Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 485: A Newbie Gift Pack of Just Over Jin
In the end, he still failed to buy the coordinates, and Ergou honestly drove the yacht to the sea area near Huaniao Island.

They often come here to fish and are very familiar with it.

Moreover, it is close to the shipping route, so trawling and netting are not allowed. In addition, the complex terrain has led to a large number of fish accumulating over a long period of time. It is a popular scene for nearby fishing boats.

"Let's go fishing for some small fish first; the tide is still early."

Xiao Xia started to pour fish pieces into the bait, and the four of them were fishing on the side of a boat and chatting.

“There are more fish when the tide comes in?”

"Well, there are two tides every day, and when they come the fish will suddenly bite harder."

Everyone started to pack up their fishing gear. According to their instructions, they first hung up the dead cuttlefish for fishing and replaced the lead sinker with a 100-gram one.

When the fish bite improves, change to live bait and 300 grams of lead sinker. It is really exaggerated for sea fishing. A 100-gram lead sinker can produce a small bow in freshwater fishing.

"It's really inconvenient without fish finder." Ergou was still cursing.

Forget about finding a school of tuna, at least finding a spot with high density would be nice. Now it all depends on luck.

Fortunately, there are still a lot of fish here.

"The water is about forty deep,"

Qin Dahe cast the first rod, feeling quite excited, wondering what kind of fish this rod could give him.

"Okay, let's make a connection." Xiao Xia chuckled and started to turn the wheel, but from his relaxed look, it was clear that the fish was not big.

Soon, a small fish was pulled up, but it quickly began to inflate, and its surface was covered with spines.

"I caught a small pufferfish. What bad luck." He unhooked the hook with pliers and tossed it back into the sea. "This thing is poisonous. No one will take it." He even explained this to Qin Dahe.

"I know. I've fished it in the Yangtze River. It loves to bite the line."

"Haha, yes, this junky thing is worthless and likes to bite the line."

Feeling the fishing rod in his hand move, he was delighted and waited silently for the catch.

Fishing for sea fish should be similar to fishing for loaches, and he has some experience.

I waited for a few seconds before lifting the rod and turning the reel. As soon as the rod tightened, I felt excited.

The force was considerable and particularly heavy, probably due to the lead weight.

A 100-gram lead sinker is equivalent to hanging a four or five-pound fish at the bottom of the water. This is due to density.

His belly was weighed down by many knots, and because he was afraid of it exploding, he began to pull the line at a constant speed.

After lifting it up about ten meters, slow down and then turn the wheel again.

"You don't look like a newbie." Ergou said with a smile as he lit a cigarette.

"Haha, the belly of the mandarin fish I fished for in the reservoir was fried and the internal organs were broken." After saying this, he exerted force with his hands and a golden fish was pulled up. It had a long tail and looked very beautiful.

"Is this a yellow croaker?" He pondered it for a moment. It looked quite similar to the one we ate last night, but it was even bigger.

"Damn, what a great newbie gift pack."

"You can even catch yellow croaker with dead shrimp, damn it."

"Damn, newbies are just so fierce."

The other three people were all jealous and envious. Yellow croakers are becoming increasingly scarce in the East China Sea, and today they actually caught one.

"Put it in the freezer quickly and cover it with a black plastic bag." Wenwen instructed and started to change the live bait.

"Big yellow croaker usually doesn't appear alone, quickly change to live bait, grass."

"Damn, this one weighs just over five pounds, so it's worth forty or fifty thousand."

Qin Dahe was stunned for a moment. This fish is only 40,000 or 50,000? It's only twice as big as the one we ate last night.

It turns out that sea fishing is so profitable. If you catch one fish every day, you can make tens of millions a year.

The fish were happily sent to the cold storage and covered with a black plastic bag, although I didn't know why.

When he returned to the ship's side, everyone was still chatting animatedly.

"Dahe, hurry up and put up the live bait."

"it is good."

I hung up a small white seal that was not yet dead, threw it down and continued to let out the line to the bottom.

I'm used to bottom fishing in freshwater, so I might as well try it in the sea since it's not the tide yet.

"Damn it, why is there a black carp? It's not even as valuable as my little white carp." A small fish that looked similar to an ordinary grass carp was pulled up, with a white membrane around the edge of its eyes.

"Me too, is it mullet season?" Wenwen scratched her hair, her refined appearance long gone.

"It seems like the fishing season has arrived. I saw quite a few when I went to buy fish just now."

Several people were speechless for a moment. They thought that all the fish below were yellow croakers, but they didn't expect them to be black carp.

The fishing rod in Qin Dahe's hand sank, and he waited for a few seconds before reeling in the line.

"What kind of fish is this?"

"Stinky belly fish, it's useless. I'll hang it up to catch a bigger fish later."

He nodded and threw it into the bucket.

The mullet were also thrown in there. I will use big steel hooks to catch big fish later.

The fish were biting pretty well afterwards, but there wasn't anything valuable. We fished until half past ten before Wenwen finally caught a two-jin (2.00 kg) large yellow croaker.

He happily put the fish away and said, "It's a pity, it's too small. It's only worth one or two thousand yuan."

It is very satisfying to go fishing at sea and calculate the price of fish. If you are lucky, you may catch hundreds of thousands of fish in a day.

Seafood is expensive in Shanghai; a single grouper can sell for thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

If it is a giant grouper, hundreds of thousands of dollars are not fresh, which is also the charm of sea fishing.

"You are so lucky, there is a big yellow croaker in the novice gift package." Ergou said enviously.

Everyone sat in the living room on the second floor and started eating bread and meat floss, with a bottle of soda next to each person.

The tide is 11:30-07 today, so we have to eat in advance.

"My tuna is awesome, it weighs over 170 kilograms." Wenwen said unconvinced.

"Haha, you've been bragging for two years, just surpass me first."

They were all young people, and they were quite happy eating, drinking and chatting together. Qin Dahe also enjoyed this atmosphere very much.

Sea fishing was truly fascinating. He didn't recognize many of the fish he caught, and of course, most of them weren't worth much. He fished for two hours, and the only valuable catches he caught were a large yellow croaker and a five-jin (15-pound) spotted grouper.

But we agreed that this grouper would be cooked in the afternoon for hotpot.

I caught a big yellow croaker today and made a lot of money.

I was planning to contribute the yellow croaker, but since it was my first time going out to sea and the weather was so good, I wanted to share it with everyone. I gritted my teeth and spent 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Who knew that Wenwen and the others were reluctant to eat it? It was really funny.

When it comes to fishing, he was indeed lucky. He went to Jinniu Lake and caught a 200-pound grass carp.

It was my first time going out to sea and I caught a rare five-jin heavy yellow croaker. It was so cool.

After eating and drinking, and smoking another cigarette, everyone began to prepare for the next seven-minute tide.

Ergou moved the boat to the deep sea area, the water depth became more than 80 meters, and the lead weight and hook were also changed.

"Let me tell you, as soon as the 70% tide arrives, the fish start biting harder."

"You have to use big bait at this time. How can you not catch big fish?"

"Haha, let's see if we can get two tuna today."

Everyone was discussing excitedly, and Qin Dahe also started hanging up cameras and video recorders.

I will turn on the video recorder when loading the goods, and I will wait for Wenwen and others to help take pictures.

I took several photos of the big yellow croaker separately. I heard that the color would look better after covering it with a black plastic bag.

This time the fish was posted on the forum and received another wave of attention.

After calculating the time, we started changing baits and fishing together.

He changed the fishhook to the largest one and hung a swimming crab on it.

It’s really cool to use live bait. No fish will eat plastic.

Swimming crabs are prepared for catching grouper. If that doesn’t work, there are also mantis shrimps. These shellfish are much more active.

The reef area itself is full of fish. Not long after I put the hook in, it suddenly bent like a bow.

"I'll steer." His hands shook and he almost lost his grip, so he quickly turned the wheel.

He was afraid it was a grouper that would dig a hole, so he cranked the wheel desperately, preparing to pull it to a depth of 60 meters before slowing down.

Others were also reeling in their lines. There were many fish in the reef area, and since fishing was prohibited and nets were not allowed to be cast, the fish were biting hard.

"Damn, little golden tuna." Ergou pulled up a fish depressedly.

Its skin is shiny and round, but it is too small, weighing only a dozen pounds at most.

Maybe it was because the water was too shallow, so it was still moving after coming up.

"Fish of this size need to be bled, otherwise they won't taste good." He cut off the fish's gills with a knife and explained it to Qin Dahe.

Then he hung it on a hook nearby and said, "Let it sit for a while before throwing it into the freezer. I'll sell it when I get back. Unfortunately, this fish is worthless."

Even if you bring this kind of small golden tuna back fresh, it is only worth a dozen yuan per pound.

If you bring it back frozen, only the processing plants will want it.

Sometimes we go out for four or five days, and a lot of the fish are frozen for too long and cannot be sold.

The fish on Qin Dahe's side finally came up. It was an ugly fish with a very big mouth.

"What kind of fish is this?" he asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Why is it that every time it comes up it's different? And the force is so strong.

"Toadfish, open its belly and take a look. You might find some surprises." Wenwen said with a smile.

He had just caught a grouper and was in a very good mood.

Qin Dahe immediately took action upon hearing this. Even with the steel gloves on his hands, he was not afraid of getting hurt and cut it open with a knife.

I saw several fish similar to yellow croaker, but much smaller and whitish in color.

"Small yellow croaker, chop it up and use it for bait later."

"Oh." He threw these things into the ice bucket in disappointment, took two photos, and then hung a mantis shrimp down again.

The grouper that Wenwen just caught was pulled up by the mantis shrimp.

I have to say, sea fishing is really fun.

When he caught a toadfish weighing four or five pounds, he thought it weighed more than ten pounds.

There are many varieties, and the goods can even be taken out from the fish belly.

It's just that the bait is too luxurious. Today, the four of us spent more than a thousand yuan on bait. Adding the cost of oil and fishing gear, it's at least six or seven thousand yuan.

If you don’t count the yellow croaker, even if you catch a few groupers, it will be a loss.

Besides, the yacht belongs to Wenwen and her friends, and the cost would be higher if they rented it.

After another round of frantic pulling, I actually caught another black carp. I threw it into the bucket with disgust and asked everyone to put bait on it.

“How many groupers can you catch in a day?”

"It depends on luck. Sometimes I can only catch two in four or five days."

As I was talking, I felt a push in my stomach and immediately pushed my body down.

"Ce, here comes the big one." He turned around and saw that Ergou hadn't caught any fish. "Brother Gou, help me turn on the video recorder."

"know."

The others smiled and shook their heads. This was near the sea, so where would such a huge creature come from?

A real giant doesn’t look like this. A deep-sea giant can make people question their lives.

However, since it was Qin Dahe's first time sea fishing, they were all happy to answer his questions, and maybe someone would join him in the fun in the future.

Looking at the Land Cruiser he was driving, you could tell his family was wealthy, so it would be nice to have more people to share the cost of the yacht.

"Pick it up for me." Seeing the wheel going downhill, he began to manually release the force of the line group, and lifted the fishing rod with his other hand.

He is really strong, almost like fishing for a hundred-pound giant. If it weren't for the boat's side, it would be difficult to pull it.

Not only did he apply the wheel brakes to the maximum, he was also manually adjusting the cable.

There are only 300 meters of line in total, and it would be nonsense to just randomly put down the clear cups.
