Chapter 139: Bird Affair
The weather at sea this season is really difficult to say, I still looked at the sun when I left the port, but the time came to noon and the sky pulled down the face, and when the Ripple found a good anchor point, a drizzle began to fall in the sky, and there were some Xiaoice slags in the rain.
Although the weather was not good, it did not affect the good atmosphere on the Ripple, and it was not three hours from the stop to the end of the rod, and there were two large fish of about 700 pounds on the deck, and they were still very fat, and the price was estimated to be at least 20,000 yuan.
The headlights on the top of the boat have been turned on, shining on the deck, Qi Yiming, who is wearing a black leather water, is processing the catch that has been newly dragged onto the boat. Look at the current dress, there is a baseball cap stuck on the head and a bluefin tuna embroidered, there is not even a small bench under the buttocks, squatting directly on the deck, one uses the fish belly to pull open, and the other hand grabs the fish intestines and the like and pulls it out. There are still dots of fish blood on his face and body, and that's why he still has a smile on his face and a cheerful whistle.
Bei Hai was watching the work of the crew on the deck at the cockpit door, writhing and dancing while watching. Matt sat next to the bait box, humming a fishing song in a low voice, and throwing the bait into the sea.
The three people on the entire Ripple were very happy, Matt and Qi Yiming needless to say, Bei Hai also danced a little dance because he found a great fishing spot. The fish under the boat are very good, although there are no big fish in the middle of a thousand pounds, but the overall standard is very good. I almost saw four or five hundred pounds of small fish, although the weight was almost a little bit, but just looking at the round waist like this bucket knew the quality of this fish.
The ball is now sticking out his head to Qi Yiming's side, looking at the fish offal that came out, the ball is only interested in the fish liver and fish heart, and he doesn't look at the intestines and the like, just waiting for Qi Yiming to send something delicious to his mouth
"Captain, how do you arrange the night guard?" Matt said as he looked at Bei Hai.
I can't sleep like I used to. I don't want to give up on such a good fish, and now the fishing season is almost over. No matter what, I have to rush to earn these last few dollars.
"You go to bed first, but if a fish catches the bait, I'm going to wake you up," Bei Hai said.
"Okay!" Matt and Qi Yiming said in unison.
With such an arrangement, wait for the two of them to get out of the cabin to rest. Bei Hai sat next to the bait box alone, braved the light rain and continued to cast bait.
Matt and Qi Yiming didn't sleep as well as they used to that night, and they were shouted twice by Bei Hai, for a very simple reason: a fish bit the hook.
"Ah~ha!" Qi Yiming yawned, raised his hand to fork two pieces of bait, and casually threw them into the sea. It was already dark on the sea, and even though there was no sun on a rainy day, I could only see a vague shadow of a fishing boat in the distance.
Today's wind and waves are a little bigger than the sky, and the ripple shake is naturally more advantageous. But now this kind of shaking is nothing to Qi Yiming. Even his yawning didn't matter.
"Thank you!" Qi Yiming watched Matt hand a cup of coffee in front of him, and after taking it and saying thank you, he took a sip.
The coffee was hot, but at this time of year and at sea, it was such a small bite. I felt a warm current sliding down my esophagus into my stomach, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Two more will return to Hong Kong," Qi Yiming said.
Matt looked at Qi Yiming with his iron cup and said, "What's wrong?" Tired? ”。
"Why haven't I slept well all day! But there's just this, resist the past! After speaking, Qi Yiming raised the stainless steel cup in his hand to Matt.
Matt listened to it twice and said: "Last night's situation is the normal life of a fisherman going to sea, sleeping four or five hours a day at sea is a very luxurious thing, being able to sleep for four or five hours in a row without being interrupted, such a situation is enough for one hand in a fishing season!" ”。
Listen to Matt. Qi Yiming was happy to himself. Now Qi Yiming didn't understand anything when he first came, and Comrade Qi still made a few friends in Gegerst. For the fisherman's raw sea, it can now be said that the door is clear. I don't get annoyed when I hear Matt's words like this, which seem to be teaching me a lesson.
Because Qi Yiming knew that although there was an element of training himself in his speech, the most important thing was that the old man was reminiscing about the bittersweet memories in his heart, and sighed about the current little days. There are very few old people who are not good at this.
"Now there are more and more birds" Qi Yiming turned his head and found that on the sea near the Ripple, more than two dozen seabirds floated on the sea, and their bodies rose and fell with the waves.
"Not good! These guys are eating our bait! Matt heard Qi Yiming say this, observed a few glances and said.
"No, they are still a little far away from us, even if they fall into the bait, it will be five or six meters underwater" Qi Yiming stretched out his head and looked at the bait he had just dropped. These seabirds leaned into the surroundings of the boat, but they were not too close to Qi Yiming's bait point, and Qi Yiming didn't care much, and now that he heard Matt say this, he naturally wanted to check it.
Matt didn't think about it and said: "Today's wind and waves are a little stronger, the bait will not sink to the bottom so quickly when it goes down, it will be carried by the waves for a while, and the sea water under our boat is still a little ...... up."
As an old fisherman, Matt took a look at it and understood the general situation, the bait thrown by Qi Yiming did not sink directly to the bottom of the sea, let alone form any bait chain. Because of today's wind direction or weather and ocean currents, most of the cast bait is swept to the side where seabirds gather.
Qi Yiming stretched out his head and looked at it for a while before he understood, to put it bluntly, a big reason is that the bait on his side is too small, they are all bait fish of about the same size, and other tuna boats are cut in half or thrown down directly. The corrugated is divided into three pieces, and the bait that is divided into three fast is naturally much lighter, and the density of the sea is also large, and it is completely normal for this situation to occur.
"With a bait?" Qi Yiming immediately thought of a solution.
"That's all there is to it!" Ma nodded and then said, "Put the rope a little longer." Put it in five meters! ”。
Qi Yiming heard it and immediately said, "Well, I know."
After speaking, he was about to turn around and almost stepped on the front fin of the ball, and he didn't know when this thing came over, so he stuck his head out of the side of the boat and looked down at the water like Matt and Qi Yiming.
"Go somewhere else and don't you see we're busy?" Qi Yiming pushed the ball and said.
The ball let out an "oh woo" sound in his mouth, moved his fat body and continued to pretend to look at it.
For Matt and Qi Yiming, the current leather ball is like a pet on a boat. Although this thing is a little bigger and has caught up with the weight of an adult, it is fortunate that it does not have a large appetite. And they won't secretly take a bite of the fish, of course, the most important thing is that the ball is so cute that the two can't bear to drive it away.
Besides, with the ball on the boat, it's fun when you're bored, right? 、
Qi Yiming found a bait. Forked about a dozen pieces of fish meat into the jar of the feeder, and then put the feeder into the seawater with a flat mouth, and waited for the rope in his hand to come to an end, then suddenly lifted it in case, and then his arm went down, and waited for five or six seconds before he quickly lifted the feeder up.
Matt stretched out his head to see that there was not a single piece of bait left in the bait tank, and couldn't help but give Qi Yiming a thumbs up and praise: "The technique is great!" ”。
Qi Yiming, who was praised, just smiled and continued to cast bait with a baiter.
Soon, however, the two of them couldn't laugh again, as there was more and more fishing around the Ripple. And it's getting closer. It's not a matter of a few dozens, but hundreds!
The birds were chirping on the surface of the sea, and some of the seabirds were circling and preparing to fall. The front is still five or six meters away from the hull of the Corrugation. Now the density of these seabirds is less than two meters from the side of the ship, and some of the birds are within reach of Matt and Qi Yiming.
"Fuck off! You thieves! Matt held out his arm and waved.
This action frightened the scattered two or three birds, these two or three opened their wings and flapped a few times, and after calling twice, they immediately plunged into the sea again, and when they waited to come up, one of them had a piece of bait that Qi Yiming had just cast in its mouth. As if provocatively in front of Matt. Swallow it.
Matt's face was not annoyed at this time, but he frowned and muttered, "These birds can dive so deep!" ”。
In Matt's thoughts, these birds usually see food two or three meters up to the sky. It won't be too deep to go down to the sea to fish, and if it's deeper, they won't generally fight this idea when they see it, and now they let Qi Yiming put it more than five meters, and these birds can still drill down to eat, don't these birds want to eat for a bite today?
Matt couldn't figure it out a little, but if he didn't understand it, he couldn't figure it out, since this thing had happened, he had to find a way to solve it, if the bait wasn't fed to the birds, what kind of fish would he catch! Besides, Matt is a fisherman, and he is not a professor who is engaged in science, so he has to think about everything clearly.
Now Matt understands only one thing, if the bird eats the bait, the fish can't eat it, if the fish can't eat it, the fish won't be hooked, and if the fish can't catch it, there will be no money, it's as simple as that!
Matt quickly brought out a basin and knocked on the bottom of the basin, which was quite useful at first, but after two knocks the seabirds got used to it, it didn't work at all.
To say that Lao Mei is sometimes too well protected here, these seabirds are not afraid of people at all, and the lazy appearance of five people and six people makes Matt hate it in his heart now.
Hate to hate, this bird will be driven away after all. Then Matt was full of tricks, he made any noise, and finally even used the firecracker trick, which crackled for a long time.
Firecrackers are a little bit on the boat, in order to prevent such a thing from happening.
As a result, the seabirds didn't feel anything, and Bei Hai, who was sleeping in the cabin, couldn't stand it for the first time.
It's no wonder that Bei Hai has only slept here for two or three hours, and Matt Qi Yiming is beating gongs and drums, and the cannon is still set off at the end, who can stand it! The cabin is not a luxurious soundproof room, and it cannot be heard inside and outside. There is nothing in the cabin that is not soundproofed at all.
"Still not letting people sleep?" Bei Hai asked with a yawn.
Listening to Matt talk about this, Bei Hai smiled bitterly in his heart, because this really can't be blamed on the two of them, and he has to blame himself. (To be continued)
