Chapter 225 Going to the Sandbed to Set Up a Net

Zhou Miao had already sorted the large yellow croakers, so Pang Yu only needed to weigh them and give him the price.

He offered a slightly higher price than the wholesale price, so Zhou Miao sold him all twenty-odd large yellow croakers, each weighing over a pound.

These twenty-odd large yellow croakers were sold for a total of 42,600 yuan.

The remaining yellow croakers were all under one pound each, and they sold for a total of 31,200 yuan.

Zhou Miao worked all night and earned 73,800 yuan from the large yellow croaker.

This doesn't even include that top-quality yellow croaker; if he's lucky, he could earn 100,000 in one night.

As expected of a large yellow croaker, it makes a lot of money.

Zhou Miao also sold the yellow croakers that Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu had caught.

The two earned 16,200 yuan and 230 yuan respectively, which was quite a lot less than his earnings.

This is mainly because the two of them barely caught any large yellow croaker weighing over a kilogram, which is why their earnings were so much lower than his.

However, after waking up and receiving the money, both of them were excited and said they would continue that night, since the money was just too easy to earn.

Zhou Miao readily agreed. There was still some time before the yellow croaker schools appeared, so these few days were a good time to fish for large yellow croakers.

So for the next few days, he took Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu out to sea to fish at night, and they usually returned before four in the morning.

However, their harvest wasn't always so good. The next five days were not as good as the first day. It seemed that the number of large yellow croakers had decreased sharply after being hit by the previous bombardier fish.

As a result, Zhou Miao has never caught more than 100 jin (50 kg) of fish at once again, and the most he can catch now is 40 or 50 jin (20-25 kg).

As for Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu, it would be considered very good if they could catch 20 jin (10 kg) in one night.

Fortunately, the business has been stable enough, and the proportion of large yellow croaker weighing over 1 jin (500 grams) has increased significantly, so I've made quite a bit of money these past few days.

Zhou Miao's savings have now officially exceeded one million.

This includes the fact that he sold the 4.6-pound yellow croaker, which he sold to a big boss for 30,000 yuan when he took some time to sell it in the city.

Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu were not far behind, each earning over 100,000 yuan, and their wallets bulged considerably.

During that time, Yu Muzhou also took some time to come over and caught a few fish to take home and enjoy.

He wasn't very interested in large yellow croakers, mainly because he thought they were too small and not fun to catch; he preferred a four- or five-pound cannonball fish.

Business at the fish rafts has been a little slower these past few days, with customers dropping from around forty a day to about thirty.

Lu Xiaoxiao and the others were perfectly capable of handling the workload, so Lu Xingyu and Luo Hao could go out to sea for night fishing without worry, and then take a nap afterward.

The only thing that Zhou Miao regretted was that the large yellow croakers couldn't be sold on the fish rafts because the price was too high and customers weren't willing to pay.

However, during holidays, this stuff simply can't be sold at retail.

But the situation might be much better for the yellow croaker next.

According to information from that sandy area, the yellow croaker school may arrive tomorrow.

Therefore, Zhou Miao had prepared two sinking nets, each over a thousand meters long, specifically for catching these yellow croakers.

In fact, he could have used that million to buy a second-hand trawler and catch all those yellow croakers in one go.

The purpose of sand beds is to maintain the ecology of the waters they inhabit. The damage caused by a trawler plowing the sand is far greater than that caused by a school of yellow croakers, so he has no choice but to obediently set up his net.

Seeing that Zhou Miao had prepared so many fishing nets, Luo Hao was overjoyed: "Miao, you found a school of fish?"

"No, I was just tired of fishing and wanted to cast my net to catch some fish."

It's uncertain when the yellow croaker will arrive, and also unknown how many there will be. He will definitely have to get the first batch himself.

After returning with a boat full of fish, let Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu drink the soup together.

"I see. Be sure to call me if you find anything." Luo Hao said, slightly disappointed but still with some expectation.

Lu Xingyu, who was walking over from a distance, handed the two cigarettes and lit them for them: "Alright, this is a really good place. A-Miao didn't take us with him last time."

Recently, they've been staying up late fishing, and inevitably, the three of them have started smoking more.

Zhou Miao is alright; he hasn't felt the urge to smoke yet, but he'll still smoke one if someone offers it to him. Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu, on the other hand, have a much stronger urge to smoke.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring you when I find the fish."

Zhou Miao took a puff of the cigarette and exhaled, without putting it in his lungs.

He only uses his lungs when he is extremely tired; under normal circumstances, he wastes his energy.

After a day of rest, Zhou Miao, whose energy and spirits had recovered considerably, set off in his fishing boat the next morning.

Just like I said yesterday at noon, I didn't bring Lu Xingyu and Luo Hao.

There were no reefs on the sandy bed, and the water was open, so he adjusted the speed of the boat and let it move forward slowly on its own while he lowered the fishing net.

This time, the fishing net was different from the last time we caught threadfin bream. The net sank to the lower part of the water, but higher than the area where the aquatic plants were, to avoid the net getting tangled in the plants.

After setting up his fishing net, Zhou Miao left the area and headed to the large yellow croaker fishing spot to continue fishing for them.

You can catch 30 to 50 pounds a day, which is quite a lot.

However, daytime is not a good time to fish for large yellow croakers. After a whole morning, he only caught two sea bass weighing four or five pounds each, and not a single yellow croaker.

Seeing this, Zhou Miao gave up fishing and went back to the sand bed to eat and rest.

Lying on the deck in the afternoon, he felt an increasing urge to buy a comfortable fishing boat.

Even if it's less desirable, we still need to buy a fishing boat with rooms to stay in.

Many fishermen in coastal areas fish by boat during the open season and take people fishing during the closed season.

As long as the rules stipulate one rod, one hook, and one bait for recreational fishing, there's no fear of being caught.

This is the right way for fishermen to do it, but most fishermen can't afford it, given the price of two boats.

After resting until 3 p.m., Zhou Miao used a fish finder to check the situation in the water.

Finding no fish, they used a rafting machine to pull up one of the nets a little, but still didn't see any yellow croakers, so they put the net back and sailed home.

For two days in a row, Zhou Miao would come to the fishing net during the day to check on the situation, and then wander around the sea to see if he could receive any new requests for help.

Perhaps because his range of activities in coastal and offshore waters was limited, he did not receive the last mission.

Clearly, the system was also indirectly urging him to head to the open sea area as soon as possible.

The open sea is vast; who knows how many requests for help will be received then.

On the third day after setting up the net, Zhou Miao finally saw a large group of fish when he put down the fish finder.

It's not easy!

Zhou Miao quickly started the net-laying machine and pulled up the fishing net.

The difference from the first day was apparent. As soon as the fishing net emerged, Zhou Miao saw many white-yellow fish getting tangled in it.

The fish had their mouths slightly open, and some were even wriggling their bodies, clearly indicating that they had only recently been entangled and were still alive.

There were too many fish, and Zhou Miao didn't have time to untie them. He could only leave the fish and the fishing net piled on the deck and deal with them when they got back.
