Chapter 101: Steel Bars in Water
But even if he lost three row hooks, Zhang Qinghe still couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
Now there is a place to buy fishing lines and hooks, these things are only a few dollars, the focus is on grouper, plus sea red grouper can be sold for at least more than 20 yuan. There are also dozens of catties of fish, and even if they are sold cheaply to aquatic stations, there is an income of a few yuan.
When all the hooks were put back in, it was already half past nine in the evening.
Zhang Ze went back to fishing for groupers, and by the way, he used the remaining eight ordinary bait, which made his harvest quite good.
But after more than an hour, the harvest is getting worse and worse, and the grouper is basically not very visible, but there are a lot of sea bream.
He knew that the time when the grouper was active had passed, and the price of the sea bream was like that, and he couldn't connect the rod when fishing, so he simply beckoned Tong Yuanhang and them to go fishing for hairtail fish.
Hairtail fish are also nocturnal fish, but they are more active than groupers, and they will actively swim to the surface at night to feed.
This is also the reason why the anglers who fish in Zhoushan often fish at night in the East China Sea, and most of the fish are easier to catch at night, and it is more relaxed.
Zhang Ze took a turn in the sea and sighed a little, grouper and sea bream are easy to find, just find a place with reefs, coral reefs or seaweed.
But without a fish finder, it is a bit difficult to find a hairtail.
Zhang Ze naturally has fishing spots with fish in his memory, and he also knows the route of their general migratory activities, but unfortunately it is quite far from here.
It was impossible for him to run that far in order to fish for hairtails, so he finally came to the nearest small island, where he was going to fish, and if he couldn't do it, he used the bait for hairtails to attract them.
After parking the boat, Zhang Ze came to the stern alone as usual.
This time, I used a tenya fish hook, although this hook can catch other fish, but the main design is still for hairtail fish.
The hairtail fish swims vertically at about 60 degrees in the water, and it does not eat bait from the bottom up, unlike other fish that swallow bait from a parallel direction.
Therefore, Tianya's state in the water is actually horizontal, a bit like a fake bait, imitating small fish to attract hairtail fish.
The bait Zhang Ze uses Zhang Qinghe to cut into long strips of mackerel meat, pierce the fish into two spikes on the back, and then tie it tightly with a thin steel wire.
And the small hole that binds the fishing line is also in this direction, so that Tianya can be horizontal.
After tying it up, Zhang Ze put on his overalls gloves and grabbed the fishing line, and threw Tianya into the water along with the bait.
Slowly put the line out, estimated that he felt about ten meters before stopping.
After waiting for a while, the fish didn't move, so he put the line again, this time about five meters.
This is to find the water layer with the fish, and only after finding the water layer will there be a chance to connect the rods.
It's a pity that the water layer has been changed, and even if it is put fifty meters, there is no fish to bite, so Zhang Ze had no choice but to open the magic bait mall and find the exclusive bait with fish.
The price of the exclusive bait with the fish is not high, only 50 points.
When Zhang Ze was about to buy, he unexpectedly found that there was a kind of Tianya ribbon fish exclusive bait at the back, and the price was also fifty points.
The difference is that fifty points can only be purchased in one copy, but this one can be used ten times.
Everything is the same, and the effect is the same, increasing the chance of being hooked by 60% and reducing the chance of other fish being hooked by 30%.
With this bait, Zhang Ze does not need to re-tie the bait after catching a fish every time, and one can be used ten times, which may be more durable than ordinary bait.
The grouper and other fish caught at night had already earned him more than two hundred and twenty experience points, and he simply exchanged two copies, and then took back the line to replace the bait.
After changing into the exclusive bait, Zhang Ze threw Tianya into the water again, still about ten meters away, and then waited patiently.
As long as there is a school of hairtail fish within two nautical miles, he will definitely have a catch.
Just as he imagined, on the other side of the small island, a school of ribbon fish had swam to the upper water layer to feed.
This is a very large group, and if you look at it in the water, you can see that there are countless small steel bars in the water.
When Zhang Ze's exclusive bait fell into the water, more than half of the small steel bars seemed to be enchanted, and they immediately turned around and swam to the other side of the island without continuing to feed.
But the hairtail doesn't swim that fast, and it takes some time to reach the other side.
The most important thing Zhang Ze lacks as a fisherman is patience, which is a kind of patience that can sit from morning to evening and from night to morning even if he has been in the air force.
But Zhang Qinghe didn't have the patience to do this, and he couldn't catch a fish that made him feel that he should change his position, so he put away the hook and ran to the stern.
As soon as he came to the stern, he saw the fishing line in Zhang Ze's hand suddenly shaking, and then he grabbed the fishing line and pulled it violently, making a stinging effect similar to that of a rod.
One of its reactions is to keep shaking its head after biting its prey, and the rod is drawn to let the hook under Tianya pierce it.
After the fishhook pierced in, Zhang Ze began to pull the line, which seemed very relaxed.
His current location is at the junction between the coastal waters and the exclusive economic zone, where the East China Sea ribbon fish are generally not too large.
After a short while, a three-finger-and-a-half-wide Zhoushan ribbon fish in the East China Sea was lifted out of the water.
Under the light, the erect dorsal fin twists with the body, like silk embroidery fluttering in the wind, which is extremely beautiful.
The bright silver body almost blinded Zhang Qinghe's eyes, which made him very surprised: "The hairtail fish turned out to be like this, why is it so different from what I see in the market?" ”
"When the hairtail dies, the silver skin will fall off and lose its luster, so the freshly caught fish will not be the same as what you see in the market." Zhang Ze explained briefly.
In fact, the surface of the hairtail is a layer of skin formed by a special fat, called silver grease.
This is a high-quality fat with high nutritional value, which is very nutritious and has a natural anti-cancer ingredient.
Therefore, those who eat hairtail fish regularly may not get cancer, but the probability will be lower.
Zhang Qinghe didn't seem to understand what he heard, but his main purpose was that there were no fish here, and he felt that he could change places.
"Aze, I didn't catch any fish for a long time just now, is there no fish in the water here?"
"At night, the fish may run to the surface, you will sink the bait to a position of ten meters to see, and change the water layer a few times without biting the hook, but if it doesn't work, I will change the place."
"Okay, then I'll try again."
Zhang Qinghe was still relatively obedient, and when he said this, he nodded and went back to fishing.
The three brothers of Tong Yuanhang actually didn't have much patience, because there were no fish for half a day.
Just as they were about to ask Zhang Ze if he had changed places, the fishing line on Tong Junqiang's side suddenly moved, which made their gradually impetuous hearts suddenly calm down again.
The fish have gathered, so they basically don't change their position.
And the group of hairtail fish that were not attracted by the bait, because most of the same kind left at the moment, some also swam over.
Zhang Ze didn't see the specific situation, otherwise he would definitely sigh at the power of this exclusive bait, and at this moment he had already taken down the hairtail fish and put it into the fishing space.
[Successfully caught a hairtail fish in the East China Sea, weighing 0.43 catties, experience +3.] 】
That's right, don't look at the hairtail fish is quite long, but the weight is really light.
A hairtail fish three or four fingers wide should be the best size, but usually each one is only four to six taels, and his four taels are considered to be normal.
After gaining experience points, Zhang Ze threw this hairtail fish into the bamboo basket next to him, and he couldn't raise the hairtail fish after he landed on the shore, so if he took a batch of live hairtail fish back, even Zhang Qinghe, a little white, would suspect something.
When the number of fish was over, he took it into the cabin where the fish were kept, and there was a batch of ice cubes that he had frozen in the cold storage of the fish station, which could just be used to ice the fish.
There are not many ice cubes, but how much can you catch for two people fishing for hairtail fish, it is definitely enough. Unless the fishing net reaches thousands of catties of fish, then he really has to go back directly.
The Tianya bait, which had been used once, was basically intact, and Zhang Ze threw it into the water again.
When the line sank to about 10 meters, the line suddenly shook slightly, but the tight line became much looser.
Zhang Ze reacted in a timely manner and immediately pulled the fishing line to stab the fish.
This is another situation after the fish is hooked, after other fish bite the hook, it will run down or far away, and after the fish bites the prey, it will swim diagonally upward, so the fishing line shakes and becomes loose The situation is also to draw the rod.
The second one is still about three fingers wide, only a little smaller than the previous one, and it is estimated that most of the hairtail fish in this group are so large.
Next, Zhang Ze entered the connecting rod mode, there were too many fish, and what they caught was a drop in the ocean.
I didn't run to the water, otherwise it would be cooler to throw a net.
But half of Zhang Ze's purpose is to upgrade the space, so he won't use fishing nets when he can fish.
Zhang Qinghe and Tong Yuanhang are also very busy, and this situation of having fish under the hook makes them very happy, this is the happiness of the fisherman.
Sometimes one pulls up, and there is another on the tail, which directly doubles happiness.
But there are also those whose tails are eaten, and this kind of mutilated hairtail fish has to be put separately, either by eating it itself or selling it cheaply.
Zhang Ze did not continue to use the second part after the first exclusive bait with the fish, the bite of the fish is so fierce, why do you need the exclusive bait.
Time passed imperceptibly, and his spatial experience points had been steadily increasing, not only did he quickly make up for the hundred experience he had purchased the bait, but also exceeded more than five hundred, which meant that Zhang Ze had caught more than two hundred hairtail fish.
Looking at the bamboo basket, it was almost overflowing. However, the weight is just over 100 pounds, and it is not heavy.
Zhang Ze put away the fishing hook and put it aside, then grabbed the bamboo basket and dragged it directly to the foredeck.
Zhang Qinghe looked back when he heard the movement, and immediately gasped: "Your fishing speed is too fast!" ”
Zhang Ze glanced at his bamboo basket, which was two-thirds full, but it was actually quite a lot.
"I'm probably lucky, sometimes I always have two or three hairtails hanging from it."
"Three-of-a-kind? That's really lucky, I have two at most, and only a few times. Zhang Qinghe suddenly realized, no wonder there were so many more than himself.
"By the way, why does a hairtail bite the tail of another hairtail?"
"I don't know!" Zhang Ze shook his head and opened the small door of the catch cabin to put the hairtail fish in.
Seeing this, Zhang Qinghe hurriedly took the fish hook and came over to help, and carried the fish in together, and said with a smile: "I thought you knew everything!" ”
"How could I understand everything." Zhang Ze said casually.
In fact, of course he knows about taking fish and eating the same kind, but there are too many new questions about fishing, and he really doesn't want to answer them.
After the bamboo basket was brought in, Zhang Ze opened the old quilt that was spread, revealing twelve foam boxes of about 100 liters.
Eight of them were empty, and four of them were filled with smashed ice.
Zhang Ze opened a foam box and found that the ice inside had barely melted.
Then I got a little ice cube and spread it on the bottom of the empty box and put the hairtail in it.
Put some on the hairtail fish and some ice cubes until the box is full, then close the lid and continue to put one.
For a hundred catties of fish, nearly two boxes were used, and obviously under normal circumstances, the six boxes he was allocated could only hold about 300 catties of hairtail.
But there are also a lot, and the number of hairtail fish caught is certainly not comparable to that caught in nets.
After getting it out, Zhang Ze mentioned to Zhang Qinghe when he returned to the stern of the boat with the bamboo basket: "When your basket is full, remember to come and ask me for help." ”
"That's sure to call you, I'm not going to be able to do it alone." Zhang Qinghe replied with a smile.
