Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 113 Dividing Fish and Changing Fishing Spots

Chapter 222 Dividing Fish and Changing Fishing Spots

After resting for a while, Xiao Kai looked at the flying fish piled on the deck and felt somewhat troubled.

I was busy catching fish and didn't think about separating them, so now I can't tell who caught which ones.

"What should we do?"

Xiao Kai looked at Tian Wenbin, wanting him to give him some advice.

Seeing this, Tian Wenbin simply waved his hand, looking completely indifferent.

"Hey, I thought it was something serious. I don't want the fish. I'm not looking to make money fishing anyway. I've just been riding on your boat for free and I don't know how to repay you. Consider this my payment for the boat."

"How can this be allowed?"

Xiao Kai's expression changed instantly.

He has his own principles; he said he wouldn't charge for the boat fare, so how could he possibly ask him to pay with fish?

Moreover, Tian Wenbin also contributed to these efforts; he alone probably caught dozens of kilograms of fish.

Based on the current price of flying fish, these fish are worth at least one or two thousand yuan.

The normal cost of a three-day, two-night fishing trip by fishing boat is only a little over a thousand yuan, and the value of his fish has long exceeded that.

If we really accept it, wouldn't we be taking advantage of them?

After thinking for a while, Xiao Kai came up with an idea.

"Well then, anyway, it's impossible to tell which fish belongs to which, and many of them just flew onto the boat on their own."

"The boat is mine, so saying we'd split it equally would be a lie. I'll give you one-third!"

Without waiting for Tian Wenbin to refuse, Xiao Kai began to clean the fish, not giving him a chance to object.

Seeing this, Tian Wenbin smiled wryly, but didn't say anything more.

Although the two had only known each other for a few months and their interactions were limited to fishing, they had already gotten to know each other to some extent.

He could tell that Xiao Kai was a man of his word, and he was also quite direct in his actions; he would do what he said he would do.

Since he said he would give one-third, there is no room for negotiation.

"Ugh."

With a sigh, Tian Wenbin also squatted down to help Xiao Kai sort the fish.

Xiao Kai was satisfied when he saw that the other party no longer refuted him.

Soon, with their combined efforts, all the flying fish were sorted into a pile.

Then Xiao Kai roughly divided one-third of the flying fish to Tian Wenbin, which weighed about 100 jin.

Seeing that the fish boxes he brought were full, he even made a point of giving up an insulated fish tank on the foredeck for him to put the fish in.

After finishing, Xiao Kai did a careful calculation and found that the fish they caught today, plus these flying fish, weighed more than 800 jin (400 kg), taking up more than half of the storage space of the entire fishing boat.

This won't do; if this continues, we probably won't have enough after tomorrow.

Although there's an element of luck involved in catching flying fish, and it's not guaranteed that they'll catch them every day, they've actually caught four or five hundred pounds of fish.

This is less than a day; if you fish all day, you'll receive even more.

He had originally planned to stay at sea for two or three days, preferably to catch a tuna and have some fun before going back.

If things continue like this, the ship will probably be full before he even achieves his goal, so wouldn't he have to head back immediately?

Although we can come again, we'll have to wait a few more days.

People can't stay at sea forever; they need to rest.

Xiao Kai would wait one or two days between each sea voyage before going out to sea again, and that was the reason.

So, the next time we go out to sea will probably be next week.

He couldn't wait any longer.

But after thinking it over and over, I couldn't come up with any good solutions, so I could only sigh.

"Never mind, things will work themselves out."

The appearance of a school of flying fish interrupted the two men's night fishing plans. After they finished, they were both very tired, so they went back to their cabins to rest.

The next morning, Xiao Kai got up first, before six o'clock, followed by Tian Wenbin.

After washing up, Xiao Kai set sail and left the area.

Because of the continuous catches here yesterday, the number of fish in this area, especially the number of large fish, has decreased sharply, so they are planning to change fishing spots today.

After a few minutes of sailing, Xiao Kai arrived at a new fishing spot according to another set of coordinates given by Chen Bai.

This new fishing spot is clearly not well-known; they didn't see any other boats when they arrived.

-

Seeing this, Xiao Kai was very satisfied. After all, it wouldn't be as easy to do his job with other people around, and he personally preferred to fish quietly.

He glanced at the data displayed on the fish finder.

Currently, the resources at this new fishing spot are not as good as those at yesterday's spot, but they are not far off.

Regarding this, Xiao Kai could only say that it truly lives up to its reputation as the outer sea; the resources are generally much stronger than those in the near sea.

However, there is one downside: the water here is quite deep today, about 80 meters deep, which is the deepest fishing area Xiao Kai has ever encountered since he started fishing.

Although we can't set anchor, the fishing boat has a built-in jet propulsion system to keep it from drifting aimlessly, so fishing in peace is still not a problem.

However, bottom fishing is more troublesome because the water is deeper, and the fish struggle more under the water pressure, which slows down the efficiency of catching fish.

However, this was nothing to Xiao Kai; he had plenty of patience and stamina.

But this will definitely reduce the efficiency of fishing today.

Fortunately, his goal today was tuna, and catching fewer other fish would free up some space for the tuna.

So Xiao Kai didn't care how much he caught today.

"Let's go here. My friend said that tuna sometimes appear at this fishing spot, and we might get lucky and catch one."

After reviewing the data from the fish finder, Xiao Kai made a decision immediately.

Upon hearing Xiao Kai's words, Tian Wenbin nodded in agreement.

Soon, the two were ready again, and it was time for them to fight on their own.

Xiao Kai used his cheat code to attract fish as usual, and soon he caught one.

As expected, the efficiency of catching fish at a depth of 80 meters was indeed very slow, but the harvest was still decent, with a red sea bream weighing nearly five pounds.

Xiao Kai was satisfied and put the shrimp into the insulated compartment behind him. After finishing, he replaced the shrimp with fresh live shrimp and went fishing again.

It's worth mentioning that he didn't use a multi-hook rig today.

It wasn't that this place was unsuitable; it was mainly because he felt that using a multi-hook rig was too tiring, so he didn't have high expectations for the number of fish he caught today and simply started fishing with a single hook.

On the one hand, using a single hook is easy and can help pass the time; on the other hand, it prevents you from catching too many fish.

Another half day passed quickly.

By the end of the morning, Xiao Kai had caught over 100 jin (50 kg) of fish.

This was achieved by deliberately slowing down the pace; otherwise, following yesterday's rhythm, it would have weighed at least two or three hundred pounds.

For lunch, they ate flying fish roe sauce, made from flying fish roe, and boiled fish fillets made from flying fish meat.

Tian Wenbin was the one cooking.

According to him, not only had he been hitching a ride on Xiao Kai's boat, but he couldn't expect Xiao Kai to keep cooking for him, so he decided to show off his skills.

Xiao Kai couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had no choice but to let it go.
