Wu An took a moment to check the luck value of his fishing rod.
Standard sea fishing rod: (+2)
Description: This is an ordinary sea fishing rod. With a bit of luck, you are guaranteed to catch fish weighing less than 20 pounds in areas where fish are plentiful.
Since I haven't caught any particularly valuable sea fish, my luck stat hasn't dropped much. At this rate, I can probably fish for another twenty minutes or so.
That's about it.
You can fish whether the tide is high or low. Sometimes, the fish are biting better during high tide than during low tide.
I was just too tired.
At first, the fishing posture was to hold the fishing rod with one hand and put the other hand in the pocket. Now, he still holds the fishing rod with both hands, and his arms have started to tremble.
Fishing is more tiring than beachcombing.
Because when you're tired from beachcombing, you can take your time catching seafood, but you can't do that with fishing. When a fish comes, you have to pull it up, and once you do, you can't help but want to cast your line again.
Fortunately, as luck level drops, the rate at which fish are caught also begins to slow down.
Aqing took a moment to wipe the sweat from her face, glanced at the old man sitting on the stool next to her, and said enviously, "Brother, he's so leisurely."
The old man next door is completely numb.
etc.
What do you mean by that envious tone?
Are you being sarcastic?
Wu An coughed and said, "Don't misunderstand, he's just a straightforward person, he really admires you."
The old man felt much better and laughed heartily: "Young man, your fish catch is amazing!"
Wu An said modestly, "I was just a little lucky."
"The fish aren't biting as well now."
He was being modest, but the old man didn't hear it that way.
Is this fish not biting well?
I don't have any fish bites here.
Actually, it's normal not to have any bites for half an hour, but he was quite frustrated compared to the two young men next to him who were catching fish one after another.
Wu An realized that what he said sounded a bit Versailles-like, so he quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Maybe it's because of the newbie aura."
"May I ask your name?"
"My name is Wu An."
The old man didn't mind. Even if the other person was showing off on purpose, who could blame them for having the right to show off? He had that much magnanimity. He said, "Just call me Old Mai."
“Young man, your fishing reel's drag isn't quite right. If you catch a big fish, the fishing line will break. You need to adjust it.”
Taking advantage of the fact that he hadn't caught any fish, Wu An quickly asked for advice: "Please give me some pointers."
Old Mai was a kind-hearted man. He went over and helped Wu An and A Qing adjust their positions, saying, "This needs to be adjusted as needed."
"Its main function is to protect the main storyline."
"You'll learn how to operate it after a while."
Wu An and A Qing quickly thanked them, and then, at the same time, they both hooked a fish and simultaneously raised their rods. The big fish thrashed left and right in the sea, pulling the rod tips wildly.
Old Mai quickly shouted, "You guys lifted the rod a bit too early. It hasn't even come off the hook yet, which means it's in the mouth. Next time, maybe wait until the line is being pulled before lifting the rod."
"Ah An, quickly pull to the right, don't let the line get tangled."
"Also be careful of fish diving into the rocks below, as this can easily cut the line."
Wu An nodded, adjusted the direction of the fishing rod, and began to let out line with a squeaking sound from the fishing reel in his hand.
Not long after.
The fish was pulled to the surface of the sea, and when the light shone on it, it was revealed to be a red snapper.
Old Mai suddenly remembered his fishing rod, turned around sharply, and saw that the fishing rod was sitting there steadily, as stable as a rock!
It's not even worth a second glance!
Old Mai was disgusted, and after Wu An pulled the fish up, he went back to sit down.
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!
Aqing also pulled up a red snapper. It looked like a school of red snapper were foraging for food below. Aqing rubbed his sore arm and said, "Brother, this fish is really strong."
"I'm exhausted from pulling."
Is this fish expensive?
"It should be alright." Wu An coughed, glanced at Old Mai not far away, and said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, don't provoke Old Mai anymore."
Ah Qing immediately lowered her voice: "Brother, he was just unlucky."
Wu An thought for a moment and called out, "Old Mai, you might not have a mouth over there, why don't you come over here?"
"This reef is big enough; there's plenty of room for the three of us to stand on."
Old Mai had just given him and Ah Qing a lot of helpful pointers. Besides, this rocky beach is public, and anyone can come and fish.
Moreover, the reason he and Aqing were able to catch fish one after another was because of their fishing rods. Old Mai's arrival wouldn't have any impact on them. In fact, Old Mai might even catch more fish by taking advantage of their success.
There's no need to be so stingy and miserly.
"How could I possibly accept that?" Old Mai said, but quickly packed up his things and then hurriedly came over and sat down about three meters away.
"Thank you, young friends," Old Mai said. "At this distance, our fishing lines won't get tangled."
Wu An nodded.
Look.
That's what you call professional.
Without having time to say much, he and Aqing caught fish one after another.
Old Mai watched with envy, quickly packed up his gear, cast his line and baited it. Before long, he felt a fish bite. Old Mai's face lit up with joy, but he didn't make any rash moves.
Only when he felt the fishing line tighten did he immediately raise the fishing rod and stand up at the same time, causing the rod tip to bend instantly.
Broken turtle!
The joy of catching a fish made Old Mai laugh out loud.
soon.
He pulled the fish to the surface of the sea, and when he shone his headlamp on it, he saw that it was a sea bass. It was easy to pull up, and it wasn't very big, probably only about a pound.
Old Mai tossed the fish into the fish basket and quickly cast his line.
After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, I caught another fish.
Old Mai, while reeling in the fish, remarked, "The fish here are really biting well."
Ah Qing was busy pulling the fish and didn't have time to talk.
Wu An, who hadn't caught any fish yet, said, "Yes."
It seems he guessed correctly; the fishing rod with the added luck value has the effect of attracting fish.
certainly.
Fishing rods without the luck bonus are significantly slower at catching fish.
At this moment.
He felt a fish bite, and as Lao Mai had advised, he didn't immediately set the hook. Instead, he waited until the fishing line was taut before finally setting the hook.
middle!
My arm was very sore, but at the moment the fish was hooked, it seemed to feel much better.
"Squeak squeak squeak".
The reel made a sound as it continuously produced line.
Wu An's spirits lifted; the fish he'd caught this time must be quite large.
But when Wu An shone his headlamp on the fish, he found that it wasn't quite what he expected. The fish didn't seem to be very big. He quickly reeled in the line and pulled hard, and the fish flew onto the reef, landing not far from Old Mai.
Old Mai instinctively turned his head and looked, and his eyes widened in surprise!
He set up his fishing rod, quickly ran over, grabbed the fish Wu Anfei had caught with pliers, lifted it up, examined it carefully, and shouted, "It's a three-knife fish!"
"Hey handsome, you actually caught a three-knife fish!"
Three-knife fish?
Isn't that Old Mike's target fish?
Wu An quickly came over to take a look.
The fish has an oval, laterally compressed body, a curved head, and thick, pointed lips. Its silvery-white body is covered with many narrow, orange-yellow diagonal stripes, making it very beautiful.
No wonder it costs seven or eight hundred yuan per pound.
Perhaps only the "Golden Legend" croaker can rival it.
