Chapter 367: Chapter 187: Setting Sail Again

This time they took Wang Feng out to sea for fishing. To save trouble, they still chose to go to Peng City.

After all, they were familiar with the place, whether renting a boat or selling their catch. More importantly, Lin Yang still had many marked points in hand, all of which had to be bought with money.

When the group of five arrived in Peng City, they immediately took a taxi straight to the yacht club at Bay Pier.

Similarly, Lin Yang chose to rent Boss Chen’s yacht again this time.

Seeing him return so soon, Boss Chen was naturally very pleased and without a second thought, handed over his best yacht to the five of them.

This luxury yacht was about 20 meters long, with a speed of 30 knots; it had two bedrooms, each with six small beds, and the yacht also had a large fuel capacity, allowing for a significantly longer cruising range than the yacht they rented last time.

After loading all their belongings on the yacht and ensuring that everything including provisions was checked and in order, they set off.

While Li Xiaopeng was piloting the yacht up front, they sat together discussing which would be the most suitable fishing spot for their first stop.

"Brother Feng, is this really your first time going out to sea?" Lin Yang asked him.

"Of course, even though we have been to the seaside a few times before, we never had the chance to fish; this is our first proper sea fishing."

As he spoke, Wang Feng was visibly excited. For fishing enthusiasts, whether professional or not, sea fishing always held an allure.

His assistant Xiao Zhang also seemed quite excited; as for Lin Yang, Yue’er, and Li Xiaopeng, they were much calmer since they had just been out to sea not long ago.

At that moment, Lin Yang was pondering over which was the most suitable spot for their first fishing stop, considering this was Wang Feng and his team’s first time, and they needed a process to get acclimated.

He looked at the various points on his phone, which represented different coordinates and potentially where certain fish could be found.

While he was tirelessly filtering his options, he suddenly noticed a marked point not far from their current location; this mark was special because it indicated the location of a fish farming platform.

"How about we go play at the fish farming platform first?"

Upon mentioning the fish farming platform, Lin Yang recalled their recent visit to Peng City, where Xiao Wu, who hosted them, had wanted to take them to the platform, but they hadn’t made it.

Now seeing this fish farming platform, he suddenly became very interested because it was different from wild fishing spots.

In fact, a fish farming platform is quite similar to a stocked pond, only that it’s built on the sea surface, also stocked with many fish.

Hearing Lin Yang’s suggestion, Wang Feng also became interested.

He certainly had heard about fish farming platforms and knew that sea fishing relied on luck, so while it wasn’t certain that they’d catch fish quickly at wild spots, fishing at a farming platform meant a guaranteed catch since it involved bred fish; if they couldn’t catch those, then there was no point in fishing at all.

Being new to sea fishing, they preferred to start with something less challenging to test the waters, which suited their intentions perfectly.

Once they decided, Lin Yang instructed Li Xiaopeng to steer directly to the nearest fish farming platform’s coordinates.

This location was actually findable via a navigation app, which showed that this platform raised Red Drum Fish, scientifically known as American Redfish, a type of Sciaenidae.

Speaking of Sciaenidae, many people would first think of the Yellow croaker.

This type of American Redfish, from a taste perspective, isn’t much different from the Yellow croaker, with a similarity in texture of over 70 percent.

Of course, the texture of bred fish couldn’t compare to that of wild fish in terms of firmness and elasticity, but for the average person, there wouldn’t be noticeable differences. Red Drum Fish are popular among local breeders due to their rapid reproduction and size.

As their yacht headed towards the fish farming platform, Lin Yang and the others made their way to the deck. Given the weather, it wasn’t really a good day for deep-sea fishing since the waves were reaching a height of one meter, a condition that could be quite dangerous.

But since they were going to the fish farming platform to fish, they didn’t have to worry about the big waves.

Also, it might be because Lin Yang’s health had improved, but he discovered that this time he didn’t seem to get seasick as easily.

And for Wang Feng’s first time out at sea, he and Yue’er, like the others, didn’t seem to feel seasick, still wearing excited expressions on their faces.

About 30 minutes later, they arrived at their destination, a fish farming platform not too far from the shore.

As a rule, a fish farming platform wouldn’t be located too far from the shore in the open sea, because if a typhoon hit, it would spell disaster, hence they were usually not far from shore.

As their yacht slowly approached, Lin Yang and his crew saw several people gathered on the platform, among them someone scooping something with a net.

After the yacht was anchored, Lin Yang threw the anchor into the water, and they all, carrying their fishing gear, walked from a small dock towards the platform.

"Hey, guys, what are you up to?"

Seeing the group of five or six people gathered there, Wang Feng asked curiously.

"Fishing for some goodies!" one dark-skinned man turned and glanced at Lin Yang and his companions.

"Goodies? What goodies?"
