Chapter 293： Assistance is very important

Chapter 293 Assistance is very important

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Chu Mingcheng and Chen Yang finally arrived at their destination.

Their location is more than 190 nautical miles offshore, and the open sea is not far away.

The domestic sea area is vast, and they didn't encounter any ships along the way, and they didn't even find a lighthouse when they came here.

On the road, Chu Mingcheng actually encountered a wave of tuna fish, but unfortunately, after catching one, it was found to be long-waisted tuna.

This kind of tuna does not grow very big, and its basic size is about 20 catties. It is not even comparable to albacore tuna, and it is not in the list of competition fish.

It is reasonable to exclude this tuna from the fishing competition. The fish is too small, and it seems that it does not have the passion and excitement of fighting big things.

Fishing contestants will be specially recorded by a follow-up shooting team, and then edited and posted on the website in the form of a variety show. How can a small fish get clicks and plays.

If it weren't for the fact that fishing is basically done by big bosses, the organizers would have wished that there were all handsome men and women like Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo.

How much the fishing guy can increase the playback volume depends on passers-by.

After a short while, the Poseidon stopped at a water area with a depth of about 180 meters. This is the continental shelf. If you want to find a deeper water area, you have to continue to visit, which is troublesome.

Chu Mingcheng put the anchor into the water, and the iron chain as thick as a forearm rattled, and quickly sank toward the bottom of the sea.

"Let's try to put fish-lure lights here tonight!"

Obviously, today's Chu Mingcheng doesn't plan to go to bed between twelve o'clock according to his previous work and rest habits.

Whether he will go to bed early at night depends on whether he can meet tuna at night. If he doesn’t, he will go to bed early naturally.

"Well, I'll prepare first." Jiang Luoluo didn't object, after all, he was participating in a competition, so it's normal to work harder.

Moreover, whether or not the family runs a fishing tackle manufacturing factory depends entirely on whether they can get a high ranking, relying on the traffic of this fishing competition to increase the reputation of the two of them.

Although there were only two of them, Chu Mingcheng's performance in the past was so amazing that she was full of confidence.

Jiang Luoluo first put all the fish lure lights into the water, and then returned to the cab. She needs to help keep an eye on the fish finder, and she must notify any time if there are big fish coming.

Chu Mingcheng naturally prepared the assembly of the fishing rod and fishing line first, and the bait had to be taken out to defrost.

He prepared 1,000 catties of sardines for this trip to sea. They don’t have to be chopped into pieces like mackerel, but the cost is a bit higher, 10,000.

Compared with mackerel, sardines seem to have a better nesting effect.

Of course, if you can meet small bonito, then the effect of catching some as bait is the best.

Chu Mingcheng is preparing, and Chen Yang is doing the same.

They also put fish lure lights to attract tuna, but there are four men on the boat, which seems to be more busy.

As for Zhao Jun's wife, she is in charge of the logistics of the entire ship. Of course, the main thing is to cook and clean the deck of the boat after every fishing.

You can't expect a group of men who are exhausted with tuna to do these chores!

Time passed slowly, and after getting ready, Chu Mingcheng did not wait for the big fish.

If you want large fish to take the bait faster, it is not enough to simply rely on low-grade tuna panels. He needs to catch some live bait.

The live baits that tuna like to eat include sardines, mackerel, skipjack, small tuna and squid.

However, it is quite difficult to buy these baits on the shore, mainly because they do not arrive at the selling point early.

Even if you can buy it, the price will be very high, and the cost performance is quite low for normal tuna fishing.

Therefore, there is no market for live tuna bait, so no one will buy it, which makes it difficult to buy. This is a cycle.

The big fish didn't come at this time, but Chu Mingcheng had already learned from Jiang Luoluo that there was a school of fish moving under the water.

Considering that the live bait needed is not large, he deliberately cut the sardines into small pieces and fished for the bottom with a hook.

After setting up the hook and putting on the bait, Chu Mingcheng, who was just about to fish, heard Jiang Luoluo's voice: "Acheng, a group of fish suddenly appeared in the water layer of the fish luring lamp. There are a lot of them. You can try fishing." try."

"It's a pity that the moving trajectory is too slow. I thought it was a school of tuna at first!"

The fish finder cannot detect specific fish, and when a large number of fish gather, it will also display a thick red line, making people mistakenly think that a big fish is coming.

But experienced people will judge whether it is a large fish such as tuna or marlin based on the movement track of the thick red line.

Jiang Luoluo, who has been with Chu Mingcheng for so long, obviously has experience.

He immediately changed his mind about fishing for the bottom. The fishing light was sixty meters underwater, so he threw the hook into the water, and then opened the line cup.

When the shifting hook came to about 60 meters above the water layer, he immediately locked the line cup, stopped the fishing line and continued to release, and then waited quietly.

It didn't take long before there was movement from the fishing rod.

Chu Mingcheng immediately picked up the fishing rod and stabbed the fish, but the feeling made him a little strange.

Normal fishing will cause the fishing rod to vibrate continuously when the fish is struggling, but this time the fishing rod trembles and trembles very rhythmically.

Chu Mingcheng was a little impressed with this kind of feel, but because of the reason for the hook shifting, there may be more than one, so the feeling is a little different.

The unloading force of the spinning wheel has been turned to the maximum, and the things on the bottom of the water are pumping, making the spinning wheel make a "ding ding" sound.

Obviously, their strength is not very strong, and they still can't pull when the force is unloaded to the maximum.

If the thread can be pulled, the spinning wheel will make a continuous sound of "squeak~~".

Chu Mingcheng shakes the handle to quickly take up the line. Without the electric winch, it is so troublesome, otherwise just press it lightly and wait for the fish to be collected.

After a short while, the fish hadn’t appeared yet, but the water surface became even darker.

Originally, the sea surface at night seemed very deep, but fortunately, the lights on the fishing boat were bright enough, so that he could clearly see the water surface, and he could also feel that the sea water was a little green.

But there was an accident at this meeting, because the five hooks were hooked, and three squids that looked about forty centimeters in length were hung on them.

They sprayed ink, and after only a short while, the dyed sea water expanded a little more.

But when Chu Mingcheng saw clearly the type of squid that was hooked, he immediately revealed a look of surprise. It turned out to be a big-tailed squid, which is the best calamari!

Every July and August, the number of giant squid will increase dramatically.

Although the season has passed, it has not been long, and the number of big tail squid is still considerable.

Chu Mingcheng didn't bring up the big-tailed squid immediately, but dragged the fishing rod, constantly stimulating them, and let them vomit almost all the ink in their bodies before lifting them up.

The ink feels very dirty. It would be fine if you just stained the decks, but it would not be a good feeling if you put some ink on them too.

Using the hook remover to remove all the hooks, Chu Mingcheng picked up these big-tailed squids and put them into the living water tank, and turned on oxygenation.

Now there is live bait for tuna fishing. As long as you encounter large tuna, use sardines to attract them, and then use big tail squid as bait, the chance of tuna hooking will be very high.

Moreover, each of these big-tailed squid weighs three or four catties, and the taste is also superb. You can add extra meals to the two of them.

Chu Mingcheng washed his hands, and immediately took out his mobile phone to call Jiang Luoluo.

"Lolo, don't worry about the tuna. There are a group of big-tailed squid in the water. Come and fish together first."

"Big Tail Squid? Alright, I'll be right there."

The fish lure lamp did not attract tuna, but it was a surprise to have a group of big tail squid.

thump, thump, thump, and soon, Jiang Luoluo ran down.

Chu Mingcheng did not continue fishing while waiting for her to come, but tied another fishing rod with a hook.

Because the lines have been prepared in advance, all you need to do is tie the hook, so the speed is very fast.

Jiang Luoluo noticed the movement of the living water tank when he came over, first leaned over to have a look, and then came to his side: "It looks delicious, it's decided, I'm going to have a plate of braised squid tomorrow."

"Okay, I will let you be the chef these days." Chu Mingcheng smiled and handed her the finished fishing rod.

Jiang Luoluo agreed, took the fishing rod and started fishing.

However, just as the hook sank into the water, the tip of the pole lit up: "Hey, did you hit it?"

She raised the fishing rod in surprise, and two big-tailed squid appeared on the water.

Chu Mingcheng looked at the lights on the boat and understood.

Big tail squid should also have phototaxis. They were first attracted by the fishing lights at the bottom of the water, and then ran to the surface of the water because of the brighter lights from the boat on the surface.

Then it will save more effort to fish like this.

He quickly threw the hook out, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the fishing rod to move. This time, like Jiang Luoluo, there were two.

But before he took out the hook, he heard excited shouts from her next to her.

"Wow, wow, five at a time, take a look, Acheng."

“.”

Chu Mingcheng turned his head and gave a thumbs up.

He only tied five fishhooks, but they all bit the hooks. Jiang Luoluo grabbed the fishing line with both hands and lifted the big-tailed squid, which seemed a little difficult.

One weighs three to four catties, and five weighs between fifteen and twenty catties. It does take a bit of strength to get from the water to the boat.

Fortunately, due to the sharing of cheats, her physical fitness has improved a lot, and she was successfully promoted.

Jiang Luoluo happily took the hook, seemed to think of something, and asked suddenly: "By the way, Ah Cheng, I'm here to fish together, so what if the tuna comes and we miss it?"

Chu Mingcheng was very calm: "No, tuna also has phototaxis. When it comes, it will definitely be attracted by the fish lure lamp."

"However, there is a group of big-tailed squid on the surface of the water. This is their favorite food. They will definitely prey on it and come to the surface of the water."

"Then the tuna will explode and we'll know they're coming."

Jiang Luoluo was taken aback when he heard this, nodded, and stopped worrying about it.

Next, the two squid fishing was in full swing. In just half an hour, the two of them jointly caught more than 30 big-tailed squid, and the live water tank was full as far as the naked eye could see.

At this time, Chen Yang sent him a message.

"Ah Cheng, what's the situation over there? I don't even have any hair on my side. I should be in the air force today!"

Chu Mingcheng saw the message, thought for a while and replied: "I don't have tuna here, but there is a group of large-tailed squid attracted here, and the number is very large. Why don't you come and fish together!"

"Big tail squid can be kept in live water tanks as live bait to increase the chance of tuna biting."

Chen Yang replied immediately after seeing the message: "We will come right away."

Obviously, even if it was a group of squid, he would rather use up some gas to come here, at least today there is no need for the air force.

However, sometimes bad luck follows one another, and so does good luck.

Chuming City was undoubtedly lucky tonight. Just as Chen Yang came over, the sea on the side of Chuming City suddenly burst into water, making a splashing sound.

In the silent night, this voice was very clear.

"Yuyu. It's tuna!" Jiang Luoluo, who was still fishing for big-tailed squid, saw a huge tuna jumping out of the water with his own eyes, and immediately pointed to the sea surface to remind him excitedly.

"Haha, it's finally here!" Chu Mingcheng hurriedly threw the large-tailed squid into the living water tank, and then quickly came to the side of the boat to observe the situation on the water surface.

Basically nothing can be seen, but if you look closely, you can find tuna occasionally appearing on the water surface for a day or two.

"Lolo, put away your fishing rod first, I'm going to start fishing for tuna."

"Um"

Jiang Luoluo nodded and took back the fishing line.

She doesn’t need her to catch tuna, mainly because she is inefficient and no one takes turns with her, so she only needs to do some auxiliary things.

After taking back her own fishing rod, she also put away the one from Chu Mingcheng, and put it aside first.

Then she found a bucket, filled it with some seawater, and then took a few large-tailed squids she had just caught from the live water tank and put them in, and brought the bucket to Chu Mingcheng, ready to take bait at any time.

Tonight, there is no need to make a nest. The tuna is attracted to the surface of the water by the big-tailed squid, so just use the big-tailed squid to catch it.

Some people may think that there are big tail squid here, why would these tuna eat his bait.

This can be understood from the hunting habits of animals. Cats in the animal world will choose their targets first when hunting.

The first choice for this target is the old, weak, sick and disabled. Among them, injured herbivores are more popular than herbivorous cubs.

Because the cubs are protected, the injured herbivores are the ones abandoned by the group, and are generally on the fringes of the group.

Obviously, the same is true for tuna. If they find injured giant squid in the water, they will also attack immediately to prey on this obviously less labor-saving food.

This is also the main reason why Chuming City occasionally encounters large fish that prey on fish schools, but can still catch the target fish. This is the law of the jungle in nature.

Two heavy-duty boat rods were installed in the fishing hole by him, and one more was added to increase the chance of taking the bait.

When there is a middle fish, Jiang Luoluo will immediately put away the other fishing line, so as not to affect Chu Mingcheng who is fishing.

Grabbed two big-tailed squid, and then used the big hook to run across the squid's body, turning them from black to white in pain.

Throwing the bait into the water, Chu Mingcheng adjusted the unloading force respectively, and then began to wait for the tuna to take the bait.

At present, the number of times tuna is fried in water is very small, and the night is dark, so he does not know what kind of tuna is coming and how many there are.

Fortunately, when I observed just now, I saw a few of them. It can be seen from the size of the fish that they are all very big, at least more than 150 catties, which fully meets the weight standard of the competition.

While waiting, Chu Mingcheng took the time to send a message to Chen Yang, telling him that a school of tuna came here, and asked him to come over quickly.

Bailong is about five nautical miles away from here, and it will take about 20 minutes to come here.

Chen Yang got the good news, and immediately told other people the news, which made Zhao Jun and his wife who were a little worried relax.

And Zhang Wei and Shu Ziqiang showed even more excited expressions. Obviously, a good start still boosts morale.

When they arrived at the destination, Chu Mingcheng had already caught a tuna.

Because a certain safe distance needs to be kept between the boats, Chen Yang and the others did not disturb him from fishing, but took out bait to prepare.

However, their sardine bait could not attract tuna at all. Four fishing rods waited for more than ten minutes without any movement.

Because the hook bait is too big, although some large-tailed squid are attracted, they cannot swallow the sardines together with the hook.

"I feel that sardines are useless. Why don't we divide them into two groups, one group continues to catch tuna, and the other group catches some squid as live bait?" Zhang Wei has the most fishing experience here, so he was the first to react and proposed suggestion.

Zhao Jun has been fishing for more than a year, and his experience is not bad, so he immediately agrees.

The remaining two naturally had no objections, and even called Zhao Jun's wife, who was fine for the time being, to fish for squid together.

Later they will definitely be divided into two groups to go fishing for tuna, so Zhao Jun's wife will be in charge of catching live squid.

Compared to the busy one on the White Dragon, the fishing here in Chu Mingcheng is relatively easy.

After the tuna took the bait, he lifted the fishing rod to feel it, and he roughly knew the weight of the fish, which was heavier than expected, probably more than 200 catties, but not more than 250 catties.

This is already a relatively good large tuna, and the quality is likely to be above good, and it is not impossible to even be excellent.

Now the competition is about the value of fish, so the higher the quality, the better, and the more expensive it is.

When the time came to half past eleven at night, the tuna was finally pulled to the side of the boat by Chu Mingcheng alone.

Jiang Luoluo held the hook in his hand, and when he saw the right moment, he leaned forward and reached out with both hands, and hooked the tuna's head accurately.

The tuna flicked its tail very quickly and struggled, even the hands that held her holding the long handle kept shaking.

Jiang Luoluo pursed her lips and tried hard to control the fish, preventing it from breaking free.

Chu Mingcheng did not take over, but grabbed the fishing rod to help control the tuna.

Actually, Jiang Luoluo is in charge of the fishing rod. It will be easier for him to hook the fish with the hook, which is what he usually does.

But the reason why I didn't do it today is that this is a competition, and it's two people participating together.

He can't do everything, which will make Jiang Luoluo feel no sense of participation, and even make her misunderstand that she can't help at all.

Since we are participating in the competition together, the sense of participation is naturally very important.

Chu Mingcheng would not let Jiang Luoluo do a lot of physical and physical work, and he would feel distressed, but such things as hooking fish were not included in this list.

After a while, the tuna stopped struggling, and she dragged the fish to the small fish door on the stern.

Now, Chu Mingcheng had to go over to help, because she couldn't pull up a fish weighing more than two hundred catties by force.

After taking the hook, Jiang Luoluo quickly opened the small door and let him drag the fish up.

"It's a good start today. It's not bad. It's a pity that it's yellowfin tuna, the cheapest."

"It's good to have them. After all, the number of yellowfin tuna is the largest, and there is a high probability that the tuna you encounter will be them."

It's a pity for Jiang Luoluo, but Chu Mingcheng is not picky at all, it's good to have it, but he is afraid that he won't meet the Air Force.

Afterwards, he took out the fish killing knife, but was snatched away by Jiang Luoluo.

"Let's save time, take this opportunity to continue fishing, I'll take care of this."

"Okay." Chu Mingcheng agreed without hesitation.

But after hanging up the big-tailed squid and throwing it into the water, he turned his head from time to time, apparently agreeing straightforwardly, and feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.

Bleeding such a large tuna requires a lot of strength in the hands, and the arteries in the gills and the tailbone of the fish must be cut off.

Jiang Luoluo had never handled such a large tuna, but she was not stage frightened at all. First, she took out the spikes and hammers for killing fish from the toolbox.

Then ride on the fish that is still a little alive, and aim the spike at the fish's head.

The hook was indeed stuck at the head of the fish just now, but it was actually a bit off, and the serious injury was not fatal.

Now the fish is still alive, if you want to bleed later, you must kill it completely.

There was a flash of hesitation in his eyes, and finally Jiang Luoluo picked up the hammer and hammered down hard. Because the force was a little lighter, the spike only went in half.

The tuna, which was dying at first, came back to life and struggled violently again.

"Oops~"

Jiang Luoluo, who was sitting on the fish, was a little unsteady immediately, and quickly pressed his hands on the fish to stabilize his body.

Fortunately, tuna doesn't have much strength now, so she can still control it.

After a while, after the tuna stopped, she didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately picked up the hammer and knocked down hard again.

Compared to just now, this time the force is stronger, and the spike is directly submerged in its entirety.

The tuna's mouth was opened to the maximum, but this time it froze and didn't move at all. It looked like a pig's body froze for a moment when it was electrocuted.

Next, Jiang Luoluo got down from the fish, opened the gill cover, inserted the fish killing knife in, and tried to cut off the artery.

She has killed a lot of fish and knows how to bleed.

Although it was a bit difficult, she managed to cut the artery, and the blood spurted out, and soon stained the deck under the tuna's body red.

Next she cut off the tail, put the water pipe into the fish's mouth, blocked the artery and flushed all the blood out of the fish.

The blood is washed away, and finally the belly is disembowelled, and the internal organs are cleaned and thrown away.

After finishing her work, Jiang Luoluo wiped a little sweat from her forehead with her arm, and breathed a sigh of relief. When she saw Chu Mingcheng's thumbs up to her, she immediately showed a bright smile.

Participated in, will be further satisfied.

Just as Jiang Luoluo was about to tie the fish to the tuna's body with a crane and send it into the refrigerated cabin, one of the fishing rods at Chu Mingcheng finally moved again.

She didn't care about putting the fish in the refrigerated compartment, and hurried forward to take back the fishing line next to Chu Ming City, which can be regarded as a very good support.
