Chen Yuan got up early in the morning, made breakfast, and served the two little babies to eat.
"Dad, come on." Dabao said.
"Dad, that's number one." Xiaobao said.
"Come here, give daddy a sweet scent." Chen Yuan leaned his face towards him.
Dabao and Xiaobao, one by one, kissed Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan laughed happily. He was doubly happy to have two daughters.
Car horns honked outside.
"Go quickly, I'll take Dabao and Dabao to the school bus." Yan Xiaoxi said.
"Okay, I'm out." Chen Yuan took the fishing gear bag and trotted out.
Zhou Sheng was driving the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Chen Yuan threw his things in the back seat and got into the passenger seat: "Let's go."
The opening ceremony was held at the Park Plaza not far from the pier. When Chen Yuan and others passed by, the opening ceremony had already begun.
The county magistrate was speaking on the stage. Chen Yuan and the others finished speaking within two minutes of arriving, and then a large group of people walked to the pier.
Tens of thousands of people have registered online.
But when I came to collect the forms, there were about 14,000 people.
Arriving at the dock, Chen Yuan found his father and the others, then led a referee, got on an 8.9-meter double-barrel pontoon, started the boat, and left the dock.
One judge per boat, plus five players, that's six people.
Players can provide their own boats or use speedboats provided by the organizer.
Although there were 14,000 people who came to pick up my cousin, the number of people who actually formed a team and went out on the boat was estimated to be only seven or eight thousand.
There are many people who did not come due to various reasons. Others just gave up.
The official fishing start time is at 10:30 and ends at 3 p.m.
It was still early to arrive at the fishing position.
More than a thousand boats came out today, scattered across dozens of square kilometers of water. The distance between everyone was actually very far.
And there is a referee on each boat. These referees are newly enlisted soldiers. The county negotiates with the army and sends people to serve as referees.
For the sake of fairness, the entire competition process is videotaped.
Chen Yuan and the others arranged the fishing rods.
Dad Chen took out the mineral water and handed a bottle to the referee.
He must have just joined the army and waved his hand: "I have water."
"If you are thirsty, I have plenty of mineral water here." Father Chen said with a smile.
The younger brother was not good at talking, so he just smiled.
It was almost half past ten, and the boy checked their fishing rods.
You can use artificial bait, but only one artificial bait. For fish hooks, you can only use a single hook.
There was nothing wrong with the inspection. When the time came, Chen Yuan and the others started to lower the pole.
Chen Yuan hung up the bait, went down to the joint, and pulled up a mullet, which is a mullet. Chen Yuan used a larger one first, and then he lifted it directly. This aconite weighed more than a pound...
Zhou Sheng used the artificial bait, but no one bit the hook after teasing it for a few times.
Dad Chen and Dad Zhou Sheng used Lar and Sea Centipede respectively, and they also caught fish, a set of Aconitum and a piece of rice...
Yan Fuli used artificial bait but did not catch any fish. Then he and Zhou Sheng quickly changed the hook to pulled bait or sea centipede.
The way to use Taiwan fishing for sea fishing is to pull the bait. After choosing a position, keep pulling it, and it will be easy to gather fish.
If you catch some fish that look relatively small in size, use a ruler to measure them. Those that do not meet the standard will be thrown away directly. Those that meet the standard will be thrown into the live water tank and raised.
We had made a nest in advance, and the fish were all gathered together. There were many fish around, and Chen Yuan and the others caught fish one after another.
It was almost noon, maybe because the weather was getting hot, or for some other reason, I stopped talking.
Yan Fuli looked at Chen Yuan's father: "It's all your fault for running away from the fish...exploding the nest."
"It's not a freshwater fish. Is there still a saying about a nest explosion?" Father Chen was a little depressed. He just caught a big fish and was very strong. He didn't pull it up and went off the hook.
Yan Fuli smiled: "I'm joking with you, it must be because the temperature is high, so I stopped talking."
Chen Yuan took out the dry food and handed some to the younger brother.
The little brother waved his hand: "I brought lunch."
"Then let's get some." Chen Yuan said.
"I'm a soldier, I can't..." The younger brother's face was a little red, as if he was embarrassed to say what he said next.
"It's noon, let's have something to eat." Chen Yuan smiled and took out the fruit and handed the younger brother an apple and a banana: "Don't refuse, the military and civilians are all close friends."
"Thank you."
Father Chen handed the younger brother another bottle of mineral water.
The sun is strong today and it's a bit hot. I've finished drinking all the mineral water.
Now that there is no mouth, Chen Yuan and the others filled their bellies and used artificial baits to draw them, hooked up sea centipedes, and even used pull baits...but the fish would not open their mouths.
Fishing is sometimes very mysterious. It’s not that there are no fish, but those fish just don’t open their mouths.
It was after two o'clock in the afternoon, and finally the fish came. But there were not many of them.
As soon as three o'clock arrived, Chen Yuan and the others drove the boat back to the port.
There were too many people participating in the competition, and results were registered in more than a dozen places. Chen Yuan and the others still had a party for a long time.
One day, 56 fish, totaling 61 pounds.
It should be 61.3 pounds, but 0.3 pounds is not included in the score...
I didn’t catch any good fish today, there were a few mackerel, rice tuna, a few small miscellaneous fish, and then there were all mullets. These fish are not delicious...
And these fish live in Houhai.
The water quality in Houhai looks very clear. However, the water discharged from the Cheung Chau Sewage Treatment Plant is discharged into Houhai.
If you don’t know, forget it. But if you know this, you have some sort of order in your mind.
After tallying the scores, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng put the fish back into the water with 117 points.
When it was time to check the results in the evening, Chen Yuan took a look at the results...
There are 1574 groups in total today.
Chen Yuan and his team ranked 164th.
"Hello." Chen Yuan called Zhou Sheng.
"ah?"
"Have you seen our results?"
"Are the results out?"
"You can check it online."
"We are not in the top 50," Zhou Sheng said.
"No. I didn't even make it into the top 100... 164th place." Chen Yuan said.
"I'll go. We caught a lot today, and we made a nest in advance. How come there are so many people who are stronger than us?" Zhou Sheng expressed his dissatisfaction.
"I just watched some people's fishing competition videos. They all gave up big fish and focused on small fish. They used the last bit to compete for points... We caught more big fish." Chen Yuan said.
If you catch small fish, 117 points means 117 small fish...and the weight of small fish can also be counted.
The small fish in Houhai are mainly spearfish, which is similar to Shajian, or a type of Shajian.
Tip fish are similar to white stripes. They both live in groups. If you find a school of tip fish, just keep pumping and you're done.
"For 100th place, how many points?"
"164 points." Chen Yuandao.
"The difference is a bit big." Zhou Sheng said: "This is a problem with the strategy. We should also focus on small fish."
Five people, 164 points...that is, each person catches 32 small fish, which is almost enough.
Small fish are mostly found in shallow water areas, places with a lot of aquatic plants, and at the drainage outlets of sewage plants. Especially the drainage outlets are overrun with small fish. It is not difficult to catch 32 small fish in five hours.
