Early the next morning, Feng Ye and Fang Yi went out to sea to guard that area as usual.
However, there's another one, Ah-Can, today.
Once the boat had left the dock, Feng Ye took out fishing lines and hooks: "Come on, don't just sit there, everyone come and tie up your hooks."
There was no time at all last night, and I got up too late this morning, so I had no choice but to tie it on the boat.
"How do I tie this fishhook? I've never done it before."
Fang Yi held a fishhook, looking completely bewildered.
Wang Teng and Zhang Qiang were in a similar predicament, unsure of where to begin.
"Tying a fishhook is very simple, I'll teach you. First, fold the fishing line and put it on the hook, hold the line down with your thumb, and then wrap the shorter end around the hook shank..."
Feng Ye spoke as he demonstrated.
Soon, a fishhook was tied.
Fang Yi and the others learned it in no time. It wasn't difficult to begin with; they just hadn't seen it before.
Although I wasn't very skilled at first and made some mistakes, I got the hang of it after tying a few.
While tying the fishing hook to his hook, Feng Ye suddenly remembered the oysters and asked, "Have your oysters been opened yet?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yi's face lit up with joy: "We worked an extra shift last night and finished opening everything. I opened three more pearls."
"I opened 5."
Wang Teng stretched out his hand with a smug look on his face, his five fingers spread wide.
Fang Yi retorted, "Three is three, why five? Why don't you mention that two of them are inferior?"
Wang Teng retorted, not to be outdone: "That's still more than what you found. Those two are pearls, after all..."
Ignoring their bickering, Feng Ye turned to Zhang Qiang and asked, "What about you?"
Zhang Qiang sighed and said, "I only got two, not as many as them, but they were both quite round."
Feng Ye laughed and said, "That's not bad either. Adding the two from yesterday afternoon, you have four now."
The three of them each had four, which was quite even.
"hey-hey……"
Zhang Qiang chuckled and scratched his head, a satisfied expression on his face.
Feng Ye turned his head and shouted at A-Can in the driver's seat, "A-Can, what about you? Have you opened that bag of oysters yet?"
Ah-Can poked his head out from the driver's seat: "I didn't drive, my mom did. It seems like she found two pearls."
"Two in one bag, what incredible luck!"
Zhang Qiang stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Feng Ye was slightly surprised: "That's great, you can keep it to make a pair of earrings for your future wife."
"That's what my mother said too, Ye-ge, what about you?"
"I don't know, I forgot to ask."
He found that all three bags at home had been opened when he got back after dinner last night.
He meant to ask, but then he was so focused on doing what he loved that he forgot.
Unexpectedly, there are still people with ulterior motives today. As soon as they approached that area of the sea, they saw two boats moored on the sea.
Before the Rising Sun could get close enough to drive them away, the two ships sailed off on their own.
Since they wisely left on their own, Feng Ye didn't bother to chase after them.
Ah-Can randomly chose a spot and stopped the boat.
Each of Fang Yi and the others was given a hand-held fishing line, while Feng Ye took the remaining twenty fishing lines, baited them, and tied them to the gunwale.
With each pole spaced about 2 meters apart, they can almost completely cover both sides of the Rising Sun.
"Will this work?" Ah-chan asked with some doubt.
“Isn’t this similar to longline fishing? How could it not work? Besides, I’m using live bait,” Feng Ye said as he tied the fishing line to the gunwale.
Ah-Can thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That makes sense, but I'll stick to hand fishing. It's not fun fishing like this."
"Whatever you say."
Feng Ye shrugged indifferently and handed him a fishing line.
Before he could even tie all the fishing lines, he heard Fang Yi excitedly say, "A fish has taken the bait! I can feel the fish pulling..."
Fang Yi promptly raised his hand to hook the fish, then alternately pulled the line upwards with his gloved hands.
Everyone's attention was drawn to him, and Feng Ye also stopped to see what kind of fish was the first one to board the boat today.
Soon, a fish with a bluish-green back and white belly, weighing about two pounds, was revealed and lifted into the air.
It's sea bass again.
Although it wasn't a valuable fish, Fang Yi was still overjoyed. He unhooked the fish and put it in a bucket half-filled with seawater.
With him taking the lead, the others gradually started catching fish as well.
Wang Teng caught a small barracuda, and Zhang Qiang caught a sea bass.
Ah-chan also caught a fish, but he was the unluckiest, as he caught a worthless bluefin bream.
However, no matter what kind of fish it is, having a catch is good and something to be happy about.
Feng Ye, on the other hand, hadn't caught any fish yet; he hadn't even finished tying up his fishing line.
By the time he had tied all the fishing lines to the side of the boat, someone had already caught a third fish.
As soon as he tied the fishing line, Feng Ye quickly returned to the first line he had tied and reached out to pull it to see if any fish had taken the bait.
That's the downside of fishing like that; even if a fish bites, it's hard to tell.
Unless the fish struggles violently and thrashes around underwater, causing the fishing line to move around, you have to use your hand to straighten the line.
"Hopefully there will be some activity, or at least a good start."
Unfortunately, the first fishing line felt light and flimsy, indicating that no fish had taken the bait yet.
Feng Ye lowered the first fishing line with some disappointment, moved on to the second line, and then the third...
"Damn, what happened? How could there be nothing? This can't be right..."
Five fishing lines in a row, all empty.
Just as he had given up hope and mechanically pulled on the sixth fishing line, his hand suddenly felt a strong pull.
"Holy crap, finally a fish has taken the bait!"
He was overjoyed and immediately gripped the fishing line tightly, pulling it upwards with force.
This is for hooking fish, a basic fishing action, to firmly insert the hook into the fish's mouth and prevent it from escaping.
After hooking the fish, he sensed that the fish was struggling more forcefully, and then he kept pulling the line upwards with both hands.
