Chapter 42 Mackerel is worthless

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

When Zhao Jun casts the net, he can only reach the small mackerel in the upper layer. They are not big in size, basically about fifteen centimeters.

There are also a lot of big mackerel caught in the lower reaches of Chu Mingcheng, but each one is more than 25 centimeters long, and all of them are fat.

In just twenty minutes, he had already caught nineteen fish, almost one fish per minute, and he took the bait very quickly.

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

In other words, if he is lucky enough to keep connecting the rod, he can at least catch more than 30 kilograms.

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

Occasionally, big fish will appear near the pier. This is because small fish tend to gather here, attracting them to hunt.

At this moment, several large fish appeared in the lower waters invisible to people.

Even though the mackerel in the lower layer was not small, they opened their mouths to swallow it and instantly bit half of a twenty centimeter mackerel, and then swallowed it whole in one bite.

There are also some smaller predators that cannot swallow such large mackerel, so they swim to the middle and upper layers to hunt small mackerel.

Chu Mingcheng doesn't know what's going on under the water. Its submersed Minnow is swinging at the bottom of the water to attract fish to take the bait!

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

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

At this moment, the speed of the sinking Mino was not very fast, so it immediately changed its target.

Chu Mingcheng, who was standing on the boat, gently shook the lure rod, holding the crank handle with his right hand and turning it slowly. The line was not drawn in very fast.

"Hey~"

The fishing line was stretched in vain, Chu Mingcheng subconsciously raised the rod to stab the fish, and the fishing line quickly cut through the water surface, making a pleasant sound of cutting water.

"Hey, hey, hey~"

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

"What's going on? What's going on?" Zhao Jun noticed the movement and quickly came over and asked.

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

The fishing line in the spinning wheel was pulled out from time to time, but he did not dare to use too much force for fear that the fishing line would break or the fishing rod would explode.

As soon as he reacted, he knew he had caught a big fish, which was bigger than the 20 pounds of herring, silver carp, and bighead carp he had caught before.

This frightened Chu Mingcheng. As a new fisherman, he only knew how to use a harder rod and a thicker fishing line to catch bigger fish.

He doesn’t have the confidence to catch big fish with a thin rod. It’s not that he can’t catch it, but it requires skills and an understanding of fish movements. Both of these require sufficient experience accumulation!

But this will drive the ducks to the shelves, and Chu Mingcheng will have to do it no matter what.

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

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

"Steady, steady, take your time!" Zhao Jun stopped casting his net now. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly while standing nearby, looking even more nervous than him.

"Zhizhizhi~"

"Woo~"

"Zhizhizhi~"

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

The first wave of force from the fish had passed, and the tension in his heart relaxed a little.

The power of the fish frightened him at first, but now Chu Mingcheng realized that the fish he caught might not be as big as he thought.

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

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

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

"Damn, dang, there's still a big fish? Hurry up and change the rod and line, what else are you fishing for mackerel!"

Some of the senior fishermen are fully equipped. When they see a big fish, they immediately change their goals and take out their own equipment to catch big fish.

Chu Mingcheng naturally saw the huge splash of water and the glimpse of the brown figure, with a surprise smile on his face.

But now is not the time to be happy, the fish hasn’t been caught yet!

To be on the safe side, Chu Mingcheng was not in a hurry to pull the fish back. The fish was still very resistant, 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 grouper.

"Haha, Acheng, you are just in luck. You said you came here to catch mackerel, but a grouper came." Zhao Jun moved very quickly, and the fish controller accurately clamped the grouper's mouth, and then used force to pull it.

The fish was lifted onto the boat.

Because Chu Mingcheng didn't expect that there would be big fish, and the mackerel could just be lifted up by the pole, so he didn't bring a fishing net.

Fortunately, the fish controller is small and lightweight and can be placed directly in the fishing box.

"Yes, this blue spot weighs thirteen pounds." The blue spot looks about sixty centimeters long and has a round belly.

Zhao Jun used the fish controller to lift it and looked at the weight, and his tone was slightly envious.

Wild green spots can be sold for eighty-one pounds, and this one costs one thousand.

He had cast the net for so long just now, and the two baskets of mackerel were almost full, weighing almost a hundred pounds. He didn't know if he could sell half of the fish.

"Haha, I didn't expect such good luck!" Chu Mingcheng felt very good about catching a big grouper for the first time. Now he suddenly looked forward to the sea pole he bought.

Catching these big fish with a lure rod made him more or less frightened, fearing that the fishing line would break and the rod would explode if he didn't operate it well.

After taking Mino off from Grouper's mouth, Chu Mingcheng broke into a cold sweat when he saw the badly worn front wire.

It was really lucky to catch this green spot. If it had been delayed for a few more minutes, the fishing rod would have been damaged and the line would have broken.

Chu Mingcheng decided to check online when he went back in the evening to find out which kind of fishing line was easy to use and wear-resistant. Otherwise, if he had finally caught a big fish, the fishing line would not be able to withstand it, and that would be so distressing!

Zhao Jun put Qingban into the fish box on the boat and raised it temporarily, at least to ensure that the fish would still be alive when sold.

Chu Mingcheng changed the leader line now and continued fishing for mackerel without wasting time.

In the following period, some people on the shore were lucky enough to catch big fish, including groupers and other prey fish.

But there were also a few people who were a bit unlucky and blew up their poles.

This lasted until the sun went down and the mackerel schools left.

Zhao Jun couldn't catch a few fish when he cast his net, and Chu Mingcheng also missed several fish with his rods.

"The fish have dispersed, let's go back and sell fish first!"

"Okay!" Chu Mingcheng had no objection. He estimated that he had caught about fifty kilograms of mackerel. They were all quite big, the smallest was twenty centimeters, and they were basically over twenty-five centimeters.

He also specially stored the mackerels with particularly large bellies. There were nine of them in total, weighing fifteen or six pounds here.

He plans to taste these for himself and give them away.

Back on the shore, there are many fishmongers collecting fish here.

Chu Mingcheng inquired about it and found that the small and medium-sized mackerel caught by Zhao Jun's net only cost four yuan a pound, which was too cheap.

However, they still need to be frozen, and they only cost about ten yuan when they are sold in the market. It is not surprising that they are cheap.

The price for a bigger one like him is not much higher, eight yuan a pound is simply outrageous.
