He had no intention of selling it in the shop; if something could be bought with money, then it wasn't worth much! He closed the door to take a break. The few fish in the tank that were worth asking about were nearly sold; if he didn't sell them soon, they would lose their value! Coming down from upstairs, it was almost eight o'clock, and he should head back to rest.
There were indeed quite a few inquiries. Every afternoon, those Air Force guys would come by to eye those fish! He casually replied to Shi Tianyi while letting Xia Shou go. Sun Lang stood up and grinned at Shi Tian, saying, "Do you have any Wo Liao? Give me a few packs; after closing, I’ll go over and try my luck!"
These past few days, Sun Lang had been feeling a bit restless, wanting to cast his line over there every evening after closing. Today, Old Zhang was waiting for him on the other side again.
"I still have a pack of Black Bream Bait in my car; let me go get it for you."
That pack of Black Bream Bait hadn’t been used today. He brought it back when he returned in the afternoon, and now he could give Sun Lang a discount while also enjoying the sea breeze on the other side, watching him and Old Zhang fish for a while.
When Shi Tian retrieved Wo Liao, Sun Lang was already waiting at the door with his Fishing Gear in hand. The shop door was locked, but the lights were still on. A sign hung at the entrance that read: "The boss is fishing across the street; if you need anything, just shout over!"
Sun Lang was indeed quite dedicated, helping him run the business even after hours! Shi Tian thought maybe it was time to give him a raise!
Good things shouldn't be enjoyed alone; he should also throw a line for Old Zhang later! Otherwise, if he caught all the fish and left Old Zhang speechless, there would be no one to fish with him in the future! With a chuckle, he handed Wo Liao to Sun Lang and grabbed a small stool to join them across the street. Enjoying the sea breeze while watching the two fish was quite a pleasant experience.
Wang Ergou arrived at Sha Niu Po Reservoir with the lobster. Although it was already past eight o'clock, he could still see a few night fishermen holding their ground along the shore.
Familiar with the fishing spots around Sanya, they quickly found a shallow area with plenty of grass and flat terrain.
Night fishing for Grass Carp didn’t require Chang Gan; at night, Grass Carp would come close to shore. As long as there wasn’t too much commotion, they could catch big fish just one or two meters from the bank.
With a four-and-a-half-meter rod, they could fish in water less than two meters deep; they had to cast at an angle.
They used heavy weights to find the bottom and set up double hooks—one for bottom fishing and one for float fishing—adjusting the float accordingly. Half a pack of Wo Liao was cast out as bait; now it was time to see what tonight's catch would be!
Grass Carp could be caught using fresh corn or Plastic Particles bait. They hooked corn on one hook and used Shi Tian's Wo Liao on the other. Wo Liao was essentially Plastic Particles; wrapped with Rubber Band and hooked onto the hook's shank, they cast their lines out and waited for bites.
The two were spaced about twenty meters apart, leaving two Fishing Spots empty between them as planned.
Once everything was set up, they turned off their lights and kept quiet to see if any big catches came by!
In the dark of night, they could hear Grass Carp splashing among the weeds at any moment. The sound was quite enjoyable.
Fishing for Grass Carp required patience too; it was somewhat similar to fishing for Azure Catfish. They loaded enough Wo Liao onto their lines and cast them out, planning to wait for at least half an hour before checking.
After just over twenty minutes, Wang Ergou’s Float began to show some activity.
It first bobbed up slightly before sinking slowly again. Judging by this movement, it wasn’t Grass Carp or Carp.
This float action made Wang Ergou tense up involuntarily; he instinctively attached his Loss Prevention Rope to his Rod—this wasn’t Xiao Yu! A four-and-a-half-meter Rod might need that Loss Prevention Rope after all!
Seizing the moment, Wang Ergou lifted his rod to spear the fish. With a splash from the water plants, his rod was pulled taut.
Wang Ergou wasn't worried; after all, the rod was angled, and as long as he moved quickly, it was easy to raise it upright. He steadied the rod horizontally while swiftly moving towards the fish. A few steps later, he had the rod up, and the fish was practically secured!
Wang Ergou and Lobster were both after the Grass Carp, and they had certainly made their preparations. Though the rod wasn't long, it had thick line and a large hook—if the fish dared to bite, it wouldn't escape!
The only downside was that the rod was too short; the fish was cautious in its movements. If it had been an eight-meter rod, it could have flailed about freely!
With all this commotion on Wang Ergou's side, Lobster didn't expect to catch anything on his end either. Even though they were more than twenty meters apart, it was quiet at night, and Grass Carp were highly alert. There would be no action for at least half an hour!
Carrying the net over, he turned on his headlamp just in time as the Grass Carp made a powerful move and dove right into the net. Dragging it onto shore, he clamped down with the control fish tool—eleven pounds three ounces! It measured around six or seven decimeters long; this fish wasn’t skinny!
At about four years old in the wild, this was a good catch. He quickly took a photo, holding up the fish with a grin.
Night fishing for Grass Carp had yielded a hefty prize! After editing the text, Wang Ergou casually posted it online, including his location to ensure that those night owls could find their way over.
Once he posted it, Lobster snapped a picture of his own catch and added a simple comment: "This fish is fat enough!" He also included his location to see how many people would come by.
After wrapping up their tasks, the two exchanged smiles, lit up two cigarettes, and timed themselves. Ten minutes later, they sprinkled some small bait around their previously established fishing spot, just waiting for those night owls to come and bite!
