Rofe Bay is located at a junction where cold and warm currents meet, and unlike other seas, Rofe Bay is surrounded by reefs, and boats have to be very careful when navigating this area.

Because of the large number of coral reefs, there is an abundance of fish bait, plankton and seaweed, which attract a large number of marine fish to hunt here.

Before 3100, the Gulf of Rofe could catch hundreds of thousands of tons of fish every year under normal circumstances, because it belongs to the high seas, which has led to the overfishing of distant-water fishing vessels from various countries in this area in the past 30 years, and the fishery resources have been seriously damaged.

In order to protect the Gulf of Rofe, many countries had to sign protection regulations stipulating that trawlers were not allowed to enter the area, and that fishing could only be done with fishing rods instead of trawling nets and purse seine nets.

This gives traditional fishermen a chance to survive, and what they do best is to catch large fish such as tuna, blue marlin and swordfish with their rods.

Fingerlings like these more precious fish are very good in the fish market, almost to the point where they are in short supply, and every time they appear in the market, they will arouse people's onlookers, seek after and buy, and they can be carved up in a short time.

The funny thing is that when someone calls a friend on the front foot and the friend on the back foot arrives, the fish don't even have bones.

It's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's basically all belonging.

Generally speaking, this precious large fish rarely appears in the market, and basically every time the boat arrives at the dock, it is scrambling for the long-waiting traders.

Some of these vendors are middlemen, some are owners of their own seafood restaurants, and some are hotel owners who are responsible for buying ingredients.

Ye Luo sat on a deck chair and browsed the facts about Rofe Bay and tuna.

I don't know if it was discussed by everyone, but in addition to Daxter being in charge of driving the goldfish that Ye Luo was riding, he and Shanna and Amy were left with a man and three women, and the bluefish behind them were Thomas, Renison and Lore.

Robert and Wiggins remained on the island to feed the fry in the fishery each day, while Kahn and the others kept the island safe.

Daxter drove the Goldfish and dragged the Bluefish all the way through the ocean, reaching speeds of up to thirty knots, which was already close to its own limit.

No way.

You have to drive quickly, because your own miracle island is a bit far from the bay of Rofe, more than 1,400 kilometers.

At the speed of the Goldfish, it would take at least more than a day to close to two days to arrive.

As for why the Bluefish is being towed, on the one hand, the speed of the Bluefish cannot keep up with the Goldfish, and on the other hand, it can save fuel.

Don't look at the fact that they have made a lot of preparations before going to sea, but none of them dare to guarantee that the ship will not have any failure in the next second, plus they will live at sea for nearly two months this time, and the consumption of diesel fuel is really a bit large.

It would be embarrassing if there was a sudden run of fuel at sea.

Therefore, experienced fishermen, if they have a good relationship with each other, will reduce the fuel consumption of other fishing vessels in this way.

In fact, if several ships go to sea together, if they do not set off separately in the way of towing, then the fuel of all ships will be consumed together, and if they are towed, although the fuel consumption of the first ship is a little larger, it can save unnecessary consumption for the ships that follow.

Dast got out of the cab after setting the Goldfish to autopilot, and then handed a few bottles of wine to Ye Luo and Shana, and then reported the weather in recent days by the way: "

Boss, I just received a radio notification in the driver, and the last week in Rofe Bay has been calm, and it seems that we are lucky. ”

"That's great, I don't want to have a thunderstorm on my first trip. ”

Ye Luo took the beer with a smile and took a sip: "The sea is not better than the land, when we are on land, we can at least find a place to hide from the rain, but it is different on the sea, except for the boat, we have nowhere to hide, and at the same time we have to be careful if there will be wind and waves." ”

Shanna and Amy took the beer from Daxter, thanked them first, and then took them in their hands and didn't drink them immediately, probably because of their habits when they were in the army.

Daxter didn't care about this, he knew that Shanna and the others were different from himself, they were fishermen, and they could drink a little wine in their spare time, while they were bodyguards, and they needed to keep themselves awake at all times, and in case of emergencies, they could deal with them in time.

Daxter drank a bottle of wine in one gulp, and then began to pack up the lines and hooks.

Because it was not possible to carry trawling nets into the Bay of Rofe, the nets were unloaded on both the Goldfish and the Bluefish, freeing up a large space.

A lot of miscellaneous items were placed there, including buckets of pure water and rolls of fishing line, which Dusty was sorting through right now.

There's no way he can let Ye Luo, a boss who doesn't know anything, do these things?

Ye Luo next to him looked very interesting: "Do you need my help to get so much?"

"No, I'll be able to do that in no time. ”

Dast smiled and refused: "Now the rod can be removed, all I have to do now is press the wheel, then put the line through the rod, and hang the fake bait hook, it's very easy." ”

Hearing Daxter's words, Ye Luo could only dispel the idea of helping: "Okay, I'll leave it to you, at least you are better than me as a rookie in this regard, I don't know how many times, maybe my help is more like adding chaos to you." ”

"Poof......

Shanna couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that you are very self-aware." ”

Amy next to her covered her mouth and snickered.

Daxter quietly turned around, turned his back to Ye Luo and continued to work, but it could be seen from the shoulders that were shaking from time to time that he was also amused by Ye Luo's words.

The actions of the three of them were all seen by Ye Luo, and they couldn't help pouting, and then turned their heads to look at the sea.

Generally speaking, it is good to say that the time is short to sail on the sea, and there are sea breezes, waves, and seabirds, which looks very emotional.

But after a long time, it will be boring, and the sea breeze will blow around, and it seems that the sea is still the sea, and the seabirds will disappear as they enter the deep sea.

Ye Luodi didn't have such a feeling, he had a different kind of feeling for the ocean, as long as he saw the vast and vast sea, he felt inexplicably happy, as if there was nothing to worry about.

It's just that.

He doesn't have anything to worry about now.

......

The two ships drove on the sea for a day, and at noon, Ye Luo specially made a dish of boiled beef, with a few slightly spicy dishes, and the group ate with a mouthful of oil.

The sea voyage is boring, which will inevitably affect the mood, so the prepared meals are mainly spicy and easy to appetize.

After eating, Renison and the others didn't bother to go back to the Blue Fish in the back, and stayed directly on the Goldfish.

Ye Luo asked the group how they felt, Thomas had no problem as long as he had something to eat, and Renison and Lore listened all the way

Shanna and Amy stretched out to say that it didn't have any effect, and Dusty laughed: "That's a small thing, boss, I've been an ocean-going seafarer since I didn't fish, and I've been at sea for almost a year at the longest!"

Compared to the hard work of ocean fishing, the Goldfish is a comfortable vacation, with a living room in the cabin and a giant 70-inch LCD TV. There are guards and star receivers on the top of the yacht, and even adult TV stations can be received, and you can watch TV if you have nothing to do.

In the evening, Thomas's fishing rod hanging from the goldfish fishing boat paid off, and he caught two squid of nearly fifty centimeters, as well as two large sea serpent-like creatures, American eels.

These two American eels are one large and one small, the largest one is two and a half meters long, and the thickness of the sea bowl is estimated to be fifteen or sixteen kilograms. The smaller one is about one and a half meters long, and it has to be about ten kilograms.

Thomas touched the belly of the American eel, carefully plucked the struggling American eel from the hook, and said to Ye Luo: "Boss, this female fish has not spawned yet, or we will let it go?"

Ye Luo nodded, this is the third harvest, not to mention the previous two times I caught mackerel and cod, plus the two squid this time, it is enough for them to eat, it doesn't matter if there are eels or not.

Thomas lifted the remaining American eels and squid onto the deck and sighed, "American eels are becoming more and more rare now, but I didn't expect to encounter them in the deep sea, you must know that they used to live in shallow waters." ”

The American eel, like its eel relatives, is a river-growing species that migrates to the river in the spring to lay eggs, hatch offspring, and then live in the sea.

However, because of the wonderful taste of this fish, it has attracted human overfishing, and they have been caught in the river where they migrate.

Later, although governments began to take measures to protect them, many of the eels' migratory routes were cut off due to the construction of water conservancy projects.

The American eels have no choice but to adapt to nature, laying their eggs in the deep sea to escape predators.

However, the habits of tens of thousands of years are not so easy to change, and many of the small eels hatched in the sea cannot adapt to the salinity and will die naturally.

After Ye Luo figured this out, he threw the male American eel back into the sea and said, "We have enough food, so there is no need to deprive this endangered species of its right to live." ”

Seeing this, Daxter, Thomas, and Renison all bent slightly to Ye Luo, which was a sign of respect for the fishermen.

Lore, Shanna, and Amy all had a little surprise in their eyes.

You must know that the meat of the American eel is delicious, and the fish roe is even more delicious, and when Ye Luo first came, Daxter also used a bamboo tube to catch a small American eel for him to eat. The fish roe is wrapped in eggs and fried, and it is simply fragrant.

At that time, Ye Luo didn't know the survival of this creature, otherwise he wouldn't have eaten all those fish.

For Ye Luo's ability to resist the temptation of delicious food, the release of these two American eels is enough to make the two and a half old fishermen feel respectful.

For dinner, Ye Luo processed two squid and made teppanyaki. Squid is slathered in sauce, sprinkled with sesame salt, and served with a cold beer, and watching the sun set over the ocean is also a different kind of enjoyment.

One day and one night.

At half past four in the morning, the morning sun had just appeared in the east.

The goldfish's radio station sounded an inquiry: "Trawler YL-1314, trawler YL-1314, this is the Facles Coastal Patrol No. 30 helicopter, please answer, please answer." ”
