Chapter 143 Fish from Xingdao Strait

"crunch."

The fish was caught, and the tip of the rod was pulled straight down.The speed at which the fishing line is released is not bad, and it seems that the fish will not be too small.

"This fish doesn't feel small." Li Xinyue also installed the two electric reaming rods now, and threw out the iron bait hanging on it. The wheels can't be pulled."

"It shouldn't be a big problem. The maximum take-up force of this electric winch is 56KG. As long as you don't catch a particularly large fish, you can basically pull it back. If it doesn't work, you can cooperate manually!"

There is also a crank handle next to the electric winch, which can cooperate with the take-up line, that is, if the fish does not eat the bait deeply, it is easier to unhook.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he concentrated his attention on pulling the fish he caught. The fish was not small and he had a lot of strength. He couldn't pull it back quickly for the time being.

The fishing line was trembling all the time, and the water surface was rippled from time to time.

After about three or four minutes, feeling the strength of the fish weakened, Qin Feng immediately pulled the fishing rod back hard to see if the fish was really tired and was resting, or if it still had a certain amount of energy.

Being pulled in pain, Yu, who wanted to rest for a while, instinctively began to struggle again, but this struggle only lasted for a minute.

When it wanted to stop, Qin Feng began to pull again, which made the fish very annoying, but unfortunately the strength of the struggle became weaker every time, and the distance from the boat gradually became closer.

Qin Feng felt that the fish basically had no strength to struggle, so he officially started to exert strength, and the handle was turned and flew up, and soon a fish lying on its side appeared on the water.

Pulling to the side of the boat, Qin Feng saw that the fish was only fifty or sixty centimeters in length, so he didn't need Li Xinyue to get the net, he just grabbed the fishing line with both hands and lifted it up.

"This should be Ganzai, right?" Li Xinyue squatted down and observed it carefully, and said a little uncertainly.

"It should be." Qin Feng is also observing and identifying it. It is a fish with a blue-green upper part and a silver belly. Its body is flat like a pomfret.

Therefore, although it is fifty or sixty centimeters long, its actual weight is only about six or seven catties.

It also has stripes on its body, a bit like a zebra.

Pingxian Ruogui, that is, Ganzai fish in Li Xinyue's mouth.This fish is suitable for making sashimi and clear soup, and has a high economic value.

I saw it in the supermarket over Changi before, and it can sell for [-] SGD per catty.

The one he caught today is quite big, the largest of which is 75 centimeters, and most of them are only about [-] centimeters or even smaller.

Then Qin Feng took out the iron bait and threw it into the live water tank.

They will arrive at the first island within three days, and they can be sold directly at that time, so there is no need to store them in a refrigerated cabin.

Ganzai usually move in small groups, and since one is caught, it means there are more below.

Qin Feng didn't waste his precious time, and felt that he would throw the iron bait out and continue fishing.

But at this time, the electric winch on Li Xinyue's side also moved, but the speed of reeling in the wire was very slow, so the fish probably wouldn't be too small.

And when the fishing line of the electric reel was retracted halfway, Qin Feng was hit again.

This time, the hand felt very heavy, and the fish was huge. Just when Qin Feng wanted to stab the fish, a big silver-white fish at the meter level suddenly jumped out of the sea in the distance.

"Wow, it's so big!" Li Xinyue exclaimed, but the next moment, she showed a regretful look, "Oh, what a pity, why did you get uncoupled!"

"This fish is very smart, the bait is not deep enough to eat, and it threw the iron bait out with a jump." Qin Feng was full of foolishness, but in fact, he put the fish into the water tank as soon as it fell into the water .

Because the fish could not be seen clearly in the distant water, the moment the fish disappeared, everyone only noticed a trace of silver disappearing in an instant, and thought it had run into the water.

"Well, as long as it doesn't run away, we still have a chance to catch it." Li Xinyue didn't know the specific situation, so she comforted Qin Feng.

"Yeah!" Seeing that his daughter-in-law is so cute, Qin Feng couldn't help taking off his gloves, pinched her face through the face towel, and then took back the fishing line, checked the iron bait, and threw it back when he found that there was no problem. into the water.

The first fish didn't have a chance to be put into the tank just now, but this one finally gave him a chance.

Then, he checked the fish's information.

【Long-kissed trevally】

[Weight: 26.32 catties]

[Time required for growth: 5 hours and 59 minutes]

This fish looks a bit ugly and has a flat body.Therefore, although it is one meter long, it weighs only 26 catties.

But this kind of fish is also very delicious. Although it is not as good as the Ganza just now, it is better in size and can grow up to 1.65 meters.

Now the growth multiple of small and medium-sized fish tanks has reached 2.8 times. It is estimated that this silky trevally can grow to 1.65 meters or even exceed it, and then it can be sold at a premium.

The price of this fish is relatively cheap, only [-] SGD per catty at Changi.

But then Qin Feng and the others will sell it on the first island they land on, and the price may be even lower.

There is no way, Lynch and the others will never come here to collect fish, and the price of selling it to fishmongers will naturally be lower.

The time gradually came to around noon, and the temperature on the sea surface became very hot, and the fish schools below also dispersed due to the increase in temperature.

Seeing that there were no fish to catch, Qin Feng and Li Xinyue put away their fishing rods and began to count the catch.

All the fish caught in the morning were put into the living water tank, and the two counted them. There were six sapphires, three long-nose trevally, and five sea bass. They caught all of them in about two hours.

However, there are five other fish in Qin Feng's water tank, two silk trevally and three sweet larvae, all of which were brought in when everyone was not paying attention.

Although the number is not large, he is not in a hurry.Night is a good time to cheat, he just needs to put the fish in the tank every night to grow and replace.

After a simple meal at noon, they continued to set off.

However, after only an hour of driving, a piece of bare mangrove mud on the shore in the distance caught Qin Feng's attention.

He asked Li Xinyue to lean over and stop the boat at a deep water not far from the mangrove mud. Then he took out the rubber boat to inflate it, took out the crab cage and put it on the rubber boat, put the bait on it, and he took it off. Shoes and socks are ready to be docked by boat.

"You want to put crab pots here?" Li Xinyue asked.

"Well, there should be a lot of blue crabs in this mangrove forest. I'll go and check the situation. If there are any, put the crab pots here today. There will definitely be a big harvest tomorrow."

"Okay, then let me help you!"

Li Xinyue was about to take off her shoes and go to help, but was stopped by Qin Feng.

"I'll go over and take a look and put down the crab cage and I'll come back. You don't have to go over there, lest you get your feet dirty."

"Alright then, be careful."

After letting a few people rest on the boat, Qin Feng came to this muddy land by himself.

Although blue crabs are not as good as lobsters, their economic value is also very high, and they can be sold at a high price no matter which country they are in.

Of course, places like Australia say otherwise.In these places, even lobster is the price of cabbage, let alone blue crab.

Qin Feng didn't put the crab pots in immediately, but got off the boat to observe first.

This place should be covered by sea water at ordinary times, and the mud is so soft that it will directly submerge the calf when you step down.

Qin Feng didn't have his father's experience, so every step was strenuous. Fortunately, he was young and didn't plan to go far, so he didn't feel tired.

After roughly scanning around, I found that there are indeed many crab holes here, and it seems that there is a wave of wool.

Then Qin Feng was about to go back to the boat to get the crab cage. Just as he was about to lift his foot, he realized that there was something wrong with the muddy ground in front of him.

I walked over and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was a big blue crab hiding on the surface of the soil.

As for the blue crab, Qin Feng has always been steadfast, and directly stretched out his hand to press the crab shell hard, and with the other hand, he grabbed the life gate of the blue crab, which is the gap between the crab legs behind it, and then grabbed it.

Oh, the crab shell alone is as big as his palm, and it must weigh more than two catties. This is the first time he has seen such a big blue crab.

It seemed that this was a caught fish, and he took advantage of it.

As for this piece of mangroves, no one patronizes?
Qin Feng doesn't believe this. Xingdao is just as big as P. Anyone with experience in such a mangrove muddy land knows that there are blue crabs here, and they will definitely come here to catch them often.

It's just that there shouldn't be too many people coming to catch them, so there are such big blue crabs that make Qin Feng cheaper.

Throwing the blue crab into the rubber boat, it immediately shrank in the corner, as if this could give it a sense of security.

Qin Feng ignored it, took out a crab pot, put the bait in it, and placed it in a place submerged by sea water.

Then he got on the boat and put down a crab pot every 20 meters until all five crab pots were down, and then he drove the rubber boat back to the fishing boat.

"Yueyue, go and get the tie."

"Good~"

Back on the boat, he first pulled out the water pipe on the side of the boat to wash his feet, and when Li Xinyue brought the cable tie, he went to catch the blue crab, first washed it with water, and then tied the two large tongs with the cable tie. up.

Tie crabs are generally divided into light ropes and heavy ropes. Light ropes are tied with cable ties, rubber bands or a nylon rope like Qin Feng is doing now.

The heavy rope is the kind where you buy crabs and go home, and after you untie the rope, you find that the rope is full of threes and fours.

Many people think that the latter is deceptive, and some may indeed be a little deceptive, but only a little.

In fact, the price of the heavy rope will be lower, about 10 or 20 yuan per catty compared with the light rope.

So if you calculate the price difference, it is basically the same.

The main reason for the heavy rope is to lower the price on the surface, so that people feel that it is cheaper and more acceptable.

"Qin Feng, I found that the seafood in foreign countries is generally larger than the ones encountered in our own country. The fish just now are, and so are the blue crabs now." Li Xinyue looked at the big blue crab weighing two catties, and said with emotion.

Qin Feng shook his head: "No way, it was caused by overfishing in the past few years in China."

"Things that can make money, everyone is blinded into it. It's not like Australia. If there are too many rabbits, they can't be wiped out." Li Xinyue sighed again.

Qin Feng laughed when he heard the words: "If rabbits in Australia do not need transportation costs, and the Bering Sea allows fishermen in our country to fish, believe it or not, these species that are flooded by foreign populations will be listed as endangered species in a few years! "

Li Xinyue couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling when she heard the words: "That is, who made our country a big food country, plus the large population!"

In the afternoon, a few people sat in the lounge chatting and laughing, and did not prepare to continue fishing until after dinner and the temperature dropped.

When Qin Feng came to the deck, he felt that the sea breeze at night was a bit cold, so he went to the bedroom to put on his coat, and found a coat of Li Xinyue by the way.

"It's windy at night, so wear more clothes."

"Ok!"

The temperature drops at night, but they don't need to wear face towels and sun hats, which is more comfortable for them.
