The Top Fishing

After arriving in this area, Lin Yang first checked the environment and found that the seawater below was very clear and the water was much shallower than the area where they had been fishing earlier. Under the sunlight, he could even vaguely see the reefs on the seabed.

He also noticed something special about this part of the water. It was precisely at the convergence of two small ocean currents. The mingling of two different currents, due to varying water components and temperatures, led to the prolific growth of algae here. With more microorganisms, small fish and shrimps were more likely to be born, and subsequently, the creatures higher up the food chain would increase in number too. Thus, it was not impossible, as Captain Ah Jie had mentioned, that wild Yellow croakers had been seen in this area.

When Lin Yang and others followed them over, Captain Ah Jie’s face showed some displeasure, but the other four bosses were very happy. After all, they were just out to have fun on this sea outing, and it wasn’t their concern if more people knew about this fishing spot.

Moreover, after fishing Sea Bass earlier, they trusted Lin Yang’s sea fishing skills greatly, so seeing him there, they naturally continued to seek his advice on how to fish for Yellow croaker.

"Hey, brother, can you teach us how to fish for Yellow croaker?"

Lin Yang nodded, "Drop the sinker to the bottom, then reel it back three or four meters, that’s all."

As he spoke, he began to lower his sinker. He still used live shrimp as bait, because Yellow croaker were carnivorous, and shrimp was the best bait.

The four men across from him didn’t hesitate, and all started fishing using the method that Lin Yang just described.

Yue’er also started fishing with a proper technique. Her catch today could be said to be no less impressive than those of the four men, even though she was a girl and it was her first time sea fishing.
