Chen Weiqiang, like a joyful fish, glides across the boundless sea in his fishing boat.
And the fish in the ocean can be seen clearly with the help of fish finders.
During his time at sea with his daughter, Chen Weiqiang's standards have risen. He finds the fish too small and the number too few.
After circling the rocky island twice, I finally found a suitable fishing spot.
The sea in front of us is about 20 to 30 meters deep and contains a variety of rich marine plants.
Where there is food and a place to live, it will naturally attract many fish.
The fish finder revealed that there were many large fish on the seabed, as well as many small fish in the middle and upper layers.
While her father was searching for fish at sea, Chen Zhiyao had already prepared her fishing bait.
We guarantee that every single shrimp has been soaked in bait additive.
As soon as the fishing boat stopped, Yan Shuting and the others couldn't wait to take out their fishing rods.
Grandpa Chen was at the bow of the boat, while Chen Weiqiang and Yan Shuting stood on either side of him.
All three chose bottom fishing to catch big fish, so their hooks were full of whole shrimp.
As the three of them cast their bait into the water, Chen Zhiyao happened to be taking a stroll around the boat.
The fishing spot my dad chose is really good. There are eight or nine big fish on the seabed, the big ones weigh over 20 kilograms and the small ones weigh around 10 kilograms.
On the upper surface of the water, there were even more small fish, countless tiny black shadows, making her scalp tingle.
Chen Zhiyao felt there were a lot of people fishing today, and with those big fish, it seemed like each person wouldn't get many.
So she decided to try a different approach and use a net to catch the fish on the surface of the water.
If you catch a stone carving fish, it's worth more than a big fish.
Without further ado, Chen Zhiyao immediately grabbed the bait and headed to the stern of the boat.
She planned to cut the prawns into pieces and use them to create bait.
It's much faster to catch fish directly with a hand-cast net than to fish them one by one, right?
The fishing boat is 12.8 meters long, and the three elders were fishing at the bow. With the length of their fishing rods, it had long exceeded the effective range of the 10-meter bait companion.
This way, we don't have to worry about affecting their fishing in front.
Before baiting the area, she first cast a net down to see what fish would be there without baiting.
The fishing net spread out in mid-air and then fell rapidly into the sea.
When the net was lifted, Chen Zhiyao could clearly feel that the net had become much heavier.
There were quite a few fish caught in the net, but they weren't very big, and most of them were cheap mackerel.
After untying all the fish from the net, Chen Zhiyao counted them and found a total of 7 mackerel, 1 yellowtail amberjack, and 1 black sea bream.
The prices of yellowtail and black sea bream were good, so overall, this net of fish was a pretty good catch.
Seeing this, she cheerfully chopped up the two large shrimp and threw them into the sea in front of her to create a feeding area.
As soon as the fish fell into the water, other fish nearby rushed over to snatch it.
Standing on the boat, she could clearly see all kinds of fish leaping out of the water: red sea bream, mackerel, white pomfret, and even bluefin tuna.
Seeing more and more fish swimming over, Chen Zhiyao quickly threw out the hand net in her hand.
Using bait to create a feeding area definitely made a difference; this time the net was at least half again as heavy as before.
Nine mackerel, four white pomfret, two red sea bream, one turbot, and one bluefin tuna.
After tidying up the hand-throwing net, Chen Zhiyao originally wanted to bait the area again.
When I turned on the X-ray glasses, I was surprised to find that the fish below hadn't dispersed yet; they were all densely packed with tiny black shadows.
So she stopped baiting the area and simply threw the hand net back to the same spot.
The haul was also quite good, with a total of 8 mackerel, 2 black sea bream, 4 yellowtail amberjack and 1 golden pomfret.
At this point, there weren't many sea fish left on the surface, so Chen Zhiyao cut two more large shrimp and used them to create bait.
The third net was mostly filled with yellow croaker, more than 20 of them, and the net was pulled up to reveal a golden expanse.
The fourth net yielded a small number of fish, but they were mostly expensive ones.
There were a total of 2 bluefin tuna, 3 black sea bream, 3 red sea bream, and 2 yellow croaker. Chen Zhiyao couldn't stop smiling as she unwrapped the catch.
The fifth net was teeming with mackerel, weighing at least 20 kilograms.
...
While the three people at the bow of the boat were still playing with the fish, she, fishing at the stern, had already had a bumper catch.
The number of fish in the sea is also limited. After 20 minutes, the small fish on the surface of the water had become sparse.
On the last haul, only a few mackerel, a yellow croaker, and a golden pomfret were caught in the net.
Although the fish caught with the net were mostly small fish, there were quite a few of them.
A whole bucket full of mackerel, plus all sorts of other sea fish, making it just as good as catching big fish.
With all the fish on the surface of the water caught, Chen Zhiyao beamed and took out her upgraded lucky fishing rod.
She also chose bottom fishing this time, because fishing is more fun when you catch big fish.
Over at the bow of the boat, everyone caught a big fish weighing over ten kilograms, and just now, it seemed like another big one had taken the bait.
Chen Zhiyao, who was at the stern of the boat, could hear bursts of laughter coming from the front.
Although bait companions and lucky livers can attract fish from the vicinity, the speed at which they attract fish is ultimately not as fast as the speed at which several people are fishing.
At this point, there weren't many large fish left in the sea, so Chen Zhiyao chose a big one that looked somewhat like a ray.
The bait quickly followed the sinker and landed near a large, dark shadow not far from her.
Before long, she saw the fish in the water start to move, slowly approaching the bait.
Two minutes later, Chen Zhiyao's fishing rod suddenly pulled with a strong force.
"He's really strong. He must weigh at least 20 pounds, if not 30."
Chen Zhiyao turned off her X-ray glasses and then excitedly started playing with the fish.
She wanted to play with the fish, but they weren't cooperating at all.
The big guy below just keeps pulling back and doesn't move at all.
After tugging at it a few times, Chen Zhiyao muttered with certainty, "Looks like it's either a manta ray or a croaker."
Unlike other sea fish that dart around, this fish saves a lot of time when playing it.
Ten minutes later, she pulled a dark brown, spotted ray out of the water.
"Why does this jujube fish look so strange?"
Chen Zhiyao examined the large object on the water carefully and finally realized what was wrong.
This is indeed a ray, but it's a double-finned electric ray.
Electric rays, as the name suggests, can emit high-voltage current. Chen Zhiyao was afraid of being shocked, so she dared not touch the double-finned electric ray directly, and she didn't dare to reel in the remaining fishing line.
Immediately afterwards, she turned and shouted loudly towards the bow of the ship:
"Dad, Dad, I caught a double-finned electric smelt! Come quick and help me smash it with a hammer."
Once the fish dies, it will naturally stop electrocuting people.
Hearing his daughter's voice, Chen Weiqiang quickly put down his fishing rod and replied:
"Hey, it's here! This fish can generate electricity, so don't touch it. Wait for me to come and deal with it."
