Chapter 370: Chapter 188: Back on the Shark_2

Although there are many wild fish under and around the net cages, only three types could be regularly caught.

The first was the Golden Drum Fish, and the second was the American Redfish, as many American Redfish escaped from these cages every year. After escaping, they wouldn’t go far and would instead appear around the farm, habitually eating the leftover food.

Therefore, those fishing on the fish rafts often caught this type of fish.

As for the third type of fish, it was the mudfish, which was abundant and found everywhere in the coastal regions, as mentioned before.

Besides, there were other fish here as well, according to the dark-skinned man. He had caught dog sharks, eels, Sea Bass, and Yellow croakers on this fish raft.

He once caught a Yellow croaker weighing about one pound and four ounces here, which he sold for more than 5,400 yuan.

Of course, although there were Yellow croakers around, they were very rare. According to the man, he had been fishing for nearly 15 years and had only caught one Yellow croaker here, which indicated a very low probability.

For the dog shark, it clearly was not their season recently, so the dog sharks were not large. With small dog sharks and even smaller mudfish, the only choices left for them were the Golden Drum and American Redfish.

Seeing that there were wild fish to be caught, including wild American Redfish, Lin Yang naturally lost interest in the farmed fish inside the cages.

Since he had only paid for an hour, it seemed better to fish for the wild ones here. He might even earn back the money he had just spent by catching a few more fish.

After returning, he immediately called over Li Xiaopeng and Yue’er to come fish together. Since it was free, there was no reason not to fish.

The group picked up fishing rods, each selected a good spot for safety, and Lin Yang made them wear life jackets. He didn’t need one himself; with his swimming skills, even if he fell in, it would be fine.

Finding a corner spot, he stood on the pathway of the fish raft and cast his rod outside the net cages.

The bait he used for fishing were the small miscellaneous fish that the raft owner usually fed the fish because the Golden Drum and American Redfish had also grown accustomed to eating these leftover feeds.

At this moment, as opposed to Lin Yang and others each using one rod, several other fishermen were using three or four rods per person, which was a common practice among many experienced anglers to increase the chances of catching fish.

But for Lin Yang, it didn’t matter much as his buff could only be applied to one fishing rod, so setting up too many rods was pointless and could actually decrease his effectiveness.

As he dropped the fishhook baited with a small fish into the water, he quietly waited for any movement below.

About five or six minutes later, when everyone else was motionless, Lin Yang’s fishing rod suddenly twitched at that moment.

"Got one."

He said and then removed the fishing rod that had been stuck on the deck.

Watching his movements, the dark-skinned fisherman couldn’t help but look at him again.

Being an experienced angler himself, he hadn’t caught a single fish yet, but Lin Yang had hooked something within just a few minutes, which he found incredible.

Of course, it might be that Lin Yang was lucky or had chosen a good spot, but it was more likely due to his impressive fishing skills.

"Got it."

Under the gaze of the other fisherman, as the tip of the rod dipped again, Lin Yang quickly jerked it up, and the sensation told him he had caught something.

Then, he began frantically winding the reel.

"Young man, this is a wild fish, you shouldn’t reel in so fast, you need to let it run a bit. You’re using a number three line, that’s too thin!"

Watching Lin Yang’s actions, the fisherman next to him almost thought he was a novice.

Earlier, while fishing for the Red Drum, he had thought about saying something since Lin Yang’s technique was too rough and abrupt, but since those were farmed Red Drum in the cages and didn’t have much strength, he didn’t say anything after seeing Lin Yang quickly land a fish.

But now, seeing his actions, it was too risky.

Nevertheless, Lin Yang just smiled, signaled with his eyes that everything was fine, and continued to spin the reel rapidly.

Soon, the fish that had been struggling under the water was pulled to the surface.

This fish was also one of the easier catches here, a fairly thick Golden Drum Fish, weighing at least about a pound and a half.

For the fish on the fish rafts, this was already considered a behemoth, which was the effect of the big fish buff.

After pulling the fish out of the water, he didn’t give it a chance to dive back down, and he directly flung it onto a nearby cage.

This cage was specifically for breeding small fish, and since there was a risk of sea birds preying on the small fish, it was covered with a net above.

Some parts of the net close to the water surface dipped into the water, creating a small pool-like area, which was useful for placing the caught fish.

Lin Yang had followed what the other fishermen did and carried the fish there.

After lifting the fish out, he secretly checked his encyclopedia for any rewards, but to his surprise, catching this fish unlocked no new entries, only gaining him two experience points and points.
