The fishing spot was not far from where they had spent the night, and Tony still drove the boat to twenty knots, and soon reached the area.

Turn off the motor and they'll be fishing for bluefin tuna.

Liu Danqing beckoned Xing Dawei to load all three fishing rods with thick bus and sub lines, tie thick alloy hooks on the strand line, hang a mackerel on the hook, throw it into the sea, and stop the line when the number on the fishing reel jumps to 100 meters, and adjust the brake on the reel reel to a position of 50 kilograms.

The water depth here is much deeper than that of the overnight place, about 200 meters, which is why the ocean current dissipates when it reaches here, firstly, because the remaining potential is exhausted, and partly because the terrain of the seabed here is changeable.

Liu Danqing said: "You don't need bait to fish bluefin tuna, but use small fish as bait, which is what all tuna fishermen in Gloucester do." ”

"And that's not all, because bluefin tuna swim to get oxygen by letting the water flow through their gills, which means they have to stay swimming forever, and if they stop, they suffocate to death. ”

"So we're going to keep throwing bait into the water, and it's these thawed trash fish, mackerel, sardines, and so on, and when the bluefin tuna finds it, they hover around and devour it until they bite our hook. ”

Liu Danqing poured a box of miscellaneous fish into a bucket, carried it to the side of the boat, and said to Xiao Weiwei and the chess pieces: "Weiwei, chess pieces, give you a task, you come and throw the bait, throw a small fish in two or three minutes, give, this is a fork, just fork it with a fork and throw it into the sea." ”

Xing Dawei put the last fishing rod in order, walked over and asked, "Master Qing, what are we going to do then?"

"We went fishing on the bow of the boat and got some bait, and I didn't think enough of the bait we bought. ”

Liu Danqing said to Xing Dawei: "I looked at it just now, there are a total of six large boxes of frozen trash fish, these are for those veterans, but for us, it should still be enough, I estimate, at most two days, the bait will be gone." ”

When Xiao Weiwei heard Liu Danqing say fishing, she immediately stuffed the fork into the chess piece's hand, leaned over and said, "I want to fish, Qingqing, let me go fishing." ”

As soon as the word "well" came out, Liu Danqing immediately surrendered, and then another fishing rod went into Xiao Weiwei's hand.

Liu Danqing asked the two of them to put a hook near the bow of the fishing boat to fish, and took care of it: "I went to stare at the fish finder, and when I heard me shouting to reel in the line, you will immediately reel in the line, even if you are in the middle of the fish, you have to reel in the line if you cut the bus line, you know?"

Seeing Liu Danqing's serious face, the two couldn't help but nod at the same time, and then went fishing.

Liu Danqing walked to the cockpit, pointed to the screen of the fish finder that refreshed the interface frame by frame, and introduced to Xiao San: "This is the sonar fish finder, it can explore whether there are fish underwater, build and see, this red dot is a fish, but the size is not very large, obviously it will not be our goal." ”

"No fisherman can find bluefin tuna directly, they are like gypsies in the sea, always on the road. Experienced fishermen are able to determine which areas are likely to have bluefin tuna based on the weather and currents, and then lure them in by sprinkling the material. ”

"Where we're now, the water isn't too deep, and if you're going to fish for bluefin tuna in deeper waters, then the bait has another use, which is to lure the bluefins up to 300 meters below the depths. ”

"If we go well for bluefin tuna and we can't catch Damarin, we go north or west to the deep sea and try it, but that's pure luck. ”

Tony was standing at the rudder of the ship at this time, and although the ship was now afloat, it seemed that he still wanted to prove his work attitude in this way.

Seeing that Liu Danqing was looking at the fish detector, he thought for a while and asked: "Qin, since you are recreational fishing, why don't you go to Cape Cod, there are also a lot of bluefin tuna there, and it is closer to Gloucester, it only takes two hours to get there, and it is convenient to supply something." ”

This is also where he wonders, the average bluefin tuna fisher rarely runs so far, and further west, it is the fishing range of longline fishing boats.

Of course, ordinary fishing boats do not dare to sail here to fish, in case of a strong wind, like the Nemo, it is okay, the boat is large, fast, there is no danger, the average tuna fishing boat is ten meters long, but it is difficult to say.

Liu Danqing explained with a smile: "There are too many cod horn boats, troublesome, how good it is here, clean, even if you can't catch fish, it's good to come out and play for five days." ”

Just when the two were chatting happily, the fish finder suddenly made a "beep" prompt.

This means that a big fish has entered the detection range of the fish finder, so it sends out a prompt to remind the angler that there is a big fish, and hurry up and cheer up.

"So fast?" Liu Danqing returned to the fish finder in surprise, and a red strip-like object appeared on the screen, changing the reminder and location as the screen refreshed.

"Hey, shark!" said the two in unison, and after speaking, they each glanced at each other, and everything was silent.

Liu Danqing: This old man has a good level, and he can see at a glance that the shark is coming.

Tony: This guy said it was his first time fishing for bluefin tuna, and he could tell from the fish finder that it was a shark, so he could be a novice?

Both of them smiled at each other, and then Liu Danqing turned back to the chess pieces and said, "Chess pieces, stop throwing bait first, there are sharks coming." ”

"Oh, okay. The little beautiful singer who was working hard put her fork next to the bucket and went to see the two fishermen.

The two of them have been fishing for twenty or thirty minutes, but no one has caught anything, although from the perspective of the fish finder, there are red spots of small size passing by from time to time, but those fish do not bite the hook, no one can do anything.

The shark hovered underwater for a while, saw that there was no snack and floated down again, shook its tail and swam away, now is not its hunting time, it is estimated that it went out for a walk, saw a snack, ate it, and ate it, the snack was gone, and it was gone.

After the shark had been gone for more than ten minutes, Liu Danqing continued to shout and throw the bait with the chess pieces, hoping to lure the bluefin tuna over.

This work lasted for more than an hour, during which Liu Danqing also specially asked Tony to help him watch the fish finder, and he went to replace the chess pieces for a while.

People are also guests anyway, and they always let her do this kind of mechanical exercise, which is a bit too much to take bean bags and not dry food.
