1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 253: Stone Bream King

This time, not only Liang Ziqiang brought steel fishing line, but the others also upgraded their fishing gear.

The steel fishing line that Liang Tiancheng bought from the county town has been reinstalled, and Zhu Tianpeng also brought his own fishing rod equipped with steel fishing line.

This time it is destined to be a "tough" battle with the spotted sea bream.

They were familiar with the route, and the two boats sailed all the way to Niu Shi Island.

Without saying a word, the first thing he did after parking the boat was not to fish, but to run to the shallow water and the beach to look for green willow clams.

The small clams that are unique to this island have been proven to be very attractive to several species of sea bream last time, so this time they were too lazy to bring too much bait with them.

Except for a little bit as a backup, I plan to use local materials for the rest.

After finding some in the shallow water, they dug into the muddy sand at the bottom of the water. As a result, the green willow clams hiding in the muddy sand were even bigger and fatter.

Several people got excited, and even Liang's father joined in the digging. They didn't look like they were here to fish, but more like they were here to fish for shells.

After digging out most of the green willow clams, I started looking for sandworms. Perhaps using them together would have a better effect.

"Where have all the sandworms gone today?" Zhu Tianpeng asked in confusion as he only found a few of them in the water.

"This is not easy, turn over the stone!"

Liang Ziqiang turned over a stone as he spoke.

Sure enough, the sun was strong today, and many sandworms hid under the rocks to cool off.

There are a lot of sandworms, but in fact, not so many are needed for fishing. Liang Ziqiang got some more and planned to take the unused ones home and give them as snacks to the shrimps in the shrimp pond.

We have fresh baits ready to use, and we go to the reef to start fishing.

This time, I directly smashed the green willow clams and hung them on the hook, and the effect was really different.

It didn't take long before fish started to come up and take the hook.

It was Liang Ziqiang's fishing rod. He quickly pulled it up, and the familiar, teeth-grinding sawing sound echoed in the air.

Surprisingly, the first catch was a very valuable grouper, which was so beautiful that it could outshine some groupers.

"Aqiang, you really have a relationship with the God of Wealth!"

When Zhu Tianpeng was eating noodles at his home earlier, he already knew that he had the same birthday as the God of Wealth. When he saw him catch a grouper with his first net, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"He is an old friend of the God of Wealth. He has been very lucky in the past six months!"

Liang Tiancheng was not surprised at all when he thought about how he had been attracting more and more fish since last year.

Could it be that Zhao Gongming really wants to take care of me today?
Liang Ziqiang thought about it for a while, and then realized that Zhao Caishen was not very kind.

The next time I cast, I caught a goby. The goby was very expensive, even the flathead sea bream, which was at the bottom of the sea bream list, was much more expensive than it.

Why are you, a shrimp goby, joining in the fun on this island reef where there are many sea breams? Is this where you should stay?

After the gobies, there came the sea bream, but after several casts, they were all flat sea bream.

Liang Ziqiang felt that today's performance had an amazing start, but it was a downturn afterwards, a typical high opening and low closing!
The two people who had originally praised him for his connection with Zhao Gongming also consciously shut up. This performance was a bit embarrassing for the God of Wealth...

However, the eldest brother Liang Tiancheng caught three bull dung sea breams in a row, and then caught a Bao Gong.

"Did Mr. Zhao Gongming recognize the wrong person today? You two brothers look somewhat similar..." Zhu Tianpeng laughed.

"You don't know this. I just said hello to the God of Wealth and asked him to take care of my elder brother today. I also told him to catch some grouper and black-haired fish later." Liang Ziqiang said nonsense seriously.

It was just a joke, but after a while, Liang Tiancheng actually brought up a sea bream with stripes all over its body, a spotted sea bream!
"Let me see how long you can bite!"

The eldest brother was very happy. He was not in a hurry to pick the fish, and let the big spotted sea bream bite it with its teeth to make money.

After changing the wire, no matter how hard I bit the fish, it wouldn't bite off. The fish became very angry and kept swinging in the air.

The crunching sound was too much for Liang's father to bear, and he rolled his eyes to the clouds on the island:
"Why are you still competing with the fish? You're making a fool of yourself!"

Seeing this, Zhu Tianpeng turned around and begged Liang Ziqiang: "Why don't you just ask him to share some of his fortune with me, not just the spotted sea bream, but at least a few more Bao Gong fish!"

None of these people said a serious word, except Liang's father, who was as steady as a rock, sitting there fishing, unmoved.

After a while, Liang Ziqiang caught a bucket of flathead fish and was about to vomit.

It seems that he has the most fish, but a whole bucket can only be sold for a few dollars! Now in terms of money, he is probably the one who has the least fish.

He was beginning to doubt whether his luck had really been diverted today...

At this moment, the fishing rod slid down suddenly, and he didn't pay attention, and the fishing rod almost fell into the water.

He quickly used a little effort to lift the fishing rod up.

"Damn it, Aqiang!" The eldest brother's voice followed, "You either don't come, or you scare me when you come!"

It's a spotted sea bream, and the key point is that it's too fat. It looks like it weighs about five or six kilograms!

The grouper they caught earlier weighed only about a pound, and the smaller ones only weighed a few ounces.

The fish Liang Ziqiang caught was so big that it was probably heavier than all the grouper sea bream they had caught before combined!

Is this really what it means to be silent or to make a big splash?
This turnaround was so sudden that even Liang Ziqiang himself did not expect it.

He had no time to be happy. He did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately threw the fish towards the bucket.

The fish's teeth were bigger and sharper, and they kept biting the steel fishing line. This time the sound was too loud and harsh.

Liang Ziqiang was afraid that even if he used steel wire, it would still be bitten off by its teeth.

Fortunately, he managed to get the fish off before the line broke. The fish was very brave, and it kept moving violently in his hand, as if it wanted to challenge him.

After it was thrown into the bucket, there were a few more popping sounds in the bucket. It was estimated that it had started to bully the flathead fish in the bucket.

"There are actually King Snappers hiding in this place? It would be great if there were two more!"

The spotted rock bream is valuable, and the big rock bream weighing five or six kilograms is not only a matter of weight, but the price per kilogram should also be slightly higher. The bigger it is, the rarer it is.

Of course, the Stone Snapper King doesn't come so easily.

Neither Liang Ziqiang himself nor the others encountered such a fat grouper again.

After lunch, when I continued fishing, the frequency of fish being caught seemed to decrease a bit.

It’s not that the green willow clam bait is not attractive enough, but the island reef is so big. After they have come here to fish continuously, there are not so many sea breams left.

I also caught some flat sea bream, black sea bream, and occasionally a few cow dung sea bream, which brought some surprises.

But for some reason, Bao Gong bream is really rare today. Liang Ziqiang has not caught a single Bao Gong so far, and the three of them have only caught a few.

Although there was a fat grouper at the end, the overall quality of the fish caught today was quite average...

As for the top-quality black fish, it is even more difficult to come by, and none of the four people have caught it yet.

After a while, Liang's father chuckled.

From this morning till now, Liang's father had remained motionless and didn't participate much in their jokes. It was a bit sudden that he suddenly laughed.

Turning around, it's no wonder that he couldn't hold it anymore and caught a black fish!
It is not big, probably only a few taels, but it is full of black hair after all, and its price is not comparable to these sea breams.

Since I caught a black fish here last time, it means there can’t be only one or two here. If I wait patiently, I’ll have a chance.

After catching a flathead sea bream and a bull dung sea bream, Liang Ziqiang finally caught a black-haired fish.

"Hey, why does your black hair look different?"

Liang's father was sitting right next to us. He looked over here and was surprised after taking a few more glances.

Liang Ziqiang also discovered that compared to the two black-haired fish he had luckily caught a few days ago, this black-haired fish was really different...
