Chapter 90： This is fishing heaven

Chapter 90 This is Fishing Paradise

According to what the boatman said, the fish resources at the first fishing point are very good, and they are all big fish. Ten to twenty catties are very common.

But the actual location is still some distance away from Xisha. This fishing spot was actually discovered by the boat owners who often take fishing friends out to sea.

Here, when the luck is bad, there is no harvest, but when the luck is good, everyone will have a good harvest.

Therefore, every time the boat owner goes to sea, he will come to try his luck first, but the specific situation will not be known until the boat owner has seen the fish finder and notified everyone.

When fishing in places like Xisha Nanyou, don’t use the common sense and experience of fishing on the shore or offshore.

Many fishing friends who come to experience for the first time usually find that they can’t use any of their previous equipment except scissors.

Chu Mingcheng’s line group is considered a regular fishing group here. When fishing for deep-sea fish, you will often encounter big fish weighing forty to fifty kilograms.

After dinner, he saw that some people were already standing, so he hurried back to the room, took out his fishing rod, and took the No. 5 right fishing spot on the rear deck.

There is not much difference between the fishing positions on the front deck and the rear deck for fishing deep-sea fish, and there is plenty of space.

But the location on both sides of the ship is not so good, and the corridors are crowded with people coming and going.

The sea breeze at night is very cool, and the sun is not too cold just after sunset, but after a while, I need a coat.

Time passed slowly, Sky arrived at the target fishing spot, and the boatman brought good news that the fish resources at the fishing spot tonight were very rich, which made the fishing friends on the boat very excited.

Chu Mingcheng had already put on a waterproof jacket at this time, which could keep out the wind and water.

The night in the deep sea is very windy and turbulent. When the sea water hits the hull of the ship, the splashes will occasionally roll over the side of the ship and hit people. This is also the source of the humidity in the rooms on the first floor.

Chu Mingcheng was going to fish, so he called the boatman to ask about the types and prices of the bait.

"I'm lucky today. There are a lot of big fish down there. You can buy some live mackerel (also called Chizai) for ten yuan a catty."

"If you want to catch fish such as long-tailed birds, you can buy some Antarctic shrimp bricks. It only costs 80 yuan and weighs two and a half catties. They are all prawns. The ones used for making nests are cheaper, 60 yuan."

Antarctic shrimp bricks are frozen and need to be thawed out.

In addition, Antarctic shrimp rots quickly, and the head of the shrimp will turn black after thawing for a long time, which will affect the probability of taking the bait. Therefore, it takes about 4 to 6 hours to use up all the shrimp.

Or take it back in time to refreeze if it is not used up.

Considering that Antarctic shrimp bricks can not only be used for fishing, but also a sharp tool for making nests, he bought some of both types of bait.

He is going to use mackerel to try the fish mouth first. If the efficiency of catching big fish is low, he will go to catch smaller fish such as red-tailed birds.

Soon, the boatman sent a bucket of live mackerel and Antarctic shrimp bricks.

The boatman brought a small basket and hung it on the side of the boat, and then put a piece of shrimp brick, which is used to make a nest.

Installed in the sinker (shrimp cage) and launched into the water together with the hook bait, it will soon attract nearby fish.

Waiting for the shrimp bricks to melt, Chu Mingcheng opened the mackerel box and took a look. He found that the fish inside were basically 10 to 15 centimeters in size. Judging from the abdomen, it was still Australian mackerel.

When he sold this thing, the fish monger charged him four yuan, but it turned out to be more than doubled here, which is really a big profit.

But there is no way, the price he bought outside is about the same, and he has to move it up by himself, which is even more troublesome.

What’s more, most of the fish bought outside are dead, while the live fish are provided on board, which is a great advantage.

After a while, the prawns melted a little. Chu Mingcheng put the thawed Antarctic shrimps into the bottom sinker, then hung a mackerel and threw the hook bait into the water.

Under the weight of the big lead pendant, the hook bait sinks very quickly.

There is also a balance between the lead pendant and the leading wire. It must be prepared when fishing deep-sea fish in places like Xisha Nanyou. It is mainly used to prevent the leading wire and the main wire from being entangled.

Chu Mingcheng kept looking at the number on the electric winch until the number above stopped at 157 meters.

Then he recycled the three-meter line to avoid hanging the bottom.

However, due to the turbulent currents of deep-sea fishing, the fishing line is very long and the force-bearing area is large. Even a few kilograms of lead pendants may drift left and right under the action of the rapids, so it is necessary to always observe the condition of the fishing group relative to the bottom.

When the ocean current is strong, it needs to be lowered to prevent the fishing group from being too far away from the bottom.

On the contrary, if the ocean current becomes weaker and the line is not pulled up in time, it is easy to cause the fishing group to hang to the bottom. Deep sea bottom fishing is actually quite troublesome.

Chu Mingcheng himself is also fishing for the first time. Although he has learned a lot in theory, he has not practiced it yet.

Fortunately, the current at the bottom of the water is not very strong, and the 3-meter line he recovered is just right.

The fishing group is already in place, and it will depend on when the fish will take the bait.

After waiting for about three minutes, Chu Mingcheng noticed that the tip of the fishing rod shook suddenly, and then the rod was pushed down violently.

His eyes lit up, the speed of catching fish is good!

Judging from the situation of some fishing friends around, he was the first batch of fish caught.

Press the button quickly, and the Z30 electric winch starts. The strong pulling force makes the fish at the bottom have no ability to resist.

You can see that the fishing rod will vibrate from time to time, which is the performance of the fish struggling at the bottom of the water.

And judging from the angle of the fishing rod's downward bend, the fish caught are not small.

Chu Mingcheng watched the fishing line nervously. Under the light, he soon saw a red figure in the water.

The sound of the electric winch reeling in the line has long attracted the boatman responsible for helping to copy the fish. When he saw the fish come out of the water with gloves on, he helped pull up the fishing line, pulled the red fish up, and tied the white tie.

There is also the number 3 on the white cable tie, indicating that the fish caught with the No. 3 white cable tie belongs to Chu Mingcheng.

Pulled up from the deep sea quickly, the swim bladder of this red friend fish was vomited to the mouth.

Red friend fish do not need to be bled, and the boatmen have to take the fish to the ice bank.

And Chu Mingcheng, who was a little excited to catch such a big red friend, hurriedly stopped: "Wait a minute, let me see how heavy it is."

This red friend fish is a lot bigger than the one he caught in diving before, just in terms of size.

He lifted it up with a fish control device and found that the fish weighed a full twenty-three catties.

The red fish weighing more than 20 kilograms would definitely be surrounded by crowds at the pier in my hometown, but here, the boatman didn't respond at all, but a few fishing friends around turned their heads and looked at it, which seemed normal.

According to the previous selling price, this fish is worth more than two thousand.

Not counting the purchased equipment, the total cost of this trip should be about 10,000, so this is one-fifth of the cost?

Even at the normal price of 60 yuan a catty, that would be more than 1,300 yuan.

Chu Mingcheng was suddenly a little dazed. At this speed of making money, some fishing friends who came to Xisha to fish said that they were losing money. How did they lose money?

He looked around for a while, and there were people getting fish one after another, most of them were red fish, and someone got a big red one, more than one meter long.

In fact, this group of people had good luck today, and encountered a time when the ocean current was small.

Just yesterday, a ship stopped here for one night, but they encountered a plane flow, and the five-jin lead pendant was blown away.

There is a charter boat over there. Twenty-five people charter a 50-meter boat under three team leaders.

As a result, not only the planned live mackerel was not prepared, but even the big lead pendant was not prepared. As a result, the fishing friends on that boat could only sleep one night and leave.
