Qingshui Town is not far from Baisha Village; it only takes half an hour to drive there.
As soon as Chen Zhiyao got out of the car, she saw two huge signs by the roadside. The older one read "Zhao Yang Aquatic Products Farm".
The other one, which looked newer, was labeled "Zhao Yang's Fishing Ground".
It seems the owner here is named Zhao Yang.
Because the fishing was half price during the trial operation period, when Chen Zhiyao and her two companions arrived, there were already quite a few people fishing at the fishing pond.
Moreover, almost everyone is crowded in the large pool, while the small sea wolf pool is basically ignored.
Chen Weiqiang glanced over and saw many familiar faces, mostly from the fishing group.
Chen Zhiyao noticed a small poster prominently displayed on the wall behind the cashier, outlining some of the fishing pond's rules:
Zhao Yang Fishing Ground welcomes all anglers.
This fishing spot charges 400 yuan for 4 hours. The barracuda pool and the giant fish pool can be used simultaneously. It is open 24 hours a day.
All fish catches are subject to a buy-back policy. Large fish weighing over 30 jin (15 catties) are bought back for 300 yuan each, while fish under 30 jin (15 catties) are bought back for 6 yuan per jin.
Friendly reminder: One person, one rod. Barbed hooks, additives, and lure rods are prohibited in this fishing area.
When they went to pay, the receptionist reminded them again:
"The usage time is 4 hours, one person per rod, and the use of barbed hooks, additives and lure fishing rods is prohibited."
Chen Zhiyao had only been fishing for a month. She understood that she only needed one rod per person, but she was completely confused by the other prohibited fishing methods.
Seeing his daughter's puzzled expression, Chen Weiqiang explained it to her in detail:
"Barbed hooks are more damaging to fish, and fishing grounds that force fish to return to shore naturally cannot use them."
"Additives are a high-tech trick, and lure rods use fake bait, which is also a high-tech trick, similar to additives, and equally bad for the fish in the fishing pond."
At this moment, Grandpa Chen, who was behind the father and daughter, stepped closer and whispered in their ears:
"This boss owns a fish farm. I bet that apart from those few giant carp, the other fish caught in the farm will probably be sold directly."
"This boss is really smart." Chen Weiqiang thought the boss was a talented person.
The grandfather, grandfather, and grandson chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Giant Pond, without even glancing at the Sea Wolf Pond beside it.
Most people who come here to fish have the same mentality: if there are 40-pound giants available, who would bother fishing for barracuda weighing less than 10 pounds?
The giant fish pond has 45 fishing spots, and at a glance, there are already at least 30 people there.
Seeing that there weren't many fishing spots, Chen Zhiyao quickly turned on her X-ray glasses and picked out a spot for Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang that looked like it had a lot of shadows.
She herself continued to wander around the fishing area.
The bottom of the pool was filled with large, dark clumps, which looked several times more numerous than the fish in the sea.
Seeing so many big creatures in the pool, Chen Zhiyao was very happy and felt that the 200 yuan was well spent.
After walking around, she finally found the largest dark shape.
It looks to weigh at least 40 kilograms, and it should be the star attraction of this fishing spot, a giant sea carp.
Big fish definitely need big hooks, so Chen Zhiyao switched to the thickest fishing line.
Then, from the small bucket at his feet, he picked out the largest, still lively shrimp.
She controlled the bait, casting it beside the huge, dark shape.
The shrimp on the hook seemed to sense the impending danger and trembled with fear.
Soon, the shrimp's subtle movements attracted the attention of the large, dark shadow beside it.
The giant carp swayed its tail slightly and swam slowly, preparing to eat.
Unexpectedly, a long fish darted out from the middle of the road and swallowed the shrimp whole.
Almost simultaneously, the fishing rod in Chen Zhiyao's hand suddenly sank, followed by a strong pulling force.
This fish was ferocious, swimming forward desperately, ignoring the pain from being pulled by the hook, and rampaging wildly at the bottom of the pool.
That strength and that size—it's at least a 20-pound giant sea wolf.
Chen Zhiyao hasn't been fishing much these past few days. The only fish she caught yesterday was a small stone goby weighing a little over two ounces.
This time she finally encountered a big one, and the stronger the fish was, the more excited she became.
This long-awaited intense tug-of-war made her blood boil, and her heart pounded wildly.
The big guy below was still swimming fast and recklessly, pulling the reel so hard it squeaked, and the fishing line shot out more than ten meters at once.
Chen Zhiyao quickly turned on her X-ray glasses for beachcombing, and with doubled strength, she was ready to fight this guy head-on.
Unexpectedly, a faint sound was heard.
"Smack!"
The fishing line suddenly snapped, and the fish below, like a kite with a broken string, darted away uncontrollably.
Chen Zhiyao fell backward and landed heavily on her bottom.
That faint sound just now seemed to be the sound of her heart breaking.
“######, this is the thickest fishing line I have, and it still got cut.”
At this moment, Chen Zhiyao finally understood why the boss kept so many sea wolves.
Although this guy is greedy and easy to catch, he is very strong and has extremely sharp teeth. If you're not careful, he can cut the line.
Although sea wolves are easy to hook, catching these fierce creatures is no easy feat.
Moreover, there are many fish in the pond, so even if she can cast the bait next to the big carp, other fish will come and snatch it.
However, apart from the depressed Chen Zhiyao, the other fishermen around were quite excited.
They were overjoyed when the line was cut, all believing that the one that had escaped was that 40-plus-pound behemoth.
At this moment, Chen Zhiyao realized that the fishing spots in the giant fish pool were full, and the people who came later went to the sea wolf pool.
She changed the hook, then casually cast the bait into the pond in front of her.
The pond was full of large fish weighing over ten kilograms each, so she felt there was no need to keep the X-ray glasses on and simply turned them off, focusing on fishing instead.
Less than two minutes after the fishing hook went into the water, she felt a tremendous pulling force in her hand.
It was even stronger than the previous 39-pound tuna.
Chen Zhiyao felt a violent pull she had never experienced before, and her face turned red with excitement, her palms sweating.
Suddenly, the fish flipped over, and a huge pulling force came, almost causing the fishing rod to slip from my hand and nearly drag me into the pond.
Chen Zhiyao exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, with that force, it must be a giant object weighing over 40 kilograms!"
As she spoke, she immediately turned on her X-ray vision glasses for beachcombing, doubled her strength, and prepared to fight this big guy head-on.
