Chapter 43 Finding the School of Tuna
But because the water level where these tuna are located is too deep, no one else can see them at all. Only Ye Feng can see them.
Captain Zhou and others looked around and found that there were not many ordinary fish nearby, let alone precious tuna.
Therefore, Captain Zhou couldn't help but frowned and said: "Boy, are you sure there are really tuna around here? Why didn't we see any?"
"Yes! Ye Feng, are you mistaken? There are not many fish here!" Boss Xiao also said disappointedly.
Only Xiao Feifei said: "If you don't look around, it might be nearby!"
Ye Feng smiled and said: "No need! The tuna schools are right under our fishing boat, but the water where they are is too deep, so you can't see them on the water!"
The visibility of the sea water is only about 20 meters, and the depth of the sea water where the group of tuna is located is less than 30 meters. Naturally, they cannot see it if they look at it from the surface of the sea.
Ye Feng made an estimate and asked someone to dive ten or twenty meters, and he should still be able to see it.
"Just under the boat? Really?" Captain Zhou didn't believe it.
Ye Feng heard this and said: "Captain Zhou, don't worry about whether it's true or not. You lost the bet just now! Now you and your crew must obey my command!"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Captain Zhou was speechless and said: "Okay! You tell me what to do!"
Ye Feng said: "There must be some good divers among your crew!"
Captain Zhou nodded, and then shouted to the crew behind him: "Aaron, come up!"
I saw a strong young man running over immediately.
Captain Zhou introduced: "Aaron is the most powerful diver in my fleet. He can dive down to ten or twenty meters without any problem!"
Ye Feng glanced at Aaron and said, "Very good, you can put on your swimming gear and dive about ten meters, and you should be able to see a school of tuna!"
Aaron nodded, immediately put on his swimming gear and went down.
Everyone watched from above as Aaron slowly dived into the water and finally disappeared.
Three minutes later, Aaron surfaced. His face was full of joy and he said: "Captain, there are really tuna, a large group of them, and they are large tuna! What about mozzarella tuna, big eye tuna,...
Yellowfin tuna is available!”
Hearing this, Captain Zhou was stunned and said: "What? Really? Or a big tuna?"
Under normal circumstances, small-sized tuna are found on the surface of the sea between zero and twenty meters. These tuna are generally not large and weigh less than ten kilograms.
The tuna caught by Captain Zhou and others in the past were this small-sized tuna.
Large-sized tuna, such as bluefin tuna, masu tuna, big eye tuna, yellowfin tuna and albacore tuna, which weigh more than 20 kilograms, are in deep water below 30 meters and are difficult to see with the naked eye.
.
"What? There is really tuna! It's great, it's really great!" When Boss Xiao heard this, he was so excited that he let go of the big stone in his heart.
"Haha! Ye Feng is so awesome! There is actually tuna here!" Xiao Feifei was also very happy.
If they can't get the tuna back, their Dragon King Hall won't know how to explain it to the mayor. Now that they can find the tuna, everything will be easier.
"Finally found the tuna, let's start catching!" Captain Zhou was also excited and gearing up, ready to start working hard.
But Ye Feng said: "Wait a minute! How do you plan to catch these tuna?"
Captain Zhou heard this and said: "For large-sized tuna, of course we need to use the longline fishing method!"
"Longline fishing method? What method is that?" Xiao Feifei asked doubtfully.
Boss Xiao also looked puzzled. It was obvious that they had never heard of these fishing methods.
Captain Zhou then said: "The longline fishing method is to tie a floating ball to the main line of the rope, which floats at a certain depth underwater. At regular intervals, a branch line is tied to the main line, and a fishhook is tied to the branch line. The fishhook can reach 3,000
The sea is deep and wide, and large tuna can be caught by longline fishing.”
Hearing what Captain Zhou said, the two of them seemed to understand.
But at this time, Ye Feng objected: "The longline fishing method is too troublesome and not very efficient. We don't have so much time! You can't use the longline fishing method!"
Captain Zhou heard this and asked puzzledly: "Then what method should be used?"
"Let's use the rolling net fishing method! This way the harvest will be faster and the harvest volume will be larger!" Ye Feng said.
But Captain Zhou immediately retorted: "Fishing with a roll net is not possible! Although the catch is large, the caught tuna will be stacked together and injured during the struggle, and the tuna below will change color because it cannot be processed in time!"
"More importantly, this method can only catch small tuna within 0 to 20 meters! And tuna schools below 30 meters are simply difficult to catch!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry about this! I'll take care of it! By the way, there must be bait and other things on your fishing boat!"
"Yes! Why do you want bait?" Captain Zhou, Boss Xiao and others were very puzzled.
Ye Feng said: "Don't worry about it, just listen to my command!"
"Okay! It's all up to you!"
Although Captain Zhou was very puzzled by Ye Feng's actions, he still hired someone to bring out a bunch of bait and put it in front of him.
Ye Feng grabbed the bait, smelled it, and said, "It's okay! Put down the fishing net now!"
Captain Zhou really didn't understand Ye Feng's actions at all, but he still had the courage to ask people to put down the fishing net.
Seven or eight people worked together to lower a super-large net measuring tens of meters into the sea water.
Just after they set up the fishing net as Ye Feng said, Ye Feng directly grabbed the bait and threw it into the sea one after another.
"You, what are you doing? Do you want to lure the tuna up like this?" Captain Zhou looked at Ye Feng as if he were a fool.
Ye Feng nodded seriously and said: "That's right! Let's invite you to come in! After the tuna school enters the range, you can follow my command to close the net!"
But Captain Zhou immediately said: "Nonsense! This, how is it possible to attract tuna below thirty meters! It's simply a waste of bait!"
When Boss Xiao saw this, he also tried to persuade him: "Yes! Ye Feng! You can only attract some superficial fish at most!"
"Don't worry! It's okay if I say yes!" Ye Feng said confidently.
But Captain Zhou objected: "No! You are just messing around..."
However, when Boss Xiao saw this, he stopped Captain Zhou and said: "Forget it! Let him give it a try!"
"What? Such an obviously impossible thing, why are you following him, Boss Xiao! We finally found the tuna, what if we scare it away?" Captain Zhou said angrily.
Ye Feng said: "Don't worry! If I didn't attract those tuna, the responsibility will be all on me, I will definitely not blame you!"
Captain Zhou heard this, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Okay!"
Just like that, Ye Feng grabbed handfuls of bait and scattered it on the sea.
What they didn't realize was that every time Ye Feng grabbed the bait, he would pause for half a second before dropping it...
