Sea-hunting system: I became rich by fishing at sea

Sea and sky one color

After lunch, the grandfather and grandson came to the boat's cabin together. The view here was very broad, and looking up, there was the endless sea.

Grandpa Chen started the boat and turned on the fish finder at the same time.

The fish finder consists of a transmitter and a receiver, and is mainly used to detect information about underwater terrain structure, water conditions and obstacles.

Using a fish finder, you can learn about the water depth, water temperature and fish distribution under the water area.

Moreover, the location, number and size of the fish school can be clearly detected.

In addition, obstacles can be avoided according to the terrain to prevent fishing boats from running aground.

Some of the new fish finders now have the function of locating and recording the activity tracks of fish schools.

The fish finder of this fishing boat was produced a few years ago and obviously does not have these advanced functions.

However, being able to detect the terrain and the location of fish is enough.

The family’s previous fishing boat also had a fish finder. Chen Zhiyao had used this thing when she was learning to sail, but she hadn’t used it in several years, so it seemed a little unfamiliar to her.

In the end, it was the experienced old man who stepped in and patiently taught her how to read the terrain and fish schools.

Chen Zhiyao was very smart and understood it immediately. She also found a group of very small marine fish through the fish finder.

However, the grandfather and grandson were intent on catching big fish, and they didn't even bother with small fish weighing one or two kilograms, so they continued to move the boat forward.

In fact, if you go out to sea, it is better to bring a fishing net to catch fish, which is more cost-effective than fishing.

However, Chen Zhiyao had just rented this fishing boat last night, and many things were not prepared yet, so she could only go fishing or go to the island to catch seafood.

Half an hour later, the fish finder finally found a group of large fish in the bottom water.

This is near the coast, and although it is bottom water, the water depth is only about tens of meters.

Chen Zhiyao parked the fishing boat, and the two of them enthusiastically went to the deck with their fishing gear to fish.

The fishing boat was not big, and in order to avoid the fishing lines getting tangled, the grandfather and grandson deliberately stood at the bow and stern, one of them.

Chen Zhiyao stood on the deck at the stern and took out the fishing rod with excitement. She added two small lead weights before hanging the bait.

Like just now at the rocky beach, the water depth is no more than ten meters, so two or three taels of lead weight are enough.

However, in the bottom waters of the sea, at least half a pound would be enough.

It’s different when there are fish below. Less than a few minutes after the hook was in the water, Chen Zhiyao felt the fishing rod in her hand suddenly sink.

The fishing line was pulled straight in an instant, and the reel turned even faster.

She quickly adjusted the unloading force a little tighter, and then began to play the game with this big guy.

The fish in the sea are unusually lively, swimming quickly in the water.

Chen Zhiyao felt that the fish should be around ten pounds and that she could still handle it, so she did not turn on her X-ray glasses to double her strength.

As the fish continued to rush around in the sea, she could clearly feel her strength rapidly draining away.

However, even as she was sweating profusely, the smile in Chen Zhiyao's eyes became even more intense.

"This guy is quite powerful, but no matter how hard you try, you can't escape from my grasp."

After pulling back and forth for a while, the big guy in the sea finally became a little exhausted. Chen Zhiyao quickly took the opportunity to turn the reel and start reeling in the line.

However, after only reeling in six or seven meters of line, this guy took a good rest and started a new round of fierce struggle.

The line that had just been taken back was soon returned.

The fishing line was constantly being retrieved and pulled out, causing quite a stir for the big fish on the seabed.

However, Chen Zhiyao was not in much better condition. Not only was she sweating profusely, but her arms were also sore.

However, the excitement and satisfaction I felt when pulling with the big fish is indescribable.

After another 10 minutes, the big guy in the sea finally ran out of strength and the reel barely moved.

Chen Zhiyao seized the opportunity and frantically turned the handle of the reel, starting the violent line-reeling mode.

The fishhook pulled the big fish in the sea slowly towards the fishing boat. The fish felt pain and struggled from time to time, but unfortunately it was still no match for Chen Zhiyao's crazy dragging.

Just two or three meters away from the fishing boat, a sound of splashing water was heard on the sea.

Immediately afterwards, a large purple fish jumped out of the water among the huge waves.

In the waves, it was obvious that the fish was as long as Chen Zhiyao's arm.

The back of the fish is purple-red, and there is an olive-colored horizontal stripe on the body. Obviously, this is a medium-sized octopus.

Red Fish

Red snapper, also called red snapper here.

The fish body is long and oval, with a beautiful purple-red back and a long olive-colored strip in the middle. The belly is silvery-white, and the scales on the body are large and round.

Octopus generally lives in the bottom waters of the deep sea. It is a carnivorous fish that feeds on invertebrates and small fish. It can grow to more than one meter in length.

The one in Chen Zhiyao's hand can probably only be considered a teenager's.

The fish was too big to fly up. Grandpa Chen had been waiting by the side with a scoop net, looking excited and waiting to scoop the fish.

As soon as the fish emerged from the water, the old man took a huge scoop net and scooped it up.

The muscles on Grandpa Chen's arms were extremely obvious, with blue veins bulging out, and he laughed happily:

"It's quite heavy, probably around 15 kilograms."

"Grandpa, how much is this fish per pound?"

This is a deep-sea fish. Chen Zhiyao rarely sees it and is not very clear about its latest price.

Grandpa Chen didn't even think about it and blurted out, "This size, about 40 to 50 yuan per pound."

"That's pretty good, this one is worth at least six or seven hundred dollars."

As she said this, she picked up the big fish with a smile on her face and happily let Grandpa Chen take a picture of her.

The grandfather and grandson took turns taking a few photos, and then Grandpa Chen urged his granddaughter to bleed the red snapper quickly.

Many deep-sea fish cannot be kept alive once out of the water. To ensure the quality of the fish meat, it is best to bleed and freeze them immediately after catching them.

Moreover, different species of fish require different locations for bleeding.

It was very simple to bleed the red snapper. Chen Zhiyao just made a cut on its head and tail and the bleeding was done.

Soon, the octopus's blood began to flow out from the incised aorta.

In order to avoid dirtying the deck, Chen Zhiyao even put the fish in a bucket.

After the blood was drained, Chen Zhiyao immediately put the red snapper into the freezer.

I have to say that Grandpa Chen was foresighted. He bought ice cubes and set up the freezer early on.

Chen Zhiyao didn't think so much when she went out in the morning. The only thing in her mind was taking the trap to the mangroves.

Her thoughts were still on fishing. She only wanted to go to the island to fish and catch a few big fish.

After this big fish was caught, Chen Zhiyao hardly moved the fishing rod in her hand.

The situation was pretty good over at Grandpa Chen's end. He caught two sea bass weighing six or seven kilograms.

Seeing this, Chen Zhiyao quickly picked up the fishing rod and moved to the bow of the boat to fish for bass.

Not long after, Chen Zhiyao caught a sea bass weighing about 6 kilograms.

It seems that the school of fish detected by the fish finder should be sea bass.

The two men were so engrossed in fishing that they didn't notice that the sun, which was originally high above their heads, was slowly setting over the sea.

Chen Zhiyao caught another sea bass weighing nearly 7 pounds. When she looked up, she found:

The sun in the sky has turned into an orange-yellow salted egg yolk, and the surrounding sky has also been dyed a warm orange.

Standing on the fishing boat, you can see the silhouette of Seagull Island in the distance, and there are many seagulls flying over the sea in search of food.

Chen Zhiyao thought silently in her heart that the name of Seagull Island was indeed correct.

Both of them caught several sea bass in the afternoon, and it didn't matter who won or lost the previous competition.

The grandfather and grandson walked happily to the cab and started their return journey.
