After logging off, he had to wait for half an hour.
It gave the fish in the sea enough time to surf the net.
During this period, the three of them chatted on the ship and were not bored.
Of course, it was said that there were three people, but in fact, only Yang Hongtao and Yang Fan were chatting happily.
Yang Xiaohai really couldn't let go.
When Yang Fan talked to him, he usually said something half-heartedly, like a stuffy gourd.
However, this Yang Fan would not blame him. After all, this kid lost his parents at a very young age. It was understandable that his personality became eccentric and silent.
Time flew by as they chatted.
After waiting for half an hour.
Yang Hongtao sailed the boat back to the sea area and pulled up the floating net that he had just laid.
"Hualala!"
As soon as the net was pulled out of the water, he saw many fish hanging on it in twos and threes.
There were quite a lot of fish, skewers after skewers.
However, they were all small fish such as green fish, white fish, and mullet. Not only were they small, but they were also very cheap. The purchase price might only be a few yuan, so they were used as bait.
"Huo, it was not bad today. We caught quite a lot!”
After pulling up all the nets, Yang Hongtao took a glance and found that he had caught at least 40 to 50 fish. He immediately grinned.
As he said before, the bait was very important.
Now that he had these freshly caught fish as bait, the effect of the lower row of hooks would definitely not be bad today.
After the net was put away, the three of them untied the fish together.
Then, Yang Hongtao took out a kitchen knife and cut the fish into pieces to bait them.
After he was done, Yang Hongtao drove the boat in a certain direction.
After driving for about half an hour.
The three of them came to an unfamiliar sea area. This was the area that Yang Hongtao had chosen to place the hook today.
"Alright, this is the place. I've set the hook here twice in the first half of the year. There should be quite a lot of fish here.”
As he spoke, Yang Hongtao handed the rudder to Yang Xiaohai and let him drive the boat. Yang Hongtao himself was ready to release the hook.
The so-called row hook.
It was to tie side branches to a long main line, and then tie hooks and pendants to the side branches. To put it bluntly, it was similar to fishing, but the method of arranging hooks could place many hooks at once.
Today, Yang Hongtao had prepared a total of three baskets of hooks.
A basket of main threads was 500 meters long, and there were 150 hooks tied neatly on it. The three baskets added up to 450 hooks.
If every ten hooks could hit one fish, then there would be about forty to fifty fish.
However, it was actually very difficult to achieve a 10% success rate in fishing.
Yang Hongtao had been setting up hooks for several years, and the success rate was generally around 5%, which meant that only one fish would be caught for every 20 hooks.
It sounded like the probability of catching a fish was too low.
But in fact, if they were lucky enough to catch a few valuable fish, they could make a lot of money. After all, the price of seafood was not a joke. A slightly expensive fish could be sold for hundreds or thousands.
Therefore, fishing was like a lottery for fishermen nowadays.
The coastal fishery resources were getting more and more scarce. It was impossible for ordinary fishermen to catch a lot of fish in a small boat.
They could only pray that every time they went out to sea, they could catch valuable goods like the big yellow croakers and red spotted fish. That way, they could earn some money to support their families.
After choosing the position to lower the hook.
Yang Hongtao began to place the hooks. He released two baskets of hooks in a row.
Just as he was about to put down the last basket of hooks, Yang Fan suddenly spoke.
"Tao Zi, don't touch this basket of hooks. Let me find another place to put them.”Yang Fan said to Yang Hongtao with a smile.
"Oh? Fan Zi, you want to get involved? Alright, I'll leave this basket of hooks to you. Let's see if you catch more fish or I catch more fish later!”Yang Hongtao laughed.
"Alright." Yang Fan smiled.
Following that, Yang Fan began to cheat. He directly focused his gaze into the sea, wanting to see where there were more fish.
After looking around for a while, he realized that there weren't many fish here. Not only were there no decent schools of fish, but they were all cheap goods such as monkshood fish and sea wolf fish.
Yang Fan naturally did not fancy this kind of fish.
Therefore, he asked Yang Xiaohai to drive the boat to the open sea while he kept looking for fish in the sea.
Finally.
After driving for a while.
Yang Fan discovered that there were many fish hidden under the sea in front of him!
It was a reef area. There were many reefs at the bottom of the sea, and there were several schools of fish of different sizes hidden in the reefs!
Moreover, they were all groupers!
"Little Hai, drive towards the 9 o'clock direction! There are reefs under there. Be careful not to hit the reefs!”
Yang Fan shouted to Yang Xiaohai at the bow of the ship. Yang Xiaohai nodded and immediately did as he was told.
After the ship reached the outer area of the reef area.
Yang Fan immediately found an opportunity to put down the last basket of hooks.
"Fan Zi, why did you specially ask Little Hai to come all the way here to set up the hook?”
Yang Hongtao asked in confusion after Yang Fan finished setting all the hooks.
"I have a hunch that there will be a lot of fish here, so I'll set the hook here.”Yang Fan laughed when he heard that.
"Tsk! Premonition my ass. The place you chose definitely doesn't have as many fish as the place I chose just now. You even came so far to put them there. It's simply a waste of my oil!”Yang Hongtao pursed his lips.
"What, you don't believe my premonition?”Yang Fan smiled.
"I'd be a fool to believe you." Yang Hongtao rolled his eyes.
" Hehe." Yang Fan just chuckled.
He couldn't be bothered to compete with Yang Hongtao. After all, when the hook was retracted later, this guy's face would probably be swollen.
