Chapter 273： catch big fish

"Lolo, go to the next crab cage location."

Chu Mingcheng picked up the walkie-talkie and notified Jiang Luoluo in the cab.

"receive."

As soon as the voice on the walkie-talkie fell, the Poseidon, which had already warmed up its engine, started and slowly came to the next crab cage.

With the cooperation of the two, Chu Mingcheng quickly took back all the crab pots and shrimp pots.

At a depth of more than two hundred meters, shallow sea crabs such as normal swimming crabs cannot be caught.

The chance of encountering deep-sea crabs is relatively small, so this time it is a matter of course for the air force.

Fortunately, the shrimp cages made up for everything. There were spiny armored shrimps in the five shrimp cages, which weighed about 16 to 7 catties in total.

Not many, but compared to its rarity, it's not bad.

Arranged all the crab pots and shrimp pots neatly, and fixed them with packing straps, Chu Mingcheng opened the small door on the back deck and let the sea lions go to find fish schools to prey on their own, and help him find tuna by the way.

For this reason, he also took out his mobile phone and showed them the photos of the tuna. If there is a plug-in that can communicate, he believes that the three sea lions know what to do.

After the sea lion left, Chu Mingcheng came to the cab.

"Lolo, go to the third floor. The sea lions have already gone out to find fish. If we are all in the cab, we won't be able to find them."

Jiang Luoluo nodded and had no objection. She picked up the binoculars and came to the third floor.

The third floor is the place for outdoor rest and entertainment on the ship. Usually, friends can drink tea and chat when they come. There is also a flying bridge above it for shade.

As for the cabin, it looks like one floor from the outside, but it is actually divided into three floors.

The wheelhouse is on the second floor. Normally there is a captain's lounge here, but he didn't want it, and replaced it with a sofa and coffee table.

The first floor is the kitchen and living room. There is another floor below the deck, two separate bedrooms, both with a large bathroom, which even has a bathtub.

There is also a dance studio with a small toilet.

Thus, for Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo, although the Poseidon is not a yacht, its level of comfort is not inferior to yachts of the same level.

Poseidon is slowly driving on the sea surface, and the situation of underwater fish on the fish finder will be refreshed every second.

The red dots and yellow dots representing fish will change slightly after each refresh, but unfortunately there are no thick red lines representing fish schools or big fish.

After ten minutes, Jiang Luoluo's voice rang through the intercom.

"Ah Cheng, Xiao Hei is coming from the left, please stop for a moment."

"OK!"

Chu Mingcheng immediately stopped the ship when he heard the words, and then hurried to the rear deck.

Jiang Luoluo looked at him curiously on the third floor. He touched Xiao Hei's head, and then Xiao Hei swam to the bow of the boat, about twenty meters away.

Chu Mingcheng returned to the cab and started the Poseidon again.

Seeing the boat moving, Xiao Hei swam on the sea surface, sank for a while from time to time, and then suddenly appeared on the front left or front right of the boat.

Jiang Luoluo didn't know that Chu Mingcheng could order Xiao Hei, but he just sighed that the sea lion was really smart.

The Poseidon just followed it, and after about twenty minutes, several thick red lines appeared on the bottom of the fish finder.

The three red lines on the surface of the water are three sea lions. After the boat stopped, they left this side directly to look for fish to fill their stomachs.

Chu Mingcheng was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that the three sea lions could actually find a big fish. Looking at the trajectory of the red line, it should be tuna, and there is a small probability that it is a shark.

As for Xiao Hei and the others leaving, this is what Chu Mingcheng ordered.

After taking him to the waters with tuna, he can go to the nearby waters to forage, but not too far away, so as not to encounter sharks or killer whales and run back.

Although it is only a few tens of nautical miles away from the southernmost part of Baodao, there are definitely a lot of ferocious predators. Sea lions are only in the middle of the food chain, which is nothing.

If it is possible, Chu Mingcheng actually wants to know a few killer whales, at least he doesn’t have to worry about them suddenly getting cold.

And in the case of killer whales, tuna may appear, but sharks will definitely run far away.

Looking at the thick red lines moving back and forth on the fish finder, Chu Mingcheng made sure that they would not go far away for the time being, so he adjusted the position of disembarking, with the bow of the boat facing the sun.

He went to the rear deck and pressed a button to raise the sunshade.

Then he beckoned to Jiang Luoluo: "Luoluo, come down to fish!"

"Okay!" Jiang Luoluo agreed, and ran down quickly.

When she came down, the sunshade equipment had been automatically set up, and because of the angle, the sunlight was completely blocked.

The wind is not very strong today, and the spread of the sunshade cloth did not make the Poseidon shake more violently.

Chu Mingcheng took off the cloth cover on the chair at the stern of the boat, brought in two heavy fishing rods, and installed them in the fishing holes on the stern of the boat.

He himself uses a large drum reel, and the length of the fishing line reaches a thousand meters.

Jiang Luoluo is equipped with an electric reel, and the fishing line is also 1,000 meters long.

She caught two hundred catties of tuna, but with the electric reel, she could catch one, and she could catch a few more.

If you use a drum like him, it's hard to say whether you can catch one.

A two-hundred-jin tuna can't be handled by a thinner man, so at least two people have to take turns.

The distance between the two locations is quite far, so as long as you pay attention, there is a high probability that the line will not be tangent.

Then Chu Mingcheng took out another box of mackerel baits, hung one on each of the two fishing rods, and threw it into the water.

The mackerel quickly descended to the water layer of the tuna along the five-kilogram lead pendant and stopped at this position.

Then Chu Mingcheng took out the fish-killing knife again, chopped the mackerel into three pieces, and put them into a bucket.

Jiang Luoluo had already put on cut-resistant gloves, and threw the mackerel meat he had chopped into the water in twos and threes.

With the cooperation of the two, in just a short while, the mackerel was thrown about twenty catties.

"Is the bait enough?" Jiang Luoluo felt that he had thrown a lot, so he couldn't help asking.

"It should be enough to throw this much more." Chu Mingcheng continued to chop fish without stopping.

Jiang Luoluo had a good idea of ​​how much he had thrown, so he couldn't help but click his tongue: "The cost of catching a tuna is really too high. If it were the Air Force, the cost of making a nest just once would be almost the same as two days' wages for ordinary people."

Chu Mingcheng said with a smile after hearing the words: "But if you can catch it, the profit will be great. The cost of four or five hundred can be exchanged for at least seven or eight thousand, or even two to three hundred thousand if it is more. Anyone is willing to do it!"

"That's true!"

Jiang Luoluo nodded in approval, and continued to throw mackerel bait.

As she continued to make nests, a fish nest with a range of about ten meters was soon formed at the stern of the boat, and a small pile gathered at the bottom of the water.

The appearance of the bait landing itself will attract fish to come and observe to see if it is food.

The red line displayed on the fish finder is rapidly approaching the Poseidon, and several large tuna found food accumulated on the bottom of the water.

These foods are very familiar to them, so they rushed forward to grab them without hesitation.

Tuna can breathe only when swimming, so after swallowing a piece of fish, it will swim forward for more than ten meters before turning around and coming back.

The food accumulated on the bottom of the water is almost eaten twice, but this is not enough to fill their stomachs, so the mackerel hanging on the hook attracts them.

Jiang Luoluo was still throwing fish pieces, the next moment, she saw the fishing rod on the left suddenly bend down, making a "squeak" sound.

The fishing line was also pulled out at an extremely fast speed, and the handle turned into a hot wheel, and the unloading force of the drum seemed to be unable to prevent the tuna from escaping at all.

"It's a hit!" Jiang Luoluo quickly reminded.

Chu Mingcheng also noticed the movement of the fishing rod when she reminded him, immediately dropped the fish killing knife, stepped forward to grab the fishing rod with both hands and lifted it vigorously.

The fishing rod was lifted up immediately, and the tip of the rod made a "whoosh" sound.

"The fish is not small!" Lifting the pole to stab the fish, let him roughly know the size of the fish through the feel of his hand, and his face is happy.

"Haha, it seems that the cost will be recouped soon." Jiang Luoluo threw the fish pieces back into the bucket, washed his hands, sat on a chair, and waited for the fish to take the bait.

Chu Mingcheng's side was hit, and she felt that her side would probably be fast too.

But in fact, the movement of the tuna biting and struggling at the bottom of the water scared away its companions, and there is no movement on her side for the time being.

Chu Mingcheng held the fishing rod with one hand, and quickly reeled in the line with the handle with his right hand. He had a rough idea of ​​the tuna's strength, and he was able to hold it.

After taking some line, he took the fishing rod out of the fishing hole and held it in his arms in order to speed up the consumption of the tuna's physical strength.

The moment he was hugged, his whole body was pulled forward.

It's just that his own strength is not what it used to be, but he stands firmly in place.

"Ah Cheng, I think you can fish while sitting on a chair!" Jiang Luoluo looked at the height of the chair and said.

Chu Mingcheng looked back at the chair, and felt that it was indeed ok.

So he held the fishing rod and lifted it up. After moving two steps, he sat down on the chair.

With both feet on the pedals, he immediately felt a lot easier, and the height of the chair was enough, so he could still see the water surface in front of him clearly.

"This design is good, people can sit and walk the fish, it feels as easy as sitting on a boat and trolling."

"Haha, I only found out after I sat down, maybe I can catch a big fish while sitting without an electric winch!"

"Then you'd better use the electric winch, I feel sorry for exhausting you."

The frank love words made Jiang Luoluo's eyes widen, and a series of goosebumps immediately appeared on his arms.

She rubbed her arm straight, and complained: "Why are you so numb all of a sudden, look at my arm, goosebumps have arisen."

But even though he said that, the smile in his eyes was not lacking at all, and it was obvious that his heart still benefited.

"Hey~" Chu Mingcheng smiled and did not speak again.

The fish is a bit big, even with his current physique, he can't take it lightly.

With the tail of the rod on his stomach, he began to lift the fishing rod up and down, and pulled the fish back in coordination with the take-up line.

When the fish broke out, he held on to the rod and froze.

Although I feel that I can continue to pull it back, it is not necessary.

After the first wave of powerful outbreak is over, it will be easy to catch later.

Currently, the fish has probably run more than 200 meters. For tuna, this distance is not too far.

Then when he retracted the fishing line for more than 50 meters, Jiang Luoluo also sent good news that the fish was caught.

Looking at how far the fishing rod bends, it is definitely a similarly big fish.

Tuna are grouped according to their size. If he catches big ones, Jiang Luoluo will naturally not catch small ones.
