Chapter 216: It's Bigger Than a Small Tug (Part I)
"I'm going to go to the open sea this time, are you sure you want to come along?" Zhang Ze asked again.
Because of the small tugboat, he didn't plan to go near Hailing Island this time.
Although the resources over there are good, they are still a little closer to the coast, and there must be a lot of fish, but the probability of encountering big fish is still not as high as that of the far sea.
After all, only distant-water fishing vessels can set foot in the open seas today, and the number of fishing vessels is certainly far inferior to that of later generations.
For Zhang Ze, the unknown open sea is the real treasure location.
He had been in the fishing village for so long, a little closer, and had basically visited the famous fishing grounds, and it was time to run further afield.
"Go, why not? But you have to wait first, I'll ask Ah Dong to prepare a few more barrels of diesel. Hearing that he was going to the open sea, Jin Sanbao agreed without hesitation.
He is a smart person, and he knows that if he has meat to eat with Zhang Ze, what is the cost of a little fuel.
"Okay, you hurry up and arrange, send the longline over by the way, I'll go to the boat first." Zhang Ze saw that he insisted on following, so he let him go, otherwise drive the other party away?
I went to purchase first, and I can't say how long it will take to go to the open sea this time, but it is estimated that it will take at least three days.
It is estimated that it will take a day to go back and forth alone, and maybe it will be more than that, mainly because of the slow speed of the Golden Three Treasure fishing boats.
So Zhang Ze bought a large number of materials in the supply and marketing cooperative, and asked Lin Long and Lin Hu to help send them over.
When he came to the docks, he bought a lot of bait, just like before.
However, this time there are not only shrimp, but also some Balang fish as bait.
The bait in the space is spare, and if he can prepare it first, of course he will be ready.
After the longline bait was hung up and put in the cold cabin, the three of Jin Sanbao also prepared supplies to go to the open sea.
Just as Zhang Ze was about to set off, Tong Yuanhang learned that he was going to the far sea, and he also came over to join in the fun.
Although they are trawlers, it is not impossible to go to the open sea together.
They wanted to go before, but they were stopped by Tong Guisheng, afraid that something would happen and they wouldn't be able to come back.
Fishermen are fighting for their lives when they go fishing in the open sea, because the farther away from the coast, the more dangerous it is.
If nothing else, the changing weather on the sea alone is a great danger for fishermen.
But now that the three ships are going to the open sea together, they can help each other, and the safety is much higher.
When I set off during the day and arrived at Zhang Ze's destination, it was already early two in the morning.
It took a full thirteen hours, almost one hundred and fifty nautical miles from the coast, which was long enough.
Zhang Ze will come here, not blindly looking for it.
In fact, he has been to this position in the limited number of sea fishing in the South China Sea in his last life.
At that time, he harvested a lot of deep-sea fish, and also fished a lot of sea wolves and red sweet yellow hard, which is a trip to sea that he remembers deeply.
Zhang Ze chose to come here first, mainly because Tong Yuanhang and Jin Sanbao came with him, and he had to make sure that these two people could gain something when they went to sea.
If it were just him, he might choose to wander around and see if there were any places with particularly good resources. The cabin has a large capacity, enough to support him everywhere.
However, it was already late at night, Zhang Ze had no idea of fishing, and went back to the room to wash and sleep.
Tong Yuanhang and them are the same, that is, Jin Sanbao and others need to put the net, so they stay up all night to find a place to put the fishing net first.
They are not in a hurry to find Zhang Ze to ask for a resource location, and if the fishing boat is not full this time, they will not go back, and it will not be too late to ask for resources next time.
And not only Zhang Ze had a fish finder on his ship, but Tong Yuanhang also had them on his ship, so Jin Sanbao and the others were not in a hurry at all.
The next day, Zhang Ze didn't get up until eight o'clock in the morning, and he had to play trolling during the day today, so he was not in a hurry to get up early to fish.
When he came to the deck, he could no longer see Tong Yuanhang's trawler, and he probably went to another place to trawl.
Jin Sanbao and the others had already gotten up, and the fishing nets would not be collected until after the noon meal, so they caught fish on the side of the boat.
No, Chen Xudong just happened to pull up a red and glamorous deep-sea fish, which looks a bit like a red friend, or a deep-sea red snapper.
Zhang Ze didn't delay any longer, and after feeding Xiao Hei breakfast, he used a crane to lift his six-meter small tugboat and put it on the water at the stern of the Duoyu smoothly.
He put the fishing gear and bamboo baskets on the small troll, and by the way, he carried a bucket of diesel.
A small thruster is installed on the small trawler, otherwise how can the boat be trolled?
However, after having it, the rubber boat is eliminated, and it will definitely be more convenient to land on the reef or return to the dock in the future, and a small tug with thrusters.
Xiao Hei stayed on the Duo Yu, and Zhang Ze carefully closed the stern door so that Xiao Hei would not jump into the water and swim towards him.
Sitting on a small troll, Zhang Ze first installed the base at the stern of the boat before starting to assemble his fishing gear.
He has a large fishing reel, and the target fish for trolling are generally fast fish such as Kang's mackerel, red gan, and tuna.
These fish have a strong impact, and it is more suitable to fish with a large hook and a large fishing wheel.
In fact, it is better to have someone to help with trolling, but this sea area has no islands and outcropping reefs, and it is empty enough for him to troll alone.
When the fish is hooked, he lowers the power a little and lets the tugboat sail autonomously.
Ready, drive the boat away from the multi-fish, towards the open side, and then Zhang Ze took out an ordinary fishing bait and threw it into the water to lock the fishing boat to unload, and then drove the small tug on the sea.
Driven by a small tugboat, the bait is like a small fish chasing the boat, which is very eye-catching, waiting for the big fish to come and eat the hook.
If you want to troll, it's important for your fishing boat to stay on a fish-infested sea.
But in fact, Zhang Ze has no experience in trolling at all, and he doesn't know what channel will have fish.
But he wasn't worried at all, just walked around the sea.
Because of the particularity of ordinary bait, he does not need to look for fish, as long as he passes near the fish, the fish will be delivered to the door by itself, which is also the confidence of him to engage in trolling alone.
Zhang Ze was spinning around on the sea, and the bait was also swimming happily like a live fish behind him, but suddenly a black shadow flashed on the side, and the bait suddenly disappeared into the waves.
"Crunch crunch ~"
The fishing rod that was removed from the bell only made the most primitive sound, and when fishing for big fish, the fishing rod trembled and the bell kept ringing, and Zhang Ze, who felt that it was too noisy, simply relieved it again.
So this was affected by the sound of the thruster, and he didn't hear the movement of the rod for the first time.
Fortunately, the pull of the fish when it was hooked made the fishing boat pause visibly, alerting him that a fish had been hooked.
Zhang Ze hurriedly reduced the power of the thruster, then turned around and grabbed the fishing rod and lifted it up, and immediately felt a strong pull.
But no matter how much the fish pulls, its strength is not as strong as the power of the troll, so it can only be pulled and run.
The fishing line was pulled out a little bit, but the speed was not fast, Zhang Ze put his hand on the swing and began to reel in the line.
But the fish has enough strength at the moment, and he is not so easy to reel.
Zhang Ze simply continued to let the boat drag the fish for a while, and waited until it was tired of struggling.
Isn't it just to consume some diesel, what does it matter if you can save effort and spend some money!
It's a pity that there is no electric winch, if there is an electric winch, it will be more convenient for him to troll.
After a while, feeling the weakening of the pulling force, Zhang Ze knew that it was time.
So he minimized the power of the trolling boat and began to spin the reel.
Soon the fish was pulled to the side of the boat, and it was a rice-level sea wolf, which should have more than twenty catties.
This size is relatively large among sea wolves, and it is estimated that it can be sold for about sixty pounds in later generations, and one can be sold for more than a thousand.
However, sea wolves are not a particularly popular fish, and if the angler wants to sell it, the actual price should be much cheaper, maybe half cheaper.
Fortunately, the price of seawolves in this era will not be particularly low, even if they get the aquatic station, the seawolves can sell for four cents a catty.
So he has at least eight yuan or more, which is a lot.
Zhang Ze dragged the fishing line directly to the sea wolf on the trolling boat, stepped on the head of the fish with his foot, and then used pliers to remove the hook from the mouth of the sea wolf full of fangs, and left it alone.
Jin Sanbao, who was fishing, saw Zhang Ze bring up a long fish from a distance, and said with a smile: "Aze still knows how to play, and he also deliberately made a small boat to fish." ”
Jin Fan nodded: "It seems to be easy to see him fishing like this, how did he come up with it?" ”
Chen Xudong is also rare: "I always feel that Aze knows a lot, especially about fishing. ”
Jin Sanbao agrees: "I heard that Aze is very good at fishing in his hometown, and he still made his fortune by going to sea. If he doesn't have any skills, can he return with a full load every time? ”
Zhang Ze didn't know about the discussion and chat of Jin Sanbao in the distance, so he hung up the bait and continued to fish.
This time, he drove back, mainly because he didn't want to get too far away from the multifish, and secondly, he wanted to return to the position where he had just hit the fish.
Since there are fish, it means that the location just now may be the channel where there are fish.
Just as Zhang Ze was approaching the position just now, a huge force suddenly came from the fishing rod, and the small tugboat in navigation was directly stopped.
The sudden inertia almost didn't throw Zhang Ze out, but fortunately he grasped the steering wheel steadily.
He was not frightened, but showed a look of surprise.
How big does this fish have to be if you can pull the small tugboat that starts to stop directly?
And at this moment, the unloading force of the fishing wheel cannot prevent the release of the fishing line at all, which also shows that it is a super big fish that has been hooked.
At this moment, there is no need to continue to open the thruster, Zhang Ze turned it off directly, then turned around and grabbed the fishing rod and lifted it fiercely, stabbing the fish first.
The rod was similar to what he expected, it was basically bent a little more and basically did not move.
Then he sat down, and instead of stopping the line from being released, he grabbed the rod first and let the fish drag the boat away.
The fish had enough strength to not only stop the small tugboat, but they all began to drag the boat away.
In the eyes of others, Zhang Ze's ship suddenly began to inexplicably go backwards.
Jin Sanbao was puzzled: "What's the matter, why is Aze still going backwards?" ”
"Is it possible that it is not Aze who is going backwards, but the fish who are dragging the boat and running?" Jin Fan had been paying attention to Zhang Ze, so he happened to see the momentary pause and the violent bending of the fishing rod.
"Hiss~ If the fish pulls the boat and runs, how big is this fish?" Jin Sanbao gasped and was envious.
They may encounter one or two particularly large fish throughout the year, and Zhang Ze has a harvest almost every time he goes to sea.
How can there be such a big gap between people and people?
It's outrageous!
And Zhang Ze is now paying full attention to the movements of the big fish under the water.
At present, the big fish is running directly in front of him, and it is getting closer and closer to the multifish.
Although the current angle does not collide, it is still possible to prevent it from running under the fishing boat.
The second is to let the fish drag the boat to consume its physical strength, waiting for the moment when it stops.
But at present, the speed of the trolling boat has not increased anymore, and the speed is about four or five knots per hour, which is not fast, depending on how long the big fish can last on the bottom.
As the trolling got closer and closer to the Duoyu, as Zhang Ze expected, the big fish seemed to be really ready to hide under the boat.
This is not good, this kind of big fish that can pull the boat to run is likely to be piled under the boat, and then he will not be able to pull the fish out except by the winch.
Moreover, he didn't want to crash into the Fishes and cause the ship to be wrecked.
So Zhang Ze hurriedly took out the fishing rod from the pedestal and began to pull it in the direction of the open sea on the left.
At first, it didn't work, but with all his strength, the big fish finally couldn't stand the pain in its mouth and shifted from its heart to the left.
It deflected, and even the small trolling began to deflect to the left.
Zhang Ze breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't completely relax, and continued to drag.
He didn't get away from the fishing boats, and he wouldn't be reassured.
After about ten minutes, when the trolling boat completely passed the Duoyu, Zhang Ze relaxed, and then just waited for the big fish to get tired.
However, the fishing line that has been released is already more than 100 meters at this time, and the fish is not close to him, but it is not far away.
Zhang Ze felt that this distance was just right, so he put his hand on the shaking bing, which had been rotating, and slowly exerted force.
As he exerted his strength, the speed of the trolling boat was noticeably increasing.
However, it is not too fast, and it can be seen from here that the speed of the fish is not very fast, and Zhang Ze immediately excluded large and fast fish such as tuna and herring swordfish.
If he catches these kinds, it is estimated that he will be speeding on the sea like a speedboat at this time.
However, after excluding those big fish, Zhang Ze was curious about what kind of fish he was in front of.
The speed is decent, but the strength is very sufficient, and the physical strength is still short, but I can't see it.
But the fish didn't appear, and Zhang Ze couldn't guess no matter how he guessed, so he just held the fishing rod and became a street runner on the sea.
When he was far away, he pulled the rod vigorously and adjusted the direction in which the fish swam.
Jin Sanbao and the others watched him turn around on the sea, and they all showed envious looks.
It looks like it's fun, and they want to play too!
"Ah Fan, Ah Dong, why don't we also get a small boat?"
Chen Xudong asked expressionlessly, "Okay, but where to put it?" ”
Jin Sanbao choked suddenly, yes, the boat is easy to buy, but where to put it?
Their boat is not enough space in the first place, if they put another small boat, then do they need to fish? (End of chapter)
