In Shi Tian's view, there was no need for any elaborate script for the fishing-themed short videos. A scene of the morning sun breaking through the dawn, accompanied by a faint background melody, along with the gentle rocking of a small boat and perhaps two seabirds in the frame, would suffice.
After nearly half an hour, a small island emerged from the sea. Shi Tian adjusted the course again, allowing the morning sun to cast a warm glow on the beach as it rose alongside the island. Oka, holding a camera, bounced at the bow of the boat; this was their first Fishing Spot!
They circled around the island to confirm that no one had come to set up Baiting Hooks or fishing nets today. Shi Tian anchored the boat fifty meters away from the island, and now it was time for Scallion Ginger Fishy’s mission.
“There’s an Ocean Current over there; let’s stop here! We’ll fish for two hours!” Oka said, pointing to a corner of the island as he put away his camera.
With fishing about to commence, it would be inconvenient to take more photos. Scallion Ginger Fishy and Oka had already prepared their Dog Meat bait; now it was up to them to see if they could catch any fish!
The area near the island had shallower waters, and Sea Bass were plentiful! After securing the boat, Scallion Ginger Fishy grabbed a Rod and moved to the back of the boat where there was also a control panel for operating the Fishing Boat while fishing.
Since there were Sea Bass here, it would be straightforward. He tossed in some Wo Liao bait to see how effective it was in the water.
However, there was no rush; he decided not to use Wo Liao just yet. They would fish for a while first and then use Wo Liao after about half an hour for comparison!
With Live Shrimp attached, Shi Tian cast his line into the water without worrying about whether there was an Ocean Current or not; as long as there was water, there were bound to be fish below!
Observing Ocean Currents wasn’t that simple. Oka and Scallion Ginger Fishy often went Sea Fishing and had their own methods of judgment. If Shi Tian wanted to learn, he would need to spend most of a day mastering it!
Shi Tian cast his line while Scallion Ginger Fishy and Oka did the same. Now it was just a matter of who would catch a fish first!
“Xiao Tian, your Rod is quite nice! I checked in your store; it seems you don’t have this kind of Boat Rod!” After accompanying Shi Tian on a Sea Fishing trip once, Oka had noticed the Rods that Shi Tian and Scallion Ginger Fishy were using.
Especially when Shi Tian caught that thirty-something-pound Tuna; seeing how resilient that Rod was made him determined to get one for himself. However, later on, when he checked at Shi Tian's store, they didn’t have any Boat Rods available. When he asked a staff member about it, that unreliable employee didn’t even know what a Boat Rod was!
Later on, he inquired about Scallion Ginger Fishy but learned that Shi Tian had mentioned before that Boat Rods weren’t available for sale at that time. This made it awkward for Scallion Ginger Fishy to bring it up; he could only let Oka talk to Shi Tian directly.
Since there were few people fishing with Sea Fishing gear over there and Boat Rods were expensive—hardly any would sell—there were no plans to stock them.
After replying to Oka, Shi Tian looked up with a slight smile and said, “This Rod isn’t usually needed here; it's designed for fish over one kilogram. The cost price is already ten thousand. If you want one, I can help you get it!”
Shi Tian's quote wasn’t meant to rip off Oka; a good Boat Rod typically costs around eight or nine thousand. His Rod was much better than those average ones; even if sold in stores, its price wouldn’t be less than twenty thousand.
The pricing for Hand Rods, Lures, and Iso Rods is lower just to popularize them and build brand recognition. Once Xing Brand’s Rods gained enough fame, they would definitely move towards high-end markets starting at four-digit prices!
“Get me one! You’re serious? Just get me one like yours! I see your line isn’t ordinary either; throw in two thousand meters of line while you’re at it! How much? I’ll transfer you everything together!”
Oka was quite satisfied with Shi Tian’s quote; he knew this Rod was exceptional and that its Price wouldn’t be cheap. He estimated its value around twenty thousand and was somewhat surprised by Shi Tian's offer.
When Shi Tian gifted Yi Laotou a Customized Rod before, Old Wen had casually mentioned that one rod cost seventy-two thousand; Yi Laotou's entire set of rods was worth several hundred thousand!
Scallion Ginger Fishy hadn’t had a chance to use one but hearing that Price made him lose interest in trying! It was better not to try; if he did and ended up spending hundreds of thousands on a set of rods, would his resort still be able to operate?
“The line is priced at three dollars per meter. However, there's no need for two thousand meters; one thousand will suffice—exchanging isn’t worth it.” The fishing line is indeed priced by meter; this type of line is incomparable to ordinary lines found in stores—five dollars per meter is considered normal!
Before he could finish speaking, a fish was caught at the Scallions and Ginger spot—a seven-pound Sea Bass was flung onto the boat. For a fish of that size, it was considered normal, not particularly impressive.
With a sweep of the Korean Style Landing Net, there was a thud, and the fish settled down! He unhooked it and casually tossed it into the Blue Box on the boat. The box had insulation and was lined with ice, so even though the fish had been through the ordeal of the Korean Style Landing Net, it wouldn't spoil after being stored for a day.
In a few days, they would head to Xisha to have some fun. He heard that the fish there were larger, and it was time to replace the line on this Rod. If they lost a fish due to a frayed line, that would be a huge loss! With a chuckle, Oka remarked.
Xisha? Shi Tian was quite eager about it, but he didn't have time at the moment. He was still contemplating how to use the newly released Wo Liao to stir up trouble in the Fishing Circle!
Large fish over there? Then let’s get you two numbers! That would be safer! The Shipping Fee for Xisha wasn't cheap, and Qing Shi Tian certainly didn't want him to lose any fish due to a frayed line; otherwise, Oka might show up with a kitchen knife to have a serious talk!
With two numbers added, they had reached the limit for line strength—this was already at the maximum capacity for an average person. Even if they encountered a Marlin like in "The Old Man and the Sea," this line would suffice. However, while that old man used a small boat that could be dragged by a powerful fish, they were using a large boat in Xisha. There was no way they could let a fish drag them around! Catching such a large fish would ultimately lead to either breaking the rod or snapping the line!
Two numbers were definitely safer! After finalizing the Rod and line with Shi Tian, Oka felt quite pleased. He casually hooked an Azure Sea Bass, and this time it was time to deploy the Net!
As Shi Tian helped Oka land the fish, he felt somewhat frustrated. Both of them had made catches, yet he still had to uphold his reputation as an Air Force!
