Traveling and wandering around all day is also very tiring.
Take a long nap and go out for a pizza...
The weather was good today. Chen Mo took a walk to the yacht pier, preparing to rent a fishing boat, and saw Ellie handing out flyers here.
"Ellie?" Chen Mo walked over with a smile and took a leaflet.
It's a flyer from a green farm, where watermelons, peaches and other fruits are on sale.
"Hello, boss." Ellie bowed.
With a sweet voice, Ellie always looks so energetic...
"Why don't you rest?"
"There are still about 300 leaflets left. We will take a break after distributing them."
Chen Mo smiled: "I'll help you with how much is left..."
"No need, I can handle it by myself."
"I'll help you."
"Then... okay, thank you boss." Ai Li handed a stack of flyers to Chen Mo and explained to him the techniques for distributing flyers.
Distributing leaflets when you see people is not about handing out leaflets when you see people.
Different leaflets are distributed to different people. For example, the green farm leaflets cannot be distributed to young people, at least to middle-aged people, preferably those with a leisurely pace...or people who are preparing to go to sea.
"Okay, I got it. You can send it somewhere else, I'll guard it at the yacht club."
There are not many people in the morning.
The two of them didn't finish handing out flyers until after ten o'clock. Ellie said thank you again and wanted to treat Chen Mo to a Coke.
"How much money do you make by distributing flyers? Keep it for yourself." Chen Mo patted her head: "I'll buy you a Coke."
"Haha...thank you, boss."
Seeing Ai Li's happy face, Chen Mo was also happy. He felt that he liked this girl more and more. He had the urge to accept her as his sister...
Chen Mo went to a fast food restaurant and bought two Cokes and a hamburger: "Hey, I'm going to go fishing. If you're okay, come go fishing with me."
Ellie smiled and nodded: "Okay."
The club provides rental yachts, sailboats, small yachts, fishing boats, etc., large and small, with prices ranging from more than a hundred dollars to more than a thousand dollars.
Chen Mo rented a luxury fishing boat, about 11 meters long, with a cabin kitchen.
This is a fishing boat that can travel out of the Bay Area. It must be returned before six o'clock in the afternoon. The rental fee is 700 US dollars. Including fuel costs, insurance and fish tickets, the total does not exceed 800. It is still very expensive... Ai next to it
Li's face twitched as she looked at it.
A fishing ticket is a fishing license.
"You spend eight hundred dollars to go fishing and you can buy a car full of fish." Ellie complained as she helped Chen Mo pack the anchor.
"It's all about having fun."
"Hi, Ellie." A bearded man from the club brought the free lunch provided by the rental boat. Seeing Ellie's confusion, "Why are you on the boat?"
"Uncle Stephen." Ellie shouted: "This is my boss, Mr. Chen Mo. Let's go fishing together."
"Oh?" The bearded man looked at Chen Mo carefully: "Mr. Chen Mo, your lunch."
"Thank you. Do you know Ellie?"
"Many of us here know Ellie." The bearded man said with a smile.
Chen Mo took the lunch box, smiled, and looked at Ellie: "Have all the strands of rope been put away?"
"Packed away, ready to go." Ellie reported.
"Then... get ready to send it out."
The bearded man got off the boat and told Ellie: "Pay attention to safety and put on a life jacket."
"Okay." Ellie waved goodbye to Stephen.
After leaving the pier, Chen Mo changed direction and drove towards the Golden Gate Bridge...
"Boss, are you ready to leave the harbor for deep-sea fishing?"
"Of course. The water in the San Francisco Bay Area is not clean. It is said on the Internet that most of the fish here are inedible. Go fishing in Drakes Bay after leaving the Golden Gate Bridge."
"It's so far away. If I had known I should be wearing a bikini." Ai Li looked at Chen Mo and smiled like an idiot.
It's about 30 nautical miles, and at the speed of a fishing boat, it takes about an hour.
The maximum speed of this fishing boat is 33 knots, which is considered very fast.
The sunshine is very good today, but when we go out to the bay, we can still feel the waves shaking the boat obviously.
The main reason is that this boat is so bad. If it were a luxury yacht of the same level, the experience should be much better.
Chen Mo brought his own sunglasses, and when he went out to the bay, he felt like he was letting himself go. The oil rod was fully loaded and the boat was moving at full speed.
Ellie was rummaging around in the cabin, found a pair of sunglasses from somewhere, and put on a red life jacket...
"You've never been out fishing before?" Ai Li, who put on a life jacket, sat next to Chen Mo and looked at him seriously.
"No, it's the first time."
Ellie pursed her lips: "You dare to run so far for the first time. You are so brave. Turn right and try to be within a thousand meters of the coastline."
"Why?"
"Reefs. This ship doesn't have radar. It would be bad if it hits the rocks." Ellie pointed to Bonny Point Lighthouse past the Golden Gate Bridge: "There are many reefs over there. You can't see them at high tide, but they are very difficult to see at low tide.
Be eye-catching. Be careful and pay attention to safety.”
"Okay Captain."
After passing the lighthouse, the sea gradually calmed down.
Chen Mo slowed down the speed of the boat, took out his fishing gear and threw bait into the sea...
Two sea fishing rods are tools that can catch big fish, specially equipped with heavy-duty tuna hooks...
"Can you sail a boat?"
"No, I can fish and help you look after the fishing rod."
"ok."
There was no movement for more than ten minutes, and Ai Li reminded Chen Mo from time to time to change the ship's channel.
In the past, Ellie and her parents often went fishing. If they wanted to catch big fish, they had to go through the fish passage...
Where is the fish passage? In addition to asking local fishermen for advice, just look where there are seagulls.
Where there are many seagulls, there must be fish below.
After another half an hour, the fishing boat continued to go deep into the sea, and it reached its destination in another ten minutes, but no hook was ever bitten.
The fishing boat was swaying, and Ellie was about to fall asleep while guarding the fishing rod. Suddenly she heard the sound of the fishing line sliding, and she woke up with a start and quickly grabbed the fishing rod...
Ellie's faint shout and the sound of something falling into the water.
This fishing boat was really not in a good condition. Ma Da’s voice was so loud that Chen Mo turned his head instinctively. There was only one fishing rod, and Ellie’s girl was gone. Chen Mo’s heart suddenly jumped...
"Ellie..."
The little girl fell into the sea. Fortunately, she was wearing a life jacket and was struggling in the sea, but her hands were still holding on to the fishing rod tightly.
Chen Mo quickly slowed down, turned around, turned off the engine at Ellie's position, and threw down the life preserver.
Ellie was also stubborn, holding on to the fishing rod tightly without letting go. Chen Mo pulled her to the side of the boat and handed the fishing rod over first: "One, one bluefin tuna... pull it up quickly." Ellie shouted excitedly.
He said, it's like he was on drugs.
"Do you see clearly?" Chen Mo didn't bother to care about blue fins or long fins. He stretched out his hand to pull Ellie up, and then began to retract the fishing line.
"Bluefin tuna, a big bluefin tuna." Ellie said excitedly and incoherently: "Come on."
Chen Mo was a little angry and reached out to knock her on the head: "Is this why you jumped into the sea?"
"I was pulled down." Ellie quickly put away the other fishing rod, her face full of excitement and nervousness.
Chen Mo took a deep breath and started fighting with the big fish.
This fish is huge...
Chen Mo reeled in and released the line. The fish jumped out of the water once. It was definitely a tuna, but he didn't know whether it was a bluefin tuna.
There are a lot of albacore tuna here, bluefin tuna... they are only available in summer and autumn, so you are lucky to catch them.
Chen Mo pulled the fishing rod in and out: "It takes too much effort to catch this fish."
"Come on, this bluefin tuna is probably over 200 pounds and very valuable." Ellie was more nervous and excited than Chen Mo next to her.
"Don't you feel uncomfortable when your clothes are wet?" Chen Mo took off his coat: "Go back to the cabin and take a shower. There is a dryer for your underwear. Bring your clothes up to dry... I don't know how long it will take to catch this fish.
.”
Ai Li's face turned red, she took Chen Mo's clothes and ran into the cabin with an 'oh' sound.
Chen Mo smiled and began to concentrate on fighting the tuna.
Tuna is not a gentle fish, and once it struggles, its strength is not something you can say lightly.
What's even more unfortunate is that Chen Mo was not prepared to encounter a large bluefin tuna when he came out. He was planning to catch albacore tuna. The fishing rod was good and the hook was also very good, but the fishing line could not withstand the struggle of such a big guy...
The fishing line is relatively light and may break at any time while walking the fish.
Keep retracting and releasing without daring to use brute force.
Chen Mo has never had any experience in fishing for big fish in the sea. He has only caught big fish in reservoirs in his hometown before. The largest one weighs more than 20 kilograms, which is already a very big guy. This time, the fish caught may weigh 200 kilograms. As time goes by,
