I rely on fishing to achieve freedom in life

Chapter 8 Discovering a Big School of Fish

After Chen Xinyue was shocked, she gradually came to her senses. When she heard that he wanted to buy a row hook, she nodded immediately.

"There are rows of hooks, all of which have been tied up. There are 500-meter main lines and 1000-meter ones. The 500-meter line has 250 hooks, and the 1000-meter line has [-] hooks. I don't know if you have any in terms of hook size. What's the request, or how many kilograms of fish do you plan to catch?"

Both of them grew up in fishing villages, so they were no strangers to hooks, but she still introduced them to Bailang in detail.

Bailang pondered for a moment and said: "I want the kind with 1000 hooks on the [-]-meter main line. I plan to hook fish in the range of three to ten kilograms. Please get me six pairs of hooks like this first."

He must have been placing fishing hooks in offshore areas recently. The number of big fish in this sea area is not particularly large, basically less than ten pounds, and he is not interested in small fish and shrimps, so he prepared a fishing line of this size. The hook is just right.

After hearing the request, Chen Xinyue nodded. Although her store is small, it is quite complete. There are row hooks of various sizes, and they are all ready-made.

Soon she had prepared the row of hooks Bailang wanted, one main thread and one basket, and all five hundred hooks were neatly hooked on the foam tied on the edge of the basket.

Bailang took a look and found that both the main thread and the sub-threads were very good. The hooks were tied very firmly and neatly. The hooks used were shining. Experienced people can tell at a glance that they are good things.

He was very satisfied with these things and asked about the price. Originally, Chen Xinyue wanted to give him a cheaper price, but Bailang didn't take advantage of her.

Her price is already very reasonable. Tying row hooks is not only cumbersome but also dangerous, and the profit is not much. In addition, business is not easy to do now. Bai Lang doesn't want Chen Xinyue to close down his own shop. .

Bailang took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to pay.

Because he still had something to do, he didn't choose to stay any longer, and agreed to talk when we had time next time. Bailang stacked six baskets together, put them on his shoulders, and strode away.

Saying goodbye to Chen Xinyue, he carried the hooks of the six large baskets he bought directly back to the ship.

After that, he bought some other things, such as water, drinks, fruit bread, etc. He also bought an oxygenator for use on the boat, as well as live nine-section shrimp bait. Before leaving, he also gave the oil on the boat to Topped up.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when everything was ready. He drove out towards the vast sea with full power.

The fishing boat was sailing on the sea. The live shrimps he had just bought were put into the live cabin. The oxygenator had also started working. Live shrimps are the best bait. If they die, their effectiveness will be greatly reduced. They must be taken care of carefully. .

After the fishing boat moved away from the dock, Bailang drove the boat while paying attention to the prompt interface in front of him.

The most important thing when placing the row hook is to find a place with fish. If you find a good place and find a place where fish gather, and put the row hook down, you can definitely guarantee a rich harvest.

This kind of thing is very difficult for others, but for him now, it is simply a piece of cake.

As long as he keeps sailing forward, the system can continuously provide a variety of information.

"76 meters southeast, 25 sand pointed fish, average weight of [-] taels per fish."

"80 meters southwest, 7 bass, average weight one pound or three taels."

"93 meters in the northeast, 13 manta rays, with an average weight of fourteen pounds."

"."

Bailang couldn't help but feel a little excited after seeing the reminder message from the devil ray.

The size of more than ten kilograms is already very good, but after hesitating for a while, he still chose to give up.The value of manta rays is not particularly high. The number of only 13 is still a bit too small. Not to mention that the manta rays have poisonous spines on their tails. After they come out of the water, they will flap their tails desperately. Even if they are really caught, it will be very difficult to handle. trouble, especially since he was alone now.

Bailang drove the fishing boat while staring at the prompt information.

For a full hour, he found no fish worthy of stopping to set the hook. They were either too small or the number of fish was insufficient.

"Can it be said that the fishery resources in the offshore areas have deteriorated to this extent?" He couldn't help but sigh.

In the past few decades, overfishing has resulted in a very poor supply of fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea. As a last resort, the policy of banning fishing in the sea has been implemented. Now it seems that the effect is not particularly obvious. Compared with the crazy fishing of humans, fish, shrimps and crabs reproduce and grow up. The speed is still too slow.

"It seems like we can only run a little further."

Bailang shook his head. There was nothing found near the fishing village or near the coast. The only option was to go further.

He raised his head, looked at the vast depths of the sea in the distance, and drove over without any hesitation.

The deeper the water, the greater the wind and waves.

The temperature in the morning was still relatively low, and the sea water splashed up and fell on him. It didn't take long for his clothes to be dry.

A gust of sea breeze blows, giving people a biting feeling. The life of fishermen is very difficult, and the weather and environment are also one of them.

Bai Lang drove the fishing boat deeper into the sea for another half an hour. Now he could no longer see the continental shelf from where he was. The surroundings were endless and endless.

The system's prompts have not stopped along the way, but they are all small-scale fish schools, which may be a rare resource for other fishermen, but now Bailang doesn't like them at all.

"96 meters southeast, there is a school of white pomfret, about 3500 fish, with an average weight of two kilograms and seven taels."

Bai Lang, whose vision was a little tired along the way, suddenly brightened up, and an eye-catching message finally appeared on the interface.

"Haha, I finally encountered a big school of fish!"

After driving the boat non-stop for more than an hour, Bai Lang was extremely happy when he finally found a target worthy of hooking.

Moreover, the target fish found this time was white pomfret, which was not only numerous in number but also large in size. This was definitely a rare thing.

At that moment, he turned the ship's bow and headed southeast.

Since he was very close to the fish school, Bai Lang also slowed down the speed of the fishing boat in time. At the same time, he also carefully observed the sea surface to see how to place the hook more appropriately.

Because he has been exposed to it since childhood, he also knows a lot about fishing experience or techniques.

After careful observation, Bailang discovered that there seemed to be a small current in the sea water in the opposite direction to the flow of the fish.

To put it simply, if you turn off the power of the fishing boat at this time, the entire boat will slowly float towards the fish school. This school of white pomfret is likely to follow this current to feed. .
