Chapter 297: Chapter 171: Margin Call Return

Although Red Bream are considered trash and worthless, one kilogram could still sell for about 20 yuan, which means a ten-kilogram Red Bream would fetch 200 yuan. Lin Yang and Li Xiaopeng kept hauling in the fish, which was practically no different from picking up money.

Time flew by quickly.

Before they knew it, it was already past three in the afternoon, and Lin Yang and Li Xiaopeng had been furiously pulling in Red Bream for two hours.

Lin Yang was still feeling okay, but Li Xiaopeng on the other end, was already exhausted, barely able to lift the rod anymore.

Fishing for sea fish was nothing like fishing for freshwater fish. Without the electric reels, they might have been overwhelmed after catching just four or five fish. Even with the electric reels, they still had to hold the rods and continually pull up the fish, which was a real test of strength and stamina.

In two hours, Lin Yang was able to catch a Red Bream every five minutes on average. This time he pulled in about 25 big Red Bream, each weighing around 15 kilograms.

Li Xiaopeng caught much fewer; he rested several times in between and only managed to pull up about seven or eight fish. However, for him, it was still a satisfying deep-sea fishing experience.

Together, they caught over thirty Red Bream. Even if the fish were dead, they could still sell them for over ten thousand yuan.

Several hours passed, and the bait they had thrown down was not enough to satisfy the feeding needs of the Red Bream school, so the fish gradually dispersed and left the reef area below.

Seeing the fish scatter, Lin Yang knew that their frantic haul of Red Bream was over.

Although he was tired, the catch was substantial. Not to mention the fish that sold for over ten thousand yuan, pulling in twenty or thirty big Red Bream also provided him with significant experience and point rewards.

At this point, his fishing skills had greatly improved, not just in freshwater fishing but his sea fishing skills had also increased considerably.

As the fish dispersed and Lin Yang took a moment to rest, he also turned to Master Chai and asked, "Master Chai, should we head back now, or can we go somewhere else and fish a bit more?"

Actually, he didn’t want to change spots, but due to the Red Bream feeding below earlier, most of the fish hidden in the reefs were unlikely to come out anytime soon.

Otherwise, staying a bit longer, he might catch a few more valuable Big Groupers.

"It’s best we head back, this is the open sea after all, and it’s not so safe after dark," Master Chai responded, raising his head to glance at the sky before speaking.

The lack of safety didn’t refer just to the weather conditions at sea; it also included other potential dangers, such as ships from other countries.

Though it was only three o’clock now, don’t forget they had taken three to four hours to come here by yacht. This means if they were to return now, it would also take another three to four hours, and by the time they got back, it would likely be dark already.

"Then let’s head back first," Lin Yang agreed.

Lin Yang was aware of these factors, but then he added, "By the way, Master Chu, driving a yacht seems pretty simple. Can I learn a bit? I also have a business proposal to discuss with you."

"Of course, you can."

Indeed, driving a yacht was pretty straightforward, at least easier than learning to drive a car.

As for the business discussion Lin Yang mentioned, Master Chai wasn’t sure what it was about, but since Lin Yang, the boss, wanted to talk business, he was certainly willing to listen.

In his view, Lin Yang wouldn’t likely bother him frivolously, wasting both their time, so he handed off his current task to his nephew.

The first thing Master Chai taught Lin Yang about driving the yacht was how to raise the anchor.

After raising the anchor, the two headed to the cockpit, where Master Chai started turning the yacht around and then began the return journey on the preset course.

On the way, Lin Yang also discovered that driving a yacht was indeed very simple, as on the open sea, it could pretty much run on autopilot.

After listening to Master Chai explain the various buttons and controls in the cockpit and the important things to note, Lin Yang also started to get the hang of it.

Although he didn’t have a license, it was unlikely anyone would catch him on the vast sea. In fact, even if he sailed back to the pier, nobody would really check whether he had a license or not.

In less than half an hour, Master Chai noticed that Lin Yang had fully learned how to operate the yacht, and was even doing quite smoothly. At this level, if he took some time to get a yacht driving license, it wouldn’t be a hassle.

Now that he had taught him how to drive the yacht, Master Chai was curious about what business Lin Yang was planning to discuss.

"Master Chai, I bet you have quite a few fishing spot coordinates. Name a price, and sell them to me," Lin Yang said, not beating around the bush. As the yacht switched to autopilot and no longer required manual operation, he turned to Master Chai to start the conversation.

The deal Lin Yang wanted to discuss was about the fishing spot coordinates Master Chai knew.

Fishing in the sea differs from freshwater fishing; freshwater spots have landmarks, like a certain river, section of a river, reservoir, or mountain. But on the sea, where do you find these places?

Near shore, it’s manageable, where there are oyster beds or seaweed farms.

But further out, away from the fish farms, knowing where the fish are isn’t possible.

So essentially, locations of fishing spots in the open sea aren’t shared outside of close contacts, as they are seen as valuable resources. Professional deep-sea fishermen might spend quite a lot to acquire these spots.
