little fisherman catching the sea

Chapter 26 Fishing
The small sampan set sail with a rumble, and dozens of eel cages were piled up on board.

There is a relatively open water area at the east end of the village, and it is also a relatively calm place. This is also the place where Zhang Liye prefers to catch moray eels.

The speed of the boat was not fast, so Zhang Miao could just sit on the bow and quietly watch the sea surface. It seemed that he wanted to see the movement under the sea surface through the slightly turbid sea water, and he wanted to see the seafood in the sea.

There was no movement for the time being, but Zhang Miao suddenly asked, "Dad, why is there a hole here?"

Sailing all the way, the seabed is actually relatively flat.But all of a sudden, Zhang Miao couldn't see the bottom of the sea clearly. There was a big black hole, which should be like this.

Zhang Liye said calmly, "Someone used to dig sea sand here. It's been many years. You may not remember this incident."

Zhang Miao really doesn't remember this incident, Haisha once guaranteed the price.Legal and illegal, sand mining was once very prosperous.Not to mention sea sand, river sand was also very popular a few years ago.

Zhang Miao, who nodded slightly, didn't say much, and it was really not his turn to say anything about such things.

Although he couldn't see the condition of the seabed, Zhang Miao was still paying attention to the surface of the sea, and still wanted to see something here.Since God gave him insight, of course he should make good use of it!
Suddenly, Zhang Miao became excited, "Dad, get off the net here!"

Zhang Liye froze for a moment, then asked with a smile, "What did you see? Did you see fish or shrimp!"

The body is oblong, flat and thick, and the spines and rays of the fins are connected. This is a grouper!
Although it is only about forty centimeters long by visual inspection, it is not too big among groupers.But Zhang Miao is extremely suspicious that this is the red-spotted grouper known as the "sea chicken fish", which belongs to the grouper with a high price.

Zhang Miao was a little excited, and quickly said, "Dad, I just saw a grouper swimming past. It looks like a red spot, and it looks like a catty or two."

Zhang Liye hurried to the bow of the boat, but what he saw at first glance was the muddy water, and he couldn't see any other movement at all.

"Call your mother and ask her to bring the pole." Zhang Liye made a decision and said, "It's not good to cast a net here. Let's go and put the cage down first, and then go fishing."

Zhang Miao didn't think there was anything wrong with such an arrangement.Now we still have to do a good job of replenishing eels. As for this grouper, of course we have to fight for it, but we can also do it in another way.

Sea fishing is a hobby for some people, and a living for others.Fishing is obviously not just about casting nets and lowering cages. Fishing is also a bottom-of-the-box skill that they have to use occasionally.

Let's go on, this time we went to sea to catch moray eels, and let this grouper stay here for the time being, and it's not worth mobilizing people and fanfare for it at the moment.

The main thing is not to disrupt the work plan, and whether this grouper can be caught is actually hard to say.

Zhang Miao sat on the boat, continued to observe the sea, and continued to look for possible fishing spots.

Zhang Liye didn't say much, he was also used to some 'abnormalities' of his son.For example, about the grouper, how did you see the fish swimming in the sea?
They didn't swim out of the water, so they can't be seen normally.It can only be said that my son was lucky enough to see the fish, and maybe his eyesight was really good, so he was able to see some clues and traces of fish and shrimp.

When they arrived at the fishing point, the father and son began to put down the eel cage tacitly.

Zhang Miao did not see moray eels, because moray eels normally inhabit the deep seabed and are bottom fish.As long as they are not idle and 'shopping', it is not easy for Zhang Miao to see them, as his eyesight is not that good.

Put the eel cage into the sea smoothly, fasten the buoy, and wait patiently.It is also a routine routine to come back to collect the net after two or three days. Patiently waiting is also the mentality that fishermen should have.

Zhao Ling has already come to the shore with a big bag of tools and is waiting. There are quite a lot of fishing rods at home.

Apart from the fact that Zhang Liye prefers fishing, it's mainly because it's also for making money.As for the types of fishing rods, there are not so many. They are just the most common hand rods, ordinary rocky fishing rods and throwing rods.

Boat fishing rods, long-range casting rods and the like are not used, which is a bit exaggerated.

Zhao Ling boarded the boat and immediately asked, "I saw some big guy, I'm not going to cast crab nets anymore, I'm going to go fishing!"

"Grouper, your son said he saw a red spot." Zhang Liye laughed and said to Zhao Ling, "We're here to fish. It's the same pit we were digging in the sea sand."

Zhao Ling nodded, and said a little angrily, "A red spot is fine, of course it's good if you catch it. If you can't catch it, don't blame me for taking care of you. I really don't like fishing, and I don't have much patience."

Zhang Liye also laughed and said, "I'll tie the line for you later, you are at the bow and I am at the stern."

As for Zhang Miao, he has already started to get busy at this time, tying hooks, fastening floats, etc., these are all difficult for him.Although he is not an expert at fishing, Zhang Miao does know how to fish.At most, the current fishing gear is becoming more and more professional, so fishing is becoming more and more interesting.

Zhang Liye tied the bait and asked directly, "Can you see where the fish is?"

"If I see it, I'll just hook it." Zhang Miao was testing the depth of the water, and said casually, "But I think I can find a rock when I have nothing to do in the future, and I can fish too!"

This is what Zhang Miao said in his heart, and he really feels that he can fish, and this is also a way out.

For those fishing masters, they have excellent experience and fishing skills, and can find suitable fishing spots.But fishermen are also used to seeing a lot of strange creatures when they can't catch fish, or they bring a lot of professional equipment every time, but they end up returning in the air force.

Zhang Miao can fish, mainly because he can find places with fish and put down his rod.Now it is said that some people are fishing, not to cultivate their sentiments, but to play with high technology, for example, there are cameras underwater, which is simply cheating.

Now Zhang Miao can also cheat. For example, he can find a suitable fishing spot and know whether there are fish there.Others may see only water at a glance, or they can only judge whether there are fish by experience.

Fishing, it is still more important to fish well now, this is also an experiment, it is really worth trying.

There are still some small waves, but there is no big problem.A family of three is fishing seriously, chatting occasionally.

Suddenly the float sank, Zhang Miao immediately raised the pole.

A mackerel was hooked, but Zhang Miao didn't care much about this trophy, it was a small harvest worth mentioning.

To continue fishing, a family of three should continue fishing. As for when the grouper will be able to take the bait, it seems that it depends on luck now.

When Zhao Ling picked up a Huang Zhan, she couldn't help doubting, "There are fish here, but the grouper you mentioned isn't there!"

Zhang Miao is full of confidence. He is very confident at this time, "There must be fish, there must be fish!"

"There are fish!" Zhang Liye said angrily, "They are all small miscellaneous fish, and it is really useless to catch these fish."

This is also true. At present, there are really no valuable fish.Let’s continue to wait patiently. Naturally, you need to have enough patience when fishing. This is also the quality that a fisherman should have.

For the grouper, now it seems that we can only continue to wait.

Just treat it as fishing, and at any rate, there are some small gains, it's not that there are no fish biting the hook all the time.Even if it's just some small miscellaneous fish, there are fish taking the bait anyway, which can be regarded as a little psychological comfort.
