296: Red amberjack again

The two boats were separated by a coral reef, with a distance of about one nautical mile.

After stopping the boat, Yang Qi and Bai Xue drove the inflatable boat to lower the fishing cages first.

When they returned to "setting sail," Yao Shanshan had already prepared dinner and started installing the Electric Reel.

"No need to install mine yet, I'll try the boat rock fishing rod first."

Yang Qi said to Yao Shanshan.

"Alright, then I'll install two. Let's eat first! They've already started eating over there."

After speaking, Yao Shanshan pointed to "vast sea."

Sure enough, they heard Zhang Jun shouting from the bow:

"Yang Qi, do you guys want to come over for dinner?"

"No need, let's just eat our own! It's too much trouble."

Yang Qi shouted back to Zhang Jun.

"Alright, let's start eating too! Once we're done, we'll start making money."

After a quick meal, the three of them entered fishing mode, occupying their usual spots. Yang Qi had Bai Xue on his left and Yao Shanshan on his right.

Soon, all three of them hooked fish.

Except for Yang Qi, who caught a Yellowfin Seabream weighing about three catties, Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan both caught Golden Pomfret weighing about two catties.

Such a situation is very normal in sea fishing. It's impossible for every catch to be valuable.

Therefore, none of the three felt any disdain; whichever fish was the hungriest would bite first.

Yang Qi unhooked the Yellowfin Seabream, threw it into the fish box, and continued to bait his hook and cast. He had long since spotted several Green Grouper there.

However, things didn't go as planned; another Yellowfin Seabream took the bait. Seeing that the fish wasn't very big, Yang Qi skipped the reeling process and pulled it directly to the surface.

For the next forty or fifty minutes, the three of them kept catching Yellowfin Seabream one after another.

Although this school of Yellowfin Seabream wasn't very large, it gave them the joy of continuous catches.

Occasionally hearing the commotion from "vast sea," Yang Qi knew the fishing conditions over there must be pretty good too.

Finally, after the three of them had scattered the school of Yellowfin Seabream and scared them away, Yao Shanshan was the first to catch a Green Grouper weighing about six catties.

As their fishing time extended, more and more Shrimp debris from the hooks fell to the seabed.

The scent of the Shrimp attracted quite a few Grouper and other fish species nearby.

There were four or five Grouper near Yang Qi's spot, and besides the Grouper, he also discovered Croaker and Red Seabream.

The largest Red Seabream was definitely twenty or thirty catties.

Yang Qi casually grabbed a dozen or so less valuable Golden Pomfret and small miscellaneous fish from the fish basket behind them.

He chopped them all into pieces and threw them into their fishing spot. Actually, in general, very few people use baiting in sea fishing unless they encounter a school of fish or there are big fish around.

But Yang Qi was different; he could clearly know the underwater fish situation. Baiting wasn't aimless for him.

If you don't bait when fishing, you won't catch much.

As the fish pieces sank, they quickly attracted the attention of the underwater school of fish, which rushed over to grab the food.

Yang Qi watched so many good fish underwater waiting for him to catch them. He decided to target the few Grouper on the far left first.

Although he was most envious of those Red Seabream, since they were a bit far away, he decided to catch those few Grouper first.

After selecting his target, Yang Qi baited his hook and cast it into the area where those few Grouper were active.

Not long after, a pulling force came from the fishing rod, which was significantly stronger than the Yellowfin Seabream from earlier.

Yang Qi immediately raised his rod to set the hook. As the fish struggled underwater, he saw that it was an Oil Grouper weighing about five catties.

A fish of this size was nothing in the face of Yang Qi's equipment and technique, even if it were a Grouper with greater pulling force.

Having seen that it was an Oil Grouper, he definitely wanted to bring it home alive, so he deliberately slowed down the reeling speed.

Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan hooked fish almost at the same time, but since they were using Electric Reels and hadn't hooked any particularly large fish, the commotion was a bit smaller than Yang Qi's.

Yang Qi had already seen that what Bai Xue had hooked was exactly that largest Red Seabream, which was at least 35 catties.

I have to say, her luck is truly good. Based on luck alone, she absolutely crushes Yang Qi, this cheater.

What Yao Shanshan had hooked was a Croaker weighing about five or six catties, which was also not bad.

Yang Qi was quite confident in Bai Xue's fishing skills, after all, she was someone who had caught hundreds of catties of Tuna.

He quickly netted the Oil Grouper and put it into the Live Well.

Yang Qi didn't pay attention to the two of them catching fish; he re-baited his own hook and cast it toward those few Grouper.

"Hahaha, Yang Qi, mine is a Croaker."

"Hmm, not bad! It weighs five or six catties."

While speaking, Yao Shanshan had already netted the fish onto the deck. She picked up scissors, skillfully bled the fish, and then threw it into the fish basket.

At this moment, Yang Qi's rod hooked another fish—a Green Grouper weighing about four catties. Just as he was reeling it in, Bai Xue finally pulled her fish out of the water.

"Husband, I have a Red Seabream weighing about 35 catties here, hahaha, my luck is really good. Did you see it?"

"I saw it, you're amazing!"

Yang Qi praised her very supportively.

"Hehehe."

Afterward, she used both hands to exert force and netted the Red Seabream onto the deck. She also immediately began bleeding and draining the acid.

Today is only the first day at sea. Only fish that are easy to keep alive and have a high price are qualified to enter the Live Well.

By the time Yang Qi had caught all five Grouper from that spot, Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan had caught another three Red Seabream.

"Husband, has a school of Red Seabream arrived?"

"I think it's very likely that a school of fish has arrived. Let's all hurry and try to catch more."

Yang Qi responded to Bai Xue while watching the school of hundreds of Red Seabream underwater.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's hurry up and fish, and try to catch more big fish."

Yao Shanshan also said.

Yang Qi nodded, inserted his fishing rod into the Rod Holder, and turned to go to the Freezer Hold.

Under their confused gazes, he pulled out a box of frozen bait, chopped a bucket of fish pieces with a "papapa" sound, and grabbed the fish pieces to scatter them into their fishing spot.

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the school of fish was still there, scatter some chum, and keep the fish there. He also took a moment to look toward "vast sea."

Sure enough, they were also catching fish continuously over there. Because there were more people, it seemed even livelier than their side.

As the fish pieces sank, a few Red Seabream swam toward the area near the bait on his hook.

To attract the attention of the Red Seabream, Yang Qi gently shook the fishing rod, making the Shrimp on the hook struggle and twitch even more from the pain.

Soon, two Red Seabream spotted the Shrimp struggling incessantly in front of them and quickly pounced.

"You little things, where do you think you're going? You still dare to show off in front of me!"
