Chapter 22: Fishing at Sea (Part II)
"The frosted citrus sugar crab is new and beautiful, and the drunken feeling of life is wrong," the taste of the crab can be felt from the popular poems of the ancients.
As soon as the red and bright crab shell is peeled off, the plump crab roe and crab paste exude a pungent fragrance. At this time, it is the most suitable season of the year to eat crabs, and the crabs they caught are full of fat and meat.
After picking a bite of crab roe with chopsticks and putting it in the mouth, the creamy taste and unparalleled fresh fragrance make people can't help but close their eyes and taste this rare delicacy, and then add a sip of rice wine after swallowing it into the throat, the trace of fishy smell in the mouth disappears, and a full and mellow feeling immediately fills people's mouths and taste buds, giving people a sense of happiness and satisfaction.
After a pleasant and memorable lunch, everyone was lazy and half-lying at the table, chatting with each other, it would be the time of the day when the sun was at its highest, and everyone had no intention of doing anything else but hoping for a good rest.
Lao Wang and Zhang Bo even said that they didn't plan to continue fighting in the afternoon, they were already tired and had a sore back and arms, and later they were fooled by Qian Gang to pull the shark to get over it. It makes you feel like your hands are not your own, and you are shaking with chopsticks while eating.
Qian Gang and Li Zhen were fine, but they were a little depressed by the sun, and they also wanted to take a good nap.
The remaining Yang Zi and Xiao Bing are full of energy, one of them only did some chores and did not consume much energy, and he was used to this kind of life.
Again, I was still immersed in the excitement brought by the shark in the morning, and I didn't want to be excited.
After waiting for Qian Gang and the others to get under the cabin, they discussed it a little, and decided to take advantage of the weather and fish conditions to drive the boat to search around to see if there were any fish suitable for trolling, so that Yang Zi would not have any regrets on this trip.
If you want to troll, the two of them have to do a lot of preparation before they start. First of all, the fishing line and fishing rig in Yang Zi's reel must be replaced, and the existing string set is not strong enough and long, and it is difficult to withstand the toss of those large sailfish and tuna.
In fact, the real trolling reel and line set are completely insignificant compared to his fishing rig, and the fish wheel that can fit thousands of meters of oversized fishing line is more than twice as large as Yang Zi's. Not to mention those bluffing strands and hooks, it's another level of equipment entirely.
The shark was successfully caught in the morning because of luck, and of course, Xiao Bing's superb driving skills were also indispensable.
In addition to the line group, another thing is to install the Boyu seat equipped with the yacht, which is a bit bulky and takes up space for fighting big fish, so although this comfortable yacht is equipped with this device, it is put away separately in the cargo hold.
Xiao Bing lifted the aft deck to reveal a fixture, and then set up the fishing chairs that had been brought out. Yang Zi looked at this novelty that he had never seen before with interest, and then sat on it to experience it himself.
The main function of this fishing chair is to protect the angler from being dragged into the sea by the huge pulling force in the water during the trolling process, causing danger, the seat of the seat can move back and forth, once the fish is in the middle of the fish, people can use their feet to step on the front of the foot support to pull the fishing rod backwards, while saving arm strength, it can also better exert the strength of the whole body.
As for some other matching rod frames, belts, hooks and poles, the author will not introduce them here, and you can search for them in Baidu if you like them.
It took the two of them more than half an hour to finally prepare their things, and then Xiao Bing started a yacht around the current and began to search for fish.
The probability of finding the target fish in the sea is still very low, and even some old fishermen often need to spend days to find the clue.
The reason why Xiao Bing was willing to take Yang Zi to search here was mainly because he had found some clues here yesterday.
It is unusual for the large number of seabirds in the vicinity to be concentrated in this area, as there are no reefs or islands for them to nest. The only thing that attracts them to gather is food, and it has to be a large number of fish suitable for them to hunt.
The predatory fish, which usually like to swim near these schools, became Xiao Bing's target, and he controlled the rudder with both hands, and his eyes scanned the surrounding sea with sharp eyes, so that he could immediately detect the situation as soon as a large school of carnivorous fish appeared.
The reason why Yang Zi is so fascinated by this method of trolling is mainly related to the size of the fish that is the target of this fishing method.
At present, the heaviest recorded sailfish in the world is more than 1,100 kilograms, which is more than a ton. And the largest record for tuna is not much lighter, up to more than 800 kilograms.
What is this concept? If they encounter a behemoth of this size, if the fishing rig can hold on to the line, the yacht will be dragged by the other party, and it will be really difficult to say who is fishing whom.
The two of them searched the nearby seabirds in a boat in detail, and finally found some clues in the middle of a current.
Some of the small migrating fish there are always in a panic, jumping out of the sea from time to time as if they are hiding from some predator.
Unfortunately, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and although many small fish have escaped from the hunters in the water, they are seized by the seabirds that have been staring at them for a long time, and they will be taken to the sky with a swoop.
When Xiao Bing saw this situation, he slowly lowered the speed of the boat, cruising around to observe the situation on the sea.
Not long after, a fin suddenly rose from the surface of the sea not far away, and it cut through the water and chased back and forth nearby. From time to time, chopstick-length sea fish jumped out of the water in front of it, and the water surface was very lively for a while.
Seeing this situation, Brother Bing hurriedly began to beckon Yang Zi to put the bus bar on the pole, and then picked up the fake bait and threw it into the water, and then turned on the pay-off switch of the reel, and he himself started the yacht and began to circle around the nearby water surface.
The fishing rig that fell into the water quickly pulled out a fishing line of about 40 meters under the resistance of the seawater, and then Yang Zi locked the pay-off switch, and adjusted the brake to about 18 kilograms, and then stood aside to observe the situation behind the yacht.
I saw that the bait not far away was dragged in the water and glided quickly, sinking into the water from time to time, and then being taken out of the water again. From a distance, it looks like a dragonfly tapping water, but the frequency has increased a lot.
Time passed slowly, seeing that the bait had been dragging in the water for more than ten minutes, but there was still no movement around, Yang Zi, who was a little puzzled, finally ran to the cockpit and asked about Xiao Bing's situation.
The other party smiled when he saw Yang Zi's anxious appearance, and asked him to wait patiently for a while below. Because if you want to troll, you have to see where the fish are in the water, and then you have to see how active they are.
Because the main reason why these fish chase fake bait is for fun and fighting nature, if they are in a bad mood and don't bother to pay attention to you, you can't take them.
However, such a sunny sky fish obviously did not lose their temper, and when Yang Zi was about to ask about the fish, there was a stinging sound from the stern of the boat. Realizing that this was the braking sound of the reel after hitting the fish, he immediately rushed towards the stern of the boat, for fear that he would miss this rare opportunity to catch fish because of his own negligence.
When Yang Zi arrived at the stern of the boat, according to the color, he found that in such a short time, the fish actually pulled out a fishing line more than 100 meters long, and the reel still did not stop the rhythm.
Yang Zi, who had experience in fighting with such big fish, hurriedly sat on the fishing chair and fastened his seat belt, then pulled out the fishing rod from the rod base with both hands, tightened the fishing line, and pulled it violently. The big fish seemed to be even more crazy because of his stimulation, and the speed of qualifying began to speed up again.
After stopping the boat, Xiao Bing hurriedly came over with a water bottle to cool down the fishing rod, and asked Yang Zi about the size of the fish in the water.
After feeling it carefully, Yang Zi estimated that the fish should be about fifty or sixty catties, which was not as exaggerated as the shark in the morning.
Brother Bing didn't rush to start the boat and follow the fish after hearing about the size of the fish, if the fish of this size is well controlled, it can be caught without moving the boat. Of course, the most important thing is that there are not enough people now, and Qian Gang and their cats are taking a nap in the cabin.
Although the size of this fish is not very large, its strength is not small at all, and Yang Zi and the two of them tossed it a lot before slowly closing the distance a little.
And as it gets closer to the yacht, the fish starts to get more irritable. As Yang Zi pulled the rod hard, it was stabbed and struggled violently.
Since it was already very close to the water, the fish flicked its tail violently and flew directly out of the sea. Fifty or sixty meters away, he jumped more than a meter high, and then fell into the water with his head and tail.
Xiao Bing also recognized its species at the moment when the other party stayed in the air, this is a more common sailfish in trolling, and it is not particularly large.
What followed was a tug-of-war, and for some reason, every time the sailfish approached the yacht about ten meters away, a strange force would erupt, and the fishing line dozens of meters long would be pulled away in an instant.
After repeating this five or six times, Yang Zi couldn't help but complain a little, what the hell is this? Why is it more difficult to serve than that shark.
Xiao Bing laughed and explained to him after seeing this, it turned out that this kind of fish needs to be quickly pulled to the side of the boat by relying on the sturdy equipment in the general trolling process, and then use the hook to hook the fins and pull them to the deck before the fish can react.
If you wait until the other party is angry and then try to catch them with a violent nature, it will be a lot of trouble, because their physical reserves are very amazing, and their recovery ability is also very strong, once they are in a stalemate with this fish, it is destined to be a protracted battle.
Yang Zi could only roll his eyes helplessly after hearing this, isn't his line group not strong enough to use brute force too much, otherwise it would not be a matter of minutes to pull such a small fish with his own physical strength.
Fortunately, this process of fishing is also very fun, and he swam back and forth with this swordfish for more than ten rounds and finally turned the opponent upside down.
Seeing that Xiao Bing was holding a sharp hook and was about to stab the fish, Yang Zi stopped his movements after thinking about it.
He stood up from the fishing chair and handed the rod to the other party, then took the multi-purpose pliers to the tired and motionless swordfish's mouth, and carefully removed the huge hook.
Feeling the foreign object in its mouth suddenly disappear, the fish struggled slightly, and then it realized that the rope that had been binding it just now would be gone. The sailfish under the great joy did not care about the exhaustion of the whole body, and tried their best to stay away from Yang Zi and their sea area.
After getting familiar with Yang Zi's temperament in the past few days, Xiao Bing was not surprised to see that the other party released the fish in his hand, but expressed his appreciation for his approach.
After all, due to human indiscriminate fishing, the current marine resources have become much poorer. Maybe his attitude alone can't change anything, but a spark can also start a prairie fire.
After the two of them packed up their things a little, they looked at the time and found that they had been tossing for more than an hour for this swordfish. Qian Gang and Li Zhen had already finished their afternoon naps, and they looked at the two people who were cleaning up the mess on the deck and kept asking about what happened just now.
Knowing that he had missed the opportunity to take a photo with a sailfish because he was sleeping, Qian Gang let out a sad sigh and hurriedly asked Xiao Bing to continue to take him to troll nearby.
Seeing that Qian Gang was so interested, Brother Bing didn't say much, but just told him some safety matters and fishing procedures and started a new round of trolling.
Yang Zi was already addicted to fish just now, and when he saw that Qian Gang actually wanted to try it, he hurriedly moved a chair from the deck and sat aside, intending to supervise the other party to prevent accidents.
This time, they swam around for almost half an hour before they caught the fish again, Yang Zi looked at the fish's key line on the side and found that the fish was not as big as his own, and he was relieved to give them a hand on the side, letting Qian Gang and Li Zhen shout happily.
When the two of them were tired and half dead, they finally dragged the more than forty catties of sailfish onto the boat, and the time spent was no less than Yang Zi's, and it was already more than half past five in the afternoon after everyone cleaned up everything.
Seeing that the time was not very early, Qian Gang, who was a little tired, sat on the deck while resting and chatting, Yang Zi and Xiao Bing prepared the materials for dinner, and then sat at the stern with a trumpet fishing rod to continue to enrich his collection book.
As the sky gradually darkened, Xiao Bing called Lao Wang, who had slept in the cabin for an afternoon, to the deck to start today's dinner.
It was still the delicious crab and sea fish, and Yang Zi also made a plate of fish fillets from a sea bass he caught behind, which made everyone feast again.
After dinner, everyone chatted for a while, and then went to sleep in a daze. Yang Zi lay on the deck and looked at the stars in the sky above his head, and suddenly missed Qiaoqiaolai in Hunan.
The other party's voice and smile flashed in his mind from time to time, making a happy smile appear on the corner of his mouth. If you go back this time, you can finish the driver's license test, and when the time comes, after participating in the finals in Zhejiang, he will drive an RV and take Qiaoqiao to enjoy the scenery of all parts of the country.
