Chapter 70 Purse Seine Fishing I
The next morning, the two families were united.
Li Xiaofeng and Li Yonglin worked together to help carry the long purse seine to Li Yongmin's boat.
Such a large purse seine is piled on the deck like a hill bag.
Li Yongmin's fishing boat has relatively large horsepower and complete equipment, and it can be regarded as the main force of the purse seine net this time.
There are also many fishermen on the wharf who feel strange and come to watch.
In recent years, due to environmental pollution and overfishing, there are fewer and fewer fish, and it is rare to see fishermen using this large-scale purse seine fishing method in offshore waters.
Emotions were also high in both families.
Especially the third grandfather, Li Deyong, is full of energy, quite a bit of an old man chatting about the appearance of a teenager, directing the two families who have little experience in seine netting how to place seine nets.
Purse seine operation is indeed a relatively complex operation that requires a certain amount of experience.
This not only requires that when the net is lowered, the net cannot be stirred together, but also the two boats need to cooperate well, so Li Yonglin and Li Yongmin also went to borrow a pair of walkie-talkies in the morning.
Everything that should be prepared has been prepared, Li Xiaofeng drove the boat with Li Yonglin and Liu Xuexia, and Li Yongmin drove the boat with the old man and Wang Yufen, and the two boats sailed out of the fish port together.
Now it's up to Li Xiaofeng's performance to see if he can find a suitable school of fish, and he also has to avoid the area where others have netted.
This time is different from the way Li Xiaofeng fished before.
Whether it's longline fishing, crab pots, sticky nets, eel fishing, or fishing, it can only be regarded as a way to wait for rabbits, and this time it is time to take the initiative!
The ship has been at sea for almost two hours, and Li Xiaofeng has not yet found a suitable target on the map.
The schools of fish found were either too small or had drift nets laid by others on the way.
If the purse seine nets are lowered, the fishing nets will be swept away all the way that the fishing boats tow them.
So there was no way, Li Xiaofeng could only continue to drive farther away.
Li Yonglin next to him gradually became a little anxious.
After driving for two hours, he didn't get off the net, he wanted to help the third family, if he couldn't find any fish, this oil money was terrible!
Although the third child won't blame him, he feels shameless.
So he couldn't help but ask: "Fengcub, it's been more than two hours, can't you go to the net?" ”
Li Xiaofeng glanced at Li Yonglin and said with a smile: "Dad, I really haven't met a suitable place along the way, don't worry!" ”
Li Yonglin looked at his son, and he was also very helpless, so he could only light a cigarette and smoke it next to him.
At the same time, a conversation is taking place on another fishing boat.
Wang Yufen looked at the fishing boat that was still moving forward in front of her, and couldn't help but say to Li Yongmin: "Our boat has been running for so long, and Feng Cub hasn't sent a signal to get out of the net, why don't you ask him how long he will drive forward?" ”
Li Yongmin glanced at her and said, "Since you have decided to go to the net with Fengcub and their family, then you can relax." Besides, do you think my nephew is a simple person? ”
Wang Yufen glared at Li Yongmin and said, "What do you mean by this, I just want you to ask when Feng Cub will go off the net, is there any problem?" Besides, I have watched this child grow up since I was a child, and he is quite an honest child, what is not simple? ”
Li Yongmin said to her with a smile: "You also know what the situation of the second brother's family was in the past, which is a little worse than the current situation of our family. Look at how long this nephew of mine has only been back, and now? Not to mention that in our village it is the only scorpion, it is also the top one. As far as we know, their family has sold mackerel, big dragon grouper, blue melon seeds, cucumber fish, so what else we don't know? They often take a boat to the town and come back after selling the fish! Now who in the village does not envy his family in private! ”
Wang Yufen couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and said, "If you don't say it, I really didn't notice it before." Hearing you say this, this kid is really not ordinary! ”
Li Deyong, who was sorting out the fishing nets, also heard the conversation between the two people and said: "Feng cub, I have watched this child since he was a child, and he can climb into the pig's nest for so long when he was a child and be unharmed!" Follow him, and you'll definitely make money! ”
Hearing the words of her husband and father-in-law, Wang Yufen also felt that what they said made sense, so she calmed down.
In this way, the fishing boat drove forward for more than half an hour, and the sea became more and more blue.
Li Xiaofeng finally found a goal that satisfied him, began to gradually stop the boat, picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Third uncle, third uncle, pay attention, wait for your boat to come to me, we are ready to go to the net!" ”
Li Yongmin, who received the message, was also very happy, and said into the walkie-talkie: "Received, received, I'll lean over immediately!" ”
In this way, the two ships were carefully docked side by side at sea and secured.
After the boat was parked, Li Yongmin, Li Deyong and Wang Yufen handed over one end of the seine net, and after Li Xiaofeng and Li Yonglin took it, they were busy for a while before they carefully hung the seine on the boat.
On the other side, Li Yongmin and the three of them also hung up the other end of the fishing net.
Li Xiaofeng's fishing boat only needs to be responsible for pulling the net and running for a while, and the other fishing boat will undoubtedly have a much heavier task, they will be responsible for watching the fishing net go down into the sea, and if the purse seine net is mixed up in the process, they must immediately untie the net and lay it out.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaofeng said to Li Yonglin: "Dad, you go to the third uncle's boat to help!" When the nets are rolled out in a while, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep busy! ”
Li Yonglin glanced at the three people on the other fishing boat and felt that it made sense, so he climbed along the side of the boat to the other boat.
The three people on the boat saw him coming and understood what he meant.
In this way, after confirming that everything was ready, Li Yonglin and Li Yongmin untied the two ships that had just been fixed together.
Li Xiaofeng started the boat and began to drive away from Li Yongmin's fishing boat.
Li Deyong, Li Yonglin, and Li Yongmin cautiously stared at the seine net, which had a place where it was stirred together, and they had to quickly untie it and spread it out. Otherwise, when the fish is fenced, there will be a big gap, and finally the bamboo basket will be empty.
When untying the net, be careful not to be brought down by the net under your feet, otherwise the whole person may be dragged into the sea.
At the same time, Li Yongmin, who was holding a walkie-talkie, also had a task, that is, to inform Li Xiaofeng on another fishing boat at any time that there was still a length of purse seine nets.
"1000 meters to go, 800 meters to go, 600 meters to ......"
When Li Xiaofeng heard that the fishing net was still 500 meters away, he began to slow down the boat.
