"Ah Cheng, there is a coral reef at nine o'clock!" Jiang Luoluo, who was holding a telescope, suddenly walked into the cab to remind.

It is now around five o'clock in the afternoon, and the Poseidon in cruise mode has been sailing continuously for more than eight hours, but it has only traveled about 130 nautical miles.

There were still at least four hours to go before his destination, so Chu Mingcheng decided to find a place to catch other fish for the time being, and see if he could add some experience points to the aquatic illustrated book first.

You might also be able to get some live bait to increase the chances of the tuna being hooked.

Jiang Luoluo heard that he was going to find a suitable fishing spot first, so he took the telescope to the roof of the building to help observe.

No, I found a place and immediately came down to inform.

"Nine o'clock? Okay, I got it! Chu Mingcheng got the prompt, and immediately turned the steering wheel and turned the Poseidon to go to the coral reef that was discovered.

"Ah Cheng, why did you suddenly think about coming to fish for reef fish today?" Jiang Luoluo sat beside him and asked the doubts in his heart.

After all, in the competition, everyone else hurried to catch tuna, but he inexplicably wasted energy and time.

"I don't have to fish for reef fish, in fact, I can find a suitable spot to fish for deep-sea fish, it's not that I haven't encountered tuna yet, and it's useless to rush for an hour or two."

Chu Mingcheng naturally wouldn't mention the upgrading of the Aquatic Illustrated Book, but there was nothing wrong with his explanation.

Jiang Luoluo nodded when he heard this, but he didn't think deeply and asked more.

Now that it's almost dinner time and it's time to prepare dinner, I asked, "I'll do what I want to eat in the evening." ”

Chu Mingcheng thought for a while: "Why don't you dry lentils at night?" I dived to catch a few lobsters. ”

Spearspears and spears are not there, and it is naturally difficult for him to dive and catch fish.

But there must be many other aquatic creatures in the reef, all kinds of shrimp, snails and shellfish, and many of these he has not caught, so he can try his luck and increase his experience points.

And diving he can also roughly observe whether there are any uncaught fish on this side of the reef, catch it if he can, and try his luck with fishing if he can't.

When Jiang Luoluo heard that he wanted dried lentils, he couldn't help but smash his mouth, and he was also a little greedy.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, you go and prepare first, burn some charcoal, and we'll eat on deck at night." Chu Mingcheng hurriedly waved his hand and refused, how could he hang up when someone was around?

Jiang Luoluo didn't force it, nodded and went to the kitchen to prepare first.

The main food is lobster, but other side dishes still need to be prepared.

Chu Mingcheng soon came to the destination to stop the ship and lower the anchor.

His main purpose this time was not to hunt and fish, plus it was summer, so he didn't wear a wetsuit.

He pretended to put on a snorkel and flippers all the way to the stern.

Of course, the live fish buckle and the only remaining noose that can catch fish are still there, what if you encounter some fish that are hiding and not moving?

Xiao Heiye had never seen flippers, and was very curious to follow him all the time, and the little tail wagged fast.

Xiao Hardware has a relatively stable personality, although he is also the age of curiosity, but he just watched from a distance and did not get close.

Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng reached out and directly grabbed the lifeblood of Xiao Heiye's neck and lifted it up.

"What, you're going to swim with me too?"

Little Black Night was lifted up and looked at him motionlessly, with watery eyes.

Chu Mingcheng thought that the Labrador was a good swimmer, so he tried to slowly put its limbs into the water, drowning a dog's paw.

Originally, he thought that Xiao Heiye would scream in fear, but he didn't know that it was swinging on all fours, and it seemed to be very funny.

"It's kind of interesting, maybe when you grow up and train and train, you can really go into the water to catch fish!"

At present, Xiao Heiye still has to be vaccinated and dewormed, and he is still too young to take a bath, so Chu Mingcheng put him back on the deck and did not throw it into the water.

Chase the dog away, and turn around and close the door as you walk down the steps, lest the bear child jump down.

Swimming into the water, Chu Mingcheng, who hadn't dived for a long time, seemed very comfortable scurrying around in the water.

Feeling his body move, he swam to the reef.

Today's seawater visibility is average, about ten meters, Chu Mingcheng because of the ability to swim freely, a little farther, almost twelve meters.

Diving was already very good to have this visibility, and he swam along the way and found many fish that he had never caught.

It's a pity that they are all fish with no economic value, and occasionally some of them have been caught, so they are not worth his trouble for the time being.

When he almost reached the vicinity of the coral reef, Chu Mingcheng dived directly and began to dive to the bottom of the water.

Later, you can go directly from the bottom of the water to the side of the reef and look for lobsters.

However, when he reached the bottom, he noticed a school of fish swimming slowly above the sand bed.

Chu Mingcheng glanced at the diving watch, his current depth was fifty-one meters, so the depth of the water layer where the fish were active below was about sixty meters.

The head of these fish is a bit square, because the bottom of the water is very dark, he can't see exactly what kind of fish it is, he can only see that the largest of these fish is about 50 centimeters.

According to normal logic, these fish should have economic value.

Now that there was no speargun, Chu Mingcheng did not rush forward, but swam back to the surface of the water to note the location, and then he continued to swim towards the coral reef.

Considering that Jiang Luoluo was already preparing dinner, he didn't waste too much time and quickly caught four lobsters.

The two green lobsters were not big, and they were just over a pound, but he encountered two splendid lobsters weighing seven or eight pounds.

When catching these two splendid lobsters, Chu Mingcheng hesitated for a while.

This thing is a protected animal, but under the influence of his plug-in, it is estimated that the splendid lobster will soon be removed from the scope of protected animals in the near future.

The two green lobsters actually don't have much meat, and there are two splendid lobsters that will not be short of lobster meat to eat at night.

If he hadn't cheated, he would have been released.

But there was a plug-in, and he felt that he was qualified to eat one or two, so he caught them all.

When it was caught, one of them was a female shrimp, and when it turned over, its belly was densely covered with seeds.

In this case, no matter how mad Chu Mingcheng was, he would not eat it, so he chose to release it directly.

As for the other half of it, I'm sorry, he chose to put it in the net pocket first.

But eating protected animals, he was a little hesitant in his heart.

So he quickly searched the reef again, but unfortunately found no other lobsters, and only caught a very lucky sea red spot, about three catties.

In this way, without substitutes, this splendid lobster can only sacrifice itself to fill their stomachs.

When he really wanted to eat, Chu Mingcheng still wouldn't continue to struggle.

During the period of catching lobsters, Chu Mingcheng also caught two shellfish that he didn't know, as well as a conch.

The experience value of the Aquatic Illustrated Book has been successfully increased by three, and it has come to seventy, and now if you catch ten more aquatic products, you can upgrade to level four.

However, before returning to the ship, he chose to release shellfish and conch, not much meat, and the quantity was not much, so there was no point in eating.

Jiang Luoluo had already set up a table on the deck and lit a charcoal stove.

Next to the charcoal stove there are dried tofu, enoki mushrooms and baby cabbage.

Seeing him come back, Jiang Luoluo smiled and said, "How many have you caught?" ”

"Guaranteed to blow your mind!" Chu Mingcheng smiled mysteriously, walked over and opened the net pocket.

Jiang Luoluo stretched out his head and looked: "Wow, it's so big!" ”

"Hey, and the sea red spots, that's great!"

Just looking at it, she suddenly noticed that something was wrong, this lobster that she exaggerated was a little familiar with the color and texture.

The next moment, her eyes widened suddenly: "Ah Cheng, this is a splendid lobster, you can't eat it!" ”

"It's okay, in fact, fishing boats that go out to sea often catch some protected animals, and these can't be sold. Even if they are released, they will not survive, and in the end they can only eat them in tears at sea. ”

"In addition to the first-class protected animals, there are many more below the second-class level than you think."

"I just looked around and didn't find any other lobsters. These two little green dragons couldn't stuff their teeth, so they simply brought this splendid lobster back. ”

"Actually, there is a female, but the belly is full of lobster roe, and I released it."

Jiang Luoluo reached out and rubbed her temples, and from Chu Mingcheng's words, she heard what the other party meant.

Two words, want to eat. But there is one thing to say, she also wants to eat.

But she didn't know that the fish resources in China were rising rapidly, so she had some scruples in her heart.

It's just that seeing that Chu Mingcheng kept looking at herself, she had no choice but to sigh: "Eat, eat, don't take it as an example." After the lobster shell is killed, throw it directly into the sea, don't stay on the boat. ”

"Don't worry, in the future, I will go to the high seas to catch some splendid lobsters and release them in the domestic waters, so that I will make up for it?"

Chu Mingcheng joked with a smile, but he didn't know that because he wanted to eat protected animals, he unknowingly affected the ability he gained after upgrading the aquatic illustrated.

Jiang Luoluo rolled his eyes when he heard this, and went to the high seas to catch and release him, this behavior is not an appropriate staff?

As for the splendid lobster, they all decided to eat it, so she naturally won't bother anymore.

Let Chu Mingcheng rinse it, carry the net pocket by himself, take a knife to process the lobster and fish, and cut the meat into pieces and put them on the plate.

After a while, Chu Mingcheng came out of the shower and began to put the pan on the charcoal stove with dried lentils.

Jiang Luoluo was idle, so he sandwiched two pieces of lobster meat and cut them into small pieces to tease the dog.

"Little night, sit down." She crouched in front of the little night and ordered.

However, the little black night flicked his tail and arched around her, and his nose went straight to the lobster meat in her hand.

Jiang Luoluo ordered several times in a row, and it was useless to sit down in the little dark night with his own hands.

In desperation, she had no choice but to give up and tease Xiao Hardware.

It can only be said that the pastoral dog that survives the fittest is indeed very famous, Jiang Luoluo was afraid that the little hardware would not understand it like Xiao Heiye, so he personally stepped forward to hold it down and let it sit down.

After the small hardware is cooperated, feed a lobster grain.

In the end, she was very surprised by the cleverness of the little hardware, and it only took a short time for it to understand the meaning of sitting down and getting up.

The Labrador is actually very intelligent, but it is obviously much more mischievous than the more well-behaved country dog.

If you want to train, you have to put more effort into it.

After enjoying a delicious dinner, Chu Mingcheng did not rest and digest his food, but drove the boat to the location where he had just found the fish.

Jiang Luoluo originally wondered why she didn't set off, but came here instead, and after seeing the fish displayed on the fish finder, she immediately understood the reason.

Since there are schools of fish, it is impossible to miss them even if they are not tuna.

Although other fish are not recorded in the leaderboard, there is no limit to the competition, and you can still catch them and sell them for money.

Many players will catch other fish to regain their health even if they don't come across tuna or marlin.

The two moved quickly and soon set up two fishing rods at the stern of the boat.

The fish were at a depth of 60 meters, so Chu Mingcheng tied shrimp pots and stuffed them with thawed Antarctic shrimp.

The bait is also Antarctic shrimp, after all, the fish is not big, and other baits are not very suitable.

It's dark now, and it's the peak time for the fish to come out at night to feed.

Soon after the two of them put down the bait, a fish took the bait.

Both rods hit a fish, and the interval between the front and back was only a dozen seconds.

Sixty meters deep, the fish is not big, Chu Mingcheng is very easy to pull up.

Although he was more than ten seconds late, he caught the fish first.

A pale pink tile-headed fish appeared on the deck, Jiang Luoluo had never seen this kind of fish, and when he was busy with his hands, he didn't forget to turn around and ask: "Ah Cheng, what kind of fish is this?" ”

"White gansea bream, scientific name white square head fish." When Chu Mingcheng spoke, he took out his mobile phone and checked the price on the Internet, "The market price of this fish is about sixty pounds, and it should be twenty more expensive for us fishers, which is okay." ”

At the price of sixty, it is naturally not a high-quality fish, which is why he opened the function of gathering fish, but the fish was Jiang Luoluo's first.

"It turns out that this is white mountain bream, and I heard that it tastes good."

After a while, Jiang Luoluo finally pulled the fish up, which was also a white mountain bream.

She is even smaller, less than forty centimeters in length, and it is estimated that it is only two or three catties.

"We'll know if it tastes good or not, and since we've encountered a school of fish tonight, we'll catch more."

Chu Mingcheng put all the fish into a foam box covered with crushed ice, this fish can rarely be seen alive in the market, and it is usually chilled.

Therefore, the price of living and dying is about the same, and there is no need for him to raise it.

There is a big gap between live fish and dead fish, and they are generally found in groupers or some of the best reef fish.

For example, thousands of pounds of rat spots, thousands when alive. As long as he dies, even if he just dies, his value will drop sharply, becoming eighty or one hundred pounds.

It doesn't matter if the fish is alive or dead, and the price will not change because of this.

The reputation of white mountain bream is not obvious, but the cost performance is good, Chu Mingcheng is ready to fish more tonight to give back to his customers.

After this year's fishing ban, some customers often complained that he only made tuna, leaving them with nowhere to buy fish.

In fact, other fish in Chuming City are still being sold, but the quantity is indeed much less than before, and with the increase in the number of customers, everyone can naturally get less.

As a result, some of the earliest regular customers could not buy more and save them for a while as before.

Tonight, he encountered white sweet sea bream, and Chu Mingcheng felt that he might be able to go fishing for some more hairtail fish, so as not to have no fish to eat in the group every day.

Time passed slowly, and with the efforts of the two, they successfully caught a box and a half of white mountain bream at half past ten in the evening, about one hundred and twenty catties.

The fish at the bottom of the water are not very large, and since the fish have left after the peak feeding season, they have not gone up for more than ten minutes.

"Looks like there are no more fish!" Jiang Luoluo said while collecting the fishing line.

Chu Mingcheng saw that it was almost eleven o'clock now, so he didn't plan to change the fishing spot and continue: "Well, let's rest early tonight, and take care of our spirits to catch big fish tomorrow." ”

"Well, I'll go first." Jiang Luoluo nodded, and just as the words came out, his hand suddenly sank, and there was a fish cut, "Dizzy, I'm fishing again!" ”

"Looks like you're in luck." Chu Mingcheng also collected the fishing line and said with a smile.

Jiang Luoluo shrugged, ready to catch the fish, but after she tried hard to pull the fish to the surface, a sudden behemoth suddenly appeared on the surface of the water and bit the fish.

"Ah~"

The fishing rod in Jiang Luoluo's hand was pulled by a huge force and directly took off, and the missing rope on the side of the boat suddenly became tight.

Chu Mingcheng was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Jiang Luoluo away.

The next moment, the taut fishing line suddenly rebounded and hit the side of the boat.

If Jiang Luoluo was still in the position just now, maybe the fishing line would hit her.

Seeing this scene, she patted her chest with palpitations, and was shocked: "What was that just now, it's a big one, it looks a bit like the big swordfish you caught before?" ”

Chu Mingcheng grabbed her hand and checked it, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that it was okay.

Immediately afterward, his eyes began to light up, and he replied, "It seems to be a marlin, and I can't see it very clearly." It looks like there's no rest at night, I'll go get the bait out, and you'll help with the nest later. ”

Tonight, I was lucky to catch a white sea bream, and when I was about to go back to rest, there was a marlin.

He could see it clearly just now, and it felt like it was indeed a marlin rather than a swordfish, and the long beak seemed to be sharper than flattened.

And the fins are also a little different from the previous swordfish, but the difference is not very big, and he is not sure.

But with such a large size, except for marlin or swordfish, no matter what kind of fish he catches, he will earn it.

He hurriedly went to the refrigerated cabin and picked up two boxes of bait to thaw, Jiang Luoluo was not idle, picked up the killing knife and chopped three white sweet sea bream caught tonight.

Chop all the fish into pieces and throw them into the water to keep the marlin before it escapes.

They don't know how many marlin are on the bottom, but even if it's just one, they won't lose tonight.

This cost is nothing compared to the size of the marlin just now.

Chu Mingcheng was not idle after taking out the bait, pulled back the fishing rod that Jiang Luoluo had taken off, and then put away his own fishing rod.

He hurried back to the tool room with two fishing rods, and when he came out, he brought a heavy rod for catching big fish.

In the past, when I fished for tuna, I had already made the line and everything, but now I can tie the lead sinker and a large hook.

Not to mention sea fishing, the consumption of fishing hooks and some small accessories is not small.

After the hooks were tied, Chu Mingcheng saw that the frozen bait needed a lot of time to thaw, so he simply picked a small white sweet sea bream and asked Jiang Luoluo to split it in two with a fish-killing knife.

Then pick up half of the fish and hang it on the hook and throw it directly into the water, if the marlin is attracted back by the fish, you will definitely not miss this half of the white mountain bream.

Luckily, they caught so many white sea bream tonight, and if they hadn't suddenly encountered these fast-swimming marlin, they would have been ready and the fish would have disappeared.

Jiang Luoluo did not continue to harm the white mountain bream, but directly began to chop the bait.

The killing knife chopped the glued bait, and the ice slag and minced meat suddenly flew wildly.

Because Chu Mingcheng had just taken the fishing rod and forgot to close the door, Xiao Heiye ran out of the cabin.

As a result, as soon as it came out, it saw Jiang Luoluo's fierce knife chopping on the bait one after another.

Xiao Heiye was frightened and immediately let out a terrible scream, and a puddle came directly under his body, and trembling his little short legs and hind legs.

Jiang Luoluo couldn't cry or laugh, and got up to drive it back.

As a result, as soon as she stood up, Xiao Heiye ran back to the cabin with her tail between her legs without looking back, and the whole way was miserable, as if she had been hoked eight hundred times.

"Yes, the shadow of Xiao Heiye's life can't be erased!" Chu Mingcheng stepped forward speechlessly and picked up the water pipe and washed away the pool left by the little black night.

"Who told you not to close the door." Jiang Luoluo closed the door of the cabin and came back to continue chopping bait, "Xiao Heiye is so naughty, it's okay to be scared." ”

Chu Mingcheng nodded thoughtfully, there must be a fierce person in the family.

Then, he picked up the bait chopped by Jiang Luoluo and sprinkled it directly into the water one by one.

Tuna fishing is no different from marlin fishing, both require plenty of bait to attract them.

Just sprinkled a bucket, and the rod still didn't move.

Chu Mingcheng saw Jiang Luoluo put down the fish-killing knife to soothe his wrist, so he took the fish-killing knife and said, "Luoluo, you go and scatter the bait, I'll chop it!" ”

"Hmm."

After changing the position, Chu Mingcheng chopped the bait quickly, and at the same time, Jiang Luoluo directly sprinkled two buckets of fish, plus the bucket in front, it is estimated that fifty or sixty catties were sprinkled.

But don't look at fifty or sixty pounds, it's a lot, and if you sprinkle it into the water, it will form a small fish nest.

Sometimes it is normal for tuna anglers to cast hundreds of pounds or more of bait in order to attract tuna.

Without such a huge fish nest, how could tuna be attracted to it.

After three buckets of bait, neither of them stopped, still doing their job silently.

However, Jiang Luoluo can now reduce the amount of bait, the fish nest has been formed, and there is no need to continue to scatter a large amount, it will become a waste.

But at this moment, the sound of "squeak" suddenly sounded, which was a rapid sound when the fishing line in the drum wheel was pulled and the unloading force was forced to turn.

Jiang Luoluo's eyes were quick, and as soon as he threw the bucket in his hand, he immediately grabbed the fishing rod bent into a half-moon and lifted it up hard, and grabbed the crank that had been forced to turn in reverse.

"Crunch crunch ~"

The rod was under unprecedented pressure, and the line seemed to be tensed, and it kept trembling slightly, and all the water droplets on it were shattered and bounced into mist.

Jiang Luoluo's little face flushed, and she had never been exposed to this kind of pressure again.

Fortunately, the next moment, she was surrounded by a pair of powerful arms, and Chu Mingcheng came behind her in time.

He grabbed the fishing rod with one hand to help Jiang Luoluo reduce the pressure, and opened a little thread cup with the other hand to reduce the unloading force and release the pressure of the drum.

"Luo Luo, you help me catch the fishing rod together, I want to take the fishing rod out of the fishing hole."

Chu Mingcheng could see from the situation of the fishing line and fishing rod that the fish caught this time was not smaller than the swordfish last time.

At least 700,000 bluefin tuna have not been auctioned to this extent.

He had to take the rod out of the fishing hole, naturally because he wanted to quickly consume the fish's strength.

Otherwise, a thousand-meter fishing line can't stop the fish, and the Poseidon is too big to catch up with it like the original boat.

Therefore, he could only rely on manpower to fight against this big fish, and with Jiang Luoluo's help, Chu Mingcheng believed that he could successfully catch the fish.
