In this icy and snowy weather, where could there be big fish? The only place to talk about it is in Heikeng! Besides, there aren't many using this Rod in the capital! As soon as the words left his mouth, he checked his phone, and indeed, there were a few messages from Beijing.
Thirteen minutes ago, he had sent a tip and opened the message to see if they could check it out live! Pointing to the first message, Ping Net quickly said.
A small Lophius weighing around three or two pounds had received a tip of sixty-six; it seemed that the people in Beijing were quite genuine. At this size, if it exceeded a pound, no one would even look at it!
"Spring River, indoor Fishing Spot, let's go! It's right nearby; we can check it out!"
The three of them ran to the Fishing Spot and saw that there was someone inside holding a three-meter-six Smart Rod. It was clear that this person had shared it.
After wandering around the Fishing Spot for a bit, they hurriedly dug out a few Giant Fish rods that had been gathering dust for months. The flights to Sanya or Haikou were all booked up, so they decided to fly to Nanning first and then rent a car to Sanya. They had to cast their Hook into the Wan Quan River!
Ever since watching Liu Lei's Live Streaming, Shui Laoban had fallen ill, and it was quite serious.
The "not fishing makes me feel awful" syndrome was no joke; it was as if closing his eyes filled his mind with images of fish. Even at night, his dreams were filled with big Hei Piao!
He secretly bought a Smart Fishing Rod and registered an Account. He didn’t dare use his nickname Shui Laoban anymore and directly changed it to Patrick Star, adding Shui Bi Zhang as a friend.
Confirming that Shui Bi Zhang was at Chida Reservoir today, Shui Laoban took a taxi straight to the market and bought a pound of Live Shrimp before heading to Liudao Bay.
He knew everyone at his local Fishing Tackle Shop; he was even more familiar with his own people there. He didn’t dare buy shrimp from the shop or drive past its entrance. Otherwise, if word got back to Shui Bi Zhang's ears, the next day the Client would call him asking for progress—he had already figured that out.
He sought out Shui Bi Zhang to take him to his Secret Fishing Spot where there were plenty of fish, including big ones. Today he had to fish until he was satisfied!
Breathing in the salty sea air filled with fishy scents made him feel invigorated; he felt alive again.
Once he hooked the Live Shrimp and cast his Rod, watching it bob with the waves felt just like his current mood—joyful, carefree, and content.
Lighting up a cigarette and taking a deep drag brought him back to life.
Ten minutes later, the Float remained still; this was normal—fishing required patience!
Twenty minutes later, still no movement from the Float; perhaps the bait had fallen off. He reeled it in to change the bait!
After changing the bait and casting again, he waited another twenty minutes but still saw no movement from the Float. The fishing conditions today seemed poor!
Looking at the sky, he quickly decided to change Fishing Spots! Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to catch any fish tonight!
Opening Social Media for a search, he chose Ji Yang; today there were indeed quite a few Fishing for Big Fish posts.
He tipped one person; it wasn’t from Liudao Bay! He tipped another; still not from Liudao Bay. Could it be that there were no big fish coming from Liudao Bay today?
After tipping three hundred yuan in total, he finally found someone from Liudao Bay. He picked up his things; since it was hard to get a taxi in that area, he decided to walk—it was just over a kilometer away—and with packing up taking no more than twenty minutes!
Rushing to the fishing spot, there was no time to rest as they headed straight for the rocks.
"Patrick Star?" A fishing buddy on the rocks turned to ask as Shui Laoban approached, rod in hand. Just moments ago, he had shared a catch—a sixteen-pound Azure Sea Bass, and only one person had tipped him for it: Patrick Star.
"Did you really catch a big one?" Shui Laoban asked, placing his gear down on the rocks. He raised his hand to pull out a cigarette.
"Boss, you're here to fish too! You should have called me earlier; we could have picked you up!" Hearing that familiar voice, Shui Bi Zhang turned around and indeed found Shui Laoban standing there.
"Weren't you at Chida Reservoir?" Shui Laoban was startled by Shui Bi Zhang's voice. Had he been caught slacking off? It felt like ages since he had encountered this situation; how had his boss ended up looking like a worker?
They had indeed been at Chida Reservoir earlier, but Shui Bi Zhang calculated the time and realized it was time to upgrade their experience. If they weren't careful, they might still be under the March fishing ban. Once the sea opened up in June, what would be left to do?
For now, they could enjoy some reef fishing. After a few days of sea fishing once it opened, they could take them out on the ocean. By then, Shui Laoban would likely have finished his orders and signed enough contracts to keep him busy for half the year!
"Yeah, we just came from Chida Reservoir, and we caught a big fish on our first cast! Come over here, boss; there's a spot for you!" After introducing Shui Laoban to the three old bosses, Shui Bi Zhang quickly moved aside to make room and warmly invited him over.
With his rod cast out, he watched as the bait bobbed with the waves. At that moment, it felt just like Shui Laoban's heart—nervous and restless!
"Boss, the Fishing Tackle Shop is hosting a Rock Fishing Tournament. It's a professional group invitation event, and we can't participate. However, there will be an Open Tournament in two days. Do you want to join us for the competition?"
He had received insider information: the weight of the catch would count toward daily sea fishing quotas. If they could invite Shui Laoban to compete, it would increase their chances of winning.
Once Shui Laoban won a prize and the client urged for progress, they couldn't let that opportunity go to waste!
