My fishing game syncs with reality

Chapter 330 Do you want a boat?

"It seems that I should prepare more semi-finished foods in the future." After eating, Gu Nan slumped in the chair. Thinking back to the feeling of hunger just now, he still felt a lingering fear.

I usually cook for myself, so I rarely buy things like buns and dumplings, which takes a long time to cook. I almost ate raw beef just now.

The hunger he felt before was normal, but this time he was caught off guard.

It seems that I consumed quite a lot of energy from fishing last night. The bluefin fin is indeed worthy of its 1,300-pound weight, it's really powerful.

After resting for a while, Gu Nan got up and cleaned the kitchen.

The beef was frozen in the refrigerator. I was in a hurry to eat it and put it directly into the pot without thawing it, causing oil to splatter everywhere.

His clothes were all greasy. If he hadn't continued fishing today, his clothes would have been dirty and he would have had to change.

After finishing the work, I came to the deck and a cool sea breeze blew.

Gu Nan took a deep breath and felt refreshed.

Although it has a smell of the sea, the air is indeed much fresher after being away from the mainland.

The fishing boats in the distance were very quiet at this time. It was obvious that the boatmen who had been busy all night had not yet gotten up.

But since they have to go to the next stop today, Ye Jing should get up early, so Gu Nan sent him a message.

If someone is already up, let them set off first.

After more than ten minutes, Ye Jing replied to the message, saying that he was ready to set sail.

Seeing this, Gu Nan returned to the cabin, started the fishing boat to preheat the engine, and waited for the fishing boat to come.

Another ten minutes passed, and the sound of the engine gradually became clearer. Gu Nan went to the cabin door and took a look. Seeing that the boat was only a hundred meters away from him, he went back to start the fishing boat to the next fishing spot.

This fishing spot is only more than 30 nautical miles away from here, which is not far.

But unlike this place, the next fishing spot is deeper, more than 150 meters.

Obviously the main target is deep sea fish, so the longlines used will be different.

The length of the longline and sub-line are all similar, but the longline for deep-sea fishing will sink, ensuring that the sub-line can also catch deep-sea fish.

There are many styles of longlines, some that sink and some that have particularly long sub-lines.

The sub-line with particularly long length is generally used to catch big fish, such as tuna.

Gu Nan didn't particularly want to know about these things, since he didn't do longline fishing anyway.

It took more than 30 nautical miles and two hours to reach the destination.

Gu Nan quickly found the fishing spot based on the coordinates.

The bottom of the fish finder was covered with fish, so it was clear that the water was very busy early in the morning!
Gu Nan stopped the boat, dropped the anchor, took out his fishing rod and started fishing.

This time I didn’t fish by hand, I went straight to the electric reel.

But he only laid out two, and the fishing situation looked very good, so two fishing rods were enough to keep him busy.

Through the fish finder, Gu Nan discovered that the fish at the bottom of the water were not particularly large, so today he hung a bait cage on the line and caught Antarctic shrimp for fishing.

For small fish, Antarctic shrimp is still very effective.

After putting on the bait and throwing it into the water, the hook and bait quickly sank to the bottom of the water under the weight of the large lead sinker.

Gu Nan waited for a while, and then there was movement on the fishing rod.

Press the button and the electric winch starts working.

The line was reeling in very quickly, so it was obvious that the fish was not big.

Gu Nan turned his head to look at the fishing boat next door and found that there were already sailors busy on the deck.

It seems that we are also planning to longline in the morning. The fish situation is good in the morning, so we can catch more then. If we feel sleepy, we can just rest in the afternoon.

Gu Nan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not asked about last night's catch yet. Before the fish was caught, he took off his gloves and sent Ye Jing a message, asking how much he had caught last night.

Four hundred and sixty-eight, among which the proportion of grouper was significantly increased.

Seeing this message, Gu Nan was very satisfied.

There are nearly two hundred more fish than in the afternoon, and even more groupers. It seems that the time for longlining in the future should be in the morning and evening.

Putting the phone away, there were only about twenty meters left between him and the number on the screen.

Gu Nan quickly put on his gloves and went to catch the first fish of the day.

After the fish came up, he was a little surprised. It turned out to be a thick cutlassfish!
In broad daylight, the cutlassfish looks particularly shiny. It is about four fingers wide, which is not small for the East China Sea cutlassfish.

According to the name that has been hyped up here, this thing can be called oil hairtail, and the price can be higher than ordinary hairtail.

Gu Nan was too lazy to expose the fact that hairtail was a species without any oil. After all, he was also a beneficiary.

And those who really buy this thing must have some money. It's a rip-off. Ordinary families can't afford to buy an oil belt, especially for fishing.

Hairtail is the fattest in autumn and winter, and is actually also okay in spring, but the price is a little higher than when the sea just opens.

It's mainly a production issue. Secondly, there are no fish during the fishing ban period, so it's normal that the price is higher.

After I put away the cutlassfish and put up the bait, the fish caught by the second fishing rod appeared on the water surface, which was also a cutlassfish.

It seemed that there was a nest of cutlassfish where he was. Seeing this, Gu Nan collected the cutlassfish first and then replaced the fishhook with Tianya.

He went to the cold storage hold and moved out a box of sardines. Then he went to the live fish hold and fished out a black sea bream. He killed it, cut the meat into strips, and tied it to the Tianya.

If you use Tianya, you can’t use Antarctic shrimp as bait, but hairtail has sharp teeth and it is troublesome to change the bait every time you catch one.

There is no such worry when using Tianya. A piece of fish can be used repeatedly until it is completely bitten into pieces.

Since Gu Nan linked the game last year, he has not gone out to sea to fish for cuttlefish very often.

The old store originally didn't have any of these fish for sale, but after his parents took over the business, they found a special supply channel and specialized in importing fish such as hairtail, small yellow croaker and small pomfret, which have extremely high sales in the market.

Fortunately, he encountered this today, so Gu Nan simply caught some more and sold them at the old store.

In other words, these hairtails are big enough and the price is reasonable.

Otherwise, he would have sailed to another place to catch other deep-sea fish, which would give a surprise from time to time, and the overall price of the fish would be higher.

After tying up the Tianya, Gu Nan threw the hook and bait down and continued fishing for cuttlefish.

Although hairtail is a nocturnal fish, once the bait is delivered to their mouths, they will slowly gather together attracted by the smell of food.

With two electric fishing rods fishing one fish after another, Gu Nan had almost no free time.

Compared to fishing, fishing has this advantage.

When you are fishing alone, facing a school of fish, it seems like you can never catch all the fish no matter how hard you try.

However, as the sun slowly rose and the time came to around ten o'clock, the probability of catching hairtail began to gradually decrease.

Secondly, ordinary small fish dare not come to where they are.

Seeing that there were no more fish bites, Gu Nan reeled in the fishing line, walked into the cabin, started the fishing boat, and moved to another place.

There is still an entire afternoon left, and it’s not easy to catch fish on the game map, so I can’t waste my time.

Gu Nan didn't run very far. Based on the detection of the fish finder, he turned around a small circle and then chose a place where the fish were most concentrated.

Thanks to the advancement of technology, people no longer need to worry about not being able to catch fish.

In the past, fishermen relied purely on experience to find fish. How could they have known that there would be a small fishing ground under the vast ocean?

In the past, fishermen basically looked for fishing locations based on isolated islands and reefs.

Then, based on the water flow and wind direction, he could roughly determine where there might be more fish, or where there would be a waterway. He stopped the boat and continued fishing. Having eaten a lot in the morning, he was not hungry at this time, so Gu Nan chose to continue fishing.

Among the fish school here, there are many fish icons that are much larger than other fish, which means there are medium-sized fish.

According to experience, there are many large fish weighing more than ten kilograms at the bottom of the water.

So Gu Nan put Tianya away and replaced it with a bigger fish hook than the one he used in the morning.

The sardines are almost thawed by now, just enough to hang them up whole.

These sardines are just right for fish weighing more than ten pounds but less than thirty pounds.

Still using two fishing rods, Gu Nan replaced the Antarctic shrimps in the bait cage, then threw the hook and bait into the water and started fishing.

The Antarctic shrimps that have been soaked for several hours have lost their smell and will not attract fish if they are not changed.

The fish bite was average at noon, but there were many fish at the bottom of the water.

After waiting for two minutes, there was movement from the fishing rod.

Gu Nan immediately pressed the button and the electric winch started working immediately. The fishhook tightened as the line was reeled in and immediately pierced into the fish's lips, achieving the effect of piercing the fish.

The first fish was not very big and it was pulled to the surface in just a short while.

"what?"

An orange fish that looks a bit like a bigeye snapper.

Gu Nan has caught a lot of deep-sea fish, but he didn't expect to catch a fish that looked delicious but he didn't recognize it today.

He has caught many strange-shaped fish, most of which have no edible value.

This kind of sea bream looks like it, so you know it’s edible without even thinking about it.

Grab the fishing line and pull it up, and take a look at it for identification.

After seeing the name, Gu Nan suddenly realized that it was Xifuluoyu, which is generally called golden pineapple in Guangdong and Guangdong areas.

It is a pretty good fish, and its price is much higher than that of hairtail. The suggested price given in the game is one hundred and eighty. Of course, this refers to the price in Yangjiang Port.

After collecting the fish, I re-baited and threw it into the water. After the hook and bait sank to the bottom, the second fishing rod responded.

The bite of this fish is definitely not as good as the hairtail in the morning. In the morning, the fish would bite within half a minute after the hook and bait were put down.

It's just that his luck was a little bad today. He didn't catch two or even three cutlassfish with one rod. He did encounter this situation last year.

The hungry cutlassfish bit its companion's tail directly and was caught, obviously mistaking its companion for food.

The second fishing rod was bent a little more. After pressing the button, Gu Nan felt a little excited. It looked like the fish might weigh about ten pounds.

Even a fish with stronger strength would weigh at least 15 to 20 kilograms.

Fish of this size pose no pressure to the electric reel and the time to catch it is almost the same as the previous fish.

A fiery red fish appeared on the water surface. It was a ruby ​​fish. This fish was good and its price was a little higher than that of a golden pineapple.

The fishing spot we found this time seemed pretty good, and the fish we caught were quite valuable.

As he became busy again, after a while, Ye Jing sent him a short video.

Don't get me wrong, it has nothing to do with Mr. Huang. This is just a short video showing off the catch.

The video shows boxes of sorted fish, including longtail snapper, ruby ​​fish, and deep-sea grouper, all packed in boxes.

"Oh, the fishing conditions were pretty good this morning. Did you catch so many great fish?"

Ye Jing: "That's right. The number of fish caught this morning was not as much as yesterday, only about 250 or so, but the fish were big, and the unit price was higher. The overall value should not be inferior to last night's catch. It seems that I can come to this fishing spot often in the future."

Gu Nan agreed: "It's true, but don't worry, there are still some fishing spots to go. We can plan the route after we get to them all."

The main ones are long-tailed sea bream, which is actually very rare.

Even though the anglers in online videos seem to be able to catch fish frequently, when compared with other fish, the number is almost non-existent.

Gu Nan has been out to sea for so long, but he rarely catches more than twenty fish in one night, and there are only a few times when he catches more than ten.

But this fish is really delicious, especially when it is freshly caught. He would not even exchange it for M9 grade marbled beef.

In the next few days, Gu Nan visited all the fishing spots he had obtained.

They are all good fishing spots, but they still need to be classified according to the harvest.

The fishing spots that Gu Nan recorded himself plus the ones he asked about were too numerous to mention in one boat trip to visit all of them, not even one-third of them.

Therefore, it is necessary to filter out those with poor resources and then plan the route.

Ye Jing specially planned three routes, and ran the three routes in rotation, just once a month.

The trip took a total of eight days. When Gu Nan returned home, he not only had a boat full of fish, but also five huge bluefin tuna lying in the ice house.

None of these fish weighs less than 1,300 kilograms. Just as Gu Nan thought, only those weighing more than 1,300 kilograms can be called legendary.

The only thing that made Gu Nan regretful was that he still failed to break the record.

The largest one weighed 1,349 kilograms, just a little bit less.

It seems that 1,400 kilograms is a hurdle that is not so easy to exceed.

Since he was not short of money for the time being, Gu Nan did not think about selling the blue fin. He planned to keep it and wait and see how the situation would be after he drew the next legendary card.

We can only sell two fish a year at most, so there is still enough time to sell them during the fishing ban period.

Gu Nan even planned to go to the Ugly Country and sell the fish after returning, so that people would think that he got the fish from the Ugly Country.

However, sometimes plans cannot keep up with changes.

The next day after returning, not long after Gu Nan arrived at the store, an acquaintance came to the door.

She is an internal member of the club, her name is Xu Chengcheng, and she is a female fishing enthusiast.

There are only three female anglers in the club, and she is the most beautiful and has the most curvaceous figure.

If it weren't for Yi Chen, Gu Nan might have approached her and developed a relationship with her.

Unfortunately, he has a wife, so our relationship is limited to a few conversations and group chats.

She did go to the sea fishing activity organized by Wang Junhe last time, but Gu Nan had too many gay friends around him, so the two of them didn't have much contact at all.

So he was very curious about what Xu Chengcheng was doing here today. He had never seen her buy fish before.

"Old Gu, do you want a wife?"

"what?"

Yi Chen: Stare!!!

"Oh, sorry, I said that. I meant do you want a boat? I heard recently that you bought three boats and started a fishing company, so I came to ask if you still need a boat!"

Xu Chengcheng is usually carefree and can make any dirty jokes, but he felt a little embarrassed when Yi Chen was staring at him, so he quickly explained the purpose of his visit.

"Uh, you want to sell the boat?" Gu Nan was a little depressed. Why did he come here in person to ask about selling the boat?

"It's a friend's boat. I just happened to pass by here, so I came to your shop to ask."

"What ship?"

"A fishing boat, fifty-eight meters long."
