Having a full stomach and drinking hot tea on the calm sea with the sea breeze should be considered a kind of enjoyment. Taking this opportunity, the two Maruyama brothers taught Hong Tao the basic knowledge of trolling.
Sailfish, also called marlin, often change their activity range following the activity range of other schools of fish. Because those small fish are their food, they suddenly rise when the seabed suddenly rises, and at the junction of clear and mixed seawater, the sea surface
Any area with floating objects may have
A large number of small fish schools gather, so the captain of the trolling boat must look for these fish schools based on these characteristics and with the help of fish finders and telescopes. As long as they find these fish schools and follow them, the flag
The fish will appear soon.
But this is easier said than done. For native Okinawans like the Maruyama brothers, who have been fishing and operating fishing boats for several generations, they still dare not say that they can find swordfish every time they go out. The sea is too vast.
Compared with its vast waters, the fish in the sea are too rare. No matter how experienced you are, fishing in the sea is still a sport that depends half on luck and half on skill, of which luck is more important.
Originally, Hong Tao thought he would continue trolling after lunch, but Captain Maruyama said that the current climate is not suitable for trolling. It is too calm and the fish have moved into deep water areas, making it even harder to find them, so this afternoon was changed to free fishing.
It's active. He said it's right below where the boat is parked.
It is a trench, about 80 meters deep, and there should be a lot of bottom fish. Those who are willing to play can play with the iron plate. Those who are willing to rest can take a rest in the cabin. After dinner, we will set off and arrive before dawn tomorrow.
Another fishing spot to see if you can catch swordfish there.
Yae and Ueno are both older and are not very interested in smoking iron plates. The two brothers Murichi and Maruyama are chatting. I don’t know what they are talking about. Anyway, they are listening to the excitement and have no time to fish. Only Hong Tao and
Zhou Xiaoli and Hong Tao are not easy to leave behind either.
Zhou Xiaoli went to pull out the iron plate by herself, so she found two softer boat fishing rods, and tied the lead weight and string hooks like last time. She and Zhou Xiaoli ran to the bow of the boat, opened the parasol, took off their shoes and sat down
On the edge of the railing, chatting and fishing at the same time.
"Oh, if only I could afford a big yacht, I could drive it around the world. If I want to fish, I can fish. If I don't want to fish, I can find a port to stop and rest for two days." Hong Tao
Put the fishing rod on the railing of the boat, lie down on the deck, enjoy the physiotherapy-like feeling brought to the skin by the sun-scorched deck, and start to daydream again.
"Dream on a big yacht. Can you afford to pay for berthing in the port and fuel? Besides, do you know how to sail? Even if you do, your passport won't be able to go to most places. The local police will treat you as a smuggler."
Catch him." Zhou Xiaoli quickly woke up Hong Tao from his daydream with a series of questions.
"I think you are too cruel. You can't let me have fun for a while. People always have dreams." Hong Tao slapped Zhou Xiaoli hard on the butt.
"Oops!!! There is a fish in your fishing rod, get up, get up." Zhou Xiaoli was harassed and was about to get up to fight back. Suddenly she saw Hong Tao's fishing rod nodding up and down, and hurried to pull Hong Tao
hand.
"Hey, it bites the hook tightly when I don't want to fish, but it doesn't bite the hook when I want to fish." Hong Tao sat up lazily, picked up the fishing rod, and shook the reel helplessly.
"What kind of fish is this? It ran away. It has no weight at all." After shaking it for a few times, Hong Tao felt something was wrong. He couldn't feel any power from the fishing rod, and the fishing line was getting lighter and lighter, as if
There is something below that helps him feed the thread upwards.
"Holy shit, what is this! Ayurva?" Finally, the fishing line was about to reach its end, and a large, round thorny ball floated to the sea along with the fishhook. Although Hong Tao has never done deep-sea trolling, but in the animal world
I've seen quite a few.
"Oh, is this a fish? It's really interesting. Get it quickly!" When Zhou Xiaoli saw this cute agouti, her motherly glory couldn't help but shine. She stretched out her hand to grab the fishing line and try to lift it up.
"Don't move. This thing seems to be poisonous. Don't let it get stuck. I'll do it." Hong Tao quickly stopped Zhou Xiaoli's welding and sawing light bulbs, although he was not sure about this kind of sting.
Dolphins are really poisonous, but their relatives, puffer fish, are extremely poisonous. Who can guarantee whether their family members have a poisonous gene?
"I'll ask the captain to come and take a look." When Zhou Xiaoli heard that it was poisonous, she quickly retracted her hand, stood up, and shouted to Murichi and Maruyama brothers who were still chatting.
"Captain Maruyama praised you, saying that you caught the most delicious fish. He will make you a soup of agouti skin to eat at night, which is very nourishing." Zhou Xiaoli said while, with the help of Maruyama, she stretched out her hand to pinch a piece of the agouti fish.
Thorn, lifted up the one-foot-long ball, and then looked at its funny appearance and giggled. Only then did Hong Tao realize that Zhou Xiaoli actually had this two-hundred-and-fifty attribute.
The pufferfish is a close relative of the pufferfish. It mainly grows in shallow tropical seas and feeds on crustaceans and shellfish. This fish is not good at swimming, so it has evolved a way of defense against other fish, that is, it has hard spines. These
Hard thorns grow from its lips to its tail, covering its body. When it senses danger,
When this happens, it will immediately inhale a large amount of air and seawater from its gills and mouth, inflating an air sac in its intestines. As its body swells, the hard thorns on its body will stand upright, and any animal that wants to bite them will bite them.
It has no way to eat it, and when it is safe, it will expel air and seawater from its mouth and return to its original state.
There are several types of agouti, among which only the brown-bellied agouti is basically non-venomous and most suitable for human consumption, and what Hong Tao caught happened to be a brown-bellied agouti. With these Japanese people here, even if it is a poisonous agouti, they
It can also be made poison-free, because in Japan, the skin of the agouti fish is a kind of dietary supplement. Japanese men are very willing to drink a bowl of agouti fish skin soup. It is said that it is a good tonic for the kidneys.
"I also want to catch agouti!" The fish was taken away by Maruyama. Zhou Xiaoli still felt that it was not enough, so she pulled Hong Tao and started fishing again.
"Oops, my fishing line can't be pulled. Is it hanging on the rocks on the seabed?" After Zhou Xiaoli sat down, she planned to lift the pole and change the shrimp on the hook. However, after doing it for a long time, the fishing line kept shaking.
Unable to move, she had no choice but to ask Hong Tao for help.
"You use my rod, I'll give it a try." Hong Tao and Zhou Xiaoli changed positions and gave her his fishing rod to play with. Then he took off her fishing rod, shook the fishing line with his hand, and then lifted it up.
"It's really hooked. Pull it off and re-tie the hook." After lifting it several times, the fishing line still didn't move. Hong Tao got annoyed and planned to pull the fishing line off.
"Hey...it doesn't seem to be hanging on the bottom...why does this thing move with me when I exert force!" But when Hong Tao put on his gloves, grabbed the fishing line and pushed upward, trying to tear the fishing line off, he suddenly discovered that
As his strength increased, there were signs of loosening underneath the fishing line.
According to his experience in fishing in the reservoir, it is likely that some branches, aquatic plants or small debris are hanging on the bottom of the water. If you pull slowly and leisurely, you will probably be able to pull up the things below without losing the fishing gear.
So Hong Tao continued to wrap his gloved hands around the fishing line, and pulled it up bit by bit with all his strength. The thing under the water was also pulled up bit by bit along with Hong Tao's fishing line.
"Holy shit, what is this? Go call Captain Maruyama, why is there a rope here?" After ten minutes of tossing, Hong Tao finally pulled up all the dozens of meters of fishing line, and the fishhook came out of the water along with it.
It was not a weed or a branch, but a rope as thick as a thumb. The fishhook was hung on the rope, and one end of the rope was still deep in the seabed. Hong Tao pulled hard, but it didn't move.
"@##￥%##@!" Captain Maruyama was called over by Zhou Xiaoli for the second time. When he saw the rope in Hong Tao's hand, he tried to pull it again. He patted Hong Tao's shoulder very happily and gave him a cock.
Thumbs up.
"What's going on? What's down there?" Hong Tao could only ask Zhou Xiaoli.
"The captain said you are really lucky and asked you to wait for the seafood dinner in the evening." Zhou Xiaoli didn't know what was underneath.
