Chapter 183 Soft Silk

The boat was floating on the sea at this time, rising and falling slowly moving with the current, all rocking by the waves.

Ye Yaodong went to the basin where his father had chopped small fish, and casually took a small piece of fish meat and hung it on the fishhook.

Father Ye didn't believe him, "What can you catch?"

"Dad, you underestimated me. I will catch a big fish for you later."

Father Ye gave him a disgusted look, "How dare you hang such a big bait on a broken fishing rod like yours? If a bigger fish comes up, it will break your bamboo rod with just a toss."

"Uh... Then I'll change the bait. The fish caught by the shrimp should be smaller."

Some time ago, I caught a mullet weighing more than 20 kilograms, and the fishing rod was so bent that it almost broke.

Whenever he made money, he would also change his equipment. Last time on the yacht, he saw that the fishing rods used by the rich second generation seemed to be very good, and they could catch bomb fish weighing several dozen kilograms. He was really greedy.

"Dad, don't dislike it. I've caught a lot of fish with this fishing rod. I'll catch one for you now."

Father Ye pursed his lips and ignored him. He found an open space and planned to lie down and squint for a while.

Ye Yaodong doesn't care. If you don't believe it, don't believe it. He caught him.

After hanging the bait, he threw the hook into the sea, lowered the brim of his hat, and waited patiently, but within a minute, the fishing rod moved.

He was not surprised and lifted the hook without any surprise. This was what he expected. But what was unexpected was that what he caught was not a fish, but soft silk!

It’s actually soft silk!

The soft silk is a kind between the flower branch and the eucalyptus. It can also be called the soft fish or the soft winged fish. The tail end of the trunk of the soft silk is round, and the body is transparent and shiny. It grows in shallow reefs. The body shape is oval and the taste is special. The production of fish crisps and soft silk from the Bay Strait is relatively scarce and the price is high.

The difference between it and a flower branch is that it has no hard bones.

By the way, flower branches are also called cuttlefish and cuttlefish...

The body of the cuttlefish has a large calcareous inner shell, while the body of the cuttlefish is relatively flat and very wide.

There are several types of squid. The most common one is the sizzling squid that lies on an iron plate and is sprinkled with pepper, salt, and chili powder. It can be found all over the street.

There are also lock tubes, which vary in size. The upper and middle parts of the trunk are round and chubby. Their local fishermen call the smaller ones under 12 centimeters "small tubes", which are the smaller types of lock tubes.

The author loves to eat small tubes! Love eating soft silk!

Summer has the most tubules!

Sihasha~

Suck~

There is also the Toutu, true lock tube, also known as the sword-pointed squid. The adult Touzu has a slender body, the tail end of the trunk is tapered, and the fins are longer.

"Dad, what do you think I caught?"

Father Ye took off the hat covering his face and turned around to look, "Youyu? Hand fishing for yuyu?"

"No, it's soft silk!"

"oh?"

Father Ye suddenly became interested and stood up to take a look. Ye Yaodong simply raised the other end of the fishing rod to his father. Unexpectedly, the soft thread directly sprayed a large amount of water on his father's face.

"Um?"

Father Ye frowned and wiped the water stains on his face, "Fortunately it's not a squid."

"Hahaha, if this is a squid, I will spray ink all over your face."

"It's okay. This one only weighs half a catty. Since you caught soft silk, you can continue fishing with small shrimps."

….

Father Ye took off the soft silk from his fishhook as he spoke. After thinking about it, he simply fetched a bucket of seawater and put this in to raise it. It would be better to live than to die.

When Ye Yaodong saw the soft silk swinging in the bucket, his eyes flashed with wolf light. He could leave one to burn at night! There's no reason why you can't eat what you catch. This fish is delicious, crispy and tender.

He kept up his efforts and hung up the shrimps again, but he didn't know what he thought of and took them off again.

"What are you doing?"

"Try using fish meat as bait? If it doesn't work, try changing it."

He wanted to see what he could catch in this sea area with fish chunks. If it was not ideal, he would continue to use shrimps to catch soft silk. It would not be a loss anyway.

"We just caught the soft silk, so just use the shrimp to catch that one. Why bother?"

"It won't hurt to try."

After hanging the bait and swinging the rod, Ye's father did not lie down and sleep this time. He had some time to watch him fishing, wondering what else he could catch.

At first, Father Ye didn't believe that he could catch anything good. But when he actually caught something, how could he be willing to lie down and sleep? And he also wants to know what can be caught with fish meat?

What man can resist the charm of fishing?

The waiting time was long this time. After waiting for 5-6 minutes, under Ye's father's suspicion, the fishing rod moved again. Ye Yaodong tried to pull it, but the fishing rod was pulled in the opposite direction, causing waves in the water to splash. .

"Damn it, Dad, this fish is so big and heavy. I can't pull it up. It keeps pulling on the fishing rod to try to escape."

"Let me see, let me see..." Father Ye came forward excitedly, wanting to help pull the fishing rod together.

I saw that the bamboo pole was bent at 75 degrees, and I reluctantly pulled the fish to the surface of the water, revealing its head. The fish body was still struggling desperately and slapping the water.

"Yellow-striped amberjack!"

"Yellow-striped amberjack!"

The father and son were so surprised that they called out the name of the fish in unison!

This is known as the beef in the ocean. At this time, this kind of fish was still very small, and many fishermen had never heard of it. Those who had heard of it were those who knew the product, and Father Ye certainly knew the product.

This fish can be used to make sashimi and sashimi. Countries such as Japan and South Korea regard it as a treasure. Although its taste is not as good as tuna, it is not much worse.

The most important thing is that this fish is big and valuable!

The father and son looked at this big fish in the sea with bright eyes. They estimated it to be over 1.2 meters tall.

"Quick, pull it up hard..."

"Oh my god... this is too heavy. The fishing rod is bent hard. Dad, wait... wait and try harder..."

Father Ye was pulling on the bamboo pole desperately, but Ye Yaodong wanted to relax his strength, and wanted to take the bamboo pole in first and then pull the fishing line to pull it.

"Wait a minute, Dad, collect the bamboo poles first..."

"Snapped……"

But it was too late. Under Father Ye's force, the fishing rod snapped into two sections...

"Fuck...it's broken!"

The yellow-striped amberjack on the sea rolled over and pulled half of the bamboo pole directly into the sea.

Ye Yaodong was so angry that he knocked on the side of the boat with his half-cut bamboo pole, "Oh my god, it broke, and it ran away."

Father Ye touched his nose in embarrassment, blaming him!

Hearing what Lao San said, he wanted to relax his strength, but it stopped before it was too late...

"Mad, are you really affected by that sunfish? Bad luck!"

….

Ye Yaodong was depressed. The big fish he was about to catch ran away. He was so angry that the equipment was still not up to par.

"Haha~ I'll give you another shot when I get back in the evening, and try again tomorrow." Father Ye said with a smile as he was rarely out of breath.

"Don't you believe that you can catch something good?"

"It's true that I can't catch anything good. Do you think this will break the fishing rod?"

Seeing the depressed look on Ye Yaodong's face, Father Ye hurriedly continued, "Haha, that's not the case. The piece of soft silk I just caught is quite good. Look at you, I ask you to use shrimps to catch soft silk, don't you? Listen, I still need to try fishing with fish pieces. You see, isn’t this just stealing the chicken but losing the rice? I lost all the fishing rods, and now I can’t catch any fish even if I want to..."

The more Father Ye spoke, the more confident he became, as if it was all his fault for not listening to the old man's words!

Ye Yaodong didn't care whether his father was raking him over or not. He was really depressed. If he had known better, he would have just used shrimps to catch soft silk. He had lost the fishing rod by messing around, and now he had no chance to catch anything.

Soft silk is also very good!

Alas~

"Forget it, forget it, there's nothing you can do if you run away. Let's fish again tomorrow."

There was nothing he could do now, and his only entertainment was deprived of him. He sat down on the bed, looked at the lone piece of soft silk in the bucket, and regretted it.

So angry.

Father Ye felt a little guilty and did not dare to say anything.

After waiting for a while, he said: "Can we go and wind up the line?"

Ye Yaodong nodded and calmed down, and his depressed mood passed.

Father Ye drove the boat towards the floating position in the distance. When he reached the destination, he stopped the boat and asked Ye Yaodong to reel in the line.

He also walked forward. He had never tried longline fishing, so he didn't know what the harvest would be like. How did it compare to trawling?

Ye Yaodong pulled up the buoy, pulled up the dropped rock rope, and then began to take up the line.

"Ah? Yellow-striped amberjack? Grass, a big one ran away, and a small one came."

Father Ye looked at the struggling figure that had just emerged from the water, and beamed with joy, "That's right, this one looks quite big. I estimate it is half a meter long and weighs more than 20 kilograms. It can be sold for a lot of money."

The yellow-striped amberjack lives in the warm, middle and upper layers of the ocean, and this can barely comfort him.

This fish was struggling desperately in the water. The fish caught by the longline are all very active. Except for the eel that can strangle itself, the other fish are very lively.

The branch line is very thin, so it is not easy to pull big fish, so tools are needed.

"Dad, go get the fishing net. It's in the cabin. It's not easy to pull. Don't let it escape again."

Father Ye quickly went to the cabin to get it, and then gestured in his hand, "Your handle is a bit short. I will make a longer one when I go back tonight."

Ye Yaodong watched his father struggling to salvage it. It was indeed a bit short. It had been put on a small boat before.

The short-handled hook I made was also too short. I had to make a longer one when I got home, otherwise it would be difficult to hook fish.

When Ye's father fished up the yellow-striped amberjack with his hand, Ye Yaodong felt relieved, now he was no longer afraid that it would run away.

The size has shrunk by more than half compared to the one I just caught, and the weight is even worse, but it’s still okay, it’s a good fish!

It's better than what's better than what's below!

After the yellow-striped amberjack was fished out, it was still swaying its tail and shaking its body. Ye Yaodong did not bother to continue to reel in the line. After taking off the hook, he removed its gills and bled it.

If such a large fish does not land immediately after being caught, it must be bled immediately to keep it fresh.

"You go and tie up your thread, and I'll do the bleeding. Just leave it to me."

"That's okay."

It really saves trouble to have someone help, otherwise he would be too busy to do it all by himself, and setting the hook would be a big problem.

Handing the knife to his father, he continued to reel in the line. Fortunately, a piece of soft silk came up on the second hook. It was bigger than the one he caught. It weighed only eight ounces without weighing a pound, and it was also very active.

When unhooking the hook, he was sprayed with water in his face just like Father Ye, and was thrown into the bucket, causing splashes all over the ground.

"What? Throw it away like this?"

"Ruansi, I have a hunch that there will be no shortage of Ruansi today."

Many marine creatures live together in groups, and it is easy to catch the same species continuously when fishing.

No, here comes another one. The soft silk looks very transparent in color and has a very good appearance.

He continued to reel in the thread. It felt like opening a blind box, with a special sense of anticipation.

By pulling one end of the fishing line, you can know whether there is fish or not, whether it is a big fish or a small fish.
