Chapter 63 A Different Kind of Longline Fishing
(Thanks to the readers of "Braised Peanuts" for the 2000 starting coins tip!)
In the sea water, a series of huge dark shadows appeared in everyone's field of vision, they moved very fast, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye, probably diving deeper into the sea water and not being able to see it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć During the info, you can also see small marine fish the size of a palm being chased by a yellowfin tuna and swallowed in one bite.
"My god of the sea, I guess there are yellowfin tuna within a radius of 2 kilometers! What a big school of fish I encountered this time!" Tanimura Ueno said in shock as he looked at the surrounding sea with a telescope.
"We were so lucky this time, we didn't expect to encounter a school of tuna while sailing! I didn't encounter tuna after placing a few longlines a few days ago, so I didn't expect to meet them today. ā
"The yellowfin tuna we encountered today is so big, no smaller than the last time we encountered it. ā
"Haha, look! those little sea fish have jumped out of the sea after being pursued, what a poor little sea fish. ā
"Boss, what are we waiting for, let's take the bait!"
"Okay, take the bait!" Minamino nodded his head.
Fishing nets for large fish such as yellowfin tuna are not suitable, and the distribution of this fish is too large, and if you need to use nets, the two fishing boats are probably a bit busy, so longline fishing is the most suitable.
Traditional longline fishing is to release a vinylon rope with a diameter of about 6 to 10 mm and a length of more than 100 kilometers from a boat, and a number of branch lines and floats are tied to the main line at a certain distance, and the bait carried by it is suspended in the water. There is an aluminum alloy circular barbed hook below the branch line, and once the target is hooked, it is difficult to escape. In order to identify the position of the fishing gear, buoy lights are installed on the buoys of the dry ropes.
This traditional longline fishing involves placing hundreds of kilometers of tuna to wait for the tuna to come to the door to feed when they encounter a bite. This type of fishing is a type of wait-and-wait for the rabbit. This is not the initiative to attack, it means to cast a wide net, the number of places is large, the range is wide, and there will always be tuna that will be hooked. In addition to tuna, there are also other fish bites. But none of that matters.
Now Shuichi Minamino uses longline fishing methods that are different from others, and everyone else waits for the tuna to catch when they catch it. This kind of hunting is very lucky. If you don't have tuna in the spot, you're doing a lot of useless work.
Shuichi Minamino's method of operation is to find the tuna school first and then place the longline, so that the longline is in the pile of fish, and basically the fish will be hooked as soon as they are put down! Unlike the traditional longline operation, you have to wait for half a day or even a whole day to start fishing to see if you have caught tuna.
The way of fishing is the same, there is only one different place, others use longline fishing to catch tuna is waiting for the rabbit, but Minamino Shuichi takes the initiative! Because he has the ability to locate the fish. Others can only rely on experience and wait for the rabbit, and they can directly take the initiative to find the fish and then act.
For this alone, Shuichi Minamino dumped others n streets!
Fortunately, the current longline fishing is not as rampant as in later generations, and the placement range is as long as hundreds of kilometers, and it is estimated that it is at most tens of kilometers now. In fact, this fishing method is very harmful to the fishing industry. That's why the fisheries were largely depleted in later generations.
Imagine that hundreds of kilometers are longline fishing, and almost all the fish that pass by will bite the hook, and you think about how many fish you will catch? At that time, it was calculated by the ton, and it was common for a fishery to catch tens of millions of tons of fish!
At present, the traditional longline fishing method has not yet reached mechanization, and now it is basically artificial. However, Shuichi Minamino knew that within ten years, distant-water fishing would develop rapidly in all aspects!
"Boss, how many hooks?"
"The Jun Raid will go down 1,000 hooks first, and the rented fishing boat will also go down 1,000 hooks, and we'll continue to add it later depending on the situation. Minamino Shuichi thought for a moment.
"Good. ā
"Take out the frozen herring you caught last time. ā
"Come on, come on, everyone help to put on the bait and adjust the line to a depth of 100 meters. ā
In this era, the bait used in longline fishing was frozen fish as bait, unlike the more scientific bait used in later generations - bait bait (chemical bait). The brilliance of the bait is its unique chemical smell that attracts tuna.
Longline fishing is usually released early in the morning and started at noon or in the middle of the night. This is completely undesirable for Shuichi Minamino. Others do this because they are waiting. You don't need to do this yourself, the fish are here, and you can catch them when you put them down anyway!
"The dry rope is put down, you can throw the bait down!"
"Got it, the movements are sharp. Shuichi Minamino commanded the audience, while also switching his vision to the water to monitor the fish.
In this era, there is no electric pay-off machine and wire starting machine, and it is necessary to rely on manpower to do this. The fishing boat drove ahead, and the speed was about 8 or 9 knots. A group of sailors were speeding on the bait, and several sailors were throwing the hooks of the bait into the water.
As a hook of bait is thrown into the sea, it quickly attracts the attention of yellowfin tuna and grabs it. Originally, the upper sea fish here were eaten by them. Now that they see new "food" appearing, of course they will start to grab it.
It's only after they bite the hook that they know it's a trap! Deadly trap!
"I'll bet ten minutes before a fish bites!" said one of the sailors, tossing the bait in his hand as he bet to the other.
"I'll bet five minutes!" the sailor continued with a grin, "bet on what!"
"I'll do your laundry if you lose, how about it!"
"Okay, if I lose, I'll wash your clothes for a week!"
"Good!"
"Haha, there's a tuna bite, it seems like it's just over four minutes and less than five minutes, you lose, remember to wash my clothes. ā
"So ......soon," said the sailor who had made the offer, his face dejected.
"Is there a fish on the hook?" Minamino showed all the visuals.
"Yes boss, it seems that there is more than one, it seems that there are seven or eight tuna biting hooks. Tanimura Ueno said excitedly.
"Okay, hang it up, hurry up. We're racing against time, and this time it's really time is money. "Minamino Shuichi.
Soon, a few Popeye began to shake the starting machine vigorously, and the starting machine in this era relied on manual rewinding, which was a hard work.
"Whoa, whoa!"
A yellowfin tuna, which is about 2.5 meters long, came into view.
"Drag it up. ā
With the first yellowfin tuna being dragged up, then the second, third, and fourth......
