Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Sea Wolf Strikes
If he didn't catch the fish, and he didn't see the grouper, Chu Mingcheng felt that maybe it was the bait, and it might be much better to replace it with a live octopus and live mackerel.
Secondly, there should be a certain relationship between the water layer, and some anglers catch mesopelagic fish.
So even deep-sea fish, when they have a lot of food, it's not surprising that they leave the bottom, maybe they end up in the middle waters?
Chu Mingcheng decided to change the water layer first, and then change the bait if it didn't work.
He wasn't sure if he could fish on the water layer, so he didn't tell Jiang Yuqi for the time being, and he would talk about it after he tried it himself.
Chu Mingcheng took back the fishing line and tried to catch the middle fish.
As soon as the hook bait reached the middle level, a second after he pressed the pause button, the tip of the rod trembled, and he didn't expect to really catch the fish.
It is estimated that the rising Antarctic shrimp bait attracted the fish to chase it, and it was intercepted by the fish at the moment it stopped.
So Chu Mingcheng pressed the button again, pulled the fish up, and said to Jiang Yuqi: "Ah Qi, you take back half of the fishing line, there should be no fish underneath." ”
"No more fish down there? Okay, I got it! ”
Jiang Yuqi did not hesitate, and immediately took back half of the fishing line, but she was not so lucky, and there was a fish cut when she stopped.
Chu Mingcheng quickly pulled a fish on his side, but when he saw the fish, he was a little surprised, but he didn't expect it to be Shi Jiugong.
However, this is a certain difference from the Shi Jiugong that is usually caught along the coast.
The scientific name of Shi Jiugong is Brown Calamus, and the scientific name of this piece is White Spotted Calamus, which is generally known as White Striped Stone Jiugong.
The maximum size of the two kinds of calamus is about the same, but the environment of Xisha is good and the fish resources are abundant, so that his Shi Jiugong has grown to more than a catty, and one more can collect a dish.
It's a pity that the domestic calamus is relatively large and still has to go to the East China Sea, and there is a kind of three-color calamus that can grow to three or four catties.
This fish is not cheap, and it is no problem to buy a hundred above the catty.
But most of the people near the coast are only two or three taels, and this size can be sold for forty yuan!
It's just that there is one thing that he can't understand, Shi Jiugong is not good at swimming, and generally likes to hide in the reef potholes, he is in the middle waters, why did he catch a Shi Jiugong?
It's not scientific!
Maybe the fish happened to eat the bait when he was reeling in the line, so he didn't notice?
Then when he stopped in the middle, the fish was found struggling, so he misunderstood that the fish was intercepted?
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, Chu Mingcheng looked at Jiang Yuqi's fishing rod again, which was still not moving...
"Oops, there's big fish!"
“......”
Just thinking that there was no fish on her side, she was hit, looking at the extent of the downward bend of her fishing rod, the fish was not small, and it was definitely not Shi Jiugong.
This also made Chu Mingcheng sure that the one he caught must have bitten the hook under the water, but he just reeled in the line, and the weight of the plumb sinker and the small size of the fish made him not notice it for a while.
Jiang Yuqi's hook bait was in the middle waters, and the fish pulled up much faster than before.
When he saw a sea wolf in the water, he was confused again.
How could such a ferocious fish as a sea wolf be attracted to Antarctic shrimp, this is still unscientific!
When he helped to copy the sea wolf of about six or seven catties with a copying net, he immediately understood when he saw the small squid in its mouth.
It turned out to be a small squid gluttonous shrimp, and a sea wolf was hungry for a small squid, and it happened to be caught.
"Brother Ming, what kind of fish is this?" Jiang Yuqi squatted down and looked at the sea wolf's sharp teeth and asked.
"This is a sea wolf, also called a barracuda, a kind of golden barracuda family, also known as the big one, very fierce, generally appear in groups." Chu Mingcheng explained as he took out the hook with a hook picker.
Fortunately, in order to catch grouper, he used a steel wire lead.
Even so, the lead wire was badly worn and had a lot of bite marks, and he had to use a special lead wire.
But he didn't bring it himself, but fortunately the Sky did. He asked the boatman to carry two boxes of live small squid, and by the way, he bought about No. 30 alloy steel wire anti-bite front wire, as well as a 10/0 anti-bite steel wire sea hook.
Seawolves have a protective habit, and when a seawolf is attacked or hooked on a hook, other seawolves will attack it in groups or bite off the fishing line.
This is also an important reason why it is easy to cut the line when fishing for sea wolves.
This will not only be Jiang Yuqi caught a sea wolf, but there are also a few fishing friends in their sight who have caught a sea wolf, but more anglers have cut the line after catching a sea wolf because they were not prepared.
The boatman went to get something, and Chu Mingcheng went to the room to take out the No. 80 rod.
Sea wolves are pelagic fish, and fishing them with an electric winch is too boring.
As for his electric wringing rod, he caught a stone Jiugong just now, and it is estimated that there is still one at the bottom, so continue fishing, the fishing position next to him is empty, so it will not delay him to fight with the sea wolf.
Hooked with live squid, the hook bait caught the attention of this pack of sea wolves as soon as it fell into the sea.
Before the squid had even descended to the middle level, several of the sea wolves had already caught up, and the forerunners bit down in one bite.
successfully grabbed the food, but also successfully fell into the trap of humans, and was hooked in the mouth by a fish hook.
Feeling the foreign object and pain in his mouth, the sea wolf that bit the hook subconsciously wanted to flee into the distance.
But Chu Mingcheng on the boat raised his fishing rod to stab the fish as soon as he caught the fish, and this ten-pound sea wolf could not resist this force, and the whole head that was originally downstream suddenly tilted his head and was forcibly changed direction.
Seeing this, the partner next to it immediately went to help, wanting to bite off the front wire.
In their experience, all they need to do is bite off the line and their companion will be able to escape.
It's a pity that this is a special anti-bite front wire and anti-bite fishhook to deal with them, and I am not afraid of their sharp teeth at all.
Ten catties of fish is easy for Chu Mingcheng now, every time he lifts the fishing rod, he can retract several circles of line, and soon a sea wolf is pulled to the surface.
And the fish was lying on its side and even turned its belly, obviously the fish's strength had been exhausted.
Call the boatman, and the sea wolf was pulled directly to the ship.
Jiang Yuqi saw Chu Mingcheng's fishing posture the whole time, and anyone who didn't understand it knew that he was a master.
The sea king brother she cooperated with knew a lot of friends who liked sea fishing and even ocean-going fishing boats, which made her feel that it was a very wise decision to cooperate with Chu Mingcheng.
When Chu Mingcheng was fishing for the sea wolf, there was also movement on the side of the electric winch rod, and the fish was one step faster than the sea wolf, and it was a catty-level white spotted stone Jiugong.
It seems that the bottom of the water has really attracted a group of Shi Jiugong, and it seems that today is another sleepless night.
The only thing that makes him regret is that the sea wolf still feels a little worse when it is fished, and it is not too big.
But the fish came, and the plan for tonight's supper was dismissed.
Jiang Yuqi couldn't help but fall asleep at two o'clock in the morning, and went back to sleep first, and Chu Mingcheng fished all night again.

The sea wolf was obviously not a boutique fish, but he caught thirty of them in one night.
The price is that the front wire has been replaced by five, and the bait is hundreds of oceans.
But the harvest is also full, the sea wolves are basically between 6~15 catties, probably more than 300 catties and less than 400 catties.
Shi Jiugong also fished more than 20 catties, as well as three deep-sea groupers of more than ten catties.
It's just that people are sleepy and tired, Chu Mingcheng packed up his fishing tackle, went back to take a shower and fell asleep.
