Chapter 220: Tuna! Longline fishing!
Seinfeld didn't answer right away, looking up and carefully surveying the surrounding and distant seas. One golden thread after another, stretching from the sea in front of you, to the end of sight.
"Quick!"
"Stone and iron pillars."
"Hurry up and get ready to fish."
"Move out of the big row hook!"
Seinfeld grabbed the microphone and roared loudly, and in just a few minutes, the deck became very lively. Shi Tiezhu led people to quickly prepare for fishing.
"Hey!"
"It's really urgent."
"Seinfeld."
"What kind of fish did you find?"
Zhang Jiajia couldn't help but stomp her feet. He was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, but Seinfeld didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Hehehe!"
"Tuna."
"Found tuna."
Seinfeld slowly calmed down, and one of his main goals on this trip to the southern seas was to catch tuna. In the past ten or twenty hours, I have been tracking and searching non-stop, but there is no harvest, I really thought it would be difficult to find, or in this era, the number of tuna in the southern sea is not much, but I didn't expect to find one, and then I found a lot of tuna around the second and third articles.
"Huh!?"
"Seinfeld."
"Did you really find it?"
Chen Wenqing was surprised and delighted. After the tuna is caught, it must be bled as soon as possible, so as to ensure the quality of the meat, this trip to the fishing boat, Seinfeld deliberately asked himself to find a group of experienced people. At the beginning, I felt that this was not necessary at all, it was impossible to catch tuna in the southern sea or Seinfeld on this trip, Seinfeld was very insistent, Seinfeld was the boss, and he could only find a lot of people like this, but what he didn't expect was to really find tuna.
"Hah!"
"Is this still fake?"
Seinfeld drew a large circle in front of his eyes with his hand. Tell Zhang Jiajia and Chen Wenqing that a lot of tuna is scattered in this area.
"No, right?"
"Isn't it a school of tuna?"
Zhang Jiajia was a little dumbfounded. Seinfeld's painting is so wide that it is simply boundless, if it is a school of fish, it will be very convenient and easy to catch, but if it is the same one, it is very difficult, it takes a lot of time, tuna is indeed very valuable, but for Seinfeld's deep-sea fishing boat, it is not cost-effective at all, it is better to catch some other fish, shrimp and crabs that are not particularly valuable, but are huge schools of fish.
"Hah!"
"Mountain people have their own tricks."
"Be prepared."
"Just wait and see."
Song Feiyun pointed to Shi Tiezhu, Li Erniu and others, who were busy preparing for fishing on the deck at this time, before going out to sea to fish this time, he had already decided to see if he could find tuna, to see if he could catch tuna, and at the same time, he knew more very well that in the southern seas, this kind of place that is not an important production area for tuna, it is unlikely that a school of tuna will be formed, even if he finds a lot of tuna, these tuna are scattered in the wide sea area, Pelagic trawlers can only play a huge role when they catch a huge school of fish gathered together, and catching scattered tuna is a cannon to fight mosquitoes, plus the speed of tuna swimming is very fast, and the speed of trawlers is not comparable, even if you know where the tuna is, you may not be able to catch it.
"Longlining."
"It's very effective for catching tuna, especially tuna scattered over a wide area."
"It's a large row hook, a main line has a lot of strands, and each strand is tied to a hook, the difference is that the main line of longline fishing is very long. The longline we used this time was twenty kilometers long. ”
Before Seinfeld went fishing this time, he found He Lili and specially prepared longline fishing.
"Huh!?"
"Twenty kilometers of main line!?"
Zhang Jiajia was startled.
"Hah!"
"What's so strange about that?"
"Don't say it's twenty kilometers, it's not strange that it's a hundred kilometers or two hundred kilometers."
Seinfeld shook his head with a smile. The 20-kilometer main line is indeed very long, especially in this day and age, it may seem a little longer, and there are not many fishing boats that actually use longlines to fish. But if it were twenty or thirty years later, the crazy fishermen would have turned the main line into a hundred or two hundred kilometers. The sea area covered is very wide, and you can catch a lot of tuna and other large fish in a short period of time.
Chen Wenqing knew that Song Feiyun was going to catch tuna on this trip, or that he planned to catch tuna, but he didn't know what kind of way to catch tuna, and now he heard that the main line of the large row hook that was ready to be put into the sea was 20 kilometers long, and now he heard Song Feiyun say that it was short, and the long one was likely to reach 100 kilometers, or even 200 kilometers, and he was even more shocked.
The sea is open, even calm, and the sea is blue.
Song Feiyun knew that Chen Wenqing or Zhang Jiajia was very shocked to catch tuna in this way, but in fact, this is really just the beginning, the people who go out to sea to fish or those multinational giant fishing companies in later generations, try every means to catch a large number of all kinds of fish, shrimp and crabs in the sea, especially the use of high science and technology, and what they are doing now is just the beginning.
Song Feiyun saw that Shi Tiezhu and Li Erniu were ready to fish, and personally drove the fishing boat, Liu Jingliang and Liu Zhiyong were experienced, but they didn't know where the tuna in the sea looked like, longline fishing could cover the wide sea, if they could know exactly where the fish looked like, they would definitely be able to catch it more efficiently and quickly, this was the first time they caught tuna, and they had to shoot it themselves.
Song Feiyun drove the ocean-going fishing boat, the speed was maintained at five knots, Shi Tiezhu and Li Erniu cooperated to release longlines into the sea, the main line of the wire rope was put into the sea, and a fist-sized squid was hung on the hook of each subline, which was used to catch tuna.
"Seinfeld."
"Did you really prepare all this before you went out fishing?"
Zhang Jiajia looked at the stone iron pillars on the deck and these people were busy, whether it was longline fishing, or these squids of about the same size hanging on the hook at this time, these were all live squid, all of which showed that Seinfeld had been prepared for a long time, and he had long known that he could find tuna in the southern waters.
"Hah!"
"How could someone who goes out to sea to fish not be prepared?"
"Everyone who goes out to sea to fish is prepared. The difference is just what you prepare! ”
Song Feiyun nodded, he was indeed prepared, if he was not prepared or only relied on the trawling nets on the distant-water fishing boats, even if he found a lot of tuna in the southern waters at this time, it was basically impossible to catch them, and if the fishing efficiency was too low, he could only give up.
Now it's different, with longline fishing that has been prepared for a long time, it is not difficult to catch these scattered tuna in the sea, and the fishing efficiency will be very high.
"Huh!?"
"How do you know you're going to catch tuna?"
Zhang Jiajia was very shocked.
"Hah!"
"How can you go out to sea to fish 100 percent? I just knew that there might be tuna in the southern seas, and I wanted to catch tuna, so I made a little preparation, whether I could really find tuna, I don't know, I just had luck, this trip really found tuna, and the prepared method was useful. ”
Seinfeld drove the fishing boat and kept putting longlines into the sea. Zhang Jiajia was very surprised, but in her own opinion, it was just an ordinary thing.
There are tuna in the southern seas. This is a 100% thing, the difference is that after all, it is not the main production area of tuna, and the size and quantity of tuna are not as good as anywhere else. The only surprise is that it is the early 90s, and it is unknown whether there is the same or how many tuna there are in the sea. When I went to sea to fish in the southern seas, tuna must be one of the targets, and I must definitely say that I must be prepared.
Chen Wenqing told Zhang Jiajia. Seinfeld had indeed been prepared, and his fishing boat had already found the tuna to be processed according to Seinfeld's requirements, especially the master of bloodletting tuna, and even his own fishing boat had prepared a frozen storage for tuna.
Zhang Jiajia looked at Song Feiyun who was seriously driving the fishing boat to release longline fishing, and was very shocked in her heart, don't look at Song Feiyun who said very politely, but he had already prepared for all this before going to sea. Proof that Seinfeld knew 100% that he would be able to find tuna.
Noon.
The sun hangs in the sky.
The weather in the southern waters is much better than that in the waters near the wharf of Songjiamen Fishing Port.
It was a little cold early in the morning, but now it's so hot that even the people on the deck are starting to sweat.
The longlines were all put into the sea.
Twenty kilometers of the main line, covered by a wide sea area.
There is not only one main line that Seinfeld has put into the sea, but there are five of them, which is a hundred kilometers in a row.
"Seinfeld."
"This way of catching tuna is amazing, even amazing, isn't it?"
Zhang Jiajia's fishing experience can basically be said to be equal to zero. But as long as you think about it, you can know how powerful Seinfeld's fishing method is. Twenty kilometers of each main line are put down, and five covered sea areas. The 100-kilometre sea area is all covered by these longlines.
Directly speaking, in such a wide sea, as long as there is tuna, it is possible to be caught.
"Hehehe!"
"There's nothing wrong with that. Indeed it is. ”
"This longline is aimed at fish that are large but scattered."
"It's very useful, and it can even be said that the fishing efficiency is very high."
"Don't look at these tuna scattered in the wide sea, trawling is very inefficient, but if you use longlines, the efficiency of fishing will be far beyond imagination."
Seinfeld picked up his thermos cup and drank half a cup of strong tea. I didn't sleep all night, I tracked the fish all night and found the tuna, and immediately started catching it, until this time, I haven't slept for more than fifteen hours, and I'm very tired, but now is not the time to sleep and rest.
The great thing about longline fishing is that it can cover a wide area of water. Five longlines together are 100 kilometers long, but not one after the other, if they are end-to-end, especially if the main line is 100 kilometers or 200 kilometers, the sea area covered is larger.
"Actually. The terrible or efficient thing about this method of fishing, as the fishing boats keep moving forward and dragging, the sea area that these main lines really cover can reach a very terrifying level. ”
Seinfeld knows very well the correct way to open longlines.
Zhang Jiajia and Chen Wenqing are very strange, why doesn't Song Feiyun use such a procrastination method, just think about it, you know that this kind of practice can really cover the huge sea area. But all these longlines that are now put into the sea are stationary.
Seinfeld shook his head. One is that the density of tuna in the surrounding area is relatively high, and there is no need to drag these longlines. The other is that at this time, the sea in front of me is moving faster. Longlines placed in the sea can move with the flow of water without the towing of a fishing boat.
Seinfeld didn't wait too long. After eating, I rested for an hour or two and began to pull the first longline that was put into the sea, but at this time, the matter of driving the fishing boat was handed over to Liu Zhiyong, and he and Zhang Jiajia, Chen Wenqing, and Liu Jingliang were all on the deck of the fishing boat.
The sun hangs in the sky very hot, and even gives a summer feeling.
The experienced tuna handlers on Chen Wenqing's fishing boat are now all on deck. The tools needed had already been prepared, and huge ice buckets were laid out on the deck one after another. After the tuna is bled out, it must be immediately chilled in an ice bucket, which is not hard ice, but floating with ice water that crushes ice.
Zhang Jiajia and Chen Wenqing looked at the winch that kept turning, the longline was constantly pulling up, and the two of them were getting more and more nervous.
"Hah!"
"Relax, relax."
"We caught a lot of tuna, and these tuna are very rare bluefin tuna, and they are very big."
"To put it bluntly, this trip made a lot of money and made a fortune."
Song Feiyun saw that Zhang Jiajia and Chen Wenqing were very nervous, and smiled and comforted him.
"Hey!"
"How do you know you've caught a lot of tuna yet!?"
Zhang Jiajia took a hard breath, her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and she was so nervous that Seinfeld was 100% sure that she had caught a lot of tuna.
"Hah!"
"If I didn't have any skills, I would have starved to death."
Seinfeld laughed out loud. I can see the fish in the sea, how can I not know that I have caught a lot of tuna?
