Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 487 Fishing with Iron Plate

After getting on the boat, Ergou was the first to drive the yacht back to the port.

Now if we run at full speed, we can reach the Huangpu River at five o'clock.

The other three were responsible for sorting the fish. They were not particular when collecting them. They caught whatever they saw and threw away some of the unwanted ones.

"Xiao Xia, is the iron plate hung up?" Wenwen looked up and asked.

"Hang it up, wait until the speed picks up before letting out the line."

Qin Dahe asked curiously and found out that it was fishing with a drag hook.

When the yacht is running at full speed, hang two fishing rods, one on the left and one on the right, and hang iron sheets on them. You might be able to catch something big.

It's an hour's journey. In this case, the fish that can be caught are extremely ferocious big fish, and the small fish can't catch up with the sequins at all.

"Haha, there are so many ways to play." I felt a pang of regret when I thought that after this trip, I wouldn't be able to go out to sea for a long time.

According to them, apart from the yellow croaker, the harvest this time was actually very poor.

But there are so many fish visible to the naked eye. If the fishing conditions are good, how many can we catch?

"How many fish did you catch at most?"

“That day, the three of us found a tuna spot and caught over a ton.”

"Fuck, are you human?" Qin Dahe was shocked. Each person weighs 700 to 800 kilograms or even more. Can their hands bear it?
Seeing him lose his composure, the two of them laughed.

"Haha, we fished for two days, and then we stayed at home for a week."

"They were all yellowfin tuna. The largest one weighed 150 kilograms, which was caught by Ergou. The rest weighed around kilograms each."

"The fish alone sold for over 100,000 yuan, and the coordinates sold for another 50,000 yuan afterwards."

Wenwen and Xiaoxia talked to each other and recounted their experience of tuna fishing.

They found an enriched spot themselves, but they were so exhausted from fishing that they had to return to the port.

But at that time, someone happened to be buying the coordinates on the public channel, so I sold it to him.

Qin Dahe was fascinated by what he heard about nature. He didn't know that the sea was so interesting.

After the speed of the boat increased, he went to put down the iron plate and fixed the fishing rod on it.

"The water near the coast is not deep enough, so we have to speed up the boat before we can let the line go, otherwise it will easily get stuck on the bottom." Wenwen said as she let out the line.

"And you can't hang other fish or meat on it, because it will fall off. You can only hang sequins."

"Right."

If the yacht is fully started, it can reach a speed of more than 30 knots, which is equivalent to more than 60 kilometers per hour.

Of course, the fuel consumption in this case is terrifying, more than 400 liters per hour, and one ton of oil is only enough for more than two hours of driving.

When they were almost at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the hook on one side moved, and Wenwen stepped forward to start reeling in the line.

"Ergou stopped the boat, there's a fish on."

The veins on his arms were bulging as he leaned against the side of the boat to reel in the line, a stark contrast to his gentle appearance when he was not fishing.

"Oh." Ergou on the flying bridge responded, immediately reduced the throttle and slowly stopped the yacht.

There are vortices in the fuel tank of the Clippers every minute, and even these rich second-generations feel a little painful.

Fortunately, we caught a fish. A big fish is worth at least one or two thousand yuan.

Qin Dahe took the initiative to help collect the empty line on the other side.

My cell phone kept ringing. I opened it and saw two missed calls. There was no signal at sea during the day.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, he returned the call. It turned out that it was Lao Xu calling to ship the goods.

It seems that sales in Jinling are good, and several cities near Anhui have also been allocated there. After the price reduction, 10,000 kilograms sold out very quickly.

"The big ship will be loaded with cargo tomorrow morning and arrive in Jinling in the afternoon. You just need to go to pick up the cargo. I will send you the captain's phone number later." Ah Hu's ship is in Chaohu and is going to deliver cargo to Zhangjiagang.

Qin Dahe asked him to take 25,000 kilograms of bait and some other things to Jinling and Shanghai. It would not be difficult to make a profit of 3,000 yuan in shipping fees.

After all, whether delivering or receiving goods, Ah Hu doesn't need to do anything. He can just hire laborers to carry the goods up the Yuxi River, and his family pays the docking fees.

They had taken great pains to save on shipping costs. "Okay." Knowing the goods would be available tomorrow, Lao Xu was immediately relieved.

After hanging up the phone, Wenwen was almost done with the fishing. He used a thick braided line for his fishing rod, which was like a thin hemp rope, so he was not worried about the line breaking.

After pulling violently for more than ten minutes, I could already see the fish washing its gills.

"Sea bass, not bad, this one weighs forty kilograms."

"It's a pity to see a sea bass this big. If it were a giant grouper, it would be more valuable." Xiao Xia said regretfully.

The one hour of returning to the city consumes more than a thousand oil. If you can make a fortune by using a large golden gun, Sea Bass can only be said to have broken even.

After scooping up the fish, Qin Dahe went forward to take a look. Compared with freshwater bass, it had a slender body and spots on its back.

He stepped forward to help drain the blood and then hung it on the hook. He learned a lot on this trip.

The yacht arrived at North Bund and dropped the three of them off first. Ergou took the catch to sell and also delivered dinner to the hotel.

There are no berths on the North Bund side, so they cannot dock for a long time. Their yachts will be docked at their own private dock.

"Should we invite Liu Da to dinner?"

"Of course he'll come. Even though he doesn't go fishing, he'll always be there for seafood."

"Haha."

"This guy especially likes to eat fresh sea fish."

The three of them got ashore chatting and laughing. Qin Dahe also wanted to drive back to take a shower. It was almost six o'clock now, so they had to hurry.

A seafood food stall on the bank of the Huangpu River is simply decorated. There are many fishing nets hanging on the courtyard wall, and there is even a water jump by the river, just like a farmyard.

There were only four tables in the living room, and a group of people gathered among them.

There is a big tray in the middle, full of seafood.

"Shred!"

"Fuck, what the hell are you talking about?"

"Haha, cheers."

The freshwater fishing trio and the saltwater fishing trio were all there, and with Qin Dahe, there were exactly seven of them, all gathered together to eat and drink happily.

Two cases of ice-cold wheat beer have been opened, the oysters have been eaten, and there is also a serving of steamed grouper caught on the island reef.

Ergou and his friends kept bragging about their catch during the day, which made Da Liu and his friends very envious.

"Fuck it, I just can't go out to sea. I even want to vomit on the river. Otherwise, I will definitely go fishing with you." Da Liu said hatefully.

"Let's go fishing all over the country. There are many giant freshwater fish." Qin Dahe smiled and took a bite of the grilled cuttlefish, which was very chewy.

Today's catch is not as delicious as the bait. These cuttlefish are leftovers from fishing.

"The biggest fish we caught in the sea today was only over 40 kilograms. The silver carp and bighead carp we caught in Hubei are bigger than this."

Liu gave a wry laugh. There were plenty of fish weighing 40 kilograms in the sea, so freshwater fish couldn't compare. He turned to look at Ah Fu and said, "Your seasickness isn't that severe. If you can get over it, you should be able to go out to sea."

"I won't go either. I can't overcome it. Fishing in black pits is also quite fun." Ah Fu quickly refused.

One reason is that going overseas is really scary and expensive. Another reason is that following Liu makes it easier to run the family business.

The boss brought out another serving of fried snail slices, interrupting everyone's conversation.

"The tuna needs to be chilled. Zizao will be here soon." After saying that, he went back to his work.

Tuna refers to small tuna, which does not struggle violently and only needs to be deacidified.

From a fish weighing more than ten kilograms, only three kilograms of qualified fillets can be cut out, and the remaining fish bones and fish heads are inedible.

Qin Dahe tasted the snail meat and didn't think it was very delicious, but Liu Da and the others liked it very much.

The most delicious food in the evening was the grilled oysters and cuttlefish. A large tray was served and was eaten up in no time. It was very fresh.

"Wenwen, I see you guys aren't short of money, so why don't you install an electric winch on your yacht?"
