Chapter 703 Bluefin Tuna

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Zhao Lei arrived at the fishing boat wharf in Port Richey.Even though it was so early, many fishing boats had already gone to sea, so Zhao Lei easily found Wolfe's Maverick.

Wolfe was on the boat getting ready to go out to sea. When he saw Zhao Lei, he immediately said with a smile on his face, "You're finally here. I almost called you to urge you!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "I think it's already quite early!"

Wolfe said seriously: "Only by going to sea as soon as possible can you occupy the best fishing spots. If you go late, those good spots will be taken away by others."

Now that Wolfe said so, Zhao Lei immediately jumped onto the deck and said, "Then let's set off as soon as possible!"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lei was so strong, Wolfe also gave him a thumbs up, and then shouted: "Bryan, untie the cable, we are about to set off!"

Brian is a sailor on the Mavericks, he looks a few years younger than Zhao Lei.As he promised loudly, he untied the cable, and under the driving of Wolfe, the Maverick slowly left the pier and sailed to the Gulf of Mexico.

If you want to catch large carnivorous fish such as bluefin tuna, it is best to use live bait of course.So not long after the Maverick left the pier, Zhao Lei and Brian started fishing for small fish such as sardines, preparing for the formal fishing of bluefin tuna.

Although this was Zhao Lei's first sea fishing, he was lucky.It didn't take long to catch two dozen sardines and even several squid.The bait fish caught will be kept in the tank first, so that they can survive for a period of time. Live bait can increase the probability of catching bluefin tuna.

After sailing for more than an hour, the Maverick gradually slowed down.When the boat was almost at a standstill, Brian threw the bow anchor into the water to keep the Maverick from drifting elsewhere.

"This is one of the most suitable places to catch bluefin tuna." Wolf told Zhao Lei: "The water here is relatively shallow, and sardines like to gather in this kind of place for food. Where there are sardines, it is possible to catch tuna."

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "I hope to catch a few more bluefin tuna. The more samples we study, the more accurate the conclusions we can draw."

Wolfe said earnestly: "I can't guarantee this. Fishing is all about luck. I can only say that I do my best."

What Wolfe said is indeed true, although the fishing equipment is very good now, and there are even sonars on the fishing boats to detect the movements of fish schools.But this can only help them find tuna. Whether these big fish will eventually take the bait is still a matter of luck.

The three people on the boat quickly prepared their fishing rods, hooked up the live bait they caught earlier and threw them into the sea. All they could do next was wait patiently.

In order to increase the chance of getting tuna, a total of five fishing rods were prepared on board the Maverick.Wolf told Zhao Lei that if he was lucky, he could even catch two or three bluefin tuna a day.

But for Zhao Lei, two or three a day is still too little.He plans to breed about twenty bluefin tuna in the ocean of Hulu Space. Even under the best circumstances, it will take about ten days to catch so many fish. Zhao Lei doesn't have that much time.

So when Wolfe and Brian were not paying attention, Zhao Lei made a small move.He took out a large drink bottle from his backpack, and quietly poured the water mixed with fairy dew into the sea.

When he was fishing eel fry and saury in the Yangtze River Estuary, Zhao Lei discovered that Xianlu was very attractive to fish.Just pour the fairy dew into the water, and it will quickly attract all the nearby fish.This method should also be useful for fish in the ocean, allowing him to catch more bluefin tuna.

Zhao Lei's guess was correct. Not long after he poured the elixir into the sea, Wolfe, who was staring at the sonar screen in the cockpit, yelled loudly: "I found the tuna. There are two marks here, very obvious!"

The effect of the elixir was very obvious. As soon as Wolfe finished speaking, the tuna took the bait.The fishing rod at the stern makes a light "click" sound, and the reel on the fishing rod rotates rapidly, indicating that the fishing line is being pulled out at a very high speed.

"It's a fish, it's a fish!" Brian yelled and ran to the stern, holding on to the fishing rod tightly, and began to fight with the big fish in the water.

Regardless of his young age, Brian has been sailing with Wolfe for several years and is a very experienced fisherman.He kept his eyes on the surface, feeling the movement of the tuna with his thumb on the line.According to the different reactions of the tuna, the fishing line will be tightened for a while, and the reel will be loosened for a while, trying to control the situation with all efforts to prevent the tuna from getting off the hook and escaping.

It is not easy to catch big fish like bluefin tuna. Many tuna are even heavier than fishermen, and they are absolutely powerful in the water. Some particularly tough fish can even fight with fishermen all day long.

So Brian didn't dare to be careless, and planned to slip the fish for a while, and when the big guys in the water started to get tired, he slowly retracted the fishing line and pulled the tuna to the side of the boat.

"Bryan, take your time, don't let it get away!" Wolfe cheered his crew loudly, and then said to Zhao Lei with a smile on his face: "It seems that we are lucky, there are fish hooked so soon, haha !"

At this time, another fishing rod also made a "click" sound, obviously another fish bit the bait!
"Haha, double luck!" Laughing, Wolfe ran to grab the rod and began to wrestle with the second bluefin tuna.

But the Maverick's luck didn't end here, and soon another fish bit the hook.This time, Zhao Lei, a novice, can only deal with the third blue flag tuna in person.

"Today's luck is so good!" Wolf said loudly while retrieving the fishing line: "Everyone, don't relax, if the Mavericks catches three tunas at once, it will be a record-breaking result!"

Only Zhao Lei knew that three fish took the bait at a time, but they were all due to the effect of fairy dew.But this kind of thing can't be said, it's better to let Wolfe attribute all this to luck.

After more than half an hour of fighting, the fish that Wolf caught was the first to be pulled back to the side of the boat, and he immediately shouted happily: "What a big fish, at least four feet long!"

Although the bluefin tuna caught in this trip will be released, Zhao Lei will still pay Wolfe a sum of money according to the size of the fish.This four-foot bluefin tuna, for example, earned Wolff $[-], so it's no wonder he's so happy.

Following standard "scientific research" procedure, the fish were tagged.Wolfe was about to ask Brian to help pull the fish onto the deck. Zhao Lei had already fixed the fishing rod on the base and jumped into the sea.
