"Xiao, what are you doing here?" Doyle looked at Xiao Peng's actions with a confused expression.

At this time, Xiao Peng was squatting on the deck to arrange a rope, he hung a heavy object at the end of the rope, but linked a thin rope at the front end of the rope, and a buoy was hung on it.

Xiao Peng explained: "Be a human flow detector. With that, he threw the rope into the sea, looking at the buoy and his pocket watch.

"Alright, take it!" Xiao Peng calculated for a while and commanded the person to put away the rope, and then returned to the cockpit, calculating what while looking at the chart.

Doyle was very puzzled: "Xiao, why are you doing this?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "You rely too much on instruments for fishing. This is a fishing experience from the East. I'm calculating the velocity of the underwater current, and I know you have the data on the instrument here, but it's better to calculate the width, velocity, and direction of the current. This is the experience of old Chinese fishermen. ”

After asking Xiao Peng about the calculation method, Doyle asked, "Xiao, you haven't changed your position for so long?"

Xiao Peng smiled and pointed to the chart: "According to my calculations, there is no better location in the sea area near here now." Just think you're fishing, and wait! What kind of sonar are you on this boat? Single-beam fishing sonar or multi-beam fishing sonar or electronically scanning sonar?"

Doyle replied: "Multi-beam electron scanning sonar combined with multi-beam and electron scanning. This is the deep-sea area, and the detection position is about two kilometers. ”

Xiao Peng said: "The fish trap lights on the boat are all turned on!"

"Open now?" Doyle was stunned.

"Doyle, you have my lighting boat driven three kilometers upwind. I'll let you come back, and you'll come back. Xiao Peng commanded.

Doyle operated the dashboard, turned on the fish trap light, and asked his son-in-law Charlton to turn on the light to the designated position according to Xiao Peng's requirements, and about an hour later, Xiao Peng picked up the walkie-talkie: "Charles, slowly drive back at a speed of eight knots." Doyle, find someone to drive the trawler as I command. ”

After hearing this, Doyle stared at the sonar with wide eyes: "Xiao, this sonar hasn't been shown yet, how do you know that there are fish?"

Xiao Peng explained: "This kind of water surface seine is called 'floating water' in our Huaxia, and if you look at the moonlight, what is there?

Doyle blinked, picked up the binoculars and looked at them for a long time: "Xiao, your eyes are so good! I didn't even see them, but there aren't many boobies." ”

"Except for the hungry boobies who come out to hunt at night. Xiao Peng said.

"There are fish!" Doyle looked excited when he saw the sonar, only to see a pattern of red and yellow on the sonar meter: "This school of fish doesn't look like there are many of them!"

"That's not here yet, how deep is your fishing net?"

Doyle replied, "It's definitely not enough, Limit Thirteen Fathoms." It's best to keep it within 10 fathoms, after all, I'm a small fishing boat. ”

Xiao Peng thought for a moment: "Doyle, let Charles increase the speed to fifteen knots, take the fish to the shallow water, and then the trawler is ready to go to sea at any time." ”

Doyle frowned and said, "The fish haven't come here yet." ”

"Listen to me. Xiao Peng said lightly.

Doyle gritted his teeth and shouted outside, "Hall, get ready!"

Xiao Peng waited for a while and then waved his hand at Doyle: "Get off the net!"

The dinghy at the stern of the 'Reindeer' ran straight out, and the boatswain was there to report at any time: "The fourth ring, the fifth ring, the sixth ring。。。。。。 Xiao Peng drove the 'Reindeer' in the opposite direction and moved slowly, and the trawler just surrounded the fishing nets. When the trawler approached the Caribou, he tied a rope with a hook and went out to tighten the rope.

Xiao Peng commanded: "Collect the bottom rope!"

This kind of purse seine is a cylindrical shape in the sea, and the bottom rope is to close the bottom of the net together, so that if there are fish in the net, it will not be able to escape.

Doyle and the fisherman on the boat looked nervously at the water, wondering if there was any catch. After the net, the sonar could not see the situation in the net. Purse seine fishing vessels like this are for schools of surface fish, and if they don't touch schools of surface fish, they are empty nets with zero harvest.

"There's fish!" shouted Charlton on the lighting boat.

All the people on the fishing boat were excited when they heard the word 'there are fish', and as the nets tightened, there were already fish jumping out of the water and crackling.

Doyle shouted excitedly, "Hurry up and close the net!"

The winch and crane made a 'squeak' sound, and Doyle looked excited: "It's a mackerel!"

Mackerel costs three times as much as herring, and catching mackerel is of course the most cost-effective.

As the nets slowly tightened, the nets reached the side of the boat. The people on the fishing boat were all excited.

"Why didn't they drag the nets up?" asked Nikita.

Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this: "Put it away, how can there be such a big crane on such a small boat?"

"Then how did they get the fish back, just drag it back to the side of the boat?" Nikita frowned.

Doyle explained Nikita's doubts with actions, only to see the fisherman carry an exhaust pipe and throw it into the water, only to hear a rumbling sound, and then pull out with the seawater, the back of the exhaust pipe is a net, the sea water is discharged back into the sea, and the fish are all in the cabin.

"This has a water pump. Just pull the fish out. Xiao Peng said.

"How convenient, how do you do without this pump?" asked Nikita.

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "Manpower fishing! Originally, there were no winches or anything like that for fishing, and they all relied on the fishermen's manual fishing, do you see the big fishing net placed somewhere? That is to deal with emergencies, if the water pump fails, the fishermen should use the fishing net to fish, and they can catch 500 pounds in one net! Two or three fishermen operate together, and these fish will be fished in a few hours. ”

"So hard, huh?" Nikita pouted.

Xiao Peng smiled: "No one has ever said that fishing is not a hard thing. What time is it? At one o'clock in the morning, this boatload of people is busy here. What is it for? Isn't it just to make money?"

"God, God, Xiao, you're too god!" Doyle rushed into the cockpit: "220,000 pounds of mackerel! God! I just let go of 20,000 pounds of mackerel, I'm almost distressed! How the hell did you do that?"

For these fishermen, it is really not a good thing to catch more, not to mention that they can't sell it, and if they are caught, they will be fined, so the extra share will be released back into the sea.

Xiao Peng said proudly: "I said, you rely too much on technology, we Chinese fishermen pay attention to the sky, the sea, and the tide." You can't catch fish without science and technology, but what about us in China? The popularization of science and technology fishing is only a matter of the last two or three decades, and even today, most fishing boats still don't even have sonar to find fish, relying on experience. I really suggest you all go to Huaxia to learn fishing skills. Your level of science and technology here is high, but traditional fishery operations such as purse seine fishing and gillnet fishing, I still recommend that you go to Huaxia to study, there are benefits. ”

Then a voice came over the intercom: "Doyle, Doyle, are you there, I'm Kurt!"

Doyle picked up the walkie-talkie: "Kurt, what's the matter?"

Kurt said on the intercom: "There is a school of big herring here in the green algae shoal, I just caught 115,000 pounds, the ration is full, your boat is big, come and catch herring!"

Doyle listened, "Kurt, thank you so much! If it had been a few hours earlier, I would have gone over to you, but now I don't need to." ”

"Why?" Kurt asked.

"Just a few minutes ago, I put 20,000 pounds of mackerel back into the sea!"

"What?" asked Kurt, "how big are you fishing? Where are you? Am I too late to go over now?"

Doyle smiled wryly, "I don't know. ”

Kurt was anxious: "Doyle, why are you like this? You just threw 20,000 pounds of fish, and now you tell me that you don't know how big the fish are? You can't be so selfish, okay? I have herring here and I'll let you know! If I'm not mistaken, your mackerel ration is 200,000 pounds, right?"

Doyle explained: "I really don't know, I won't tell you, Xiao is on my boat, and this net is under Xiao's command. Xiao's fishing skills are really amazing, I only saw a school of fish approaching on the sonar, and before the fish could get close, he commanded the net, I couldn't figure out what was happening, the net was full of fish. At that time, didn't you say that Xiao just relied on technology to fish with a good boat? This is really not the case! Xiao's fishing skills were beyond my imagination! The skills he displayed completely shocked me!

Kurt hurriedly said, "Help me ask Xiao about the fish." ”

Doyle looked at Xiao Peng, and Xiao Peng said, "Ask him about his current coordinates." ”

After Doyle told Xiao Peng Coulter's coordinates, Xiao Peng calculated on the paper and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Kurt, your ship has more than 110,000 pounds of herring, can you still load mackerel?"

Kurt said, "I also have a small cabin on the ship, which can hold about 30,000 pounds of space. ”

"Okay, I'll give you a coordinate, as long as you can get to that point at a speed of more than twelve knots, there will be a school of mackerel in four hours, but it's not a big school, at most 50,000 pounds, whether you can catch it depends on your ability." Xiao Peng said lightly.

There was silence on the walkie-talkie for a while: "Xiao, can you even count what time there are fish? Damn, are you the child of the sea god? I swear to God, if I really see a school of mackerel at that coordinate in four hours, I will put your photo and God's photo together in the future and hang it in the cockpit!"
