Cultivation Fishermen

Chapter 36 School of Fish
Although people from the Maritime Surveillance Bureau come out to patrol the sea every day, they will not go to sea 24 hours a day, so many fishermen will occasionally go to sea at night to haul a net secretly, and some harvests can make the whole family live a stable life. day.

However, fishing at night is very risky. For example, you will encounter strong winds and waves, lose your way, encounter water mist, and may hit the rocks, or even the boat will be destroyed. Therefore, the food for fishermen is not so delicious. of.

Liu Zhibin took control of the small fishing boat, drew a big circle on the sea, and headed towards Feiyu Bay that Long Hai mentioned.Feiyu Bay is more than 20 kilometers away from the small fishing village. There is a deserted island nearby, with an area of ​​about two to three square kilometers. However, because there are no trees and no water source, it is only a place for fishermen to rest at sea, and no one wants to live on it.

This deserted island is called Flying Fish Island, shaped like a crescent moon, forming a natural bay. Every July and August, this is the natural fishing ground of a small fishing village and some surrounding fishing villages. You can see groups of fish flying out of the sea. .

Half an hour later, the small fishing boat of the Long family circled in one direction and sailed over from the county seat. The black shadow of Feiyu Island appeared on the dark sea ahead, like a giant sea monster showing its blue back.

Liu Zhibin controlled the fishing boat to circle around Feiyu Island. There were no sea surveillance ships or other fishing boats on the surrounding sea. The entire sea began to dim, only the twinkling stars in the sky and the sound of waves crashing. There was a beeping sound, and then there was the noisy sound of the diesel engine beeping.

"Xiao Hai, let's take a look at the net. There is no sea surveillance ship coming out tonight, so it's a good opportunity to get off the net." At this moment, Long Shan and Liu Zhibin couldn't hold back anymore.

"Don't be too busy, it's still early, and no one knows if the sea surveillance ship will come out? And our diesel engine is so loud, I'm afraid we can hear it from a long distance. Why don't we slow down the speed first, so that Reduce the sound of the diesel engine to the minimum, and then slowly turn around the Flying Fish Island a few times, observe and observe."

Long Hai used his divine sense to scan the sea surface, and found no large fish schools within a radius of several hundred meters, and under the sea surface tens of meters deep, so he thought for a while and told his elder brother and the others that they would use the excuse of observation to stop them. They got off the net hastily.

"Xiao Hai is right. Let's not panic and get off the net. We'll talk about it later." Brother-in-law Liu Zhibin has always been quite convinced by Long Hai's words. There was a soft chug.

The three of them sat on the fishing boat and slowly turned around the Flying Fish Island. Each lap took more than 10 minutes, and the circles were getting larger and larger, but they did not leave the Flying Fish Island because they were far away. Without a reference, it is very likely to lose your way.

Long Hai remained calm, only listening to his eldest brother and brother-in-law whispering next to him, while he used his consciousness to constantly scan the situation within hundreds of meters below the sea surface where the fishing boat passed, looking for passing fish schools .

Almost an hour later, Long Hai finally found a school of fish under the sea surface in the distance, and it was almost nine o'clock at this time, and the moon had risen from the sea, turning the sea surface within a range of more than ten miles into daylight, and it was possible to There are no ships on the sea in the distance.

"Brother-in-law, go there, I seem to find a school of fish under the sea."

Long Hai pointed in the direction of the school of fish, and the small fishing boat immediately turned around and began to speed up to catch up.As the distance shortened, Long Hai finally had a clear glance at the school of fish, which turned out to be a group of very precious small yellow croakers.

Long Hai couldn't help but get excited. The price of small yellow croakers is not cheap. Even if the natural small yellow croakers are sold wholesale, they cost 200 yuan a catty.

But now they have encountered a group of small yellow croakers, and they can drag up a thousand or eight hundred catties with just one net. That's more than 20 and [-] yuan, which is basically the income of an ordinary fisherman's family for the entire fishing period.

"At this position, if you trawl the net with big eyes, we don't want those small ones."

Long Hai pointed to a location, Liu Zhibin immediately slowed down the speed of the fishing boat, and Long Shan immediately lowered the trawl net from the tail slide to the sea slowly.

Long’s fishing boats use single-vessel trawling and tail trawling, while sleeved trawls are mainly used for mid-level and bottom-level operations, so they can only operate in offshore areas.

The front end of the net sleeve of the trawl with sleeves is equipped with a net plate. When the net is dragged forward, the net plate will generate expansion force under the action of water flow, which can make the net open horizontally.

During the operation, the fishing boat advances slowly and releases the net gear from the tail slide, connects the net plate to the drag line and separates it from the two net plate frames.Then the fishing boat moved forward quickly, and gradually released the two dragging gangs.

When the towing line is released to a predetermined length, the fishing boat trawls forward according to the predetermined towing direction and towing speed.The length released by the drag line is generally 3 to 5 times the water depth.The trawling speed is generally 3 to 5 knots per hour.

Compared with the past, today's fishing boats have more advanced fishing methods, and they don't need to be operated entirely by manpower, so about three people on a small fishing boat are enough, otherwise, at least seven or eight people can carry out the operation.

A few minutes later, a small, big-eye trawl net slipped into the sea from the tail slide, and opened under the action of the upper and lower floats and sinkers, like a huge mouth, quickly surrounded the school of fish .

The nets they cast were the ones with the largest mesh, which could only catch large fish weighing more than two catties.However, the medium-mesh net can catch fish weighing more than one catty. If it is a fine-mesh net, it will not let go of even small fish and shrimp weighing one or two pounds.

The speed of the fishing boat slowly increased, catching up with the direction Long Hai pointed out.After 10 minutes, the three of them clearly felt that the fishing boat became heavier, and the speed gradually decreased. Apparently, a lot of fish had been caught up by the fishing net and caught in it.

"Hahaha, Xiaohai, you are really accurate. There are indeed fish schools in this place. It seems that there will be a big harvest tonight." Long Shan laughed.

"Yes, yes, according to the speed of the fishing boat's descent, it is estimated that this net can contain thousands of catties of fish. This is really great. Our family has not had such a harvest for a long time." Liu Zhibin also laughed excitedly.

At this time, they still don't know that the one caught in the net below is a small yellow croaker. If they knew, they might be so happy that they would jump into the sea.And the reason why they are happy is that even if they catch ordinary sea fish, it costs 30 yuan a catty, so thousands of catties can be sold for 3 to [-] thousand yuan.

　PS:

　　Today, I took a look at the three books that ranked ahead of us on the general list. We are the most clicked by members, but the recommendation votes were dropped by them a few streets.The recommendation votes for the top three are all above 400, and there are four or five thousand votes more, and we only have more than [-], so we can't break into the top three.

　　Here, please allow Shenhai to roll around and ask everyone for a recommendation ticket. It is said that it is more effective to roll and ask for tickets. Then Shenhai has been rolling from tonight to tomorrow morning. I wonder if I can get everyone's recommendation tickets?

　　Dear friends, recommendation tickets are available every day. We now have more than 600 collections. Are more than 600 relatives still fattening this book?But fattening also needs fertilizer, and the recommendation ticket is the best fertilizer.

　　Deep Sea doesn’t ask you for tips or anything, it needs to spend extra money, so I ask you for a few recommendation tickets every day, can you satisfy Deep Sea’s desire to hit the top three in the overall list?

　　Thank you everyone, I can't bow, because the deep sea is still rolling——
