This time we went directly to the vicinity of Dongsha Island. A quarter of the time had passed since 1981, and there were many more large fishing boats on the sea.
The offshore waters that Zhang Ze would occasionally go to are now filled with fishing boats, so he simply goes farther away to avoid being disturbed.
It took half a day to reach a resource point near Dongsha Island.
I checked the display on the fish finder and saw that the fish were resting in the afternoon. Even at the resource points, not many fish were active.
It’s okay here, but if we continue to get closer to Dongsha, we will easily be discovered and expelled.
Anyway, Zhang Ze has encountered this three times, two of which happened during the day, so he doesn't want to go there now.
What to do? Just do some trolling to kill time! Each time he goes out to sea, it takes several days. Zhang Ze often does some entertainment activities during the day.
Trolling is one of the activities he does most often and for the longest time.
Lower the boat, take the bamboo pole and set off.
Zhang Ze has been trolling in this area of water countless times, so he knows which waterways he can catch fish.
Moreover, there is open space all around and no reefs exposed above the water, so no matter how small the boat is, it will be fine and there will be no collision.
He installed the base at the stern of the boat, inserted the bamboo pole, hung a common bait on it and threw it into the water, then he started the small trolling boat and headed for the waterway where there were fish.
In order to make it easier for the fish to catch the bait, Zhang Ze did not drive the boat very fast.
Soon, the boat paused slightly, and then the fishing rod bent suddenly.
When Zhang Ze noticed this, he quickly turned around and lifted up the fishing rod, letting the boat move on its own, quickly turning the fishing rod in his hand.
The fish was big enough to pull the boat back, which means it was not that small!
Just as Zhang Ze turned it twice and reeled in two turns of the fishing line, the fishing rod could not turn anymore.
So he turned the unloading force to maximum and used the pulling force of the boat to pull the fish bubble.
The fish was naturally unwilling to give up, so it kept struggling during this period and even jumped high out of the water.
Judging from its appearance, it is a big green gannet. It seems to be more than 1.5 meters long, very big.
Qinggan generally lives in the waters around Wanwan. Fishermen in Fujian Province may be able to catch it, and there is also a chance to catch it in Dongsha.
This is a very delicious fish from the family Carcharodontosauridae in the suborder Perciformes, and is in the same family as the red snapper.
However, the green Gan seems to be more slender and not as fat as the red Gan, so its strength and weight are much smaller.
This one looks to be over 1.5 meters tall, but its physical strength is far inferior to that of Honggan.
Zhang Ze felt that the boat had not been sailing for long when the Qinggan fish ran out of energy. He took the opportunity to stop the boat, pulled the fish back, and tightened the space.
[Successfully caught a yellowtail, weighing 87.83 catties, experience (King Fish) +1000. ]
A length of 1.53 meters and weighs less than 90 kilograms?
This fish is indeed not that fat!
Zhang Ze put the fish into the breeding pond and took a look, and found that only thirty experience points were needed.
That means the fish is fine and has enough fat, so it seems that it is not a particularly bloated fish.
As for the one thousand experience points, it's a small surprise. You can cultivate a butter crab.
But Butter Crab is not in a hurry at the moment, Zhang Ze still needs to upgrade the space first.
He was about to close the space, but the next moment, he suddenly thought of something.
That is the humphead wrasse that has been raised in the space for a long time. He originally raised this fish as an ornamental fish. Maybe one day he would take it out and put it in a large fish tank outside.
After all, the smaller the grouper, the more tender the fish meat is, while the bigger it is, the tougher the meat is and not as delicious.
But now that we have breeding pools, will the situation change?
But when the humphead wrasse grows bigger, it doesn't taste good, as all the gourmets who have eaten it know. He took out a big humphead wrasse that tasted great, which seemed to be scientifically unacceptable! Thinking this way, Zhang Ze still put the fish into the breeding pond (the size of the space was changed, the original ten cubic meters felt too small).
Twelve thousand experience points? Never mind, it's better not to eat this fish! It's fine to eat the small humphead wrasse, there are plenty of big ones to replace it, why must I eat the big humphead wrasse?
Following this big grouper as the leader, there is also a rice-grade yellow croaker weighing 15.3 jin.
This fish has also been kept in this space for a very long time. Such a large yellow croaker is actually quite valuable in this era, mainly because of its fish maw.
The problem of big yellow croaker having worse meat quality as it gets bigger is not the same. When Zhang Ze thought of it, he mainly thought that he could use its growth function.
In this way, the yellow croaker can reach nearly 20 kilograms, if for no other reason than for the fun of watching it.
When the price of yellow croaker was pushed to the highest in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, he was very curious about what kind of sky-high price such a large yellow croaker could be sold for.
Now the experience points are sufficient, so Zhang Ze used 10,000 first.
After he was done, he put another bait on it and threw it into the water, while preparing to drive the boat back.
At this moment, a sudden huge force pulled the tip of the fishing rod directly into the water, causing the bow of the boat to lift up slightly.
But this force gave him a very strange feeling. Instead of pulling the fishing line, he seemed to be sinking as if the fishhook had hooked on something heavy.
Zhang Ze was about to pull up the fishing rod when he discovered that the angle of the fishing line was changing at a very slow speed, indicating that there was a creature at the bottom of the water, and it was moving.
Such a strange situation made him unable to figure out what was biting the bait for a moment.
He tried to pull it, but found that he couldn't do it, so he tried to use the boat to pull it!
The boat started moving, and then ran away with the underwater burden. Given that the underwater creatures were extremely slow, his boat was also moving very slowly.
The main reason was that the bow was a little light, and he was afraid that if he drove too fast the boat would lift up and capsize.
Zhang Ze walked all the way back to the vicinity of the Duoyu. He felt that after walking for such a long time, the fish should be tired even if it still had strength.
So he went over, grabbed the fishing rod, and started reeling in the line.
As a result, it was very difficult to reel in the line, as the creatures in the water didn't seem to be consumed at all.
This made Zhang Ze feel very strange, and he also realized that all the driving he had just done was in vain.
In this case, he drove the boat again, returned to the stern of the Duoyu, tied it to the big ship with a rope, and after making sure that the bow of the small boat would not lift up and capsize, he went back to reel in the line.
If trolling doesn’t work, then you’ll just have to put in some effort yourself.
It was difficult to turn the fishing rod, and the tip of the rod had never come out of the water. Fortunately, the fishing line was reeled in little by little, and Zhang Ze did not feel much struggle.
However, he was sure that he was fishing for a living thing, because the creatures at the bottom of the water would move, but the noise was very small.
Zhang Ze looked at the fishing line. When the boat was moving just now, the fishing line was pulled out a little, and there was still about a hundred meters left.
Fortunately, he was strong enough to deal with the creature that had taken the bait.
It took more than ten minutes to pull the fish to the surface, covering a distance of one hundred meters.
Looking at the fish lying on its side in the water like a door panel, Zhang Ze sighed helplessly.
He should have thought of it earlier. There was no sound after the fish took the hook, but it was so heavy that he couldn't think of any other creature except a sunfish.
Even a moonfish will run around a bit instead of just lying down like a sunfish.
No wonder the fish didn’t consume any energy when the boat started moving just now. This sunfish must have been surfing!
He had wasted so much time and effort for nothing, only to catch a fish that was of no use to him.
Although the liver and fat of the sunfish can be used to make oil, and the liver oil can be used as medicine, not much can be made from one fish, and he does not have a processing plant.
So Zhang Ze pulled the fish over and put it into the space. It weighed more than 720 kilograms, but it was not the king of fish. He gained 20 experience points.
The next moment, he released the fish.
If fishermen catch this kind of fish, they will take it back and sell it to factories at a low price, and the fish meat will be made into fish meal as feed.
Zhang Ze could actually take it back to feed the crabs, but the fish had too many parasites, so he gave up.
After releasing the sunfish, he untied the rope and continued trolling until it started to darken. He then returned to the Duoyu and hoisted the boat up.
The harvest for the afternoon was pretty good. I caught more than a dozen swordfish and some red and green mackerels.
After preparing dinner and feeding Xiao Hei, Zhang Ze went to the cab to check the fish finder after taking a rest. When he saw that the fish became active at night, he installed the bamboo pole on the small winch and prepared to start restocking.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
There are the most fish in the water layer between 130 and 140 meters below the water, so the bait is also placed at this depth.
As soon as the bait reached the designated position, the fishing rod moved. It bent down sharply and seemed to be a big one. Zhang Ze immediately turned the direction of the winch and began to reel in the line.
The fishing line was slowly reeled in, and several other fishing rods also caught fish one after another.
Just as the first fishing rod was about to pull the fish out of the water, the rod suddenly vibrated.
"Fuck! The shark stole my fish!"
After being out at sea for so long, Zhang Ze basically knows everything about the fishing rod and the conditions under the water.
As soon as he saw this reaction, he knew that a shark was intercepting his food, because there were many sharks in those days and he encountered them often.
"Damn, we just cleaned it up half a month ago, and now it's here again."
Zhang Ze had no choice but to exchange some shark-specific baits and put them aside.
If you encounter such a situation, you can only fish for sharks first. Only after all the sharks in the waters are caught can you continue to fish for other fish with peace of mind.
Sure enough, when the fishing rod stopped shaking and the line was reeled in, a large grouper head emerged from the water.
It was a tiger grouper. Judging from the size of the fish head, it weighed at least 20 kilograms. What a loss! The big fish head was gnawed into pieces, and Zhang Ze was too lazy to take it. He took it off and threw it into the water. He hung a shark bait on the hook and started fishing for sharks.
The other four fishing rods were all attacked as well, it looked like a swarm of them had come tonight!
"Boom boom boom~"
Zhang Ze threw out four fish heads of different sizes with tears in his eyes, and all his troops were wiped out in the first round.
Fortunately, the first shark head appeared on the water surface very quickly, and as expected, it was almost eaten by its own kind.
The sharks caught by the other four fishing rods gradually emerged from the water. Except for one shark head, the other three were not attacked.
Zhang Ze picked up the javelin and hit the sharks' brains one by one. The blood immediately dyed the water red and also stimulated other sharks, causing them to rush over.
However, the winch was still working, and these sharks were not particularly large, only about two or three meters.
After being pulled into the air, Zhang Ze found an opportunity to put it into the space in order to gain experience points.
When the shark dies completely, it will be automatically expelled from the space.
Zhang Ze collected the sharks he caught one by one, and occasionally threw out a shark skeleton, which were all eaten by their own kind.
As more and more sharks piled up on the deck, the sharks that were caught subsequently were not eaten.
Either the remaining sharks were full and ready to leave, or there were not many sharks left underwater.
Either way, it's a good thing for Zhang Ze.
Two hours later, the shark bait was completely motionless in the water.
At this time, there were forty-seven sharks ranging from one meter to four meters in length piled up on the deck, and there were still two sharks that were not completely dead in the space.
Zhang Ze started the winch to reel in the line, took out all the shark baits, and then replaced them with ordinary baits to fish normally.
As for the sharks, he used a crane to send them into the cold storage compartment one by one.
Unlike in the past, Zhang Ze only took the shark fins when fishing for sharks and threw the shark bodies back into the sea.
But now that we have fish farms, both blue crabs and white clams eat fish.
After the fins of these sharks are cut off, their bodies are cut into small pieces and used as fish feed.
In other words, he didn't know who the owner of the factory that produced cod liver oil in Nanguan was, otherwise he could also sell shark liver.
Even though Zhang Ze caught nearly fifty sharks at one time, in fact, the number is far less than those fishing boats that specialize in catching sharks for cutting shark fins or making cod liver oil.
Those sharks were caught in hundreds or thousands in one net, which led to a sharp decrease in the number of sharks in later generations and the emergence of protected species.
Next, the normal fishing mode finally began, and Zhang Ze collected the valuable deep-sea fish into the space.
There were so many fish heads just now. If it were someone else, they would definitely lose their mind.
That is Zhang Ze, who was so angry that he just caught them all in one fell swoop until he felt relieved.
He worked very hard tonight and fished until about three in the morning, when the fish schools at the bottom of the water dispersed and fishing efficiency dropped.
There are quite a few fish swimming in the empty space, but the density is not high enough.
The next morning, Zhang Ze got up at six o'clock to continue.
After another morning of trouble, the fish at the bottom of the water have become much scarcer. This resource point has been almost fished out and can be moved on.
However, Zhang Ze, who did not get enough rest, slept for the whole afternoon, and then drove secretly to Dongsha Island at night.
The probability of encountering a patrol boat at night is very low unless you are very unlucky.
Zhang Ze had secretly come to Dongsha to fish at night many times, so he was very familiar with this.
After arriving at Dongsha, I slowly looked for a suitable fishing spot. The resources here are good, and I soon found a place with better resources than the one last night.
It’s just a bit deep, more than 170 meters.
Depth would affect the efficiency of fishing, but since he had found a good spot, he was too lazy to keep looking.
Put on the bait and start fishing.
Originally, placing crab cages and shrimp cages here would have been a good option, but there is a risk of being discovered at any time, so we had to give up.
When we arrived at Dongsha, we saw a lot more groupers, some of them weighing 20 to 30 kilograms.
The harvest was so gratifying, which was why Zhang Ze often sneaked over here. (End of this chapter)
