Seagull Island

The mangroves are very close to Seagull Island. In less than a few minutes, the fishing boat arrived in front of a sandy beach on Seagull Island.

There is no dock on Seagull Island, so Chen Zhiyao could only move the traps, fishing gear and some things that might be used onto the kayak, and then row to the beach.

Although this island is very close to the village, it has not been developed yet. Apart from the nearby fishermen, there are basically no tourists, so the surrounding sea water is particularly clear and clean.

The water at your feet is transparent and you can see the bottom, while the sea in the distance is as clear and crystal as jelly.

Clear waters

There are few people here, the beach is very clean, and there is soft fine sand everywhere. Walking on the beach, my mood suddenly became better.

After walking a few steps, Chen Zhiyao saw some traces of small animals crawling on the beach.

Children who grew up by the sea should all know that these clear yet slightly messy footsteps are the traces left by an octopus crawling.

Following the footsteps of the octopuses, after walking less than two meters, Chen Zhiyao saw a little creature that was exhausted and a little dehydrated by the sun.

"Poor little guy."

Although she said that it was pitiful, Chen Zhiyao couldn't wait to reach out to it with the clamp in her hand.

The octopus was now completely exhausted and she easily picked it up and threw it into the bucket.

Octopus +1

After walking a few more steps, Chen Zhiyao found a large cat's eye snail on the wave-shaped beach.

This guy was just about to lie down in the sand. If he had come a little later, he would have probably all hidden in the sand.

Chen Zhiyao happily picked up this unique cat's eye snail and said, "This big eye looks quite realistic."

The sea water had risen halfway, and Grandpa Chen was leading the way. The two were preparing to go to the rocky beach not far away to set up traps.

Chen Zhiyao was holding the trap in both hands and carrying a bucket for catching seafood, and she was more than ten meters behind Grandpa Chen.

Suddenly, Grandpa Chen in front of her waved excitedly at her, and then an excited voice came:

"Tangtang, the beach here is full of clams. Hurry up and get the scoop net over here to sift out the clams."

"Hey, here I come." Chen Zhiyao put the trap aside and trotted over.

Soon, she saw small shells that looked like melon seeds all over the ground.

The scientific name of clams is Clams, and because their shape and size resemble melon seeds, they are called clams here.

The shell of the clam is oval, about 2 cm long, very thin, with a smooth surface, and comes in several colors, including brown, gray, white, etc.

These little guys generally live in mudflats and can occasionally be seen on the beach.

Chen Zhiyao took the scoop net and quickly scooped up the small shells mixed with fine sand. She then sifted about two kilograms of them into the sea water to wash them.

The witch is a witch

Then I got a big handful of clams that looked as beautiful as gems.

Although this clam is not as big as a clams, the meat inside is very full and tastes better.

The most important thing is that clams are much more valuable than clams, and they cost at least thirty or forty yuan per pound at the purchasing station.

The ground was covered with clams and the two of them had no time to put away the traps.

Chen Zhiyao moved quickly, pulling all these cute little creatures into the scoop net, and then sifting them into the sea to wash them.

The two of them kept repeating these two actions, and when they saw the sea water slowly rising, they reluctantly walked towards the shore.

At this time, Chen Zhiyao had already scooped up nearly five or six pounds of clams, and Grandpa Chen was even more exaggerated, with at least eight pounds of the little guys in the bucket.

Chen Zhiyao smiled and gave the vigorous old man a thumbs up:

"Grandpa, you are still amazing. You are still as skilled as ever."

"You have such a sweet mouth, little girl."

When the two arrived at the rocky beach, they saw that the sea water had completely flooded over, leaving only a few slightly larger reefs.

The ground trap should be placed in a place where the sea water is as deep as possible. Now that the sea water has risen, it is obviously no longer suitable.

So the two of them went back to where they had landed and prepared to kayak around Seagull Island.

Look around to see if there is a better place to put the trap.

Seagull Island is not big. There is a large white sand beach where the boat stops. If you paddle the kayak further, you will reach the rocky beach.

Walking forward from the rocky beach, there are only large rocks and steep cliffs.

There is also a small beach behind Seagull Island, but the beach there is not as beautiful as the one in front.

It took the grandfather and grandson about half an hour to walk around the entire island along the coastline.

They were lucky enough to find a Feng Shui treasured site.

Under the large reefs, there are many small reefs of different sizes and coral reefs. This sea area is particularly suitable for fish and crabs to live.

This place is not only suitable for placing traps, but also particularly suitable for fishing. The two men paddled the kayak towards the shore with satisfaction.

The bait in the trap had already been placed on the boat. Chen Zhiyao fixed it with a large stone on the shore and then threw the trap directly into the sea.

Then, the two couldn't wait to set up their fishing gear and started today's fishing.

Both grandfather and grandson like to catch big fish. They unisonly hung a living prawn on hook No. 3 and started bottom fishing.

As soon as the fishhook was put into the water, Chen Zhiyao looked at her grandfather with great interest:

"Just fishing is too boring. Let's have a competition to see who can catch the biggest fish. The loser will treat the whole family to ice cream."

Having learned his lesson from last night, Grandpa Chen shook his head and changed the content of the game.

"We're not comparing size, we're comparing weight. When we go back, we'll see who has caught the heaviest amount of fish."

Chen Zhiyao thought confidently that the fish she caught would definitely be the biggest, and there didn't seem to be any difference in weight.

But Grandpa Chen doesn't think so. Although he doesn't often catch big fish, he catches small fish quite often. He may not lose in terms of weight.

Both the grandfather and the grandson believed that they would win. They stared at the sea with serious faces, waiting patiently for the first fish to be caught.

But after 10 minutes, there was still no movement on the fishing rods in the hands of the two men.

Just as Chen Zhiyao was about to pick up the fishing rod to see if the bait was still there, she suddenly felt a force in her hand.

The reel was rotating slowly and the pulling force from the fishing rod was not strong. Chen Zhiyao thought it should be a small fish weighing one or two kilograms.

But it was the first fish of the day after all. Chen Zhiyao was in a good mood and it took her two minutes to pull the little guy up.

"Oh, it's a bluefin bream. This guy is quite expensive. Not bad, not bad. It's a good start."

Chen Zhiyao smiled wantonly, and at the same time, she did not forget to give a provocative look at Grandpa Chen who was still motionless.

"Don't worry, it's still early."

Grandpa Chen still had a faint smile on his face, looking calm, but he was very anxious in his heart.

Just when Chen Zhiyao caught another stonefish, there was finally movement from the fishing rod in Grandpa Chen's hand.

"Squeak..."

The reel squeaked as it was pulled by the fish in the sea, and the fishing line was pulled out frantically.

Based on his feeling, Grandpa Chen felt that this should be a big fish weighing more than 10 kilograms.

A big fish was caught. Grandpa Chen stood up excitedly, squatted down and started to reel in the fish.
