Chapter 207: Fish Gather in Groups
Now staying on his own bridge is to start busy arranging routes for the asterisk, looking for swordfish is actually a very troublesome thing, although compared with tuna, swordfish is a good comrade with a regular sea, but there are too many unencounterable in nature.
Although everyone says that swordfish like to stay at the intersection of cold and warm ocean currents, that is to say, the place where the warm currents from the continent and the cold currents from the ocean meet, because of the intersection of cold and warm ocean currents, the microorganisms on the seabed are brought in, so that the fish that feed on these microorganisms are attracted to follow the predatory fish such as swordfish and tuna, including sharks.
The area where the warm and cold currents meet is like a canteen for the fish, and everyone comes here to feast on it, but of course there is no safety in this canteen. The small fish are worried about the mixed fish, thinking that they are not the unlucky ones who were eaten, and the big fish are also troubled, thinking that they will not be caught by humans and exchanged for dollars. Anyway, whether it is fish or people who stay in this sea at this time, they are not very peaceful.
The general knowledge that everyone knows does not guarantee that you will be able to catch a fish, because swordfish will also appear on the cold water side of the shark in general, and it is difficult to accurately locate the fish in addition to these factors, and the main value of a swordfish captain is reflected in two words: find fish!
Captain Sailfish generally has a better life than Captain Tuna, because Captain Sailfish only has two things, driving the boat and looking for fish, and he will not work in person like ordinary Captain Tuna, except for Captain Tuna like Bei Hai. Now Bei Hai has even given up the boat to the first mate, and all that is left in his hands is to look for fish.
With the help of technological currents, these come to find a school of swordfish. Bei Hai's success rate is not too high, and it is considered an upper-average level among a group of swordfish captains. But Bei Hai's theories are very rich, and when it comes to the habits of swordfish and how to find fish, there are all sets. If there is no ball, a few Bei Hai are typical nerds, only understand the principle and make things dumbfounded, typical eyes are high.
Bei Hai is now so attentive to the study of the nautical charts because he wants to use the information obtained by the equipment on the ship and the information of the fishing group transmitted by the ball to him.
As for the earth dog and the fritters, they are now doing the work of real 'sea hounds', oh! According to the current situation, it is more appropriate to call it a sea hound instead of a sea hound. The fritters can actually hide in the school of tuna by relying on their good looks, guiding the direction of the fish's actions.
Bei Hai didn't understand how the fritters got mixed into the position of the 'head fish', anyway, this thing was like a typical wolf mixed in the flock, but all the tuna didn't find that the 'leading brother' of this group of fish didn't just eat meat. And I especially like these varieties of myself.
These tuna carried by the fritters are tuna released in the space of Bei Hai, there are bluefin and big-eyed tuna, of course, there are also yellowfin tuna, when they are released, there are more than 30 large and small, all of which are prepared to be caught by Bei Hai this time, the quality of the fish outside is not very good, and the price is not too high, Bei Hai is a little unsightly.
The largest number of bluefins in the whole group of fish is six or seven hundred pounds, and the yellowfin tuna is almost more than five hundred pounds, and the smallest big-eyed is about four hundred pounds.
Bei Hai looked up. He turned on the underwater radar and found that there was a large school of fish walking under his boat nearby, and there were at least hundreds of big fish in that scene, and each one of them was not less, just the pulse image reflected on the Beihai radar. There are nearly dozens of long colored lines that are longer than a finger.
Seeing this situation, Bei Hai immediately put down the marker pen in his hand, pressed the radio and shouted to Matt and Qi Yiming under the cabin: "There are big fish under our boat!" βγ
Less than a minute after Bei Hai's words fell, Qi Yiming and Matt jumped up.
"Where. Where! Qi Yiming's young hands and feet were a little sharper, and he was the first to get into the bridge and asked Bei Hai repeatedly.
"Look here!" Bei Hai stretched out his finger and pointed to the camera he had just turned on.
The first image from the camera made Bei Hai break out in a cold sweat. A large mouth appears on the screen trying to swallow the camera, but fortunately there is a protective metal cover on the outside of the camera. The strength of a fish is still resistant.
The screen clearly shows the sewer-like throat and the camera gradually being spit out, and when the whole shot is revealed, a large tuna jumps directly onto the screen. Matt knew how big the head was, and could hold a bluefin tuna with its mouth open at least 1,200 pounds, according to Matt's estimates.
βholycrap!β Matt's eyes widened when he saw the fish, and he sighed, "That's why we came to Granbank."
After the big fish shook over, another big fish came out of the screen, and compared to the first one, the second one was more than a thousand pounds, and it was still the same when the third one appeared on the screen. The fourth one is a little smaller, and his body looks like he is 700 pounds.
Qi Yiming also looked at the image coming from under the water with his eyes open, and kept saying in his mouth: "It's worth it, it's worth it!" βγ
Not to mention Qi Yiming, it is the old Matt who has caught so many fish, and it is the first time to see such a 'magnificent' scene, the whole lens shows one bluefin tuna after another swimming in front of the camera, and now I don't see the head or tail, or one after another, each of which seems to be more than 500 pounds.
Qi Yiming and Matt were directly stupid, and it is estimated that the two of them kept calculating how much these fish would be worth after they got them.
Bei Hai was a little stunned when he saw the fourth fish, because the fourth fish was released from space by Bei Hai. What's going on!
Bei Hai was stunned for a moment, naturally from the perspective of the two goods of fritters and earth dogs, this does not know that I was startled when I saw it, this super fish school was released from the space last night, and now the earth dog is watching from one side, chasing the sharks that may come, and the fritters are walking calmly in front of the fish, the speed of the whole fish is not very fast, but a group of tuna together, and they are all so big that it is like an African elephant herd in the water. Everywhere you go, you have to bite two bites on coral reefs.
Soon Bei Hai came up with the previous image from the earth dog's mind, and from time to time Bei Hai found that he had inadvertently made a 'magnet'! This magnet is not an iron absorber. It's the one that sucks the fish! It's still a big tuna. The fritters first took the space tuna and met another group of tuna in the sea, and then the two schools mixed together. It didn't take half an hour for the fritters to get mixed up with the position of the leading fish, and then the two groups of fish became a group, so five or six times, and now it has become such a scale, Bei Hai estimates that there are more than 2,000 tuna of all kinds, large and small, and such a group of big fish is swimming recklessly in this sea area, and then eating what can be eaten.
Tuna is really bold underwater, and it's a bit of a rack of what to eat, not only fish but also shellfish, and even lobster and crab are on the menu of this group of pot-bellied men.
It's in this effort. An alarm was heard on the ship's receiver.
Matt immediately shouted, "The third group, there's a fish bite!" That's great! Let's hope it's the big fish! βγ
"It has to be that! I think this guy weighs at least 1,300 pounds! Qi Yiming also shouted loudly, now the two of them looked at the Ning Shen Bei Hai with a surprised look, their own captain was too interested to find a big fish at once, and it was in this vast Atlantic Ocean.
Bei Hai knows much more than Qi Yiming and Matt! Bei Hai found from the sight of the earth dog that the whole school of fish was like a strange snake surging in the sea, and the body slid over the fishing tackle laid by himself, and then suddenly the fish were divided into two, and the fish hooked by the fishing tackle dragged the hook around like a headless fly, and for the whole school of fish, it was only a little commotion. Then the fish ignored the few unlucky eggs who had bitten the hook, and went around and continued to swim forward.
Seeing that the fishery bypassed the fishing gear, Bei Hai of course also saw a few unlucky eggs biting the hook, and this time there were a total of five fishing gears. The middle one still came out of his own space, and the round body was recognized by Bei Hai at a glance, as for the other four, two of them were big ones. Each one seemed to be over 900 pounds, much larger than the one in his own space. The remaining two are a big eye and a small yellow fin, both of which are not bad!
Fritters lead the way. The whole school of fish slid past the third group of fishing gear, and naturally turned in the direction of the second group, and the fritters did not have so many twists and turns. If Bei Hai draws the line of three groups of fishing gear on the chart, he will find that the whole school of fish is a standard demonstration of a mathematical problem: the shortest straight line between two points! It passed in a flash.
In the first fishing season of the Arrow, the first fishing gear was deployed, and it was less than an hour before it was arranged, and the alarms came from the three groups of fishing gear one after another. The smiles on Matt and Qi Yiming's faces almost stiffened their muscles!
Bei Hai naturally didn't just giggle like his two crew members, looking at the signals from the three buzzers and said a little critically: "The only deficiency is that the three groups of fishing gear are moving in three directions!" It's a bit of a gas drain! βγ
Hearing Bei Hai's words, Matt and Qi Yiming immediately smiled and looked at each other speechless.
After a while, Matt said: "I said boss, you are also asking too high, if it is a little higher, it is better to let the fish directly into our boat, and then take care of yourself and slide into the cabin yourself!" βγ Matt couldn't help but joke happily.
Qi Yiming said at this time: "Which group shall we chase first?" βγ
"This group!" Bei Hai pointed to a group of fishing gear downstream and said, the location of the arrow is at the northernmost point of the fishing ground, and there is basically no boat operation on it, so it is better to go down first for insurance. Moreover, the fish on this group of fishing gear are the most valuable, with three spatial blue fins.
With that, Bei Hai started the engine, got to the arrow, and chased in the direction of the second set of fishing gear. After chasing the signal for almost an hour, Bei Hai saw that the buoy in the shape of a 'sun' on the sea surface had completely floated to the water.
After the arrow approached, Matt and Qi Yiming began to test the fishing line on the fishing gear, and when they tried the second one, Matt said with satisfaction that there was a fish, and then led the line to the reel on the hull, which untied the fishing line knot on the buoy, and began to roll the reel.
Now it was much easier for Matera to get up, and the fish didn't have much strength to struggle, and even Bei Hai didn't use a harpoon, and he put a rope on his tail and used a hinge to get on the boat.
There were four fish in the second group, three of which were about 700 pounds, and one of the larger ones was 1,000 pounds. Matt sorted out the fish guts here, Qi Yiming began to rearrange the fishing gear, and Bei Hai drove the boat to use GPS to locate the first set of fishing gear.
"We can go to make a new movie, "The Money Robber," Matt waited for the first group of fishing gear to be dragged onto the boat, and then looked at the seven tuna piled up on the deck of the boat, and said happily, seven fish, three big eyes, two yellow fins, and two 500-pound blue fins, which made Matt cry out happily.
However, Bei Hai made a decision for the first group, the worst group, the blue fins are all wild yellow fins and big eyes are not very valuable, much worse than the second group. (To be continued......)
