Chapter 189 Borrowing "Luck" to Become a Tool

Frozen shrimp bricks sink slowly and melt as soon as they are placed in water, and the fishy smell spreads rapidly with the water flow.

Several dark shadows were visible at the spot where the bait was placed. Each one was over half a meter long, and you could tell just by looking at their size that they were big guys weighing over ten kilograms.

Zhou Miao and Yu Muzhou exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with joy.

A fish that's more than half a meter long is already quite large; no wonder there are fishing boats all around.

Zhou Miao didn't need to think at all. He carried a box of shrimp bricks to the other end to create a feeding area, and then directly installed the electric fishing rod.

Yu Muzhou was just here to indulge his fishing hobby; he enjoys tug-of-war with big fish. .

But he was different; he came here purely to buy goods and make money.

Install the electric winch pole and hang a small squid on it.

Zhou Miao pressed the button to release the line, and the sinker immediately sank into the water with the bait. The hook and bait stopped at a depth of ten meters. The fish were in the shallow water, so there was no need to let the hook and bait sink too deep.

Then he brought out the heavy-duty electric reel he had ordered online, which was originally prepared for fish weighing over 100 pounds.

But since we're not fishing manually today, we can use both electric reel rods together.

If you used the same fishing rod to catch a half-meter-long yellowtail, then with this setup you can fish deeper and see if you can find an even bigger yellowtail.

Just as Zhou Miao finished setting up the fishing line, the small electric reel next to him started moving.

He quickly went over and pressed the button to reel in the line, and the electric reel immediately began to reel in the line.

These yellowtail amberjack are indeed very strong. They should be able to be caught quickly at a depth of ten meters, but the number on the screen keeps fluctuating.

After a long while, the fishing line began to slowly reel in, at a very slow pace.

Seeing this, Zhou Miao picked up a brand new hook and prepared to go. When he saw a yellowtail amberjack that was a little over half a meter long appear.

He had prepared the grappling hook in his hand, which drew an arc in the air before sinking into the water and accurately hooking the fish. Then, with a burst of strength from both hands, he lifted the fish up.

Now that his strength has greatly increased, Zhou Miao is very adept at doing these physically demanding jobs.

The yellowtail amberjack, thrown onto the deck, thrashed its tail wildly like a tiny electric motor, causing the deck to vibrate slightly.

Yu Muzhou glanced back when he heard the noise, then continued to tighten the fishing rod in his hand as usual, without showing any other emotion.

Zhou Miao shook his head slightly; the familiar "Holy crap" sound was gone!

He unhooked the fish, took the bitten squid out and stuffed it into the fish's mouth, considering it the fish's last meal.

Zhou Miao re-baited a squid, sank the hook to a depth of ten meters, and then took out a sharp dagger to bleed the fish. He then inserted a hose into the fish's mouth to flush out the blood with fresh water.

After rinsing away most of the blood, Zhou Miao opened the fish tank he had brought, scooped out some ice and put it in, then took out the water pipe and turned on the water.

He only turned off the tap and put the fish in after the tank was half full of ice water.

This not only helps to remove acid, but also allows any remaining blood in the fish to drain out.

Having sold fish for quite some time, Zhou Miao knew very well that only sashimi-grade seafood was the most expensive in the market.

Once he has caught enough fish, he will take them out one by one, put them into the foam boxes he bought in advance, and move them into the freezer to freeze at low temperature.

In fact, fresh fish is about ten yuan more expensive per kilogram than frozen fish.

Unfortunately, the fishing trip for yellowtail amberjack was only for three days, and Zhou Miao could only take a batch of fresh fish back on the last day.

This takes into account the time required for cold chain transportation, in case the fish is kept for too long and the icing doesn't keep it fresh; otherwise, he would definitely keep it completely iced.

Seeing that the second fish hadn't moved yet, Zhou Miao quickly installed the heavy-duty electric reel.

Before I could even bait the hook, the fishing rod next to me made another sound.

Zhou Miao had no choice but to go and collect the line first.

Fortunately, it's automatic; after pressing the button, you can come back to bait the hook and start fishing.

This heavy fishing rod is mainly for large fish. Based on the fish population we just observed, this group of yellowtail amberjack is mainly active in the water layer at a depth of about ten meters.

The density decreases as you go deeper, so this time the bait sank to a depth of about 20 meters.

Unlike fishing for Qinghai and Gansu, the yellowtail amberjack are temporarily staying in this area to feed and store fat for the winter, so they are more dispersed, and the bait can sink to the designated spot.

In fact, when the bait landed in the water, it attracted the attention of many yellowtail amberjack in the vicinity.

They smelled the food, but out of caution, they didn't rush in and take a bite.

So during this observation process, the bait sank to the depths.

They instinctively gave chase, but when a larger figure appeared below, the smaller ones obediently returned to their original positions.

At this moment, the larger, darker creature spotted the food and swam back and forth a few times, even touching the small squid with its tail.

Feeling that there was no problem, it rushed over quickly, opened its big mouth, and swallowed the little squid whole.

The fishing rod tip bent down instantly. Zhou Miao, who was already at the small electric reel and waiting for the fish to come up, didn't even have time to put down the hook in his hand before he rushed over to reel in the line.

The electric reel, costing over 20,000 yuan, immediately began to work. The thick rod bent down a bit more due to the combined force, but the fishing line was reeled in very quickly.

I originally thought that the fish on the other side would be caught first and the fishing speed would be faster, but it turned out that the fish on this side were pulled to the surface first.

It is a little over one meter long and weighs at least thirty kilograms.

"Haha, we're going to make a fortune!"

Zhou Miao quickly hooked the fish, exerted force with both hands, and pulled the fish out of the water in one go, then lifted it onto the deck.

He then ignored the meter-long yellowtail hopping around on the deck and hurried to another electric winch.

Sure enough, the fish from this side came up too.

I caught two fish in just a few minutes, what a great catch!

It's a pity I didn't bring these two electric reeling rods when I encountered a school of amberjack last time, otherwise it would have been even more enjoyable.

Yu Muzhou was still waiting for the fish to bite when he heard Zhou Miao's laughter behind him. He turned around and felt even more depressed.

Goodness, it's only been a short time and we've already caught three fish?

There was also a yellowtail amberjack that was clearly a size larger, measuring about a meter in length.

He always thought he was used to it, but he was still shocked every time he saw Zhou Miao catch fish so easily.

Alas, he was just unlucky and could only wait patiently.

With a sigh, Yu Muzhou resignedly stared at his fishing rod again.

But in just three seconds, a strange idea popped into his head.

He immediately turned around and said urgently to Zhou Miao, who was bleeding the fish, "Ah Miao, come and help me."

"What's wrong?"

"Hey, here's your fishing rod."

Thinking that something big had happened in Yu Muzhou, Zhou Miao quickly got up and went over, only to be handed a fishing rod as soon as he arrived.

He looked at the fishing rod in his hand, somewhat bewildered, and asked, "What's going on?"

"I'll borrow your luck to catch a fish." Yu Muzhou stared intently at the fishing rod. If he could catch a fish immediately, it would perfectly prove his idea.

In less than a minute, the rod tip twitched, and a fish took the bait.

"Holy crap, that actually works!"

Seeing Zhou Miao instinctively hook the fish, he quickly snatched the fishing rod back.

"Alright, you can go back now."

"..."

Zhou Miao was speechless and both amused and exasperated, realizing that she had been used as a tool.

If it weren't for Yu Muzhou's scheme, he wouldn't have known that he could "borrow" such good fortune.

However, this action gave him a new idea.

Back at the fishing spot, Zhou Miao continued to bleed the fish, but in his heart he was thinking about whether he should invite more people when he went fishing at sea in the future, lend them his luck, and split the catch 50/50.
