Chapter 180 The best red-mouthed dolphin(1/2)

This time when he went to sea, Zhang Ze had one more piece of equipment, which was the belly belt specially prepared for him by Tong Shuyao.

He originally wanted to make this thing in a tailor shop, but when his wife found out about it, she took over the task and just finished it last night.

With this, he won't be afraid of the pain in his stomach when he catches a big fish in the future.

After starting the Duoyu, the engine warm-up was completed, and he followed the river into the sea.

Looking at the navigation, Zhang Ze thought about which location he should go to first.

Should we go directly to Dongsha, or should we visit several fishing spots nearby that we have heard about?

At present, he mainly focuses on familiarizing himself with the terrain and road conditions, and basically rarely uses the automatic driving function when driving a boat.

It takes a lot of time to explore a new sea area. Along the way, he can also record the coordinates of fish schools based on the conditions displayed on the fish finder.

In a small drawer in the cockpit, there is a notebook in which he has recorded the coordinates of many fishing spots he discovered during his two trips to sea.

In addition, areas with more fish and fewer fish are marked. Some places can be shared with others, but some places with exploding resources are only suitable for your own secret fishing spots.

Unfortunately, Zhang Ze has not discovered such a secret fishing spot yet. The trench is actually very good, but it is too close to Hailing Island and can easily be discovered by fishermen on the island.

Secondly, several people in Jin Sanbao also know about it, so it is not suitable for being a secret fishing spot.

After much thought, Zhang Ze decided to take a detour this time and go to the sea off Nan'ao Island.

This is also a good place. There are many fishing spots nearby, and there is also a kind of top-quality fish. He plans to go there and try his luck.

To go to Nan'ao Island, you have to go half a circle and pass by Hong Kong Island.

However, the Duoyu's battery life was sufficient, and Zhang Ze didn't mind taking a detour. Moreover, he was going to the sea there and had no intention of getting close to the island.

Hong Kong Island is not big, so it doesn’t take much time to get around it.

It was already past nine o'clock when the longline bait was set up, but it was almost eleven o'clock when he reached the sea area.

There are quite a few small isolated islands popping up here. Fishing boats passing by the isolated islands can basically see schools of fish from their fish finders, so there is only a small difference.

He is estimated to be nearly twenty nautical miles away from Nan'ao Island. To the east is Dongsha, which is just a slight detour.

Along the way, he didn't encounter a single ship.

After wandering around the islands in sight, Zhang Ze had a rough idea of ​​what was going on here, so he sailed to the smallest island.

On the surface, this island seems to be the smallest, but the underwater reefs should be the most widely distributed, so the fish resources here are also the best.

Other locations occasionally show a bit of red, mostly yellow-green. However, there is a lot of red on the fish finder, indicating that there are either big fish or a lot of fish gathering here.

After confirming the fishing spot, Zhang Ze turned off the engine and let the fishing boat continue to glide on the sea for a certain distance before lowering the anchor.

If the bottom of the water is sandy, you can place the anchor while the boat is sliding, so that the anchor groove is firm and the boat can stop earlier.

But the island here is basically a reef area. Let’s put the anchor first and then I’ll cut it off for you to see.

The water depth in the place he chose is close to fifty meters, and the closer it gets to the island, the shallower it gets. It is surrounded by many reefs, forming a natural submarine basin.

That is to say, Zhang Ze cannot see the situation at the bottom of the water. If he could see it, he would find that there are more aquatic plants and algae on the bottom of the water here than near other isolated islands, so there will be more fish resources than in other bare places.

Small fish like to hide in aquatic plants, and algae are also food for many small fish.

The big fish will be attracted by the small fish, and a good ecological circle will gradually be formed.

And it’s not just fish, there should be no shortage of crabs and lobsters here.

So Zhang Ze immediately put down the shrimp pots. Ground cages are not easy to place in this kind of terrain. Unfortunately, the crab pots he requested are still being made and will have to wait for a while.

There have been a lot of swimming crabs recently, and every time I return home, I can see crabs everywhere at the pier, so the price is very cheap now.

However, Zhang Ze has space, so he can catch some crabs that are left in the space and take them out during the Chinese New Year period, saying they are overwintering crabs, which will probably trick a lot of people.

It was almost noon when the shrimp pots were set up, but he was not very hungry yet, so he took out the fishing rod and started fishing.

This time, the fishing rod was directly adjusted to the hardest tuning, and the fishhook was also chosen to be slightly larger.

Catching small fish is no fun, he still prefers catching big fish.

As long as you find a school of fish, the effect of the magic bait is always very good, and the efficiency of catching fish is very fast.

As a result, the opening was slow today, and the first fish turned out to be only a bass weighing half a catty.

Zhang Ze didn't mind even a pound of fish, and he didn't know why he opened his mouth so wide. It wasn't too small for him to hang a fishhook, but he still took the space into it and kept it as a spare bait.

Then, he caught several small fish in a row, leaving him speechless.

Knowing that the fishhook was still smaller, Zhang Ze replaced it with a larger one.

Although some fish with large mouths can still be swallowed, at least most fish under one pound can be eliminated.

After changing the hook, although the fishing rod still shook slightly, no fish took the bait for a while.

At this time, seven or eight small fish gathered at the bottom of the water and swam around the bait. Their gathering had successfully attracted the attention of many large fish.

After waiting for about two minutes, the fishing rod inserted on the base suddenly bent down, and then a clanking sound was heard.

Zhang Ze, who was distracted, was immediately called back his attention and quickly raised his pole to stab the fish.

As soon as he lifted the fishing rod, he immediately felt a huge pulling force, and finally a big one came out.

Zhang Ze roughly knew the size of the underwater fish by feeling it. It was at least ten kilograms, but probably no more than twenty kilograms.

The drum kept making a "sizzling" sound, and it wasn't until he put his hand on the rocking pan that he stopped the fishing line from continuing to be released.

The underwater fish are very strong and keep swimming towards the deep water, but fortunately they are not that fast.

Zhang Ze took off the fishing rod and put it on his belly. This not only made it easier to exert force, but also pulled the fish up faster.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although the effect of the physical aura has only lasted two days, he can clearly feel that his physical condition is better than before, and his whole body is full of strength.

Why do you need to walk the fish now? Just one word, do it!

He kept lifting the rod to reel in the line, and every time he lifted the rod, he could pull back a large portion of the fish.

The fish only ran more than thirty meters, but it kept exerting force during this period. Sometimes Zhang Ze was still forced to stop reeling in the line and pull it first.

But it still only took five or six minutes for this big fish weighing more than ten pounds to appear on the water.

Zhang Ze took a closer look and found that it was a catfish.

The body of this catfish was blue-gray-brown and its belly was gray-white. He recognized it at a glance as a rare and precious red-billed catfish, second only to the yellow-lipped fish.

Seeing this fish, Zhang Ze became more motivated, and he spun the boat very fast.

Why did he come here? It was just to see if he could catch the red-billed gurnard. Unexpectedly, the first bigger fish he caught was.

Soon, he pulled the fish to the side of the boat, and then he started walking towards the stern entrance of the boat.

When you use a net to catch fish or set a hook, it is not as convenient as going directly to the stern of the boat and retracting it into the space, and it is not easy for fish to escape.

[Successfully caught a red-billed gurnard, weighing 16.55 kilograms, experience 20.]

The experience value is directly ten times different from that of ordinary croakers, which also illustrates the preciousness and rarity of the fish.

At present, Zhang Ze has a little understanding of how to obtain experience points. Basically, the higher the price and the smaller the quantity of fish, the higher the experience value will be.

The 16-pound red-billed gurnard is already pretty good, but the King Fish is estimated to weigh at least 70 to 80 pounds, which is still far from it.

However, by catching such a red-mouthed gurnard, I have probably made back the cost of this trip, and I feel that it should be no problem to sell it for five to six hundred.

Although its economic value is far less than that of yellow lip fish, it is also more expensive than most groupers, and its maw is quite popular in the market.

That is to say, the quantity is still good now, but in later generations, the top-quality red-mouthed catfish meat alone can be sold for six to seven hundred and one catty, and the fish belly can be directly sold for hundreds of thousands.

Catching this fish was easy for him, but the hot weather still made him sweat profusely.

Zhang Ze put away the fishing rod, went to the cabin to get a towel to wipe off his sweat, and then went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

The weather is good today, but unfortunately the sun is too strong, so it is not a good time for fishing in the afternoon.

Zhang Ze didn't like fishing in the sun, so he lay down on the sofa in the living room and took a nap after lunch.

Originally it was best to rush out in the afternoon, but catching a red-billed squid made him change his mind, and he decided to stay here for night fishing.

The longline is hung with magic bait, and he doesn't need to worry about the bait getting stinky.

When I woke up, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, but Zhang Ze really couldn't sleep.

Looking at the sun in the sky, he looked a little helpless. It's really hard to live without mobile phones in this era.

In later generations, fishing boats were equipped with wireless devices. Even if he was not fishing and playing with his mobile phone, he could quickly pass the time and go fishing at night.

Nowadays, let alone smartphones, even Tetris game consoles and Overlord have to wait for several years.

Fortunately, he was not unprepared. There were chess, mahjong and cards on board.

Playing alone, Zhang Ze had no choice but to choose playing cards, took out two cards and played Solitaire.

At this time, an old-looking iron boat approached slowly in the distance.

The ship seemed to have noticed him. The ship that was originally heading this way changed its direction slightly and seemed to be making a half circle.

Zhang Ze happened to be at the window, and the ship was running normally, but its sudden change of direction attracted his attention and curiosity.

So he went to get the binoculars and observed the fishing boats in the distance.

There were two people standing outside the cockpit of the fishing boat smoking. The sun was blocked by the eaves above the corridor. It was indeed much more comfortable to stay outside.
