The ocean is so big that there are always some secret small fishing grounds hidden in every corner.
Some old fishermen have some secret reservations that they know but others don't know.
If Chen Wenzhe wants to gain something, he must go to a place like this.
At this time, he is not on the trawler, so only when he encounters a sea area suitable for the trawler to launch the net, he will control the fishing boat and set the net next time.
As we walked along the coastline of South Vietnam, we actually set nets three times, and each time we gained something.
If they can't encounter a school of fish, this group of non-professionals will have no choice at all.
However, as soon as they encounter a school of fish, their advantages become apparent.
Their fish finders, or sonar systems, are much more advanced than those on ordinary fishing boats.
After discovering a school of fish, they can use sonar imaging to adjust the direction of the trawl net to trap as many fish as possible in the net.
In this way, every harvest will be great.
Being close to the exclusive economic zone of South Vietnam, there are naturally very few fish schools. This is the key to being able to harvest something in a place like this.
This was considered the first time Chen Wenzhe showed his skills. He did not do it himself, but just gave some instructions, and achieved three big gains, which made the entire crew of the fleet become excited.
Gao Qijing was the happiest. Others only knew they had caught fish, but they didn’t know why they could catch so many fish even after setting the net three times!
He, Gao Qijing, now knows what kind of environment a school of fish must have to survive.
As long as they find this kind of sea area, their fish finders will work.
If you use a fish finder to look at the underwater situation, can you accurately track fish schools, and still catch fish?
Once he knows where there may be fish schools, he won't have to take chances when he goes out to fish in the future.
The two chatted all the way and collaborated three times, and everyone became familiar with each other.
Chen Wenzhe thinks Gao Qijing is a nice person, and at least looking at it now, he does things quickly and in an organized manner.
Gao Qijing felt that although his captain was young, he was very kind, patient and courageous.
If he hadn't been only twenty-three years old, he would have never had any doubts before.
At this time, he had no doubt at all whether Chen Wenzhe could find the fishing group.
The boat trip took nearly twenty hours of stop and go, which is almost a thousand kilometers away from the port.
Chen Wenzhe saw a fish jumping out of the water in the distance and ordered the boat to stop.
I looked around for a moment, then moved to another place, and did it again.
I came here four or five times, and each time I determined the coordinates of the sea area.
Of course, the fish finder on their boat is also turned on to maximum power and is constantly scanning the seabed.
Finally, in a sea area, Chen Wenzhe asked the pilot to stop the boat.
“We’ve arrived at the place, let’s fish right here!”
Seeing the driver pull down the accelerator lever, Chen Wenzhe turned to Gao Qijing and said.
Gao Qijing looked around and saw almost no fishing boats. Not even a fishing boat could be seen, let alone a fishing boat.
He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Gao Qijing asked with a little doubt: "Are you sure about this?"
He knows this sea area. The water here is very deep and ordinary marine fish will not live here.
Besides, even if they live here, there will be some deep-sea fish. Can they catch them?
"This is it! I heard someone say that this is the area where you can get tuna!"
Chen Wenzhe has carefully studied the underwater conditions here. There are fish schools here, which will naturally attract some large predators, such as various whales and tuna.
Among other things, he knew from some of the pictures from the longline fishing boat at his feet that this fishing boat came here to fish almost every year decades ago, and would always catch something.
It was his first time fishing, and the fish he caught was bluefin tuna. Chen Wenzhe was naturally very careful.
If he gets off to a bad start, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
Such a situation must never happen.
"The location is a bit out of the way!" Looking at the radar, there were some small fish on it, but they were not worth catching.
Schools of tuna, for example, are not found here.
Of course, he didn't discover anything along the way.
If tuna schools are so easy to find, they are either extinct or very cheap.
Although he didn't see any tuna, Chen Wenzhe knew what to do.
Just follow the methods of some old tuna fishermen and set the bait.
If there are schools of tuna here, they will always be hooked.
"You can cut the bait now. Just change the position and you can fish!"
Chen Wenzhe said to the stunned Gao Qijing.
Is this okay? Gao Qijing looked at Chen Wenzhe, glanced at the radar twice, and then said to change positions? How did he come to this conclusion?
Glancing at the brother who was constantly controlling the radar and scanning the underwater situation, Gao Qijing didn't know what to do. Just listen to the order!
Thinking that you are a crew member now, you should listen to the captain!
Gao Qijing feels that this young captain now has an extra feature that is consistent with his identity as a captain, and that is confidence!
After listening to Chen Wenzhe's words, Gao Qijing got out of the cabin, took out the ice bait, cut the packaging tape, and poured the fish into the bucket.
Then he took out a fish, cut it into three pieces on the head and tail, and then piled it in another wide-mouth plastic box.
Although he didn't believe that Chen Wenzhe could find the tuna school at once, Gao Qijing still chose to give it a try.
He is professional in fishing. Although he has never caught bluefin tuna before, he knows how to catch it very well.
It's just that he doesn't encounter opportunities. As long as he does, Gao Qijing has the confidence to catch bluefin tuna.
Chen Wenzhe looked at the surrounding sea area. This area belonged to the southwest of Luzon Island. If he wanted to, he could bypass Luzon Island and appear in the southeast or east of Luzon Island.
There is a sunken ship waiting for him in that sea area!
However, now is not the time to salvage other sunken ships. The main thing now is to find a way to transport the treasures from South Vietnam back.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe has no intention of staying here longer this time. As long as he has something to gain, he will go back soon.
At that time, he can let the ship stop for a while on the South Vietnam side.
Even if you don't transport the treasure, you can still check out the situation.
After waiting for the boat to stop, Chen Wenzhe took out one of the three poles and hung up the live bait.
Two of them were hung with ordinary mackerel as bait, and then one pole was placed on each of the three sides of the stern, and his work was done.
After finishing this, Chen Wenzhe was planning to return to the cockpit again and use the fish finder to check the surrounding situation.
However, it was the pilot's voice that came out: "Captain, there's something going on!"
Chen Wenzhe quickly came to the cockpit and immediately heard the beeping sound of the fish finder, and a smile appeared on Chen Wenzhe's face.
