Chapter 172: Quack on the Fish

The purchase of the boat was quite a big move, not only the people in the village knew about it, but even some people from the next village came to join in the fun.

After visiting the fishing boat, and returning to the shore, Tong Guoqi and Tong Junqiang also lit firecrackers at the pier, crackling, and worshiped Mazu.

As long as you buy a new ship, you basically have this set of procedures, and Zhang Ze is not surprised.

After returning home, the village chief came over and vaguely expressed whether he wanted a boatman or not, and that he could pick a few people from the village to help.

Zhang Ze's side is different from the Tong family, the Tong family has four men, and a trawler can barely work.

He's alone on his side, and the ship is bigger, so he definitely needs a boatman according to his idea.

The village chief didn't want to take care of this matter at first, but several families in the village approached him and asked him to help as a lobbyist.

If you don't come here in person, naturally you usually don't have much to do with Zhang Ze.

And the village chief also thought that Zhang Ze himself needed to find someone, so he came over to mention it.

But this matter was rejected by him, if he recruited a shipwright, then why didn't he go to sea with the boat a month ago. Don't you just want to fish quietly by yourself, and use the function of the space instantly.

"Kimber, it's not that I don't want to recruit people, it's that I really don't need it here. I just put down the longline and a few cages, and when I have free time, I go fishing, and I really don't need anyone. ”

Jin Luping was stunned after hearing this: "You just put down a few longlines and a few cages, so why buy such a big boat?" If you don't go online, how much money can you make when you go to sea? ”

"I used to be like this in Warm Water, when the boat was fifteen meters long. I buy big ships mainly because small boats can't go far away, and the offshore resources are like that, no matter how busy I work, I can't make a few dollars, and there are more offshore resources. ”

"I used to catch some grouper for sale, and I plan to do the same here."

Zhang Zedu said so, Jin Luping is not good to mention the shipwright again, he came over to recommend it to several families, and now he is not recruiting, so what else is there to say.

"Kimber, though I don't recruit people. But in the future, I can ask the villagers to repair the longlines and cages that I will need in the future. Every time the fishing boat comes back, it needs to be cleaned, and I can also find the village where it is more difficult to get around. ”

"It's okay, it's such a big ship, you have to work all day if you don't find someone to clean it."

After the village chief left, Zhang Ze rode a tricycle to Jin Sanbao's house, and the six longlines had already been prepared.

Knowing that after he came back to pick up the boat, Jin Sanbao's family also deliberately put the longlines in the bamboo basket one by one, and arranged the threads one by one, and hung the hooks one by one on the outside of the big bamboo basket to facilitate the bait.

Because there were six, there were six large bamboo baskets, and they were almost full of his yard.

Zhang Ze came over to prepare to transport the longline to the ship, and every time he ran out in the future, he would bring it back to their home to repair it.

On the morning of the second day, Zhang Ze was going to go to sea to test the ship, and today he would not go directly to the open sea.

Although the new ship has been tested and there is no problem, he still has to familiarize himself with the Duo Fish in the offshore waters, and make sure that there are no problems at all before he can go to the open sea with confidence.

Go to the wharf first and collect some bait from the fishermen who came back, because there are many fishermen who come back in the morning, so Zhang Ze will collect a little here and a little there.

Many families accept it, and others don't know how much bait he has received.

When he came to his boat, he brought a few large bamboo baskets and put the ordinary bait he had exchanged in.

He had prepared 3,000 servings, which he was going to hang on the longline with the large amount of bait he had bought in the morning.

Zhang Ze, who has two longlines with a length of 200 meters, is not going to use it today, and it is difficult for him to find a place where the water is deep and there are fish in the offshore water.

The worship of Mazu and the setting off of firecrackers were done yesterday, but today it is deserted.

But after a while, Jin Sanbao came with his family, which was specially ordered by Zhang Ze to let his family come over to help hang the bait, six longlines and five yuan.

But today there were only four hangings, and he also gave five.

After a few shirks, he accepted the money, he has many brothers, so his parents can't help much, after all, he can't take care of this or that, and it's already very powerful to help their brothers marry wives.

In addition, he has many children of his own, a total of six. Even if raising children now is not as expensive as in later generations, the family has a lot of food and drink a month, so they need money very much, and he remembers Zhang Ze's disguised help in the bottom of his heart.

When Jin Sanbao's family left, Zhang Ze started the Duoyu and followed the river into the sea.

Standing in the cab, he was a little excited, starting today, he can see all kinds of precious fish in the South China Sea!

Nanguang is not far from Dongsha Island, and he estimates that he will go fishing there most of the time in the future.

Although Xisha Island is more famous, it is too far away, and with the current fish resources, he really doesn't need to go.

Because the fish that can be caught in Xisha can basically be caught in Dongsha.

Today, Zhang Ze was walking around the coastal waters, and the endurance of 500 nautical miles was completely enough for waves, but yesterday he filled up the oil once, which cost him more than 1,200 oceans.

Even if he suddenly took out so much money at once, it hurt so much that his heart twitched, so he had to save it.

Soon, the Duoyu entered the sea from the mouth of the Pearl River, where Zhang Ze could see many fishermen busy at sea.

His boat is more eye-catching, and after it came out, it attracted the attention of many fishermen.

Even Zhang Ze saw Jin Fan and his father, so he deliberately turned around and said hello.

He then continued his voyage into the distance.

Although I was going to fish inshore, I didn't plan to get this close.

Most of the fishermen such as Jin Fan catch here are schools of low-priced fish, crabs, squid, etc., and the main thing is to take the volume.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch big bass, big eel and even grouper, but not in large numbers.

On the way, Zhang Ze would approach some small islands or coral reef areas from time to time, and then observe the fish resources through the fish finder.

However, there are many fishermen who may fish in the coastal waters, and the resources of the places they pass through are relatively ordinary.

So Zhang Ze continued to sail east, to a slightly farther place.

Go farther, see the waters that small wooden hull boats can't reach.

After about an hour and a half of driving, the Fishes came to a position about twenty nautical miles from the shore.

This is also almost the dividing line between the near sea and the high sea, and Zhang Ze plans to find a suitable fishing spot nearby.

The waters outside Nanguang were very unfamiliar to Zhang Ze, and he didn't know if there were any fishing spots with more resources nearby, so the fishing boat continued to sail southeast to see if he could find a suitable spot.

Another ten minutes passed, and the Multifish came to a body of water nearly 100 meters deep.

The fish finder can clearly show how deep it is, and Zhang Ze doesn't need to measure it at all.

But that's not the point, the point is that a large red signal appears at the bottom of the fish finder screen, which indicates that there is a large group of fish gathered underwater.

Sure enough, it would be nice to have a fish finder, if only he himself could have known that there were fish here.

Now that he found a good location, Zhang Ze stopped the boat and decisively put two longlines here.

The water was empty, and the Fishes was moving slowly, while he stood at the stern of the ship and used the longline winch to slowly lower the longline.

A longline was put away, Zhang Ze came to the cab and drove dozens of meters to the side, and then continued to put another longline down.

The two longlines were placed, and Zhang Ze drove in the shallow direction according to the depth display on the fish finder.

After driving more than 200 meters, the water depth has changed from about 100 meters to more than 50 meters, and it is obvious that the underwater terrain is a slope.

But to Zhang Ze's surprise, although the fish did not form a group along the way, they were always displayed on the fish finder.

As the fishing boat continued to sail forward, a coral reef looming out of the water appeared in front of him, and it dawned on him that it was no wonder that the resources here were so good.

It seems that I was lucky today, and I was able to find a good fishing spot when I wandered around the sea.

But it's not bad, it's far from being comparable with the Dongsha of later generations, let alone the current Dongsha.

After approaching the reef, the fish finder showed a noticeable increase in fish, and the longline must have been placed nearby.

Zhang Ze walked around the sea and chose today's fishing spot and the location to wait for the longline to be released.

In order to keep his fishing from being affected by the bait on the longline, he decided to cast the longline on the west side of the reef and then go fishing on the east side.

Because the fishing boat was on the east side of the coral reef just after going around in a circle, Zhang Ze simply took out the bait that he had bought in the morning and some of the remaining bait, and scattered some of it to make a nest.

Then I drove the boat to the other side to put the longline, and when the longline was put away, I came back to play a good role.

The two longlines were put away, and when he returned to the position of the nest, Zhang Ze sprinkled some bait again.

Tuna fishing requires a large number of fish to form a nest to attract them, but this is not necessary on the reef side.

The nest material does not need to be sprinkled with money, it is not called nesting but fish farming.

This time, after sprinkling the nest material, Zhang Ze immediately took out the fishing rod, installed the base on the side of the boat, and put the fishing rod on it.

Hook up a regular bait that you can redeem in the space and start fishing.

I've been in Nanguang for a while, but because I haven't been to sea much, the space hasn't been upgraded at all, and the experience value hasn't increased much.

But from now on, he believed that the spatial level would enter a state of steady but not slow escalation.

At this time, the nest has attracted many fish in the vicinity, and when the ordinary bait enters the water, several fish are immediately attracted.

These fish are as small as a catty, and the big ones are more than a dozen catties.

The fish didn't care about the food from the sky, and they all rushed to the ordinary bait.

Before Zhang Ze could take a cup of water to drink, the small bell he hung on the fishing rod jingled.

Hang a bell to remind him that he is on the fish, so that he doesn't have to keep an eye on the rod all the time.

Zhang Ze saw that the curve of the fishing rod was not small, so he hurriedly grabbed it and lifted it up, and the fishing rod suddenly turned into a big curved bow.

The hook, which was not deep enough, suddenly pierced the lip of the fish and was firmly fixed on it.

If you successfully stab a fish, 99% of the fish will not be able to escape.

After Zhang Ze felt the pull of the fish, he grabbed the rod with both hands and stalemate with the fish for a while, waiting for it to explode in the first round.

The strength is not small, according to his experience, it should be a big commodity of ten pounds.

This kind of big color is quite fierce when it first starts to burst into strength, and it is not so easy to close the line.

But after holding on, it was not so difficult to catch it, and after two or three minutes, Zhang Ze began to reel in the line and drag the fish back.

The run is not very far, only more than 30 meters of fishing line, and the fish will be pulled to the surface of the water in a while.

It is a yellow-green fish, and you can tell that it is a parrotfish at first glance.

Pulling the fish to the side of the boat, Zhang Ze locked the fishing boat to unload, and then picked up the net next to him and copied the fish.

[Successfully caught a small green-nosed parrotfish, weighing 11.33 catties, experience +10.] 】

Zhang Ze put the fish into the space, and when he saw the scientific name of the fish, he raised his eyebrows, and it turned out to be a fake Tsing Yi.

There are four fish kings on Hong Kong Island, Tsing Yi is one of them, and the fake Tsing Yi is used by fishermen to fool people who don't understand.

However, even if it is fake, the price of this fish is not cheap, and the fresh fish can be sold for about 100 yuan a catty in later generations, which is fifty or sixty cheaper than Zhengqingyi.

But now, the price of this parrotfish is quite average, seven cents and three pounds, and this one can be sold for more than eight yuan.

A fish is more than eight yuan, and in the eyes of later generations, it is like selling eight or nine hundred, which is already a lot.

Take out a portion of regular bait and continue.

If you make a nest at a good fishing spot and use a magic bait, you will definitely get a quack.

No, as soon as the bait was thrown into the water, the bell on the fishing rod rang again, and a bigeye sea bream of about three catties flew up directly by him.

Bigeye is a species of sea bream that prefers to flock in groups, and mainly inhabits coral reefs or reef areas surrounded by sediment.

It is a nocturnal fish, usually likes to hide in some cave crevices or relatively dark places, and under normal circumstances, it will come out to look for food at night, mainly feeding on small fish, small shrimp, crabs, etc.

But with the presence of magical bait, it's not surprising that they appear in broad daylight.

The specific name of the one caught by Zhang Ze is long-tailed bigeye bream, and he has fished short-tailed bigeye in the East China Sea before, the difference is the tail.

Closing the space, Zhang Ze found that the experience value it provided was the same as that of bigeye caught in the East China Sea, and the estimated actual price was about the same.

As soon as the fish came, there was a group of them, and he directly turned on the flying fish mode next.

When the fishing rod is so good, catching two or three catties of fish can't be the same as fishing two or three hundred catties, where to grind and chirp for most of the day?

Just after Zhang Ze flew more than a dozen bigeye breams in a row, the fishing rod suddenly sank and bent down in an extremely exaggerated amplitude.

He clutched the rod so hard that he didn't even lift it. But this made him look excited, this is a big fish!

At this moment, the rod bounced violently with a "whoosh", and the line with the hook broke directly out of the water and bounced high into the air, and then fell to the deck.

As for the bait, it's gone!

"Damn, the hook is too small!" Zhang Ze's face was full of chagrin, since he got the fishing rod given by the space, it was the first time he had unhooked.

The small fish was fine, but it was distressing to think about such a large fish being unhooked, and he hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time.

This is a coral reef, and it is in Nanguang, and it is very likely that it was a giant grouper, that is, a dragon grouper.

But no matter how annoyed he was, Zhang Ze could only change to a big hook and adjust the fishing rod to a hard tone.

As for the bait, Zhang Ze looked at the exclusive bait of the dragon in the mall, and finally thought about it and tried it with ordinary bait.

In case it wasn't a dragon grouper, it would have been run away, and the probability of ordinary bait attracting fish was not high, but at least there was no risk of guessing wrong.
