Fishing was a sport that emphasized patience. After the bait was put into the water, there would not be fish to eat immediately. Therefore, impatient and irritable people were not suitable for fishing.
This was also the reason why there were very few young people who liked fishing. Most of them were middle-aged people who liked fishing. However, this was not absolute.
As the times progressed, many young people were willing to slow down their pace. Therefore, it seemed that many young people liked fishing now. However, compared to wild fishing, they were actually more interested in black pits and competitions.
However, Zhuo Rong wouldn't go fishing in the black pits or the competition, because he only wanted wild fish.
"He's here!"
Just as Zhuo Rong was sitting on the boat, waiting for the fish to bite the hook, Yuan Zhengqing, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said. Then, Zhuo Rong saw his fishing rod start to light up.
With a heavy bite, Yuan Zhengqing suddenly raised his rod and stabbed the fish.
"The water depth here is not too deep, only about five meters, so the fish is not particularly big. After we get on the fish, feel the feel of it. We are not in a hurry to release the force.”
Yuan Zhengqing said to Zhuo Rong as he pulled the fish up.
"Alright, I got it." Hearing Yuan Zhengqing's words, Zhuo Rong nodded.
"Eh? If you move the fishing rod to the side, it looks like the yellow wings are going astray.”However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Rong saw Yuan Zhengqing's fishing line begin to deviate towards him.
The yellow wings that Yuan Zhengqing mentioned were actually yellow snappers, which was their local name.
Seeing Yuan Zhengqing's fish running towards them, Zhuo Rong also picked up his fishing rod and was about to retract it before moving it to the side. However, when he retracted his fishing rod, he felt that the fishing rod had instantly become heavier. At first, he thought that it was stuck at the bottom, but later on, he felt that it was not so.
"You've also served the fish. The fish caught up and bit the bait. This should be a black snapper.”Seeing Zhuo Rong's confused look, Yuan Zhengqing smiled and said to Zhuo Rong while pulling the fish. Zhuo Rong understood what Yuan Zhengqing said and started to turn the fish wheel, slowly pulling the fish out of the water.
The two of them were about the same speed, but Yuan Zhengqing was faster. When he lifted the fish out of the water, Zhuo Rong saw a fish with some golden threads on its back jumping around under the sun. It didn't look particularly big, but it was at least one catty.
"Not bad, about 500 grams of big yellow wings. Recently, the price of yellow wings here has been quite good. One 500 grams can be sold for 120.”
Because the fish in the sea ate more ruthlessly, this fish also swallowed the dead hook. Yuan Zhengqing also cut the fishing line and rehooked it.
At this time, Zhuo Rong's fish was also pulled up. It was indeed a black sea bream, but it was much smaller. Although this fish looked very big in the water, it actually only weighed six to seven taels. It was not too heavy.
Zhuo Rong also learned from Yuan Tianqing. After cutting the hook and the line, he also threw the fish into the live cabin. According to Yuan Tianqing, the fish was not deep.
Therefore, they could be kept alive in the living cabin. At least, it would not be a problem to keep them alive until they returned.
As long as the fish could live, Zhuo Rong could accept it. After all, he was here to sell wild fish.
Perhaps it was because they had made a good start, but for the next hour, Zhuo Rong and Yuan Tianqing were fishing. Basically, they would fish in one or two minutes after the hook was lowered.
Of course, some of them ran away, but overall, the effect was quite good.
After more than an hour, Zhuo Rong and Yuan Tianqing had pulled more than 20 fish. The biggest fish was about one and a half catties, and the smallest was two or three taels. However, they released these fish directly. Half a catty was the line between life and death for sea fish. They would collect them if they exceeded half a catty, and release them if they did not.
Even so, Zhuo Rong and the others already had thirteen to fourteen catties of fish in their live storage.
Looking at the current fish price, Zhuo Rong was already not losing out.
Of course, Yuan Tianqing was naturally willing to let his old classmate earn some money. This was not only a good opportunity to advertise, but most importantly, when he usually ran the boat together, the money earned was also shared between the two of them.
Therefore, even if it was 13 or 14 catties of fish, it would not be as much as the 1,200 yuan he was earning now. Therefore, he was far from being unbalanced.
However, after more than an hour, the fish seemed to have disappeared.
After waiting for another hour, only three fish came. After catching one, Yuan Tianqing brought Zhuo Rong to the second fishing spot. It turned out that fishing was really a matter of face. They were still fishing crazily just now, but when they reached the second fishing spot, they only caught three fish in total. It was already noon.
As the old saying went, it was difficult for immortals to catch fish at noon. Although this mainly referred to freshwater fish, it seemed that sea fish did not open their mouths at noon.
Zhuo Rong and Yuan Tianqing had a bowl of instant noodles on the boat. After eating a loaf of bread, they continued to eat. At three in the afternoon, the tide receded. As the water level lowered, the fish swam deeper and farther into the sea. They looked at the sky and Yuan Tianqing looked at Zhuo Rong.
"It looks like it's over today, but it's still alright. It should be about 20 catties.”Yuan Tianqing said to Zhuo Rong after opening the live cabin and taking a look.
"Well, it's not a loss. There aren't many fish left. Let's go back!”
Looking at the fish in the live cabin, Zhuo Rong couldn't hold back the urge to sell these guys. Hearing Zhuo Rong's words, Yuan Tianqing agreed.
Actually, he originally said this because he wanted to tell Zhuo Rong that there weren't many fish left now. Should he go back? Of course, if Zhuo Rong wanted to fish a little longer, that was fine too.
But now that Zhuo Rong understood, that was great.
After Yuan Tianqing and Zhuo Rong put away their poles, the two of them quickly returned to the dock. After arriving at the dock, Yuan Tianqing's service was really good.
He was driving a van. The reason why he was driving a van was because the back seat could be removed and a large plastic bucket could be placed. Since Zhuo Rong wanted live fish, the fish were directly transferred to the plastic bucket and then pumped with oxygen. Under normal circumstances, there would not be any problems.
Sure enough, when he pulled Zhuo Rong back to Zhuo Rong's house, none of the fish were dead. After putting all the fish into the bag and bringing it home, Zhuo Rong didn't even take a bath. Instead, he immediately opened the platform and started to fish.
Under Zhuo Rong's control, the platform also emitted a blue light. Zhuo Rong didn't need to say whether the fish was wild or what species it was. The platform would automatically detect it.
As the test ended, a wormhole appeared and Zhuo Rong's fish instantly disappeared in front of him. At the same time, four unpriced fish phantoms appeared in his shop.
