420: Yellowtail migration route

The setting sail headed northeast the entire way.

The two discovered quite a few schools of fish along the way, but they did not stop to fish.

This was something they had agreed upon before setting off; unless it was a high-value species, like a school of Tuna, they would not stop the boat to fish.

If it were any other school of fish, they had no intention of stopping, because the journey was long, and any extra load on the way would be counterproductive.

The task of fishing would only be carried out after arriving at their destination or on the return trip.

Therefore, when Yang Qi and Bai Xue took turns resting, they were very relaxed.

Usually, they would just chat with each other, and aside from occasionally catching a few fish to add to their meals, they basically wouldn't go out of their way to fish.

Occasionally, if they encountered one or two Tuna, as long as they didn't exceed 150 catties, Yang Qi would actively ignore them.

Because stopping the boat and starting it again not only wasted time but also wasted fuel money.

So, they made non-stop progress along the way until ten o'clock at night, when Yang Qi finally found a place to anchor the boat and rest.

Following their usual routine, the two threw the crab trap down before going to sleep.

Mainly, this was just a convenient action that didn't delay their journey.

Early the next morning, the two went to retrieve the crab trap, then weighed anchor and set sail.

Even breakfast was prepared by Bai Xue, and the two took turns eating.

The main focus was that the people could stop, but the boat couldn't!

Yang Qi had estimated long ago that reaching their destination in the Sea of Japan would take about two days and two nights.

In the afternoon, Yang Qi discovered a large school of Sea Bass, with hundreds or thousands of meter-long Sea Bass in the school.

In all the times Yang Qi had been out to sea, he had encountered many schools of Sea Bass, but this was the first time he had seen such a massive one.

Yang Qi stood on the deck, torn internally, struggling to decide, in great agony.

This was like encountering a silver mine while panning for gold.

Should he take it or leave it?

However, the setting sail was only so big; if he picked up the silver, he could forget about panning for gold.

If it were you, would you pick up this silver or not?

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the two only used fishing rods and Longline Fishing to deal with this massive school of Sea Bass, even without filling the hold, there was a high possibility of making hundreds of thousands of yuan.

But if they did that, then going to the Sea of Japan to catch yellowtail amberjack would be wishful thinking.

Because the Freezer Hold only had so much space; if they loaded it with a batch of Sea Bass first, they would be completely saying goodbye to the yellowtail amberjack.

Then what would be the point of going to the Sea of Japan? Wouldn't this trip be in vain?

Yang Qi finally understood the pros and cons.

Then, without a word, he watched helplessly as the school of Sea Bass drifted further and further away.

Hiss... damn it!

Yang Qi gritted his back teeth and left the bow, out of sight, out of mind—as long as I don't look, it won't hurt!

Just like that, the setting sail traveled through the vast ocean until twelve o'clock at night.

Yang Qi found a place to drop anchor and stop the boat, and the two first lowered the crab trap into the sea.

Then they went to make a late-night snack, and after eating, they went to rest.

Because both of them knew that after arriving at their destination, it would be a bitter battle, so they needed to conserve their energy.

The next morning, after retrieving the crab trap and finishing breakfast, they continued forward.

Finally, around 10:30 at night, they arrived at their destination, which was near the Korea Strait, close to the northernmost edge of China's East China Sea.

It belonged to the intersection of the East China Sea and the Korea Strait.

It was also the edge of the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Korean country and the japanese country.

To the left of this place was the Korean country's waters, to the right was the japanese country's waters, and to the south was China's East China Sea waters.

Yang Qi had long thought about it; if a japanese country warship came, he would steer a bit into the Korean country's waters, and vice versa.

If he saw warships from both countries at the same time, he would retreat a bit to the south.

The Sea of Japan and the East China Sea were like the two bellies of a gourd.

And the Korea Strait was the waist of the gourd.

If you compare the East China Sea to a large jar, the Korea Strait is the mouth of the jar.

The yellowtail amberjack migration is from the Sea of Japan, through the Korea Strait, migrating to the East China Sea.

Therefore, waiting for the yellowtail amberjack in the Korea Strait, which is the necessary path for their migration, is much, much easier than searching for them in the vast East China Sea.

But at this moment, Yang Qi used his Supernatural Ability to check, but found that there was not a single yellowtail amberjack in the nearby waters.

Thinking carefully, on the migration route of the yellowtail amberjack from the Sea of Japan to the Korea Strait, fishing boats from both those countries were fishing everywhere.

Exactly how many yellowtail amberjack could break through the heavy barriers and reach the exit of the strait was truly an unknown.

Yang Qi asked Bai Xue to take the binoculars and observe the surroundings, keeping an eye out at all times for any patrol boats from other countries approaching.

He himself activated his Supernatural Ability to continue checking if any schools of yellowtail amberjack were arriving.

The weather here was already very cold, and the two had put on thick down jackets while on the road.

Time quickly reached 12 o'clock, just when Yang Qi felt his cheeks were about to go numb from the cold.

Suddenly, he discovered that the seawater in front began to become lively.

Countless large fish swarmed in, blindly rushing into Yang Qi's Supernatural Ability vision.

Yang Qi immediately shouted excitedly:

"Bai Xue, the yellowtail amberjack are here."

"Quick, Bai Xue, listen to my instructions to steer the boat, I will set the nets."

Next, Yang Qi hung the walkie-talkie around his neck, and while organizing the Gillnet, he started shouting into the walkie-talkie:

"Bai Xue, full speed to the northwest, ..."

Yang Qi threw the float at one end of the Gillnet into the sea, and driven by the speed of the boat, the 400-meter-long large Gillnet "whooshed" down into the sea.

"Stop the boat, now drive in the southeast direction..."

With a "slap" sound, another float was thrown into the sea, followed by another large Gillnet flying rapidly into the sea with a "whoosh".

Just like that, Yang Qi lowered four Gillnets into the sea in a repeating "Z" shape, blocking the path of the advancing yellowtail amberjack.

Immediately following that were two baskets of Longline Fishing.

At this moment, on the pitch-black sea surface, only the boat lights of the setting sail were shining.

Like a firefly moving slowly, flicking left and right.

Yang Qi could see with his naked eye that on the first net, the vanguard of the school of fish, dozens of them had already been caught by the Gillnet.

The other yellowtail amberjack that weren't caught, under the pressure of the even larger school of fish behind them, rushed directly towards the fishing net.

The larger schools of fish following close behind gradually split to the sides, rushing forward one after another.

Yang Qi saw that the first Gillnet was densely covered with yellowtail amberjack.

The Gillnet was being dragged down by the fish that were caught.

Immediately after, the massive school of yellowtail amberjack collided with the second large net, the third large net, ...

The school of yellowtail amberjack was very fast; by the time the two had lowered both baskets of Longline Fishing into the sea.

Yang Qi discovered that the float on the fourth large Gillnet had already begun to tremble up and down.

This proved that yellowtail amberjack had already collided with the fishing net.

He shouted into the walkie-talkie:

"Bai Xue, full speed back to where we just set the Gillnets, we need to retrieve the nets immediately."
