It's dawn.

Chen Yuan stretched his waist to get up and opened the curtains.

Outside, the sea and sky are colorful, and there are seabirds circling in the distant sky. However, the wind is stronger today, and the waves are stronger......

Chen Yuan took out his mobile phone, pulled the lens farthest, and took two photos.

The photo is a little blurry and can't be seen clearly.

Chen Yuan took out his mobile phone and called Master: "Master, what is the maximum wind today?" ”

"At noon, the wind can reach level 6, and there may be gusts of force 7." Lin Xinhai said: "What's the matter, you want to go to sea today?" ”

"I saw a large flock of seabirds on the surface of the sea." Chen Yuandao.

"What a seabird."

"Many."

Lin Xinhai perked up and said, "Want to go out and try?" ”

"Let's go."

"Shout to be promoted."

"Hmm."

Chen Yuan put on a long-sleeved sunscreen suit with a hat: "Hey, hurry up and go to sea." ”

"What are you doing at sea early in the morning?"

"There are schools of fish." Chen Yuan said.

"It's down."

After Chen Yuan washed, he went over and knocked on Chen Xin's door and said, "I'm going out and I'll be back at noon." ”

"Oh." Chen Xin hadn't woken up yet: "What are you doing out?" ”

"Go fishing."

"I'm going to ...... too"

"There are big waves today."

"I want to go too." Chen Xin said.

"Not today, another day." Chen Yuan ignored Chen Xin as he spoke, went to the window to look again, and hurriedly went downstairs.

There are large flocks of seabirds circling on the surface of the sea, indicating that there are fish there, and there are plenty of them.

Chen Yuan went to the fishing tackle shop first, and Lin Xinhai was also here, and he bought a fishing rod...... Three rods, with 1200J electric wheels, with 16 nylon wire as the main line, and more than a dozen iron bait.

The price of a set of equipment is about 10,000 yuan.

Lin Xinhai also notified Wang Peng to prepare ice cubes, big ice cubes.

There is a refrigerator next to the shipyard, and a piece of ice is 50 kilograms, so I brought a total of 4 pieces.

"Hey, Brother Fei, are you here, we're leaving." Wang Peng hired two porters to help transport the ice to the ship and make phone calls.

"It's coming, it's coming soon."

"Hurry up."

"It's coming, it's coming...... I've seen you. ”

Wang Peng also saw He Fei's black pickup truck, the car drove over and stopped on the side of the road, He Fei and his friend Yang Xun jumped out of the car, saw the ice being transported, and said, "What kind of big action are you going to do, so much ice." ”

"My father-in-law asked me to do it." Wang Peng said: "Didn't I tell you last night that I have two very powerful senior brothers, and they are about to go to sea, let you come and go out to play together, and see if there is any possibility of cooperation in the future." ”

"Don't mess with me, there's a level 6 wind ...... today," Yang Xun said.

"I came back before noon, it's fine." Wang Peng added: "The 13.7-meter fishing boat is equipped with a 420 horsepower imported diesel engine, which is very powerful. ”

He Fei nodded: "What are you going out with so many ice cubes." ”

"I heard from my father-in-law that the owner of the ship, who is also my senior brother, found a school of fish...... Let's go out and see if there are any tuna. Wang Peng said.

Tuna is found all year round in the South China Sea, but in general there are relatively few in summer.

Tuna fishing is just one of them.

If there are schools of fish, it means that there are other large predatory fish.

Chen Yuan and Lin Xinhai sorted out their equipment in the fishing tackle shop: "Master, how much do these things cost." Chen Yuan said.

"It's not much." Lin Xinhai said: "Give you a fishing rod, and then send Zhou Sheng a fishing rod." And a fishing rod of my own...... In the future, I will also go out fishing with your boat, and you can just don't charge me for the boat fare. ”

"Okay." Chen Yuan smiled and took the things to the car.

Zhou Sheng also came to the shipyard, checked the equipment, brought another box of mineral water, and set off.

The wind is now about level 3, and it is bursting for a while, but it is just the time of high tide...... Wind blowing from the southwest.

If the wind is maintained, today is a great time to catch big fish. But the weather forecast says there is a chance that the wind will reach force 7 today.

When the fishing boat leaves the bay, it is at full speed.

Chen Yuan looked at the speed, and could only run to 27 knots. The speed of the ship is affected by the currents, wind direction and wind force, etc., which is still relatively large.

There are swells on the sea.

Chen Yuan put on life jackets for everyone.

The speed of 27 knots is not slow, it can even be said to be very fast. The undulating waves, the bow of the boat riding the wind and waves, hit the waves, and the splashing waves were more than two meters high.

"This is my senior brother Chen Yuan, and he is also the shipowner. This is Senior Brother Zhou Sheng...... My father-in-law, Master Lin. Wang Peng introduced: "He Fei, Yang Xun...... It can be said that they are masters of fishing, and they also have boats, and they often fish in the offshore waters. ”

"Where are we masters, it's fishermen." He Fei said: "I heard that you have a plan to go fishing in the open sea, and we also want to go, but I don't know what the price is." ”

"We'll talk about that when we get ashore." Chen Yuandao: "We are also new here, and we don't know much about the local sea conditions. How many meters is the tuna usually from the shore in this part of the water? ”

"We rarely fish for tuna. The occasional catch is all luck...... We are generally near Hailing, and we will run farther to Wok Island and Nanpeng Island. There's bonito, and farther away you can occasionally come across Qinggan, and I've caught a dogtooth tuna. ”

Bonito and dogtooth tuna are not considered tuna......

He Fei continued: "In the domestic area, sometimes yellowfin tuna can be caught under the net, but that is an exception. The tuna activity area is estimated to be more than 100 kilometers away. I heard that there are a lot of sea areas in Yitong and Shenhu, and then there is Dongsha, which is the closest tuna activity area to Jiangyang. ”

And then there's Nansha.

Overall, there aren't many tuna here. If you have a lot of experience, it is not difficult to catch tuna. But if you don't know about tuna cruising habits, it's mainly a matter of luck.

The cruising habits of tuna vary from place to place. In general, however, the South China Sea can be caught all year round.

The South China Sea is too big, anyway, to fish for tuna you have to go to the open sea, the edge of the continental shelf.

Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng have been offshore fishermen here for about half a year before, but the time is too long, and they don't know the sea conditions here.

However, fishing is actually similar to fishing, if you know how to find fish. Finding fish depends on ocean currents, topography of the seabed, weather, etc., and then it's a matter of luck.

After running out to sea for half an hour, the waves on the sea surface became bigger and bigger, but I didn't see a flock of birds.

Half an hour, 20 kilometers offshore.

Chen Yuan took over the wheelhouse and continued to sail in a southwestern direction with his senses.

When he was at home, Chen Yuan did see a flock of birds, and he judged that it should be more than ten kilometers away. But when Chen Yuan's mobile phone shoots, the focus is adjusted to the farthest, and the black dots can only be seen very blurry......

In the morning, the wind was not strong, the weather was clear, and the visibility over the sea was very high.

And when I went downstairs, I definitely couldn't see the seabirds......

Seabirds are also not static.

After running for more than half an hour, Chen Yuan saw the group of seabirds.

A large flock of seabirds, estimated to be hundreds to a thousand large. With so many seabirds flocking, it should be rare in the country.

Several hundred meters away from the seabird activity area, Chen Yuan opened the fish prospecting and found that there were already a small number of swimming fish on the bottom of the sea. This small amount is compared to a large school of fish, and if you look at it in normal times, this number of fish is already a large school.

On the display, the fish are small schools of fish such as sardines, and there is a high probability that they are sardines. There are also many large fish around......

Chen Yuan slowed down the speed of the boat, used the rear pilot's seat, and let the master drive the boat, and he and Zhou Sheng went out to prepare the fishing rod and threw the iron plate out.

A large iron plate weighing 335 grams was thrown out after hanging the hook.

The speed of the boat was about 11 knots, and Chen Yuan's fishing line was released 50 meters first, and Zhou Sheng followed the line......

Chen Yuan's fishing line was put at about 120 meters, and when the fish was hit, the fishing rod bent the bow, lifted it vigorously, and pressed the reeling line.

Zhou Sheng also began to close the line......

Lin Xinhai turned on the gyroscope and stopped the boat, and the engine also carried some power to stabilize the hull.

Zhou Sheng closed the line, and he also hit the fish, and his fish was relatively big, the wheel made a mechanical sound, and the speed of returning the line was also very slow, and he shouted excitedly: "Good guy, come and hit the big fish." ”

Chen Yuan's fishing line was quickly retracted, the waves swayed, and even if the stabilizer was turned on, the hull of the boat still swung violently.

Wang Peng looked at the side of the boat, and after the fish came out of the water, he lifted the iron hook to hook the fish accurately, and lifted it up: "I'll go...... Such a big mackerel. ”

This mackerel is more than 1.5 meters long, which is particularly fat, and the weight is estimated to be more than 30 catties.

However, Zhou Sheng's fish began to exert force, and Zhou Sheng gave up the electric twisting and returned the wire by manpower. The heavy fishing rod of sea fishing was bent in his hand......

"Be careful of disconnecting." Chen Yuan said.

"I feel like it's a swordfish, and it definitely weighs more than 100 catties...... "Zhou Sheng said: "You can't loosen the line." Master, control the boat and help me reel in the line. ”

"Good...... You stay safe. Lin Xinhai said.

"Slow down."

Lin Xinhai gently pushed the throttle and turned the direction of the hull, and the sea wolf came from the side, and the hull shook even more. However, this shaking was just a small scene for Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng, Zhou Sheng was still very steady holding the fishing rod, and when the fishing boat moved, he turned on the electric ......
