The official competition time is December 16th, but Paul thinks he should test the actual effect of Hong Tao's artificial bait in sea fishing in advance. Hong Tao and Irene are going to Australia for a trip, so he just goes with them a few days earlier. As for
Those in his fishing team have to wait for arrangements from sponsors before they can go to Australia, because not only are they and their fishing gear going to Australia, but their fishing boats also have to be transported there.
Paul's sea fishing team is called "Hatteres". According to Paul, this name is still very famous in the sea fishing community. However, this fame is not earned by Paul and his team through competition results. The name is originally
It is the name of an internationally renowned top yacht manufacturer, and it is also the main sponsor of Paul’s fishing team.
In fact, Paul's team is not the main team of Hartles. It should be said to be the second team of Hartles or the Guanxi team. Guanxi is not only a thing in China, but also in the United States, but it is not as developed as in China.
Pure, so in-depth. Paul's fishing team is full of big names in the legal circles in the eastern United States.
, it is said that there is also a congressman. These people are all owners who like sea fishing. They originally drove their own yachts to have fun in the Gulf of Mexico. However, after they got together, they became a little dissatisfied with hanging out in amateur circles.
, I always feel that my fishing skills are already outstanding, and I want to join the professional fishermen.
As a result, these two sticks hit it off and found this sponsor through connections. I don't know what means they used to convince them. As a result, the Hatteras Company paid for them to form such a professional fishing team.
To say that Paul and the others are not very lively, since the fishing team was formed, they have participated in several competitions every year, some in the United States, some in Hawaii or Canada, and it is said that the furthest one went to France.
It's a pity that the enthusiasm is very high, but the fishing skills are very poor. The luck is not good enough. After a few years, let alone the trophies, we are often ranked at the bottom. Originally, the Hatteras Company had a professional fishing team, and the history
It has a long history. It has been established longer than Hong Tao, and its results are very good. It is considered a world-renowned sea fishing team. But when Paul and the others came, they took the name of Hartley and spent the money of Hartley.
As a result, the performance got worse year by year. It almost brought the company's face to shame.
Hartresses has given up his words this year. This is the last time he will sponsor Paul and the others to participate in the competition. If there is no improvement in the results, he will not cooperate with them next year. Paul is also urgently ill and seeking medical treatment. Seeing Hong Tao in flw
Pass the game and win the game,
So I wanted to bring Hong Tao in to show off. No matter how good the fishing results are, at least there is a champion of the American FLW competition in the team, so the other party must give him some face. Just in case Hong Tao can do something magical again. Their fishing team
Maybe it can survive for a few more years.
Since Paul is planning to save his fishing team, Hong Tao thinks it is most appropriate for Casey to enjoy a free trip to Australia. This is not a gift from anyone, nor is it taking advantage of anyone. This is a deal.
, Hong Tao is now slowly learning to think about problems in an American way of thinking, and just do as the Romans do!
Since it is a transaction, you cannot just ask the other party to pay. According to the spirit of the contract, you must also try your best to fulfill your responsibility. Hong Tao's responsibility is to modify the artificial bait correctly so that he can catch more fish. In fact, to put it bluntly, he just adds more to the artificial bait.
He cheated by pretending to be fish scale water. But now Hong Tao has a problem that needs to be solved. That is, he has run out of fish scale water. He only brought a small bottle of concentrated water from China, and it was all consumed when he participated in flw.
If Rachel is asked to express express from his home to New York, it will be a bit too late. The fastest trip from Beijing to New York is 5 working days, which is too late. In fact, time is still secondary. You can send it directly to New York instead of sending it to New York.
You can also go to a hotel in Australia, so that you can make enough time. The most critical problem is that this kind of liquid is not allowed on airlines, so it is probably hopeless to mail it from Beijing.
However, Hong Tao has one last resort. He doesn't need to run back to Beijing to get it himself. His precious fish scales can be hung around his neck. In this situation, on-site production is the most reliable.
Hong Tao went out to find a bottle of mineral water, soaked the fish scales in it, and put it in his toiletry bag. Then he went on to buy the fine-textured artificial sea surface that he had left last time.
There was a lot of it, but Hong Tao didn't expect it to be useful in the future, so he threw it away casually.
From the next day, Hong Tao squatted at home and cut the sea surface into cubes the size of tennis balls. He put them into a jar filled with fish scale water and soaked them. At night, he took them all out and put them outside the window to dry in the shade.
In order to avoid being blown away by the wind, Hong Tao specially bought a box of thumbtacks and stuck each sponge piece on the wooden board.
Sister Eileen has no interest at all in Hong Tao's unknown troubles. They now search the Internet every night for information about Australia, and then compare online strategies and pictures to find out their own shortcomings. When they wake up in the morning, the sisters
The two of them walked out of the house hand in hand, full of joy
They wandered around for a while until they made up for their shortcomings. I bought a big bag of swimsuits of various styles and colors, and even put labels on them myself, saying which beach is for sunbathing or swimming and surfing?
, only for the night, etc., enjoying it, I really don’t have time to talk to Hong Tao.
The use of these small sponge balls is very simple. According to Hong Tao’s idea, since it works if the sponge is stuffed into the artificial bait, there must be no problem hanging the sponge outside the artificial bait. Due to the water areas faced in sea fishing
The area is larger, broader and deeper, so Hong Tao feels that if the sponge is stuffed into the artificial bait, the fish luring effect will definitely be less obvious. By increasing the volume of the sponge, he can spread as many fish luring elements as possible and improve the lure.
fish effect.
As for whether these sponge balls hanging on the bait will cause visual confusion to the fish, Hong Tao is not worried about this problem. Fish in the sea are not as timid and suspicious as freshwater fish. This is mainly because the living environment in the sea is harsher.
There is no room for hesitation on your part. When you encounter something that looks like food, you must immediately rush over and bite it. You can decide whether it is edible or not before you bite it.
The valid fish for this competition are marlin over 300 pounds and tuna over 150 pounds. Other marine fish will not be counted in the competition results.
The marlin (makaira mitsutsuri) is what we often call swordfish. It has a spear-like snout more than one meter long in its mouth. It is also the fish caught by Santiago, the old fisherman in Hemingway's novel "The Old Man and the Sea".
That big fish is as long as a fishing boat. Marlins are mainly divided into two categories, one is
The species is the black marlin, which is the largest among the marlins. The female is much larger than the male, reaching a length of more than 4 meters and weighing nearly a ton. It mainly lives in the tropical deep sea areas of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.
, will migrate widely according to the sea water temperature and season, and mainly feed on tuna and large squid.
There is also a kind of white marlin, which is slightly smaller in size and mainly lives on the Atlantic coast and Caribbean areas. It does not follow the seasons for large-scale migration.
Tuna is what we call tuna, also called tuna. This fish looks like a cannonball. Its streamlined body and forked tail fin make it the world's champion of long-distance and high-speed swimming.
You can swim 200 kilometers a day, and you can swim day after day without stopping until you die.
The main reason why the marlin swims so crazily is that it cannot use its gills to breathe on its own. It must allow water to pass through its gills while swimming at high speed to avoid being suffocated to death. It cannot stop even when sleeping. It is estimated that this
This is also the reason why tuna meat is considered by most people in the world to be the most delicious and nutritious fish.
The main food of tuna is sardines, and sardines are oceanic migratory fish, so tuna also runs with the food. There are many kinds of tuna on the earth, which are generally divided into bluefin tuna (northern bluefin tuna, southern bluefin tuna
),bigeye tuna,masujin
Marlin, yellowfin tuna, and bonito are the major species. Among them, bluefin tuna and masu tuna are the least abundant and the most precious. Bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna, and bonito are relatively abundant. The canned tuna we usually eat
, sashimi is mostly made from these two types of tuna.
In terms of body size, the gap between different types of tuna is very large. The largest bluefin tuna can grow to weigh 700 kilograms, while the average weight of bonito is only a few kilograms.
Hong Tao has no idea whether he can accurately catch the target fish specified in the competition. Now he doesn't even know whether the fish scale water works in seawater, let alone what he wants to catch.
.However, Hong Tao feels that if this fish scale water also works in seawater, then as long as there are marlins in the sea area where the bait is placed, it will definitely be a marlin that takes the bait.
Because this thing is the king of the sea, they come in groups of more than a dozen. When sharks see them, they have to run away, otherwise they will be pierced by the one-meter-long spear in front of their heads. So as long as you find the horse
With the traces of forest fish, Hong Tao feels that the directionality of the bait is still acceptable.
Partially controlled. As for the tuna surge, there is nothing you can do. If there are no marlins in the water where you hook the hook, you will not be able to control whether to lure the tuna or other fish such as sharks and sea wolves.
So it’s still the same old saying: do your best and obey fate.
On November 30, Hong Tao took Sister Irene, Paul and his unlucky nephew on a flight from New York to Sydney. It may be said that Paul hates Carl, but if he takes him with him everywhere, it is said that he does not hate him.
Carl, the two of them have never said anything good about each other. They both want the other to die in a car accident immediately. It can only be said that they are a pair of freaks. (To be continued...)
