Chapter 41 Tangent



Niutou Island is not big, only about a thousand square meters in size.

"Everyone can find a fishing spot by their own. We are the only ones here these two days. Lao Yang, Lao Zhou and the others are not coming," Captain Lao Sun shouted to everyone.

"Oh, by the way, I see some people forgot to bring food or drinks. I have everything here. Mineral water and soft drinks are all ten yuan a bottle, instant noodles are fifteen yuan a bag, and large rolls of toilet paper are twenty-one. It's a special discount. If you need anything, you can come to me."

Yu Shengnan was listening to this and was screaming in her heart, that fat guy Wang Fubao hadn't mentioned this before. He only said that there was food and drink on the boat, and didn't mention it was so dark.

Later he found out that Fatty Wang owned half of Old Sun's boat and they shared the profits. It would be strange if he could tell you.

In the past, when she went out, she would only bring fishing gear, bait, ice, and her own clothes. She paid attention to sun protection and staying warm. She hadn't prepared anything for food or drink.

Of course, he was not the only unlucky guy this time. The bespectacled guy next to him also had a miserable look on his face. It went without saying that he didn't bring anything with him either.

It was just a small amount of money, and she could make it all back if she caught a big fish. Comforting herself, Yu Shengnan didn't waste any more time and went straight to find a fishing spot.

When Yu Shengnan walked around the island, he suddenly felt that this trip was not bad.

The reason is that he really found three good fishing spots, and the island is high in the middle and low in the other. When you fish here, as long as you don’t see anyone nearby, others won’t be able to see you fishing.

Of course, with all these people, the fish they caught would eventually be put on the boat together, so you couldn't deceive people whether you had the fish or not. But this gave Yu Shengnan an idea.

"It should be okay if I take the boat by myself and go out alone to find an uninhabited island nearby to fish," the more Yu Shengnan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

He has a plug-in for fishing rod projection, but this plug-in seems not very powerful and can only see within five meters. If he really goes out to sea to fish, he basically has no buff, because fish in the sea rarely swim to the upper water layer, especially big fish generally eat deeper water.

Now there are many fishing rod projections at this fishing spot, and there are some reefs here and the water is very shallow.

This time when she went out to sea, Yu Shengnan brought a full range of baits, including Antarctic shrimps and small fish. They grew very well. She used Antarctic shrimps for small fish and small fish for big fish.

After testing the waters with a small Antarctic shrimp, Yu Shengnan set up the bait and cast it into the water. The line set for this Alpha rod was similar to his previous fishing trips, both for bottom fishing.

His position was fine. To his right was a bespectacled fellow who was also on board for the first time. There was no one on his left. It seemed that Old Sun and the other two were facing away from him.

I took out my cell phone, but there was no signal. The boat had been sailing for over an hour, and it seemed like we were more than ten or even twenty nautical miles away from the shore.

Just as he was daydreaming, the fishing rod suddenly sank down. Fortunately, his reflex arc of catching fish was still there. As the rod pressed his hand, he suddenly exerted force on his arm and pulled up a conger eel.

This is a tiger eel, scientifically known as the Javan naked eel. It usually lives between one and fifty meters underwater. It is very ferocious and usually hides in coral reef caves or rock crevices. This fish has a keen sense of smell but poor vision (that is, its nose works well but its eyes do not, you can imagine it as a blind dog).

When Yu Shengnan recognized the fish, she quickly took the fishing rod in her left hand and the fish control clip next to it with her right hand. This fish is a carnivorous fish that feeds on small fish. If it bites you carelessly, you will definitely bleed a lot of money.

Yu Shengnan was a little happy after catching a fish, because this fish seemed to be not cheap. The market price was generally between 70 or 80 to over 100 yuan per catty. This fish weighed more than 2 catties, which meant she could earn 150 to 300 yuan. Well, the money she would have used to buy water and instant noodles later would be recovered in no time.

Put the fish in a bucket of water. The sea water is so vibrant that it won't die if it soaks in it for two days.

"Is this fish delicious... Oh, why not try it?" Yu Shengnan couldn't help but think of what she was thinking and thought about giving it another try.

This was his first time catching a tiger eel, so it should taste good if he cooked it for the first time, right?

Never mind, keep fishing.

The fishing spot chosen by Yu Shengnan should have some rocks exposed when the tide goes out. Because the water has now flooded over the rocks, it is not suitable to park the boat here, so Lao Sun did not park the boat here.

It was precisely because the water was shallow that Yu Shengnan had room to perform. He could make the most of his external hooks and see the fish situation underwater, so he was in a really good situation this morning.

In two hours, he caught two eels weighing a total of seven or eight kilograms, and six stonefish weighing a total of three or four kilograms. Seeing that there were only two projections underwater, Yu Shengnan was about to put away his fishing rod and take a rest when he caught another fish.

But this time, when he lifted the rod, it sank suddenly, and then suddenly the rod became lighter, the line was thrown up, and the hook was gone. This was the first time that Yu Shengnan had his line cut since he started fishing.

This made Yu Shengnan depressed. He brought a spare line set and fish hooks, but he didn't know how to tie them. Although he had learned many times at home, he still couldn't do it.

He looked around and could only force a smile and come over to ask for advice.

Siyanzai seems to be doing well today. There is a red snapper weighing over ten pounds in the bucket, and two yellow-legged fish weighing two or three pounds. He must have enough money to buy food and drinks.

Buddy, please help me, my line is cut, can you teach me how to tie a fish hook?

Four Eyes was stunned at first, then he smiled and said, "I just learned how to tie a hook from an online video yesterday, so this is a good opportunity for me to practice."

Yu Shengnan was shocked by Siyanzai's words. Is this guy any good? But since he had already asked for advice, it wouldn't be appropriate to change him. She could only bite the bullet and go ahead. After all, the line group had a lot of support.

Look, this is the simplest hook tying method I learned from the Internet:

Step 1: Fold the sub-line in half, align the hook handle toward the end of the line, and slightly tighten the long line end.

Step 2: Pinch the short line and wrap it around the hook handle for more than 10 times. Make sure the last circle passes between the long line and the hook handle.

Step 3: Use your right hand to pinch the thread end, pass it through the coil below, tighten the long line and stretch it to reinforce it.

Finally, adjust the sub-line above the hook handle to prevent wear.

Although Siyanzai said that he had just learned it yesterday, his technique was indeed not bad at all. Looking at Yu Shengnan, he felt that she was being modest.

Out of courtesy, I also added the other party as a friend and expressed my desire to discuss more fishing knowledge in the future.

The bespectacled guy is called Huang Jiaqiang, a Hong Kong native, and has the same name as a former band member of the famous Beyond band. He enthusiastically talked about his experience of coming to Shenzhen and how he has now settled here, with a tone full of pride.

Now the sun was out and the fish were not biting well, so the two of them stopped fishing and just chatted. However, as they were chatting, their stomachs started to growl at the same time. Neither of them had brought any food, so they smiled at each other and went over to buy some food and drinks together.
