Driving over the sea, this was Shi Tian's first time. The process wasn't complicated; tickets could be purchased through WeChat on the public account of the Qiongzhou Strait ferry, or they could be bought at the dock. Generally, buying tickets three to four hours in advance was sufficient.
The tickets weren't expensive, costing forty-one yuan each. Of course, that was just for a person; a car also required a ticket, which was equivalent to nine people, totaling three hundred seventy-four yuan. It seemed reasonable, as the ticket prices were likely calculated based on proportionality.
Next, he added ten dollars for insurance. A third of the funds contributed by the "Line Blasting Brother" had already been spent, and Shi Tian felt a bit pained by this expense!
He bought a ticket for the three o'clock ferry, and since there was still some time before departure, he hurried to find a place for lunch—who knew when his next meal would be?
After driving onto the ferry and strolling up to the deck, he noticed a crowd gathered at the railing, unbothered by the sun, all staring out at the sea. What was there to see? The murky waters of the Qiongzhou Strait were certainly not as clear as those in Sanya.
However, the view from the ferry was impressive; looking up, he could see the tall buildings of Xu Wen just twenty or so kilometers away. It was normal to see them at this time of year; during summer storms, visibility would be much worse.
Crossing the Qiongzhou Strait didn't take long—only about an hour—but with boarding and disembarking, it turned into a two-hour ordeal. After soaking up some sun on deck for a while, he returned to the cabin and pulled out his phone to figure out where to stay that night.
He figured he wouldn't arrive in Xu Wen until later, so there was no need to stay there; he could drive for a few more hours first! To the north of Xu Wen lay Leizhou, and further north was Zhanjiang. With a little more pressure on the gas pedal, he estimated he could reach Zhanjiang in less than two hundred kilometers by tonight! He should arrive around eight o'clock.
Tomorrow would be sea fishing in Zhanjiang, and then heading north the day after. He guessed he could only fish in the Xi River and hoped to reach Xiao Jian by then. However, it felt a bit early; he decided to play it by ear! If necessary, he could always find another spot to fish for an extra day and still make it on schedule!
Early the next morning, before dawn broke, guided by the innkeeper, Shi Tian set off with his sights set on Xia Hai Port!
The dock at Xia Hai Port had been relocated; this one was now abandoned. However, there was an upside—wherever they could build a dock meant that the water had to be deep enough to guarantee big fish; it just depended on whether they could catch any!
He hopped into his car and pulled out his Fishing Box, connecting it to an Outdoor Power Supply. First things first—he needed to grab a Lure Rod!
Yesterday he sold one rod and made over a thousand yuan. If he could sell another one today, it would cover his round-trip expenses!
Unfortunately, it was still early; there probably wouldn't be many people at the dock yet. This way, he could practice with his Water Drop Reel without worrying about others crowding around!
After parking at the dock and tying on a Lure, Shi Tian stood at the edge with his Rod in hand. Arriving early had its advantages; otherwise, all the spots would have been taken by those using Sea Rods!
One person was guarding over ten Sea Rods set up across a large area of the dock; they were still unloading rods from their car—were they there to stock up?
What a shame! With so many rods available, if only they were looking to buy from him instead!
Steering clear of that crowd, Shi Tian drove forward about a hundred meters where no one else was fishing yet. Today would be his spot; otherwise, if three Sea Rod enthusiasts showed up behind him, they'd fill up this dock completely!
There was another vehicle following behind him; anyone coming to this dock at this hour had to be fishermen! He needed to secure his spot first; otherwise, if those behind him took over, he'd have to find another Fishing Spot!
He parked and turned off the engine. Just as he took out his Rod without casting yet, he saw someone from behind sprinting toward him with several rods in hand—this Bro was already twenty meters from the sea and casting his line! Shi Tian watched in disbelief at such dedication for just one Fishing Spot!
When Shi Tian arrived at the dock, Bro had already cast out three rods, marking off over thirty meters of territory—truly unbeatable!
Fishing this early? Water Drop Reel? Are you here to play with Lures? After claiming his spot, Zhan Di Ge was in high spirits! To express his apologies to Shi Tian, he even offered him a cigarette. Now that he had claimed the territory, was this a sign of signing a neighborly agreement?
"Yes, I'm using Lures! I saw someone using them yesterday and it looked fun, so I bought a rod!" Shi Tian replied. Knowing there were plenty of Fishing Buddies around, he specifically came here to cast a few lines and seek some guidance!
After responding to Zhan Di Ge, Shi Tian hurried back to his car and drove forward a few dozen meters to secure his spot first. There were more lights approaching in the distance; if he moved slowly, he might lose his territory!
He parked about twenty meters away from where he wanted to fish and cast his line. The car behind him had already stopped nearby, just like Zhan Di Ge; the doors were left unlocked as they rushed towards the sea with several rods in hand!
He was quick enough to claim the spot ahead of time; otherwise, it would have been snatched away again! Feeling fortunate, Shi Tian proudly watched Bro who had just reached the seaside and said, "Big brother, you’re fishing so early!"
After glancing at the location, Shi Tian realized that if he cast between himself and Zhan Di Ge, the space would be too small—his rod wouldn’t fit at the twenty-meter mark!
"Aren't you here earlier than me? You're using Lures, right? Then I'll cast next to you!" With a sigh, Zhan Di Ge felt a bit regretful; if only he had woken up two minutes earlier, this territory could have been his!
"Alright, let’s cast on our left! I’ll move a bit to the right!" The twenty-meter space felt a bit large; they needed to compress it or else if another Fisherman came in and dropped a few Sea Rods, his Lure fishing would be ruined!
Repeating the same process, Zhan Di Ge cast out three rods again, marking off another thirty meters of territory. Now Shi Tian felt reassured; even if the space between them was less than twenty meters, it would still be considered his territory!
However, since it was still dark, he needed to hurry back to his car for a headlamp! Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to untangle any lines!
Setting down his Rods, he grabbed the headlamp and also took out his Fishing Box and Iso Rod. Even without the Iso Rod, just placing one Rod there could help him further delineate his territory—making it even more secure!
This time the tangles weren’t as severe; it seemed he had truly learned some tricks from the expert yesterday!
