Chapter 136: Zhang Wei: Did I Catch a Fish? I didn't!
After cutting a bottle, Chu Mingcheng handed the scissors and the bottle to Chen Yang: "Ah Yang, you help me cut out the bottle first, and I'll catch the shrimp first." ”
Chen Yang has a stable personality, and it is more suitable to do these boring things.
He didn't have any opinion, picked up the scissors and got to work.
The thing that Chu Mingcheng arranged for Zhang Wei was very simple, that is, to sit in the driver's seat and pay attention, and remind him if there was a boat opposite.
Then he sat down on the other side, took out a bundle of fishing line, and began to make a trap out of bamboo sticks.
The method of making this trap is the same as the trap he made when he was a child to catch pheasants, and there are also textbooks on the Internet, so he learned it quickly.
At that time, the pheasants were not protected, and he often went to the mountains to set traps under the guidance of some big friends.
Of course, this is only used to catch large shrimp girls, catch small shrimp girls, just buy a "pump" on the Internet.
As the ship came to the first destination, Chu Mingcheng's trap also happened to be ten.
It's about 10 a.m., just before the tide is out, and the reef that was flooded yesterday is much exposed.
The bottles are all wrapped in fishing line and pulled up in a row.
One end of the fishing line was tied to the side of the boat, and the other end was tied to two large five-kilogram lead sinkers and thrown into the sea.
As the bottles are filled with seawater, the bottles slowly sink under the action of the plumb sinker.
And because of the weight of the plumb sinker, the fishing line is pulled straight, but the bottle will not fall off when the fishing line is wrapped around the mouth of the bottle a few times.
This is to facilitate him to play the shrimp back and forth by himself, so as not to often ask Zhang Wei and Chen Yang to come over to help.
Chu Mingcheng changed into his diving suit, put on a goggle and an underwater camera, as well as a net pocket and a fish spear.
I didn't wear any other equipment, and the two didn't know anything about diving anyway.
"You two are fishing on the boat, the fish resources next to the coral are generally not too bad, I'll go get the shrimp girl."
Chen Yang had no opinion, but Zhang Wei's expression was a little eager: "Isn't there a life jacket on the ship, why don't I come with you?" ”
"The water is cold, are you sure?" Don't look at the weather today, but the water temperature is much lower than when I took Jiang Luoluo to dive before, it is estimated that it is only seventeen or eight degrees.
It's okay to wear a wetsuit, it has a certain warmth effect, and the average person can't stand it directly wearing a life jacket.
Zhang Wei hesitated when he heard this, he was wearing slippers, so he came to the side of the steps, rolled up his trousers and tested the water temperature.
Feeling a little cool, he smiled: "I'm still fishing!" ”
He and Chen Yang both know how to fish, but they don't need to be taught.
Chu Mingcheng took his trap tools and swam towards the coral reef.
After swimming to a depth of about 10 meters, he dived to the bottom.
Today's main target was Shrimp Girl, so he started looking for the small hole first.
When he got underwater, he saw a palm-sized scallop on a piece of coral, and picked it up and put it in his pocket.
Then he found a small hole, put the bamboo skewers that had been hung with squid meat into the small hole, and picked up two stones to fix the bamboo skewers to avoid being pulled into the hole by the shrimp girl.
When he was done, he left here to find his next target.
For a moment, he forgot to swim to the surface to breathe and let the two people on the boat take a look.
It's just that the two men on the boat were also a little careless, and they didn't pay attention to the situation on his side at all, while they were concentrating on fishing on the other end.
In fact, it is also a subconscious trust, after all, Chu Mingcheng has learned to fish and hunt, plus there was so much seafood last night, isn't it easy to dive to catch shrimp aunts?
And this time, Chu Mingcheng found that there were quite a lot of conch shells here, and they were just enough to eat at noon, so he collected some.
At the same time, under a coral reef, a clear water grouper was found.
The place where it was hiding was so good, there were stones on both sides and behind it, and only Chu Mingcheng could escape.
At this time, it hid inside and did not move, only its mouth was open and breathing slowly.
Chu Mingcheng put the trap in his hand on a piece of coral and pressed it with stones, and then slowly swam over.
The movement was kept to a minimum, but in fact, the clear water grouper was still a little uneasy.
It's just that it didn't run away, but went even further inside.
Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng approached and stretched out his hands, and directly pressed it inside.
The Qingshui grouper struggled frantically after being held down, but it had very little room to move around, and there was not much room for struggle.
Chu Mingcheng slowly moved his hands, and pressed its head hard with his left hand, trying to buckle its gills.
Grab the tail with your right hand and keep it as still as possible.
Soon, the Qingshui grouper was caught by him, and it was estimated that it weighed only three catties, which was not big.
Because he was alive, he didn't dare to put the net pocket, for fear that one would be run away if he didn't pay attention.
So Chu Mingcheng grabbed the fish like this and swam to the boat.
Come to the back of the boat and throw the fish on the deck: "You two, put the fish alive in the water tank!" ”
"I'll go, how did you catch this live fish?" Zhang Wei hurriedly came over and caught the fish.
"Isn't it just a matter of having hands?" Chu Mingcheng spread his hands in the water, and no matter how he looked at it, his expression seemed to be a bit Versailles.
Zhang Wei: "Damn, don't you just know how to dive, you pretended to be it." ”
Chen Yang, who didn't have any resistance to the precious seafood, had already come up, looked at the fish, and his eyes lit up: "Ah Cheng, what kind of grouper is this?" ”
"This is called Qingshui grouper, it is a good grouper, much stronger than blue grouper and the like, and it is a grade like tiger grouper!"
"A notch with a tabby? That's fine, I'll leave this fish to me! ”
Chu Mingcheng knew what he meant, and shook his head with a smile: "Don't worry, let's talk about it when you go back, maybe there will be better fish when the time comes!" ”
When Chen Yang heard him say this, he also had more expectations in his heart.
The three of them continued their business, and Chu Mingcheng swam to the position just now.
It was only when he passed by the first trap that he was surprised to find that the trap had already been triggered.
Pull out the bamboo skewer and take a look, oh roar, good guy, a small arm-sized shrimp girl was pulled out.
Caught in the fishwire, it moved a few times, but unfortunately it couldn't break free.
He turned over the belly of the shrimp girl and saw that a shrimp paste line clearly appeared in his sight, it was still a female shrimp.
This is precious, a full hundred yuan more expensive than male shrimp.
With the shrimp girl in hand, he went to the boat and put it in a bottle.
Because the bottles were all in the water, they didn't alarm the two people on the boat.
It was much easier to catch the shrimp girl than he expected, and Chu Mingcheng had no intention of looking for other creatures while looking for the small hole this time.
He swam quickly across the water, dropping his trap whenever he found a small hole.
It took more than ten minutes, and all the traps in my hands were used up.
Then he went to the first trap position to take a look, and it turned out that the shrimp girl here had already been tricked.
Catching shrimp was much smoother than he expected, but when all the traps were put away, there were only five Banqin shrimp that grew to more than 20 centimeters, and the others were relatively small and were directly released by him.
Looking at the time, it was already eleven o'clock, but he didn't plan to go back, but came to another unexplored area, and put seven more traps.
Because he caught ten Banqin shrimp girls before, he had some experience.
The holes are very small, but in fact, depending on the size of the shrimp girl, if you dig up some holes, you will find that the diameter inside will be a lot.
Therefore, this time he dug a little bit of the hole first, put traps on those with long diameters, and ignored small ones.
This time he returned to the first trap and didn't trigger, so he returned to the boat first.
Chu Mingcheng grabbed the fishing line, and with the other hand, he took the bottle with the shrimp Gu in Banqin and turned around a few times, and the bottle was taken down.
He swam to the steps of the boat and shouted to the two fishermen, "If any of you have time, fill a fish tank with some seawater, and then put this bottle in and turn on the oxygen pump." ”
Zhang Wei has a fish hooked here, and he is not available.
Chen Yang happened to be fine, so he walked over, looked at the shrimp girl in the bottle, and was a little stunned: "When did you catch it, I don't know." ”
"The bottle is in the water, and you can't hear it."
"Okay!"
Chen Yang filled the fish box with sea water, picked up the bottle and put it in to turn on the oxygen pump, while Chu Mingcheng continued to dive under the water to bring up the other four bottles with shrimp aunts.
"That's right, I caught five, and they're all so big!" Zhang Wei also came over, holding a small fish in his hand as always.
Blue and black, you can tell at first glance that it is an ornamental fish.
Chu Mingcheng, who watched it, was stunned: "No, you have gone to sea and still fished for small fish?" ”
Zhang Wei felt that he had been greatly ridiculed, and immediately jumped to his feet and said: "What do you mean that I still catch small fish when I go to sea, is your position too poor, and there are no big fish at all?" ”
As a result, Chen Yang also made up a knife next to him: "I just caught a three-pound black sea bream." ”
"I stepped on the horse" Zhang Wei "bang", and threw the small ornamental fish he had just caught into the water, "You are blind, when did I catch a fish?" ”
“.” Chu Mingcheng and Chen Yang looked at each other, and Qi Qi extended a thumbs up to him.
This is a preference for the Air Force than to be insulted by Xiaoyu!
It was already noon, and all three of them were hungry.
After Chu Mingcheng returned to the boat, he asked them to take out the induction cooker and pot, as well as the spices and the meat and vegetables they bought in the morning.
With some dipping sauce, the ingredients can be eaten as soon as they are boiled in the pot, and the conch and scallops caught in the morning are not missed.
After eating eight minutes at noon, and after digesting it a little, Chu Mingcheng went into the water again to see the situation of the trap.
All seven traps were still hit, and his approach was not wrong, five of them were over twenty centimeters, and only two were a little small and were released.
It's a pity that the fish resources in this place are average, except for the clear water grouper caught in the morning, other valuable goods have not been encountered.
There are no lobsters, maybe it's not very far from the pier, and it's often taken care of!
It's just that the shrimp girls hide in the cave, and they are generally easy to ignore, so no one deliberately goes into the water to do this.
However, Chu Mingcheng didn't know the specifics, he wiped the seawater off his body with a towel, and without thinking about cleaning it, he drove to the next destination.
The next destination is a large reef complex.
It was a bit far, and it took nearly an hour for the boat to come to the vicinity of the reefs.
It's quite far from the pier, and the water looks blue-green and clear on the surface.
But there was a problem that made Chu Mingcheng quite puzzled, obviously there were many boats on the dock, but he found that after he went to sea, no matter where he went, he would not encounter other fishing boats, and he didn't know where those people went fishing.
For the time being, he didn't know the route of those anglers, so he had to find a suitable place everywhere by himself.
Chen Yang and Zhang Wei were still fishing, and Chu Mingcheng went into the water again.
If you see the blue and green water on the surface of the sea, it means that the actual water color is not good.
The best state of the sea is blue water, as long as there is a little green, it means that the water is a little muddy.
The greener it is, the more muddy it is, so green is not to be, this is a warning given by nature.
The waves here are a bit big, and Chu Mingcheng needs to spend some effort to balance his body after entering the water.
It is estimated that the current speed has reached three to four knots, and only seasoned fishermen and hunters can dive in such waters.
He dived into the water and noticed that the visibility here was about ten meters, which was not bad.
He wanted to swim to the reefs, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the fish resources under the water were extremely abundant.
No, it seems. I look at the fish finder and don't notice any fish!
So he swam back to the boat and shouted, "Zhang Wei, go to the boat to see if there are any fish on it." By the way, bring my speargun, I'm going to go fishing! ”
"Oh, okay." Zhang Wei hurriedly walked into the cockpit, and when he came out, he was holding a speargun in his hand, "Ah Cheng, there are fluctuations on the fish finder, and there are some red thick dots, does this mean that there are fish?" ”
Chu Mingcheng nodded: "Yes, I saw a group of Zhang Hong under the water, as well as red friends, you hurry up and go fishing." ”
"Okay!" Zhang Wei handed him the spear gun and went fishing with an excited expression.
Chen Yang heard their words the whole time, and he would also put away the small fishing rod and replace it with a larger fishing rod and a thicker string set.
