Not long after, Bai Yu emerged from the cabin wearing a life jacket.
His attire was standard equipment for every deck worker; anyone not wearing a life jacket was not allowed on deck.
These are the rules for this competition, as well as the rules for all crew members of Bai Yu's company, demonstrating their responsibility for the safety of everyone's lives.
Wearing a life jacket may make doing anything a little inconvenient, but if it's good for your life and health, then it's worth doing.
After Bai Yu came to the deck, he did not immediately return to his own fishing spot at the bow. Instead, he strolled around the deck at the stern to check on the other anglers' progress.
It's not that Bai Yu wanted to find out the results of other contestants; that's not what he wanted to find out. What he wanted to know was which depth of sea where it was easiest to catch fish right now.
It's a little embarrassing to ask others for information, but since it's for the sake of achieving better results, there's nothing wrong with asking.
However, after making inquiries, Bai Yu found out a wide variety of information.
While he was taking a nap, fortunately, there were quite a few anglers on the deck who were fishing, and these anglers were fishing at different depths.
Some were focused on bottom fishing for big fish, but they had been waiting since after lunch and hadn't caught a single fish weighing over 100 pounds. They had only caught a few bull trevally and barracuda.
Some fish are caught in the middle and lower layers of the sea, where the catch is more varied, including trevally, barracuda, and even grouper, various sea bream, pomfret, and so on.
However, they are slightly smaller in size, unlike the larger fish caught by bottom fishing.
As for the last group who fished in the upper and middle layers of the sea, these fishermen had the biggest catch. Here, "biggest" refers to the number of fish caught, not the weight.
There are many types of sea fish that can be caught at this depth, the most numerous being white croaker and yellow croaker. These two types of fish are very abundant, and their populations are also very large.
Bai Yu had a general understanding of the information she had gathered.
After such a long period of recovery, the vacuum of seabed resources caused by the pomfret has been restored, and the number of fish in the seabed has increased.
This is good news for many athletes, as it can improve their performance and allow them to earn more money.
For Bai Yu, the decision he needs to make now is to choose which area of the sea to fish in, and that choice will mean different results.
After some thought, Bai Yu decided to stick to his strategy from the morning and continue his fight against the big fish in the ocean today.
As long as he can catch a giant fish weighing over 100 pounds, it will be worth it for him. Even if his arms are not in a good condition to catch giant fish, he will grit his teeth and catch it.
Of course, bottom fishing also has its risks, namely that the waiting time for catching big fish is not short. If he can't catch them, Bai Yu's results for the day may not be very good.
However, this is not a big problem. He had good luck this morning and can withstand the consequences of bad luck in the afternoon.
Even if you average the two, his gains today are still quite good.
Furthermore, even though Bai Yu chose bottom fishing, he didn't change his equipment; he still used the same large fishing line he changed to that morning.
However, he was still using the same small hook he had used for fishing for pomfret, but he had changed the bait to a large squid.
He still has some squid bait left today, enough to keep him fishing for a few more casts. If he runs out, he'll just switch to other bait.
Bai Yu originally intended to use a large squid as bait to see if he could attract some larger fish to bite the hook.
Unfortunately, although his idea was good, the final result was minimal.
It wasn't until after 6 p.m., when the bell for dinner on the fishing boat rang for quite a while, that Bai Yu finally started preparing to pack up his lines and go have dinner.
After a busy afternoon, fishing for almost three hours, his catch was very meager.
Well, it's best described as uneventful. There's no chance of an air force explosion, but there's also no major explosion either.
His catch this afternoon was quite varied, ranging from a large fish weighing over 30 pounds to a small grouper, which was his only catch exceeding 20 pounds.
The smaller ones are even smaller ones, like the filefish, which weighs only eight or nine ounces.
When Bai Yu saw that he had caught a filefish, he was a little stunned, because in his clear memory, the squid he used as bait seemed to weigh about a pound.
How come I used such a big bait, but ended up catching a filefish that was smaller than the bait?
When the fish took the bait, Bai Yu sensed that it wasn't going to be very big, but he never expected it to be so small!
Based on the size of the filefish and squid, this creature probably wouldn't be able to bite the hook, but unfortunately, there are always exceptions.
Just as he was casting his line, Bai Yu had a sudden inspiration. He threaded the hook through the squid's tentacles, and then, as luck would have it, the filefish, seeing that the squid wasn't moving, came over and started eating its tentacles.
The final result was obvious: it was caught by the white fisherman, becoming his smallest catch of the day using large bait.
Besides that, his catch in the afternoon was not much. After working for three hours, he only caught nine fish, including the filefish.
On average, you only catch three fish per hour, or one fish every twenty minutes.
How to describe this efficiency? It's high at the same time, but also a bit low.
Normally, catching three fish in an hour while sea fishing isn't bad, but compared to this morning, the efficiency is just too low.
There's absolutely no comparison...
