(Thanks to the readers of 'Five Poisons Scholar Ying Zhenglun' and the readers of 'Sui Naiguo Life Push' for the 500 starting coins reward!)

"It seems that there are not so many fish going south from the Nemuro Peninsula, and there will be more fish if you go north. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" thought to Shuichi Minamino. If you go north, you will go to the Soya Strait, which is the area where the Kuril Islands and the Soya Strait meet, and there are definitely many fish in this area! There's a lot of plankton here, so there's definitely a lot of fish.

"Forget it, let's go north. "Shuichi Minamino made up his mind.

After making up his mind, Shuichi Minamino came to the cab and said to the old man Kimura: "Kimura, turn around, let's go north and head to the direction of the South Okhotsk Sea!"

"Minamino-kun, do we turn around now?" Kimura was a little puzzled after listening to Nanno Shuichi's words. After all, it's been two days since I went south, and going north again is a waste of fuel and time!

"Yes, I have to say that I made a mistake this time and shouldn't have gone south. Shuichi Minamino smiled bitterly. Actually, I don't blame him, I just blame him for being too casual and unlucky. Shuichi Minamino has this golden finger and can catch fish in a position. Faced with such an embarrassing situation, he decided to hire an experienced old fisherman as a guide when he returned. This way, you'll know where the fish are most populous, so you don't have to wander around.

Fishing in the ocean requires experience and skill!

In general, marine fishing is based on the conditions of the sea, the migration season of the fish, and so on.

"Okay, the boss has the final say. "The old man Kimura has no reason to object, who calls Shuichi Minamino the boss.

All the crew members were a little puzzled by the fishing boat's sudden U-turn to the north, but no one objected. Four or five days later, the fishing boat was almost at its destination.

At this time, Shuichi Minamino did not know that there was also a large fishing team heading north, and this fishing team was not anyone, it was the large fishing team temporarily formed by Matsumoto Kintaro! This fishing team was not only Matsumoto fishing team, but also several other fishing teams joined the alliance.

They have a total of 20 fishing boats! However, this fishing team left the port a few days later than Shuichi Minamino, so it is currently behind the itinerary of the Kimitsuki fishing boat.

The flagship fishing vessel of the Matsumoto fishing team, this fishing boat has a tonnage of 300. On the deck, Matsumoto Ryo said to Matsumoto Kintaro: "Dad, there are really not as many fish in summer as there are in autumn!"

"Of course, of course! And the fish in the summer are not as fat as in the fall. Autumn is the time when most of the migratory fish spawn, so it was really easy to catch fish at that time, and the entire Hokkaido fishing grounds were full of fish. Kintaro Matsumoto sighed. At present, Hokkaido's fishing grounds have not been overfished in the 50s, so there are still a lot of fish. Besides, distant-water fishing is just getting started! There is no overfishing. It will be ten or twenty years before it appears.

"For example, I caught a lot of migratory salmon in the Soya Strait last fall! ”

"Every autumn (September ~ October), salmon travel south in schools from the North Pacific, cross the Sea of Okhotsk, bypass Cape Crelion on Sakhalin Island, and then shuttle through the Soya Strait. Finally, they go up the Hei Longjiang River in China, and finally arrive at the East Pole spawning place, they travel day and night, tirelessly, and do not eat at all in the process of migration, anyway, they are burying their heads and rushing forward! As long as you have rich experience, it will be easy to catch fish at that time. Kintaro Matsumoto talked eloquently, looking like an old driver.

"I see, Dad, what you mean is that there are only two places where these salmon migrate from the North Pacific Ocean to the Chinese Hei Longjiang River, the first is to cross the Sea of Okhotsk, shuttle from the Soya Strait to the island sea, and then go to the Longjiang River. The other is to continue southward through the Tsugaru Strait on the south coast of Hokkaido. Overall, however, most of the fish are estimated to have passed through the Soya Strait. So casting a net in the Soya Strait to catch those salmon is the ideal area!" said Matsumoto with an excited face.

"Yes, I got cramps last year! There are so many salmon that are migrating! I guess there are tens of millions!" Kintaro Matsumoto looks like he reminisces.

"You must know that the Soya Strait is about 42 kilometers wide at its narrowest point from north to south, and it is a matter of luck to encounter a school of salmon in this strait more than 40 kilometers wide, after all, we can't scatter the whole strait! But because there are so many of them, we were very lucky to encounter several waves of migratory fish! That time the freezers of our three fishing boats were full of salmon!" said Kintaro Matsumoto.

That's the experience, that's the way to fish.

Migration is commonly said to be the migration of fish, of course, migration is said by people who do not know how to do it, and the real name is called migration.

"Dad, you're amazing!" Matsumoto smiled and patted his ass.

"I'm telling you this, so you can listen to me and learn more about fishing!" Kintaro Matsumoto said with a serious face. It is important to know that in the fifties, distant-water fishing vessels did not widely use sonar radar to detect fish. Therefore, many of them rely on the experience of old fishermen to track and find fish. So experience is important in this day and age!

"Got it, Dad. Matsumoto Ryo agreed with a rare humility and earnestness.

"By the way, Dad, how do you know so much?" said Matsumoto Yoshiki.

"That's the experience, I think I've been fishing for 30 years in Kintaro Matsumoto, and I've traveled the entire sea around Hokkaido. I know exactly what kind of fish they have, what habits they have, where they are used to appearing, what season they go north, what season they migrate, what season they spawn, and how they catch them. These are all accumulated with time and sweat. Son, that's why I want you to study hard and follow me to fish. I'm already old, and I'll not be able to walk in another seven or eight years! Kintaro Matsumoto sighed, patted Matsumoto on the shoulder, and walked to his resting room.

Looking at Matsumoto Kintaro's already somewhat rickety back, Matsumoto Ryo's eyes were a little moist.

However, this Matsumoto Ryo, who did not learn and did not know how to do it, threw that little bit of emotion and struggle into the sea in two days. If Kintaro Matsumoto knew, he wouldn't be.

It was the end of June, and a few days later, it was already early July.

At this time, the fishing boat had reached the sea between the Soya Strait and the Kuril Islands.
