The fishing boat is also a busy scene.

Li Yonglin was in charge of driving the boat.

Zhang Jianjun and Master Wei, along with a crew member, are inspecting the various equipment on the fishing boat to ensure that it is running smoothly.

Li Yongmin, with a few crew members, was on deck to inspect the trawl for the last time. This inspection is very detailed, including the rope on the trawl, the net board, the float, the lead sinker, etc., which is also the final preparation for the net.

The others are not idle, arranging the fishing nets, sorting the crab pots.

I have to say that the things on Boss Zhang's fishing boat are really very complete, and there are three commonly used trawls on the fishing boat, and several sticky nets and more than 200 large crab pots.

These crab pots are much larger than the previous crab pots of Li Xiaofeng's house, which are specially used for deep-sea crab fishing.

So after they took over the fishing boat, there was basically no need to add any fishing equipment to the boat for the time being.

Li Xiaofeng was ostensibly staring at the sonar and fish finder on the fishing boat, but in fact he was staring at the map, looking for targets to drop the net.

The fish detection equipment on the fishing boat is divided into two directions: horizontal and vertical.

The one responsible for detecting fish horizontally is sonar.

To a fishing boat, sonar is like the eyes of a fishing boat.

It will react the sonar waves to the display in the wheelhouse of the fishing boat, so that the fishing boat can know the surrounding fish.

However, the range of this kind of sonar detection is not very large, and it can generally detect the situation within two or three kilometers of the surroundings, and this is already relatively advanced, and the smaller ones can only detect the surrounding situation of a few hundred meters.

Of course, there are also high-power sonars with a relatively long detection range, but that is not a configuration that civilian fishing boats can afford.

In order to pinpoint the fish, many fishing vessels are equipped with a lower power sonar to detect fish up close and assist in net release operations.

The sonar on their fishing boats can also detect schools of fish in the surrounding area of four to five hundred meters.

If sonar is the eye of a fishing boat, then a vertical fish finder is like a "magnifying glass" for a fishing boat. It is used to detect the exact depth of the fish, as well as the size of the longitudinal height of the fish, so as to adjust the depth of the net in the water in time.

However, this vertical fish finder can generally show the range of fish and the size of the fish, but not the weight and number of specific fish.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng felt that if he wanted to get a bumper harvest in this Zhonghai and the far sea, he had to rely on his own map.

In addition, it should be said that although Li Xiaofeng is exercising the captain's rights, the actual registered captain of this fishing boat is not him, but his father Li Yonglin.

This is mainly because Li Xiaofeng did not stay on the fishing boat for a long time, and it would only take more than 40 days to get off the boat, and he would get off the boat in less than 50 days.

But obviously, whether it is his father Li Yonglin, or Zhang Jianjun and Li Yongmin, they all know that whether this fishing boat can get a bumper harvest like its name depends on his nephew.

So they have no problem with Li Xiaofeng exercising the rights of the captain, not to mention that Li Yonglin is also used to listening to his son's command in the usual fishing process.

As for the crew on the ship, the three owners didn't think there was a problem, and they didn't care who was the captain, as long as they could make money, they didn't care who was the captain.

Li Xiaofeng, who was staring at the map, had to say in his heart that the farther away from the coastline, the richer the resources. As the boat drove farther away, the more fish species and quantities he showed on his map.

No, he had just spotted several eastern star spots in a sea area.

He was looking for him offshore, but he never caught it.

But unfortunately, although the eastern star grouper is very valuable, but the number is too small, such a large fishing boat is not as small as the previous boat, it is impossible to change the course for these fish to go to the net.

So far, he has found a lot of resources, but most of them are too small, too scattered, or not worth much.

Of course, there are valuable fish, but the topography of the seabed is not suitable.

Not all terrain on the seabed is suitable for trawling.

Generally, muddy and sandy sea areas are more suitable for trawling, if there are reefs and reefs under the seabed, it is likely to hang on to the trawl, and under the pull of the forward power of the fishing boat, the fishing net will be torn directly.

Of course, there are also bottom trawls with pulleys or hooks underneath that can overcome some of this terrain. But this kind of fishing net is too destructive to the environment of the seabed, and it has been banned by the state, and Li Xiaofeng and the others will certainly not use this kind of netting secretly.

Another reason is that Li Xiaofeng always thinks that this is their first net, and there must be a good omen! So he always wanted to pull some valuable goods, so he never notified him to go to the net, and continued to look for a suitable target for the net.

The fishing boat continued to sail forward, and by this time the fishing boat had been at sea for more than six hours.

Li Xiaofeng, who had never found a suitable target, couldn't help but slowly become a little anxious, but Li Yonglin, who was driving the boat next to him, was quite calm.

After more than half an hour, Li Xiaofeng suddenly said: "Dad, you adjust the direction of the fishing boat, the left rudder is fifteen degrees, and continue to drive forward." ”

Li Yonglin nodded and adjusted the direction of the fishing boat.

The fishing boat continued to drive at an economic speed for more than 20 minutes, and Li Xiaofeng turned on the radio on the boat and announced: "Everyone on the fishing boat pay attention, get ready, we will start to lay the net immediately!" ”

Hearing this, everyone on the fishing boat couldn't help cheering, and everyone was a little anxious that they hadn't been netted for such a long time.

Everyone immediately took their positions, and people stood on both sides of the trawl and on both sides of the stern slipway to prevent the nets from getting knotted and tangled together when the net was lowered.

Li Yongmin also stood next to the electric net rolling machine, ready to press its switch at any time.

Another five minutes passed, and Li Xiaofeng announced on the radio: "Start going to the Internet now!" ”

When Li Xiaoming and Li Xiaoliang heard this, they immediately threw their nets into the sea.

After seeing the net being thrown into the sea, Li Yongmin immediately pressed the switch, and the net winding machine began to turn, and the huge trawl net, like a long green snake, meandered forward, and the fishing net slowly slid across the deck, and finally slid into the water.

The people standing on both sides of the net were also engrossed in looking at the trawl being launched, ready to adjust the net at any time.

In this process, you must pay attention to the safety of your feet, once you are dragged by the fishing net, it is very likely to be dragged directly into the sea by the fishing net.

Underwater fishing nets, due to the drag of fishing boats and the resistance of the seawater, slowly open underwater, like an open parachute, and finally form a spindle-shaped shape under the water.

Finally, the mouth of the trawl, under the action of the water divider, opened a huge angle to both sides, like a large open mouth, and swallowed everything in its path.
