Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

On the boat, the three of them were in a very relaxed mood. With the big manta ray, they had already paid for today’s bait and fuel, and the longline fishing was pure profit.

Of course, Zhao Qin doesn't think so in his heart. There is 40 in his system... Hey, I remember it was 49 points, how did it become 42 points?

Looking at the merit points again, he saw an increase of 150 points. He suddenly understood that the manta ray given to him by Huzi by the Ganqing System was also counted as being caught by himself.

There are still 42 points left, so there should be something good. He places all his hopes on today's longline fishing.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the place where we collected the hooks. We just finished it and went back, so it wasn't too late.

Zhao Pingyuan originally thought that Ah He would collect the line, hook it up himself, and let Zhao Qin sail the boat, but Zhao Qin refused and insisted on collecting it himself.

"Brother, I have better luck."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ping stopped being stubborn and told Ahe that each hook must be hung in order.

Zhao Qin hooked up the floating ball. It felt quite heavy when he first pulled it. Just when he was thinking that reeling in the longline for fishing was actually a physical job, the line in his hand suddenly shook. He was overjoyed and said, "Brother, first The hook hit the fish.”

Hearing what he said, Zhao Ping also became excited, "Is it big?"

"How do I know if I haven't come out of the water yet?"

"The weight, is it heavy to pull?"

Zhao Qin didn't know what to say. After all, it was his first time to reel in the thread. The situation was serious or not, so he simply shut up and gritted his teeth to pull the thread.

Finally, the first fish slowly revealed its true form. Ah He took a look at it and said excitedly: "Brother Ping, it's a sea wolf, weighing seven or eight pounds."

"Hey, it's a good start, pretty good."

Zhao Qin was a little unhappy. Last time, the price of sea wolf was 9 yuan, and this one was only worth [-] or [-] yuan. What if they were all fish like this?

It's not bad, if the hook is full of goods, I can earn six to seven thousand, plus the big devil ray, well, seven to eight thousand is stable.

Look at the teeth of the sea wolf

Although today's lucky value is 49 points, the income is supposed to be more than that, but today it is indeed a waste of too much time, and the ground cage cannot be collected today.

"Cut the thread, don't get bitten." Zhao Ping reminded.

"Can't cut it." Zhao Qin immediately refused, joking. Although the hook can be recycled, the thread will become shorter and shorter, and the system will consume merit points to buy it.

"Then use a wooden stick to knock it to death." Zhao Ping said, and had to take off the throttle to let the boat slow down.

The sea wolf fish is an extremely ferocious fish. Even sharks dare to bite it if it gets anxious. Moreover, the two rows of teeth on the top and bottom are like sharp saw teeth, and the bite force is amazing. The lightest result of a bite is that a piece of meat will be lost.

There was a wooden stick on the boat. He picked it up and knocked it on the fish's head a few times to confirm that the fish was dead. Then he carefully removed the hook and handed it to Ahe.

He threw the fish directly into the refrigerator next to him, and then reeled in the second hook. This time, the pulling force from his hand was not strong, but the line shook violently.

I quickly pulled it out of the water and found that it was a yellow snapper weighing more than a pound.

In fact, yellow snapper is also a very popular local fish. It tastes fresh and tender, and the fish meat is a little chewy with very few spines. Whether it is steamed or braised, it tastes great.

Just because it is a near-water fish and easy to catch, the current price is only slightly higher than that of black sea bream, about 30 yuan per pound.

"Brother, you are so lucky, both hooks are empty." Ah He smiled happily when he saw the harvest. It seems that this longline fishing is going well.

Zhao Ping also smiled. Well, Aqin's luck is really much better than his own.

Zhao Qin was a little dissatisfied. Damn, there wasn’t even a single piece of valuable good stuff. Don’t worry, there were only 100 hooks out of a total of 2.

Ah He hung up the hook, quickly opened the live cabin next to it, and threw the yellow snapper in. This fish was different from the previous sea wolf. Sea wolves are impatient. Even if they are not knocked to death after they come out of the water, they will not be able to survive. .

As expected, the third hook was empty, and only the heads of the shrimps were left. This situation is usually caused by puffer fish.

But on the fourth hook, he felt the weight again. What was different from before was that this time he didn't feel the line shaking. He said uncertainly: "Brother, it seems like the bottom is hanging."

"Can you pull it?"

Zhao Qin used his hands hard to reel in another two or three meters of line, and suddenly said excitedly: "Brother, it's not just hanging on the bottom, there is a fish."

Because he felt the shaking of the line, this fish was quite cunning, and it didn't move at first.

The water clarity today was average. When he pulled the fish to about one meter from the water, Zhao Qin saw a red figure. When he pulled the fish out of the water, Ahe immediately exclaimed, "Brother Ping, you are rich. What a big red spot.”

Zhao Ping was in the driver's seat. Because the longline fishing operation was close to the water, Zhao Qin's back was turned to him, almost blocking his sight.

Hearing Ahe's cry, he looked around and quickly ran closer to take a look, "Oh my God, it's so big. I'm really rich."

He danced excitedly. The red spot on his tail was estimated to be no less than 5 pounds.

"Brother, do you want to let go?" When Zhao Qin was watching the video of fishing in the sea, he had to give a needle when pulling out a good fish. At this moment, he also asked excitedly.

"Fortunately, we are fishing in the middle and lower layers, not the bottom, and the water pressure is limited."

Even so, Zhao Ping still took out a needle that he had prepared earlier. This needle was more like a medical needle. Although it was very thin, it had a hollow center.

Insert the needle into the fish bladder at a 45-degree angle along the scales on the posterior edge of the pectoral fin, and then squeeze the fish belly slightly with the other hand. When the fish belly looks normal, you can remove the needle.

In fact, it is impossible for a deflated fish to survive as long as a normal fish, but with good techniques, it is still very easy to keep the fish alive for a few hours.

Zhao Ping told the two people the essentials while operating. After the fish was completely released, he carefully held the fish with both hands, as if he wanted to kiss it, and put the fish into the living cabin.

I also checked the swimming posture of the fish. If the fish's belly is facing up, I have to turn it over manually to ensure the normal swimming posture.

"Aqin, go ahead and collect it. You are so lucky. You will collect all the ground cages tomorrow."

Zhao Qin was equally happy at this moment, so he did not refute. More than a hundred cages were collected, and there was no special cage collection machine on the ship, so it was very tiring.

Then the two hooks were empty again, and everyone was not discouraged. The red spot on the tail was worth at least nearly a thousand yuan. It was a big profit today, even if all the hooks were empty, it didn't matter.

When he pulled the ninth hook, Zhao Qin felt that he had encountered a similar situation. The initial pull was quite heavy, but he did not feel the fish line shaking. When he was about to come out of the water, he felt the fish shake slightly, but the amplitude was still not large. It's like pulling a stone.

When he came out of the water, Ahe was numb and had red spots again. It was smaller than the previous one, but it still weighed two or three pounds.

Zhao Ping ran over again and performed a small operation on the fish. He did not dare to let Zhao Qin and the others come, for fear that it would be killed by a needle. The price difference between the live and dead fish was more than half.

"Brother, do you want to hold on for a while?" Zhao Qin said with a smile.

Zhao Ping's hands were itchy upon hearing this, but he still shook his head and said, "Come on, you are lucky, I will cut off your luck."
