The fish are wandering in the sea, so it is difficult to get the fishing line, but it is not suitable to use the trawl, the night is dark and the wind and the waves are high, the trawl is inconvenient to enter the water, and the fishing boat is easy to be frightened and scattered.

The school of red snapper is not as large as mackerel, its population is not large, it is not very numerous, and once it is frightened and flees in all directions, the nets will not work.

This is because red sea bream is difficult to catch in large quantities, Ao Muyang had to drive away the tiger first, and then release gold drops to attract the fish back, during which he took a small boat on the sea, and from time to time put a gold drop to stabilize them, and then commanded everyone to go down the fishing line.

A long line stretches out of the sea, and the hook floats in the water with bait, waiting for the big fish to take the bait.

After the longline fishing was ready, Ao Muyang could rest, and at this time it was almost dawn, so he simply watched the sunrise with Lu Zhizi wearing a cotton coat on the bow of the boat.

Lu Zhizi boiled hot cocoa, and the two of them nested together and took small sips, the hot drink was full of fragrance, and it was very comfortable to drink at this time.

Having been busy on the boat, Lu Wuxian was also woken up, he drank hot cocoa for a while, and when the fishing line was fully spread and the boat was calm again, he went back to sleep.

Lu Zhizi asked him if he wanted to see the sunrise, and he said that he would wake him up when the time came.

After a ray of light appeared on the surface of the eastern sea, Lu Zhizi went to call him, in exchange for a howl: "Can you spare my life? You are my sister, my own sister, can you let me sleep? I have dark circles under my eyes, why do you want to argue that I won't let me sleep? Is there any reason?"

Lu Zhizi didn't bother to pay attention to him.

From the early hours of the morning until noon, the fishermen began to put away their fishing lines.

As the hook was retracted, the big fish with a bright red appearance were caught.

"Real sea bream!" Ao Muyang said.

"yes, that's a hanging!" Lu Wuxian said.

Red sea bream can grow to a considerable size, and in the past, when the catch was abundant, fishermen could catch a large fish that was one meter long, but now it is not possible, and 80 centimeters is already rare.

The hook brought up a lot of red sea bream with only about a catty, these fish are not small fish, can be caught, and they are the most valuable, the red foreign people call it 'boy sea bream', also called the boy chicken.

The reason why it has such a name is not because the pronunciation of sea bream is diao, but the pronunciation of baby sea bream has a different meaning. This is not a bad taste of the red foreigners, because the meat of the red sea bream is as delicate as chicken, so it also has a common name called sea chicken, and the boy chicken is derived from its common name.

Baby bream refers to those snappers that have not yet spawned and mated, and are about one year old, and are especially nutritious, and wild baby bream can make a main dish even on the table of a five-star hotel.

Putting away the nets, they harvested more than 200 red sea bream, large and small, which is quite a lot, and the fishermen were very happy, singing fishing songs and shouting trumpets, and continued to break the waves.

There is no longer any value in longlining in the surrounding waters, and the remnants of the sea bream have long since disappeared, and it is not clear where they have gone.

Shrimp and red sea bream have been caught, and the purpose of this trip to sea has been achieved, and the rest is up to luck, and if you can catch something again.

The big dragon head sailed into the deep sea from the coast, and Ao Muyang went down from time to time to ride a tiger to explore the way, and then he had a harvest and encountered a school of mullet.

This fish is very common, it has a great ability to live in fresh, brackish and brackish water, which means that they are very tolerant of the living environment.

However, it is quite rare to encounter mullet in the deep sea, because they like to inhabit coastal shores, bays and river estuaries, such as the river estuaries in the southern coastal zone of China, there are many brackish and freshwater mullet farms.

The value of mullet is not high, but it is better than nothing, and if the fishing net is cast, there is a big harvest.

Sailing all the way to the fishing song, as usual, it takes two or three days to go to sea, and the big dragon head begins to return.

"The fuel tank of this ship is still a little small, and in the future, we can stay at sea for the whole month, when all the cabins are full, and when we will go back. Ao Mudong said with a fluttering eyebrow.

Ao Muyang said: "Do you think that ship is nuclear-powered? and stay at sea for the whole month, don't dream." ”

"Then you won't be out for two days and run back. ”

The Dragon's Head can stay at sea, the fuel tank of this ship is not too large, but it can support ten days and eight days, and it is no problem to go to the northern sea and Fusang sea area.

But for the sake of safety, Ao Muyang does not want to stay at sea for a long time, in this case, there is no need to fill up the fishing boat, you must know that after the full load of oil, the additional load is too heavy, or it will consume excess fuel.

On their last trip to sea this year, they had a good harvest, and when they returned to the dock, the big guys were elated.

Ao Daodao looked regretful and said: "This time it is a good harvest, but unfortunately it is not as good as the head-on mane now, otherwise we will definitely be able to win the first place this time." ”

"If we open the year-round head-on mane, then there is nothing to go to sea this time, we can also get the mane flag, don't brag, we go to sea for a month and go to sea for a year on top of other ships." Ao Mudong said confidently.

Head-on mane is the name of a local folk fishery competition in the Red Ocean, which is to find a period of time every year to set up the fishing season, and then the big guy registers the catch during this period, and finally comes to see who catches more, which is called head-on mane.

In the past, there were many fishery competitions, and the fishing season was set for a short time, often with a fishing flood period, such as the large and small yellow croaker head-to-head mane, which was carried out for a period of time in spring and autumn every year.

As Hongyang City gradually became a metropolis, the city began to rely on industry, transportation and even tourism to develop, fishery production gradually entered the transformation of production and industry and declined, the head-on mane of this kind of folk customs evaluation activities became more and more diluted and simplified, in the 21st century, directly disappeared, no fishermen to participate in this kind of activities, let alone a unit to organize.

The reason why I mentioned this very old fisherman's custom today is because there have been wax mane activities before, which are opened once a year at the end of the year, and the big guy goes back for the New Year after commenting on the mane.

The speaker had no intention of listening, Ao Mudong and Ao Daodao and others chatted casually and didn't say anything, but Ao Muyang was moved, and said: "The traditional activities of our fishermen are becoming less and less, these activities are all intangible cultural heritage, we should find a way to preserve them, just say that this head-on mane, what an interesting custom, right? If it is done again, it will definitely be energetic." ”

Ao Daodao said: "What's so exciting? How many fishing boats are there on the sea now? And how many fish can be caught? Besides, there is no unit to organize, in the past, the county party committee took the lead, there were rewards, and the big guys were enthusiastic. ”

As he spoke, he shook his head.

It is not difficult to find an organizational unit, Ao Muyang can talk to Dai Zongxi, and the Red Ocean Ocean and Fisheries Bureau will take the lead. However, Ao Dao said a problem, now there are few fish in the sea, even fewer in the offshore water, and the resources of large and small yellow croakers are almost extinct, and there are indeed not many fishermen who are still interested in participating in such activities.
