Chapter 54: Diving and Fishing
With a yacht driver's license, back at the port, Chen Yuan looked at the fuel gauge of the fishing boat and drove the fishing boat out of the fishing port.
"Go to Wok Island." Zhou Sheng said.
"Not going fishing?"
"Go out and try diving fishing." Zhou Shengdao.
"Okay." Chen Yuan said and turned right.
Chen Xin They are fishing near the fishing raft, this time is about to reach the seventh minute of Xiaochao, and it is also good to go fishing.
Chen Yuan had seen a video of diving and fishing before, and seriously, he wanted to try it too.
Out of the fishing port, the fishing boat kept accelerating, and after leaving the strait, it was at full power.
Now the tide is high, the tide is small. The tide level is ......
It didn't take long for Chen Yuan to find an anchorage near Wok Island. Zhou Sheng threw the anchor claw down......
When the fishing boat stopped, Chen Yuan took out the fishing rod and assembled it, using plastic bait.
Zhou Sheng also loaded the fishing rod: "Find the grouper and bring it back alive." ”
"Okay."
Chen Yuan put on a diving suit, picked up a fishing rod, lifted the plastic fish cage, hung a bag again, and jumped down after seeing that there was no one around.
The water here is less than ten meters deep, and Chen Yuan can easily dive in.
The length of the rod is 3.7 meters, and the rod is hard. I tried the fishing wheel underwater, and it was okay to operate, and then I looked around for fish.
The waters around Wok Island are clear, and in recent days the high tide has been in the middle of the night, and now it is a light tide...... Visibility in the sea is excellent.
Chen Yuan searched along the rocks, and soon found a coral reef.
The reef is not big, but there are many fish.
In the crevice of the coral reef rocks, Chen Yuan saw a tiger grouper, and saw Zhou Sheng coming here, Chen Yuan looked at him, his hands crossed...... Motioned for him not to come.
Zhou Sheng cooed a few bubbles, expressed his understanding, and swam towards the deep water.
Chen Yuan set up the fishing rod and set the line...... The bait landed in front of the grouper.
It's past four o'clock in the afternoon, the light is good, and the grouper is very vigilant. Chen Yuan teased it with a pole......
Good fellow, the grouper actually swam away.
Chen Yuan chased after it, and saw that it had entered a crack in the rock, so he continued to tease it on the bait.
After a while, the grouper finally couldn't stand it anymore and bit the bait.
Chen Yuan lifted the fishing rod suddenly.
Chen Yuan was also cooing excitedly, a few bubbles popped out of his mouth, and after taking the grouper back, he grabbed the head of the fish and unhooked it...... Put it in a cage first.
After a while, Chen Yuan had actually been in the water for ten minutes.
But until now, Chen Yuan still didn't feel like holding his breath, but he still floated up and changed his breath. By the way, I went back to the boat and took two ropes and two pontoons, and tied the cage at one end of the rope and the pontoon at the other...... Mark the cage this way, and take the time to find the cage when you don't leave.
Chen Yuan went over to find Zhou Sheng, also marked his cage, and then returned to the reef and continued to look for fish.
It's a light tide, and many fish are still hiding in the deep water and not coming out to feed.
The reason why it is easy to catch fish at high tide is not only because of the current, but also because of high tide...... Fish in deep water come to shallow water to feed.
Chen Yuan also has a satchel around his waist, there are many small fish in the coral area, and the big fish didn't see a few, so he collected a few conchs and sea urchins.
There are a lot of sea urchins here, and after a while, Chen Yuan picked up more than a dozen sea urchins. Carefully remove the thorns of the sea urchin and put it in your pocket...... After another ten minutes, his pocket was about to be full, and he was about to go back, when Chen Yuan saw a few stone breams swimming over.
Chen Yuan hurriedly floated up a bit, and stretched out the evil fishing rod...... Put the line and tease a few times with the bait.
A stone snapper that was estimated to weigh about three catties couldn't stand it at that time, and the quick movement came up with a mouthful.
Chen Yuan also pulled the fishing rod violently and quickly reeled in the line. The other stone snappers haven't reacted yet, and are still swimming below looking for food.
Chen Yuan's fishing rod is particularly hard, and it is very easy to use when fishing underwater. In just ten seconds, Chen Yuan caught the fish, unhooked the hook, returned to the cage, and threw the stone snapper into it.
Stone snapper, with black and white stripes deep in the mountains, this fish likes to eat shellfish such as conch, sea urchin, and barnacles.
Chen Yuan used the bait to be a small silver-white sequin, and after only teasing it, it bit the hook.
Chen Yuan dragged the cage back to the position just now, there were still a few stone snapper here, and he didn't run far......
Chen Yuan teased the fish again, and another stone snapper couldn't stand the temptation and bit the hook. This time, the fishing rod was pulled, and three stone snapper fish 'swished' and disappeared.
Stone snapper has a special aroma and this fish rarely comes to shallow waters. The price is also relatively expensive, about 100 yuan and 1 catty.
The price of fish depends on the region, the season, and the target of the sale.
Chen Yuan dragged the cage back to the boat, opened the two live water tanks, and raised the fish separately.
Just half an hour, three fish, about a thousand.
However, diving fishing is really not something that ordinary people can fish.
There seems to be a special diving boat on the Dongsha side, and professional divers wear equipment to go fishing.
Freediving fishing, mostly around the rafts. Videos can be found online......
One of the better aspects of diving fishing is that you can choose the fish you want to catch. Watching the fishing ......
Going to the sea again, Chen Yuan saw Zhou Sheng swimming over.
"Come over and help." Zhou Sheng shouted.
Chen Yuan swam over, good guy...... Zhou Sheng tied the tail of a large grouper with a rope that marked the cage.
The grouper was estimated to weigh twenty or thirty pounds
Twenty or thirty pounds of large grouper has great strength underwater.
Chen Yuan went over to help pull the rope, and Zhou Sheng gasped: "I'm tired to death." ”
"Cowhide." Chen Yuan said: "What is the depth of the grouper below?" ”
"I got it at a depth of more than twenty meters."
If the fish wants to be brought back alive, it has to take its time to prevent it from exploding.
The two dragged the rope and returned to the yacht. Zhou Sheng stayed and slowly dragged the grouper, saying that it took about ten minutes for the grouper to get to the shipyard. There is no need to deflate, and the vitality is still very good after coming out of the water.
Chen Yuan continued to search on the coral reef, but the big fish were not found, and he caught a few small groupers.
The crimson grouper, which is a small grouper, is the largest, and it is estimated that it is more than a catty. I did five in a row...... All of them are between four taels and seven taels.
There was nothing good about the coral reef, so Chen Yuan was about to go to the deep sea, and suddenly saw a big green dragon, as long as a wrist, so long.
Chen Yuan approached and pressed the lobster: Coo-goo-goo......
Chen Yuan's mouth was bubbling with excitement, and he grabbed it with both hands and looked at it carefully, so he was not excited.
This is a Chinese splendid lobster, estimated to be two or three catties. It is now a national second-class protected animal......
Chen Yuan just looked at it, let go of his hand, and let it go.
Chinese splendid lobster is commonly known as lobster, flower lobster, mountain prawn, Yamato prawn, sand prawn, etc.
There is still a clear difference between splendid lobster and green lobster, there are more green lobsters here, and splendid lobsters are rare.
Chen Yuan left the cage at a depth of ten meters and went to the deep water area by himself......
During this period, I saw some black sea bream, yellow sea bream, and some trash fish. It's not big.
said to Chen Yuanlao that more than ten or twenty yuan and 1 catty of fish are collectively referred to as miscellaneous fish.
There are many fish near the island, but there are very few precious fish.
After changing his breath for more than twenty minutes, and after another air change, Chen Yuan saw a mouse spot......
Gently approaching, again deep into the wicked rod.
The rat spot was very alert, and when Chen Yuan approached, it fled, but it was too slow to swim, and Chen Yuan chased after it, watching it hide in the crevice of the rocks.
Two mouse spots were also found just now, but they were too small, not half a catty, and Chen Yuan didn't touch them. This rat spot is very large, estimated to be about three catties...... The gap in the rock was very large, Chen Yuan put down the fishing rod and swam over, grabbed the rock, and his right hand was like a cannonball, and with a 'bang', a large ball of bubbles exploded under the water, and he also grabbed the mouse spot.
The color of this rat spot is very positive......
Judging by its size, it's definitely an adult rat spot. But its color, bluish-white, black dots...... This color is beautiful.
Adult mouse spots are usually darker in color.
However, the color of the rat spot is also related to the sea area where it lives......
Chen Yuan grabbed the head of the fish with one hand, carefully put it into the net pocket around his waist, and after tying it, he went back to pick up the fishing rod......
Then looking at the time of the watch, it slowly floated up, and after more than ten minutes passed, Chen Yuan returned to the cage, put the mouse spots into the cage, and then floated up for ventilation.
Just now looking for fish, chasing mouse spots, and the time since I came back, I have been in the water again for more than forty minutes, and I already have a feeling of holding my breath. Take a deep breath and dive again......
Zhou Sheng swam over and gestured, meaning: There are no more fish, go back.
Chen Yuan pointed to his cage......
Zhou Sheng took a closer look, a smile appeared on his face, bubbles were spouting in his mouth, two thumbs up, and he shouted two words: "Beautiful." ”
This rat spot is about three pounds, and more importantly, the color.
The rat spoter is both a high-grade edible fish and a high-grade ornamental fish.
The two of them carried the cage back to the side of the boat, surfaced on the boat, and took a while to pull the cage up.
Zhou Sheng prepared the box, brought seawater, and turned on the aerator again......
Chen Yuan lifted the cage out of the water and raised the rat spots alone. Precious fish have special treatment and occupy a large box exclusively.
"This rat spot, it's beautiful." Zhou Sheng said.
"This fish should be thousands of dollars." Chen Yuandao.
"At least three thousand."
This time I came out with three boxes, all filled with water and oxygen......
After separating the remaining fish and keeping them in the box, Chen Yuan and the others changed their clothes and put away their anchor claws.
It's not early.
Back on the island, Chen Yuan took out the phone and called Lin Xinhai: "Master, are you still fishing?" ”
"Ready to wrap up."
"Come back, we got a few beautiful goods, help us see the price." Chen Yuan said.
"Okay...... What a beautiful thing. ”
"A big grouper, a rat spot." Chen Yuandao.
