Chapter 42： Mackerel is worthless

Chapter 42 Mackerel is worthless

The fishing season has brought more and more people to gather at the pier, fishing and casting nets, which is very lively.

Zhao Jun's net can only cast the small mackerel on the upper layer. They are not big, basically about 15 centimeters in size.

Chuming City caught a lot of big mackerel in the lower layer, but each one was more than 25 centimeters, and all of them were big and fat.

In just 20 minutes, he had already caught 19 fishes, almost one fish per minute, and he took the bait very fast.

There are at least forty or fifty minutes before the sun sets completely, and the mackerel schools will not leave during this time.

That is to say, he is lucky enough to keep connecting the rod, and he can catch at least 30 catties.

Of course, so many mackerel are not only alarming humans, but also more predators living in the sea.

Occasionally, big fish will appear near the pier. This is because it is easy to gather small fish near the pier to attract them to hunt.

Now, in the lower waters that people can't see, several huge fish appeared.

Although the mackerel in the lower layer is not small, they opened their mouths and swallowed a mackerel more than 20 centimeters in half in an instant, and then swallowed it whole again.

There are also some smaller predators, unable to swallow such a large mackerel, so they swim to the pelagics to hunt small mackerel.

Chu Mingcheng doesn’t know what’s going on underwater, its submerged minnows are swinging at the bottom of the water, attracting fish to take the bait!

Originally he wanted to attract mackerel, but the movement of this meeting attracted the attention of a large grouper nearby.

It was attracted by mackerel, but mackerel swims fast, so it is not easy for it to hunt.

At this moment, the speed of the sinking mino was not fast, so it immediately shifted its target.

Standing on the boat, Chu Mingcheng shook the lure pole lightly, holding the handle with his right hand and turning it slowly, but the thread was not collected quickly.

"咻~"

The fishing line was taut in vain, Chu Mingcheng subconsciously lifted the pole to stab the fish, the fishing line quickly cut through the water surface and made a pleasant sound of cutting water.

"Hey hey~"

This time the strength was different from the previous ones, and almost pulled the unprepared Chu Mingcheng off the boat. Fortunately, he reacted in time and stepped on the side of the boat to stabilize himself.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Jun noticed the movement and hurried over and asked.

"It's okay, I caught a big fish!" Chu Mingcheng replied while dealing with the fish in the water.

The fishing line in the spinning wheel was pulled out from time to time, but he didn't dare to use too much force at all, for fear that the fishing line would be broken or the fishing rod would be blown.

From the time he reacted, he knew that he had caught a big fish, which was stronger than the twenty catties of herring, silver carp and bighead carp he had caught before.

This frightened Chu Mingcheng. As a newcomer to fishing, he only knew how hard the rod and thicker fishing line were for catching bigger fish.

He doesn't have the confidence to catch big things with a thin rod. It's not that he can't catch big things, but he needs skills and an understanding of fish movements. All of these require enough experience to accumulate!

But it will drive ducks to the shelves, and Chu Mingcheng has to do it if it doesn’t work.

The tight fishing line, the force that touches the heartstrings continues to come, and the line in the spinning wheel is still being released.

The fishing rod had already been bent into a full moon shape, which made him nervous and excited.

"Hold on, hold on, take your time!" Zhao Jun didn't cast a net for a while, and he didn't dare to take a breath when he stood beside him, looking more nervous than him.

"Zhi Zhi Zhi ~"

"Woo~"

"Zhi Zhi Zhi ~"

After five or six minutes, Chu Mingcheng felt that the strength in the water had decreased, so Chu Mingcheng began to pull the pole back, and then turned the handle to take up the line.

Yuu's first wave of strength has passed, which made him relax a little bit from the tension in his heart.

At first, the strength of the fish surprised him, but this has already made Chu Mingcheng understand that the fish he caught might not be as big as he imagined.

As long as you pay attention, you should be able to catch it.

The fishing line was originally inclined downward, but it will gradually become parallel, indicating that the fish was pulled from the lower layer to the upper water surface.

With a "crash", a huge wave appeared on the surface of the sea more than 20 meters away, which attracted the attention of many people on the shore.

"Come on, there are still big fish? Hurry up and change the rod and line, what kind of mackerel are you still fishing for?"

Some of the senior fishermen are well-equipped. When they saw a big fish, they immediately changed their goals and took out their own equipment for catching big fish.

Chu Mingcheng naturally also saw the huge splash, and the brown figure glimpsed in the distance, with surprise smiles on his face.

But now is not the time to be happy, the fish has not been caught yet!

To be on the safe side, Chu Mingcheng was not in a hurry to pull the fish back. The resistance of the fish was still strong, so he chose to continue walking the fish first.

Ten minutes later, he finally walked the big fish to the fishing boat.

The two people on the boat also saw clearly what kind of fish it was, it was a spotted grouper, also known as blue spot.

"Haha, Acheng, you are lucky. You said you came to catch mackerel, but a grouper came." Zhao Jun moved quickly, and the fish control device pinched Qingban's big mouth very precisely, and then exerted all his strength to catch the grouper. The fish was brought to the boat.

Because Chu Mingcheng didn’t expect that there would be big fish, and the mackerel could just lift the rod, so he didn’t bring a copy net.

Fortunately, the fish control device is small and light, and it is put directly in the fishing box.

"That's right, this blue spot weighs 13 catties." The blue spot looks about sixty centimeters tall, with a round belly.

Zhao Jun looked at the weight with the fish control device, and his tone was slightly envious.

Wild green spot can sell for eighty-one catties, and this one is worth a thousand.

The net he cast for so long just now is almost full of two baskets of mackerel, weighing almost one hundred catties, and he doesn’t know if he can sell half of the fish.

"Haha, I didn't expect to be so lucky!" It was the first time to catch a big grouper, which gave Chu Mingcheng a good feeling. Now he suddenly looked forward to the sea pole he bought.

Lure caught these big fish with his pole, which made him more or less frightened. He was afraid that if he did not operate well, the fishing line would break and the pole would explode.

Removing Mino from Shi Ban's mouth, Chu Mingcheng broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the badly worn front wire.

It is really lucky to be able to catch this blue spot. If it drags for a few more minutes, the fishing rod will be overwhelmed and the fishing line will break.

Chu Mingcheng decided to go online at night to find out which fishing line is easy to use and wear-resistant, otherwise he finally caught a big fish, but the fishing line couldn't bear it, how distressed it is!

The green spot was put into the fish box on the boat by Zhao Jun and raised temporarily, at least it can guarantee that the fish will still be alive when it will be sold.

Chu Mingcheng changed the leading line, and continued fishing for mackerel without wasting time.

In the next period of time, some people on the shore were lucky enough to catch big fish, including groupers and other predatory fish.

But there are also a few people who are a little bit unlucky and exploded.

It lasted until the sun went down, and the mackerel schools did not leave.

Zhao Jun cast a net and could not catch a few fishes, and Chu Mingcheng also missed several fishes.

"The school of fish has dispersed, let's go back and sell the fish first!"

"Okay!" Chu Mingcheng had no objection. He reckoned that he had caught about 50 catties of mackerel. They were all quite big, the smallest one was 20 centimeters, and most of them were more than 25 centimeters.

He also specially stored the mackerel with a particularly large belly. There are nine mackerels in total, which weigh fifteen or six catties here.

He is going to taste these by himself and give them away by the way.

Back to the shore, many fishmongers collect fish here.

Chu Mingcheng inquired, and found that the small and medium-sized mackerel Zhao Jun cast a net for only four yuan a catty, which is too cheap.

However, they still need to be frozen, and they only sell for ten yuan when they get it in the market, so it’s not surprising that it’s cheap.

The price of a bigger one like his is not much higher, eight yuan a catty, which is outrageous.
