Chapter 17: Blessings!

Now the chances of catching tuna this season are slim. If you're lucky, you have a higher chance of catching a swordfish than a tuna.

There are many species of fish that can be dragged outside of this area, such as sea turtles

If they catch a starfish, they don't lose and they earn. However, if you catch other fish, such as sea wolves, ghost knives, GTs, etc., you will most likely lose money.

The speed of the boat can be fast and slow, and the fishing bait will turn up and down in the water, which will attract the attack of predatory fish.

After running for more than ten minutes, Liu Bei's pole bent sharply and said, "Su Ming, you caught a fish." ”

Su Ming slowed down the speed of the boat and stopped: "How big?" ”

"It doesn't feel too big." The electric wheel used by Liu Bei quickly retracted the fishing line: "A big mackerel." ”

"Half-ashore," Su Ming said with a smile.

"It's not a big fish." Liu Bei stepped on the head of the fish and released the hook.

"You think you're me." Li Qiang said, "Only I can catch big fish......

"You can grab a big watermelon."

An hour passed quickly, and the time was quiet. There are no fish in the water.

This is normal. This is the deep water area of the continental shelf. If it's a medium fish... It should be a big fish, such as tuna, swordfish, etc.

However, there are not many of these areas in this sea area.

After an hour and twenty minutes, Xu Yan asked, "An hour later, are you still fishing?" ”

"No fishing." Li Qiang waved his hand. "I feel like all my luck has run out."

"Fish for another hour," Liu said.

"I also dragged a stick...... Su Feng walked out and said.

"How is the National Day of the State of Chu?" Su Ming asked.

"Sleep," Su Feng said.

"If you sleep, you won't get seasick." Xu Yan said with a smile.

Su Feng used Li Qiang's fishing rod. While they checked the bait, Su Ming continued to sail

Su Feng had good luck today, I don't know what to say.

Say he's unlucky. He had another dogtooth. Say he's lucky. The dog's tooth was bitten in half by a shark.

Xu Yan took out the drink and said, "There is only one can left." ”

"Boss Zhou is amazing," Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Are you ashore?" Su Ming took a drink and looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "I have the same share of the catch as Li Qiang. We were all ...... on the first day ashore".

Li Qiang nodded: "I really enjoyed coming out this time." I caught my first yellowfin tuna, and it was a big yellowfin tuna. ”

"There are flying fish...... Xu Yan said, pointing to the sea, "open the fish and take a look." ”

Su Ming couldn't open the drink in time. He opened the photo of the fish detection. There are not many fish in the photo.

"Go over there......" Xu Yan pointed to the south.

Su Ming nodded and turned around

There are not many fish on the fish.

Xu Yan just saw a few flying fish jump out of the sea, that is

"Flying fish are moving in groups, how can there be so few?" Xu Yan wondered.

"Let's part with the fish." Su Ming smiled and gave up his seat. He went to the bow of the ship to observe the sea.

The water here is too deep for fish to reach the bottom of the sea. In this case, the water depth is at least 500 meters

That is, they are located on the outer side of the slope of the continental shelf.

The vast sea, the sky is like a dome, the sea is a circle, it seems to see the curved surface

No boat in sight.

Su Ming stood at the bow of the boat for more than ten minutes, but the sea was still calm. He returned to the back deck and said, "Back to the Kamiko Sea." ”

"No fish?"

Su Ming shook his head: "I didn't see anything......"

Another hour passed when we came to the sea of the lake of the gods.

It's getting late, too. Su Feng said: "I haven't heard a word for an hour, and I'm out of luck." ”

"It doesn't matter. I'll give you another half hour. I'll pick it up at the place where I stayed overnight

Su Feng looked back, and his spirit suddenly trembled: "My fortune has changed, it must be a big fish, I want to go ashore." ”

Su Ming stopped the boat and waited for Su Feng to get the pole

"It's a big fish." Su Feng became excited again, and the electric wheel made a laborious sound, which was so sweet.

Liu Bei scratched his head and quickly retracted the fishing line: "Go ashore...... Ashore. Give me a bluefin tuna. Su Feng shouted.

Xu Yan took out a cigarette and handed it to Liu Bei, Li Qiang handed it to Su Ming, lit it and said with a smile: "Did you catch a bluefin tuna?" ”

"No," Li said, "what does it feel like to catch bluefin tuna compared to yellowfin tuna?" ”

"The largest bluefin tuna I caught was more than 400 kilograms, which is much bigger than the big yellow flag that Su Ming caught yesterday." Xu Yan began to brag about the bluefin tuna he had caught again.

"Where are you fishing?" Liu Bei asked.

"Near New Zealand..."

Su Feng's fish had a lot of strength, but not to the point where the electric wheels could not be retracted. After a few minutes, the line was retracted. A big turtle said, "Come and help me, stop robbing robbers." ”

Xu Yan hooked the fish's tail with an iron hook and pulled it up.

"This big turtle is powerful...... This fish is more than a meter, can it be sold for a hundred and one catties? Su Feng asked.

"The quality is average......," Liu Bei said, "and it's about the same as mine." ”

"Okay...... It's almost ashore. Liu Bei said with a smile.

"You can make some money fishing for rocket squid at night." Li Qiang said with a smile, "Su Ming and Master Zhou caught more than 100 kilograms last night. ”

Su Ming said: "There was less squid last night. Let's go there early and find a good place......".

"Come in the evening."

Squid congregate when spawning. The more central the area, the larger the squid.

There were too many boats fishing for squid last night.

If there are few boats, not to mention that two people can fish more than 100 catties in one night, even if one person, it is easy to fish more than 100 catties in one night.

Xu Yan helped Su Feng bleed the fish he caught, and weighed it again

"Yes, 93 pounds. If it's 50 yuan a catty, more than 4,000 yuan will be in hand...... And it will go ashore. Xu said.

"Nice." Su Feng waved his fist and said, "Drag is really exciting......

There are more fish around the reef.

Wait for the rod to go down again. A few minutes later, Liu Bei hit a fish and a sea wolf... Then Su Feng hit another one

When you come to the reef area, the bottom is a "concave" position. The surrounding water depth is 30-55 meters. The center is 75 meters deep

This groove has a relatively large sea area of two or three square kilometers. This kind of place is a favorite of squid.

There are fishing boats in the central area where they came. Su Ming drove the fishing boat over and stopped at a distance of more than 100 meters.

The sunrise and sunset on the sea never get tired.

Su Ming propped up a folding recliner and looked at the sea and the sunset at the end of the sky.

"Damn, I'm not tired watching the sunset every day." Xu Yan shouted, "Come and help me cook." ”

"I'm in control of the boat." Su Mingqiao looked at Erlang and touched the steering wheel with one hand. "What do you eat at night?"

"Dogtooth tuna sashimi?" Su Feng said, "That half of the fish can't be sold." ”

"The dogtooth golden gun is not delicious......"

"The fish is on the table." Liu Bei is drawing a snapper on the iron plate. "And beef?"

"Another one?"

"Let's cook another beef. How delicious is the beef cooked by Master Zhou......" Liu Bei said with a smile, "and my sea bream." I'll catch some more to make fish soup. ”

Li Qiang hung a string of hooks and fished underwater. After a while, he pulled a string of fish. There are three bright red stones, Jiugong: "The ingredients are here." ”

"Shi Jiugong on the high seas is very good. Let's see if we can catch more fish. Shi Jiugong makes fish soup and steamed sea bream...... "Su Ming stood up and helped peel potatoes and stew beef.

After a while, Liu Bei drew another snapper and said, "Two snappers, are you enough?" ”

"Enough to eat."

Liu Bei caught two snappers, both of which were not small.

When the potato beef stew was put into the pressure cooker, Li Qiang caught a few more fish, the largest of which was Shi Jiugong, more than a catty.

My eyes bulge when I pulled them up.

Li Qiang put his palm next to Shi Jiugong and took a photo: "Is this fish Shi Jiugong?" ”

Su Ming nodded: "There are many kinds of stone mortar dukes, this is the deep sea stone mortar duke." ”

"How's it taste?"

"When I make the soup, I feel better than the East Star Grouper."

"True or False..."

"Higashikozaka steamed is delicious." Liu Bei said, "This kind of stone mortar is suitable for making soup. If it's steamed, it's much worse. ”

"Master Ye......" Li Qiang shouted loudly when he saw that Su Ming was busy.

"Why?"

"Are you going back tomorrow?" Li Qiang asked.

"Wait until Chu Guoqing wakes up. If he doesn't get seasick, he will continue...... The harvest has been good these days. Su Ming said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Naturally, I hope to catch more fish in a few days. This time, it was fantastic......"

Su Ming said with a smile: "The most important thing is the National Day, if his condition is not good, we will go back in the middle of the night and arrive at the dock tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay." Su Feng said, "Is there a grouper here?" ”

"There are a lot of groupers in the reef waters."

"Let me try," Su Feng said.

"Be careful not to let the grouper drag the hook to the burrow again. ," Li Qiang said.

"If you've suffered a loss once, you won't."

The red light on the horizon was gone.

It's getting dark

In the evening, the evening breeze rises. The sea is rolling

The stabilizer is turned on, which is more or less useful. But on the high seas, stabilizers for small fishing vessels are of limited use.

Li Qiang took another fishing rod, put it away, and helped with the fishing.

Xu Yan poured oil into the pot, fried the fish after boiling, and put ginger slices at the same time... Pour the mineral water into the pot and a large pot of fish will be filled.

Two red snapper are steamed in another pot and ready to come out of the pot.

After coming out of the pot, cut some shredded green onions, drizzle some steamed fish soy sauce, and then heat the oil and pour it on top, and the fragrance will come out instantly.

Zhao Tian came out with the meal and said with a smile: "It smells very good." ”

"Dinner will be ready soon." Su Ming said, "Have you woken up on the National Day of the Chu State?" ”

"When he woke up, he was still feeling uncomfortable in the cabin," Zhao said. ”。

"Then we'll go back after fishing in the middle of the night."

Zhao Tian nodded: "Okay." ”

"No, I'm fine. I'll take a break. Chu Guoqing walked out, his face very pale.

"Let's watch in the middle of the night. Eat first......" Su Ming turned on the rice cooker, picked up the rice bowl handed to him by Xu Yan, and served rice to everyone.

"I eat less." Chu Guoqing said, "I ate too much at noon. ”

It's getting darker.

Su Ming turned on the floodlights on the hull and the headlights on the top of the boat.

"This fish is delicious." Liu Bei looked at Li Qiang with a smile.

"That fish soup doesn't taste good." Li Qiang also smiled.

"It's delicious...... But the best thing to eat is the potato goulash. Su Feng smiled.

Chu Guoqing raised his thumbs: "Potato beef stew, YYDS." ”

"Your rod is moving." Li Qiang looked at Su Feng and said.

"Really?"

"Really, hurry up."

Su Feng slowly got up and looked, the fishing rod was really bent. He rushed over with his rice bowl... and press the take-up. In my panic, I almost lost my job

"Hahahaha...... Su Feng shouted excitedly, "It must be a big stone spot." ”

The bait is seven or eight ounces of live fish. What Li Qiang just drew on an iron plate may be a grouper.

But this is not very likely.

Groupers like to eat live bait, that is, it moves. What fish? It suddenly sank 70 meters... It is estimated that it is dead.

There is no obvious escape movement when shaking, but it is heavy.

"What's hanging down there?" Su Feng looked puzzled.

"Anyway, just pull it up and see ......"

In a short time, the main line has been collected. Su Feng pulled the rope and lifted some, a black ball

"Moray eels," Su Min said.

"Wait for me to get the hook." Xu Yan said, and then went back to get the iron hook and hooked the eel.

The eels are twisted into a ball and twisted together with the fishing line

"It's fine." Su Feng estimated that the eel weighed more than 30 kilograms and was a large eel. "This eel is no worse than a grouper."

Xu Yan stepped on the eel's head and carefully unhooked the hook with pliers: "What sharp teeth, look at this fishing line, if you get up a little later, you will be bitten off." ”

"It's scary." Chu Guoqing said, "I can't bite the No. 30 braided thread." ”

"Can you compete with the fish?" Su Feng said.

"How can we compare ......"

"Fish don't get seasick in the sea. I'm sorry. I still get seasick after taking seasickness medicine. ”

"I'm ...... Put the fish in the boat and see if it gets dizzy. ”

The two make fun of each other.

However, the current situation of the National Day of the Chu State is obviously much better.

After dinner, Su Ming returned to the back deck and looked at the depth of the squid.

Now the sky is still dark, the squid is scattered, and in the deep water, they have not yet gathered.

Su Ming erected the pole, hung up the squid hook, shone some with a flashlight, and then threw them to the bottom of the sea and set off at a depth of 60 meters.

"Su Ming, how deep is the fishing?" Li Qiang asked.

"I can fish 60 meters and I can spread out. 65m, 55m...... 50 meters. Now the squid has not gathered ......"

"I can catch up with 65 meters," Mr. Li said.

"I'm 55 meters..."

We discussed the depth of fishing.

Chu Guoqing was still unwell, and went back to the hut after eating.

It's getting dark.

The sea breeze rises

Chu Guoqing was seasick, and Zhao Tian tried to control the fishing boat so that it would not shake.

Su Ming's squid hook stayed underneath for more than 20 minutes before starting to shoot. There were only three shots in the first shot.

There are two periods for squid fishing, the first half of the night and the second half of the night.

It was about nine o'clock in the first half of the night.

After midnight, after three o'clock

Squid fishing is relatively better at these two time points. Especially in the second half of the night

"Three big rockets," Su Ming said, picking off the squid.

"The location today is good." Liu Bei also took the pole position and hit two, but he was very big. "Seeing these bouncing rocket squid, I want to stab myself."

"I only rely on one kind of food." Li Qiang picked up his pole, there was only one.

Su Ming and the others were bragging about the stern of the boat. Su Feng was alone in the bow of the boat

Su Ming walked over and said, "Do you want to change positions?" It won't be so boring to go back and brag to everyone. ”

"Good." Su Feng smiled.

Su Ming turned to the bow of the boat and sat on the recliner with his legs crossed.

The fishing boat is rocking, and the time is also... Wobbly, it's nine o'clock.

Now the fishing depth is between ten and thirty meters.

Squid spotlight, it's low tide, the sea is calm, and the squid quickly gathers.

There are also fishing boats at sea today, but not as many as yesterday. There are only 7 fishing boats. Everyone is far away.

There was a fishing boat only 100 meters away from Su Ming and them. Now it's a few hundred meters away from here.

Su Ming and his fishing boat were particularly domineering. There are 22 fish-trapping lights embedded in the boat. The bait light for the fishing boat is too simple. If it was too close to Su Ming and them, it couldn't be caught

Last night was proof of that.

Last night, Su Ming and Xu Yan caught more than 150 kilograms of squid. It is still in the outer area

This is thanks to the lure of the fish lamp.

……

There are dense dots on the fish detection screen. I don't know how many squid were collected

After three or five minutes of hook-ups, the fewer six, seven, eight Grand Slams, the more twelve Grand Slams.

Su Feng talked behind Liu Bei, Li Qiang, and Xu Yan. It's also a great environment for fishing. It's hot.

Chu Guoqing's situation was much better, and he walked out of the cabin.

"Okay?" Su Feng asked when he saw Chu Guoqing setting up the fishing rod.

"I'm in a good mood." Chu Guoqing smiled and said, "I'm going ashore too." I've got a lot to do tonight. I don't have to go back tomorrow. Let's fish for two more days. ”

"Okay." Li Qiang said excitedly, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay."

Zhao Tian turned his head at this time and said, "I'm afraid not...... I'll be back tomorrow morning at the latest. ”

"Why?"

Zhao said: "I have just received a notice from the Maritime Safety Bureau that low pressure is forming normally...... Tomorrow the wind will be more than five degrees. ”。 At this point he was working on the chart

The central area of low pressure is far from here.

However, sea conditions in this large area of the sea are expected to reach level 5 tomorrow.

In the afternoon in Yitong, the sea conditions reached almost level 4 at high tide. As far as the fourth-level sea state is concerned, Chu Guoqing can't stand it.

"When are you coming back tomorrow?"

"Let's start at dawn." Zhao Tian smiled. "Staying up late today to fish for squid."

There are a lot of typhoons in the summer, so there is little time to go abroad.

Su Ming and his crew went to sea this time. The weather these days can be said to be very rare.

As for the swells in Itong, they are mainly due to the seabed topography and ocean currents. Unified sea area, there is no wind and sometimes there are waves

In the first half of the night, the sea is calm and the waves are small. Everyone is pulling rocket squid like crazy, but as time goes on, there are fewer and fewer squid around.

Su Ming looked at his watch, and said at half past eleven, "Master, can you go back and take a rest?" ”

"Take a break. I'll be back tomorrow morning......" Zhao Tian said.

"Yes."

"I'm a little hungry." Zhao Tian smiled and picked a big squid from Su Ming's basket and boiled a pot of water. "Chu State National Day ......," Zhao Tian shouted.
