Chapter 114: The Blessed Don't Be Busy

After feeding the stomach and drinking hot tea on the calm sea, blowing the sea breeze, this should also be regarded as a kind of enjoyment, and taking this opportunity, the Maruyama brothers popularized the basic knowledge of trolling to Hong Tao.

Sailfish, also known as marlin, their range of activity often follows the range of activities of other fish and changes, because those small fish are their food, so in the seabed suddenly rises, the sea water is clear and mixed, there are floating objects on the sea surface, there may be a large number of small fish gathering, so the captain of the trolling boat must look for the traces of these fish according to these characteristics, and then with the help of fish finders and telescopes, as long as these fish are found, and follow them to move, the sailfish will soon appear.

But it's easier said than done, it's hard to sit up, like the Maruyama brothers, who were born and raised in Okinawan for several generations, from fishing to running fishing boats, and they don't dare to say that they can find sailfish every time they go out, the sea is too vast, compared to its vast waters, the fish in the sea are too rare, no matter how experienced you are, going out to sea fishing is still a sport that depends half on luck and half on skill, and luck is more important.

Originally, Hong Tao thought that he would continue to troll after lunch, but Captain Maruyama said that the current climate is not suitable for trolling, it is too calm, and the fish have run to the deep water area to move, and it is not easy to find, so this afternoon it was changed to free activity, he said that there is a trench below the place where the boat is parked now, about 80 meters deep, there should be a lot of bottom fish, those who are willing to play can play with the iron plate, and those who are willing to rest will rest in the cabin, and set off after dinner, and arrive at another fishing ground before dawn tomorrow, Let's see if we can catch a sailfish over there.

Yae and Ueno are older, and they are not very interested in pumping iron plates, Muraichi and Maruyama brothers are chatting, I don't know what Lu Dao is talking about, anyway, listening to the heat, there is no effort to fish, only Hong Tao and Zhou Xiaoli are left, Hong Tao is not good to leave Zhou Xiaoli alone to smoke iron plates, so he found a 2-rod soft boat fishing rod, and like last time, tied a plumb sinker and a string hook, ran to the bow of the boat with Zhou Xiaoli, opened the parasol, took off his shoes and sat on the edge of the railing, chatting and fishing.

"Oh, if only I could afford a big yacht, I would be able to drive it around the world, fish if I want, and find a port to stop and rest for two days if I don't want to fish." Hong Tao set his fishing rod on the railing of the boat, lay on the deck, enjoyed the taste of the skin and flesh brought by the sun-scorched deck, and began to daydream again.

"Dream, big yacht, can you afford to pay for the berthing in the harbor and the fuel money? Besides, do you know how to sail? Even if you learn it, your passport won't go to most places, and the local police will arrest you as a smuggler. Zhou Xiaoli simply woke up Hong Tao's daydream with a series of questions.

"I said that you are too ruthless, let me be happy for a while, people always have dreams." Hong Tao hit Zhou Xiaoli's ass hard.

"Oops!! Your rod has fish, get up, get up. Zhou Xiaoli was harassed and was about to get up to fight back, when she suddenly saw where Hong Tao's fishing rod was and nodded up and down, and hurriedly pulled Hong Tao's hand.

"Hey, it bites when I don't want to fish, it doesn't bite when I want to fish." Hong Tao sat up lazily, picked up the fishing rod, and shook the reel helplessly.

"What kind of fish is this, let's run, it doesn't weigh at all." After shaking it a few times, Hong Tao felt that it was not right, he couldn't feel any force from the fishing rod, and the fishing line was getting lighter and lighter, as if something was helping him send the line up below.

"I'm X, what the hell is this! Dolphins? Finally, the fishing line was almost finished, and a big round spike ball also floated to the sea with the hook, although Hong Tao had never played deep-sea trolling, but he had seen a lot in the animal world.

"Oops, is this a fish? It's so interesting, grab it! When Zhou Xiaoli saw this cute thorn porpoise, the brilliance of motherhood couldn't help but shine, and she reached out and grabbed the fishing line and was about to lift it up.

"Don't move, this thing seems to be poisonous, don't let it be pricked, I'll do it." Hong Tao hurriedly stopped Zhou Xiaoli's welding ** and sawing light bulbs, although he was not sure that this kind of spiny dolphin was really toxin, but its relative puffer fish was highly poisonous, who dared to guarantee that their family had poisonous genetics.

"I'll call the captain to take a look." When Zhou Xiaoli heard the poison, she quickly retracted her hand, stood up, and shouted at the Muraichi and Maruyama brothers who were still chatting.

"Captain Maruyama praised you, saying that you caught the most delicious fish, and made you a hedgehog pork skin soup to eat at night, which is a great supplement." Zhou Xiaoli said while with the assistance of Maruyama, she reached out and pinched a thorn on the body of the hedgehog, lifted the one-foot-long ball, and then looked at its funny appearance and giggled, Hong Tao only then realized that Zhou Xiaoli actually had this kind of two-hundred-five attribute.

The spiny dolphin is a close relative of the pufferfish, which mainly grows in shallow tropical seas and feeds on crustaceans and shellfish. This fish is not a good swimmer, so it has evolved a way to defend itself against other fish, and that is a hard spine. These hard spines grow from its lips to its tail, covering its whole body, and when it senses danger, it will immediately inhale a large amount of air and sea water from its gills and mouth, and inflate an air sac on its intestines.

There are several kinds of spiny dolphins, among which only the brown-bellied spiny dolphin is basically not poisonous, which is the most suitable for human consumption, and what Hong Tao caught is precisely a brown-bellied spiny dolphin, there are these Japanese, even if it is a poisonous spiny dolphin, they can also get it without poison, because in Japan, the skin of the spiny dolphin is a kind of food supplement, and Japanese men are very willing to drink a bowl of spiny dolphin fish skin soup, which is said to be a good product for the kidney.

"I'm going to fish for dolphins too!" The fish was taken away by Maruyama, and Zhou Xiaoli still felt that she hadn't seen it, so she pulled Hong Tao and started fishing again.

"Oops, my fishing line can't be pulled, is it hanging on the bottom rock?" After Zhou Xiaoli sat down, she planned to bring the rod up to change the small shrimp on the hook, but after a long time, the fishing line just couldn't shake, so she had to ask Hong Tao for help.

"You use my rod, I'll try." Hong Tao and Zhou Xiaoli switched positions and gave her their fishing rod to play, and then her fishing rod shook the fishing line with her hand, and then lifted it up to Lu.

"It's really hung up, pull it off and re-tie the hook." After mentioning it a few times, the fishing line still didn't move, and Hong Tao was also annoyed and planned to break the fishing line.

"Hey...... It doesn't seem to be hanging to the bottom...... Why does this thing move with me as soon as it pushes hard! But when Hong Tao put on gloves, grabbed the fishing line and tried to tear it off, he suddenly found that as his strength increased, there were signs of loosening under the fishing line.

According to his experience of fishing in the reservoir, it is likely that some branches, aquatic weeds or small debris hanging from the bottom of the water will come up, and if you pull it slowly and vigorously, it is likely to pull the things below up without losing the fishing rig. So Hong Tao continued to wrap the fishing line with his gloved hands, and pulled up little by little with his strength, and the thing under the water was also pulled up little by little with Hong Tao's fishing line.

"I'm X, what the hell is this? You go and call Captain Maruyama, how can there be a rope here? After tossing for ten minutes, Hong Tao finally pulled up all the fishing lines of dozens of meters, and what emerged from the water with the hook was neither aquatic plants nor branches, but a thumb-thick rope, and the hook was just hanging on the rope, and one end of the rope was still deep at the bottom of the sea, Hong Tao pulled it hard, but did not move.

“@##¥%##@!” Captain Maruyama was called over by Zhou Xiaoli for the second time, he looked at the rope in Hong Tao's hand, tried to pull it again, patted Hong Tao's shoulder very happily, and gave him a thumbs up.

"What's going on? What's underneath? Hong Tao could only ask Zhou Xiaoli.

"The captain said you were blessed to have you waiting for a seafood feast in the evening." Zhou Xiaoli didn't know what was going on underneath the road.
