My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 4 Black Hair Found in Black Sea Bream

Zhou Miao unhooked the large stone Jiugong and threw it back into the water.

Shi Jiugong's braised tofu soup is delicious, but this fish is too small; it would be better if its father were to cook it.

I hooked another shrimp onto the bait, cast the rod, and the hook and bait fell into the water again.

Zhou Miao wasn't sure if it was easy to catch fish while sea fishing, but this time, fish still bit the hook very quickly after he cast his line.

But the moment you lift the rod, it feels light and airy.

A black sea bream broke the surface of the water, swaying in the sea breeze, pulled by the fishing line.

This black sea bream was only slightly larger than his palm, weighing about two or three ounces.

He looked at the fish, somewhat speechless. What's this, Little Blackie?

Zhou Miao subconsciously looked at Yu Muzhou next to him, and then heard him laugh with a teasing tone: "You're quite lucky, you caught fish right away, but unfortunately you only caught small red snapper or small red snapper."

"As anglers, let's aim high and try to catch their grandparents."

Okay, it's not Little Black Guy, it's Mimi Snapper.

"I also want to catch their grandparents, but I'm probably too old and slow to run out of time with these younger ones."

Zhou Miao sighed; there was nothing he could do about the little fish causing trouble.

Yu Muzhou laughed heartily, finding his new fishing buddy quite amusing: "Wait a minute, don't feed all the bait to the small fish, focus on the afternoon high tide."

"Okay, I understand." Zhou Miao nodded, realizing that the key moment would be the high tide in the afternoon.

If I can catch more black sea bream weighing more than half a kilogram in the afternoon, it will alleviate some of my financial pressure.

Zhou Miao tried fishing a few more times, but seeing that they were only catching small fish, he gave up.

Turning around, he saw that Yu Muzhou wasn't fishing either, but instead preparing a barbecue feast, so he decided to go over and help.

It's great to follow the big shots; you can not only hitch a ride on their boats but also get a free lunch.

The barbecue took a long time, and by the time they had eaten and drunk their fill, it was high tide.

With strong winds and high waves, the float and sinker accessories need to be replaced during high tide.

Following Yu Muzhou's advice, Zhou Miao replaced the Apo cable with No. 2 and added a set of accessories to create a new cable set.

He can learn from the other person who has a lot of experience.

Float fishing is indeed a bit difficult for beginners; it takes some time to fully understand it.

As usual, Zhou Miao scooped up a few spoonfuls of bait and threw them in, then attached an Antarctic shrimp and tossed it into the water.

Before he could even get a fish on the hook, Yu Muzhou, who was even faster, had already lifted the fishing rod and pulled a black sea bream that looked to weigh seven or eight ounces onto the shore.

Zhou Miao's eyes lit up. It looked like a big fish had arrived. The grandparents of the mimi sea bream had finally arrived at the battlefield.

Looking around, I noticed that quite a few anglers had already lifted their fishing rods, indicating that the fish were biting very well.

This kind of spectacle was something he had never seen before when lure fishing, no wonder anglers with some means all prefer sea fishing.

Zhou Miao turned around and focused his attention on his fishing rod.

Black sea bream are wary of taking bites, but the float fishing rig is sensitive enough that the float will immediately react to the slightest movement.

Seeing the float being dragged, and although he didn't feel any fish taking the bait, he still tentatively lifted the fishing rod.

The moment the fishing rod was lifted, the fishing line became taut and began to tremble.

Zhou Miao's eyes lit up. He had actually caught one, and the force of the catch was significantly greater than the small fish he had caught when he first arrived.

With a forceful pull of his arm, a lively black sea bream appeared on the surface of the water, weighing about seven or eight ounces. He lifted it up directly.

Zhou Miao unhooked the fish and threw it into the fish bucket.

He didn't notice that Yu Muzhou looked over the moment he picked up the fish.

Yu Muzhou just wanted to see if he could surprise him again as a novice, and if he caught any valuable fish, he could buy it in time.

Stamp collecting is also a hobby for men.

He enjoys collecting all kinds of rare and valuable fish, but he mainly focuses on wild fish that are both ornamental and edible.

No one would buy wild-caught fish purely for ornamental purposes.

If this thing carries any bacteria, it could cause a large number of fish in the tank to die.

Zhou Miao had no idea what he was thinking. He was having a great time fishing for black sea bream and had already caught three in a short while. He thought that if he kept fishing like this, he would easily fill his bucket.

"Sea fishing is so much more fun!"

Zhou Miao cast out the bait and looked at the three black sea bream in the bucket with great satisfaction.

After waiting for half a minute, the float sank, and a force significantly stronger than before came through.

He quickly set the hook, and the pulling force transmitted through the fishing rod surprised him. This fish might weigh three pounds, a huge difference in strength compared to the previous fish.

The month when the fishing season just opened was still very hot, but it couldn't compare to the burning passion in his heart at that moment.

The fish struggled in the water, and it was difficult to pull it to the surface for a while. It was clear that sea fish were stronger.

Zhou Miao repeatedly pulled on the fishing rod to exhaust the fish's strength, reeling in a section of line after each play.

This was his first time trying float fishing, but he was very skilled at how to catch fish.

So in less than two minutes, he steadily pulled the fish to the surface; it was a pitch-black fish.

"Holy crap, a big black guy!"

Just as Zhou Miao was about to confirm what kind of fish it was, Yu Muzhou, who was standing next to him, stood up in surprise.

Black fur?

Zhou Miao's eyes lit up. He had seen many videos online where content creators talked about trying to catch black bream, but the results were never very good. He never expected that he would actually be able to catch one himself.

Because he wasn't familiar with the fish, he didn't recognize it immediately.

Zhou Miao quickly grabbed his newly bought telescopic landing net, but someone else was a step ahead of him.

Yu Muzhou had already come over with a landing net: "Control the fish, I'll help you net it."

"OK!" Zhou Miao nodded, lifting the fishing rod to control the still somewhat strong black fish.

Seeing him successfully catch the fish, my heart finally settled down.

"You're really giving newbies a treat, kid. I haven't caught a black bream this big in ages."

Yu Muzhou's tone inevitably carried a hint of envy. For a passionate fishing enthusiast like him, the black-haired fish was a dream fish species that was hard to come by.

Black bream have a seasonal habit of returning to the nearshore area, and he can catch some during that time, but they are at most about a pound in size.

It's much smaller than Zhou Miao's, and this one looks like it weighs over three pounds.

This size is so rare that you need to make an appointment to buy it at a seafood store.

"Brother Zhou, you said this was a perk for newbies," Zhou Miao thought to himself, secretly pleased.

He felt that he not only received benefits as a newbie, but also had good fortune after successfully binding with the system.

After all, those who can bind to the system are all people with great fortune.

"Why don't you sell this fish to me? I'll buy it for a thousand yuan." Yu Muzhou looked at the fish and thought that the two pound-sized black-haired fish he kept in his fish tank at home could be steamed that night.

"Sure!" Zhou Miao agreed without hesitation, no matter how much he asked for, he would sell.

In less than half a day of contact, he felt that Yu Muzhou was a person he could get along with.

There are many advantages, but the most important one is having money in your pocket to buy dried fish.

Zhou Miao felt that he would definitely be able to acquire a lot of valuable seafood in the future, and Yu Muzhou was a very good buyer.

"Okay, I'll transfer the money to you when I get a signal." Yu Muzhou happily carried the fish back to his fishing spot.

Zhou Miao thought to himself how easy it was to make money fishing, completely forgetting his pre-departure thoughts, and continued fishing for black sea bream.

Unfortunately, the prime time for fishing for black sea bream is very short; once the tide rises to a certain level, the fish stop biting.

"Ah Miao, that's enough. Let's pack our things and go back."

Having caught no fish, Yu Muzhou immediately packed up his line and prepared to go home, even looking somewhat impatient.

Zhou Miao didn't understand his eagerness to show off his new "friends" in the fish tank that night. He felt quite accomplished looking at the densely packed black sea bream in his fish bucket.

The frustration of not being able to contact Lu Xingyu dissipated considerably.

He was also eager to get back and sell the fish, since a grouper was waiting for him that night!
