Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 570 Nudity
Perhaps because the fishing environments at Dameisha and Dapeng Bay are different, the fish species, apart from the rock goby, have changed a lot, and Qin Dahe has once again become a curious child.

"What is this?" It was a grayish-black fish, not very big, and its pouting lips looked funny.

He sensed something was wrong when he caught it. It was a fish that weighed less than a pound, but it was darting around everywhere, pulling the line. He had never seen such a fierce sea fish except for GT.

"The triggerfish is very strong and is also a type of filefish. Just remember to skin it before eating it."

The two had a decent harvest today, but that was about it; without the tiger grouper, their income decreased significantly.

"No wonder."

Today I brought a water-absorbing fish basket with a few pieces of foam on it, the kind you just throw into the sea. When I threw the triggerfish in, it created a splash.

There are already seven fish inside, but unfortunately they are all small fish.

"Awei, are you tired working on the big fishing boat?" Qin Dahe asked curiously, casting his line out at will.

"I'm the second supervisor on the large purse seine boat, but I also have to sort the catch regularly, which is exhausting."

Apart from the captain and chief engineer, everyone else has to get involved in their work when they're not busy; there's no one idle on board.

However, because he was the second engineer, his salary was much higher than that of ordinary ship's workers.

"How big is the ship?" Qin Dahe asked curiously.

"The 35-meter-long seine net is mainly for catching tuna," Awei said with a smile. "In March of this year, we caught seven million in one net, and each of us received a bonus of 20,000 yuan."

"Awesome." Seven million in one net, that's terrifying! "How big was the biggest fish you caught?"

"maximum?"

"There's no such thing as 'biggest,' only 'bigger.' When we're fishing in schools of fish, we often end up with sharks."

As they were chatting, Qin Dahe's fishing rod suddenly sank, and he caught another fish.

"Ce, this one's not small." He tucked a large handful of knuckles under his armpit, the pressure drop was five kilograms.

If a normal fish can't be pulled by even five kilograms of drag, you can just forcefully reel in the line.

"Stone grouper?"

"It doesn't seem like it, it might be GT again," he said uncertainly.

It's quite strong, the release mechanism makes a creaking sound, but the line release speed isn't fast, probably only seven or eight kilograms at most.

Before he could retract the line, he cut it.

"Damn it, you son of a bitch." Anyone would curse at this point.

"Sea Wolf, I guess."

When the line was retrieved, not only were the hooks gone, but the sinker was also gone, and the leader was broken into stubble.

Reluctantly, I re-tied the leader, and the fishing hook also had to be tied on the spot, which was incredibly troublesome.

Because of the risk of tangling, the hooks on the leader are tied very short. The sea fish bite fiercely, and if they swallow a little too deeply, they will dry up the main line.

Awei cast his line again and caught a fish.

It was also a large shipment, and then the line was cut again.

"."

"A bunch of sea wolves?"

"Maybe so. Since fishing boats can't go out to sea now, all sorts of fish have come here," he said speechlessly.

Shenzhen Bay and Dapeng Bay are controlled sea areas; during the fishing moratorium, even a god wouldn't be able to sneak in and trawle.

"Damn it, do you have a wire leader?"

"No."

"Never mind, let's wait a bit." Qin Dahe sighed, took out a black pine branch, and handed it over.

The two of them sat on the boat smoking.

Sea wolves need to hunt everywhere and won't stay in one place for long, so just wait.

It would be great to have a hand-casting net. You can chop up the fish and use them as bait, and you can catch at least a dozen fish in one cast.

However, fishing is prohibited in Shenzhen, so he didn't dare to bring anything indiscriminately. The two were smoking when some fish started splashing, and even though Qin Dahe had never been on a fishing boat before, he knew that the sea bream were feeding below.

"sardine?"

"Uh, more or less. This is mackerel, which is also a type of sardine. They're the cheapest kind. You can catch some if you want," Awei said nonchalantly.

When this kind of fish is caught in the open sea, it is usually chopped up and used as bait. When it is brought back to port, it is thrown into the sea. The money it makes is not even enough to cover the cost of diesel fuel.

"Is it good?" He casually grabbed one with the net, it was blue on top and white on the bottom, it weighed about two ounces, but the markings were quite nice.

"The meat is a little tough. When I was a child, my dad would catch it and slowly braise it. It tasted quite good when we ate it for the second meal."

"Never mind then." Qin Dahe shook his head and threw it away.

Sardines are the same way; they don't taste good the first time, but the leftovers from the second meal taste quite good, so they're not worth bringing back.

At least the stone goose is delicious, but Awei is too lazy to catch this stuff. I bet it won't even fetch a dollar a pound once it's on land.

After waiting for a while, the fish in the water finally dispersed.

The sea started to get rough again. Seeing that the waves weren't too big, the two opened the fins and filled the airbags with air.

"This thing is really useful; it's enough for even going out to sea." Awei touched the boat, feeling extremely satisfied.

"Hehe, please recommend it to me when I officially start selling it."

"Easy to say."

As soon as the wind and waves came in, the fish started to bite more, and the rods took two big bends.

Qin Dahe happily began reeling in the line, and soon, a huge, ugly fish appeared before him, with a very large mouth, like a toad.

"this?"

"Toadfish, tastes pretty good," Awei said after glancing at it. "There might be something inside, you can open it up if you want."

"I'll get more when I get back. I'll bring two more home today." Looking at the bulging, ugly fish, he was overjoyed. Sea fishing is so much fun.

I never expected that fish could open blind boxes.

The naming conventions for fish in the sea have become apparent; for example, the ugly one with a large mouth is called a toadfish.

Fish that like to stay in the crevices of rocks and have spots on their bodies are called grouper, and sea bream with yellow fins are called yellowfin sea bream.

And the mackerel we just saw, its body is just like blue and white porcelain, it's so beautiful.

It was already 10:30, and the tide had just receded, so neither of them wanted to go back.

You can see beautiful women from afar; it's quite enjoyable to glance at them when you're tired of fishing.

"Damn, this thing is huge." Awei pulled up a three-ounce stone nine-gong, which is considered a very large breed.

However, he wasn't talking about a fish, but a "young woman" swimming.

Perhaps due to their skill and daring, they were only about fifty meters away from the shark net, and the waves were truly turbulent.

"Wipe your drool, it's about to drip onto the boat."

"Haha."

The two of them turned around at the same time to watch people swimming, and just then a wave crashed over them, bringing out a white object.

Upon closer inspection, it's an eye mask?

"Damn, we've revealed it." Awei turned his head away, a little embarrassed.

"What's there to be afraid of? They might ask you to help retrieve the cover later." Qin Dahe had seen all sorts of situations, and he joked with great interest.

"Get lost."

The two men's loud laughter still attracted the attention of some people, who followed their gaze to the white-clad figure.

The old perverts were all ready to help, but they didn't expect that the person would put it back on while diving, which made them feel sorry for them.

I didn't expect her to be such a good swimmer.

The only people who actually showed their nipples were the two fishermen on the boat.
