The sun has risen, and the sunlight is much softer.
After dinner, Chen Yuan went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth, then went into the bedroom to sleep.
As soon as he lay down, Lin Xinhai shouted: "Chen Yuan, after dinner let's go fishing over there."
"Okay." Chen Yuan responded.
“The reefs that unite the shoals are large and there are many groupers. Many fishing boats are fishing there…”
After fishing for squid all night, Chen Yuan fell asleep soon after lying down.
In a daze, the fishing boat started up, and someone came into the cabin. Chen Yuan squinted and saw that it was Zhou Sheng, and continued to sleep.
He Fei and Yang Xun also came into the bedroom and slept on the upper bunk. They muttered without knowing what they were talking about.
…
It was almost one o'clock when Chen Yuan woke up, and the air conditioner was a bit cold.
The fishing boat was shaking a bit.
Chen Yuan climbed up the stairs. Everyone was on the back deck, so he turned off the air conditioner.
Zhou Sheng was busy making lunch outside. Chen Yuan went over to help him and looked at the large group of dark clouds that were about to drift over in the distance: "It's going to rain."
"Yeah." Zhou Sheng nodded: "The shower will pass in a while."
For lunch, I had beef stew with potatoes and a pot of fish soup. There were a few small groupers, a few snappers, and octopus...
"How come this octopus only has its head left?" Chen Yuan looked at the prepared ingredients and said with a smile.
Zhou Sheng shrugged: "The leftover bait from fishing. The grouper today was so good that it ate the legs of the octopus and only the head was left."
“How much grouper did you catch?”
"There are more than 20 fish in total. I caught 9 fish...but they are not big. The largest one weighs just over six pounds, and it was caught by Meng Jianshan."
Meng Jianshan, who was filming the video in front of him, said loudly: "It's already quite big at over six pounds. This is the largest grouper I've ever caught."
Yang Xun next to him also said: "That's right, a grouper weighing more than six pounds is already very big."
"Brother Chen, the tide is about to rise, should we change the position to catch the big grouper?" He Fei said. He always felt that this position was not very good. Although there were many fish, there were no big fish, which was not enough.
When Chen Yuan found the position before, he was the big fish.
"Change seats after eating." Chen Yuan moved the folding chair out, and as soon as he sat down, it started to rain.
Chen Yuan quickly put away the fishing rod...
Zhou Sheng also brought the induction cooker back to the cabin.
It rains heavily.
Chen Yuan went over to look at the chart and said to Zhou Sheng: "Hold on to the pot, I'll change positions and go to the new fishing spot first."
"OK."
Chen Yuan started the fishing boat, switched sides, and ran for more than ten minutes to the southeastern location of the reef.
The fishing boat also left the area covered by dark clouds.
The waves here are also big, and the wind is blowing and whistling loudly.
Turning on the stabilizer is almost the same as not turning it on. It is replaced by manual control of the boat. Lin Xinhai sits in the driving position and controls the boat...
The beef in the pressure cooker is ready.
The hull stabilized for a while, and I made another fish soup...
Chen Yuan served Master rice and then a bowl of fish soup and fish meat: "Master, why don't you take a nap after dinner?"
"Sleep when the tide is over." Lin Xinhai said.
"good."
While eating, Chen Yuan arranged his fishing rod, picked an octopus in the living water tank, hung it on the hook, and threw it down.
After the dark clouds passed, the sun was still bright. Chen Yuan went back to put on sun protection clothes and saw Zhang Cheng's fishing rod was bent: "Zhang Cheng, you caught a fish."
Zhang Cheng was bragging to Yang Xun and the others when he turned around and saw the fishing rod. He quickly put down the iron basin and ran over: "It's stuck on the bottom and you can't take it back."
He Fei went over to take a look: "It should have been dragged into the hole by the fish."
"Then what to do?"
"Let's see if we can drag it out..."
The two fiddled there for a while, and they could feel the fish, but they couldn't pull it out...
After working on it for more than ten minutes, the meal was all finished. Finally, Zhou Sheng pulled the fishing line violently, but the fish failed to come up and a hook was lost.
"I'm so angry." Zhang Cheng beat his chest: "I'll kill the one that came ashore."
Zhou Sheng chuckled: "It's not that exaggerated."
Chen Yuan took up the fishing line, found a new position, and lowered the rod...
If you only use the fish detector to catch big grouper, it will be difficult to catch it. The area shown by the fish detector is very large. You have to keep looking...
The octopus bait used by Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng.
He Fei and the others used live bait. In addition to grouper, live bait can also catch Zhanghong and some other fish.
You have to wait to catch big fish.
The first one to catch the fish was Meng Jianshan. He also used live fish. Judging from the pulling force, the fish was quite big.
After a while, Zhou Sheng also caught a fish. The electric fishing reel easily pulled the fish up. When it came out of the water, a grouper weighing more than ten kilograms was already turning its skin and spitting bubbles...
Now that the tide is high, there is no need to keep changing positions.
He fished the fish out and put it on the octopus bait, then threw it away.
Lin Xinhai came over and helped bleed the fish: "Not bad, another big grouper."
Chen Yuan looked back and heard the bell ringing. He quickly picked up the pole and said, "The fish..."
Turn on the electric take-up line and easily harvest a grouper weighing more than ten kilograms.
Large groupers are usually not expensive groupers. They are sold to fishmongers. The better ones can cost more than 100 yuan, while the cheaper ones can cost 70 or 80 yuan.
The price is also very good...
Meng Jianshan was playing with the camera and holding a net in his other hand.
After Chen Yuan saw it, he went over to help. A piece of Zhanghong weighed more than 20 kilograms. Zhanghong of this size is considered very good...
"I won't sell this fish, it's sashimi." Meng Jianshan said.
"Do you want my help?" Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"No, just wait and eat after I'm done. I'll take the video footage..." Meng Jianshan carried the fish back to the cabin.
With the electric wheel, you can get out of the water quickly after catching a fish.
The fish struggles for a short time, so there is no need to expel acid. Catch it first, cook it fresh...the most delicious.
However, after bleeding the fish, it is better to freeze it in an ultra-low temperature freezer for a few minutes...
"The fish are coming." He Fei also caught a Zhang Hong, which was about the same size as Meng Jianshan's.
Chen Yuan set the hook again, and there was only this last octopus left in the living water tank: "This is the last octopus, here comes a big grouper."
The wish is good.
Chen Yuan's octopus bit the hook as soon as he put it down. It was a grouper that weighed only three or four kilograms. When he picked it up, Chen Yuan was a little confused: "How can I catch such a big octopus?"
Zhou Sheng chuckled: "Not bad. At least I made a profit... In the morning, Yang Xun used an octopus weighing more than two kilograms to catch a pig tooth."
Yang Xun turned his head and looked helpless: "My octopus weighs more than two kilograms, and that pig tooth only weighs one kilogram... they are not as expensive as my octopus."
Chen Yuan laughed loudly: "How did you catch it?"
"Seriously..." Yang Xun spread his hands and said, "I don't know anything else."
He Fei also laughed: "The point is that the octopus was eaten up."
"The fish is coming, the fish is coming..." Zhang Cheng shouted: "It's so powerful, it's a big fish..."
There is some difficulty in taking up the line with the electric wheel.
Generally speaking, the electric wheel can collect fish weighing twenty to thirty pounds very easily.
Judging from the strained performance of the electric wheel, the fish below is quite big, estimated to be over sixty pounds, and it must be a very explosive fish.
