Chapter 365: Tierra del Fuego Ice Fishing
Tierra del Fuego wasn't far away, but the speed of the boat was slow, and it took a day of relaxation on the boat to refresh yourself before reaching your destination.
"Ah Cheng, you said that there are king crabs in the north and near the Antarctic in the south, why don't we have them in the waters of our country?"
"This thing is flooding so fast, if there is one in China, won't we be able to achieve crab freedom?"
Zhang Wei is now in the seafood business, and he can be said to be very greedy for this king crab, and this thing is very profitable!
Chu Mingcheng's heart moved when he heard this, thinking about the possibility of king crab release.
But in the end, he shook his head, the waters of Huaxia are not suitable for the survival of king crabs, even if there is a bonus from his plug-in, he may not be able to survive.
Moreover, the domestic sea also has its own ecology, and the strong creature of king crab will undoubtedly destroy the local ecology.
"No matter how good the marine resources are, they can't match the good climate of our country's continent, which is suitable for human habitation. Don't think about what you have and don't have, an income of tens of millions a year can't satisfy you? ”
"Who would hate having a lot of money!" Zhang Wei pouted, "You think I'm an old horse?" ”
Chen Yang smiled when he heard this: "I'm not interested in money, you let him lose it!" ”
Chu Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, he actually didn't care about money now, and his career naturally developed to this extent.
But if he was allowed to return to the starting point, he would definitely not be able to accept this gap.
So you can not be interested in money, but you must not be without.
Now they all have three distant-water fishing vessels over 40 meters and five domestic fishing vessels of 20 meters.
The monthly profits are already very impressive, especially with the tuna fishing locations he provides, which makes them very profitable.
Zhang Wei just collected a catch and resold it for a year, and there was almost a profit of tens of millions, and this income will continue to increase over time, not to mention Chu Mingcheng, who has so many ships.
These were all when he was traveling, Chen Yang and Zhang Wei helped to buy and recruit people, and expanded the fleet.
Of course, with such a huge business chain, they also registered a fishing company and paid taxes reasonably.
Because of the large amount of taxes paid every month, the local government has also given them great convenience, and even given some convenient policies for deep-sea fishing, encouraging them to go to the high seas and even other countries to fish as much as possible.
For example, in Argentina, there are domestic fishermen who catch giant fish here.
Chu Mingcheng naturally earns more than Chen Yang and Zhang Wei, but he is also accumulating funds at present, planning to buy a super fishing boat and enter the Antarctic waters to specialize in fishing toothfish or Antarctic krill.
But this has to wait, mainly if you can't buy a suitable second-hand boat, and secondly, it will take time to fall overboard if you buy a new boat.
The price of such a ship is at least in the unit of 100 million, and Chu Mingcheng doesn't have that much money at present.
But the local government provided the loan business, and he did not insist on the full amount as before, which is unrealistic.
One or two hundred million is okay with his income, how can hundreds of millions or even two or three hundred million be paid in one lump sum with working capital, even if there is, he will not do it.
Chu Mingcheng naturally thought about king crab fishing, but it was difficult for them to get the fishing quota in the Bering Sea, and it would be very troublesome to be caught.
There are also king crabs in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, but he is too bothered to look for them.
For fishing, none of the three women was very interested.
But for the king crab, they were even more active than the men in Chu Mingcheng, and the fishing rods, small nets and other tools were ready early.
When they came to the suitable crab fishing area, they found that there were still many tourists fishing here.
Some of them, like them, rented a boat to fish in the sea, while others made a hole in the thick ice.
Chu Mingcheng and a few people discussed it, and felt that they could fish at any time on the boat, so they would try ice fishing for king crab today.
But before that, they put two small crab pots dedicated to catching king crabs.
This crab pot was bought locally and can be used at sea.
A big crab pot like that can't be used here, and there is also an area for professional king crab fishing.
Put down the cage, there is a float on the cage and you will not be mistaken.
Then they took the assault boat they had brought with them to a thick layer of ice.
Instead of immediately opening holes in the ice, they searched for caves left by their predecessors in the ice.
After a short while, they each found a suitable fishing spot.
Although the cave froze again, but it was much thinner than the ice, Chu Mingcheng used a tool to break the frozen ice, and then picked up a shovel to get out all the broken ice inside and put it aside.
Zhang Wei: The same goes for them, and soon, they started fishing for king crabs.
King crab fishing is actually a small hook, but in order to increase the chance of being hooked, you need to wrap a small net between the hook and the fish.
King crabs are covered with sharp spines, and it is difficult to get rid of them when they are caught in these nets.
You don't need to learn any of this, just look for a video of king crab fishing on the Internet.
In fact, the method of fishing for king crab can also be used to catch ordinary crabs, and you can get very good results by fishing for aquatic animals with spikes and corners anyway.
After getting fishing tools for Jiang Luoluo, Chu Mingcheng also got one for himself, and then the two sat on the small bench they brought face to face and began to fish for king crabs.
The cave is large, with a diameter of one meter, and the two sides do not disturb each other, after all, it is not fishing.
This time the king crab fishing is with you fish meat, which is more in Argentina, and the price of picking some small ones is very cheap, comparable to domestic sardines.
Cut the fish into large pieces, hang them on the hook, wrap them around the fishing net and sink to the bottom of the sea together with the lead sinker, waiting for the king crab to bite the hook.
The water here is very deep, almost 300 meters.
King crabs basically only survive in the deep sea, and 300 meters is actually not very deep, and the king crabs in the Bering Sea can even survive in the waters of seven or eight hundred meters.
"Ah Cheng, will this king crab be easier to catch than a fish?"
"That's for sure, it's hardly going to struggle when it's hooked. However, the crab eats the bait and the movement is small, and generally starts to bloom in large chunks after catching the bait. ”
"The bait is almost in place and doesn't move, but because there will be a slight shake after being caught by the crab pincers, the signal to us will be very weak, so we will wait a few seconds when the rod is a little moving, and then directly mention the weight."
Jiang Luoluo nodded abruptly, then looked at the fishing rod that seemed to be moving but didn't seem to be moving, and tried to lift it.
"Hey, it's a little heavy, did you take the bait?"
At this time, she noticed something, either the hook was hanging on the bottom, or there was already a king crab on the hook.
"So fast?" Chu Mingcheng was a little stunned, he didn't even make a nest?
But the next moment he looked at the cave, he suddenly studied.
Because there are often people fishing for king crabs in these caves, the crabs at the bottom of the water know that there is food here, so they gather all the crabs like nests.
Then he lifted the rod himself, and found that it was also a little heavy.
Immediately, he and Jiang Luoluo both shook the fishing boat together.
Luckily, it didn't hang to the bottom, and the fishing line was successfully recovered.
After a while, two king crabs, one large and one small, were brought up.
"Haha, my big one, yours so small!"
When the two king crabs were brought to the surface, Jiang Luoluo immediately laughed happily, as if winning Chu Mingcheng made her very happy.
Chu Mingcheng himself was also full of black lines, and he doubted whether the plug-in had left him at this moment.
obviously has a plug-in bonus, but he only weighs one pound when he touches it, while Jiang Luoluo's is at least three or four pounds.
A pound of crabs is not small, but when you put it on a king crab, it is a baby crab that has not grown up.
"Awesome, Luo Luo, I haven't started fishing here yet, and you've already caught one. This one is not small, it looks like we have a good mouth at noon! Zhang Wei was still playing with the fishing rod, so Bai Jing, who was idle, came over and did not hesitate to praise herself.
The harvest of recreational fishing here is either released or eaten, and it is not allowed to take away or buy and sell.
They came here to experience it and save some for themselves.
"Hey, that's a must, look at me today!" Jiang Luoluo put the king crab into the fish box next to him with great interest, and then continued fishing.
The king crab does not eat fast, and at the time she brought it up, the bait is basically well preserved, but it has been caught in a few places, and it can be used continuously.
A large piece of fish is at least more than half a catty, and it may be able to be fished for a day.
Even if it's not fresh, it's fine, maybe it will attract more king crab when the time comes.
Of course, it's hard to get things stinky at the low temperatures here.
Chu Mingcheng threw the little crab in his hand back, as for whether it would be hooked again, he thought it wouldn't.
It's too late to escape, so you can't starve to death and reincarnate!
Then they continued fishing, and every time they felt a little movement, they gently lifted the rod.
Crab fishing is different from fishing, crabs eat bait with tongs, unlike fish, so the hook is not enough for them.
Sometimes the nets don't get tangled in the crabs, and they come off when they lift them, so even if they do, they may not be able to pull them out of the water.
Fortunately, there are a lot of king crabs, and they are hooked more frequently, so they still bring people the fun of fishing.
Shaking and shaking, Chu Mingcheng finally caught a big king crab with teeth and claws.
The one in front of me is estimated to weigh about six or seven pounds, which is considered a normal specification even in Alaska.
But the two species of king crab are different, this one belongs to Chilean king crab, and the whole body is red and covered with small spines.
The average size is much smaller than the king crab in the Bering Sea, and should be about the same size as the golden king crab.
Because of the distance, even if this king crab appears in China, it is basically cooked and frozen.
It is suitable for heavy flavors such as curry and spicy stir-fry, and don't think about steaming.
But the nature of their own fishing is different, and they can eat as much as they want.
After they all caught king crabs with good body sizes in Chu Mingcheng, Zhang Wei and Chen Yang also opened their sides.
For a while, everyone was a little excited, and it was the joy of harvest.
After a while, Jiang Luoluo suddenly sighed softly, and the fishing rod in her hand kept beating normally.
"Ah Cheng, what's the matter with my fishing rod, it seems that I have caught something else?"
Chu Mingcheng raised his eyes and said, "Youhe, this looks a bit like a lobster!" ”
He was a little puzzled, why was Jiang Luoluo's luck so much better than his own today, and he might even catch a lobster?
In normal times, no matter who fishes with him, he is the first to have a catch, and he is the one who has the most catch.
Then he looked at his daughter-in-law's belly blocked by a thick down jacket, and suddenly he was stunned.
This is with a newborn buff.,It's normal to be more powerful than your own plug-in.。
This particular case is also uncommon, and it is not surprising to come once in a while.
As Jiang Luoluo retracted the line, a red lobster that had been about fifty centimeters long appeared in front of the two of them.
The lobster didn't eat the hook, it just got tangled in the net, maybe just passing by?
It can only be said that Jiang Luoluo's luck today cannot be stopped.
"Why does this look so much like Aulong?" She lifted the lobster out of the water and put it on the ice, without rushing to catch it.
A 50-centimeter lobster is not small, and its tail flapping is very advantageous.
In the case of pregnancy, Jiang Luoluo pays great attention to her safety.
"It's supposed to be a Chilean lobster!" Chu Mingcheng stepped forward to untie the lobster from the fishing net and put it into the fish box.
"Argentina and Chile are neighbors, and Tierra del Fuego is very close to the south of Chile, so it is normal for both sides to have seafood in common."
"This lobster is amazing, try to survive in such deep waters." Jiang Luoluo didn't expect to catch lobsters, as he had the impression that lobsters only lived on reefs or corals in shallow waters.
Chu Mingcheng popularized science: "The situation of this cold-water lobster is different, this lobster will run to the deep sea area from August to November because of spawning." But intellectual lobsters are generally in the middle of intelligence, and I didn't expect them to be found here. ”
"Gee, whatever it was here for, we're in for a good day anyway." Jiang Luoluo doesn't care about this, she is happy because of her harvest today!
Next, not only lobsters were produced, but even baby fish and flounder appeared to compete with king crabs, which surprised the group.
They all thought that there were only king crabs here, but they didn't expect that the species were still quite abundant.
This also led to a very good lunch meal, not only lobster and crab, but also baby fish and flounder.
Chef Chu is online again today, and he is proficient in steaming, roasting, frying, and frying.
Zhang Wei and Chen Yang, who were just handling the ingredients, were taken aback by the king crab.
Because when they opened the belly of the king crab, they saw so many parasites that they almost thought that the king crab could not be eaten.
In the end, Chu Mingcheng explained again and again, saying that there were a lot of parasites on the king crab, and they knew it after a little science popularization.
Then the two of them, who dismantled the crabs and looked disgusted, were not polite at all when they ate.
Fortunately, there was plenty of food, even if they rushed to eat.
Meimei had a lunch and drank a little wine, and they each hugged their daughter-in-law and went to take a nap.
Naturally, the pregnant women did not drink alcohol, and drank all the juice.
So in the afternoon, the cabin on the left side is very quiet, and the right side is a little lively, and the man in a slightly drunk state is very strong.
The following day, instead of crab fishing, they took a trip around Tierra del Fuego.
Then I got out of the boat and went back, choosing to continue playing somewhere else.
