Chapter 177 Fishing for Sharks: First, Use the Bait

"You want me to go shark fishing?" Zhou Miao pointed at himself, bewildered, as Yu Muzhou rushed over. "Those things weigh tons. What am I supposed to use to fish for them?"

"They had cranes and ropes on their boat; you were just lucky. If they hadn't tried various methods and the great white shark hadn't fallen for it, my friend wouldn't have needed to apply for a torpedo."

"Just add something with a bloody smell, and the great white shark will come up on its own, right?"

"It learned its lesson and won't be fooled again! It's also my friend's fault for not taking it seriously enough and not hiring a professional sharpshooter, which led to this whole mess."

"If a great white shark had that kind of brain, wouldn't it fall for it?"

Zhou Miao found it unbelievable. He believed that orcas and dolphins were intelligent, but sharks didn't have such brains.

Shouldn't we just keep getting fooled, and still be the same as Dangdang?

A shark's instincts make it unable to resist the smell of blood.

"We were puzzled too. Even when my friend poured a whole bucket of blood into the water, it didn't work." Yu Muzhou said, frustrated. "I even wondered if that great white shark had become a spirit."

Seeing that he didn't understand the situation either, Zhou Miao could only agree: "Okay, as long as you don't let me take the fishing rod to fish, I'm fine."

An adult great white shark weighs over one and a half tons, and even with Zhou Miao's improved physical abilities, he is far from being a match for it.

But he'd be happy to join in the fun if it was just to cast some bait.

Zhou Miao was also curious whether, under such circumstances, he would be able to catch a shark if he used bait to fish.

"Let's go, let's take care of the shark quickly so everyone can rest easy." Yu Muzhou immediately led Zhou Miao onto his fishing boat and then went to the fishery administration dock.

After arriving here, they boarded a speedboat and sped off at great speed toward the location of the tracking boat.

The injured great white shark remained submerged and moved slowly.

So the speedboat only traveled for about an hour before arriving at the side of a boat that was about twenty meters long.

This boat looks like a fishing boat, but it is actually a patrol boat of the coast guard.

There was no crane originally; it was only installed temporarily to deal with great white sharks. It can lift objects weighing five tons.

Even if a great white shark is very strong, once it takes the bait, this crane can lift it up.

"Old Yan, this is the friend I told you about who's really good at fishing, his name is Zhou Miao. You might really need my friend to solve your problem this time."

Once aboard the ship, Yu Muzhou pulled Zhou Miao into the cabin and introduced her to a man in his forties who had an ordinary appearance but seemed quite refined.

Yan Hongyi sized up Zhou Miao, then gave him a gentle smile: "Hello, Comrade Zhou Miao, thank you for your help this time."

Zhou Miao smiled and nodded in agreement: "Solving the great white shark problem is also solving the near-shore safety issue. I am honored to be able to help."

"Then let's go out and see. Comrade Zhou Miao, just tell us what you need." Yan Hongyi led the way to the outer deck.

In fact, he didn't need to be present at the scene this time; it was originally the responsibility of a junior leader in the Coast Guard.

But Yu Muzhou was a friend of his for many years, and since he brought people to help, he naturally needed to be there.

If the Great White Shark issue can be resolved today, it will prove his ability to lead a team.

"Xiao Lu, this is Comrade Zhou Miao, who's here to help us lure out the Great White Shark. You'll work with him."

The person called Xiao Lu was a temporary worker who was responsible for various tasks, including using bait to lure prey.

He had previously successfully lured out a great white shark, but after the shark was injured, he tried repeatedly and searched for information online, but he still couldn't solve the problem.

Upon hearing the leader's instructions, he immediately agreed and then led Zhou Miao to the crane to explain how he had previously lured the great white shark.

Zhou Miao nodded after listening; there was actually no problem.

He examined the crane, the steel wire it used, and the oversized fishhook attached to it.

He examined the wire and found it to be very similar to the wires used by foreigners fishing for giant saddleback groupers in online videos.

This shows that Xiao Lu has mastered the basic operations and various details, but he just lacks a bit of luck.

Zhou Miao didn't need to improve these aspects at all, so he said, "What kind of bait are you using? Bring it over and try fishing with it first."

"We used poached chicken, and we hung a small cage next to the bait, filled with pig's blood." Xiao Lu brought the things over.

"Let's try it first." Zhou Miao personally put the pig's blood into the bait cage, then hung the poached chicken on the hook, threw the bait into the water, and finally started the crane to release the line.

The depth here is about 100 meters. Great white sharks are always active at the bottom, so the bait can just sink to the bottom.

A large lead weight is tied to the steel rope, so there's no fear that the hook and bait won't sink to the bottom.

Yan Hongyi and Yu Muzhou were watching from the side, but after waiting for about twenty minutes, the crane did not respond at all.

"Ah Zhou, your friend's luck seems to be a bit off today."

"Don't rush, Lao Yan, it hasn't been that long!"

Yu Muzhou was also a little hesitant, but he naturally couldn't show weakness in front of his friends.

Yu Muzhou was also a little hesitant, but he naturally couldn't show weakness in front of his friends.

However, during this waiting period, Zhou Miao had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Instead of just waiting idly, he talked to Xiao Lu to find out what baits had been used in the past few days.

As a result, they used either poached chicken or frozen dead fish. He even applied for funding to buy several large fish weighing over 20 kilograms each.

The fish were too small; the hook couldn't even cover them, let alone attract sharks. Nothing worked.

Zhou Miao went into the cabin to observe the fish finder. When he spotted a red dot at the stern, he felt confident.

Do you have fishing rods on your boat?

"Yes, but wouldn't a fishing rod be unsuitable for fishing this great white shark?"

"Don't fish for sharks, fish for bait."

Xiao Lu frowned. How big of a fish would it have to be to be used as bait? But in the open sea, could there be such a big fish?

He had considered this possibility and even tried, but he couldn't catch any big fish, so he gave up.

But since Zhou Miao had already made the request, he naturally wouldn't object.

He even hoped that the other party's hard work today would be in vain, so as not to expose his own lack of ability in the workplace.

However, Zhou Miao has never failed when it comes to fishing.

I grabbed a fishing rod, attached a lure, and swung it towards the stern of the boat. The fishing line had barely tightened when the tip of the rod bent down.

Yan Hongyi's eyes lit up; the speed at which they caught the fish was truly impressive!

As Yu Muzhou's friend, he naturally knew how to fish. Occasionally, during his break, he would join in for a few rounds, but he wasn't that addicted.

Zhou Miao quickly pulled the fish up; it was a bass weighing about five pounds.

But he wasn't satisfied; the fish was still a bit too small. So he tossed the fish aside and continued casting the lure.

"Don't waste such good fish, find a box to keep them in." Yan Hongyi had an idea and said to the temporary worker, Xiao Lu.

Xiao Lu, no longer having time to be surprised, immediately went to do what he was told.

As soon as he turned around, Zhou Miao jerked the rod again to set the hook. Hearing the noise, Xiao Lu turned around and saw the fishing rod bend down once more.

Moreover, the greater curvature this time indicates that the fish is also larger.

With a surprised look on his face, he went to find a large box, filled it with seawater, and raised the bass in it.
