Chapter 17: The Beginning of Sea Fishing
Standing on the deck of the yacht facing the sea breeze, Yang Zi and his party of more than ten people of all sizes will be very excited~ A few children may have seen the sea for the first time, although their hands were very nervous holding the handle of the side of the boat, but their mouths kept shouting, making the boat full of childish joy.
This time, the yacht driver who was responsible for accompanying Yang Zi and them on their trip was surnamed Xiao, and his single name was a soldier. He is forty-one years old this year, and everyone calls him Brother Bing, and the other party is driving the yacht while telling Lao Wang to take care of their children.
As a perennial yacht fishing boat sailing boat boss, a dark skin, although he speaks Mandarin is not particularly standard, but he is particularly able to speak, along the way has been enthusiastic with Yang Zi and they introduced the names and stories of the nearby places, quite a part-time tour guide.
After sailing on the boundless sea for more than an hour, a small island finally appeared in front of them. When Xiao Bing said that the front is the destination of this trip, Wailingding Island, everyone cheered, they are considered to have sat all over the sea, land and air transportation today, although they feel novel at sea, but they are also tired enough, and they can't wait to rush to the hotel to rest for a while.
As the yacht slowly approaches the small island, a quiet and beautiful seaside town gradually comes into view.
The view is a clear blue bay, a long pier in the middle of which is moored with a few white-sailed boats, and the pale golden sand, green trees, scattered buildings and blue sky on the shore.
Yang Zi, who was standing on the deck, was momentarily lost by this charming scenery, and it was not until Brother Bing docked the yacht to the edge of the dock that they came back to their senses. One by one, they packed their bags and cheered and rushed to the beach by the bay, eager to enjoy the intoxicating scenery.
Yang Zi, who fell at the end, was relieved to look at the happy crowd, it seems that this place is really not wrong, at least the scenery in front of him is worth the ticket price. When he thought about the next journey here, his heart couldn't help but be filled with anticipation.
After standing quietly on the pier and watching the scenery of the island carefully, Yang Zi and Brother Bing, who tied the boat, walked towards the shore together without hurry, Xiao Bing first took them to the hotel where they stayed, arranged the room, let everyone rest freely for two hours, and then go to their dining place later, and talk about the next itinerary and the island's attractions in detail.
After the tired people who were still on the boat put their luggage away, they didn't feel a little sleepy, and they went out in good spirits after changing into casual clothes one by one. It seemed that the scenery just now was too attractive, and they ran to the bay with their cameras together and kept taking pictures.
happily played outside for more than two hours, and watched the getting late everyone come to a restaurant not far from the hotel under Xiao Bing's phone call.
This seafood restaurant mainly deals in some local fishermen's sea fish, shrimp and crabs, and under the recommendation of the owner, everyone picked up a few more traditional seafood dishes such as salt and pepper shrimp, stir-fried crab with ginger and shallots, general hat with garlic, and boiled nine claw snails.
Although Yang Zi felt that the taste was really not good after a few bites, and it was not as good as the one he made himself, the people who were already hungry didn't care so much. Maybe it has something to do with the food culture, they haven't eaten much of this cuisine, they think the taste of seafood is not bad, only Yang Zi, who has been in Zhoushan for a while, is more depressed.
During the banquet, Xiao Bing asked Yang Zi about their thoughts, and then briefly made arrangements for the next few days, and on the first day, everyone went to sea by boat together. Take a tour around the vicinity of Wailingding Island, and then play Lua for half a day, and if the fish is good, you can also enjoy a delicious seafood feast on the boat.
In the next few days, ladies and children who enjoy the scenery can enjoy exploring the area, and when they are bored, they can play mahjong at the nearby entertainment center.
Yang Zi and a few of them who love fishing will take a boat to a slightly farther sea area to try some deep-water fishing methods such as iron plate fishing and sinking bottom fishing.
After setting the general itinerary, everyone who has eaten and drunk will begin to feel sleepy. After a day of running, they were not even interested in the supper that Xiao Bing planned to arrange, so they went back to the hotel early and started to rest.
There are basically no cars and people on the island at night, and the very peaceful environment makes everyone sleep very sweetly this night. Energetic, they boarded the yacht with Xiao Bing after breakfast the next morning, and started today's journey with the rising sun.
The yacht they rented was very spacious, with a sofa bed for resting and a small bar inside. In the middle of the deck is a foldable dining table, stools, chairs and a simple set of cooking utensils. There is also a swimming deck that can be folded and retracted at the stern and several fishing spots for placing fishing rods, and the supporting facilities are very complete, and some functions and configurations that everyone can think of are complete.
With such a good equipment number, Yang Zi naturally didn't want to waste it, and when Xiao Bing took everyone to stop and watch the scenery near the island, he pulled up the money and just moved out the fishing tackle he bought last time.
Because Brother Bing would come over to teach them when he saw that the yacht was not available, Yang Zi, who was half-hanging, and Qian Gang, who was addicted to fish, took two two-meter-six throwing rods and hung them on a fake bait, and then threw them into the nearby waters with a rod.
Unfortunately, the island is surrounded by flat sandy beaches, and there are no reefs that fish like they prefer. The two of them each threw dozens of rods and couldn't even see a scale, and they were very laughed at by Lao Wang.
Yang Zi, who does not believe in evil, recalled the skills that Boss Wu told him last time in the fishing tackle shop, and continued to try all kinds of fake baits and sequins, but unfortunately the situation still did not change.
Xiao Bing saw that the two of them were tossing around there for a long time, and finally smiled and couldn't help but greet them, it turned out that there were often fishermen on the island who fished near here in the past, and over time, the fish in the sea rarely approached this side. Yang Zi It is difficult for them to make a flower here, and it is difficult to gain anything, Qian Gang muttered a sentence after hearing him say this, and then put down the rod in his hand stupidly.
Brother Bing smiled when he saw the depressed expressions of the two, and when he saw that everyone was almost done, he asked Lao Wang and them to clean up the fishing rods, and drove the yacht to another place where there were fish to teach them sea fishing.
After driving the yacht in the sea for more than 20 minutes, Yang Zi and the others came to a small island surrounded by reefs. This island is only about two or three hundred meters in circumference, and the island is full of strange rocks, and there is not even a single tree on the bare island. Many seabirds have built some nests here, and they can be seen swooping down to catch fish from time to time.
Xiao Bing found a position more than 100 meters away from the island, put down the sight, and then walked to the stern of the boat and began to teach them a few novice sea fishers.
He first checked everyone's fishing tackle, and saw that there was no problem with the equipment or anything, so Xiao Bing talked to everyone about the selection of bait and some small techniques for casting rods to lure fish. Yang Zi, who has a lot of basic knowledge, understood what Xiao Bing said as soon as he heard it, and after adjusting his fishing rig according to what Xiao Bing said, he picked up the fishing rod and threw it towards a water area close to the reef.
With the inertia, the fishing group accurately landed at the predetermined place after flying dozens of meters, Yang Zi shook the reel a few times, retracted the fishing line a little, and then teased the fake bait in the water according to the method he had just learned.
Although the inability to use the bait in the mall has reduced Yang Zi's chances of hitting the fish a lot, the bonus of himself and the fishing rod has been as high as 31%, and after the rod went down, he controlled the fake bait and swam for more than ten meters, and the tip of the rod sent a signal of the middle fish.
After feeling the strength coming from the water, Yang Zi hurriedly lifted the rod to stab the fish, because it was the first time to try this fishing method, he didn't have any feel at all at first, and the fish on the hook made him look very excited. Although this fish should not be very big, it is not the first fish he has gone out to catch in such a serious way.
He delicately manipulates the rod to control the direction of the fish in the water, preventing it from scurrying into the reef and getting tangled in the line. Qian Gang next to him saw that Yang Zi was caught in the fish, and he hurriedly dropped the fishing tackle that he had packed halfway up, ran to the side, and took a super-large copy net to prepare to copy the fish.
As the line was retracted, the fish that had been struggling in the water for a few minutes soon came into view. Yang Zi thought it was a freshwater perch he had caught, because they looked very similar except for their slender bodies and mouths.
Xiao Bing walked over and took a look at it and told him with a smile that this is called flower perch, which is a kind of sea bass, and the meat is very delicious.
This perch is about three or four catties, and after Yang Zi slipped it aside, Qian Gang immediately fished it up with a net. As the first fish that everyone caught at sea, this perch was preserved by Qian Gang after taking a few photos, saying that it was kept as a souvenir.
Yang Zi smiled happily after looking at the prompt that had just flashed in his mind, put away the rod in his hand, and threw it towards the water just now.
As soon as the old Wang Zhang Bo and Li Zhen on the side saw that Yang Zi had already begun to fish, they were still listening to the class, and they were a little anxious, and they hurriedly prepared the fishing rod and stood on the side of the yacht and began to try to cast the rod.
However, their skills and techniques are really enough, and each of them only threw a few rods and wasted a few fake baits and strings because they hung on the reef. Qian Gang on the side could be regarded as having found an opportunity, he laughed and mocked a few people on the side, and took revenge on the arrow in front of him very happily.
There are really a lot of fish in this place chosen by Xiao Bing, although everyone made a lot of low-level mistakes in the giggling and laughing sound, but after slowly catching it, several people have their own harvest.
Yang Zi gradually got used to the way of sea fishing after catching the perch, and after he found the rhythm, he began to change the bait after a few rods, hoping to catch as many fish species as possible to enrich his collection.
So in the following time, many kinds of fish species such as black sea bream, big white wax, Tsing Yi, pomfret and so on appeared one after another. If it weren't for Xiao Bing to introduce everyone, they really wouldn't be able to name a few fish when they were confused.
At this time, it was slowly approaching noon, and seeing that the fish caught by everyone was very good, Xiao Bing did not arrange for everyone to go back to the island for lunch, but made a very authentic whole fish feast for everyone on the boat with simple kitchen utensils with Yang Zi, who took the initiative to come up.
The freshly caught fish were slightly browned in oil, then put in a pot with some ginger slices and water and simmered for half an hour. Wait until the fish soup turns milky white and sprinkle a little salt, pepper and chives, the taste is called a beautiful one, everyone said that this is the most delicious fish soup they have ever tasted.
As for the other steamed pomfret and sea bass fillets, there is no need to mention, although there are not many styles, but the taste is better than what they ate in that small restaurant yesterday, I don't know how many levels, with simple seasonings, this table dish has simply raised everyone's taste buds to a new level.
After eating this delicious sea fish feast, everyone was in a good mood and chatting casually on the deck. Yang Zi and the others talked about this morning's catch, and then asked Brother Bing if there were any slightly larger fish species in the vicinity, and the fish they caught this morning were basically less than ten catties. Although I tasted it, I always felt that it was not too enjoyable, and the iron rods that Yang Zi specially bought had not yet opened.
As soon as the audience said this, Brother Bing smiled and told them that the fish in the shallow sea are basically like this, and in a few days he can take everyone to a slightly farther sea area to catch the slightly larger deep-water fish of the carabolite grouper. If they can't wait, he can also change their place in the afternoon and take them to another area where groupers are infested.
A few people who were being poisoned by fish addiction could not agree with this, and raised their hands one by one to express their approval. Xiao Bing didn't say anything more after seeing that everyone was so interested, put away the anchor, and drove the yacht to set off again, heading to another body of water.
