After the meal, according to the pre-planned plan, the yacht lifted anchor, began the second transfer, under the command of Lao Pu and the translation of Hong Tao, under the supervision of the first mate Pavi and Captain Gale, and sailed towards the north.

Today's daytime weather was good, there was neither wind nor waves, but as soon as the sun set, the situation changed a little, and a light wind blew on the sea, and the originally calm sea immediately became less peaceful, and began to surge a little with the help of the wind.

Although this is only a small wind, but there is no wind in the sea and there are three feet of waves, after this little wind, the yacht in the sea is not so smooth, once the bow meets the waves, the whole hull will be bumpy back and forth.

Anyone who has been out of the sea should know that the most unstable thing about a ship in the sea is not the waves, but the swells, that is, the kind that have no waves and waves. Not only does it make the boat jolt back and forth, but it also makes the boat shake from side to side.

For this level of wind and waves, Pavey, Gale and Lao Pu basically ignored and did not feel it at all; Hong Tao, Harrison, and Boss Liu felt a little shaky, and there was no reaction on their bodies; Erin and Wang Jian are a little dizzy, but not powerful, and it will be okay to divert their attention; Liu Gang and the fat boss reacted the most, and they already felt a little vomiting, but they were able to resist it after taking a piece of white rabbit anti-sickness medicine.

The yacht soon came to the sea area that Lao Pu said, and at this time the sky was not completely dark, and several bright spots could be seen on the sea surface from a distance, like lighting a few candles in the sea.

"Tao, are we here? I've seen the flames on the derrick. Pavey, who was sailing, was not surprised by the flickering flames.

"How do you know it's a flame on a derrick?" Hong Tao had just asked Lao Pu about the origin of those flames, and was about to educate Pavey, but it turned out that people knew more than he did.

"Hahaha, I'm in the navy, the whole world has run over, what are these derricks, there are more seafood in Malacca, and at night you will think they are stars. It's all over the sea. Pavey began to show off his background again, he is afraid that he only has the honor of being a navy in his life, and he will not leave his profession in three sentences.

"Let's go to the derrick on the left, get as close to it as possible, but don't hit it, we can't help it." After Hong Tao asked Lao Pu's opinion again, he made a decision.

"Don't worry, when we resupply at sea, the supply ship is only 100 meters away from us, and the waves are much higher than now." Pavey said nonchalantly. It is estimated that in his opinion, this small boat and this kind of sea state are not even training.

It turned out that Hong Tao's worries were also unnecessary, and the yacht was very obedient under Pavey's control, and soon dropped anchor next to the target derrick, and the distance from the derrick was no more than 100 meters. If it weren't for the workers on the derrick waving their clothes desperately to signal not to get too close, Pavey would have had to get the yacht under the derrick.

The drilling platforms here are all fixed, and from a distance they look like a Dai stilted bamboo building, with a tall iron tower on it, which is the drilling tower of the drilling rig. There is also a diagonal iron arm stretched out next to it, very long, very long, like the iron frame of an old crane, and the tip is the place where the fire breathes. Basically, it's not just day and night, there's a flame burning everywhere.

In the eyes of a layman like Hong Tao, the platform is probably divided into two parts: above and below! There were derricks and a whole bunch of houses and other buildings, very crowded on a platform. Below are the dense iron pillars, all of which are rooted in the seawater, and are presumably fixed directly to the bottom of the sea. As for how to fix it, Hong Tao doesn't know how to fix it, how to fix it.

Why should you choose a drilling platform as a fishing spot for sea fishing? There's a lot of learning in it. Many animals and insects are phototaxis, as are fish in the sea. At night, this type of rig becomes a lighthouse on the sea, with strong lights on all sides.

The lights were intended for the oil workers working on the platform, and they were also for fear of accidentally hitting a ship. However, it also has the side effect of attracting a lot of plankton and small fish. Other fish that feed off these plankton and small fish will follow, using the bottom of the platform as their hunting grounds.

Another reason is that there are usually a lot of pipes underneath these shallow offshore rigs, which are like reefs in the sea, and become a place for many animals to hide and settle down. Not only can they rely on the complex seabed terrain to avoid predators, but they can also eat some household garbage on the platform, such as leftovers and other things, so each drilling platform is an artificial sea fish nest, providing an ideal fishing spot for sea fishing enthusiasts.

At this time, it was already dark, the time was about 8 o'clock in the evening, not only the lights on the derrick were lit up, but all the strong lights on the yacht were also turned on by Pavey, according to him, there is no need to worry about electricity, as long as the oil in the oil tank is still enough, the engine can still rotate, the electricity will not be used up, open up!

The anglers at night are basically the same as during the day, Boss Liu, Old Gale and Fat Boss continue to use electric winches to sink the bottom fishing, Wang Jian and Harrison continue to use iron rods, Hong Tao and Erin share a boat rod, but they all change the bait to live squid, and they don't need to find a water layer to draw iron plates, but all fish the bottom.

The reason for these changes is that on the one hand, Hong Tao relied on his limited experience in sea fishing to judge, and on the other hand, he listened to Lao Pu's advice.

Fishing on the sea, the most important aspect is the fishing flood, to put it bluntly, there are no fish in this sea area this season, what kinds of fish are there. The fish in the sea are different from those in freshwater rivers and lakes, and most of them are migratory fish, except for a few fish in the coastal waters.

They appear in different seas every year depending on the water temperature and seasons, such as in the South China Sea, where fish stocks are at their most abundant from March to September. However, it does not mean that you can eat all the fish as long as you come to fish during this time period, and it is necessary to subdivide the time period when different fish are more vigorous.

For example, from March to April, groupers hiding in the reefs under the sea are very active, and this is a good time to catch large groupers. During the period from June to September, large schools of squid enter the area, and in addition to squid fishing, some squid feeding fish will also follow the squid school, such as yellowfin tuna, and fishing them with squid will be twice as effective with half the effort.

Hong Tao doesn't know much about these things, basically they are provided by Lao Pu, so in the activity of sea fishing, the proportion of the angler's skills is very small, and having a suitable boat and a guide who is familiar with the sea area is the key to success or failure.

As for conventional fish such as octopus (red sweet fish), red fish (purple and red snapper), yellow chicken (scaly), sweet potato (flat fish), tobacco boy (bonito, tuna), devil's head knife (mahi mahi), hairtail, pond fish (blue round trevally), golden-threaded sea bass, sharks, sea wolves, and various sea bream, they can be caught in most seasons, and it is nothing more than a matter of catching more and catching less.

This time, Hong Tao plans to focus on yellowfin tuna, since he has bought so many live squid, and it happens to be the migration season of yellowfin tuna, then don't blame us for being ruthless.

However, Lao Pu is only a professional fisherman, not a professional fisherman, so he can only make judgments on the species, bait, and fishing spots, as for how to fish, it is the angler's own business.

Lao Pu actually knows how to fish, but his way of fishing is not learned by ordinary people, so he uses a thick fishing line wrapped around a wooden stick, ties a big hook, and then ties a large or small lead sinker, hangs a small fish or squid, and throws it into the sea.

This kind of fishing method is called the hand line in the angler, the average person is not good at playing, not that the skill is not good, but our hand is not the hand of the working people, the skin is too delicate, once the big fish is hooked, the strong pull will be the fishing line deep into the palm, and the fingers have to be cut off by the fishing line, so the general angler is using a fishing rod, only those old fishermen dare to play the hand line.
