Chapter 748 747. Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals (15)

Sorry, my friend has something to do on the weekend, I asked for help, and I came back late, so I can update it at this time. ****

Coincidentally, Li Du hated seeing someone use excuses such as 'like to be straightforward' and 'like to tell the truth' to cover up their rude language.

The captain's attitude and words made him inevitably angry, and he said coldly: "Don't talk too much, isn't it just fishing for some lobsters and crabs in this sea? This is a very simple matter. If you are not convinced, let's make a bet? "

"How to bet?"

Li Du said: "I saw that you have shrimp pots and crab pots on your boat, right? Give us an hour, we go to sea, and an hour later, we will come back with lobsters and crabs."

The captain shook his head firmly: "No, I will definitely not take risks with you."

Li Du said: "We will always stay where you can see, isn't it a risk? You can see us on the sea."

Hearing what he said, the captain thought about it for a while and showed an expression of enlightenment: "You want to deploy hanging cages in the sea to catch lobsters and crabs? Ha, this is a really good idea, but you will definitely not succeed."

Cage fishing for lobsters and crabs is a common method in this industry, that is, a boat sails on the sea, puts down the shrimp and crab pots, and waits for the lobsters and crabs to drill in by themselves.

But this is not an easy job. First of all, it tests people's vision and experience. It is necessary to find a place where lobsters and crabs live, and it is best to meet shrimp or crab swarms. Only in this way can they be attracted to enter the cage.

Secondly, enough attractive bait and enough time must be given to attract lobsters and crabs into the cage, but this cannot be done too hastily, and you have to wait slowly.

There is nothing wrong with the method Li Du proposed. The problem is that the owner of the boat knows that he has just arrived at Jindao, so it is not believed that he knows the distribution of catches in this sea area.

Even if he had an idea of ​​the distribution of the catch, that hour was too short a time to catch the lobsters and crabs unless they were right in front of them.

Li Du shrugged and said, "Let's just do it and leave the harvest to God. Why, don't you dare to bet with me?"

The captain was angered by his words, and said: "Yes, we can bet, tell me, what is the bet?"

Li Du said: "You win, and I will double the cost of going to sea this time. If you lose, the cost of going to sea will remain the same, but you have to apologize to my buddy."

He patted Brother Wolf on the shoulder and added: "Apologize to him, it proves that you underestimated his ability, you shouldn't question him."

Without hesitation, the owner readily agreed: "Okay, that's it!"

He just apologized for losing, and if he won, he could make a lot of money.

Besides, he didn't believe that he would lose!

The two sides signed a document, and the owner dragged out the shrimp pots and crab pots from the cabin and handed them over to Li Du, telling him, "Be careful when using them, I'm a new product."

There were a lot of them, and the leased yacht was a large yacht, also a commercial fishing boat, with a length of more than ten meters and a lifeboat.

Li Du lowered the lifeboat, and then went into the sea with the cage with Brother Lang and Hans.

The lifeboat was rowed out, Brother Wolf said: "Boss, the bet is not fair."

Li Du said: "It's fair, he will lose, and then apologize to you, I can't let my subordinates be questioned in front of my children, let alone despised?"

Brother Wolf opened his mouth to say something, but at the end of the sentence, he nodded and changed his words: "Understood, boss."

Li Du released small flying insects to find the reef waters where the owner of the Lucky Harvest fished seafood last time. This waters is full of towering reefs on the bottom of the sea, and there are brilliant corals all over it.

In addition to corals, there are also a large number of seagrass and algae growing here, which form the bottom chain of the food chain, attracting a large number of plankton and aquatic insects to survive.

Plankton and aquatic insects are the food of many fish, shrimp and crabs. Li Du clearly remembered that there were lobster swarms and crab swarms here.

The little flying insect was unimpeded in the water, and soon, according to Li Du's memory, it found the vast seabed reef.

The reefs are undulating and row upon row, and some places are coral reefs. Countless coral polyps are shaking with the waves, showing brilliant colors of life.

More places are ordinary reefs, which are gray-black, reddish-brown, gray-white, etc. A large number of seaweeds and seaweeds live in them, and various fish schools are constantly shuttling among them.

There are many pores and hollows on the reef, and lobsters live here.

The lobsters here come in all sizes, from the length of a thumb to the length of a child's arm.

Their carapace is hard, the main body is greenish-brown with red spots, the pincers and claws are yellow with knotted spots, and they look majestic.

This is the famous Australian rock lobster, the world's top lobster.

Australian rock lobsters like to be nocturnal, they hide in the cave during the day, only revealing two pairs of antennae and head to feel the movement outside the cave, and go out to look for food at night.

Li Du knew about this Australian specialty before, and knew that they mainly feed on small fish, small crabs, small shellfish, sea urchins, barnacles, algae and so on.

In addition to the Australian rock lobster, another target king crab they are going to catch this time is also living in the reef.

King crab, like Australian rock lobster, is a very famous marine specialty in Australia. They are abundant in the Bass Strait and the Tasman Sea. They are known as the king of crabs and are extremely delicious.

Unlike Australian rock lobsters, which are cautious by nature, king crabs are very domineering. They are particularly able to grow, and can grow up to the size of a basin, weighing 30 to 40 kilograms, which is amazing.

In this way, with their large claws and indestructible shells, there are not many creatures in the ocean that can threaten them, especially king crabs are also good at living in groups.

At this time, on the reef, there is a group of emperor crabs wriggling. They live in the lower layer of the reef, which is relatively deep across the sea surface, more than 60 meters away, and it is not easy to catch them.

However, if they are prepared with enough attractive bait, it is another matter.

After quickly finding their community living area, Li Du signaled Brother Wolf and Hans to start lowering the cage. Before putting it down, they stuffed raw chicken and some shellfish into it.

These baits are full of fishy smell and are one of the favorite delicacies of shrimp and crabs.

Li Du used the small flying insects to determine where the hanging cages would fall, ensuring that they would eventually land in the middle of the lobsters and crabs. He believed that it would not be difficult to invite you into the urn with the right location and the right food.

Shrimp pots are different from crab pots. Shrimp pots are cuboid with openings on the front, back, left, and right sides, while crab pots are flat and round with openings on only one side.

Australian rock lobsters are slow eaters and greedy, and they will hog the food for a long time after entering the cage, so that even if the cage has multiple openings, they will not leave.

King crabs are different, they will want to leave when they get food, but they are pawns crossing the river and never retreat, so only one side of the crab cage has an opening, they enter through this side, and will not exit again.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, Li Du puts the cage, and returns to the yacht with the two of them.
