Chapter 272: Catching a Big Fish

"Lolo, head to the next crab pot location."

Chu Mingcheng picked up the walkie-talkie and notified Jiang Luoluo in the cab.

"Roger."

As soon as the voice in the walkie-talkie fell, the Poseidon that had already warmed up the engine started and slowly came to the next crab pot.

With the cooperation of the two, Chu Mingcheng quickly took back all the crab pots and shrimp pots.

At a depth of more than 200 meters, shallow sea crabs such as normal pike crabs cannot be caught.

The chance of encountering deep-sea crabs is relatively small, so this time it is natural for the Air Force.

Fortunately, the shrimp pots made up for everything, and there were spiny armored shrimp in the five shrimp pots, which were about sixteen or seventeen catties in total.

It's not a lot, but it's not bad compared to its rarity.

After arranging the crab pots and shrimp pots neatly and fixing them with packing straps, Chu Mingcheng opened the small door on the back deck and let the sea lions go to find fish to hunt by themselves, and help him find tuna by the way.

For this reason, he also deliberately took out his mobile phone and turned out photos of tuna for them to see, and when there is a plug-in to communicate, he believes that these three sea lions know what to do.

After the sea lion left, Chu Mingcheng came to the wheelhouse.

"Lolo, go to the third floor, the sea lions have already gone out to look for fish, and we can't find them if we're all in the wheelhouse."

Jiang Luoluo nodded and had no opinion, she picked up the binoculars and came to the third floor.

The third floor is a place for outdoor rest and entertainment on the ship, where friends can drink tea and chat, and there is a flybridge above to shade the sun.

As for the cabin, it looks like one floor from the outside, but it is actually divided into three floors.

The wheelhouse was on the second floor, and there was normally a captain's lounge here, but he didn't ask for it, and replaced it with a sofa and coffee table.

On the first floor is the kitchen and living room. There is also a floor below deck, two separate bedrooms, both with a large bathroom and even a bathtub.

There is also a dance studio, also with a small toilet.

Therefore, for Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo, although the Poseidon is not a yacht, its comfort level is really not worse than that of yachts of the same level.

The Poseidon slowly drove on the surface of the sea, and the situation of the fish on the bottom of the fish finder was refreshed every second.

The red and yellow dots that represent fish change slightly after each refresh, but unfortunately there are no thick red lines that represent schools of fish or large fish.

After more than ten minutes, Jiang Luoluo's voice sounded on the walkie-talkie.

"Ah Cheng, Xiao Hei is coming from the left, you stop first."

"Okay!"

When Chu Mingcheng heard this, he immediately stopped the ship, and then hurried to the back deck.

Jiang Luoluo looked at him curiously on the third floor, only to see him touch Xiao Hei's head, and then Xiao Hei swam to the bow of the boat, about twenty meters away.

Chu Mingcheng returned to the wheelhouse and started the Poseidon again.

When Xiao Hei saw that the boat was moving, he swam on the surface of the sea, and from time to time he would sink for a while, and then suddenly appear in front of the boat to the left or to the right.

Jiang Luoluo didn't know that Chu Mingcheng could order Xiao Hei, but he just sighed that this sea lion was really too smart.

The Poseidon followed it, and after twenty minutes or so, several thick red lines appeared on the bottom of the fish finder.

The three red lines on the surface of the water are three sea lions, which, after the boat stopped, left the boat and left to find fish to fill their bellies.

Chu Mingcheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect the three sea lions to really be able to find a big fish, looking at the movement trajectory of the red line, if nothing else, it should be a tuna, and a small probability is a shark.

As for Xiao Hei, they will leave, this is what Chu Mingcheng ordered.

Once you've taken him to the tuna-filled waters, you can go to the nearby waters to feed, but stay too far away to avoid encountering sharks or killer whales.

Although this side is only a few dozen nautical miles from the southernmost part of the island, there are definitely a lot of ferocious predators, and the sea lions are only in the middle of the food chain, which is nothing.

If he could, Chu Mingcheng would actually want to know a few killer whales, at least he didn't have to worry about them suddenly getting cold.

And in the presence of killer whales, tuna may appear, but sharks definitely run far away.

Looking at the thick red lines moving back and forth on the fish finder, Chu Mingcheng was sure that they would not run far for the time being, so he adjusted the position of disembarking, and the bow of the boat was facing the sun.

He went to the aft deck and pressed the next button to get the shading equipment up.

Then he beckoned to Jiang Luoluo: "Luoluo, come down and fish!" ”

"Okay!" Jiang Luoluo agreed and hurriedly ran down.

When she came down, the sunshade equipment had been automatically set up, and because of the angle, the sunlight was completely blocked.

Today's wind was not very strong, and the shade cloth did not make the Poseidon shake more violently.

Chu Mingcheng removed the cloth cover on the chair at the stern, brought two heavy fishing rods, and installed them in the fishing hole on the stern.

He himself used a large drum wheel, and the length of the fishing line reached a thousand meters.

Jiang Luoluo is equipped with an electric winch, and the length of the fishing line is also a thousand meters.

She catches 200 catties of tuna, and with the electric winch, she can catch one fish, and she can catch a few more.

If you use a drum wheel like him, it's hard to say whether you can catch one.

A two-hundred-pound tuna can't be handled by a thin man, so at least two people have to take turns.

The distance between the two positions is also quite far, so as long as you pay attention to the point, there is a high probability that it will not be tangent.

Then Chu Mingcheng took out another box of mackerel bait, hung one on each of the two fishing rods, and threw it into the water.

The mackerel quickly descended into the water layer of the tuna with a large five-kilogram plumb sinker and stopped in this position.

Then Chu Mingcheng took out the fish killing knife again, chopped the mackerel into three pieces, and put it into a bucket.

Jiang Luoluo had already put on his anti-cut gloves and threw his chopped mackerel meat into the water.

With the cooperation of the two, it only took a short while, and the mackerel threw about twenty catties.

"Is the bait almost there?" Jiang Luoluo felt that he had thrown a lot, and couldn't help asking.

"It should be enough to throw so much more." Chu Mingcheng continued to chop fish and did not stop.

Jiang Luoluo also had a good idea of how much he threw away, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue when he saw this: "The cost of catching a tuna is really too high, if it is the Air Force, the cost of a nest alone is almost the salary of an ordinary person working for two days." ”

Chu Mingcheng said with a smile when he heard this: "But if you can catch it, the benefit is also big, the cost of four or five hundred is at least seven or eight thousand, and if it is more, it is even two or three hundred thousand, anyone is willing to do it!" ”

"That's right!"

Jiang Luoluo nodded approvingly and continued to throw mackerel bait.

As she continued to nest, a fish nest with a range of about ten meters soon formed at the stern of the boat, and a small pile gathered at the bottom of the water.

The appearance of the bait itself will attract fish to come and see if it is food.

The red lines on the fish finder were rapidly approaching the Poseidon as several large tuna spotted food piling up on the bottom.

They were familiar with the food, so they didn't hesitate to scramble for it.

Tuna can only breathe when it swims, so after swallowing a bite of fish, it will swim forward for more than ten meters before turning around and coming back.

The food that accumulates on the bottom of the water is eaten almost twice, but this is not enough to fill their stomachs, so mackerel hanging from their hooks attracts them.

Jiang Luoluo was still throwing fish pieces, and the next moment, she saw the fishing rod on the left side suddenly bend down, making a "squeaking" sound.

The line was also pulled out at a great speed, the crank turned into a hot wheel, and the unloading force of the drum wheel did not seem to stop the tuna from escaping.

"Hit, hit!" Jiang Luoluo hurriedly reminded.

Chu Mingcheng also noticed the movement of the fishing rod when she reminded him, and immediately threw down the fishing knife, stepped forward and grabbed the fishing rod with both hands and lifted it hard.

The rod was immediately lifted upwards, and the tip of the rod made a "whoosh" sound.

"The fish is not small!" Lifting the rod to stab the fish, let him roughly know the size of the fish through his touch, and his face was happy.

"Haha, it looks like we'll be able to recoup our costs soon." Jiang Luoluo threw the fish pieces in his hand back into the bucket, washed his hands and sat on the chair, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Chu Mingcheng was hit here, and she felt that her side was estimated to be very fast.

But in fact, the movement of the tuna biting and struggling under the water scared away its companion, and there was no movement on her side for the time being.

And Chu Mingcheng grabbed the fishing rod with one hand, and shook the crank handle with his right hand to quickly reel in the line, and he had a rough idea of the strength of this tuna, and he could carry it.

So after collecting the dotted line, in order to speed up the consumption of the tuna's physical strength, he took the fishing rod out of the fishing hole and held it in his arms.

The moment he picked him up, his whole body was pulled forward.

It's just that his own strength is not what it used to be, but he is standing firmly in place.

"Ah Cheng, I feel like you can sit on a chair and fish!" Jiang Luoluo looked at the height of the chair and said.

Chu Mingcheng looked back at the chair and felt that it was indeed possible.

So he lifted up with the rod in his hand, moved two steps, and sat down on his ass.

With his feet on the pedals, he immediately found that he was much more relaxed, and the chair was high enough that he could still see the water in front of him.

"It's a design that allows people to sit and walk the fish, and it feels as easy as trolling in a boat."

"Haha, I only found out after I sat down, maybe I can catch a big fish without an electric winch!"

"Then you should use an electric winch, it makes me feel distressed that you are tired."

The straightforward love words made Jiang Luoluo's eyes widen suddenly, and a series of goosebumps immediately appeared on his arms.

She rubbed her arms and complained in her mouth: "Why are you suddenly so numb, look at my arms, goosebumps are up." ”

But although he said this, the smile in his eyes was not missing at all, and it was obvious that his heart was still useful.

"Hehe~" Chu Mingcheng smiled and didn't speak again.

The fish is a bit big, and even his current physique is not to be taken lightly.

With the end of the rod on his stomach, he began to lift the rod and pull the fish back with the reel.

When the fish broke out, he grabbed the rod and froze.

I feel like I can pull it back, but it's not necessary.

When the first wave of powerful bursts is over, it's time to fish later.

At present, the fish has run more than 200 meters, which is not a long distance for tuna.

Then when he retracted the fishing line more than fifty meters, Jiang Luoluo also came with good news that he had caught the fish.

Looking at the extent of the bend of the fishing rod, it is definitely a big fish.

Tuna gather according to body size, and if he catches a big one here, Jiang Luoluo will naturally not catch a small one.
