324: Precious sea bream school
Two hours later, the fish biting slowed down. Originally, fish would bite within a minute of the bait hitting the water, but now it took seven or eight minutes before seeing any action.
"Time to reel in, let's change spots!"
At Yang Qi's command, everyone reeled in their lines and went to make breakfast.
He went to the Cockpit himself to restart the boat and search for the next fishing spot. Liu Zheng also came to the Cockpit to chat and smoke with him.
"Yang Qi, running around like this consumes a lot of fuel!"
"Yeah, it definitely consumes fuel, but as long as we can find a school of fish, it's still profitable."
Yang Qi explained softly. Isn't that right? Others might wander aimlessly in the vast ocean, with nine out of ten losing money.
He was someone with a Supernatural Ability, so it was impossible for him to lose money on fuel. "It's so refreshing! Yang Qi, thank you for letting me enjoy such beautiful scenery!"
Liu Zheng looked out at the ocean and sighed with emotion once again.
"You're saying this again, Brother Zheng, don't always be so polite. This is all fate!"
Yang Qi followed his gaze. The hazy, beautiful scenery where the sea and sky merged into one truly made one feel relaxed and happy.
As the two chatted idly, the "setting sail" arrived at a certain sea area.
In Yang Qi's Supernatural Ability vision, the water in this area was about sixty meters deep, with rugged reefs scattered across the seabed.
Between the reefs, it was uneven, with cracks and caves of various sizes, surrounded by colorful corals of different shapes.
These weren't the main point; the point was that this place was filled with the figures of various Sea Bream.
There were Black Seabream, yellow seabream, red seabream, striped Sea Bream, stone bream, oriental pepper seabream... and so on.
It was simply a world of Sea Bream, though of course, it was also mixed with some other fish species, like Yellowfin Seabream, Mackerel, Grouper, and so on.
The black and white stripes on the striped Sea Bream were faintly visible as they swam slowly and steadily.
The spots on the stone bream were like stars, shimmering with a mysterious black and bright light.
The unique yellow markings on the oriental pepper seabream were clearly visible, their agile figures darting nimbly between the reefs.
They gathered together, shining with colorful light, as if it were a grand underwater feast.
What Yang Qi saw wasn't just fish, but stacks of banknotes. Among the Sea Bream species, there were some precious ones, besides the common Black Seabream and yellow seabream.
Several other Sea Bream species at the bottom were valuable fish, starting at one or two hundred yuan per jin.
The next moment, Yang Qi maneuvered the "setting sail" to stop steadily above the school of fish.
He began to call Liu Zheng to change to a string hook. This time, he didn't use the Electric Reel, but instead switched to a boat rock fishing rod.
Actually, later on, unless Yang Qi was fishing in very deep water or for big fish, he rarely used only the Electric Reel to fish. Usually, he would add a boat rock fishing rod.
Although fishing with an Electric Reel saved effort, it completely lacked soul and couldn't provide the fun of fishing.
Besides, the line retrieval of an Electric Reel was a dead force, making it hard to control freely, and it was easy to lose fish.
Another thing was that when fishing for these fish weighing from a few jin to twenty jin, his arm strength and retrieval speed far exceeded the Electric Reel.
Of course, when fishing for large Grouper or Tuna, he had to add an Electric Reel with maximum power.
"Yang Qi, give me a boat fishing rod too, I want to try the feel of fishing for sea fish."
Liu Zheng saw Yang Qi assembling the boat rock fishing rod and said.
"Okay, I'll get you one."
Yang Qi thought to himself that with Liu Zheng's characteristic as an Angler who would stay up all night if he lost a fish, he was fully worthy of the title of "Serious Angler".
"Time to eat!"
As it turned out, before they could even cast their lines, breakfast was ready. The three women had already set up the table and brought several dishes onto the deck.
Yang Qi wanted to fish first, but after all, there were guests, and the food was already prepared.
Then they would eat first. He believed these fish wouldn't run away immediately; it looked like this was a den of Sea Bream.
"Brother A-Zheng, let's eat first! We'll fish in a while."
Yang Qi called out to Liu Zheng, who was just about to bait his hook. He understood the psychology of a serious Angler who would want to cast a few times even if he were hungry.
However, as the host, he certainly had to take care of the guests first. Liu Zheng's wife over there was not an Angler.
The group sat down and happily tasted the sumptuous breakfast. Liu Zheng and his wife loved the delicious seafood porridge so much that they each drank two bowls.
In the end, it was still Yang Qi and Bai Xue who cleaned up the battlefield, polishing everything off.
"Let's go, let's go fishing!"
Liu Zheng took the cigarette Yang Qi handed him and started urging him.
During fishing time, who sits down to chat? At a glance, he wasn't a competent Angler!
"Let's get it!"
Yang Qi hooked the Shrimp, cast his rod casually, and the string hook quickly sank under the weight of the lead sinker.
Before it even reached the bottom, various Sea Bream smelled the fragrance of the Shrimp and swarmed over like a pack of hungry wolves.
The school of fish at the bottom seemed to explode, with the quick getting it and the slow missing out!
Some Sea Bream that were close by had the advantage of time and place; the bait was right by their mouths, and they could just turn their heads to eat it.
As for those further away, even if they rushed over at top speed, they were a step too late.
What to do then? Just stay where they were and wait. What if more food fell from the sky later?
A large red seabream and a stone bream with brilliant black spots were the closest; they each bit a hook and dashed away desperately.
A group of oriental pepper seabream behind them that had reacted were not willing to give up, and they chased closely, stirring up clouds of murky sand on the seabed.
"Oh! There are still a few delicious morsels, and they still want to run."
Finally, the Shrimp on the other hooks were also discovered by the oriental pepper seabream that had caught up.
So they rushed up and swallowed them in one bite.
"Whoosh..."
Yang Qi made a prompt decision and jerked the rod to set the hook.
In an instant, a pulling force came from the rod, and the tip of the rod was clearly bent!
The fishing line made a "whoo-whoo-whoo" sound as it cut through the water, circling on the surface.
Yang Qi held the rod up with one hand and grasped the fishing reel with the other, ready to crank the reel to retrieve the line at any moment.
The Sea Bream underwater were also unwilling to be captured, twisting their bodies frantically in the water and darting around.
Four fish were hooked on four hooks, and each Sea Bream dashed in a different direction, their mutual pulling canceling out a lot of the resistance.
Yang Qi didn't give them any more chances; he unleashed his Kirin Arm and cranked the reel vigorously.
After some tugging, several fish were pulled out of the water.
To avoid the fish unhooking and escaping, Yang Qi picked up the Landing Net and steadily scooped the four fish onto the deck.
Actually, these fish were not small; the largest red seabream was about ten jin or so, the stone bream was six or seven jin, and the two oriental pepper seabream were also about seven jin.
Even if he was conservative and calculated it at two hundred yuan per jin, this one cast was worth over six thousand yuan. A very good opening catch!
"Wow! This is red seabream, stone bream, and oriental pepper seabream! This one cast must be worth over six thousand yuan."
"Husband, you've set a great example for us all!"
Just then, Bai Xue and the other two finished cleaning up. Seeing the fish Yang Qi had caught, she exclaimed in surprise.
