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

After lunch, it was already 1pm.

It takes about two hours to get back to the town's pier from Dolphin Island. And the traps we put in Mangrove and Seagull Island the morning before have not been collected yet.

Chen Zhiyao thought about going back early today and collecting the traps from both places, and then putting them into the sea together with the sticky nets.

However, before going back, you need to retrieve the two sticky nets and ten crab cages that were set up in the morning.

This morning, we had a good harvest at the beach, and we had an even better harvest at the small cave. When Chen Zhiyao walked into the cab, she had a proud smile on her face:

"We've had a lot of luck today, and I think the catch on the sticky net will be pretty good too."

"Okay, stop bragging here and start the boat." Grandpa Chen is used to big scenes, and his face remains calm.

The sticky net with small holes was placed in the sea area in front of the rocky beach, and the fishing boat arrived there soon.

Before pulling up the net, Chen Zhiyao was full of confidence, but when the entire net was pulled up by the crane, she felt slapped in the face.

The catch on the sticky net was pitifully small. Apart from a few golden pomfret weighing more than a pound, the rest were basically small sea wolves weighing one or two pounds.

But the number of sea wolves that cost 10 yuan per pound is not large, and I don’t know if the total amount is enough for 10.

After scooping up the fish with the sticky net, Chen Zhiyao was dumbfounded.

The day before yesterday I set fishing nets at Seagull Island, using the same small-hole sticky net. I clearly earned around 2,000 yuan, but I didn't expect the harvest today to plummet.

Then, Chen Zhiyao placed her hopes on the crab cages that were put into the water together.

The first crab cage was pretty good. It contained a conger eel weighing more than three pounds and a few octopuses.

But the next three crab cages were all light, and they were basically full of blue crabs, but they were not big, only about three or two small blue crabs.

And in the fifth crab pot, there were only a few octopuses and a small golden pomfret.

The stuff they received from the five crab cages was less than half a bucket in total. Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but mutter:

"With just this little stuff, has today's good luck already run out?"

Grandpa Chen patted his granddaughter on the shoulder and said kindly:

"There's also a sticky net and some crab pots. Maybe there will be a surprise later."

Having said that, the old man got up and went to the cab, drove the fishing boat to the back of Dolphin Island, and prepared to collect the coarse-mesh sticky net.

There are obviously a lot more fish hanging on this coarse-mesh sticky net than before, and they are bigger too.

Unfortunately, there is a problem. The fish hung there are basically sea wolves and silver carps, which cost 10 yuan or 8 yuan per catty.

In comparison, the harvest from the last few crab cages was slightly better.

The first crab cage I picked up contained two giant blue crabs weighing more than one pound.

There was a big hole on the second crab cage, but there were also two octopuses inside.

The remaining three crab cages basically contain orchid crabs weighing six or seven taels.

Seeing that his granddaughter looked unhappy, Grandpa Chen asked her to drive the boat while he took the fish off the fishing net.

Although the fishing net was quite long, there were not many fish hanging on it. It took Grandpa Chen less than an hour to clean up the catch from the two sticky nets and 10 crab cages.

There was a scale on the fishing boat, so he weighed it as well.

10 jins of golden pomfret, 60 jins of sea wolf, 55 jins of silver carp, 2 jins of octopus, 3 jins of conger eel, 5 jins of blue crab, and 4.

In fact, these catches are already very good for ordinary fishermen in the village.

It’s just that the harvest from the last two trips to the sea was so good that it instantly made Chen Zhiyao feel a little disappointed.

When Chen Zhiyao drove the fishing boat to Seagull Island, the people who had come to catch fish in the morning had already left.

At this time, the island was quiet, with only the sound of waves hitting the rocks and the cries of seagulls.

The two of them first went to the deep water rocky beach to collect the traps.

There are a total of 7 traps here. Except for one that is produced by the system, the other 6 are brought from our own fishing tackle shop.

We placed 7 traps, but only 5 were found in the end. We don’t know if the other two were stolen or blown away by the waves.

The only thing that made Chen Zhiyao feel better was that the trap produced by the system was still there.

Fortunately, this trap that cost her 1000 points did not disappoint her. There was a sea bass weighing more than 5 kilograms and a pearl grouper weighing more than 4 kilograms in it.

However, the remaining four traps were basically filled with golden pomfret and small sea bass, and the harvest seemed to be much worse than before.

Chen Zhiyao seemed to have accepted it and had already made good use of this setting in the morning.

On the way to the mangroves, I had already prepared myself mentally for the possibility that the harvest later might not be too good.

But no matter how hard she prepared herself mentally, Chen Zhiyao never expected that all six traps would be taken away without a single one left.

Although the tide was high and all nearby traces were submerged, all six traps were gone. It was obvious that they had been stolen.

And the two traps that disappeared from the reef beach might have been secretly taken away by someone.

Eight traps disappeared at once. When Chen Zhiyao returned, she was so angry that her face turned blue and she cursed the thieves.

"It was low tide today, so the fish must have been stolen by the people who came here to fish. They are so wicked that they will definitely get nothing from fishing in the future."

Thinking about the fact that all eight traps and the catch inside were gone, and that she had lost thousands of dollars in one go, Chen Zhiyao became angrier and angrier, and her face turned red with excitement.

"This place is still too close to the land, and many people come here to catch seafood. From now on, we will just do as you said before and lower the traps and sticky nets into the sea together."

"But these eight traps today can't come back either."

Grandpa Chen saw that his granddaughter was still unhappy, so he continued to comfort her:

"Today's harvest is already very good. We should not be too greedy."

Chen Zhiyao felt better when she thought of the three-knife fish, gooseneck barnacles and small blue dragon that she caught this morning.

The two came back early today and it was exactly 4 o'clock when they arrived at the pier.

Boss Xiao Yang knew that the grandfather and grandson had a lot of good things today, so he was waiting at the dock early.

As soon as the fishing boat docked, he couldn't wait to jump on board to help carry the fish.

Seeing the gooseneck barnacles and the little green dragons on the boat, Yang Jiajun's big round eyes widened with a shrewd light.

These rare and premium seafood are usually sold at a premium. If he can catch this batch of fish, he can make a lot of money by reselling it.

As soon as he returned to the purchasing station, Yang Jiajun directed the helpers to come and weigh the catch, while he personally weighed the gooseneck barnacles and small blue dragonfish.

"These Buddha's hand snails are of decent size, so let's sell them at 180 yuan per catty. As for the small blue dragons, those over one catty will be 200 yuan per catty, and those under one catty will be 185 yuan per catty."

At this time, the guy who was helping to weigh the fish brought the three-knife fish that Chen Zhiyao had picked up in the morning in a small bucket.

"Young Boss, you should make the offer for this three-knife fish."

"There's even three-knife fish. I almost missed this little guy, but it's a little small, so I can only offer 280 yuan per pound."

Although this price is much cheaper than the last time's knifefish, the fish is indeed a little small. Chen Zhiyao nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, just do as you say, Brother Yang."
