Chapter 138： Zhang Wei: Did I catch any fish? I don't!

Chapter 138 Zhang Wei Did I catch any fish? I don't!

After cutting a bottle, Chu Mingcheng handed both the scissors and the bottle to Chen Yang: "Ah Yang, help me cut out the bottle first, and I'll catch Mrs. Shrimp first."

Chen Yangyang has a steady personality, so it is more suitable to do these boring things.

He didn't have any objections, picked up the scissors and started working.

Chu Mingcheng’s arrangement for Zhang Wei is very simple, just sit in the driving seat and pay attention, and remind him if there is a boat on the opposite side.

Then he sat himself on the other side, took out a bundle of fishing line, and began to make traps with bamboo sticks.

The method of making this trap is the same as the trap he made to catch pheasants when he was a child. In addition, there are also teaching materials on the Internet, so he learned it quickly.

At that time, the pheasant was not yet protected. Under the leadership of some big friends, he often went to the mountains to set traps.

Of course, this is only used when catching large prawns. To catch small prawns, just buy a "pump" online.

As the boat arrived at the first destination, Chuming City made exactly ten traps.

It is around ten o'clock in the morning, just before the ebb tide, and many of the coral reefs that were flooded yesterday are exposed.

Bottles are all tangled up by fishing line and pulled up in a row.

One end of the fishing line was tied to the side of the boat, and the other end was tied with two large lead weights of five kilograms, and thrown into the seawater.

As the bottles are filled with seawater, each bottle slowly sinks under the action of the lead pendant.

Because of the weight of the lead pendant, the fishing line is pulled straight, but the bottle will not fall off if the fishing line is wound around the mouth of the bottle a few times.

It is convenient for him to play Aunt Xia back and forth by himself, so as not to have Zhang Wei and Chen Yang come over to help frequently.

Chu Mingcheng put on his diving suit, mask, underwater camera, net bag and spear.

No other equipment was worn, since the two of them didn't know diving anyway.

"The two of you can go fishing on the boat. The fish resources next to the coral are generally not too bad. I'll go get Mrs. Shrimp."

Chen Yang has no objection, but Zhang Wei's expression is a little eager to try: "Isn't there a life jacket on the boat, how about I go with you?"

"The water is quite cold, are you sure?" Although the weather is fine today, the water temperature is much lower than when I took Jiang Luoluo to dive before, probably only 17 or 8 degrees.

It’s okay to wear a diving suit, and it has a certain effect of keeping warm. Most people can’t bear to wear a life jacket directly.

Zhang Wei hesitated when he heard it. He was wearing slippers, so he came to the steps and rolled up his trousers to test the water temperature.

Feeling a bit cold, he smiled sarcastically: "I'd better go fishing!"

Both he and Chen Yang know how to fish, but there is no need to teach them.

Chu Mingcheng took his own trap tool and swam to the coral reef.

After swimming to a water area about ten meters deep, he dived into the bottom of the water.

Today's main target is Banqin Shrimp, so he first started looking for the small hole.

When he was underwater, he saw a palm-sized scallop on a piece of coral, and he picked it up and put it in the net bag.

Then he found a small hole, put the bamboo stick that had been hung with squid meat into the small hole, picked up two stones to fix the bamboo stick to avoid being pulled into the hole by Xiagu.

After he was done, he left here to find the next target.

For a while, he forgot to swim to the surface to take a breath, and let the two people on the boat take a look.

It's just that the two men on the boat were also a little careless. They were concentrating on fishing at the other end and didn't pay attention to the situation on his side.

In fact, it is subconscious trust. After all, Chu Mingcheng has learned how to fish and hunt, and with so much seafood last night, isn’t it easy to dive to catch shrimp?

And this time, Chu Mingcheng found that there were quite a lot of conchs here, and they were just ready to eat at noon, so he collected some.

At the same time, a clear water grouper was found under a coral reef.

Its hiding place is really good, its sides and back are full of rocks, and it can only escape in the direction of Chuming City.

At this time, it hid inside and remained motionless, only breathing slowly with its mouth opening and closing.

Chu Mingcheng put the trap in his hand on a piece of coral and pressed it down with stones, and then slowly swam over.

The movement and movement were kept to a minimum, but in fact this clear water grouper was still a little uneasy.

It's just that it didn't escape, but went further inside.

Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng approached and stretched out his hands, and directly pressed it inside.

The clear water grouper struggled crazily after being held down, but it had very little room to move and had little room to struggle.

Chu Mingcheng moved his hands slowly, pressing his left hand firmly on its head, trying to catch its gills.

Grab the tail with your right hand and keep it as still as possible.

Soon, the Qingshui grouper was caught by him. It is estimated that it only weighs three catties, not big.

Because he was alive, he didn't dare to put in the net bag, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he would be run away.

So Chu Mingcheng grabbed the fish and swam towards the boat.

Come to the steps behind the boat and throw the fish onto the deck: "You two, put the fish in the live water tank!"

"I'll go, how did you catch this live fish?" Zhang Wei hurried over and caught the fish.

"Doesn't it matter if you have hands?" Chu Mingcheng spread his hands in the water, no matter how he looked at his expression, it seemed to be a bit Versailles.

Zhang Wei: "Damn it, you just know how to dive, and you pretended to do it."

Chen Yang, who has no resistance to expensive seafood, has already gathered up this meeting, looked at the fish, and his eyes lit up: "Ah Cheng, what kind of grouper is this?"

"This is called Qingshui grouper. It is considered a good grouper. It is much stronger than green grouper and the like. It is on the same level as tiger grouper!"

"The same grade as the tiger spot? That's fine, leave this fish to me!"

Chu Mingcheng knew what he meant, and shook his head with a smile: "Don't worry, let's talk about it when we get back, maybe there will be better fish by then!"

Hearing what he said, Chen Yang felt more anticipation in his heart.

The three continued with their own business, and Chu Mingcheng swam to the position just now.

Just passing the first trap, he was surprised to find that the trap had been triggered.

Pulled out the bamboo stick to see, oh ho, good guy, a banqin shrimp with the size of a forearm was pulled out.

Being caught by the fishing coil, it moved a few times, but unfortunately it couldn't break free.

He turned over Aunt Banqin Shrimp's belly and saw a line of shrimp paste clearly appeared in his sight, it was still a female shrimp.

This is very expensive, a whole hundred yuan more expensive than male shrimp.

Bringing this little shrimp, he came to the side of the boat and put it into the bottle.

Because the bottles were in the water, the two people on the boat were not disturbed.

Catching Aunt Xia was much easier than I expected. Chu Mingcheng didn't plan to look for other creatures while looking for the small hole this time.

He first swam quickly on the water surface, and put down the trap every time he found a small hole.

It took more than ten minutes, and all the traps in his hand were used up.

Then he went to look at the first trap, and it turned out that Aunt Xia had already been caught.

Catching the prawns went much smoother than he expected, but when all the traps were put away, there were only five prawns that were more than 20 centimeters long, and the others were relatively small and he released them directly.

Looking at the time, it was eleven o'clock, but he didn't plan to go back, but went to another area that hadn't been explored, and set seven more traps.

Because he had caught ten Banqin Shrimp before, he had some experience.

The openings of Xiagu's holes are very small, but in fact, according to the size of Xiagu, after digging a little, you will find that the diameter inside will increase a lot.

So this time he dug a little bit of the hole first, put traps in the ones with long diameters, and ignore the small ones.

Going back to the first trap didn't trigger this time, so he went back to the boat first.

Chu Mingcheng grabbed the fishing line, and with the other hand, he took the bottle containing Banqin Shrimp and spun it around a few times, and the bottle was taken down.

He swam to the steps of the boat and shouted to the two fishermen: "Which one of you is free, fill a fish tank with some sea water, then put this bottle in and start the oxygen pump."

There is a fish on Zhang Wei's side, and he is not free.

Chen Yang happened to be fine, so he walked over, looked at the shrimp in the bottle, and was a little surprised: "I don't know when you caught it."

"The bottle is in the water, and you can't hear the movement."

"Ok!"

Chen Yang filled the fish box with sea water, picked up the bottle and put it in to turn on the oxygen pump, while Chu Mingcheng continued to dive into the bottom of the water to bring up the other four bottles with shrimps.

"Not bad, I caught five of them, and they are all this big!" Zhang Wei also came over, holding a small fish as usual.

Blue and black, you can tell it is an ornamental fish at a glance.

Chu Mingcheng who was watching was stunned for a while: "No, you are still fishing for small fish after you go out to sea?"

Zhang Wei felt that he had been greatly ridiculed, and he jumped up and said, "What do you mean I still catch small fish when I go out to sea? It's because your position is too bad, and there are no big fish at all, okay?"

As a result, Chen Yang also quietly added a knife to the side: "I just caught a three-jin black bream."

"I stepped on the horse" Zhang Wei threw the small ornamental fish he just caught into the water with a "boom", "You are blind, when did I catch the fish?"

"." Chu Mingcheng and Chen Yang looked at each other, and Qi Qi gave him a thumbs up.

This is the air force who would rather be insulted by Xiaoyu!

It was already noon, and the three of them were hungry.

Chu Mingcheng asked them to take out the induction cooker and pot, seasonings, and the meat and vegetables bought in the morning when they returned to the boat.

With some dipping sauces, the ingredients can be eaten as soon as they are hot in the pot, and the conch and scallops caught in the morning are also included.

Eating 80% full at noon, after a little digestion, Chu Mingcheng went into the water again to see the situation of the trap.

The seven traps were still all hit, and what he did was right, five of them were more than 20 centimeters in size, and only two were a little small and were released.

It's a pity that the fish resources in this place are mediocre. Except for the Qingshui grouper caught in the morning, there are no other valuable big fish.

There is not even a lobster, maybe this place is not very far from the pier, so people often take care of it!

It’s the Banqin Shrimp who hide in the caves, and they are usually easily overlooked, so no one deliberately goes into the water to do this.

But Chu Mingcheng didn't know the details, so he wiped the sea water off his body with a towel, and without thinking about cleaning, he sailed to the next destination.

The next destination is a group of rocky reefs with a large area.

The distance is a bit far, it took nearly an hour, and the boat came to the vicinity of this rocky group.

It is quite far from the pier, and the sea water looks blue and green on the surface.

But there is a question that makes Chu Mingcheng very puzzled. There are many boats at the pier, but he finds that after he goes out to sea, he rarely encounters other fishing boats no matter where he goes, and he doesn’t know where those people go fishing. .

For the time being, he hasn't figured out the routes of those fishermen, so he can only find a suitable place by himself.

Chen Yang and Zhang Wei were still fishing, and Chu Mingcheng went into the water again.

Seeing blue-green sea water on the sea surface indicates that the actual water color is not good.

The best state of seawater is blue water, as long as there is a little green, it means that the water is a bit cloudy.

The greener the greener, the more muddy it is, so green is unacceptable. This is a warning given by nature.

The waves here are a bit big, and Chu Mingcheng needs to spend some effort to balance his body after entering the water.

It is estimated that the current speed has reached three to four knots, and only veterans of fishing and hunting can dive in this kind of water.

He dived into the water and noticed that the visibility here was about ten meters, which was not bad.

He originally wanted to swim to the rocky reefs, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the fish resources at the bottom of the water were exceptionally rich.

No, it seems that he looked at the fish finder and didn't notice the fish!

So he swam back to the boat and shouted: "Zhang Wei, go inside the boat and check the fish finder to see if there are any fish on it. By the way, bring my speargun here, I'm going to hunt!"

"Oh, ok." Zhang Wei walked into the cockpit quickly, and when he came out, he was holding a speargun in his hand, "Ah Cheng, there are fluctuations on the fish finder, and there are some thick red spots, which means there are fish?"

Chu Mingcheng nodded: "Yes, I saw a group of Zhanghong and Hongyou at the bottom of the water. Hurry up and go fishing."

"Okay!" Zhang Wei handed him the speargun and went fishing with excitement.

Chen Yang heard what they said the whole time, so he also put away the small fishing rod and replaced it with a larger fishing rod and a thicker line set.
