Watching the old men run down the mountain, Scallion Ginger Fishy felt a surge of excitement. "Xiao Tian, is there a river up there? Are there many fish?" As he watched Old Wen leave, Scallion Ginger Fishy approached to inquire.
Previously, he had thought Shi Tian was just a young fisherman, but later realized he was the owner of a fishing gear shop. A few days ago, Yi Laotou had hinted at this, and he had been somewhat unconvinced. However, seeing Shi Tian's villa again reshaped his perception of him.
Whether or not the villa belonged to Shi Tian was not important; what mattered was that Shi Tian could live in this villa area, which was quite intriguing. The location was sensitive; even the hotel nearby was not a place for ordinary people to stay, let alone the villas behind it. Moreover, Shi Tian's villa was only simply decorated, lacking the luxury of the hotel guests. It was evident that at least this villa belonged to Shi Tian's family or close acquaintances.
Behind them lay a Heikeng with nothing much to do! After giving Scallion Ginger Fishy a perfunctory response, Shi Tian's eyes lit up: "Since we have time, let's take a boat out to sea! We can catch some fish for dinner!"
With four old men at Xinyue Lake and two girls serving, there were already quite a few people there. Shi Tian did not want to send anyone else over! Yi Laotou was leading the group; this was not his concern. Even if Shi Ye Kong Jun and the others had objections, they would have to endure it! If Scallion Ginger Fishy also went to Xinyue Lake, it would turn into another Heikeng!
At this hour, going out to sea? They could only circle nearby; they wouldn't be able to go far—at most find a small island fishing spot for sea bass! Scallion Ginger Fishy clearly lacked enthusiasm for going out to sea.
It was almost two o'clock; setting sail now wouldn’t allow them to go far—at most twenty nautical miles. They would need to hurry back after two hours of fishing. This was assuming everything was ready; if they had to prepare more things, they might as well forget about it!
Scallion Ginger Fishy wasn't keen on going out to sea, but Shi Tian was full of excitement! Aside from following Shi Ye Kong Jun and the others once, he hadn’t properly gone sea fishing yet!
"Come on! I have a set of rods here; do you need to bring another set? We can quickly grab it from the boat!" He found his unopened sea fishing gear in the warehouse and loaded it into the car while pulling Scallion Ginger Fishy toward the dock.
Glancing at Shi Tian's unwrapped equipment, Scallion Ginger Fishy smiled helplessly—this trip out to sea was definitely happening!
"I won't need it; I'll just accompany you for a spin!" Shaking his head, Scallion Ginger Fishy asked, "Do you have any fishing spots? Have you ever fished at sea before?"
"The ocean is vast, but not every place is good for fishing. Some areas are aquaculture zones where fishermen use nets to farm kelp or deep-sea fish—those places are definitely off-limits for fishing."
"Then there are main shipping lanes where all sorts of boats pass through. If you try fishing there, who knows if you'll catch anything? The Coast Guard might come by and ask you to move along."
"You can't fish in anchorage areas either; large ships have to queue up when entering ports and will anchor there. If you're fishing while they're trying to dock, how will they manage?"
"There are also places where fishermen frequently drop nets; those spots aren’t banned for fishing but dropping your hook could get caught in their nets—and then they might chase you down with their big boats!"
"I don't have any! I've only fished with friends once before and haven't been anywhere else," he replied. "Do you have any fishing spots? Should we ask around?"
Upon hearing this, Scallion Ginger Fishy's eyelids twitched as he shook his head: "Fishing spots at sea are usually found by burning fuel while sailing. Even if there are some, people won't tell you! I'll take you out on my boat for a bit!"
As he jumped out of the car, Scallion Ginger Fishy stared in surprise at the mini Air Force on the small pier: "Mini Air Force? Your friend didn't leave you with that boat, did he?"
Opening the trunk and slowly unloading the fishing gear, Shi Tian replied nonchalantly: "Yeah! That's the boat! Do you know this boat?"
It seems that the Mini Air Force has quite a reputation! Perhaps it's the name that makes it so memorable; once you hear it, you won't forget it! It's hard not to think of a name like that!
I’ve heard of it, seen it, but never been on board! No wonder I haven’t spotted this boat lately; it must have docked here, leaving the folks at Yacht Dock guessing all day! Shaking my head, I helped Shi Tian load the supplies onto the boat, only to realize we hadn’t prepared any bait!
“Did you get the fish bait ready? What are we using to fish?” I turned to ask Shi Tian, while Scallion Ginger Fishy took another look at the Mini Air Force.
At Yacht Dock, the Mini Air Force isn’t too mysterious; its high appearance means there’s a chance for some lucky girls to get on board, and a few photos have circulated. The real mystery lies with the Air Force!
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Air Force is docked most of the year and rarely sets sail; no outsiders have ever boarded it, let alone taken pictures!
“Oh! I forgot! Wait a minute, I need to order some squid and shrimp from my hotel. We won’t be fishing for long, just a little something will do!” Scallion Ginger Fishy reminded me. Otherwise, if we set out only to realize we forgot the bait, that would be so embarrassing—I’d probably be teased by the old man for half a year!
I called the hotel to prepare some squid and shrimp, while Shi Tian drove to pick them up. Scallion Ginger Fishy had already moved all the fishing gear onto the boat.
We’ll just circle around nearby; there’s no need to disturb Sun Lang and Su Xueyi’s little world!
Following Scallion Ginger Fishy’s guidance, the Mini Air Force pulled away from the dock. In just over ten minutes, the dock faded into a horizon where sea met sky.
“Here, let me drive for a bit. I’ll take you fishing for Big Red Spot.” Once we were away from the dock, Scallion Ginger Fishy rubbed his nose and spoke to Shi Tian.
Big Red Spot is quite a catch; wild ones can weigh hundreds or even thousands of pounds—definitely considered high-end seafood!
Hearing about Big Red Spot got Shi Tian excited. The last time he went sea fishing, aside from that thirty-pound Yellowfin Tuna, he hadn’t caught anything noteworthy!
“You’re driving? Do you have a license? We’re still nearshore; if we go too far out and you get checked without a license, that could be trouble!”
Shi Tian guessed that Scallion Ginger Fishy must have a license but wanted to confirm. If he didn’t have one, they should wait until they were further from shore before letting him take over.
“I do have a license; I just didn’t bring it with me. If they check and find out, it’s just a point deduction and a two-hundred-dollar fine. Besides, who has time to check on the Mini Air Force?” Scallion Ginger Fishy replied casually.
Hearing that Scallion Ginger Fishy had a license made Shi Tian happy; he could rely on him for future outings at sea. First things first—let’s make sure he knows all the good fishing spots!
“Step aside from the driver’s seat,” Scallion Ginger Fishy said as he took control of the Mini Air Force. Shi Tian focused on tracking their location quietly. He needed to remember where there were Big Red Spots so he could come back later for some secret fishing!
