Chapter 150: Trolling

Sailfish are known to swim very fast, so it is extremely difficult to catch them with trawls and purse seine nets, and there is almost no possibility. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info It's like tuna can only be caught with longlines.

There are two ways to catch sailfish, both of which are caught with hooks, not nets. One is trolling, the other is pulling! Now Shuichi Minamino is planning to use trolling.

Trolling: Fish that migrate off the surface, such as sailfish, tuna, and swordfish.

Generally, sailfish are fished by special trolling boats or special fishing boats, and at the intersection of the tides, they are dragged on the stern of the boat with false or live bait to lure predatory remitting fish to take the bait.

The cost of trolling is relatively expensive everywhere, including charter fees, professional trolling rods and related fishing tackle. This fishing method is also a more international way of fishing.

In fact, trolling is a noble sport of fishing, and only the rich can afford to play it, like the rich people in later generations who like to play this trolling sport when they go to the beach for vacation.

Trolling fishing is to try to be a novelty and fun, and fishing methods like this are generally to catch some more expensive fish, such as tuna, sailfish and so on. If it were sold exclusively by trolling fishing, it would be estimated that eight out of ten fishermen would lose money. The cost is just too high!

A trolling boat is a bit like a yacht, it is characterized by its high speed and the fact that its stern can create waves that resemble a current. This will attract nearby sailfish, tuna, and more.

The speed is fast, and there must be more oil burned. Besides, it's good to have only seven or eight rods in a normal trolling boat, and you won't be able to catch fish if you don't encounter a school of fish. So playing trolling is a sport played by the rich, and it is a money-burning thing.

It's normal for a lot of trolling to go out to sea and often don't catch fish all day! Because only those sailfish, tuna, etc., can catch up with the speed of trolling. Only this predatory fish would like to chase down bait that moves quickly in the sea.

"Although the speed of the fishing boat is a little worse, you can also give it a try, in case a fish catches the bait!" Nanno Shuichi looked forward to it.

"Boss, I took out the fishing gear. The busbars of these fishing gear should be able to withstand the pull of the sailfish!" After a while, Ishida Yu came out with a four-rod fishing rod.

"Well, this four-rod rod is good, big enough, and the lines are thick enough to withstand the weight and pull of the swordfish. Shuichi Minamino took a rod and felt it, saying that the rod should be able to withstand 80-30 pounds, and it is best to use a special trolling casting rod. The average small rod is completely useless for these predatory fish.

Immediately asked the old man Kimura to drive the boat as fast as possible, and he was cruising back and forth in the neighborhood. ”

"Yes. ”

"Let's go under the stern. "Shuichi Minamino greeted Yu Ishida and Minamiki Noguchi and others. Ami Inoue was also curious to follow up to see the excitement.

Minamino's fishing is equipped with a large reel, a 300-meter-long high-quality nylon busbar that is connected to an airplane by a large twisting ring at the end of the bus, which floats the rig on the surface. The lower end of the "aircraft" is also connected to the steel wire by a reverse twist ring for 3~3.5 meters. Fill the end of the line with a lure or a sturdy hook. This equipment is essentially the same as the trolling tackle used to catch tuna.

The speed of the fishing boat began to pick up, and Shuichi Minamino and Yu Ishida and others also got the bait and threw the hook into the water. Originally, the stern propeller would push the sea water to create a thrust current, and there would be churning waves. The hook quickly disappeared into the stern of the boat under the thrust of the waves.

"Is this a way of fishing against the current?" asked Ami Inoue on the side, curiously.

"Well, sort of, but it should be called trolling. "Minamino Shuichi. Fishing is usually done in calm water, but even in rivers, the current is gentle or in a bay.

There are many different ways to fish in the ocean, and this type of trolling against the water is rare. However, those predatory fish like to eat bait that moves quickly against the current.

At this time, the seven or eight sailfish seemed to be still feeding in the nearby water, the farthest distance was about seven or eight hundred meters away from the fishing boat, and the closest distance was less than a hundred meters, which was simply very bold. It seems that these swordfish don't take the behemoth fishing boats around them seriously at all.

The hooks of the four rods were dropped, and then there was nothing to do, just wait for the sailfish to bite or not bite the hook. If you don't bite, it's useless to wait until the sky is old.

In general, the first thing you should do is to look for or spot a sailfish before fishing. The characteristic of sailfish swimming is that the dorsal and caudal fins are often exposed to the surface, and the dynamics of the fins can be used to determine the direction of their fish.

Now this condition has been met, because the sailfish is nearby.

Next, try to throw the rig in front of or near the direction where the sailfish is swimming. This is something that Shuichi Minamino also did.

"How long is this going to wait, why don't those swordfish come to eat the bait?" Soon ten minutes passed, but the sailfish didn't even come close as if they hadn't seen the bait.

"Hey, you think that as soon as you put it down, there will be swordfish biting, if the tone is not good, it is estimated that it will not be long before those swordfish are full of food and drink. Minamino said with a smile. For example, sailfish are very predatory fish. It will not choose to eat foods that are weak and unchallenging. After all, there is no interest at all.

The main reason is that the speed of the Junzheng has not yet been mentioned as the highest, and if the highest estimate is mentioned, there is still a chance. Maybe the retrograde bait will be chased by the sailfish.

"I see. Inoue Ami said as if she didn't understand.

"You see, those swordfish just don't come close. Ishida was also depressed.

"Come here, come here, come over and give you something good to eat......" Inoue Ami beckoned to the sailfish in a delicate voice, the voice was delicate. It makes people feel crispy to hear.

“……”

"Minamino-kun, is the meat of the sailfish delicious, better than tuna?" Inoue Ami continued.

"Well, it's better than the inferior tuna, but it's a little worse than the bluefin tuna and the yellowfin tuna. But overall, sashimi and sushi made from the meat of swordfish is definitely a must!" said Minamino with a smile.

"Have you eaten it?"

"Ahem...... I haven't eaten it yet, I've heard of it, and it seems that there should be a restaurant in Nemuro City, but I haven't tried it in the first few meals. Shuichi Minamino had embarrassment written all over his face with a capital letter.

Soon half an hour had passed, and the speed of the fishing boat had been raised to its highest speed, but the sailfish did not have the slightest interest in the bait in the distance from the stern. This hurt Minamino Shuichi. (To be continued.) )
