The fishing boat left the island and headed towards the vast sea.
When the fishing boat is full of fuel, it can only reach a speed of 278 knots.
Chen Feng and Zhou He, the fathers of Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng, both went to sea for the first time.
After the fishing boat is far away from the land, the vast sea is the same color as the sea and sky.
Although Chen Feng and the others were not seasick, they looked at Shen Lan and felt empty in their hearts. This feeling was like standing on the edge of a cliff...
Entering the ocean, with no land in sight, and facing the deep blue boundless ocean, most people will be instinctively afraid and insecure.
Land is no longer visible.
Chen Yuan stopped the fishing boat and did not turn on the stabilizer.
The fishing boat rocked slightly.
"Dad, when walking on the sea, spread your legs a little further and lower your body's center of gravity." Chen Yuan explained to his father the posture of walking on the sea.
Lin Xinhai smiled beside him, took out a cigarette and handed one to everyone.
"Walking on the sea is very simple. Just follow the rhythm of the ship's rocking and spread your legs a little." Zhou Sheng said and took out the fishing rod.
Two 7.9-meter-high poles, which is eight meters tall.
This is a kind of fishing rod specially used for trolling in wide sea areas. It is usually used as a top rod and stands tall. Zhou Sheng called this kind of rod a high rod.
The high pole is a combination pole.
Chen Yuan and the others found it after searching online for a long time. This kind of pole is very hard. The 7.9-meter pole is divided into 4 sections, each section is about 2 meters, and is assembled together by threads. There is a guide ring on the pole, and the guide ring is not big. The wire wheel
It is an electric wheel with 500 meters of fishing line.
Zhou Sheng assembled a fishing rod, and Chen Xin picked it up: "It's so heavy. Is this fishing rod solid?"
"Part of it is solid." Chen Yuan is installing the fixed bracket for trolling.
In the corridors on both sides of the cabin, a fixed bracket is installed on one side. It is in the shape of an outward figure. After bundling the bait, the fishing rod is fixed.
From a distance, you can see two long antennas with splayed faces.
This kind of fishing rod can be regarded as a production fishing rod, which is specially produced for trolling operations. Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng have operated this kind of fishing rod before, but only a few times.
This kind of fishing rod can also be equipped with an auxiliary guide ring, that is, one fishing rod can drag two or even three strands of fishing line.
It's just that such an operation is very troublesome.
The two fishing rods were set up and hung with light lures.
Yang Xun and the others also assembled two heavy-duty rocky fishing rods. Heavy-duty rocky fishing rods literally mean big, thick and big, and are much heavier than commonly used rocky fishing rods. This should be regarded as a general-purpose rod that can be used on boats.
Catching a giant fish.
The length of 6.3 meters, from the pole body to the pole tip, is extremely hard.
These two poles are fixed on both sides of the rear deck and are also splayed. They use 370g keel iron plates with squid whiskers.
The last three poles are 2.3-meter heavy-duty boat poles. These poles can lift hundreds of kilograms of giant tuna without much problem. The main line is No. 15, 16 braided strong horse, and the sub-line is No. 30 steel cored...
The bait hung is a flying fish. This bait weighs 1150 grams and is in the shape of a flying fish with two small wings.
When this kind of artificial bait is in the water, as the speed increases, the flying fish will jump up and down in the water. One on the left and one on the right is inserted diagonally on both sides of the stern of the boat, and a pole is set up in the middle.
"I'll sail the boat." Lin Xinhai said.
"Okay." Chen Yuan responded.
The fishing boat starts up.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng went to the corridors on both sides of the cabin. There were two fishing rods splayed out, and they were about 5.5 meters above the sea.
He Fei came to Chen Yuan: "How many meters should the line be placed?"
"250 meters to 300 meters." Chen Yuan said.
There is an electric wheel, so it is easier to pay out and retrieve the line. I fished 7 poles today and the line I put out was relatively long.
"Chen Yuan, how much rice do you put in?"
"300 meters."
"Okay, it's about 270 meters away from me." Zhou Sheng responded.
Two high-pole fishing lines were put out, followed by two rocky fishing rods. One was put out at 260 meters and the other at 230 meters.
"The three poles at the stern are too crowded." Zhou Sheng inserted the poles, gestured, and said.
Lin Xinhai turned his head: "Remove the pole in the middle, otherwise the turning radius of the fishing boat will be too large."
"good."
Then troll 6 fishing rods, and the fishing lines are all long on the left and short on the left.
The length of the fishing lines of two short poles is 210 meters and 180 meters.
It took more than ten minutes to put out the fishing line. Just after putting out the line, the high pole on the left was bent.
"We caught a fish." Chen Xin shouted.
"Master, slow down." Zhou Sheng said.
"Received." Lin Xinhai.
The speed of the boat slowed down. Chen Yuan went over and pressed the 'return line' button. The bend of the fishing rod was not particularly large.
The line was 300 meters long. During the process of reeling in the line, the rocky fishing rod on the right also caught a fish, and the fishing rod was pulled with a big bow.
Zhou Sheng hurried over and pressed the return line: "We caught a big fish. He Fei, Yang Xun, help pull back the pole here." Zhou Sheng said.
"Okay." He Fei quickly closed the fishing line on the short pole.
"good."
Trolling requires cooperation.
Especially when it comes to big fish.
With six fishing rods, there are six fishing lines in the sea. If one is not good, the line will easily get twisted. If it is a big fish, it will easily run away if the line gets twisted.
Zhou Sheng switched the electric wheel to hands-on mode and put in some more wires.
Zhou Sheng estimated that the fish should weigh about a hundred kilograms. To Zhou Sheng, the fish was not particularly strong. He controlled the rod, waited for the fishing line to be retracted, and then went to the bow of the boat.
The fishing boat has stopped now.
Zhou Sheng pulled the fishing rod hard.
Over at Chen Yuan, the fish has been recovered, a five to six kilogram mackerel.
The freezer of the fishing boat has been removed, so it is still somewhat inconvenient to go fishing.
I still brought the ice cubes with me when I came out today and put the mackerel in the fish box to keep it fresh while Zhou Sheng was still pulling at it.
"How big is it down there?" Zhou Sheng's father asked.
"A hundred pounds. It's probably a dog-tooth golden gun." Zhou Sheng said.
In terms of feel, it should be tuna. It is fifty kilometers away from Hailing Island, but we have not yet reached the open sea. The probability of catching yellowfin tuna and big eye tuna is relatively small.
As for bluefin tuna, the probability is even smaller.
In just about ten minutes, the fish arrived at the side of the boat. After another pull, the fish came out of the water.
Zhou Sheng's judgment was very accurate, like a dog's tooth.
Chen Yuan picked up the hook, hooked it on the back of the tuna, and pulled it up hard.
"How much does such a big tuna cost?" Zhou's father asked.
"A little over a hundred pounds, six or seven thousand." Zhou Sheng said with a smile.
"So expensive." Chen Yuan's father also looked at the fish curiously.
Chen Yuan took out a knife and bled both sides of the fish's gills, then made a cut on the fish.
Yang Xun brought a bucket and rinsed the fish. He Fei and Chen Yuan arranged the fishing rod together and prepared to put out the line again.
Yang Xun and the others were not charged shipping fees for this trip, and the catch was shared equally among everyone.
There are six people on Chen Yuan's side, and only two on Yang Xun's side. Trolling is very luck-based, and you have to harvest high-value fish to make money.
If there are no high-value fish, each person can get a few hundred yuan, which is very good.
And the most important thing to do this time is to familiarize dad and the others with the bumps on the ship and see if they get seasick.
The sea will open soon.
Now these are just appetizers.
If Yang Xun and the others were not brought with them and six fishing rods, it would be Chen Yuan, Zhou Sheng and Chen Xin. Chen Xin was still a half-experienced fisherman and was not familiar with trolling, so he would have been very busy on the boat.
The fishing boat started again.
Zhou Sheng and Yang Xun were busy bleeding the dogtooth tuna for more than ten minutes, cutting ice blocks and putting them in long boxes to keep them fresh.
"We caught another fish," Chen Xin said.
There was movement on the high pole.
When He Fei saw it, he hurried over to retrieve the line. The bait used on the high pole was relatively small, basically like mackerel and sea wolf.
This rod caught a sea wolf.
The fishing boat ran farther and farther, and Chen Yuan's father felt dizzy and nauseous.
Chen Yuan took his father to the bedroom: "Just fight it and get through it."
"Have you ever been seasick before going to sea?" Dad asked.
"I don't get seasick." Chen Yuan added, "Xinxin doesn't get seasick either."
Zhou Sheng's father also walked in and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable too. Do you have any seasickness medicine?"
"If you can avoid taking seasickness medicine, don't take it. Just get used to it. It's normal seasickness for you. Many people will get dizzy when they go out to sea for the first time and run far away. We've been around a lot these days, and you'll be fine once you get used to it.
It’s a big boat, Master’s tuna purse seine boat has stabilizers, so it won’t rock too much,” Chen Yuan said.
"Okay, resist."
Chen Yuan's father and the others are not particularly bad at seasickness, so they are just fine.
If the condition is particularly serious, like Zhou Lan's, you won't be able to work on a fishing boat.
