Chapter 26: Be Careful!

Suna and Zhou Lan walked into the hut.

It should be Suna and Zhou Lan who set sail. Su Ming and Xu Yan fell asleep

It was late at night, so I handed over the fishing boat to them. Su Ming and Xu Yan were not at ease.

Xu Yan took a bottle of Red Bull and said, "Are you on duty or am I on duty?" ”

"Whatever."

"That's you. I'll be on duty tomorrow night......" Xu Yan smiled and handed the Red Bull to Su Ming.

Su Ming opened the door and took a drink.

"The two girls you saved haven't contacted you yet?" Xu Yan asked.

"They don't know my phone number."

"The police have your number. If they want to thank you, they can get your number......"

Su Ming shrugged. He didn't save people to say thank you.

Luna's life is certainly not in danger, but for now, she should still be in the hospital.

The situation that day reminded Su Ming of falling into the sea in the Antarctic Sea

"Let's go to sleep." Su Ming looked at Xu Yan. "If you don't sleep, I'll go in and sleep."

"I'm going to sleep. Don't doze off. Xu Yan smiled and walked into the hut.

When they went to sea this time, Su Ming and his crew carried spears, but no one else with them.

At night, in the vast sea, the fishing boats are full of power.

Su Ming drank a can of Red Bull and lit a cigarette.

Now is a great time to fish for squid. The sea conditions were terrible for a long time. The sea conditions are now good, and fishing boats with squid fishing licenses are heading out to sea

From time to time we can see fishing boats and lighted fishing boats on the sea.

From the very beginning to the seven islands, it has a distance of more than 100 nautical miles.

From 12:30 p.m., the engine was running at full speed, and now it's only 4:12.

Su Ming walked into the cabin and patted the bed board hard: "Get up." ”

Xu Yangang slept for a while: "Here? ”

"Here?" Suna also asked.

"Here we are. Get up...... Against the clock. Su Ming shouted, taking off his coat and bringing on his wetsuit, goggles, and snorkel

After waking up, Xu Yan rubbed his face and began to prepare.

"Watch out for your safety in the water," Suna said from above.

"Professional." Su Ming said, "By the way, we can dive for about 20 minutes at most. It usually takes 15 minutes to float up and breathe...... This time we brought oxygen cylinders. Don't be surprised if we don't come up for a long time. ”

Suna's eyes widened. "Twenty minutes?"

"The world's top extreme divers, take a look," Xu Yan said.

The world's top extreme freediving is similar to them. But these refer to not doing strenuous exercise underwater

For example, when they want to find fish underwater, usually about ten minutes is the limit.

Once upon a time, RB had a profession called Pearl Picker. They can hold their breath underwater for seven or eight minutes. It's very powerful.

Any accident can happen underwater.

This time they launched a 5-liter diving tank

This is also to prevent them from exceeding the time limit underwater, which scares Suna and them.

After putting on all the gear, Su Ming checked the headlights and put on the speargun.

Su Ming's speargun is a two-meter stainless steel gun without a rubber strap launcher. For Su Ming and them, firing spearguns seemed a bit of a hassle

"Be careful, be safe," Zhou Lan warned.

"Don't worry." Xu Yan said with a smile, "Now that the tide is low, the water is calm." You should be ready to meet ...... on the back deck."

Su Ming put on his flippers and looked at Suna: "We're going down." ”

"Stay safe."

Su Ming came to the side of the boat, leaned back, and walked towards the sea.

Suna lay on the side of the boat and went down when she saw a lamp.

Xu Yan also went to the beach and came side by side with Su Ming. It's a strange sea area, and it's night. Let's act together.

The depth of the water here is 18-20 meters.

There are coral reefs, rocks

After four o'clock, it was still dark. During this time, most of the fish are asleep, and they are at their least alert. If the water quality is better, you can fish with your bare hands at this time.

Xu Yan was the first to shoot a fat squid.

Under the lights, the squid is white, fat, and cute.

The squid spits out a mouthful of ink, but is stabbed, where can it escape.

Xu Yan withdrew his spear, untied the squid, and put it in the net pocket around his waist.

Su Ming also saw this fish and shot it out, it was a parrot fish with a good head.

The Qizhou archipelago is made up of seven island groups and is a natural fishing ground rich in marine products. This is not only a fishing spot, but also a great place for snorkeling.

There are a lot of videos on the internet of diving and hunting on the islands of seven continents. In this sea area, there are often good harvests.

Lobsters, sea urchins, groupers, snapper squid, tuna, shellfish, and more are also common here.

Su Ming collected the parrot fish and found two more snappers: "...... here" Su Ming spat out the bubbles and shouted.

Xu Yan swam over and saw Su Ming's light

The two men fired from the left and right sides at the same time to hit accurately.

heavenly

Su Ming looked at Xu Yan with a smile and gave a thumbs up.

Xu Yan smiled and withdrew the spear in his hand, and also gave Su Ming a thumbs up

The two untied the fish and continued their side-by-side search.

A wide variety of fish congregate on the coral reefs at the bottom of the sea.

In just two or three minutes, Su Ming saw a few groupers.

Underwater hunting, selective fishing, is like a giant grouper that can grow to tens or hundreds of kilograms, only one or two kilograms. Su Ming and Xu Yan saw this and chose to ignore it.

However, for some small groupers, such as the six-banded grouper and the oil grouper, they are small and can be divided into two or three pairs. Su Ming and they grabbed it with their hands. If you can catch it, you can't catch it.

For those small groupers, three, four, or two heads are already huge. But the baby grouper tastes good

There are many groupers on the islands of the seven continents.

Su Ming poked another grouper, estimated to weigh about 5 kilograms.

Soon, more than ten minutes.

In order not to worry Suna and them, Su Ming picked up the stone and knocked it a few times. Xu Yan heard the voice and turned his head... Then they floated together.

When they came to the beach, the fishing boat was fifty or sixty meters away from them.

Two people waited. Suna drove the fishing boat over and stopped about ten meters away.

They swam over, holding the boat in one hand, unbuttoning the net pocket at their waist with the other, and handed it over.

Just ten minutes later, Su Ming had harvested more than a dozen catties of fish. Grouper has seven or eight. kilograms, and the rest are squid, squid and other fish.

Su Ming has a good harvest, and Xu Yan is not bad there. He caught a cat-tooth shark, which is still alive and weighs six or seven kilograms: "The live fish are kept in live tanks and oxygenated. Dead fish are kept in the refrigerator at minus five degrees Celsius, not frozen. ”

Suna nodded: "Okay." ”

After receiving the net bag, Su Ming and his team continued diving. This time, the search is sped up.

Soon a coral reef was discovered, there were three small green dragons, and there was no more beautiful cargo.

It depends on luck to see the big fish.

This time, after more than ten minutes, Su Ming's net bag was full, he floated up, and quickly swam to the fishing boat: "Come and chase." ”

Zhou Lan came over and lifted Su Ming's net bag: "It's too heavy." ”

Su Ming said: "You drive the boat to a position of about 300 meters ahead. We should continue to look ahead ......".

"Okay," Zhou Lan replied.

Suna came over and said, "Did you buy a beautiful item this time?" ”

"No...... The largest grouper weighs about five catties," Su Ming said. It is not a rare grouper, but a direct sting.

As long as regular groupers are properly preserved, there is not much difference in the price of live and dead fish.

They came out today with three fish boxes.

When the fishing boat returns, the live tank drains the water, so only live fish can be placed in the tank when returning.

There are many small stone spots today.

These little groupers are small and the price is still good. Especially live fish

Su Ming went down again and came to Xu Yan's side.

Xu Yan is using a knife to clean barnacles from the back of a large sea turtle.

Su Ming left the reef. The bottom of the sea is rocky. These places are also easy to hide fish. He is good at hiding big fish

Today's luck was not so good.

Su Ming had seen fish hunting videos on the Internet before, and he could often catch larger groupers.

Su Ming and his team were taking a quick swim underwater, which had been going on for half an hour. The search range should be equivalent to two or three hours of work for a professional diver wearing a diving tank.

Su Ming caught a few more lobsters, all of which were very good. After identifying the lobster species, he pocketed them.

Xu Yan's light came.

Su Ming looked at it and saw the movement of his hands

Su Ming quickly swam over.

Xu Yan's headlights steered

Gangnam found a flat sandy area with a huge manta ray lying underneath.

Manta rays, manta rays of the manta ray family.

It's a big fish. The small manta ray weighs 20 kilograms and is about one meter long. People who don't know about this fish think it's a big fish at first glance. In fact, it is still a newborn baby.

The manta ray below is about 6 meters wide and is a rare large manta ray.

"Why not?" Xu Yan said with bubbles.

Su Ming waved his hand and grabbed Xu Yan.

Xu Yan did not linger and left with him.

Praying mantis, which is about 6 meters wide, has only been seen online. Even after working on fishing boats in Gangnam for so many years, I have seen the largest manta ray, which is about 5 meters wide.

The width of the manta ray's body is greater than its length

Manta rays appear to protect fish, but they are often sold in the market.

The manta rays below are too big to handle. And a little bit of compassion

Manta rays of this size are so rare that they cannot be seen once.

In fact, Xu Yan couldn't handle such a large manta ray.

Everything has a spirit. If it was smaller, they wouldn't let it go.

Praying mantis with a width of more than 6 meters can infiltrate the human body.

Some fish can be caught, some fish... Forget it. Praying mantis may seem harmless to humans and animals, but once ferocious, they are very powerful.

The manta rays below are very large, but they are not easy for Su Ming to handle.

Even on fishing boats south of the Yangtze River, Su Ming and his family used to catch some very large fish and would choose to release them.

There is a large manta ray here, and Su Ming and they are far away from this area.

One of the seven islands, Kitasejima, is 30 to 40 meters offshore, and the water depth is about 25 meters.

There were a lot of rocks at the bottom of the sea, and Su Ming caught a few lobsters. While fishing for lobsters, Su Ming also saw a large stone spot

Swim slowly. When about two meters away, the spear in his hand stabbed out, and then quickly swam to grab the spear.

This is the largest grouper harvested tonight, weighing 30 to 40 kilograms.

Su Ming swam up excitedly with his spear.

Suna saw the lights come on a few hundred meters away and set sail.

After a while, Xu Yan also surfaced. He caught a big dick

"We've got a lot of goods," Xu Yan shouted.

"Me too," Su Min said.

"Let go of that giant manta ray, and our luck will be better." Xu Yan said with a smile.

"That manta ray, you probably can't handle it."

Wait for Suna to come with them. Suna and they will deliver the fish to the boat.

It's past five o'clock now.

The sky began to turn white, a red light appeared at the end of the sea and sky, and the visibility of the sea was much higher.

"Are you up?" Suna asked.

"Dive a little more," Su Ming said.

"It's still early, let's play for a while," Xu said.

I was able to dive for more than half an hour.

After dawn, the vigilance of the fish will be restored, and the difficulty of diving and hunting will increase exponentially.

Su Ming and his team searched around the island. The water near the island is relatively deep, and the fish below are not only large, but also plentiful.

About ten minutes later, Su Ming floated again.

This time, we caught two groupers, but we caught a couple of good snappers, a couple of ugly rockfish with stingers, and a cattooth shark.

The stonefish are alive, and so are the cattooth sharks

Su Ming swam to the side of the fishing boat and handed him the net bag: "Be careful, there are stone fish in it, and it is very toxic." ”

"What kind of person needs to be hospitalized?" Zhou Lan said.

"Yes. You pour out the fish first......"

"I see." Suna said.

It's dawn.

Su Ming dived into the sea again, and the light on the bottom of the sea was still dim.

Su Ming caught up with Xu Yan

There is also a coral reef next to Xu Yan. He was proud of a black spotted eel more than a meter long hanging from his speargun.

**Eels, also known as moray eels, are larger when they are more than a meter long.

Most eels have large heads, thick necks, and body lengths of more than a meter.

Su Ming ignored him and went to the coral reef to pick up some gray sea urchins.

Common sea urchins are black and have long spines. The sea urchin that Su Ming picked up was grayish-white, with short spikes and a large head.

Waiting for Xu Yan to return, the two worked together again to search the coral reef area and returned to the ship with a full harvest.

The sun is already out, and sea urchins can be seen clearly without headlights.

Su Ming went back to take a shower, changed his clothes, came out, drove the fishing boat to the back of the island, turned on the gyro stabilizer, and started to make breakfast.

Today's harvest was good.

After nearly two hours of diving, two groupers weighing about 30 kilograms were found, and three groupers weighing more than 20 kilograms were found. Smaller groupers are more numerous, with an estimated weight of more than 20 pounds.

"One of you can cook, and the other will crack eggs." Su Ming said, "Steamed sea urchin eats ......"

"Roger."

"Let me cook." Zhou Lan said, "I'm seasick again. ”

"Okay." Suna went to crack the eggs and stirred them.

Su Ming quickly disposed of a few sea urchins, took out the stove and began to boil water.

Xu Yan also took a bath and said, "Get some grouper to eat." ”

"When you make fish soup, I make squid sashimi."

Zhou Lan washed the rice, cooked the rice, and returned to the hut.

Su Ming looked at it and said, "Why not...... Get back? ”

"Good." Xu Yan smiled and said, "I'll go back after dinner." ”

"No fishing." Suna was upset.

Suna has been looking forward to this trip for a long time. This came out and turned back?

Xu Yan looked at the time. It's only 6:40.

"When is the tide?"

"...... after 8 o'clock"

"Go back after catching the tide and see how lucky you are today......"

Suna looked at Su Ming unhappily and glanced at him.

Su Ming scalded the squid with boiling water, peeled off the skin of the squid, and glared at her: "You can't catch it anyway." ”

Suna said, "I can catch big fish. ”

"There are octopuses in the live tanks, which are used as bait. However, the seabed here is complex, so be careful not to hang on the bottom ......"

"I'm a teacher now."

Su Ming cut the squid fillet.

Suna is ready to soak in the water

The water is dipped in soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger.

Don't be too fussy on the outside.

Su Ming ate a few slices of squid meat, which tasted good and was stimulated by mustard. After eating a few slices of squid meat, Su Ming was refreshed.

"When the tide passes, will you go back?" Suna tasted the squid sashimi and said, "Don't fish for now." ”

"I'll go back when the tide is over. Today's harvest is good...... "Su Ming said.

Their fish are frozen and fresh. Go back early

Sea conditions have been good in recent days.

They can set off at night and dive and fish before dawn and fish for a while before dawn after high tide. This time it was just right

Get the fish back or it's worthless.

Xu Yan picked a few small groupers and two not-so-large snappers. After cleaning them, they fried them and put a few slices of ginger... Then pour into boiling water.

"Come and have a taste." Su Ming was holding a squid sashimi in his hand.

Xu Yan walked over and took a few pills: "I'll go in and see Zhou Lan." ”

Some people easily overcome the problem of seasickness. But some

"Is there a better way to overcome seasickness?" Suna asked.

"Nope." Su Ming shook his head and said, "If you go to sea more, you will get used to it." Then, people who exercise regularly and are in good health are less likely to get seasick. ”

Su Ming left some tattoos for Xu Yan, took out the folding recliner in the cabin, put it on the back deck, lay down, and lit a cigarette.

Xu Yan walked out

Su Ming looked at him and raised his head slightly. This action is to ask the meaning.

Xu Yan pulled the plate down, shrugged his shoulders, picked up the plate containing the squid meat, and walked over on another recliner.

Su Ming took the plate from Xu Yan's hand and said, "Your sister's situation is not suitable for running too far. ”

Xu Yan said "um" and said, "Let's see if she can adapt." Xu Yan put the chair away and lay side by side with Su Ming

The sun was warm in the morning. It was very comfortable to bask in the sun.

Xu Yan ate all the squid on the plate in two or three minutes: "It's not very enjoyable." ”

"Do it yourself."

"It's time to eat." Suna said, "Will Zhou Lan get up to eat?" ”

"Don't eat ......"

The fish soup is ready.

Suna opened the basin and put some salt.

Before the rice was ready, Su Ming and his family drank a bowl of fish soup and waited for the rice to cook

After eating, the warm sun just now was a little hot.

After packing his luggage, Su Ming started the fishing boat and went out to find a good place.

Now the tide is in the morning.

This morning, several small boats appeared nearby. They also follow the tide to fish.

The sea area chosen by Su Ming is about 30 meters deep. Mainly grouper fishing

Groupers and groupers prefer to be in deep water.

They have four electric wheels, two in the bow and two in the stern. They are both octopuses. These octopuses are more than 1 catty

The waves on the islands of the seven continents are relatively large, especially at high tide, and the requirements for fishing plumbers are also great.

There are many rocks on the ocean floor. Su Ming and his team mainly searched for large rock points and chose a flat area. The plumb sinks to the bottom

Su Ming and the others put down their fishing rods.

Suna also took out a fishing rod and asked, "How do I fish?" ”

"Hang up the bait. The depth of fishing is about eight meters...... Luckily, you might catch tuna. Su Ming said with a smile.

"How big is tuna?"

"A few pounds," Xu Yan said with a smile as he listened to Su Ming's deception.

"How many kilograms of tuna?" Suna stared at Su Ming with your innocent eyes.

"Prawns are tuna too. How do you look down on the shrimp ......"

Xu Yan laughed in the back.

Tuna fishing on seven islands is indeed possible, but it is difficult to catch large tuna like yellowfin tuna during this season. The probability of shrimp fishing is much higher.

Seeing Suna's unhappy appearance, Su Ming smiled and patted her head: "What's wrong?" ”

"Is shrimp a very cheap fish?" Suna asked.

Su Ming smiled, took out another pole, hung a string of hooks on it, and tied a 750-gram plumb pendant

On the rope hook are starfish meat and conch meat.

Suna looked at Su Ming's seven hooks on a pole and said, "I also want to fish for a rope hook." ”

"The string hook is very physical. You have a raft rod and I have a heavy rock rod...... It's a bit out of place for you to use a luja rod to catch a string hook on the boat. Su Ming hung up the bait and straightened the fishing rod.

The heavy rock rod is 6.3 meters long and weighs more than two kilograms.

When Su Ming was fishing for squid in Jiangbei, he felt that the fishing rod was too short.

When there is more than one rod on the boat, the rod should be long, otherwise it can easily get entangled. Su Ming has a strong strength. When using a fishing line on a boat, it is easy to operate with a longer rod.

The tide is coming.
