Chapter 42: Mackerel is worthless
More and more people gather at the wharf for fishing, fishing, and casting nets, which is very lively.
Zhao Jun can only cast the net to the upper layer of small mackerel, which is not big, basically about fifteen centimeters.
Chu Mingcheng fished for the lower layer of big mackerel, and there were a lot of them, but each one was more than twenty-five centimeters, and all of them were fat.
In just over twenty minutes, he had already caught nineteen, almost one a minute, and the speed of the hook was fast.
There are at least forty or fifty minutes left before the sun sets completely, and the mackerel will not leave during this time.
In other words, he is lucky to have a rod all the time, and he can at least catch more than 30 catties.
Of course, so many mackerel are alarming not only humans, but also many more predators living in the sea.
Occasionally, large fish can be found near the pier because small fish tend to gather on this side of the pier and attract them to hunt.
As a result, several large fish appeared in the lower waters, which were invisible.
Don't look at the mackerel in the lower layer, it is not small, but as soon as they open their mouths and swallow it, they instantly bite half of a mackerel more than 20 centimeters in an instant, and then swallow it again.
There are also smaller predators who can't swallow such a large mackerel, so they swim to the pelagic layer to hunt small mackerel.
Chu Mingcheng didn't know what was going on underwater, its sinking Mino was swinging under the water to attract fish to take the bait!
Originally, he wanted to attract mackerel, but the movement attracted the attention of a large grouper nearby.
It is attracted by mackerel, but mackerel swim fast and it is not easy for it to hunt it.
And the speed of the submerged Mino at this moment was not fast, so it immediately shifted its target.
Chu Mingcheng, who was standing on the boat, shook the Lu Ya rod slightly, and his right hand grasped the crank handle and turned it slowly, and the line was not closed quickly.
"Huh~"
The fishing line was tense in vain, Chu Mingcheng subconsciously raised the rod to stab the fish, and the fishing line quickly cut the water surface and made a pleasant water cutting sound.
"Eh~"
This time it was different from the previous strength, and the unprepared Chu Mingcheng was almost pulled off the boat, but fortunately, he reacted in time and stepped on the side of the boat to stabilize it.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Zhao Jun noticed the movement and hurriedly came over and asked.
"It's okay, I've caught a big fish!" Chu Mingcheng replied while wrestling with the fish in the water.
From time to time, the line in the spinning wheel was pulled out, but he didn't dare to push too hard, for fear that the line would break or the rod would be blown up.
After he reacted, he knew that he had caught a big fish, which was stronger than the twenty catties of herring and silver carp he had caught before.
This made Chu Mingcheng frightened, as a fishing newcomer, he only knew how big a fish to use and a thicker fishing line.
He doesn't believe in fishing with a fine rod, it's not that he can't fish, but he needs skills and an understanding of fish movements, which requires enough experience to accumulate!
But this will drive ducks to the shelves, and Chu Mingcheng will not be able to do it.
The tight fishing line continues to have the power to touch the heartstrings, and the thread in the spinning wheel is still being released.
The rod had already bent into the shape of a full moon, which made him nervous and excited.
"Steady, steady, take your time!" Zhao Jun won't cast his net anymore, he didn't dare to pant when he stood next to him, and he looked nervous more nervous than him.
"Squeak squeak~"
"Woo~"
"Squeak squeak~"
After five or six minutes, feeling that the strength in the water had decreased, Chu Mingcheng began to pull the rod back, and then turned the shaker to reel in the line.
The first wave of the fish's strength had passed, and the tension in his heart had relaxed a little.
At first, the power of the fish startled him, but this would have already made Chu Mingcheng understand that the fish he caught might not be as big as he imagined.
As long as you pay attention, you should be able to catch it.
The line is originally inclined downwards, which will gradually parallel, indicating that the fish has been pulled from the lower layer to the upper water.
With a "bang", a huge wave appeared on the sea surface of more than 20 meters, which attracted the attention of many people on the shore.
"it, and the big fish? Hurry up and change the rod and line, what kind of mackerel are you fishing! ”
Some of them are well-equipped, and when they see a big fish, they immediately change their goals and take out their equipment for catching big goods.
Chu Mingcheng naturally also saw the huge splash, as well as the brown figure that glimpsed in shock, and a surprised smile appeared on his face.
But now is not the time to be happy, the fish has not yet been caught!
For the sake of insurance, Chu Mingcheng was not in a hurry to pull the fish back, the fish's resistance was still very strong, and he chose to continue walking the fish first.
Ten minutes later, the big fish was finally walked by him to the fishing boat.
The two people on the boat also saw what kind of fish it was, it was a spotted grouper, that is, blue spotted.
"Haha, Ah Cheng, you are lucky, you said that you came to fish for mackerel, but a grouper came." Zhao Jun moved quickly, and the fish controller pinched the big mouth of the blue spot very accurately, and then lifted the fish to the boat.
Because Chu Mingcheng didn't expect that there would be big fish, the mackerel just lifted the rod, so he didn't bring it to the net.
Fortunately, the fish controller is small and lightweight, and it is directly placed in the fishing box.
"Yes, this blue spot is thirteen pounds and three taels." The blue spots looked about 60 centimeters long, and the belly was round.
Zhao Jun looked at the weight with a fish controller, and his tone was slightly envious.
Wild blue spots can be sold for eighty-one catties, and this one is a thousand.
He had cast the net for so long just now, and the mackerel was almost two baskets full, almost a hundred catties, and he didn't know if he could sell half of the fish.
"Haha, I didn't expect such good luck!" The first time he caught a big grouper, this gave Chu Mingcheng a very good feeling, and now he suddenly looked forward to the sea rod he bought.
Luya rod fishing these big fish made him more or less frightened, for fear that he would not operate well and the fishing line would be broken and the rod would be fried.
Taking Mino off the grouper mouth, seeing the lead wire that was very worn, Chu Mingcheng broke out in a cold sweat.
It's a stroke of luck to be able to catch this spot, and if you delay it for a few more minutes, the rod will break the line.
Chu Mingcheng decided to go back at night to check on the Internet to find out which kind of fishing line is good and wear-resistant, otherwise it will be difficult to catch a big fish, but the fishing line can't bear it, how distressing it is!
The blue spot was temporarily raised by Zhao Jun in the fish box on the boat, at least to ensure that the fish would still be alive when it was sold.
Chu Mingcheng changed the front wire, and did not waste time to continue fishing for mackerel.
In the next period of time, there were people on the shore who were lucky enough to catch big fish, groupers and other predatory fish.
But there were a few people who were a little unlucky and blew up the rod.
It lasts until the sun goes down and the mackerel schools leave.
Zhao Jun couldn't catch a few of them in his net, and Chu Mingcheng also didn't catch a few shots.
"The fish are scattered, let's go back and sell the fish first!"
"Okay!" Chu Mingcheng has no opinion, he will estimate that he has also caught more than fifty catties of mackerel, all of which are quite large, and the smallest one is also twenty centimeters, basically above twenty-five centimeters.
He himself also deliberately stored the mackerel with a particularly large belly, a total of nine, and there were fifteen or sixteen catties here.
He was going to try these for himself and give them away by the way.
Back on the shore, there are a lot of fishmongers collecting fish here.
Chu Mingcheng inquired and found that the small and medium-sized mackerel that Zhao Jun cast his net only charged four yuan a catty, which was too cheap.
However, they also have to be frozen, and they will sell it for about ten yuan when they get it on the market, which is not surprising.
The price of a big one like him is not much higher, eight yuan a catty, which is outrageous.
