The red-billed sturgeons are very fat in winter, including the common sturgeons. This season is the time when sturgeons are on the market.
Of course, there is also hairtail.
However, Zhang Ze is not in the East China Sea, so he is not very interested in fishing for cutlassfish.
When he arrived at the destination fishing spot, he lined up the fishing rods in a row. Except for the bamboo rods which were used to catch big fish, the other fishing rods were mainly used to deal with fish weighing no more than 30 kilograms.
One of them is specifically used for catching red-billed sturgeon, and the remaining three are specifically used for catching sturgeon.
After all, there is a big gap between the number ratio of the two, and it is impossible to achieve the effect of continuous fishing if you fish for red-billed guppies.
Use the bamboo pole to fish for red-billed sturgeon first. If no fish is caught for a long time, change the bait to sturgeon.
There is also profit to be made from large sturgeons weighing over 100 kilograms, and if there are any, he doesn't mind catching them all.
Soon, the four fishing rods nearby responded, and then the tips of two of the fishing rods swayed and trembled up and down, obviously some fish were hooked.
Zhang Ze started the winch to retrieve the fish. The water here was only about 40 meters deep, so the fishing line was reeled in relatively quickly.
After a while, two large sturgeons weighing more than ten kilograms appeared on the water surface.
Because of the sturgeon glue, this sturgeon weighing more than ten pounds is not cheap. In later generations, one pound can be sold for eighty yuan.
Even though it is cheap now, it can still be sold for 30 or 40 cents per pound.
There is no way around it. There are large quantities of sturgeon on the market now, and there is still some time before the end of the year, so the price has been lowered a lot.
Normally, if you catch this kind of big sturgeon, you can basically sell it for more than 50 cents.
He looked around and didn't see any fishing boats, but in broad daylight he still used a scoop net to pull up the fish, put them under the side of the boat and then stored them in the space.
After the two fish were caught, the bait was put back into the water, and at the same time, the last fishing rod for fishing sturgeon was also caught.
For a while, Zhang Ze was very happy fishing for sturgeon, but he didn't see a single red-billed sturgeon.
Seeing this, he knew that there should be no red-billed sturgeon here, so he collected all the red-billed sturgeon baits, replaced them with sturgeon baits, and fished here for a while.
After more than an hour, more than seventy sturgeons weighing more than ten to twenty pounds were caught.
Unfortunately, it is hard to come across a sturgeon weighing more than 100 kilograms. He waited for most of the day but there was none. In the end, he did catch one weighing more than 50 kilograms, which was a consolation.
Seeing that the fish bite had become much worse, Zhang Ze knew that the larger ones in the school of small sturgeons here had almost all been caught, so he took the boat to another place.
This time he came to the place where he had fished for many red-billed guppies before. The largest red-billed guppy he had caught was only 33 kilograms, and even after using the growth function, it was still less than 50 kilograms. He hoped to catch a big one today.
This time, there are only two fishing rods for fishing common sturgeon, and the remaining three are all for fishing red-billed sturgeon. The bamboo poles are still tied with the largest fish hooks, and we choose to catch the big ones first.
After putting all the fish hooks into the water, Zhang Ze stared at the other four fishing rods that were most likely to catch fish, but the next moment the bamboo poles suddenly bent downward, which made his eyes light up.
He quickly turned on the winch, and the fishing rod shook violently, then bent even more severely due to the force on both sides.
But the size of the red-billed sturgeon is not too large, so even if Zhang Ze fishes it himself, it won’t be too difficult, let alone using a winch.
The forty-meter fishing line was retrieved in just a few minutes.
The big fish at the bottom of the water also revealed its true face. Zhang Ze saw that the fish was nearly one and a half meters long and immediately showed a look of surprise.
I didn't expect to be so lucky. In less than two hours at sea, I had already achieved one-third of my goal.
This fish is definitely a king of fish. It can be kept in the space temporarily and taken out before the seafood restaurant opens.
If you place it in a certain space, you can use the growth function to make the king fish bigger.
Since you need to keep the fish, it is not appropriate to use a hook to lift it up.
Zhang Ze pulled the rope on the crane, made a lock, circled the fish's tail and tightened it, then he started the crane with confidence and lifted the red-billed sturgeon up.
Still cautiously, he let the fish lie completely on the deck before putting it into the space.
[Successfully caught a redmouthed bream, weighing 125.57 catties, experience (fish king) +2000. ]
Although he had not gone out to sea for a month as he accompanied his wife and children, Zhang Ze had successfully upgraded his space to level thirty-seven during the time he was at sea.
Perhaps because his child was about to be born, the space gave him a peace BUFF, allowing his family, including himself, to live their lives in peace.
It’s not far from level 40, and the experience points are not much at the moment. With the two thousand points given by the red-billed sturgeon, it’s just over ten thousand.
Seeing that the experience points were sufficient, Zhang Ze simply clicked on the growth function. By this time tomorrow, the red-billed sturgeon would grow to 163.24 kilograms.
It weighs more than 150 kilograms and its body length should be around 1.6 to 1.7 meters.
Unfortunately, compared with some fish, the red-billed sturgeon is still a little thin. If it were a grouper, a fish of this length would be over 200 kilograms.
However, Zhang Ze would not exchange any grouper for a 160-kg red-billed sturgeon, whose value is inestimable, only slightly lower than that of the yellow croaker.
It was a good start, but he didn't leave because the other fishing rods also caught fish.
There were both sturgeon and red-billed sturgeon, and more than a dozen of each weighing about ten pounds were caught. Seeing that the fish had stopped biting, Zhang Ze started the boat and continued to change fishing spots.
Thirteen red-billed sturgeons weighing between ten and fifteen kilograms, the price is quite reasonable.
And each one of them is very fat. Zhang Ze decided to fish here for a while and leave when he had caught most of the red-billed sturgeons.
After a while, he stopped near a small isolated island. There was a large area of red on the bottom of the water here, and the resources were more than the two fishing spots he had just passed.
This time, in addition to fishing for red-billed guppies, the fish on the other two fishing rods were replaced with special grouper baits for fishing grouper.
Zhang Ze vaguely remembered that he had caught a lot of sea grouper here before, but it has been so long that he has forgotten about it. He decided to see if there is any today.
As a result, a fish took the bait as soon as it was put in the water, and soon two bright red snappers were caught.
Because Zhang Ze changed the fish hook, these two sea groupers weighed only a little over three pounds.
After all, the fish hooks used to catch fish weighing more than ten kilograms are not suitable for catching red grouper. Fish over ten kilograms are the king of fish, and generally you won’t catch that fish.
But then, there was no trace of the red spots, but there were a lot of blue spots.
Seeing this, Zhang Ze felt that there were not many red-billed sturgeons, so he replaced the red-billed sturgeon bait on the bamboo pole with grouper bait.
If there is no other big redmouthed bass, then it is also okay to catch a bigger grouper.
Zhang Ze was fishing happily here, however, the sound of a fishing boat's engine in the distance broke the peace.
He turned his head and saw three wooden boats, about ten meters long, forming a V-shape and heading towards him.
Zhang Ze just took a look and continued fishing without paying any attention.
This place is not far from Nan'ao Island, and if fishermen are interested, they will occasionally come here to fish.
The sea is calm today, so it is certainly possible for these small boats to go to further places.
"Who told you to fish here?" However, Zhang Ze was fishing his own fish without looking for trouble, but trouble came to him.
This was also the first time he encountered such troublemakers at sea, not counting the last time when they hijacked his ship.
"Of course it was me who asked me to fish here!" Zhang Ze glanced at the skinny fisherman who spoke.
Because of Lin Long and Lin Hu, he has learned Teochew, so he can not only understand it, but also speak it.
But he still started the winch and reeled in the fishing line regardless of whether he had caught a fish or not.
There were six people in total in the three boats, with two men in each boat.
When they heard Zhang Ze's words, they were all stunned because he was also speaking Chaoshan dialect.
But if you pay attention, you can still hear the difference in accent.
So the man who had just called out said, "I don't care who asked you to fish, anyway, please leave here. This place belongs to our Nan'ao Island, you outside fishermen, leave quickly."
Zhang Ze laughed immediately. Occupying territory was a very common thing. The villagers in his fishing village also had their own offshore fishing spot, which they would guard spontaneously to prevent fishermen from other places from coming.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But that's near the coast, the range is not that large.
The reason why Zhang Ze dared to fish here was mainly because of the distance between this place and Nan'ao Island.
In his opinion, it is quite close to Nan'ao Island, but this is only a relative statement.
The fishermen living on the island can prevent fishermen from other places from fishing around the island, but this place is almost ten nautical miles away. Whose territory is so large that can cover ten nautical miles?
"If you want to fish, go somewhere else. The resources here are very good. You can find a random isolated island and cast your net near it and you will have a good catch."
"I won't be a nuisance to you if I fish here, so hurry up and don't make a scene in front of me."
Even though there are six men on the other side, Zhang Ze is not afraid.
None of them are even 1.7 meters tall, and they are dark and skinny, looking like they have very little strength.
Not to mention that there were trolls on the boat, even if there weren't any trolls, he could handle these six people with the boxing and grappling techniques he had been practicing.
"Puni Apo, this kid is so arrogant. Just wait, I'm going to come up and beat you up." The man started cursing after being confronted, then went in and got out a kitchen knife, and asked the people around him to drive the boat over.
It was obvious that he was planning to board the ship and kill someone. As for whether he really dared to do it with a knife, Zhang Ze felt that he did.
Nowadays, it is not uncommon for people to be drowned in the sea due to a disagreement, especially when it happens at sea and no one knows about it.
The folk customs of Chaoshan are actually quite fierce. If two people speak Chaoshan dialect together, it may be like they are swearing at each other. Fighting is common, but they are very united when they are outside.
Seeing that they were all using kitchen knives, Zhang Ze went straight into the cabin and took out a shotgun.
When the man's wooden boat just reached the stern of the Duoyu and he was about to get on board, he found that the other party was walking towards him with something in his hand that was particularly eye-catching.
"." The man immediately raised his hand and grinned: "Sir, I was just kidding you!"
The rest of the people also got scared and quickly hid in the small cabin.
"Are you kidding?" Zhang Ze walked over with a smile and pointed the gun at his forehead, but without turning on the safety. "Weren't you quite crazy just now? I told you to leave here immediately. How is my fishing here bothering you?"
"No, no, sir, could you please not point this thing at me? I... I'm scared." The man had a sad face, his legs kept shaking, and he was almost frightened to death.
"I feel like you're still not convinced!" Although Zhang Ze didn't intend to feed the man to the fish, he still planned to scare him well so that he wouldn't turn around and shake people.
He plans to continue fishing here and will definitely come here more often in the future.
"How about this, we each go back and get some people, and then have a fight on the sea. Whoever wins will own this sea area. What do you think?"
"Just bring along your spray guns, rocket launchers, and the like, and let's see who's more powerful!"
"Rocket launcher?" The man fell to his knees on the deck, completely frightened.
If it were a local Chaoshan gang, they would not be able to scare the tough guy Zhang Ze.
But these people are just ordinary fishermen on Nan'ao Island, or second-rate people in the village. Although they also make a living by fishing, they fish for half a day and dry the nets for three days. They only come out to work when they have no money to drink or gamble.
People like this don't even have rocket launchers, let alone shotguns.
Just now they saw Zhang Ze was alone, and found that the fishing situation here was good, so they dared to drive him away, but they didn't expect to encounter a tough guy.
"You want to offend someone? Why don't you look at what the other person has? I have such a big ship parked here. How can you little bastards bully me?"
Zhang Ze did this because he had already seen through the nature of these people.
Why would other gangs chase him fishing? Besides, such a big boat also shows that the owner of the boat is quite powerful. Under normal circumstances, who would be blind enough to offend him? It's not like he took the initiative to cause trouble! "Sir, I'm blind, please forgive me!" The man's mouth trembled, and he didn't utter the classic quote of begging for mercy in TV dramas.
Zhang Ze saw that his purpose of intimidation had been achieved, so he told them to get out: "Get out of here, and don't show up in my sight again, or I'll drive the boat and knock you over, and feed you to the fish."
"Get out, we'll get out now!" Hearing that Zhang Ze had let him go, the man almost cried for joy. He nodded and bowed hurriedly and called on his companions to leave by boat quickly.
This will be a shadow in his life. He will probably have nightmares when he sleeps in the next few days.
Seeing the few people leave quickly, Zhang Ze put away the spray gun and put it back, then continued fishing.
If he hadn't found this great fishing spot, he might not have been willing to stop.
However, these people were already frightened and would not bother him again.
We went back to continue fishing and time soon came to night.
During this period, Zhang Ze's harvest was very good. There were not many red-billed bream, but in addition to the king fish, there were 123 in the space.
Although half of them weighed only five to ten kilograms, the harvest was already quite good.
The most important thing is the harvest of grouper. A total of 79 red groupers were harvested, all weighing between two and five kilograms. So far, no one weighing more than five kilograms has been caught.
But there were quite a lot of other groupers, the most numerous of which were the blue groupers, which were almost as abundant as the incoming stocks, with more than 230 caught.
The small ones weigh more than three kilograms, and the largest one weighs just over fifty kilograms.
The number of tiger grouper is also good, slightly less than that of red grouper, but the total weight is higher.
There were about a hundred other groupers in total, not to mention various types of sea bream and the like. In short, we made a lot of money.
And this is the daytime harvest. At present, the number of fish shown on the fish finder does not seem to have changed and is still very large.
After Zhang Ze had dinner, he turned the Duoyu around and came to the center of the fish school. Perhaps the harvest would be better that night. (End of this chapter)
