Chapter 187
Fishing is a very strange sport. There is really such a thing as a novice halo. Liu Zhongyu has never tried sea fishing, but he was the first to catch a fish.
He was so excited that his hands were not coordinated when he turned the reel.
Zhao Qin saw that his reel was catching lines like crazy, so he hurried forward to help adjust the unloading force, otherwise all the lines would be pulled out in a short while.
“Use your belly to push, lift the rod and don’t move, sink the rod and reel in the line.” Zhao Qin taught him the key points, and soon he understood how to play.
Before the fish was reeled in, Mr. Liu also caught a fish over there. Then, like a chain reaction, Mr. Ye and his team also caught fish one after another. Almost all the people on the boat were frantically reeling in the line. The scene was still spectacular.
“The fish situation is good today.” Mr. Liu said excitedly.
“It’s still Ah Qin who is lucky and knows how to choose the place. Old Liu, mine is bigger than yours.”
“Bullshit, take off your pants and compare.”
Everyone laughed again. There were men on the boat, and it was boring to be serious, so everyone was very relaxed.
At this time, the benefits of hand-line fishing can be seen. Ah He was the third person to catch a fish, but he was the first to pull it out of the water. “Brother, it’s a real porgy.”
Zhao Qin saw a light red figure on the water surface.
The so-called real porgy is called differently in different places. In some places, real porgy and black porgy are classified as one category, collectively known as garji fish. Red-scaled garji is real porgy, and black-scaled garji is black porgy.
In some places, the garji fish refers to another fish that is similar to real porgy but smaller in size.
The second fish to come up was Liu Zhongyu. Everyone was very happy when they saw it. It was not because of how big the fish was, but the key point was that the hook was not hung on the mouth, but on the dorsal fin. No wonder it was so powerful.
Zhao Qin had no way to fish anymore. He was busy serving them. After all, there were only two live tanks, so each fish had to be marked, otherwise it would be difficult to tell them apart after throwing them down.
Although everyone brought a refrigerator, everyone hoped that the fish they caught would be fresher when they returned, and of course it would be better if they were alive.
Some of them cut a mark on their dorsal fins, and some on their tail fins, mainly targeting the three bosses. As for the fish caught by Liu Zhongyu, they were thrown directly into the refrigerator.
The fish flowed with the water in waves. After an hour of fishing, the fish gradually stopped biting. Zhao Qin was busy boiling water and cooking seafood for everyone.
“Pipi shrimp, follow me.” All the shrimps, crabs, snails and other things were cooked in one pot. Liu Zhongyu smiled and said while holding a Pipi shrimp.
“Be careful, I didn’t cut the buttocks, don’t scratch your hands when peeling.”
The buttocks of Pipi shrimp have two rows of knife-like shells on both sides, which are very hard and can easily break the shells of conchs. Although they are not afraid of being bounced when cooked, they are very sharp and can be scratched if you are not careful.
The shells for eating are thrown directly into the sea. It doesn’t matter if this thing does not dissolve, it will become food for marine creatures.
After the meal, everyone drank tea. Mr. Ye said with satisfaction: “There is no hot tea on Lao Qian’s boat. Ah Qin, your tea is a bit inferior. I will leave two boxes with Lao Qian next time. You can go and get them.”
“Okay, thank you, Mr. Ye.”
After drinking tea, Liu Yu and the others lay in the tent for lunch. Zhao Qin couldn’t help it. He picked up one of the people’s rods and started fishing.
Maybe it was the system unlocking, or maybe the fixed luck value reached a certain value. It was not like before. Just when everyone was resting, he caught a fish.
Everyone looked over. Ah He had already taken a scoop net and was ready. Past experience told him that if he caught a fish, he would not take a small one.
As a result, when he pulled it up, even Zhao Qin himself was a little embarrassed. It was a black silk spot weighing three or four taels. This thing is similar to Shi Jiugong. It doesn’t grow big, but it has a big mouth and is particularly greedy.
“Hahaha, Ah He, your net has holes and can’t catch sea water.” Liu Zhongyu laughed.
This joke made even Zhao Ping burst out laughing.
Zhao Qin still didn’t believe it, so he put on the bait and fished again. As a result, he caught a water fish this time. Some places call it “quack quack” because it can make the same sound as the big yellow croaker. There is nothing wrong with this fish, but it doesn’t grow big and is very cheap.
Zhao Qin was completely convinced. How could such a big hook catch so many small fish?
He simply threw the fishing rod to Liu Zhongyu, took out his hand silk thread, put on the bait and cast the hook. Everyone had rested for a while. At this moment, the sea water was half-tide, which was the most suitable time. They started fishing again.
Fishing also depends on the tide. The water flow is fast during high tide, followed by medium tide, and the slowest at bottom tide.
In fact, you can fish at different tides, depending on what fish you are fishing for. High tides are for active fish, such as tuna and sea bass, medium tides are for relatively active fish, and bottom tides are for relatively quiet fish.
Zhao Qin had been playing with the thread for about five minutes, when suddenly the force was very strong and he pulled the thread violently.
This time the feeling in his hand was stronger, at leastHe was sure it was not a small fish. After fighting for about ten minutes, he pulled the fish out of the water and found that it was actually a large stone snapper.
The current price of stone snapper is not cheap, but it is still not as good as grouper. Zhao Qin knows that in the next ten years, the price of this fish will become higher and higher, surpassing that of ordinary grouper and second only to red grouper.
Stone snapper is estimated to cost two to three hundred yuan per catty now.
After catching this fish and showing his strength, he stopped fishing and started serving again.
After fishing for more than an hour, Zhao Qin said to everyone: “It’s three o’clock, and it will take more than an hour to reel in the longline, so let’s reel in the pole.”
In fact, the fishing situation is pretty good now. Mr. Ye and the others caught about six or seven fish in the morning. This time, each of them caught four or five fish. The big ones were like seabass, each weighing seven or eight kilograms, and the small ones weighed more than one kilogram. point.
But after hearing what he said, no one objected, so they raised the hook and put away the pole.
“Aqin, is there anything special about retrieving longlines for fishing?”
“Mr. Ye, should I collect it for you, or should you collect it yourself?”
“Since it’s an experience, let’s do it ourselves.” Mr. Ye and the others have seen a lot, but they have never seen it once.
“It’s not too particular. It’s just like a finger wire. If the fish in the water pulls too hard, just loosen the line a little. I will unhook the fish when the fish comes up.”
When they arrived at the place, Mr. Ye and the other three had already decided on the order. The first basket belonged to Mr. Liu.
Zhao Qin picked up the floating ball, handed the line to the other party, took out a basket and sat opposite him. The first one was actually a sea carp, weighing two or three kilograms.
“Hey, this fish is good, steamed very well.” Mr. Liu said excitedly when he brought it up.
Sea carp looks similar to Hongyou. The price is not high, but the taste is still good. It is also a fish with good value for money.
When one-third of the fish was caught, a fish started to pull with Mr. Liu. It took about four or five minutes to pull the fish up. It was a big red eel, not much smaller than the one Zhao Qin caught before. , by visual inspection, it’s almost the same even if it’s less than ten pounds.
“Oh my God, there is such a top-notch product.”
“Old Liu, go back and chop this into pieces, and let the three of us take a piece each.”
“What are you going to chop? I’ll find a restaurant to have it processed tonight. Let’s have fun together.” Old Liu was quite excited.
What bothers Zhao Qin the most is catching eels, because it means he has to waste another hook. If the catch is his own, he can take it off and reuse it when selling it, but today’s harvest belongs to the three bosses. If Shi is still alive, the hook cannot be removed.
