"Seven hundred meters ahead!" the driver shouted excitedly.
As soon as Chen Wenzhe looked at the screen, he knew that there was a group of huge bluefin tuna feasting on the seabed at a depth of six to seven hundred meters.
And if your boat is stuck in the perfect position, the ocean current will carry the bait to this group of fish.
After cutting the bait, Gao Qijing directly moved a small bench and sat next to the side of the boat.
Each time you put a piece of bait on your spear, just throw it into the water.
There are bluefin tuna here, just wait and bite the bait, and you will get something.
Gao Qijing kept throwing bait, while Chen Wenzhe stayed in the cabin and listened to the radio turned on by the pilot.
Listening to the human voices coming from the radio and the public channel, Chen Wenzhe found it very interesting.
However, some of the words were in dialects, some were in foreign languages, and many of them he couldn't understand.
However, after the driver explained it briefly, Chen Wenzhe remembered it.
Soon, he could get a rough idea of some dialects, slang, and even the languages of other small countries.
At least he knew what some keywords meant.
The fishing boats fishing in this area are all connected. There is nothing we can do. It turns out that this place is not peaceful.
In the past twenty years, due to the rise of China and the rapid increase in maritime power, some small countries with ideas have eliminated groups of pirates.
Is it hard to imagine? More than ten years ago, there were a large number of pirates in this Southeast Asian sea with dense islands.
Moreover, the pirates here were extremely powerful back then.
This has resulted in a situation where some fishermen who make a living at sea cling to each other.
Even if it is safe now, this kind of thing is inevitable.
The situation here is too complicated, with fishing boats from various countries mixed in, and conflicts are inevitable.
Of course, given Chen Wenzhe's current situation on the ship, he is not afraid of trouble.
After listening for a while, Chen Wenzhe understood the situation here, mainly to find out information from each other!
What came over the radio were the voices of captains on some nearby fishing boats.
From here Chen Wenzhe knew which boat had caught another fish, or the captain who had not caught it, and spoke with envy.
The waters of Southeast Asia are really very chaotic, mainly because there are too many fishing boats, fishery administration vessels, and law enforcement vessels from various countries.
If you include the warships from various countries, there really is no peaceful place here.
In addition, there are some troublemaking countries here, which clearly don’t have much strength, but they still come out to act haphazardly.
This makes the sea area here become even more chaotic.
Therefore, no matter which country the fishermen are from, there is a public channel for communication.
If you are in danger, you can also ask for help on this channel.
For example, if there is an accident in the fishing ground, you are bullied, robbed, driven away, etc., you can ask for help.
After listening for a while, Chen Wenzhe felt bored.
They all say irrelevant things, or they are just showing off how much they have gained, without any useful information at all.
Just as he was about to leave the warehouse to check the situation, Chen Wenzhe heard a piece of useful information.
Someone did catch tuna, but it was not blue flag, but yellowfin tuna.
As long as it is tuna, it is more expensive than ordinary fish.
Through the conversations of these captains, Chen Wenzhe learned that tuna not only determines its price based on size, but also has different qualities.
A trawler lowered a net and unexpectedly caught two tuna.
This is an unexpected catch. Although it is not too big, neither one is more than one meter long, but for today's fishermen, every tuna is precious.
No matter how big or small, as long as you catch fish, you can make money.
Even though some fish are small, their quality may be higher than those twice the size.
The captain who caught yellowfin tuna this time is not the best among all fishing boats.
Every year during the fishing season, he is the number one picker.
However, Bijing has been working for more than ten or twenty years, and his level is still quite good.
After catching tuna, all the captains were asking where they lowered their nets.
The captain didn't hide it. After all, he was a trawler. If it weren't for an accident, he wouldn't be able to catch tuna at all.
After all, tuna is a deep-sea fish and usually lives in waters hundreds of meters deep.
He didn't hide anything and directly gave the coordinates.
"This is a new place? How is the fish nearby?" someone asked.
"Do you want to come over?" the captain of the trawler asked.
"I can't leave!"
"I'm too far over there!"
"Haha, I'm going back."
The captain who first asked actually refused.
"I'd better stay here first. A small school of fish was tracked on the radar."
Hearing this situation, Chen Wenzhe was still a little dazed.
Why were you so concerned at first, but now that you have a specific location, you don’t even go there?
After just a little thought, he figured it out.
If it was really a good tuna fishery, even the captain of the trawler wouldn't say it easily, would he?
Shaking his head, Chen Wenzhe felt a little bored.
Not wanting to continue listening to these people's nonsense, Chen Wenzhe stood up and walked outside to watch Gao Qijing throwing bait.
Gao Qijing looked at Chen Wenzhe who stretched his head and looked at the sea water, and asked: "Why don't you go over there and have a look? This time we come here, aren't we also going to catch tuna?"
"If there is a new fishing spot, no matter how generous the captain is, he will not tell others. Not to mention that he can catch several fish at once, even if he has caught one, even the experienced fishermen will not tell others."
Even for those veteran fishermen, everyone has a good relationship on the shore, but it is difficult to get other people's new fishing spots.
This is livelihood, and for some people it is survival.
For many captains, tuna is even the best way to make a fortune.
For example, Gao Qijing, how long has he been in this area?
But has he infiltrated the local fishermen circle? Definitely not, otherwise he wouldn't be so tempted as to sell himself out.
As long as he gets a little closer to some of the local old fishermen, even if he is familiar with them, he won't be able to do so badly.
The local old fishermen all have traditional fishing grounds passed down from their fathers or ancestors.
As long as Gao Qijing was given some guidance, he wouldn't have been so miserable.
From this we can also see how xenophobic the local fishermen are!
Of course, this must be attributed to Gao Qijing's carelessness. If he was serious about fishing, as long as he learned a little fishing knowledge, he would not just rely on luck to cast the net randomly.
This can also be regarded as the root of human laziness. After accepting instructions from others for a long time, without instructions from others, you actually don’t know what to do.
Chen Wenzhe is a person with vested interests, so he will naturally not remind Gao Qijing.
However, it is still possible to teach some fishing and fishing experience.
This is also a survival skill. If he didn't absolutely trust Gao Qijing, he would really not be willing to teach it.
