If you're on the vast ocean and have nothing to do, what would you do to pass the time?
Hey, you guessed it, it's fishing, of course!
This just so happens to be one of Bai Yu's hobbies; when he talks about fishing, he's wide awake.
"Brother Yu, it's so boring just watching this silent scene. Why don't we go fishing for a while and come back to check on the progress later?"
Uncle Liao already said that this cutting work might take several days. We can't just sit on the deck watching silent movies for days on end.
After watching the screen for a while, Li Shuang made a suggestion to Bai Yu, who was standing next to him.
"Fishing? That sounds good. No wonder you asked me to bring a fishing tackle bag before you went out to sea. So you've been wanting to go fishing all along, haven't you?"
Bai Yu was also feeling a bit bored at this moment, and Li Shuang's suggestion was exactly what he wanted to do, as fishing was his favorite thing.
Bai Yu then stood up from her seat and led the way out.
They were watching videos in the office area of the cabin before, and now they're going to their crew quarters to get their fishing gear bags and get ready to start fishing.
Moreover, they weren't fishing near the salvage ship; they were fishing from a lifeboat, about 100 to 200 meters away.
If the fish gets too close to the salvage boat, no one knows whether the fish that has taken the bait will hinder the salvage operation after it is hooked.
After all, when divers descend to the seabed, there are connecting lines that go directly to the seabed.
If, during fishing, a fish that has taken the bait drags the fishing line and gets tangled in this connecting line, then no one can guarantee what will happen next.
To prevent any possible emergencies, Bai Yu and the others preferred to go fishing further away rather than see any unexpected situations occur.
Besides, the weather today is sunny and there are no waves at sea.
Even if they went fishing in a lifeboat, there shouldn't be any other unexpected situations, so you can rest assured.
Soon, Bai Yu and his two companions, each wearing a life jacket, carrying a fishing rod, a small bucket, and two boxes, boarded the lifeboat.
Accompanying them was a salvage crew member. Regardless of the circumstances, Bai Yu and his two companions were traveling in the salvage ship's lifeboat, and the salvage ship had an obligation to ensure their safety during the voyage.
As the lifeboat started, Bai Yu and his two companions quickly reached a position of about 200 meters, and then began assembling their fishing rods.
Bai Yu and his friends came out fishing on a whim this time. They weren't there to catch any giant fish; they were just trying to pass the time.
Therefore, in terms of fishing gear selection, the fishing line used by Baiyu is only a 100-meter fishing line with a tensile strength of 30 pounds.
With Bai Yu's skill level, if he operates properly, he can catch fish weighing forty or fifty pounds, which Bai Yu is very satisfied with.
Bai Yu quickly finished tying the fishing line, then took a shrimp from the plastic bucket, hooked it onto the fishing hook, and threw it into the lifeboat.
Since he was just fishing to pass the time, Bai Yu didn't plan to fish too deep. He kept the bait at a depth of about ten meters.
To be honest, Bai Yu wasn't too sure whether he could catch fish at that depth, because he had never fished in this area before and didn't know the specifics.
So this fishing trip is all about guesswork; it's great if you catch something, but it's okay if you don't.
However, before casting his line, Bai Yu checked his luck stat for the day. Seeing that it was a solid 73 points, he felt relieved.
With such a high luck stat, putting aside whether you can catch any valuable high-end sea fish, it's highly unlikely you'll come back empty-handed.
That's enough. What else is there to choose besides the Air Force?
After Bai Yu cast his line, Wang Hai and Li Shuang followed suit, choosing to fish in the upper layers of the water, just like Bai Yu.
The only difference is that the three brothers fish in different directions, which helps them avoid causing trouble for each other.
"Brother Yu, how long do you think this shipwreck salvage mission will take? Will we be able to go home on time for National Day?"
While waiting, Bai Yu and the other two chatted with each other.
"National Day? What's up, Shuangzi? Do you have any plans for National Day? If you do, I can arrange a fishing boat that's going the same way to take you back."
"Brother Yu, it's like this, I'm planning to marry Keke, and during this National Day holiday, when everyone's on vacation, I'm thinking of taking my parents to visit Keke's family to have a chat..."
"Hey, you're getting married too? Not bad, not bad. Getting married is great, it means your parents will..."
"Hey, wait a minute, I've got a fish on the hook. Let me catch this one before we talk. I want to see what kind of fish is biting this time, so arrogant, daring to interrupt our conversation!"
Bai Yu was chatting with Li Shuang when suddenly her fishing rod sank down a little, and the reel started spinning.
In response to this situation, Bai Yu suddenly lifted the fishing rod upwards and then spun the reel back twice.
While setting the hook, I also reeled in the fishing line twice.
During Bai Yu's operation, the fish that took the bait this time did not pose too much of a challenge for him. In his opinion, the fish that took the bait this time was only about a pound.
Perhaps sensing the pressure from Bai Yu's jerk of the rod, the fish that took the bait immediately began to struggle.
However, after trying for a while, the guy seemed to realize that there was no hope of escape, so he changed the direction of his escape.
The next second, Bai Yu felt the fishing line on his rod suddenly loosen. He initially thought the fish that had bitten the hook had gotten away.
After all, the fishing line he is using is not very strong, and the hook is not very big either. As long as the fish that bites the hook is smart enough, it still has a chance to get rid of the hook and escape.
But before Bai Yu could reel in his fishing hook, he saw a flash of light on the surface of the sea, and a fish with large wings flew out of the water.
It flew out, its wings spread wide, and from its appearance alone, it looked just like a bird, except that this bird emerged from the seawater.
Using its wings, the creature glided directly from the air onto the lifeboat, flying straight up.
This flying fish isn't small either; it weighs about a pound, which is considered quite large for a flying fish.
The only thing Bai Yu didn't expect was that catching this flying fish was a little too easy. He could say that he didn't have to exert any effort at all, and the fish just flew up on its own.
Bai Yu showed no mercy to the flying fish that had delivered itself to his doorstep, and simply removed it from the hook.
Then I took out the hook remover, turned on its scissor function, and cut directly at the flying fish's gills.
These two blows are specifically for bleeding out this flying fish, to release as much blood as possible from it.
For sea fish like flying fish, gutting and bleeding them is not suitable, and they don't have the face to make Bai Yu go to such lengths.
After all, the value of flying fish is limited. The price of this thing is really not high. It's not that it's on par with mackerel, but it's not much more expensive either.
Since they're all cheap goods, there's not much to be particular about; you can even go to great lengths to buy them.
However, Bai Yu planned to eat the fish they caught during the shipwreck salvage operation, so they would definitely need to be a little more careful about that.
I don't have to say how good it is, but at least it has to be passable.
