The group fished all morning, only stopping when lunch was ready.
After lunch, Qin Aijun offered cigarettes to everyone, and then lit one for himself.
Feng Ye looked at the cigarette and recognized it as Hua Zi, but he didn't know which type of Hua Zi it was.
He lit a cigarette and took a drag: "Everyone, don't go fishing this afternoon. Get a good night's sleep, recharge your energy, and catch some big fish tonight."
The group of people were immediately taken aback upon hearing this.
After regaining his senses, Qin Aijun asked, "Aren't there any big catches this afternoon? Why do we have to fish at night?"
"It's not that there aren't any, but the best time of day to fish is early morning and late evening. Besides, it's still boat time now, so if you want to fish, you can only use trolling. Without a dedicated trolling rod, you can only catch shallow-water fish, while most of the big fish are in the middle and bottom layers."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll take a nap this afternoon and then go all out tonight. Fishing for small fish is really boring."
Yang Chenghua was the first to nod in agreement.
He spent the whole morning trolling but didn't catch a single big fish. The only relatively large one he caught weighed less than ten pounds, which made him very frustrated.
The others had no objections and all said they would go to sleep after finishing their cigarettes.
Every inch has its advantages, and every foot has its disadvantages.
They understand this basic principle.
A little while later, the cigarettes burned out, and after taking the last puff, everyone got up and went to their rooms to sleep.
...
When I woke up again, it was already evening.
The sun had already set, and the afterglow of the sunset had turned half the sky red, forming vast expanses of fiery clouds...
One moment it's bright red, the next it's golden yellow, then it's shimmering gold...
Standing on the aft deck, gazing at the beautiful scenery in the sky, I couldn't help but exclaim, "The sunset clouds today are truly stunning!"
"It's truly beautiful!"
"What's so great about it? It's not like I haven't seen it before. All I know is that if there's a sunset, tomorrow will definitely be a good day for fishing."
Qin Aijun and Yang Chenghe also woke up and went outside for some fresh air.
The first sentence was said by Qin Aijun, while the second sentence, which was quite jarring, was said by Yang Chenghe.
Qin Aijun retorted, "Old Yang, if you can't speak, then don't speak. Nobody will think you're mute."
Yang Chenghe said, "Am I wrong? Haven't you ever seen a sunset?"
Qin Aijun glanced at Yang Chenghu speechlessly, then turned away and ignored him.
"Xiao Feng, tell me, am I right?"
"Yes, you're right."
After Feng Ye finished speaking, he turned and left, heading to the driver's seat.
After talking with Yao He for a while, he felt a chill in his heart.
By this time, they had been at sea for more than ten hours, and judging by the speed of the yacht, they should have already arrived at Nanyou.
The route he assigned to Yaohe was later found to contain drilling platforms.
But Yao He said he didn't see any man-made buildings along the way.
"Are you sure the flight path is correct and hasn't deviated from the route I gave you?"
Feng Ye was still unwilling to give up.
"Of course I'm sure, there's no way I could veer off course while I'm sailing."
Yao He spoke with absolute certainty.
Feng Ye fell silent.
He had to accept the fact that the South Oilfield was not yet developed and there were no drilling platforms.
His plan to fish in Nanyou was thwarted.
He now has to think about a question: where is the best place to go fishing?
Without navigation and satellite positioning, he might not be able to find the fishing spots he knows.
Or should we just anchor here?
In any case, the current fishery resources are not overfished and are plentiful; there are fish everywhere.
Just as he was about to call for the boat to stop, he suddenly heard Yao He say, "Why are there so many seabirds up ahead?"
"Seabirds?"
Feng Ye was startled and looked up ahead.
Countless seabirds appeared in the sky, almost blotting out the sun; they were too numerous to count.
Yao He wasn't a fisherman, but he knew that where seabirds gathered, there were almost always schools of fish.
The situation beneath the surface is still unclear, but judging from the number of seabirds, the fish population in the sea must be quite large.
He was overjoyed, yet also extremely troubled.
This is a yacht; it has no fishing equipment.
Even if it really was a school of fish, he could only watch helplessly, unable to catch them.
"Brother Yao, we've probably encountered a school of fish. Let's drive over and take a look."
Even if he could only watch, he wanted to satisfy his curiosity and see the size of the school of fish.
"A school of fish? Okay."
Yao He was a little excited when he heard this.
As the yacht drew closer, more and more seabirds came into view, constantly swooping down towards the sea.
Feng Ye hurriedly left the cockpit, passed through the rest area on the next level, and ran towards the foredeck.
"Xiao Feng, where are you rushing off to?"
Qin Aiguo and his friends sat in the rest area chatting and drinking tea, waiting for dinner.
"I've encountered a school of fish, I'll go check it out."
Feng Ye didn't even turn his head, leaving behind a single sentence before running out.
"Yuanqun?"
The group exchanged glances, quickly got up, and followed.
Feng Ye went to the foredeck and carefully observed the sea ahead.
Although it's too far away to see clearly, it's certain that things are bustling with activity beneath the sea at this moment.
"Xiao Feng, where are the schools of fish?"
The group ran to the foredeck, and Qin Aiguo asked excitedly.
"Front."
Feng Ye pointed.
The group looked in the direction the finger was pointing, but couldn't see anything.
Yang Chenghe shouted, "Where are the fish? I didn't see any!"
The others were equally puzzled.
Feng Ye excitedly shouted, "Can't you see the endless expanse of seabirds ahead? Let me tell you, where my large flock of seabirds appears, there must be schools of fish."
