My fishing game syncs with reality

Chapter 342 Zhao Kang Tests the Big Fish

The delicious food is delightful. After eating and drinking, you can lie on a chair on the top of the boat and enjoy the breeze. Life on the sea is still very comfortable.

The most important thing is to have a signal so you can play with your phone at will.

As a person of the new century, Gu Nan cannot live without his mobile phone.

Since he has gone out to sea to fish, he doesn't expect to improve himself by reading books or studying. He just wants to make money and live a comfortable life.

"Why are you here?" Ye Jing came to the cab and found Gu Nan lying down and enjoying the breeze.

"Digest the food in your stomach and then go to sleep. Why, are you on duty tonight?" Gu Nan asked.

"I don't need to be on duty. We don't sail at night anyway." Ye Jing shook his head. "I just come up to take a look. I'll wait until the customers go back to rest. I also have to keep an eye on this side to avoid any emergencies."

Normally these small matters would be handled by other members of the wheelhouse, but he did not have much experience as a captain, so he had to do many things himself. He would not do this again once he became familiar with the job.

"Okay! Are they going fishing again?"

"Brother Wang and the others have gone back to rest. Ajun and Xiaokang are still fishing."

"You won't fish again?"

"Forget it for me. I'll just join in the fun when I have time. Now that I'm a captain, I get shares in the company and the annual dividends and salary are more than enough to support me. There's no need for me to work so hard anymore." Ye Jing shook his head, indicating that he didn't have such big ambitions.

It was obvious from the fact that he opened a pet shop and lived a retirement life that he was not a very hardworking person.

If it weren't for his brother's rise to power, and the pressure of getting a wife and raising children, he would probably still be guarding his pet shop.

Well, Gu Nan had nothing to say.

They are brothers who have grown up together and know each other very well.

He also understood that the efforts of his two childhood friends were actually related to him.

Let’s not talk about Ye Jing, let’s just talk about An Jun. If he hadn’t become famous for fishing, he would probably still be exploring somewhere, or even have gone to a small socialist country in the south.

Then his daily life and the little Koreans will become his lingering places, where he will never want to leave.

Thinking about those days, Gu Nan suddenly felt that this way of living was not bad!

Some people are very smart. They never get married and always date twenty-year-old female internet celebrities.

Continuing the family line, if you have money, you can do it later, when you’ve had enough fun.

If you don't have money, you have to do it early and cheat it first.

Shake your head and get rid of all these messy things from your mind.

My wife is only in her early twenties and is prettier than female internet celebrities. It’s worth it.

The two brothers were enjoying the breeze on the top of the boat. There was no need to imagine the future because the good days were right now.

They waited until after two o'clock, and the anglers who could not wait any longer went back to rest and sleep. Only then did they turn off the lights and go back to sleep.

The next day, at Gu Nan's suggestion, the fishing boat changed its route and headed to the waters where tuna were more active.

People who live on the sea naturally have news about the sea. If you want to know where tuna are, you just need to ask and you will know.

Not only Gu Nan had news, but the first mate and temporary captain also had news.

Normally, if a fishing boat goes out to sea and reaches a place with resources, it will stay for at least two days.

They will not move to the next stop until there are no more fish to catch, which can save a lot of fuel for each trip.

However, this is the first time going out to sea, which can be regarded as a trial operation. In addition, there are distinguished guests such as Wang Junhe on the ship, so we change the location every day.

The fishing boat set out at four in the morning, taking advantage of the time when the fishermen were still asleep.

However, there are still some diligent fishermen who get up early, skipping even breakfast, and go to the stern of the boat with their fishing rods to play trolling.

These are the real fishermen. If it weren't for the needs of their body functions, they would rather not sleep or eat, and would spend twenty-four hours a day fishing.

Gu Nan didn't go, because trolling would only catch some fast fish. In today's open sea, the possibility of catching mackerel is not that high, so the cheaper sea wolves will emerge.

He had no interest in fishing for sea wolf fish.

The price of Spanish mackerel may be low, but at least the taste is not bad. Sea wolf is really not tasty, anyway, he doesn't like it.

The waters where tuna appear are quite far from the coast, about 140 to 50 nautical miles away.

But the fishing boat was already in the open sea and arrived at the destination around 8:30 in the morning.

Gu Nan stood on the top of the boat and looked around with a telescope. There were quite a few fishing boats on the sea!
There were three ships of similar size to his within sight, but they were very far apart and could only be observed with a telescope, otherwise they would only be a faint black dot.

There were relatively more fishing boats. We encountered more than a dozen along the way. It was obvious that everyone wanted to catch more tuna.

I have to admit that tuna is indeed delicious to fishermen, even if it is only one weighing thirty or fifty kilograms.

Of course, the East China Sea bluefin bream is not so popular. It weighs only about ten pounds and costs about a hundred yuan each. It wins purely by quantity.

For Gu Nan, fishing this is not as good as fishing for bonito, at least bonito is bigger.

However, reality is always frustrating.

The fishing boat found an area where there were schools of fish. It should have been good luck, but when Gu Nan went down to fish, the unwanted tuna appeared.

Bluefin tuna, also known as the East China Sea bluefin tuna.

And it’s not big at all, just about four or five pounds.

The scale is quite large, and anglers are fishing enthusiastically, catching fish almost as soon as the hook is put down.

But even though Gu Nan was disgusted, he still continued fishing.

Japanese food stores also buy these things, and some cheap tuna sashimi uses these things.

Activities like 88 yuan per person and eating until you are full are very good choices for people who have never eaten tuna.

Secondly, these small green tangs can also be used as bait to catch large tuna, and the effect is excellent, much better than sardines.

Even if you encounter a dense school of fish, as long as you throw this thing down, there is still a great possibility of catching tuna.

The cruel truth is that tuna’s favorite thing to eat is tuna.

Every time Gu Nan caught a small tuna weighing four to five pounds, or at most ten pounds, it almost flew up into the air, and the crank seemed to be smoking from the turning.

The fish should just be passing by, coming and going quickly.

Ye Jing did not come out of the cab, but kept observing the fish situation. After seeing the school of fish leaving from the fish finder, he started the fishing boat and searched for traces of large tuna in the surrounding waters.

Therefore, the fishing boat had not been turned off and the anchor had not been dropped.

When you bait a bait to fish, you have to see the fish first!
Fishing for tuna during the day is so troublesome that you can only try your luck and find them slowly.

If it is night, just put down the fish-attracting lights and turn on as many lights on the boat as possible, and if there are tuna nearby, they will automatically come to you.

After wandering around for about twenty minutes, running from one side of the sea to the other, the fish finder finally scanned some thick red lines, and a big fish appeared.

The number is not large, and it is just a drop in the bucket for the hundreds of people on the fishing boat.

But we can't ignore it, whether we can catch it depends on luck.

The fishing boat stopped but the engine was still on.

Ye Jing informed everyone that there was a small school of tuna nearby, and the boatmen began to get busy, throwing the sardines that had been pulled out and thawed long ago into the water one by one.

Gu Nan prepared 12,000 kilograms of sardines for this voyage. It seemed like a lot, but each person only got a little over 100 kilograms.

There is no other way. It is not good to put too much in the cold storage. We can't put all the bait in it, right? Fortunately, we are all experienced fishermen. Even if it is free bait, no one will waste it.

Even some anglers who like to go for big fish will use the fish they catch as bait.

The boatman would throw several hundred kilograms of fish at a time.

Some are thrown into almost every fishing spot. After sinking to the bottom of the water, they will naturally form a big fish nest and attract nearby tuna.

Fortunately, the baits were chopped into pieces. If they were thrown one by one, we wouldn’t be able to catch many tuna at all.

Gu Nan changed the fishing rod to one with a thick line and hung a small golden tuna that had just died of lack of oxygen.

This small golden tuna weighs four or five pounds, which is just right for use as bait.

The ten-jin one is still a bit too big. If there is a large cargo of four or five hundred kilograms, a ten-jin or even twenty-jin small golden gun will do.

However, tuna here are rarely this big. Basically, they are only over 100 kilograms, and the better ones are over 200 kilograms.

Gu Nan was still surrounded by Wang Junhe and Zhao Kang, but Zhao Kang did not use the electric winch today. This guy planned to try out the feel of the heavy goods himself.

He did not object, but tied the rope on the fishing rod to the side of the boat with a smile to prevent the fish from hooking the guy.

Without money, the food was naturally not very good. Zhao Kang was very thin, less than 1.7 meters tall, and Gu Nan even suspected that his weight was less than 95 kilograms.

Fortunately, this boy is young and boys develop slowly, so he can grow taller if he gets enough nutrition later.

With such a small body, he may not even be as good as Yi Chen, so it’s a joke to try to catch a big fish.

A fish nest slowly formed under the boat, and the tuna was very fast, arriving at the side of the boat in the blink of an eye.

The hooks and baits of Gu Nan and others sank to a depth of about 130 meters. The water here is just over 200 meters deep, and the tuna are active in the middle of the water layer.

They can see it because the fish nest is sinking, so even if they come over, the water layer will not change much.

There were more than a hundred people on the boat, all hoping to win a prize.

After a while, at a fishing spot about twelve or thirteen away from Gu Nan, a fellow angler suddenly shouted excitedly, saying he had caught a fish.

Wang Junhe turned his head to look, but couldn't see much because of the crowds of people blocking the view. He teased Gu Nan, "Anan, you are only good at fishing in front of us. You see, when there are many people, you may not be the first to catch a fish."

Gu Nan was speechless: "I don't have a 100% chance of catching the fish first, isn't it normal for others to catch it first?"

Wang Junhe smiled but didn't reply. Doesn't he know this?

He was just teasing Gu Nan for fun.

Then, excited voices from other anglers came from the boat one after another, obviously they all caught something.

Those who didn’t catch anything became more and more anxious, hoping that they would be the next one.

After a while, Zhao Kang's fishing rod suddenly moved.

The rod suddenly bent down and the fishing line was pulled out quickly.

Zhao Kang was caught off guard and was dragged hard against the side of the boat. His arm hit the corner of the boat and he gasped in pain.

If he hadn't caught a fish, he would have let go and rubbed it. It was so skinny that there was not much meat on it, and this time it almost hit the bone directly, which was very painful.

When Gu Nan and the others saw that he had caught a fish, they reeled in the lines immediately without any reminder so as not to disturb him.

There were not many fish to begin with, and since some of the guys had caught fish, they naturally left the chance to others. The anglers on the boat were envious of others catching fish, but they all understood the situation well.

"It seems that Xiaokang is very lucky, better than you, Anan!" Wang Junhe said with a smile.

An Jun agreed: "Finally there is someone who is luckier than An Nan. Every time I see An Nan showing off, it makes me really upset."

Gu Nan's face darkened: "Okay, okay, okay, that's what you said, okay, from now on, I will show off every day!"

He just didn't believe it. How could the luck of the chosen one with cheating skills be worse than that of others?

If it doesn’t work, he’ll just cheat!
The legendary card is still there, and even if it is not used on tuna, he can use it on other fish.

Now that he has sturgeons worth 10,000 each in the sea-hunting map, he has no shortage of gold coins at all.

Even though the chance of a legendary card is low, it’s still okay to waste one or two.

Zhao Kang didn't hear what they were saying at all at this time. Now he finally understood why Gu Nan asked him to use the electric winch.

It had just begun and he was almost unable to hold on. He was indeed taught a good lesson by the big fish.

Guo Xiao usually doesn't talk as much as Wang Junhe when fishing, but this time he was very cunning. After reeling in the fishing line, he saw that Zhao Kang seemed like he couldn't hold on any longer, so he immediately came over and patted him gently.

"Xiao Kang, do you want me to help take over?"

Zhao Kang nodded repeatedly, gritting his teeth and not daring to say a word, for fear that he would lose his temper as soon as he opened his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Guo Xiao took the fishing rod without saying a word. It was a lot of pressure for him, but it was not unacceptable. If he walked carefully, he could catch some fish by himself.

Obviously, the fish was not particularly big, otherwise it would be difficult for him to catch it alone.

Wang Junhe finally reacted: "Fuck, Lao Guo, you are such a cunning guy, when you get tired later, let me take over!"

Guo Xiao still had the energy to reply: "I'll talk to you when I'm tired."

Gu Nan looked at Zhao Kang, who was rubbing his arm and panting, and said with a smile: "Now you know that big fish are hard to catch, right?"

Zhao Kang nodded with a bitter face: "I am too weak."

"Don't worry, you're still young. Now that you have money, go back and eat more nutritious food. Go back and buy a refrigerator, bring some fish back, and eat more beef and eggs."

"In two years, when you're in your twenties, you'll be able to make big deals."

Gu Nan took off his gloves, patted his shoulder and comforted him.

Zhao Kang nodded vigorously. He knew that he could bring back a lot of money this time, so buying a refrigerator and food would be no problem.

Moreover, after he returns and officially starts working, if the fishing boat is not open, he can follow Gu Nan when he goes out to sea. The money earned from a trip out to sea is no problem for living, and he can even save a lot for the future.

Zhao Kang has understood a lot about fishing in the past few days. At least he knows that fishing requires making a nest and finding a place where there are fish schools. You can't just fish in any random place.

That's why he understood that if he followed Gu Nan or went out to sea with a fishing boat, he would definitely gain something and he didn't have to worry about making money at all.

Gu Nan gave him a base salary plus commission, with a guaranteed minimum.

The minimum monthly guarantee is 10,000 yuan, even during the fishing ban period.

But after going out to sea with them, the fish they caught were only shared by the fishermen and were not counted as his own.

Gu Nan gave him a choice. The first was that he could pay for the boat fare himself and go out to sea to fish and earn money.

The other is that he can provide stable security, but there will not be the possibility of getting rich overnight for the time being.

At least it is difficult to make tens of thousands of dollars from fishing at sea like this time, unless you catch the valuable bluefin bream.

As for the share, Gu Nan didn't give a particularly high one, just according to normal industry practices.

Under normal market conditions, the commission for fishing is very low, only about 3% to 5% of the industry price. He gives 3%, plus a base salary of . Even so, it is much better than finding a job on his own.

But fishing is really dependent on luck, and the returns are not so good every month.

In addition, he can catch a lot of fish, but others may not be able to do so, so Gu Nan gave him an extra 10,000 as a guarantee.

In this way, during the fishing ban period, Zhao Kang still has money to support his family.

It is not appropriate to give too much preferential treatment to a new employee. Just increase the salary every fishing ban period. (End of this chapter)
