As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 320 - Chapter 320 Chapter 275 Grandpas friend needs to replenish

Chapter 320: Chapter 275 Grandpa’s friend needs to replenish Chapter 320: Chapter 275 Grandpa’s friend needs to replenish On the boat, one could see that there were a lot of Spiny Pomfret, but Chu Mingcheng wasn’t very happy with his fishing because he couldn’t make consecutive catches; sometimes it took half an hour to catch just three.

The hunting by dolphins and sea lions made the Spiny Pomfret only think about fleeing, with no appetite for the bait.

With the fishing not going well, Chu Mingcheng looked at the sea surface and suddenly thought of the small net he had previously bought to scatter the Scavengers with.

After using that net only once, it was consigned to a corner. Because of the new boat purchase, he had moved all his stuff onto the boat.

So he immediately put away his rod, went to the small tool room beside the cabin living room, and took out the cast net that had been at the bottom of a box.

The cast net had stiffened into a pancake shape after being under pressure for so long, but it wasn’t a problem; it would soften after soaking it in water for a bit.

Back on the deck, once the cast net was softened, Chu Mingcheng tidied it up, then with a “hey” sound, he threw it out.

The cast net billowed into the wind, “whoosh,” drawing a circular shape with a diameter of four to five meters on the sea surface.

The dolphins and sea lions were on the other two sides, faintly forming a triangle together with Sea God.

Therefore, when casting his net, he didn’t need to worry about it reaching them, nor feared that they would come and cause damage.

Once the cast net had sunk, Chu Mingcheng tugged at the rope, pulling the cast net back up.

Before the net had been completely lifted out of the water, the surface bubbled furiously, with large movements from Spiny Pomfret jumping inside.

These Spiny Pomfret looked about the size of a palm, easily a dozen of them.

As he pulled the entire net up, Chu Mingcheng revealed a satisfied smile.

The density of Spiny Pomfret was quite high; one cast yielded over twenty fish.

If he could encounter a school of fish like this every time he went out to sea, he wouldn’t even need to buy bait, directly reducing the cost of a trip by ten thousand.

Then he opened the net, tipping all the fish into the live bait tank.

Some that were caught on the net had to be manually removed, to avoid damaging the net.

Each live bait tank was very large. Although the twenty-plus Spiny Pomfret seemed numerous, once dumped in, the tank still looked empty.

So, tidying up the net, Chu Mingcheng continued to cast.

After three tries, the fish density inside the live bait tank visibly increased quite a bit, but it had also taken more than half an hour.

Casting the net was quick; it was the fish removal and tidying that took some time.

At this point, the sea lions seemed to have had their fill, each carrying a fish back and placing it before him upon seeing him.

Looking at the three live and wriggly Spiny Pomfret at his feet, Chu Mingcheng picked them up and threw them into the live bait tank.

“You guys surround these foods and try not to let them get away,” he issued a new command.

Originally, he had wanted the sea lions to catch some fish, but now that casting the net was so swift, he wasn’t concerned about the few fish they caught.

So he only asked the sea lions to block the school of fish, not even expecting anything from the dolphins.

To put it bluntly, they were competitors for food. The fact that the dolphins didn’t attack was already friendly enough; there was no way they would come close.

On hearing the new command, the sea lions immediately plunged back into the water to intercept the school of fish.

Chu Mingcheng continued to cast his net, and after two hours, the third foam box by his feet was also full.

With over a hundred Spiny Pomfret in the live bait tank and the total he’d caught, he had nearly four hundred Spiny Pomfret.

The middle live bait tank, filled with about a hundred fish, was now more or less at capacity.

Continuing to add fish into it, even with oxygen circulation, he estimated many would likely be dead by morning.

As live bait, these hundred plus Spiny Pomfret were more than sufficient, so he stored all the rest in the empty foam boxes and moved them to the freezer to preserve them.

The remaining live bait tanks weren’t needed to keep these Spiny Pomfret; it was unnecessary.

The true purpose of the live bait tanks was to hold some high-priced, valuable fish, to bring them back to shore alive rather than for storing live bait.

He had intended to continue casting the net, but regretfully, the sea lions had returned.

They looked quite weary. Chu Mingcheng thus put away his cast net, not having the heart to overwork them anymore.

Checking the time, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Chu Mingcheng started up the Sea God, preparing to find a new water area to see if he could lure a few Golden Spearfish in the evening using a fish-attracting light.

About half an hour later, he arrived at a waters with a depth of more than two hundred and twenty meters.

The fish finder showed no trace of big fish, but there were many schools of fish on the seabed.

This place should be good for catching a lot of deep-sea fish. If he did not encounter Golden Spearfish at night, fishing for deep-sea fish would also be a good option.

Having stopped the boat without turning off the engine, Chu Mingcheng went to the deck, put the Golden Spearfish innards and about ten chopped up Spiny Pomfret into crab and shrimp traps respectively.

He then went to the dance room, and said to Jiang Luoluo, who was practicing her dancing, “Luoluo, help me steer the boat, I’ll put down the crab traps.”

“What time is it now?” Jiang Luoluo stopped dancing, caught her breath, and asked.

“It’s almost five o’clock. Once the crab traps are set, we’ll make dinner, and you can rest.”

“Okay~”

Then Jiang Luoluo went to steer the boat, coordinating with Chu Mingcheng to place the crab and shrimp traps one by one into the water.

After all was done, the two headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

But Jiang Luoluo first took a plastic box out of the refrigerator, opened the lid, revealing the raw marinated Spot shrimp and rich shrimp inside.

She put on disposable gloves, peeled a Spot shrimp, and handed the shrimp meat to Chu Mingcheng’s mouth, “Taste it, how is it?”

“It’s got to be delicious.” For raw marinated dishes, he had complete confidence in Jiang Luoluo.

After saying this, he bit into the piece of shrimp meat and sucked it into his mouth.

Suddenly, a rich savoury flavor spread in his mouth, followed by the chilly, jelly-like texture of the shrimp meat as he bit down.
