966 951. Sizzling Squid (2/5)
Chapter 966 951. Sizzling Squid (25)
When Wang Bo was in New Zealand, he watched an American documentary program called "Cunning Bluefin Tuna Fight", which introduced the American fishing for bluefin tuna.
Fishing for blue-spotted mackerel is similar to this one. Bluefin tuna can grow very long. The big ones are four to five meters long. Compared with blue-spotted mackerel, the blue-spotted mackerel is much inferior, but the big ones can grow to two meters long.
This kind of big fish is a very marketable and very precious economic fish species during the Chinese New Year. A fish is worth four to five thousand, and it is specially supplied to those rich families or big hotels.
Dad Bo dragged the sampan boat out of the warehouse that had not been used for a long time, and Wang Bo asked worriedly: "This thing must be out of use for some time, right? Can it be launched?"
With a laugh, Father Bo threw away the cigarette butt: "Of course, this boat has been used since you were born, and there is no problem at all! You, you will definitely not be able to be a fisherman in the future, you have no common sense!"
This sampan boat is not small in size. It is a large sampan that can go far out to sea. It is square and stable and can accommodate eight to ten people. There is a small wooden house behind it, which can shelter from wind and rain and cook.
Bo mother reassured Eva: "Don't be afraid, baby, our old couple just painted this boat in summer, it is well protected, and it will definitely be usable."
Eva smiled sweetly: "I'm not afraid, my swimming skills are not bad."
The warehouses in the fishing village are all by the sea, and some miscellaneous tools such as fishing nets, oars, and paint are placed inside. Of course, the most important thing is to store fishing boats. When you drag them out, you will be in the sea, and you don’t need to toss them back and forth.
There are some people wearing jackets and sunglasses staying on the small pier. These are fishing enthusiasts in the county or city, renting the stern of a boat to go out to sea.
The big sampan is powered by outboard motors and does not need to be rowed by a boatman, so one or two people are not needed to work on the boat, and the vacant places are usually rented out to generate income.
There are six people on the fishing boat of Wang Bo's family, plus the strong men and fat cats, there are not many places left, so Dad Bo decided to rent out two boat spaces.
Bo's mother gave him a supercilious look: "Whatever you want to rent, just go out as a family, and it's convenient to say anything, so that's it, I won't rent out."
Zhong Dabao laughed and said, "I'm not an outsider."
"Well, it's not an outsider." Father Bo handed him a cigarette, and the two smoked together.
In winter, the sea water quality is even worse. The waves beat against the rocks, and a lot of frothy things are photographed ashore, with a fishy smell that makes people frown.
Wang Bo asked, "Dad, have those chemical plants not stopped production and relocated yet? I remember watching the news that the government said they would be relocated."
Father Bo curled his lips: "Yes, the government says that every day, but I haven't seen any action. Anyway, I won't live to see them move away."
Zhong Dabao smirked and said, "I guess it can be done."
When they boarded the boat, someone came to ask about the seat, but Dad Bo shook his head and said that we were full, and that person reluctantly left.
The outboard engine made a loud noise and sprayed gray smoke to push the sampan into the ocean. The strong man swung his tail and lay happily on the side of the boat, letting the waves beat on him without caring.
The fat cat brothers huddled together. They liked bathing, but they didn't like the ocean environment.
The snow fox was even more miserable. It was still seasick. As the sampan shook with the waves on the sea, it first screamed miserably, and then lay down in a corner and began to vomit.
"This foodie sometimes vomits?" Wang Bo gloated.
The princess immediately showed him the demeanor of a foodie, even though he was still seasick, after he spit out a bunch of things, he opened his mouth to eat it!
Little Loli screamed, and rushed up like the wind to drag it away.
Fishing for blue-spotted horse mackerel depends on experience, where there may be fish, you have to look for them with the eyes of an experienced fisherman.
Bo Dad is very experienced in this area. After the sampan boat went deep into the sea for four or five kilometers, he slowed down the speed of the boat, scanned the sea with his eyes, and then said after reaching a sea area: "Okay, let's go fishing here!"
Eva asked curiously, "Can you see through the sea?"
Dad Bo said seriously: "It's not by looking, but by smelling. We old sea people can smell fish schools by smelling them. Fish schools have a smell."
Little Loli exclaimed: "It's stronger than the neck of a strong man and the queen?"
Bo's mother laughed loudly: "Well, his nose is like a dog's nose."
Eva was also amazed, and said, "This should be a magical skill that you have honed over decades of work, right?"
Seeing that the sisters really believed it, Bo's mother smiled and said: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, he is joking with you, look around carefully, there are hidden reefs here."
"A submerged reef is a protruding topography on the sea floor. The current is cut off here, and when it hits the submerged reef, it will flow upwards, and when the waves hit the top, it will flow down again, thus forming a confluence of currents."
"When the ocean currents converge, the nutrients on the sea surface and the bottom of the sea are brought together, which can feed algae, seaweed and some small organisms, and then attract fish and shrimps. This kind of place catches the most."
Although Bo Ma only went to junior high school, when it comes to the ocean and fishing, she can still speak clearly.
Zhong Dabao skillfully took out a bundle of fishing rods, he and Dad Bo hung small fish fry on the hooks, threw the hooks out, locked the fishing rods on the fishing position on the side of the boat, and the rest was to wait.
Bo's mother made a pot of hot coffee in the boat tent, served with baked pancakes the size of a child's palm, and used them as food to keep out the cold.
Zhong Dabao smiled and said, "Hey, auntie, is this just a combination of Chinese and Western? Coffee with pancakes, you are amazing."
Bo's mother said: "Auntie joking? You can try this pancake later, it's much better than the Oreo you bought."
The first meal they ate was small pancakes, which were made with milk and honey from the pasture. They were fragrant and sweet, and they were made of coarse grains so they would not be afraid of gaining weight. They ate them at home for the past few days.
Zhong Dabao took a bite and shouted, "Damn it, it's delicious!"
Seeing them eating, the dizzy little princess got up and walked over firmly with trembling steps. No matter what happened to Nima's seasickness, she had to eat when it was time to eat!
The bell on the fishing line rang, and Dad Bo strode over, grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it out quickly.
But after trying it, he shook his head: "It's not Spanish mackerel."
Sure enough, the fishing line was retracted and what was received was a sea bass.
This kind of fish is relatively common. It is not small, weighing two and a half catties. It is also a big sea bass.
In winter, the sea is very windy and waves, even though the sampan broke down, it still shakes very badly.
Wang Bo also caught a hook beside him, and when he pulled it out, it turned out to be a big squid.
Zhong Dabao became interested, and said: "Come here, give it to me, there is a stove on board, and I will make iron plate squid for you, this thing is a fresh product, you can't eat it outside!"
He went to deal with the squid, and after more than ten minutes, no more fish and shrimps were hooked. Seeing this, Dad couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "There are fewer and fewer things in the sea."
