At noon the next day, Bai Yu walked out of the cabin looking dazed and stared blankly at the sun, which was already directly overhead.
I didn't sleep very well this morning, and I didn't get to rest until almost five o'clock. However, because it's a fishing boat, it's a bit shaky to sleep in the crew cabin.
Of course, this is mainly related to the weather. It was windy at sea this morning, and since it's just a fishing boat, it's bound to rock.
Bai Yu and the others rested on the boat, but they naturally didn't get enough rest. Even now, Bai Yu was still a little dazed.
After that, Bai Yu didn't want to do anything. Having just woken up, he had neither appetite nor any other thoughts.
He simply took a deck chair from the storage room, placed it on the deck, and started sunbathing.
The sea area they are in now is in the northern part of the East China Sea, which is no longer the South China Sea where they live. This area is basically in the temperate climate zone.
Although October is still autumn, and at the end of autumn, the overall temperature is not too low.
However, the temperature here is much lower than in Sanya. Bai Yu grew up in Sanya, so he is not used to the conditions here. He feels more comfortable basking in the sun.
Of course, Bai Yu wasn't just doing nothing and exposing himself to the sun; he held up a parasol for himself and lay down under it.
As Bai Yu lay down on the recliner, she unknowingly fell asleep again.
When he opened his eyes again, he was shaken awake by Bai Yue.
"Brother, why did you fall asleep on the deck? Aren't you going to get sunburned sleeping in the sun? Look at your right forearm, it's all exposed and red. Are you worried it will peel?"
"Huh? What? It got sunburned and is peeling?"
Bai Yu was still a little confused and had no idea what Bai Yue meant.
It wasn't until Bai Yue poked his right hand that he realized what had happened. He had been lying on the recliner and sleeping restlessly, causing his right hand to slip out. With the sun moving, his arm had been exposed to sunlight.
"Tsk, no wonder I always feel warm when I sleep, it turns out my arms got sunburned. But it shouldn't be a big problem, at worst they'll just get a little darker, but they're not going to peel."
Bai Yu glanced at the condition of her arm and then said nonchalantly.
As an athlete, being exposed to the sun is nothing new; he only needs to glance at it to know what's going on.
Bai Yu then got up from the deck chair and went into the cabin to wash up.
Bai Yue came to call him to eat. Li Xue and Ke Ke had already prepared the meal, but they didn't know whether to call it breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea.
Since it was already 2 PM, Bai Yu had slept on the deck for two hours!
As for the other ships on the sea, Bai Yu looked around when he got up and found that the ships that had been moored around them yesterday had all disappeared.
However, the sea did not become empty as a result; instead, another group of ships filled the void, and the number of ships remained dense.
It seems that the boats from yesterday have already returned to the dock to sell their fish, and the new boats have just picked up the anglers and taken them out to sea to fish.
Because of the abundance of large yellow croaker in this sea area, all kinds of boats in the vicinity have made a lot of money. Whether it's earning boat fees from anglers or the captains themselves going out to fish, they have earned in just a few days what they used to earn in several months.
On the other hand, Bai Yu and his crew planned to fish for another day before going to the dock to sell their catch and take a short trip around Zhejiang Province.
Their main purpose in going fishing is for leisure and experience; catching big yellow croaker is simply to earn more money for travel expenses and tourism costs.
After all, traveling costs money, and the more fun you want, the more you'll have to spend.
Money isn't always everything, but it can bring happiness in many situations.
If they can catch just one more large yellow croaker, they can increase their travel budget by at least a thousand yuan, which is a rare opportunity.
After a simple and delicious meal, Bai Yu had filled his stomach, and a new day of fishing could begin.
Although it's not the time of day for fishing for large yellow croaker, it's not a big deal. Even if you don't catch large yellow croaker, you can still catch some other fish.
Even though the price of white-scaled fish isn't high, if Bai Yu and his friends can catch a few boxes, they can still earn several hundred or even a thousand yuan.
Moreover, with so many white-scaled fish, catching several boxes of them isn't too difficult; it just takes a little more time to achieve your goal.
Bai Yu brought his fishing rod and equipment to the bow of the boat, along with his deck chair, intending to enjoy himself while fishing.
Anyway, the sea area they are in now doesn't have many big fish, so even if he's fishing while lying down, it's not a big problem.
Moreover, to make fishing easier for himself, Bai Yu also bought a new electric reel, which he plans to use for fishing.
As is well known, Bai Yu is a big fan of fishing. He not only enjoys the profits from his catch, but he also thoroughly enjoys the process of fishing.
In the past, he looked down on electric reel rods, believing that fishing with such rods had lost the soul of fishing.
Although Bai Yu has used electric reel rods before, there is always a prerequisite: he only uses them when he encounters a school of fish.
But this time is different. They haven't encountered any schools of fish yet, and there aren't any big fish in the area where they are, so the fishing experience isn't very great.
In this situation, using an electric reel for fishing is not a big problem, since it's mainly for catching small fish, and efficiency is the primary consideration.
There were quite a few electric fishing rods like these on the fishing boat that Bai Yu and his group were on. However, these fishing rods were not prepared by Bai Yu and his group; they were already on the boat.
Their fishing boat is used by the company. When they have free time, they use it to take fans out to sea to fish. This is considered a regular perk of their company's live streaming channel.
Since it's a fishing trip for fans, the preparation of fishing equipment is naturally very thorough.
Not to mention this electric reel, there are nearly a hundred fishing rods of all kinds on the boat, and as for the fishing hooks and lines, there are countless of them.
These electric winches were taken from the storage room. Bai Yu found them when he went to get the deck chair at noon. He wasn't greedy; out of so many electric winches, he only took one.
Bai Yu then hooked a fish onto the hook, cast it out, and placed the fishing rod on the stand, where he could leave it for the time being.
The electric reel that Bai Yu is using now, along with the same fishing line and other equipment, is similar to the one he used this morning.
Moreover, Bai Yu doesn't completely ignore the fishing rod. After hooking a fish, he needs to press the reel switch so that the electric reel will start reeling in the line, giving him a sense of involvement.
Unlike the high-tech electric reel rods of today, there was a type that required absolutely no operation from the angler. The angler simply baited the hook and then did nothing else; the line would automatically reel in the fish when a fish was caught.
That kind of fishing rod offers absolutely no sense of participation; the angler is just a beast of burden, only responsible for baiting the fish and doing nothing else.
Bai Yu has a few more things to do now, but only a little more, and he's even trying to slack off...
He turned his deck chair around so that he was facing the support frame, so that even if he caught a fish, he wouldn't have to get up and could just reach out and press the reel-in switch.
"Brother, you're having too much fun. Did you come out to sea to fish or to have fun? If I didn't know better, I would have thought we were on a yacht."
As soon as Bai Yu lay down, Bai Yue, who was beside her, uttered an envious voice.
"Hmm? Yueyue, we're just here on vacation, this doesn't conflict with fishing. If you're envious, I can get you a deck chair too?"
"That's great!"
A dozen minutes later, a bunch of deck chairs appeared on the deck of the fishing boat. It wasn't just Bai Yu and his two companions who were using the deck chairs.
Even Li Shuang and the others followed suit, each of them bringing out a recliner from the storage room and replacing their chairs with electric winches.
This scene was witnessed by the fishermen on the surrounding boats, who were incredibly envious. Bai Yu even heard several inquiries over the walkie-talkie asking if they had any extra deck chairs.
They certainly had extra deck chairs, but not many left. Besides, Bai Yu wasn't very familiar with the other party, or even knew them at all, so he naturally answered that he didn't have any.
There aren't many boats that have deck chairs on them. Apart from yachts or fishing boats, most fishing boats probably don't.
After all, fishing boats and dinghies are primarily for taking anglers out to sea to make money; the space on board is mainly designed for fishing.
A recliner takes up a lot of space, and you can't just bring one; you have to bring a bunch, which makes it take up too much space.
After all, not everyone is like Bai Yu's company, taking fans out to sea just for fun, to provide them with a sufficient fishing experience, and to bring them enough emotional value.
The money they make comes from the fans fishing; Bai Yu's company doesn't need to rely on fishing boats to make money, so their preparations in other areas are still very thorough.
As Bai Yu lay down, the electric reel started working, and before long, Bai Yu heard the sound of a fish being caught on the rod.
The electric reel provided by their company is equipped with an alarm device. As soon as a fish bites the hook, the alarm will sound, allowing anglers to react immediately.
Upon hearing the sound, Bai Yu rolled over, reached to the side, and pressed the reel switch on the electric winch. With a single press, the electric winch began to operate.
Using an electric reel for fishing has one advantage: no matter how big the fish is, as long as it's within the line's capacity, it can reel in the line steadily, regardless of how big the fish is.
It's about maintaining a constant speed while reeling in the line, something that's impossible for a human being. After all, we might need to rest a bit along the way, and even human strength has its limits.
With the electric reel working continuously, the fish that had taken the bait was quickly retrieved, and Bai Yu took the opportunity to climb up from the deck chair.
Unfortunately, Bai Yu still needs to do it himself to remove the fish from the hook; he can't handle this electric reel rod by himself.
This time, unsurprisingly, I caught a white-scaled fish. It was quite a good size, about two pounds, and I think I could sell it for around fifty yuan.
Bai Yu then happily removed the hook from the fish, tossed it into the fish box next to him, and continued fishing with bait on the hook.
The fifty yuan has arrived. Don't underestimate the value of a white-scaled fish. Although a single white-scaled fish isn't worth much, catching several and accumulating dozens or even hundreds can make a considerable fortune.
Anyway, Bai Yu uses an electric reel, and fishing isn't particularly troublesome, so what else could he complain about?
