The name take-off bridge is a term used in the structure of a ship, which refers to the highest deck of a multi-storey building on the deck of a ship. It was originally designed as an arc to install radar, radio and other navigation equipment, but with the advancement of shipbuilding technology, many yachts have designed this place as a swimming pool, awning and other facilities, and the flybridge like a fishing boat is generally an additional bridge, a set of driving devices in front of the rush, and a set of driving devices in the back, which is specially used to deal with frequent forward and backward movements during trolling.

Below the flybridge is the main cabin with portholes, whether it's a yacht or a fishing boat, it's usually a living room with a large screen TV, sofa, mini bar, dining table and coffee table, a place to rest and entertain.

This main cabin is generally located in the middle and rear of the boat, the front is the empty foredeck, generally there are no facilities, and there is a rear deck at the back, the area is slightly smaller, like the rear deck of this SR63 fishing boat is about 15 square meters, which is the main fishing area, especially for trolling. On both sides of the back deck, there are lockers of different sizes for fishing equipment such as rods, hooks, life jackets, etc., as well as small Xiaoice boxes for bait that needs to be frozen.

At the same time, there are two huge frozen fish storage tanks on the deck for the fish caught, these two cabins are almost the size of a coffin, and it is more than enough for one person to lie down on his legs. There is also a live fish tank at the back of the deck, where there is a pump to pump the seawater in and circulate it for the bait that needs to be kept alive.

The entire rear deck is enclosed, with a wall about 1 meter high, but there is a small door that can be closed at the left of the rear, this door is called the tuna door, the lower edge of the door is almost parallel to the waterline, it is specially used to drag too large fish in, and at the same time, when the fishing boat docks, it is generally butt against the trestle. This gate is also a passage for getting on and off the boat.

The back deck of ordinary fishing boats is a working area, which is generally these facilities, but why is this fishing boat called a high-level fishing boat, people also set up a row of waterproof sofas at the front of the back deck against the main cabin, and there are Xiaoice cabinets under the sofa, so that you can sit comfortably on it and drink cold beer while waiting for the fish to be hooked.

To the right of this row of sofas is the passage to the main cabin and the ramp to the flybridge, the sofa closest to the middle is set up separately, it can be turned up, and below is one of the passages leading to the lower deck, and the other passage is in the main cabin.

The lower deck is divided into two main parts. The back third is the engine room, where two diesel units are installed, as well as some refrigeration, power generation, and pumping equipment. The front two-thirds are living quarters, with a kitchenette, two storage rooms, and four bedrooms, each with a bunk bed, similar to the inside of a submarine, but with a little more space.

In addition, things like fuel tanks and fresh water tanks are not visible, and they are all close to the keel.

If you are a professional fishing boat and you are trolling. There will also be a lot of brackets to be installed between the flybridge and the aft deck, and these are the trolling rods that stick out on either side of the trolling when trolling, just to increase the width of the aft deck and prevent the trolling lines from getting tangled together. These brackets can be removed on a regular basis. When used, it can be bolted through the fixing hole on the hull, which is very convenient and fast.

One of the main differences between a trolling boat and a regular fishing boat is the rear deck, where there is a metal track in the middle of the aft deck, in the middle of the two fish storage tanks. When you don't usually do trolling. There is nothing on this track, which makes it easy for everyone to move around the aft deck. When it's time for trolling, a special chair is attached to this metal track. Hong Tao calls it a combat chair!

Why is it called a combat chair? The reason is very simple, when you are on the fish, especially when you are on the big fish, the strength of your upper limbs alone cannot drag the big fish in the water in the hundreds, thousands of pounds, so at this time, you have to tie yourself to this combat chair with a safety belt, with the help of the strength of your legs, pedal the foot pedal in front of you, push the combat chair back along the track, and then bend your legs, when the combat chair is pulled forward by the big fish, take the opportunity to reel in the line.

Basically all the time you spend fishing in this chair fighting big fish, so it's called a battle chair.

There are also some small parts, such as those metal jacks on the mast where the fishing rod is inserted; In the waterproof box in the middle of the wall is the power socket, which is the power supply for the electric winding wheel; The spotlights on the flybridge are the lighting equipment for fishing and bait at night; The probe of the fish finder is mounted under the keel of the hull, and it cannot be seen unless it goes to dry dock.

This is basically all the functions and equipment of a trolling boat, according to the regulations of the International Federation of Sea Fishing Sports, as long as the boat meets the safety standards can be used as a fishing boat, which means that these equipment are not necessary, you can participate in the competition without a combat chair, fish finder, or trolling bracket, even if you are just a motorized sailboat. Therefore, this kind of luxury fishing boat is not necessary for trolling competitions, but the luxury and comfort functions are complete, and it is not no benefit to fishing competitions, as for how to choose anglers, it depends on personal habits and financial resources.

"Don't worry, let's go around in a circle in front first, although we are following them to fish, we can't be too obvious." But the Báb did not fully open the knot in his heart, and his body fell into the well, and he had to hang one ear to suffer.

"They found a school of fish, you see, there were schools of fish in front of them, but they didn't know if they were sardines." Hong Tao looks at the fish finder, but he doesn't know if it shows a school of sardines.

"I look like, our ship is fast, get ahead!" Old Babu didn't say anything disgraceful at this time, and directly pushed the throttle to the end, and the fishing boat immediately raised its head and split the waves and sailed forward.

Not to mention, this Hartres fishing boat is really not only more elaborately decorated, but also has a good power system and hull stability, and soon increased its speed to 35 knots, and it still runs freely in the big waves of the South Pacific, often jumping the whole boat from one wave peak to another.

"Babu, drive a little slower, don't break the ship." Hong Tao was almost knocked down by the huge bumps several times, but he was not afraid that he would not be able to stand steadily, but that he was afraid that Babu would break the boat, you must know that in the case of waves to move at such a high speed, the huge water pressure requires the strength of the hull structure is very large, but as long as there is that seam is slapped open by the waves, everyone can only call the coast guard.

"Don't worry, this ship is sturdy, it's a monolithic hull, built according to Navy standards, even if it's a little faster." Babu glanced at Hong Tao disdainfully, and his men pushed the accelerator forward a little more.

"Slow down, you won't be slow this time, the fish are below us." Hong Tao had no problem with this old breed, so he could only use the fish to treat him, and at this time the boomerang had been left behind, and from the fish finder, the group of fish had been caught up, and they were swimming directly below the boat.

"Paul! We've caught up with the fish, and when my boat comes down, you'll be able to take the bait!" Hong Tao, you can also go to the back deck, I'll just watch it here! Babu glanced at the fish finder and shouted at the back.

"Hong Tao! You're here, we're both in the middle, Philip and Cavill with a stand. "Paul, they had already prepared their rods, and they were all stuck in the base, waiting to catch up with the fish and take the bait. Seeing Hong Tao walking down from the flying bridge, he deliberately made room for him to be the main force.

"Then you're welcome." Hong Tao didn't care about being polite at this time, picked up a 2-foot-long aluminum alloy lure, hung the pairs of sponge balls that had been tied up on the connecting ring of the head of the lure two pairs, and then connected a tied anti-bite line, and then hung a red special float at the other end of the anti-bite line, and then threw the bait into the sea from the stern, and waited until the entire anti-bite line was straightened, and then connected the end in his hand to the main line of the fishing rod.

This time, Hong Tao used a slightly different fishing method than he used in Japan, the main difference is that there is a red float. In fact, both methods are trolling, but the target fish and sea conditions are different. In Japan, floating lures were used mainly to catch ferocious fish cruising on the surface.

Now it's marlin fishing, and although the fish are also active in the upper layers of the water, their goal is to chase the tuna of sardines, which are swimming at a depth of more than 40 meters below the surface, and those tuna and marlin naturally have to dive to that depth.

But the bait is not a submarine, you can dive if you want to dive, you can float if you want to float, it can only have two states, either sink or float, so if you want to fix the depth of the bait, you have to rely on the float to be a float, so that you can roughly control the depth of the bait according to the speed of the boat and the sardine school is similar.

This 2-foot-long lure was also specially processed by Hong Tao and asked Paul to process, and it was inspired by the stainless steel plate of the Japanese captain Ueno. Hong Tao pondered that sardines and tuna are silver when they swim in the sea, and if you make a similar color bait and pair it with those sponge balls, it should be more attractive to marlin.

However, the bait should not be as big as a sardine, which is only a little more than a bunch long, and this target is too small to attract the attention of large tuna or marlin, so he asked Paul to make the lure larger. As for why the stainless steel material was changed to aluminum alloy, this was changed by Paul without authorization, he thought that the stainless steel material was too heavy, so he chose a lighter aluminum alloy. Hong Tao doesn't care about this change, the effect is almost the same anyway, and the hardness of this aluminum alloy is quite high, no worse than that of stainless steel. (To be continued......)
