Chapter 221 The Yellow Croaker is About to Appear, The Secret Fishing Spot for the Large Yellow Croa

After finishing his noodles, Luo Hao took Luo Qianqian and left.

They were going home to tell their aunt about the discovery of the skeletal remains and murder weapon at the bottom of the sea.

We'll need to notify my older cousin and her family so they can call the police.

Zhou Miao didn't pay attention to what happened after that.

The next day, he went out to sea to collect sea urchins as usual, but he deliberately took a long detour and passed by the sandy bed that the fishing boat had told him about.

[A plea for help from the sand bed: The sand bed is covered with seaweed and is a habitat for various small fish. To the sand bed, these small fish and seaweed are like its own children. However, every autumn and winter, a group of yellow croakers arrive here.]

Their numbers are too great, and each time they come, they cause severe damage to the local ecosystem, requiring at least two to three years to recover. However, they arrive at the same time every year, causing the ecosystem to become increasingly desolate.

Therefore, the sandbed area requests your help in resolving the yellow croaker problem, reducing their numbers, and allowing the sandbed ecosystem sufficient time to recover.

[Note: The yellow croaker school is expected to appear in ten days, and arrive at the latest in half a month.]

A school of yellow croakers?

Zhou Miao hadn't expected such a big surprise. He was considering whether to use the money from selling the gold bars to buy a Class II fishing boat that could go to the open sea!

Fishing boats are subject to regional regulations, but fishing boats are relatively much better off.

The most important thing is that she is not afraid of getting wet in the rain. She came back in the rain yesterday. Although she did not catch a cold, Zhou Miao was not feeling well.

It will take at least ten days for the fish to arrive, so we can only buy fishing nets and wait.

Having accepted the mission, Zhou Miao headed towards the coral reef and continued collecting sea urchins.

After three days of hard work, all the sea urchins were finally processed.

Zhou Miao's savings also successfully exceeded 550,000 yuan, reaching 570,000 yuan.

But this amount of money is still far from enough to buy a Class II fishing boat, and the exact number of yellow croakers a week later is unknown.

Therefore, when Zhou Miao was harvesting sea urchins, he also fished here a few times in order to guide the coral reef and obtain information about the fishing season.

As expected, his guess was correct; with guidance, the coral reef did indeed provide information on the fishing season.

[A reward from the coral reef: With sea urchins cleared, the coral reef's ecosystem will gradually recover. The coral reef has discovered your love of fishing and is sharing a secret with you.]

Before the sea urchin infestation, a large population of large yellow croakers inhabited this area. Now, the croakers have left, but they haven't gone far; instead, they've moved to a group of submerged reefs about five nautical miles away. The coral reef team thinks this information might be helpful to you, and hopes you find it useful.

"Holy crap, I'm about to win!"

Zhou Miao originally thought it would be information about big fish or coral reef fish, but he never expected it to be a large yellow croaker.

This is the perfect season for catching large yellow croaker, especially in the Zhoushan Islands, where anglers fish for them every day.

Regardless of the origin of these large yellow croakers, or whether they are artificially bred seedlings.

But as long as it looks good, it's all a gold nugget.

However, this type of large yellow croaker, which lives in one fixed place, is not suitable for catching with fishing nets.

Even if you use a net, the final catch may not be as good as fishing directly.

Furthermore, fishing nets can easily damage the appearance of fish, making them much cheaper.

Since they were going to fish, Zhou Miao had no intention of keeping the resources to himself. He sent a message to Yu Muzhou and then asked Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu if they wanted to go out to sea to fish together that night.

There's always a story waiting for you to uncover.

Although I'm busy working on the fish rafts during the day, big yellow croaker is better suited for night fishing.

They can rest earlier if they're tired; it just means they'll sleep a few hours less.

Of course, whether they go or not is their own decision, but Zhou Miao at least called them.

As expected, except for Yu Muzhou having something to do and postponing it for a day, Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu immediately agreed.

That very night, the three of them packed their fishing gear and set off in two fishing boats.

The fishing spot for large yellow croaker is located in a group of reefs about five nautical miles west of the coral reef, and about eighteen nautical miles from the shore.

It takes an hour and a half to get on the fishing boat. Zhou Miao and his group set off at 8 p.m. and arrived at their destination at exactly 9:36 p.m.

There have been no holidays recently, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has already passed, so the price of large yellow croaker is not as high as it was a few days ago.

But that doesn't matter, because seafood vendors are stockpiling seafood everywhere.

They would take the large yellow croakers that had been frozen in the cold storage and deliver them to hotels, where they would be stored fresh. This cycle of stockpiling goods would continue until the end of the year when they could make a big profit all at once.

This is also why, in the Jiangzhe and Fujian regions, even though a banquet costs tens of thousands of yuan per table, the large yellow croaker meat ends up being slightly mushy, because it was frozen.

Of course, if it's a banquet costing four or five thousand, then the large yellow croaker is from those farmed products from the open sea.

But this isn't bad either; even a connoisseur wouldn't be able to tell the difference. It's just that the fish's color is much less appealing, not golden enough.

"Ah Miao, are you sure there are big yellow croakers here? Why aren't there any other boats around?" Luo Hao asked curiously as he steered his boat over.

After all, there are plenty of anglers at sea. Normally, wherever there are large yellow croakers, there will definitely be anglers.

"When I brought sea urchins back yesterday, I saw a pink dolphin leap out of the water with a big, golden yellow croaker in its mouth, so I thought there might be some here, so I came to try fishing."

Zhou Miao didn't expect Luo Hao to be suspicious just because there was no one else around.

He hadn't thought of this before, and only after being reminded did he realize that the fishing information provided after each mission was usually kept secret and unknown to others.

That makes sense, if everyone else already knows it, then it's not intelligence, is it?

"Wow, a pink dolphin, isn't it beautiful?" Lu Xingyu's focus was different, perhaps because he took care of sea turtles, he paid special attention to these kinds of marine creatures.

"It really looks great." Zhou Miao nodded, then quickly changed the subject and urged, "You guys need to get moving. First, set up a fishing spot so the sooner the fish start biting, the sooner you can start fishing. If you stay up all night, don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

"It's okay, I can take the day off!" Lu Xingyu raised an eyebrow at him smugly. "I still have two days of vacation left this month."

"Fake my foot! There's plenty of time to rest once you're dead."

"Damn, no wonder he's surnamed Zhou, he really is a skinflint."

Luo Hao chuckled and shook his head, watching them bicker as he used a rope to tie the two boats together and secure them.

Then take a small fish finder, tie it to the fishing line, and lower it down to detect the fish.

"It's 56 meters deep here, and there's a group of fish swimming at the bottom, quite a few of them."

"Then it seems we don't need to bait the area directly; let's use a bait trap!" Zhou Miao made the decision.

For the sake of efficiency, he didn't use the jigging method today, but instead bought a large number of sandworms, which are one of the favorite foods of large yellow croakers.

The slightly disgusting appearance of the sandworm did not cause any psychological reaction in the three of them.

Zhou Miao sat on the bow of the boat, holding a small stool, fishing. He had a kind of "fishing alone on a snowy river" vibe, but he was missing a straw hat.
