Feng Ye tidied up the throwing net, quickly twisted his waist and cast it out.
Wearing a raincoat slightly affected the effectiveness of casting the net, and the net was not fully spread out when it was cast.
However, it's not bad; we can't expect too much.
It's raining now, so I can't just take off my raincoat and get soaked, can I?
Just sprinkle it a few more times and it will be fine.
The others followed suit.
Ah-chan and Xiao-guo-wen used hand-thrown nets, which they quickly set up as soon as they reached the boat.
Xiao Yunhu and Du Minhui each used a landing net to reach directly into the sea to retrieve the fish.
Compared to hand-thrown nets, landing nets require no preparation and are much faster for catching fish.
The problem is that the diameter of the opening of the hand net is not large enough, so the amount of catch per net is limited, not as much as with a hand-thrown net.
Sure enough, just as Feng Ye was putting the net back in, the two of them had already scooped up a net one after another.
Xiao Yunhu said happily, "Wow, good luck, I caught a bass that's not small."
Feng Ye turned his head and saw a bunch of fish being poured out of the net onto the deck.
Among them was a bass weighing about three pounds, and a bunch of small miscellaneous fish, such as sardines, anchovies, herring, etc.
Du Minhui, who was standing to the side, laughed loudly and said, "I'm even luckier than you. I not only got a sea bass, but also a black sea bream."
"There are plenty of good fish jumping out of the sea, what's there to be proud of? Look at my net, it'll blow your mind."
As Feng Ye spoke, he suddenly exerted force and dragged the net onto the boat.
The weight of the net he caught was not light, weighing forty or fifty kilograms.
There were mostly small, miscellaneous fish, but also quite a few large ones.
However, these are all relatively common types.
There are four sea bass, two mackerel, two Bao Gong fish, and one sea wolf.
"Haha, you've blown your own horn, haven't you?"
"You only caught a few more fish because your hand net was bigger."
Xiao Yunhu and Du Minhui's laughter carried a hint of mockery.
"Grass!"
Feng Ye was speechless.
He clearly aimed his net at a large yellow croaker that jumped out of the water, but he failed to catch it and it escaped.
"This net doesn't count; the next net will definitely yield some good catches."
He emptied the goods from the net, quickly tidied them up, and then scattered them out again.
Don't rush to do the sorting work; do it slowly after it's finished.
The most urgent task now is to quickly cast more nets.
No one knows when these fish, which are currently frolicking on the sea surface, will disappear.
Ah-Can and Xiao-Guo-Wen also hauled in their nets one after another, and their catches were pretty good, around 40 to 50 jin each, with several fish of decent size.
Xiao Yunhu and Du Minhui caught two more fish.
However, they use landing nets, which at most catch one or two big fish, and sometimes none at all.
The rain was drizzling down, but everyone was working enthusiastically.
"Holy crap, this net is so heavy, can someone help me pull it down?"
Suddenly, Xiao Guowen's exclamation rang out.
"I'll do it, I'll do it."
Du Minhui had just finished hauling in the net, and without even bothering to empty the fish from it, he threw it aside and rushed over to help.
Feng Ye turned around and asked, "Brother Wen, did you see what kind of fish it was?"
"I don't know, it hasn't surfaced yet."
Xiao Guowen answered without turning his head.
Du Minhui exclaimed in surprise as soon as she picked it up: "It's really heavy, it must weigh 150 or 160 pounds."
"A school of fish? You caught a school of fish in the net?"
"It should be."
A moment later, Du Minhui exclaimed with delight, "It's red, it looks like sea bream. We've struck it rich, this whole net is full of sea bream!"
Upon hearing this, the others turned to look at Xiao Guowen and Du Minhui, still talking amongst themselves.
"A red sea bream? That must be a red sea bream?"
"Of course! Besides the red sea bream, I can't think of any other sea bream that is red."
"Quickly pull it up and take a look."
Everyone wanted to go and take a look, but they couldn't stop what they were doing.
They have to be caught quickly while the fish are still eagerly jumping to the surface.
Opportunities are fleeting; we can't let this chance to make money slip by and go watch the show.
However, while everyone is fishing, it's okay to turn around and see what kind of fish others have caught.
All five people were standing on the foredeck, with Feng Ye at the bow and the other four on either side, two people on each side.
This way, there will be enough space when casting the net, and it won't disturb others.
Soon, Xiao Guowen and Du Minhui worked together to pull a large bag of fish up and slammed it onto the deck, skimming the side of the boat.
The fish inside the net were still struggling and thrashing about violently.
All eyes turned to that direction once again.
Sure enough, it was a net full of bright red fish.
However, Du Minhui said with some disappointment, "It turns out to be a red fish. I thought it was a red snapper."
Red sea bream is also known as red snapper or red snapper.
The red fish is the red snapper, also known as the redfin snapper, red-finned snapper, red chicken, or red chicken fry.
Although it contains the word "sea bream," strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a sea bream.
Red snapper is a species of fish belonging to the family genus *Syngonus* in the order Perciformes. It has an elongated oval body that is slightly laterally compressed.
The body is bright red, with a slightly lighter belly, and the edges of the dorsal, dermal, and caudal fins have black borders of varying widths. The red snapper is closely related to the red snapper and the rock bream.
However, compared to the high prices of most of its close relatives, the red snapper is far too cheap.
This is also why Du Minhui was disappointed, as it was about one-third cheaper than red sea bream.
"The red snapper is pretty good too. This net must have yielded over 100 jin of red snapper. It should sell for 100 or 200 yuan."
"Yeah, it's still better than us catching small fry."
"You've caught a school of fish. Quickly cast the net again and see if the fish are still there."
"Yes, yes, hurry up and untangle the fish..."
Xiao Guowen and Du Minhui hurriedly untied the net, dumped the cargo onto the deck, tidied up the fishing net, and cast it out again.
