Chapter 242 Non-Commercial Fishing License

When the two came to the restaurant, they thought that the hotel was serving a Western-style breakfast, but it turned out that some of them were Chinese-style breakfasts, including cheong fun.

Jiang Luoluo was a little surprised and tried to choose some Chinese food.

Western food is eaten and eaten like that, and Chu Mingcheng was also surprised that a foreign hotel would arrange Chinese food.

He was curious about the taste of these Chinese breakfasts, so he asked for a rice rolls, xiao long bao and so on.

The two of them came to a table with breakfast and sat down, but they met many Asian faces.

It seems that there is Chinese food, which should be specially taken care of by Chinese tourists.

This made Chu Mingcheng's good impression of this hotel immediately increase by several notches.

If it weren't for the fact that this side was too remote, he wouldn't mind staying here a little longer.

After breakfast, it was not early, Chu Mingcheng checked out of the room and called a taxi to the city center.

The bus here runs every half an hour, and he would rather spend more money for convenience.

Coming to the city center, they chose a hotel by the sea with a big park next to it.

Although they had only been here for a day, Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo both fell in love with the city.

The environment is really good, the temperature is pleasant, the highest temperature in summer is more than 30 degrees, but because of the temperature difference between day and night, it will not be too hot at night.

The only pity is abroad, if there is a similar place in China, they will definitely buy a house and live there for a long time.

After checking into the hotel and putting away their luggage, the two of them began to check in and play at tourist attractions.

After playing for several days, the hotel has changed three times.

Until they came to Mornington Beach, a popular homestay in Mornington, Chu Mingcheng stayed in a vacation cottage named Dimana.

Mornington Beach is also eleven kilometers from Melbourne's city centre, and it is very convenient for Chu Mingcheng to come here after renting a car.

There are many interesting places on the Mornington Peninsula, such as the IELTS maze and the lavender garden that Jiang Luoluo wants to go to.

As for Chu Ming City, he naturally focused on the hot springs on the Mornington Peninsula and the large number of abalone living along the coast of Mornington.

This seafood, men like to eat, and they can't get tired of eating it!

"Luo Luo, it's already two o'clock in the afternoon today, let's go diving and catch some abalone, how about making an abalone dinner in the evening?"

"Do you need a fishing license to catch abalone?"

"That's for sure, but it's easy to get a non-commercial fishing license, so we'll go now."

The luggage was left at the B&B, and the two of them drove off again, first to the local fishery administration.

The price of a non-commercial fishing license in each region of Australia is different, Melbourne belongs to Victoria, and Victoria's non-commercial fishing license has a total of four time options.

Three days, twenty-eight days, one year, and three years.

The longer the time, the more cost-effective it is, Chu Mingcheng considered that his time in Melbourne should not exceed a month, so he applied for two 28-day fishing licenses.

The price is twenty-one Australian dollars, and two tickets are forty-two.

Secondly, fishing for abalone requires a diving kit that meets local specifications.

I didn't bring my diving suits at home, otherwise it would be too troublesome to have an extra suitcase.

Although Chu Mingcheng doesn't have so much money now, he already has more than 1.2 million deposits before he came.

In addition to the 50,000 Australian dollars exchanged, he just had more than 1 million in his bank card.

If you can't afford to buy a house in the center of Xiamen, can't you afford two sets of wetsuits?

After spending $4,000 on two sets of wetsuits, you also need a ruler the size of an abalone.

There are three types of abalone at Mornington Beach: green-edged abalone, black-edged abalone and tabby abalone.

Among them, the green-edged abalone must be larger than 13 cm, and the remaining two must be larger than 12 cm.

There are patrols along the beach at all times, and they check not only the fishing license, but also the size of the abalone caught.

Those who do not meet the standards will be fined and the abalone will be released.

So they had to buy an abalone knife, which was blunt and wouldn't hurt it when cutting the abalone.

Sharp objects such as diving knives and screwdrivers are forbidden to avoid injuring abalone, especially those that do not meet the specifications.

In short, if you want to get some seafood, there are a lot of restrictions.

Chu Mingcheng felt that with the vast sea area in China, if it could be as strict as Australia, then people in coastal cities would need to buy seafood often.

When you have time to rest, you can enjoy a seafood feast by casually playing on the beach, how cool it is.

Unfortunately, this cannot be done in China.

Everything was purchased, and the two of them came to Mornington Beach.

There is a row of colourful cabins, and when they come with their scuba gear, you can see a few influencers with Asian faces taking pictures.

This kind of doesn't need to be guessed, you can know that it is a domestic Internet celebrity at a glance.

Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo have encountered a lot when they have checked in at scenic spots in the past few days.

And what's interesting is that these little Internet celebrities took a few photos and shared them, and their value immediately "skyrocketed" when they returned to China.

The two of them were surprised, and chose a wooden house on the edge, opened the door and walked in.

You can see that there are a lot of props for beach play, such as surfboards, swimming rings, etc.

These are all chalets for tourists, and visitors can also change their clothes here.

The two of them changed their clothes, put their fishing licenses in waterproof bags, and put them on their bodies.

In Australia, whether it is fishing or diving to catch seafood, the fishing license must be kept on the body at all times for future reference.

When you come to the beach, you can see several divers holding a palm-sized abalone out of the water.

There are a lot of abalone fishers in Mornington, but there are many more in Melbourne Harbourne, almost to the point where there are no abalone to catch.

Therefore, when Chu Mingcheng was in Melbourne a few days ago, he didn't think about this.

The two joined hands in the water from the beach, then dived flat on the surface and slowly swam into the deep water.

Abalone fishing must be in waters below two meters, otherwise it will be fine, and there are two uniformed civil servants patrolling the beach!

When Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo entered the water, these two locals were still staring at them for a long time, obviously staring at them.

Fortunately, they have all the documents and abide by the rules, and they are not afraid of being targeted.

He pulled Jiang Luoluo and swam until he reached a shallow reef area more than 100 meters offshore before stopping.

The water depth here is about six or seven meters, and the water depth is about ten meters next to it, and it is impossible for ordinary tourists to swim here to catch abalone, so Chu Mingcheng is likely to find a few big ones.

"Luo Luo, you look for big abalone here, I'll go to the bottom of the water nearby to see if there are any lobsters."

"Okay, it's up to you for this seafood dinner that night!"

"Haha, as long as there are good things here, I promise to get my hands on them."

The water here is shallow, and he still pulled Jiang Luoluo when he swam over, so he can leave for a short time with confidence.

Jiang Luoluo has practiced twenty-one times so far, and the dynamic breath-holding time has just passed two minutes, and he can already dive to a depth of twenty meters.

It's still easy to find a few large abalone in such a shallow place.

Chu Mingcheng plunged headlong into the water and began to wander under the water.

The water off the coast of Australia looks crystal clear, but after diving into the water, it is not so clear, and the visibility is only about 10 meters.

When he entered the water, Chu Mingcheng was a little surprised, there were a lot of abalone under the water!

And the water and grass are dense, and there are many stones.

On the sides of these stones, large abalone are attached.

However, Chu Mingcheng's goal is not these for the time being, diving to catch abalone, one certificate and five performance catches at a time.

The two of them eat at night, they don't need so much, I believe Jiang Luoluo can handle it.

However, if you charter a boat to go out to sea to catch abalone, no matter how many people there are in that boat, you can only catch ten, which is the restriction of non-commercial fishing licenses.

Chu Mingcheng can naturally apply for a commercial fishing license by relying on external plug-ins, but as I said before, who will sell the things to.

Whether it is good or not to sell, whether it will be pitted, and even cause hostility from local fishermen to trouble him.

When a foreigner comes to grab food, the local fishermen are definitely unwilling.

This can happen even in your own country, let alone abroad.

That's why he waited for Noah to come over, and with a local there, these troubles would naturally be eliminated.

It's nothing more than that the benefits will be shared by him, which is also what it should be.

Successful businessmen know that win-win cooperation is a win-win situation, and Chu Mingcheng will not be reckless no matter how stupid he is.

He began to look for the dragon in the crevices of some nearby reefs, and the fishing season was similar to that of the king crab.

It's just that the female shrimp with seeds can't be caught, and secondly, the length of the lobster's head must be greater than 11 centimeters, and the female can be less than 0.5 centimeters.

Lobsters can only be caught with bare hands, and no tools are allowed.

Although there are restrictions, it has no impact on Chu Mingcheng.

He likes to catch big seafood, and he releases all the smaller seafood in China, so these restrictions are useless for him.

Not having tools is not a problem for him, others can catch it with their bare hands, let alone having a plug-in.

After a while, he found a lobster hiding in a rock crevice, reached in and held the lobster down, and then gently pulled it out to avoid hurting the lobster with too much force.

This lobster is not very big, Chu Mingcheng originally wanted to release it directly.

It's just that the calipers just bought it and it was useless, so I followed the local customs and measured the lobster head with a caliper.

Nine and seven centimeters, it was almost enough specifications, Chu Mingcheng let go of his hand and released it, and the tail of this Australian dragon slapped and swooped out.

Then he swam to Jiang Luoluo's side and took a look at her situation.

When she saw Chu Mingcheng coming, she happily picked up an abalone bigger than her palm, and said with a smile: "Amazing, this is enough for the two of us to eat." ”

Chu Mingcheng found that there was a circle of cyan on the meat of this abalone, and said, "This is a green-edged abalone, I didn't expect it to grow so big." ”

"yes, I'm going to pry two other varieties of abalone now, how did you catch the lobster?"

"Met one, unfortunately a bit small. I'm going to keep looking, and I'm going to catch a big one tonight. ”

"Well, come on!"

This time, Chu Mingcheng traveled farther and found an underwater reef group.

This place is good, unlike the abalone just now, the bottom of the water is sandy, and it is not easy to hide lobsters.

After looking here for a long time, he soon found an oversized lobster, estimated to weigh five or six pounds.

You don't need a ruler to measure this kind of size, just grab it.
