As the time approached 2:30, Chen Zhiyao finally felt a slight pull on her fishing rod.
The force was so light; it looked like a small fish weighing only a pound or two.
However, for Chen Zhiyao, who had been sitting there for almost an hour, it was even more exciting than the big fish she had caught before.
Even though the little creature in the sea was small, she couldn't resist taking it for a while because she was itching to touch it.
After dawdling for several minutes while reeling in the fish, Chen Zhiyao, feeling refreshed, pulled a bright green wrasse from the sea.
Blue wrasse
Although this bluefish weighed just over a pound, it was enough to make the father and son, who hadn't made a move, envious.
Amidst the envious gazes of the two, Chen Zhiyao quickly reworked the fishing hook.
After turning on her X-ray glasses, Chen Zhiyao was choosing the next lucky person.
Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I saw a small group of dark figures swimming happily towards me from directly in front of me.
These little guys are in the upper waters, so if we set a net, we could catch them all.
Although all the nets had been put into the sea this morning, there were still two hand-thrown nets on the boat.
Without saying a word, Chen Zhiyao hurriedly ran back to the cabin and took out both nets.
She took one for herself and gave the other to the stronger Chen Weiqiang.
Completely bewildered, Chen Weiqiang stared blankly at the net in his hand, still somewhat confused.
"What are you doing?"
“I just saw several bluefin wrasses jump out of the water. If we cast the net now, we’ll definitely be able to catch them.”
As she spoke, Chen Zhiyao threw the net in her hand towards the location of the dark figure.
When she lifted the net, she felt the weight increase significantly.
Sure enough, she soon saw several bluefin bream and a rather large striped pepper snapper in the net.
Seeing this, Chen Weiqiang quickly threw the hand net he was holding down where his daughter had just cast the net.
The haul was also quite good, with three bluefin bream and two spotted pepper bream.
Grandpa Chen was very annoyed to see that the father and daughter had a good catch. Why didn't he buy another hand-throwing net?
The father and daughter went online several times in a row, and each time they caught something.
Presumably sensing that their companions were dwindling, the remaining fish quickly swam to the bottom of the sea.
Undeterred, Chen Zhiyao cast the net twice more, but seeing that there were no fish left, the father and daughter finally brought it back.
The fish we encountered this time, although not as many as the stonefish we saw this morning, were mostly higher-priced blue wrasse and striped pepper snapper.
After cleaning up the fish they had just caught, the grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter carried them to be weighed with beaming smiles.
There were 33 jin of bluefin tuna and 12 jin of striped pepper snapper.
I encountered a large group of rock bream as soon as I went out this morning, and I also collected a lot of sea snails and a lot of big crabs on the island.
Now that they've caught so many bluefin tuna and striped pepper snapper, the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson are overjoyed and a little carried away.
Thinking about how he could earn at least tens of thousands of yuan from this trip to sea, Grandpa Chen couldn't help but slap his thigh and laugh heartily:
"It was a good purchase to buy this new fishing boat."
Chen Weiqiang was also very happy. He now goes out to sea to fish and gather seafood every day, earning two salaries, which doubles his previous income.
The small shop doesn't earn much money in a day, and Chen Weiqiang is even considering whether to bring his wife along to go to sea with him.
If all else fails, just like a fishing tackle shop, you can hire someone to help watch the shop.
Thinking about how his wife had recently made a lot of money fishing, Chen Weiqiang felt that this idea was pretty good.
"I'll go back and discuss it with Tangtang's mother."
Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Zhiyao turned around and went into the driver's seat, steering the fishing boat to the spot where she had set the nets that morning.
As the fishing net was pulled up by the crane, the smiles on the three men's faces became even brighter.
There were quite a few fish hanging on the two nets, a sea of white, mostly white pomfret.
Chen Zhiyao's lips curled into a wide smile. She was lucky to have encountered another small school of fish.
However, compared to using nets, the harvest from crab traps is generally less than ideal.
The dozen or so crab traps yielded only seven or eight pounds of crabs and a few pounds of octopus.
As for the fish traps produced by the system, they continued to perform reliably. A total of four bass, five barracuda, three wrasse, and four conger eels were caught.
Moreover, they are all quite large, each weighing over 6 pounds.
As for ordinary fish traps, the harvest was also quite good, with a considerable number of white pomfret.
The three members of the family, grandfather, grandson, and son, returned home with a full load from their new ship's voyage.
When she got back, Chen Zhiyao finally had time to take out her phone to check her messages.
As soon as I opened WeChat, I saw several hundred unread messages in two phishing groups.
The phone even lagged for a while when I opened it because there was so much information.
After clicking on it, Chen Zhizhi realized that her cousin and his friends had encountered a large yellow croaker that day.
Several people caught large yellow croakers weighing three or four pounds, which were much bigger than the two they had found before.
Looking at the golden yellow croaker in the group chat, which exuded an aura of wealth, Chen Zhiyao was very envious, as she had never caught a yellow croaker before.
Looking at the messages in the group chat, she knew that her older cousin and the others hadn't gone to the open ocean today, but instead went to a remote area of the sea more than an hour away from Dolphin Island.
It only takes about three hours to get there from the village, so Chen Zhi immediately decided that they would go there to fish for big yellow croaker tomorrow.
Chen Weiqiang and his grandfather naturally wouldn't refuse, after all, it was a large yellow croaker worth several hundred yuan per kilogram.
In the Chen family group chat, Chen Zhiyao asked her older cousin what bait they used to catch big yellow croakers today.
Knowing that they were also going to fish for large yellow croaker the next day, Chen Feng even told his little cousin the exact location where they encountered the school of fish.
Just then, Chen Feng and his group finished their fight and returned. Chen Zhiyao was chatting in the group chat when she unknowingly returned to the town's dock.
As before, Yang Jiajun was already waiting at the dock in his car.
Knowing that Chen Zhiyao had encountered a school of fish, he specially drove a large vehicle over.
Red sea bream: 142 jin (71 catties), 65 yuan per jin (0.5 kg), total 9230 yuan. Black sea bream: 116 jin (53 catties), 66 yuan per jin (0.5 kg), total 7656 yuan.
Peppered snapper, 56 jin, 95 yuan per jin, total 5320 yuan. Striped peppered snapper, 12 jin, 98 yuan per jin, total 1176 yuan.
33 catties of bluefin bream, 78 yuan per catty, totaling 2574 yuan. 230 catties of white pomfret, 26 yuan per catty, totaling 5380 yuan.
The three men and their grandson made a fortune from just the three groups of fish they encountered today.
In addition, the harvest from the fish traps and crab traps brought in another 3,285 yuan.
In total, we earned [amount] yuan from fishing today, which is divided equally among everyone.
Next, the three of them shared their catch from their beachcombing trips.
Grandpa Chen received 1880 yuan, and Chen Weiqiang received 1720 yuan.
Thanks to the X-ray glasses, Chen Zhiyao had a whopping 3,890 dollars, more than the father and son combined.
Today's voyage earned all three of them over ten thousand yuan. When the grandfather and grandson left the house, they felt as if their steps were light as a feather.
When Chen Zhiyao arrived at the dock, she saw that the sunset on the horizon was fiery red, just like the burning passion in her heart.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, even though it's nearing dusk.
