Last night, Yang Xun and the others were terribly frightened, and they are still frightened now.
The sky has dawned, the rain has stopped, and the wind has subsided. My nervous heart has also relaxed.
Yang Xun looked at Chen Yuan and the others, secretly admiring them. The situation last night was really scary, but the two of them could still go back to the cabin and continue sleeping.
He Fei cooked breakfast.
There were still some bumps, so He Fei threw some bacon and sausage into the rice cooker.
After the rice is cooked, simmer for a while, then slice the bacon and sausage.
Returning to the cabin with the rice bowl, Chen Yuan turned on the radio microphone: "Uncle Fourth, are you here?"
"Yes." Luo Laosi replied.
"How is the situation over there?"
"It is estimated that the sea conditions are level 3." Luo Laosi said.
"Are you setting the hook yet?"
"After six o'clock, Lin Xinhai set the fishhook in the organization. As you said, big fish come out of strong winds and waves." Luo Laosi chuckled and said: "Is your situation okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Chen Yuan shouted again: "Old Gao, Old Zhao, have you guys come over?"
"Not yet. We'll be almost there when you finish setting the fishhook." Zhao Bo's voice said.
"My boat is estimated to arrive at the designated sea area in two hours. Fourth child, how long will it take for you to finish setting the fishhook?" Gao He asked.
"I started setting the hook after six o'clock, and it was eleven o'clock when I finished setting the hook."
Gao He said "hmm": "There were big waves last night, are there any fish today?"
"There are fish. But the hooks need to be set deeper. The first string is deep, and the second string is nine shallow and one deep."
A burst of laughter came from the radio equipment.
After dinner, He Fei and the others went back to the cabin to rest.
Chen Yuan took out the drone and flew it around. There were still fish in this sea area. Small fish in the shallows and big fish were all in the deep water.
Waiting for Chen Yuan to retrieve the drone, Zhou Sheng launched the fishing boat and continued the investigation along the previously planned route.
Pass through the southernmost part of the mountain range and circle around to the outer sea area.
In this large area of sea, the situation is similar.
I don’t know what caused the huge waves yesterday, and the density of fish in the open sea was even smaller. Most of them were concentrated on the west side of the mountains...
It's almost noon, and we're still about an hour away from the Big Fish.
Chen Yuan asked Zhou Sheng to stop the ship and take back the drone.
Returning to the cab, Chen Yuandao said: "Is the fishing boat catching fish?"
"Not yet. I just finished setting the hook." Luo Laosi's voice came over the radio: "I'll go over right away and start staring at the fish."
"The cabin exploded." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"That's necessary."
Zhou Sheng started the fishing boat: "Go to the big fish?"
"He Fei's fish have to be put on the fishing boat."
Zhou Sheng said ‘hmm’.
Anyway, it's just a matter of convenience...
Found the big fish number, the big fish number is catching fish.
This time, all the fish were put on big tuna hooks, not strings of fish.
The speed of lifting the hook is not very fast. When I see the boat, I wait for it to run over and it takes a while.
Chen Yuan went to the bow of the boat and looked at the fish tank on the side of the boat. It took more than ten minutes for a fish to rise. However, the tuna was big enough and still alive. He stopped the boat and used a crane to lift the big fish. I guess, at least
More than three hundred kilograms.
"Fourth uncle, fourth uncle." Chen Yuan shouted while holding a walkie-talkie.
"receive."
“How was the catch?”
Luo Laosi smiled and said, "It's not bad. We've already caught six tuna and two swordfish."
"Our boat is on the right side. There are two tuna caught by He Fei and the others on the boat. Please help me mark them." Chen Yuan said.
"Okay, come closer."
Zhou Sheng also had a walkie-talkie in his hand, so he made a roundabout way and approached the fishing boat.
Luo Laosi lost the slide rope and came down.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng took out the fish and tied them up, and Luo Laosi hoisted the fish up himself. There were two fish, one big and one small.
After getting all the two fish in, Chen Yuan and the others left the fishing boat and started making lunch.
It was noon and the sea calmed down.
Zhou Sheng cooks, Chen Yuan cooks...
From their position, they could see the fish tank on the side of the ship, that is, they could see the left side of the ship.
Not many fish were caught, it took several minutes, ten minutes, or even longer to catch a fish.
Although the quantity is not large, the quality is very high, and the fish that come up are basically big fish.
Set the hook quickly.
It took more than five hours to set the tuna hook.
The speed of catching fish is not as fast as the speed of setting the hook. At the current speed, it is estimated that it will take eight or nine hours to complete the hook of a rope. Or even longer.
If there are few fish, the time will be shorter. If there are more fish and there are more big fish, the time will be longer.
A rope is put on the Big Fish, so it takes a long time to catch the fish.
Chen Yuan and the others had nothing to do during this period. Even if they went out to detect fish schools, they would not have time to go over and set the hook.
Now is a rare leisure time.
After lunch, Chen Yuan went back to the cabin to take a shower, change his clothes, and then started fishing further away from the Big Fish. He lay down on the sofa in the living room and took a nap.
Zhou Sheng took out two cans of beer, opened them and handed them to Chen Yuan.
"You can drink beer after dinner." Chen Yuan took the beer and took a sip.
"I thought you were going out to look for fish in the afternoon." Zhou Sheng shrugged, "How long will you rest?"
"We'll see tomorrow." Chen Yuan said: "I put four strings of fish hooks out this time, and it will probably take tomorrow night to collect all the hooks. We will see if we catch a lot of fish tomorrow. If we catch a lot of fish, we will rest for two more days.
"
The current sea conditions were good. Chen Yuan drank a can of beer, went to the sofa and fell asleep quickly.
When I woke up, I didn’t know what time it was in the afternoon.
Without control, Dabai drifted far away. Now looking at the Big Fish, the Big Fish looked like a small boat.
Chen Yuan stretched, and Zhou Sheng lay on the sofa opposite, still sleeping.
The sun outside is dazzling and the sea breeze is blowing, so I don't feel hot at all.
Chen Yuan went back to the cab, checked the time, and after four o'clock in the afternoon, he picked up the intercom: "Uncle Fourth, I got the reply."
"Why are you calling your fourth uncle again?" Gao He's voice came out.
Followed by Luo Laosi: "What are you doing?"
"Ask about the fish catch. Lao Gao, how much did you put in the second rope?"
"The fish catch is not bad." Luo Laosi said: "I have collected more than half of the first rope, and now I have caught more than thirty tuna, five or six swordfish, and some other fish. After harvesting them all, the tuna
There should be forty or fifty."
"I have put half of the second rope here." Gao congratulated: "Have you contacted Luo Laosi?"
"Contacted."
"I can't receive the signal from Luo Laosi here. How is the fish you are catching over there?"
Chen Yuan and the others were between Luo Laosi and Gao He, and could just receive signals from both sides. But the distance between Luo Laosi and Gao He was too far.
"When the first rope is finished, there should be forty or fifty tuna."
"Is it big?"
"It should be pretty good."
"Who are you talking to?" Luo Laosi asked.
"Lao Gao, he asked us how the fish was, whether it was big or not."
"There are all big tuna. Those over 100 kilograms account for 70-80%. There are probably more than a dozen tuna over 200 kilograms, which is pretty good."
Chen Yuan said to Gao He: "Lao Gao, we have a good catch of fish here, there are more big tuna. And there are more than a dozen tuna over 200 kilograms."
"Okay. We've finished laying out this rope. We'll have to rest for a while before lifting the hook."
"Are you all setting big fishhooks?"
"There are some small fish hooks." Gao He said: "We don't have much bait in the cabin, so we can catch some for bait."
Chen Yuan smiled and said: "With the help of the auxiliary boat, will the speed of setting the fishhook be much faster?"
Gao He said "Yeah": "The speed of releasing the hook should be one-third faster."
