Chapter 312 Encountering a School of Fish



With Bai Yu's results now available, other contestants can see them when entering and leaving the cabin.

Upon seeing that Bai Yu's achievement of lifting over 1,200 jin on only the second day, they all exclaimed in disbelief.

As for whether these people will question the authenticity of this result?

There was really no need to do that, because Bai Yu didn't participate in the competition this time, but Wang Hai and the other two did.

If Wang Hai and his team want to achieve good results in the competition, they must not let Bai Yu catch any fish; his achievement can only be attributed to his own catch.

Overall, Bai Yu's score is indeed quite high, but after last night's all-night fishing session, the other fishermen's scores won't be too bad either.

Putting everything else aside, Riku, who was also at the stern of the ship, had very good grades, which were already close to a thousand.

However, since they hadn't actually weighed it, they weren't entirely sure what the exact number was.

Bai Yu wanted to be a benchmark, so he counted every fish he caught, which gave him a clear understanding of his achievements.

For the next two days, they continued to wander the sea, sometimes fishing near small islands, sometimes going to the vicinity of oil wells, and fishing grounds were also places they frequented.

As a resource-rich sea area, the South China Sea has numerous oil wells, scattered islands, and fishing grounds that divide it into large and small areas.

During this process, they also encountered other fishing boats and fishing vessels, some of which were from our country, and some of which were boats with two monkeys.

However, with the New Year approaching, the international situation in the South China Sea is relatively stable. Even when they see ships from other countries, both sides tacitly pass by each other.

Even if the other party is the Filipino monkey who constantly clashes with us, we will ignore them unless they provoke us.

However, if the other party makes any provocative moves, the captain of the fishing boat will not let them off the hook. He can call the coast guard with just one phone call and ask them to deal with the other party.

After two days of this, Bai Yu's weight increased from over 1,200 jin to over 1,600 jin, a gain of over 400 jin for the two fish.

Compared to the previous day and two nights, the increase in this result is very small, but it is still quite good.

After all, for people who go out to sea to fish, it's already considered good if they can catch four or five hundred pounds of fish in three or four days, which is basically enough to earn back the cost of the trip.

Bai Yu has already earned back his fare in just two days, and he is very satisfied with that.

As the fifth day arrived, which was also their last day at sea, they would begin their return journey after today.

On the last day of their fishing trip, as arranged by the captain, they began their return journey, heading towards Sanya from the east of the Spratly Islands.

However, they did not travel in a straight line, but instead took a slightly northerly detour to visit Huangyan Island.

Those who are familiar with the South China Sea dispute should know that Huangyan Island is undoubtedly an inherent part of our country's territory.

They had heard before that the country had plans to reclaim land and build an island around Huangyan Island, and this time they planned to take a trip around Huangyan Island to see how far it had developed.

At this moment, Bai Yu and his group were located between the Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal. Although going to Scarborough Shoal would be a slightly roundabout route, it wasn't a major problem and was within an acceptable range.

At 4:30 a.m. on the fifth day, the fishing boat set off for Huangyan Island.

While the fishing boat headed towards Huangyan Island, Bai Yu and the others were sound asleep in the crew cabin.

Since they can't fish while the fishing boat is in motion anyway, this is the perfect time to sleep and replenish their energy.

However, before they even woke up, Bai Yu heard a knock on the door, accompanied by the voices of staff.

'Knock knock knock'

"Mr. Bai, are you awake yet? We've spotted a school of fish over here. Would you be interested in coming out for a fishing trip?"

Bai Yu was awakened by the noise. He got out of bed and sat for a while before he became a little more awake.

"Huh? What's going on? I heard someone say there's a school of fish?"

Lu Sheng, who was standing to the side, also sat up from the bed in a daze, looking at Bai Yu with a confused expression.

"I'm not quite sure either. I think the fishing boat encountered a school of fish and asked us if we wanted to go fishing."

"Wait a minute, didn't they say they spotted a school of fish? Why didn't the fishing boat stop? Isn't fishing about stopping to fish?"

Bai Yu was also a little confused at this moment. He didn't understand the current situation and could only half-guess and reply to Lu Sheng.

However, as he spoke, he noticed something was wrong: the fishing boat beneath them hadn't stopped. Shouldn't the boat have stopped if they were supposed to be fishing?

With these questions in mind, Bai Yu put on a windbreaker, got dressed, and walked out of the crew room. He then stopped a staff member and asked him about it.

The staff member who was stopped by Bai Yu briefly explained the current situation to him before continuing to wake up the other fishermen.

Through communication with the staff, Bai Yu learned that they did indeed encounter the school of fish while sailing, and that they discovered them not with a fish finder, but with the naked eye on the sea surface.

This is a school of skipjack tuna. These guys have discovered something and are hunting for food on the surface of the sea.

A large group of skipjack tuna swam on the surface of the sea, attracting many seabirds and other predators. It was because of these creatures that the captain discovered the skipjack tuna school.

The reason the fishing boat didn't stop is because the school of skipjack tuna is mobile, and the fishing boat has to keep moving in order to keep up with the school.

As for how to catch these skipjack tuna?

It's very simple. Just cast your line at these skipjack tuna and jerk them. As long as the hook catches them, you can catch them.

This fishing method is very friendly to a certain type of angler, namely those who like to use lures; they should like this method.

Upon receiving this news, Bai Yu immediately returned to the crew quarters and informed Li Shuang and the others of the situation. Then he quickly went to wash up.

While he was washing up, he saw other fishermen coming out of the crew quarters one after another. Some washed up, while others couldn't even wait and rushed out with their fishing rods, ready to go fishing on the deck.

For Bai Yu, fishing is certainly important, but his personal image is equally important.

So he took his fishing rod and went to the deck after he finished washing up, ready to find a suitable spot to start fishing.
