Chapter 039, Fish
Although the people of the Maritime Supervision Bureau will come out to patrol the sea every day, they will never go out to sea 24 hours a day, so many fishermen will occasionally go out to sea at night to secretly drag a net, and some harvest can make the family live a stable life.
It's just that the danger of going out to fish at night is very great, for example, there will be strong winds and waves, you will lose your way, you will encounter mist, and you may also hit the reef, or even the boat will be destroyed and people will die, so the fishermen's food is not so delicious.
Liu Zhibin controlled the small fishing boat, drew a large circle on the sea, and sailed towards the Feiyu Bay that Long Hai said. Feiyu Bay is more than 20 kilometers away from the small fishing village, and there is a desert island nearby, with an area of about two or three square kilometers, but because there are no trees and no water sources, it is just a place for fishermen to go out to sea to rest, and no one wants to live on it.
This deserted island is called Flying Fish Island, which resembles a bend of the moon and forms a natural bay, and every year in July and August, it is a natural fishing ground for small fishing villages and some surrounding fishing villages, and you can see schools of fish flying out of the sea.
Half an hour later, the small fishing boat of the Long family went around in one direction and sailed from the county seat, and the black shadow of Flying Fish Island appeared on the sea that began to dim in front of it, as if a giant beast in the sea showed its cyan back.
Liu Zhibin controlled the fishing boat and circled around Feiyu Island, there were no maritime surveillance boats on the surrounding sea, and there were no other fishing boats, and the whole sea began to dim, only the twinkling stars in the sky, and the sound of waves rattled, and then the noisy sound of diesel engines.
"Xiaohai, do we want to take a look at the net, there is no maritime surveillance ship coming out tonight, it is a good opportunity to go to the net." At this moment, Long Shan and Liu Zhibin were a little uncontrollable.
"Don't be busy, it's still early, no one knows if the maritime surveillance ship will come out? And the sound of our diesel engine is so loud, I'm afraid you can hear it from afar. Let's first reduce the speed to minimize the sound of the diesel engine, and then slowly circle around Flying Fish Island a few times to observe and observe. ”
Long Hai used his divine sense to scan under the surface of the sea, and within a radius of hundreds of meters, no big fish were found under the sea surface tens of meters deep, so he thought about it and said to the eldest brother, and the excuse of observation prevented them from getting off the net in a hurry.
"Xiaohai is right, let's not panic and go to the net, wait and see." Brother-in-law Liu Zhibin has always been more convinced by Long Hai's words, and immediately reduced the measurement of the engine to a minimum, and the sound gradually became quieter, and finally only a gentle sudden sound remained.
The three of them sat on the fishing boat and slowly circled around Flying Fish Island, each circle took more than ten minutes, and the circle around it was still increasing, but they did not leave Flying Fish Island, because they were far away and had no reference, and it was very likely that they would lose their way.
Long Hai remained silent, only listening to the eldest brother and brother-in-law whispering beside him, and he used his divine sense to constantly scan the situation within hundreds of meters below the sea surface where the fishing boat passed, looking for schools of fish passing by.
Almost an hour later, Long Hai finally found a school of fish under the sea in the distance, and it was close to nine o'clock at this time, and the moon had risen from the sea, turning the surrounding sea surface for more than ten miles as if it were day, and it could be seen that there were no ships on the sea in the distance.
"Brother-in-law, go over there, I seem to have found a school of fish under the surface of the sea."
Long Hai pointed in the direction of the fish, and the small fishing boat suddenly turned around and began to speed up to chase after it. As the distance shortened, Long Hai finally clearly glanced at this school of fish, which turned out to be a group of very precious small yellow croaker.
Long Hai's heart couldn't help but get excited, the price of small yellow croaker is not cheap, this kind of natural small yellow croaker born in the sea, even if it is sold wholesale, it will cost 200 yuan a catty.
And now they have encountered a group of small yellow croaker, which can be dragged up by 1,800 catties in a casual net, which is more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, which is basically the income of an ordinary fisherman's family during the entire fishing season.
"It's in this position, under the big-eyed trawl, let's not want those small ones."
Long Hai pointed to a position, Liu Zhibin immediately slowed down the speed of the fishing boat, and Long Shan immediately operated the trawl to slowly lower the sea from the tail slipway.
The fishing boats of the Long family use single-boat trawl fishing, in the form of tail trawling, while using sleeve trawls, and mainly operate in the middle and bottom layers, so they can only operate in the offshore waters.
The front end of the net sleeve of the sleeve trawl is equipped with 1 net plate each, and when the net is dragged forward, the net plate produces an expansion force under the action of water flow, which can make the net open horizontally.
During the operation, the fishing boat moves slowly and releases the net from the tail slipway, connects the net plate to the trolling platform and separates it from the two net plate frames. Then the fishing boat moved forward quickly and gradually released the two trolling.
When the towing is released to a predetermined length, the fishing vessel moves forward according to the predetermined towing direction and towing speed. The length of the trolling is generally 3~5 times the water depth. The trawl speed is generally 3~5 knots per hour.
Compared to the past, today's fishing boats are more advanced and do not need to rely entirely on manpower to operate, so it is enough to have about three people on a small fishing boat, otherwise it will take at least seven or eight people to carry out the operation.
A few minutes later, a small big-eyed trawl slid all out of the tail slipway into the sea, and opened open under the action of floats and sinkers above and below, like a huge mouth, quickly encircling the fish.
The nets they lay were the ones with the largest meshes, and they could only catch large fish of more than two catties. The medium eye net can net more than a pound of fish, if it is a thin eye net, it is not even one or two heavy small fish and shrimp will not let go.
The speed of the fishing boat slowly increased, and it caught up in the direction pointed out by Long Hai. Twenty minutes later, the three of them clearly felt that the fishing boat had become heavier, and the speed had gradually decreased, and it was obvious that quite a few fish had been caught up and caught in the net.
"Hahaha, Xiaohai, you can see it accurately, there are really schools of fish in this place, it seems that there will be a big harvest tonight." Yongsan laughed.
"Yes, yes, according to the speed at which the fishing boat is descending, it is estimated that there can be thousands of catties of fish in this net. It's a great thing that our family hasn't had such a harvest for a long time. Liu Zhibin also laughed excitedly.
At this time, they did not know that the net below was a small yellow croaker, and if they did, they would probably jump into the sea with joy. And the reason why they are happy is because even if the net is an ordinary sea fish, it costs twenty or thirty yuan a catty, so a thousand catties can be sold for twenty or thirty thousand yuan.
