Chapter 286: A Fishing Tournament That Is More Lively Than I Imagined
After finishing the meal, Chu Mingcheng cleaned up and returned to the wheelhouse, driving the Poseidon to find a suitable fishing spot.
Oriental perch is a deep-sea fish that generally lives in waters around 100 meters and prefers reefs.
The fish can theoretically grow up to one meter, but there is no specific data on how much it can be.
There is very little research on the oriental sea bass in the biological community, and there are almost no studies on it, and I don't know what is going on.
However, Chu Mingcheng has been fishing for so long, looking at the photos of the Oriental perch, you can guess the approximate weight according to the body length of the fish.
Its actual size is similar to that of sea bass, but it will be fatter, so the same one-meter fish, the oriental sea bass will weigh about 10 to 20 catties.
After just ten minutes, he found a suitable fishing spot and stopped in a water more than 120 meters deep.
Along the way, there are lines representing fish on the fish finder from time to time, but a large number of fish have been found at the bottom of the water at this location.
Noting down the coordinates, Chu Mingcheng did not stop the boat immediately, but stuffed some chopped mackerel bait into the crab pots and shrimp pots near the fishing spot, and then put them down one by one.
If the bottom of the water is full of rocks, you might be able to catch some lobsters.
The crab and shrimp pots were put away, and Chu Mingcheng sailed to the area with the most dense fish.
With a water depth of 100 meters, he didn't use an electric winch tonight, but chose a spinning wheel and an iron rod.
Hanging up the long line of slow-moving iron plates, Chu Mingcheng threw the iron plates into the water.
Today he did not twitch the rod as hard and rhythmically as before.
At a slower pace, he keeps the iron rod horizontal, and each time he lifts the rod, he will close one or less circles of line.
The elasticity of the iron plate rod is mainly used to bounce the iron plate, so that the iron plate has a natural fish attraction action with small jumps.
When the iron plate is raised, it attracts nearby fish, and the time of the trapper's attack is the state of the iron plate when it is stopped.
Today, I chose the long-line slow iron plate and used the slow iron plate fishing method, mainly because the water flow here is relatively fast, which is relatively suitable for this kind of fishing.
After repeated pumping and stopping a few times, a fierce pull force suddenly conducts from the fishing line to the fishing rod, causing the tip of the rod to bend into a bow in an instant.
As soon as Chu Mingcheng raised his left hand, he completed the thorn fish, and his right hand was not slow, and he quickly turned the shaker to retract the line.
But he was lucky, and the pull of the first fish was strong.
He had been fishing for tuna all this time, and he was used to using heavy rods, and he really couldn't estimate the weight of this fish for a while.
I just feel that the pull is good, and the fishing rod in my hand seems to be a little unbearable.
Of course, this is just his illusion, the rod is thinner and more sensitive, so that he can control this kind of fish that is much smaller at any time.
With the rod in his left hand, he makes a "Hugh" sound every time he pulls it up, and then he can take the opportunity to retract several laps of line.
No matter how strong the pull of the fish is, it can't compare to the tuna he caught before, so he fished it with ease.
A hundred meters of water is only five minutes, and the fish is pulled to the surface.
A fish that had turned brown in the light appeared on the surface of the water, its eyes bulging and almost bulging.
Chu Mingcheng looked at the fish's mouth, the internal organs did not spit out to the mouth, obviously the effect of water pressure was not great, that is, its eyes were originally like this.
For some reason, he always felt that these eyes were staring at him, and he had the illusion of "wisdom".
Shaking his head and shaking off this illusion, Chu Mingcheng copied the fish with a net.
Although it is brown all over, this one is indeed his main target this time, the oriental perch.
The length of the first one reached the level of seventy or eighty centimeters, so he cautiously used the net.
The fish is very fat, and the overall look looks like it's all fat.
Chu Mingcheng untied the iron plate, and then brought a scale and ruler.
Placing the ruler under the fish, he found that the fish was more than eighty centimeters long, thinking that Jiang Luoluo would let him shoot some videos, he hurriedly went back and put the camera on his head.
Then he picked up the fish and weighed it, thirty-six pounds and seven taels.
Chu Mingcheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the Oriental perch could have thirty-six catties at this length.
The unit price of such a large oriental perch can definitely be up to 1,000, so doesn't that mean that this fish can be sold for 36,000?
It's no worse than a two-hundred-pound bigeye tuna, but the tuna is so difficult to catch that it takes him an hour to catch one.
And this oriental perch was caught in less than 10 minutes, and he used iron plate bait.
Putting the fish in the refrigerator, he hurriedly went to the warehouse and took out three foam boxes, and then shoveled some crushed ice that had been prepared a long time ago and put it in.
Get ready, then throw the sizzling bait into the water and move on to the second one.
The fish gathering function is turned on to increase some efficiency.
This time, after waiting for two minutes, another fish took the bait.
But the pull was nowhere near as strong as the previous one, and in less than three minutes, the fish was pulled up.
This fish has a brown upper body and a silvery-white lower body, but it is actually an oriental perch.
The skin color of the oriental sea bass seems to change depending on the size, and this fish is less than 40 centimeters, which is just over 4 catties.
Throwing the fish into the foam box, he soon caught a third one.
But the third one is not an Oriental perch, but a deep-sea silver carp.
Although the bigeye silver carp is also a high-quality fish, it is only the lowest grade of high-quality fish, and there is a huge gap between it and the highest-grade fish such as oriental perch.
But it weighs six pounds and is worth six or seven hundred yuan.
The effect of sucking fish within a radius of fifteen meters further increases the density of fish at the bottom of the boat, and it is currently the peak period of fish activity, and Chu Mingcheng can catch a fish within ten catties in almost five or six minutes.
An hour passed, and he caught thirteen more, and the weight was basically about five or six catties, but even if the foam box was added casually, it was only half spread.
Because of his strength now, he bought a relatively large foam box, reaching 120 liters.
At his current efficiency, he wants to catch three boxes of fish, maybe all night.
Of the thirteen fish, only three are oriental perch, and the rest are all other deep-sea fish.
The efficiency of the iron plate was a bit slow, and Chu Mingcheng began to consider whether to replace it with two electric winks, and secondly, the efficiency of fishing and hunting was also very fast.
But after thinking about it in the end, he decided to choose fishing and hunting.
After fishing for an hour, the material is now available, so I don't have to shoot all the time.
So he took the camera down and put on his headlamp.
The others also carried two fishing ropes, a carbon spear gun, a small net bag, and a fish spear.
Compared with the fishing hanger, his diving hook is obviously more powerful, and today the fish are gathered, and the efficiency of fishing and hunting is naturally higher.
And after he goes back, he has to start preparing for the tuna fishing competition, and when Jiang Luoluo is by his side, he will not be able to go to the deep sea fishing and hunting.
Jumping into the water, Chu Mingcheng swam vertically to the bottom of the water.
It's extremely fast, diving to the bottom in just over a minute.
The headlamp shone around, and he found that there were really a lot of fish under the water, such as long-tailed sea bream, red friendfish, deep-sea silver carp, deep-sea grouper, etc.
It's just that there are unexpectedly few oriental perch, and only three were found as far as the eye can see, and they are not very big, and it is estimated that they are only five or six catties.
No wonder he caught a dozen of them, but there were so few of them.
Chu Mingcheng didn't care about the other deep-sea fish for the time being, mainly because these deep-sea fish basically didn't appear in the shallow water area except for a few groupers.
If you are fishing or hunting, the wound will be suspicious.
This is not the case with the oriental perch, and although it mostly stays at a depth of about 100 meters, it does not mean that it will not run into shallow water.
Secondly, most people don't know much about the oriental perch, just know that it is a high-grade fish, who cares about its living habits.
So Chu Mingcheng first got the three oriental perch he found and hung them on the fishing rope, and then collected all the groupers he saw before leaving here, continuing to look for other oriental perch and grouper.
The bottom of the water was covered with large and small reefs, and he found a lot of oriental perch in the crevices of the reef.
In just an hour, two lines were hung with oriental perch and a small portion of grouper.
The big ones were more than a dozen pounds, the small ones were four or five pounds, and the smaller ones he didn't touch.
Bringing the fish back to the boat, more than 20 fish, immediately filled the first foam box.
The fish in this box plus crushed ice is almost more than 200 catties.
Chu Mingcheng closed the lid and then carried the box of fish into the refrigerator cabin.
Then he went into the water again, changed direction, and swam north.
The terrain here is on the high side, and there are still reefs at the bottom of the water, and occasionally there will be some huge reefs, Chu Mingcheng not only found some Oriental perch hiding here, but also caught a few lobsters.
After hitting a piece of oriental perch of about fifteen catties under a huge reef, Chu Mingcheng swung his legs and swam above the reef.
Suddenly, a shattered wooden board appeared inside the light.
Chu Mingcheng reached out and grabbed it suspiciously, but the wooden board was much softer than beeswax, and the position where he grabbed it was directly crushed, and he knew that it had corroded on the bottom of the sea for an unknown amount of time.
He continued to find more broken planks and even broken logs.
After swimming for about thirty meters, the owner of these broken wooden planks finally appeared in front of him, a huge wooden shipwreck that had overturned.
Chu Mingcheng's heart suddenly beat, this look is an ancient shipwreck, if there is something in it, then wouldn't he have it?
Where do you need to think about buying a house?
Just go straight to it all!
It's just that this location still belongs to the domestic sea area, and theoretically this ancient shipwreck belongs to the property of the state.
And if he reports, according to the value of the items inside, he can get a small mouthful of soup.
The value of this small mouthful of soup may only be 50,000 at the lowest, and the highest estimate is around 1 million, and it is unrealistic to go any higher.
But no matter what, Chu Mingcheng had to enter the ship to observe before speaking.
Half an hour later, however, he swam out of the boat depressed.
There was nothing in the boat, only some aquatic creatures in it, such as octopus lobsters and the like.
I didn't see any treasure or anything, not even a corpse, as if someone had looted it a long time ago.
】
Not only that, but the appearance of the ship is also a bit strange, much like the pirate ship in the movie.
The bow of the ship is particularly long, which is a bit different from the ancient shipwreck in Huaxia, Chu Mingcheng suspects that this may be an ancient shipwreck in Xiaori, after all, it is close.
But where exactly is the ship, he has to go back and check it on the Internet.
After wandering around the neighborhood again, he found no second shipwreck, so he had to go fish hunting first.
I don't know how long it took, Chu Mingcheng returned to the Poseidon with a large handful of fish and spread the fish into the last empty foam box.
The last two boxes of fish are almost evenly split between oriental perch and grouper, and although the search area has been expanded, the number of oriental perch is still small.
After moving all the fish into the refrigerated cabin, he first looked at the mobile phone he had put in the toolbox and found that there were two missed calls on it, both of which were from Jiang Luoluo.
Seeing that the time on it was already one o'clock in the morning, Chu Mingcheng was a little puzzled, isn't it time for the watch to be broken!
If the watch had been there, at least he wouldn't have been busy until late.
Jiang Luoluo made a call at ten o'clock, and another one at eleven o'clock.
But now it was too late, and Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to send a message explaining the situation.
After not replying to the message for a long time, he knew that Jiang Luoluo had fallen asleep.
So I went to take a shower and changed my clothes, and then lay down on the bed.
Just being busy and not sleepy for a while, Chu Mingcheng simply checked some information about the ancient shipwreck he saw.
Through understanding, he found that the shipwreck was really very likely to be an ancient shipwreck of Xiaori.
"Could it be a tribute ship from the Tang Dynasty?"
Chu Mingcheng muttered suspiciously, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong.
It is impossible for Xiao Ri to go to the Tang Dynasty in this position, and they can directly set off from the west to enter Huaxia.
The distance is close, and the risk is small.
When Chu Mingcheng saw that some of the islands in the north and east of the treasure island were the eastern route of the Maritime Silk Road, he suddenly had some guesses in his heart.
Those islands are just transit points, and there is a great possibility that the goods need to be transported back on a small day, and there is indeed a high possibility of taking the waterway.
It's just that the location of the wreck is a little wrong, but what the specific situation is, Chu Mingcheng is not a researcher of history and archaeology, so naturally he can't guess.
But through this incident, he also knew the benefits of deep-sea diving.
If luck breaks out and he encounters a small day ancient shipwreck full of goods, wouldn't he send it?
......
The next day, Chu Mingcheng put away the crab pot and only harvested a few lobsters.
He had a hunch last night when he was diving and hunting, there were no crabs under the water, only occasionally he encountered some lobsters.
During the day, I continued to change places for fishing and hunting, but it was a little inconvenient to not have a diving watch.
And there are not many oriental perch in this area, and after a long time, the vitality of a small part of Gan's giant crab and sea crayfish has deteriorated significantly, Chu Mingcheng decided to go back and rest for a few days, and wait for the fishing tournament to begin.
On the way back, he contacted Chen Yang first, and there were still ten days left before the fishing tournament, and they were going to stay at sea for another five days.
Therefore, Chu Mingcheng specially went over to meet with them and asked them to help take care of Xiaomi's family.
He himself planned to stop the ship at the port of Modu after selling the goods, and then take a plane back to Xiashi.
After handing over the cat to Chen Yang and them, Chu Mingcheng drove the boat directly to the dock over there in Wen City.
The customers have already made an appointment, and this time the seafood is the main one compared to tuna.
The Middle East perch is more than 300 catties, and the price is a little different depending on the size, and a total of 167,000 were sold.
Chu Mingcheng now has many customers, and most of the oriental perch is only four or five catties, and in the end, it is not enough, and the customers are directly asked for half of it.
Those who open restaurants can only divide up those who are more than ten catties.
The remaining deep-sea fish also has more than 300 catties, which is much cheaper, and in the end it was only sold for more than 50,000 yuan.
The vitality of the sea shrimp is good, there are eighty-seven catties left, some of the original more than one hundred catties were eaten by Chu Mingcheng, and some of the vitality was not enough to be taken by him to freeze.
He didn't sell the frozen ones either, and kept them for his own people to eat.
Eighty-seven catties of sea shrimp were sold for 25,000 catties, and the actual unit price was 281 catties.
Gan's giant crab, Chu Mingcheng originally thought that it would be taken away by the owners of the restaurant, but the other individual customers showed great interest.
Originally, a total of fifty-five were caught, and one was eaten by himself, and six were taken to freeze due to lack of vitality.
There are still forty-eight of them with good vitality, of which forty-two are more than ten catties.
A total of 632 catties, the unit price is 500 yuan a catty, and the sale is 316,000.
The main reason for being able to sell so much was that all the goods that Chu Mingcheng grabbed at that time were large goods, which increased the total weight.
The crab gathering place I found, if I catch it two or three times, it is estimated that it will not be so big, and I can only catch some small ones when the time comes, and the price will be much cheaper.
There were 12 smaller and frozen ones, and the customers bought them all, selling a total of 32,000.
In addition to tuna, Chu Mingcheng earned more than 590,000 points for other seafood, almost 600,000 yuan.
It is mainly the high unit price of Gan's giant crab and oriental sea bass that makes Chu Mingcheng earn so much.
However, Gan's giant crab can't be sold so well every time, and individual customers will buy it today to be fresh.
After tasting it, there is a high probability that I will not buy it again next time, unless I have a treat or something.
Whether this kind of crab in the restaurant is good to sell or not, it is not sure at present, if it is easy to sell, then there will be a long-term sales channel in the future.
In the end, seventy or eighty catties of yellowfin tuna, seven of the restaurants each asked for one, and the price given by Chu Mingcheng was forty-five yuan a catty.
Let them pick their own fish, and if they can pick a fatter one, they are lucky.
This kind of bulk sale is a fixed price, and it is impossible to specifically test the fat content and calculate the value of the tuna like the Modu side.
Seven yellowfin tuna, a total of 534 catties, sold for 20,000.
There were still thirteen yellowfin tuna left in the refrigerated hold (one was eaten), as well as two bigeye tuna of more than 300 catties and three bigeye tuna of 200 catties.
Leaving the Wenshi dock, Chu Mingcheng hesitated again and again, and finally did not go home, and went directly to the magic capital.
There are still ten days left, and then he can go home with Jiang Luoluo for two days, and go to Hangzhou for two days.
Chu Mingcheng had just left the port of Wenshi for about ten minutes, when a fishing boat of about sixteen meters slowly approached and stopped at the dock.
Then, four men and one woman came down from the boat.
If Chu Mingcheng was still here, he would definitely be able to recognize that the woman among them was Yao Xin, who had taken him to fish.
And among the four men, there is also a person he is familiar with, He Zheng.
It was the middle-aged man who had waived Chu Mingcheng's boat fare twice and took him to fish for hairtail fish and big yellow croaker.
After three of the men left with their fishing tackle, Yao Xin came to He Zheng's side and whispered, "Brother Zheng, can these three people do it?" ”
He Zheng sighed and shook his head: "It's almost meaningful, the minimum weight of tuna required by the fishing competition is also 100 catties, and they can't grasp it after a long time." ”
"But it's much better than the previous group, so it's really not good for them!"
"In this case, then I'll call a few more people tomorrow and continue to see!" Yao Xin also had a bit of a headache.
The preparation time for this tuna competition is too tight, and the two of them know a lot of fishing circles.
It's just that most of them have the strength to form their own teams and want to fight, which makes it a little difficult for them to find three strong teammates.
Of course, the main reason is that they are very demanding.
But it also has to be treated like this, after all, there is already a woman among the teammates who can be in charge of logistics, so the others are naturally as strong as possible, mainly responsible for fishing.
He Zheng is also searching for who else is suitable among the people he knows.
Suddenly, a handsome figure appeared in his mind, which made his eyes light up.
"By the way, what about the little brother you used to know? I think that little brother is good, with a good physique and good luck. At the beginning, when he was a novice, he was no worse than a veteran, and he caught more fish than others. ”
"You're talking about Ah Cheng, he went to Xiamen City to develop, I don't know what his situation is now, maybe he won't fish anymore." After being reminded, Yao Xin also thought of Chu Mingcheng. After all, he is a rare handsome guy, and he is naturally impressed.
But her expression was a little embarrassed, mainly because she didn't have enough contact at the beginning, and the other party ran away from Xiamen City, and then the two sides broke off contact.
In fact, she was hesitant to ask two days ago, but after thinking about it again, she finally didn't ask, mainly worried that the other party had forgotten her.
"Why don't you ask, anyway, we need to test it now, if the other party is willing to come. We took him out to sea to fish and see how it went. If it's suitable, invite it, and forget if it's not suitable. ”
He Zheng asked Chu Mingcheng to come, mainly because he felt that he was lucky. When you go out to sea for tuna or sailfish, luck is sometimes more important than experience.
Yao Xin heard him say this, and finally nodded, turned out the mobile phone number that he hadn't called for a long time, and dialed it.
Chu Mingcheng in the cab was a little surprised when he saw the call, but the other party helped him a lot at the beginning, so he immediately answered it.
Seeing that the mobile phone was connected, Yao Xin immediately asked, "Hey, is it Ah Cheng?" ”
"Well, it's me, Sister Xin, I haven't been in touch for a long time!"
"Someone went to Xiamen City and there was no news at all, who is to blame?"
"Haha, my fault, I'll go back to Wenshi in a few days, and I'll invite you to a big dinner then."
"That's it. By the way, how are you in Xiashi..."
Yao Xin didn't come up to mention the matter of fishing, but first politely inquired about the other party's situation.
At the beginning, she knew that Chu Mingcheng was still doing fishing when he went to Xiashi, but nearly a year had passed, and she was not sure whether she was still fishing for the public.
If she didn't fish, then she definitely wouldn't invite again this time.
Fortunately, she was very satisfied with the result, and found out that Chu Mingcheng was still fishing, so she sent him an invitation to go fishing together.
"It's... Sister Xin, I will stay at home for two days when I come back this time, accompany my parents, and then I will go to my parents-in-law's house in Hangzhou, I really don't have time! ”
Chu Mingcheng was a little embarrassed, but he still refused neatly.
Although Yao Xin gave him some help at the beginning, he naturally wouldn't agree to the fishing that delayed his trip.
"Ah Cheng, don't be in a hurry to refuse. This time, the magic capital held a tuna fishing tournament with a maximum prize of 500,000 yuan. When the time comes, if we win, everyone will be able to get 100,000, and I need someone with strength on my side, so I want you to come and try it. ”
Yao Xin heard that he refused, and had to tell him the reason first.
I didn't say it before, because if I didn't pass the test fishing, I wouldn't offend the other party, and I didn't want to explain. Now that I've said it, and I propose to try fishing first, I won't offend either, but I can't take care of the other party's mood if I don't pass.
Chu Mingcheng was very stunned, he didn't expect the other party to participate in this event.
This made him realize that the first tuna fishing competition in China may be much bigger than he imagined.
But he had to compete himself, and he had to refuse.
The reason was also explained to Yao Xin, and after hanging up the phone, Chu Mingcheng checked it on the Internet.
Then I found out that many of the champions of the fishing tournament had signed up for this time.
For example, Master Deng, who has long since stopped participating, and Master Liu actually signed up this time.
But that's right, it was all a puddle before, and this time I played sea fishing, and the challenge was tuna, as long as there was a strong fishing veteran, it was impossible to miss it.
In addition, there are many opportunities to appear in this fishing event, which can increase your popularity and help your career, so there is no reason not to participate.
Not only these masters, but even many Internet celebrities have signed up for the competition.
Among them is Master Deng's "apprentice" Nie Yu......
The tuna trading center also hereby publicized, so that the vast majority of domestic fishing veterans know about this event.
Secondly, some of the latter conflicts cannot be written, and all this part of the content must be deleted.
I've sorted out the outline today.,Now I can only write about some competitions.,The male protagonist has been relatively low-key.,After that, I'll write some games.,A little pretend!
