Chapter 242 More metal pipes?
The online sensation "My Fishing Raft Will Ask for Help," a heartfelt work by author Zang Li, is now available.
After having a late-night snack with him, Luo Qianqian's attitude improved, and she told him not to overwork himself that night and to remember to rest in his room downstairs.
Sure enough, if she eats a late-night snack alone, she will be unhappy afterward, worried that she will gain weight.
But it's fine if everyone's together, since we'll all get fat together anyway.
However, Zhou Miao felt that her idea was a bit unnecessary. She usually ate and drank whatever she wanted and never exercised to lose weight, so she obviously had a body type that was difficult to gain weight.
After the late-night snack, the three women snuggled on the sofa to apply face masks and digest their food, while Zhou Miao and Yu Muzhou returned to the deck to continue fishing.
Midnight is the perfect time for fishing.
However, after a successful catch with a continuous stream of fish, I've been waiting for most of the day and no fish have taken the bait.
Zhou Miao changed the bait and used new Antarctic krill to see if it would work.
"I'll go upstairs and check the fish finder." Yu Muzhou didn't want to just wait around; if there were no fish, he would go back to sleep.
Upon arriving at the driver's seat and seeing the fish finder, he was shocked and quickly ran downstairs.
"Ah Miao, quickly change your line setup to fish for big fish! A school of fish is coming, they're all red amberjack, all meter-long, and they're about 20 or 30 meters underwater."
"Red jujube?"
Zhou Miao's eyes lit up, and he immediately put away the small boat rod. Then he changed the line and hook of the heavy boat rod and put on equipment for fish weighing more than 50 pounds.
Although Yu Muzhou said they were all 20 to 30 kilograms, he was still preparing to use his electric reel to catch even bigger ones.
If there's no movement later, he can fish manually. Since it's at a depth of twenty or thirty meters, it won't be tiring.
After changing the leader and hook, bait the hook with a piece of freshly cut bonito.
When you fish all night, there are always some cheap fish that pop up and steal your catch, so you can always catch some, which are perfect for catching the big ones.
On the other side, Yu Muzhou was much more extravagant, directly scattering handfuls of thawed sardines into the water. His baiting was quite sharp, just like fishing for tuna.
But Zhou Miao didn't follow suit, because the fish were already under the boat, so there was no need to release fish to attract them.
The fish that have gathered here are most likely attracted by the fish-attracting lights. As long as the lights remain on and the sun comes out, they will not leave.
After changing the bait, the line had barely been cast more than ten meters when it started moving – a fish was taking the bait.
Zhou Miao thought to himself that there was indeed a bigger fish, and then quickly pressed the reel button. The fishing rod, which was only slightly bent, was instantly pulled and bent into an arch.
Seeing this, he was overjoyed; the descent of the fishing rod indicated that the fish was definitely not small.
Meanwhile, the electric reel, which had already been started, was unable to reel in the fishing line for the time being, and the two sides were deadlocked.
"Holy crap, Zhou-ge, I just got a fish that weighs over 200 pounds! You saw a whole school of fish earlier, were they all this big?"
"Wait a minute, it shouldn't be that big!" Yu Muzhou on the other side was stunned upon hearing this.
Because he noticed the fish were in shallow water, he specifically used a visual fish finder to check, but didn't find any particularly large fish.
"Haha, maybe it's hidden among the amberjacks and you just haven't noticed it yet."
"That's true. No, I'll use an electric reel to catch a big one too."
If there are big fish, Yu Muzhou wouldn't be fishing for small ones.
Unlike Zhou Miao, he was content with just one fish weighing over 200 jin (approximately 100 kg) a week.
For anglers, the ultimate goal is to go out to sea and catch big fish.
Zhou Miao focused intently on the screen on the electric reel, having no intention of continuing to fish manually from the side.
As soon as he senses something is wrong, he immediately takes action to ensure the big fish doesn't get away.
After about ten minutes, the numbers that had been jumping back and forth on the screen began to decrease slowly.
Clearly, the fish couldn't hold on any longer, and the electric winch started to work harder.
Zhou Miao grabbed the crank handle and assisted the electric reel in winding up the line.
The fish didn't go far; it was quickly retrieved within a distance of seventy or eighty meters.
Soon, a dark metal pipe appeared on the surface of the water.
It looks similar to the yellow listening device from last time, but it's a bit longer.
Zhou Miao was both surprised and delighted. She was surprised that there were so many listening devices now.
He caught one for two consecutive nights.
The good news is that I've made at least another 50,000 yuan, which is more profitable than catching a large fish weighing several hundred kilograms.
"What kind of fish?" Yu Muzhou asked casually when he saw Zhou Miao pushing the mobile crane.
"I can't say what kind of fish it is either," Zhou Miao replied with a strange expression.
"There are only so many large fish in China, are there any you can't recognize?" Yu Muzhou felt a little strange.
But he caught a fish, not a very big one, but he couldn't leave, so he could only wait for it to come up before checking on it.
After a short while, Zhou Miao used a crane to lift the metal pipe up.
Yu Muzhou turned around and immediately exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
"Why is there another pipe?"
"You're asking me? Who should I ask? This pipe is really strange. Not only is it mixed in with the fish, but it also happens to get tangled in my fishing line and can't get out."
At this moment, Zhou Miao began to doubt whether he was a "pipe expert" or not.
"You're saying that about yourself, aren't you!" Zhou Miao said with a dark face as he cut the tangled fishing line.
They were all tied in tight knots; no wonder the metal pipe couldn't escape.
After changing the leader, Zhou Miao continued using the skipjack tuna chunks from before. After throwing the hook and bait into the water, he took a picture of the metal pipe and sent it to Ye Hengyi, along with the coordinates.
If you want it, come and get it yourself. If you're not in a hurry, just wait for him to go back.
Ye Hengyi, standing on the shore, was speechless. He had to go to work tomorrow, and he was already asleep.
But I set Zhou Miao to be on my special list, so my phone will set an alarm whenever he sends a message.
Upon seeing yet another metal pipe, Ye Hengyi couldn't help but admire his luck.
This luck is incredible!
Other fishermen might not catch a single one in a year, but he catches one every day, and who knows how many more he might catch.
However, the distance was too far this time, and even taking a speedboat would be inconvenient, so Ye Hengyi decided not to go.
Fortunately, this place is close to the high seas and there are many patrol boats, so he can contact his colleagues who are patrolling at sea and working the night shift.
After receiving a reply, Zhou Miao put away his phone.
Since Ye Hengyi's colleague lived two hours away, he could just fish and wait for him to arrive.
The heavy-duty electric reel had caught another fish, but this time the pull was much weaker than the last, though the fish must have weighed more than 20 or 30 pounds.
Because the electric reel wasn't reeling in the line very quickly, he felt that the fish might weigh around 100 pounds.
The fish was very fierce. When it first took the bait, it managed to run for about thirty meters with the pull and unload of the electric winch, and then it couldn't go on.
It's possible that it lost its breath all at once, and then it was dragged to the surface without any chance to struggle.
Unsurprisingly, it was an extra-large red amber.
It must be about 1.5 meters long, and it looks fat and big.
Unfortunately, there's a limit to how tall and slender Hong Gan is.
If it were like tuna, it could weigh at least another fifty pounds.
