16. Command the net
Fishing boats have left the continental shelf and are now in deep water.
From the coast to the deep sea, the sea breeze increases rapidly, even if the sun is shining today, the waves are still raging and rolling, and the kayak is a flat boat in the angry sea, and the violent fluctuations are really chilling.
As the old saying goes, if you don't get into a tiger's den, you get a tiger, and the worst is coming for fishermen, who go deep into the ocean, but the catch is still poor.
Ao Muyang dived into the water to overlook the surroundings, there are fish in the sea, there are mullet, golden pomfret, silver pomfret, white hairy fish and black hairy fish, crabs and moray eels can also be seen in the submarine reef area, the species are rich.
But the number is too small, most of them are in twos and threes, and occasionally in groups, it is also a small community.
The ocean is so vast that their small fishing boats can't pull up large nets, and the chances of landing a net are too small.
The fishing boat has broken down, Ao Zhiyi saves every penny of oil, every boat is an oil tiger, if it can't catch fish after it goes to sea, it will swallow the owner's deposit.
Large fish schools in the seawater are rare, and if you want to catch fish and shrimp at this time, you have to pay attention to the bottom of the sea, and the reef beach, coral area, mud and sand bottom and mud beach areas on the bottom of the sea are easy for fish to survive.
He swims quickly in the water, looking down at the bottom of the sea, looking for large reef beaches and coral areas, and if he finds such places, he can find schools of fish.
After swimming in the water for a while, he surfaced and saw a red flag waving in the wind on the fishing boat in the distance, which was also a kind of flag slogan, calling for the return of the small boat that had been released.
He didn't know what was going on, so he rowed back on the kayak.
As soon as he got on the boat, he saw Ao Zhiyi directing the fishermen to lower the nets, so he frowned and said, "Lay the nets here? ”
Ao Zhiyi handed him the thick net rope in his hand and said: "Two days ago, someone in Wangjia Village dragged a school of pomfret here, including silver pomfret and golden pomfret. ”
Taking the net rope, Ao Muyang shook his head and said, "I don't see any fish here, but you are the captain and the village chief, if you want to try it, then let's try it." ”
Before, he thought there was something big, it turned out to be to pull him back to be a strong man, obviously Ao Zhiyi was afraid that he would not be able to work, and now he didn't want him to find fish, and he could be a strong laborer.
When the net is cast down, the winch is activated, and the large fishing net that is loose in the sea gradually opens, like a pocket falling behind the boat, and as the boat goes, the net becomes bigger and bigger, and if there are fish on the road, it will be caught in it.
This first net is only to explore the way, so the net is short, and the boat has to be pulled up in less than an hour.
Ao Zhiyi shouted the number to let everyone pull the fishing net, and Ao Muyang asked: "Isn't there a winch? Why do you have to rely on manpower to pull it up?"
His elementary school classmate Ao Mupeng said angrily: "Opening the winch must not make the motor consume diesel?"
The nets were heavy at first, buoyant but also resistant, and as the nets were dragged out of the water, the crowd eased.
They felt lighter, and the expression on their faces became heavy, which meant that they had nothing to gain, and they couldn't make any money.
Sure enough, as the nets were dragged up, there were not many things in the nets, and most of them were garbage, only a few dozen marine fish of different sizes were bouncing in them.
Ao Zhiyi's face was gloomy, he pulled open the net and threw plastic plates, garbage bags and the like into the water, and said with a curse in his mouth: "a match, he Qin Niang, why is there so much in the sea - Margobi!"
Halfway through his words, his face became even more ugly.
Ao Muyang followed and looked, and under the garbage were fish, a few sea bass with white bellies, that is, seven-star sea bass, a common sea fish.
The meat of this fish is quite rich, and it is good to be caught, but it is not suitable for the first net.
It is also the reason for the customs of the fishermen, according to the ancestral legend, the first net caught by the white body fish is considered a bad omen, which means that it is unlucky to fish for nothing and go to sea for nothing.
The seven-star perch is a kind of white-bodied fish, which is divided into two types: black perch and white perch, and now it is the white perch that is caught, although its back is a little gray and black, but its belly is white.
At this time, they were jumping on the boat, and their white bodies looked even more dazzling in the sunlight.
Ao Zhiyi's face was pale, he grabbed a fish, took out a fish knife, chopped off the fish's head, and threw it into the sea.
Ao Muyang didn't speak, this is the custom to break the way to catch a white fish, cut off the head of the fish and throw it away, but whether it is useful or not is a matter of two words.
Ao Mupeng lit a cigarette and handed it to Ao Zhiyi, and said: "Second master, forget it, don't believe this thing, what era is it, now the core values of socialism are popular, continue to go online, there will always be ......"
"Okay, I don't need you to say it, go to work, clean up the garbage, don't talk here!" Ao Zhiyi scolded and took the cigarette and entered the cockpit with a gloomy face.
Disturbed by fishing nets, it can be chaotic underwater.
Ao Muyang seized this opportunity to jump into the water, through the sea, he did what he wanted, and saw a lot of fish swimming in panic under the water, including a school of sea bass appeared above the reef beach on the bottom of the sea.
There must be hundreds of large fish in this school, and sea bass is a ferocious carnivorous fish, and the big fish can be more than a meter long and twenty or thirty catties.
Although he didn't have a good impression of Ao Zhiyi, after all, people took him to sea to beg him to look for catch, and he couldn't help but work.
In addition, after having Jindan, he decided to stay in the village to develop marine fisheries, in this case, he needs to make a name for himself and establish prestige in the village, and he has to show himself this time in the sea.
Once on the boat, he said: "Put the fishing net again, this time change the deep-water net, put on the pendant, let the fishing net go down fifty or sixty meters, and then go southeast." ”
Ao Zhiyi, who was smoking, squinted his eyes and asked, "I haven't caught anything here, and it's useful to put it in the net?"
Ao Muyang said categorically: "Listen to me!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you once, get off the net!" Ao Zhiyi stood up and shook his hand and threw away the cigarette.
But then he felt that he was acting impulsively, and he was only halfway through the cigarette. So he saw that no one was paying attention to him, and picked up the cigarette butt and stuffed it into his mouth.
It just so happened that Ao Mupeng looked back and saw this scene, and immediately couldn't help laughing.
Ao Zhiyi's old face turned red, and then he said viciously: "Laugh at the fart, baby, I slipped my hand just now, my hand slipped!"
Ao Muyang commanded, the winch kept turning, and the fishing net fell, and it went directly dozens of meters deep.
It was nearly an hour of boat travel, and Ao Zhiyi waved his hand to direct a few people to drag the fishing nets.
This time they couldn't drag it, the net rope was very tight, and as soon as the net came out of the water, they felt that their hands were dead, not only could they not pull it up, but they were almost dragged down.
Seeing this, Ao Zhiyi was excited, and hurriedly ran to the cabin to start the winch motor.
The power of the machinery was enormous, the motor whined and roared, and the huge fishing nets were pulled up.
