Chapter 317: Chapter 176: Longdun Grouper

After arriving in this area, Lin Yang first checked the environment and found that the seawater below was very clear and the water was much shallower than the area where they had been fishing earlier. Under the sunlight, he could even vaguely see the reefs on the seabed.

He also noticed something special about this part of the water. It was precisely at the convergence of two small ocean currents. The mingling of two different currents, due to varying water components and temperatures, led to the prolific growth of algae here. With more microorganisms, small fish and shrimps were more likely to be born, and subsequently, the creatures higher up the food chain would increase in number too. Thus, it was not impossible, as Captain Ah Jie had mentioned, that wild Yellow croakers had been seen in this area.

When Lin Yang and others followed them over, Captain Ah Jie’s face showed some displeasure, but the other four bosses were very happy. After all, they were just out to have fun on this sea outing, and it wasn’t their concern if more people knew about this fishing spot.

Moreover, after fishing Sea Bass earlier, they trusted Lin Yang’s sea fishing skills greatly, so seeing him there, they naturally continued to seek his advice on how to fish for Yellow croaker.

"Hey, brother, can you teach us how to fish for Yellow croaker?"

Lin Yang nodded, "Drop the sinker to the bottom, then reel it back three or four meters, that’s all."

As he spoke, he began to lower his sinker. He still used live shrimp as bait, because Yellow croaker were carnivorous, and shrimp was the best bait.

The four men across from him didn’t hesitate, and all started fishing using the method that Lin Yang just described.

Yue’er also started fishing with a proper technique. Her catch today could be said to be no less impressive than those of the four men, even though she was a girl and it was her first time sea fishing.

Everyone at the scene started fishing like Lin Yang, while Captain Ah Jie, who had led everyone here, stood there. Originally, he was the captain and fishing instructor paid by the four bosses, but it seemed now that the bosses no longer needed his instruction.

The four bosses had been pulling up Sea Bass the entire morning, and had clearly mastered the technique, which made Ah Jie feel somewhat awkward, especially since his earlier stubbornness had caused everyone to waste a lot of time.

Although he had now brought everyone here to fish for Yellow croaker, no one aboard paid him any attention; they were all busy fishing.

Ah Jie, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched his head and set up his rod with shrimp according to Lin Yang’s instruction, dropping the sinker to the bottom and then reeling it back three or four meters. He too was curious to see if following Lin Yang’s method would actually hook a Yellow croaker.

Two yachts, eight people, all sat quietly waiting for a "golden legend," and the online viewers in the live chat were very curious if this spot indeed had Yellow croaker.

After more than ten minutes, the rods still hadn’t moved, which, theoretically, shouldn’t have happened, since everyone could clearly see fish swimming under the water. Perhaps due to the depth where they were fishing, these fish weren’t biting the hooks.

Just when the four bosses began to doubt whether there were any Yellow croaker here, or whether their fishing method was flawed, Lin Yang’s rod was the first to show movement.

On the two quiet yachts, everyone could see what was happening and couldn’t help but become tense.

"Brother, is it a gold bar?" one boss couldn’t contain his excitement and stood up to shout.

Boss Lei next to him quickly made a shushing gesture with his finger at his lips, "Shush, don’t shout, don’t scare the fish away."

Suddenly, everyone quieted down again.

On the other hand, Lin Yang watched and found it rather amusing. The group didn’t quite seem like they were fishing, rather like they were stealing fish—being very cautious.

But it was understandable, as everyone was too eager for the Yellow croaker.

Lin Yang, however, remained very calm, holding the rod until there was a very noticeable huge tremble at the tip, then he sharply lifted the rod.

Hooked!

With his strength, the fish was quickly pulled up, gradually brought to the shore from dozens of meters deep. When the fish was still two or three meters away from the surface, because the water here was very clear, everyone could already clearly see the fish beneath the surface.

It was a completely golden fish that even seemed to sparkle under the sunshine.

"Wow, wow, wow! It’s golden, a completely golden fish!" Li Xiaopeng was the first to shout out loud.

The five people on the opposite yacht were also full of excitement and eagerness. On one hand, they were envious, and on the other hand, they confirmed that Yellow croaker truly existed here. If Lin Yang could fish them up, then naturally, they also had a chance.

This gleaming fish was pulled out of the water, and Lin Yang, using the flexibility of the rod, swiftly flung the fish onto the boat. Instantly, the Yellow croaker, about forty to fifty centimeters long and weighing approximately three or four kilograms, was lying on the deck.

Once on board, the fish made a series of grumbling sounds. Upon hearing this, Lin Yang and his companions became even more excited, as this was the characteristic sound of the Yellow croaker.

"It’s a Yellow croaker, no doubt."

Lin Yang looked at the fish he had caught with a face full of joy, then removed the hook. Although it weighed only a little over three kilograms and wasn’t considered large, it was still a precious wild Yellow croaker.

Wild Yellow croaker from sea fishing like this could fetch about five or six thousand yuan currently, and up to eight or nine thousand yuan during festive seasons. That meant this one Yellow croaker was already worth twenty thousand yuan.
