Chapter 290: Chapter 168: Deep Sea Fishing_3

Well, he really couldn’t understand what Lin Yang was thinking. After drinking tea for a while and agreeing on the time to set out to sea the next morning, Lin Yang and Xiao Wu left.

After leaving, they found a place to have lunch together.

This meal was also considered Lin Yang and Xiao Wu’s farewell lunch.

For the next few days, they were going to go deep sea fishing and didn’t need Xiao Wu’s help with anything else, given that Xiao Wu wasn’t providing his services for free. Naturally, they wanted to save money where they could.

Moreover, Xiao Wu was quite busy himself, not solely attending to them. He had his own business to handle.

In essence, he served as a guide for Lin Yang and the others, who were new to Peng City, helping them become quickly acquainted with various aspects of the place. Now that they had a clearer understanding of things here, they no longer needed his assistance.

After finishing the meal and paying him for two days of work, Xiao Wu left.

After eating, Lin Yang and the others went to a car rental company in Peng City in the afternoon. They needed a car for their daily commutes.

After driving the rented car back to the hotel, they returned to their rooms to rest and to plan what fish to aim for the next day.

....

Time passed quickly.

The next morning at 3:30 am, Lin Yang woke up from his sleep, and Yue’er and Li Xiaopeng were also woken up by the alarm they had set in advance.

After washing up, they ate the bread they had special ordered and packed the night before, then they gathered their things and left the hotel before four o’clock, driving straight to the yacht club where they had reserved a boat the day before.

By around 4:30 am, they arrived at the yacht club.

Though it was very early for most people, the area by the bay was already brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Carrying their items, Lin Yang and company approached Boss Chen’s place from the previous day. Boss Chen certainly wasn’t there, but he had made arrangements, and two people were already waiting for Lin Yang and the others.

One was an old sailor responsible for the yacht, who seemed to be in his forties with dark skin, likely the result of being exposed to the sun and wind all year round. He had thick arms and large hands with plenty of calluses, clearly someone who fished often.

The other was a crew member on the yacht, who looked to be in his early twenties, about the same age as Li Xiaopeng, with dark skin too, but similarly with large and rough hands, indicating that he had also worked at sea for a long time.

Both of them had seen Lin Yang’s face in a video, so they recognized him.

When Lin Yang and his two companions arrived, the sailor in his forties smiled and walked over, "Master Lin, hello!"

"Hello."

After greetings and confirming that they were the people scheduled to go out to sea together that day, Li Xiaopeng and Lin Yang’s party also brought their belongings onboard the yacht.

Before setting off, the young crew member brought a bag onto the boat which, upon opening, was found to contain some small seafood to be used as bait.

Looking at these items, Lin Yang couldn’t help but slap his forehead.

Alright, they had been so fixated on setting out for deep sea fishing that they had forgotten to prepare bait. Technically, they were supposed to bring these items themselves, but it seemed that the two people Boss Chen found were quite reliable.

In addition to the bait, the yacht was equipped with other gear like nets, large hooks, and even fishing rods, all of which could be used if needed.

After loading all the supplies, including food, onto the boat, Master Chai—the middle-aged man who was tasked with operating the yacht—conducted a check together with the young man, mainly ensuring that fresh water, fuel, and various locators and machines were in working order.

Precautions had to be taken when taking the boss out to the open sea, as it could be very dangerous, and one mistake could spell disaster.

Once it was confirmed that everything was in order, around five o’clock, the medium-sized fishing boat left the dock and started heading southeast.

Many people who don’t live near the sea aren’t too clear on the difference between offshore and deep sea. The terms "offshore" and "deep sea" don’t refer to the distance from the coastline but the jurisdiction over a sea area.

"Offshore" mainly refers to the maritime areas controlled by our country’s government, such as the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East Sea, and South Sea—these four areas constitute our domestic offshore waters. Beyond the control of domestic waters lies the high seas, also known as the deep sea.

Lin Yang and his group’s destination this time was an area in the deep sea.

This deep sea zone is where China, Japan, and the Philippines intersect, and the number of fish in these waters is particularly rich.

They had only paid a partial deposit for the boat rental, with the remaining expenses determined by how long they’d be out at sea and how much fuel they’d consume.

Lin Yang estimated that the cost of renting the yacht for this trip would be at least ten thousand or more, even though Boss Chen had given him a discount, because their destination was quite distant.

The reason for going so far was, of course, to catch valuable fish, at the very least to earn back the rental fees for the yacht.

The most expensive fish in the sea nowadays, in terms of unit price, is the Yellowlip Fish, but this species is a protected animal in our country and absolutely off-limits.

Next would be wild Yellow croaker, but with the current environmental resources, finding a school of wild Yellow croaker is hit or miss, with no one knowing where they might be.

Aside from these two scarce species, the most valuable are Bluefin Tuna and some of the top-grade Groupers.

Master Chai was well-versed in the nearby seas and mentioned that top-grade fish like Bluefin Gold Spear could indeed appear in this area, but whether they could encounter them and manage to catch them remained unknown.

In addition to the spots frequented by Bluefin, Master Chai also knew some areas where Big Groupers congregated. Though there was no guarantee they could catch them, they knew for certain that there would be fish below.
