My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 223 Price: 30,000

After filling their stomachs, Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu, who had been feeling sleepy, regained their energy.

There wasn't much entertainment at sea, so we continued fishing.

I checked the location of the fish school again with the fish finder, and to my surprise, the fish school became active again in the short time it took to have a late-night snack.

Instead of staying at the bottom, they came to the upper water layer and were distributed at a depth of about ten meters.

"No wonder I've been fishing less and less; it turns out the fish have already moved to the upper water level," Zhou Miao said, realizing the situation displayed on the fish finder.

Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu's faces lit up with joy. This way, they could catch quite a lot of fish in the latter half of the night, and perhaps each of them could catch more than 20 jin (10 kg).

Once the fish reach the upper water level, they no longer need bait traps, but they throw some krill into their respective fishing spots to create a feeding area.

Antarctic krill spread out with the waves, and under the light, some dark shadows could be clearly seen swimming on the water's surface, devouring these krill.

When you encounter a school of fish, baiting works that quickly.

Zhou Miao quickly attached the sandworm bait and cast the hook into the water.

Less than three seconds after the bait entered the water, the tip of his fishing rod suddenly sank.

The magnitude was quite large; it's clear they hit a jackpot.

"Could this have attracted some small cannonballs?" Zhou Miao was a little surprised by the pulling force.

If that force were from a large yellow croaker, it would weigh at least ten pounds.

Zhou Miao didn't think it was a large yellow croaker because of its weight. He lifted the rod and reeled in the line, quickly pulling the fish to the surface.

It wasn't a large yellow croaker, but a silvery-white shad.

The hook was positioned perfectly in the mouth, so even though the hook was small, I was able to successfully catch the fish, although the leader line was almost worn through.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Miao's heart tightened, and he quickly grabbed the net next to him and scooped the fish into the water.

Sure enough, the moment the shad emerged from the water, it began to struggle violently, and its badly worn leader snapped instantly.

But the mackerel had no time to rejoice, for it was immediately trapped in the net as soon as it gained its freedom.

It struggled desperately to swim forward inside, but unfortunately, the fishing net blocked its way, and it had no way to get there.

Fish don't know how to retreat.

Zhou Miao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this and quickly lifted the fish up.

Lu Xingyu, who was standing nearby, had already heard the commotion and had been watching intently.

When they saw him carrying a small carp, they couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on? Aren't these fish big yellow croakers?"

Luo Hao chimed in, "So that's a school of mandarin fish?"

Zhou Miao shook his head: "I don't know, why don't you catch one and see?"

Lu Xingyu, holding the fishing rod with both hands, could only shrug: "Well, we have to catch a fish first..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a sound coming from the fishing rod in his hand.

Lu Xingyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly lifted the rod to set the hook.

Finding that the force wasn't strong enough, he simply lifted the fish up. After all, the depth was only about ten meters, making it much easier than fishing before.

As a golden streak flew out of the water, Lu Xingyu and Luo Hao, who turned around to look, both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it seems that the fish are mainly large yellow croakers."

"That means A-Miao was unlucky; he actually caught a shad."

Zhou Miao was both amused and exasperated by these words: "So, catching a ten-pound shad is considered bad luck in your eyes?"

Lu Xingyu: "That depends on what kind of fish it is. Compared to yellow croaker, mackerel is indeed cheaper."

Luo Hao, who was about to agree, suddenly remembered something: a ten-pound carp with its belly attached wasn't cheap.

At a normal market price, this one could sell for 800 yuan, which is almost the same as a large yellow croaker weighing one jin (500 grams).

So he didn't agree, but turned his head away and silently started fishing, trying to minimize his presence.

Zhou Miao didn't refute it; compared to the large yellow croaker, the mackerel was indeed cheaper when sold by weight.

The renowned author Zang Li has joined the platform with his new work, "My Fishing Raft Will Ask for Help"!

He removed the hook from the fish's mouth and then replaced the leader.

The fishhook is of good quality and hasn't deformed, so I'll continue using it.

I turned back and cast my line again, but the large shad probably came out to prey on the large yellow croaker, causing the fish to scatter, and there was no movement for most of the day.

Zhou Miao frowned, then turned around and noticed that both Lu Xingyu and Luo Hao had caught fish. After thinking for a moment, he sprinkled some more Antarctic shrimp on the ground.

Sure enough, there were no fish because the bait they had prepared earlier was no longer effective.

Once the bait is thrown in, the fish will gather around as the scent spreads.

Soon, the fishing rod started moving again.

Zhou Miao immediately focused his attention. Seeing the fishing rod bend slightly and the float being pulled into the water, he quickly lifted the rod to set the hook.

"Depend on!"

Feeling the pull from the giant shad much less than before, Zhou Miao swore!

"What's wrong?" Lu Xingyu asked casually after hearing this.

"Looks like we caught a big one again." Zhou Miao said with a hint of helplessness.

The force was indeed much less than that of a small carp, but it was still far greater than that of a large yellow croaker weighing one or two pounds. He guessed that he had caught another kind of fish.

"Haha, it seems that sometimes being too lucky isn't a good thing!"

Lu Xingyu immediately became gloating, and at the same time, his hands kept moving, skillfully picking up a large yellow croaker weighing five or six ounces, and showing it off in front of him.

"I'm not greedy; I'm perfectly content catching small fish."

"roll!"

Zhou Miao gave him the middle finger in an annoyed tone, then continued to quickly reel in the line.

The fish, which were already very close to the water's surface, quickly appeared at the surface.

When Zhou Miao saw that it was a golden bar about half a meter long, her breath hitched, and her hands moved more gently without her noticing.

The fish hadn't completely exhausted its energy, so he was very careful when catching it.

Now he dared not let the fish completely surface, lest it struggle violently.

So let it swim in the water and slowly pull on it to wear down its energy.

But whichever decision it is, it makes people feel uneasy and extremely excited.

Zhou Miao couldn't quite explain why he was so excited. He was a man of considerable experience, and a fish worth only twenty or thirty thousand shouldn't normally make him this nervous.

I caught two "opening red" fish when I came to Nanzhen. Although they weren't as expensive as this one, they were still top-quality.

Perhaps this is the status of the large yellow croaker in the hearts of people along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang!

After a few minutes, once he was sure the fish was exhausted, Zhou Miao quickly picked up the landing net and scooped up the large yellow croaker that had been pulled to the surface and was resting.

"Hahaha, who else!"

The moment the fish was lifted onto the boat, Zhou Miao burst into laughter, extremely smug.

He quickly took out the fish gripper, clamped it under the fish's jaw, and lifted it up.

"You were just saying my good luck wasn't a good thing? With your luck, you two will never catch such a big wild yellow croaker in your entire lives!"

"Holy crap!!!" x2

When they saw such a big yellow croaker, Lu Xingyu and Luo Hao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

The two quickly reeled in their fishing line, tossed their fishing rods aside, and then moved closer.

"Awesome, A-Miao."

"Damn, it's all thanks to luck!"

Zhou Miao looked at Lu Xingyu with a smile: "So you still think fishing for small fish is better?"

"I'm speechless."

Lu Xingyu gave him a thumbs up and decisively admitted defeat.

If you don't back down, you'll definitely get teased.

Luo Hao ignored their banter and leaned closer to look at the small screen on the fish controller.

"Two thousand one hundred and sixty-six grams, which is four jin and six liang, almost five jin."

"Ah Miao, this alone could sell for over 20,000 at wholesale price. If you get it to a hotel, it could even fetch 30,000."
