Chapter 186: It's New Year's Day

I made a few small fish in Zhongsha, followed to Nansha, made a detour and returned to Zhongsha, and then returned to the northern part of the South China Sea Basin.

To find a large school of tuna, patience is required.

I haven't found a big school of fish for a long time, and something is wrong with my mentality.

Chen Yuan adjusted his mentality, and regarded it as a sea vacation.

In order to save oil, the rest of the time is during the day, and the rest at night is about 10 hours a day.

Now Chen Yuan doesn't dislike the small fish school.

Sometimes, at night, when the sea area is hedged by ocean currents, there are few fish and they are scattered, so they use the ship's lights to gather the fish at night and then release the net.

In this case, if you go online for two or three days, although you still can't make ends meet, you can make some money.

Soon it was the end of the month, and Chen Yuan and the others were back on the northeastern edge of the South China Sea Basin.

There are still fish here, and the occasional tuna.

The fish here are scattered, and the tuna is especially scattered. After finding a place with many biological signals, Chen Yuan and the others stopped the boat, waited for the lights to gather the fish at night, and then lowered the net.

Now the Shinkai has become an auxiliary ship, with its headlights on at night.

Luo Lao No. 4 and Shengyuan stopped outside, waiting for one or two o'clock in the middle of the night to get a net.

Early the next morning, when I got up, I saw Luo Lao No. 4 approaching the Xinhai.

Chen Yuan stood on the deck and moved his body, looking at the boatman opposite: "Did you get a big cargo?"

"A bluefin tuna, more than a hundred pounds." The other side responded.

Waiting for the two fishing boats to get closer, Chen Yuan shouted Zhou Sheng, they had great strength and went over to carry the tuna over.

"This tuna is okay." Lifting the tuna to the freezer, Zhou Shengdao.

"Unfortunately, there is only one." Chen Yuan shrugged.

"At least 10,000 yuan."

Chen Yuan smiled: "It's the 29th today, I don't know if Yuanxing 55 has been done."

"Give Shin Shin a call."

Last night, Lin Xinhai got a tuna, and hundreds of catties of trash fish. The rest of the fish didn't need Chen Yuan and them to carry it, so they went back and got the satellite phone and called Chen Xin: "Hey."

"Huh?"

"Are you free today?"

"Free."

"Go to the yacht yard and see if the Far Star 55 is ready."

"Okay, I'll come over later. Did you find a tuna?"

"That's for sure, today was another day." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Come on."

"Alright, you can go over and take a look, and then give me a call."

"Okay."

About ten days ago, Chen Xin went to the yacht yard to see it, and at that time the Far Star 55 was doing painting.

The yacht had to be painted in several layers, and there was still the last coat of paint.

At noon, Chen Xin called: "What's the matter?" Five

"We're installing the power system of the fishing boat." Chen Xin said: "It is estimated that it will be delivered in another ten days."

The powertrain consists of three V10 engines, as well as a control system.

"Where's the interior?"

"It's still being renovated. Custom-made wooden decks, beds, and so on. The shipyard said that it will be tested after it is done, and it will be completed from the 15th to the 23rd of next month."

"Okay. The money is with you, and you can help you run it when the time comes."

"Okay."

This trip has not been out until now, and there is no big gain.

Yuanxing 55 is about to be delivered, and Chen Yuan's money is enough for the final payment. To give the fishing boat to the household, Chen Yuan and they also had to borrow money from Lin Xinhai.

I told Lin Xinhai about this, when the time comes, if you ask for money, you will get it directly from your wife.

Today, I looked for the sea where two small currents meet, but I didn't find any fish.

Workers on fishing boats, sleeping, playing cards. Or just drink and brag...... All kinds of boring time.

In the evening, Chen Yuan and they boarded

The Shinkai moved its chairs to the back deck and watched the sunset.

Lin Xinhai took the melon seeds and came out: "When will the Yuanxing 55 be delivered?"

"Next month, before the 23rd. The exact time has not yet been set." Chen Yuan took the melon seeds handed by Lin Xinhai.

"It's New Year's Day soon, do you want to go back and rest for two days?" Lin Xinhai asked.

"Go back now?" Zhou Sheng turned his head: "What if the tuna comes these days?"

Lin Xinhai shrugged: "I took a look here, and it seems that we are the only fishing boat in this sea area that specializes in rounding up tuna."

It's December, a good time to fish for tuna in the South China Sea.

From December to May, it is relatively easy to catch tuna in the South China Sea.

But tuna fishing and purse seine tuna are two different concepts.

Large schools of tuna are hard to find at any given time.

"Keep going." Chen Yuandao.

"Aren't you going back to spend time with your girlfriend?"

Chen Yuan wanted to go back, but now that he is back, he is afraid that he will miss the tuna.

After eating, Chen Yuan took the satellite phone and called Yan Xiaoxi: "Hey."

"Yes."

"How many days off do you have on New Year's Day?"

"Three days. Can you come back?"

"Can't go back. This trip is still at a loss for ......."

"Didn't you find a tuna before, why did you still lose money?"

Chen Yuan exhaled: "I ran around in the previous time, and the fuel was used very much."

"It's okay, we can call every day now." Yan Xiaoxi said, "When are you going to have a holiday?"

"I don't know." Chen Yuan said: "Anyway, I will definitely rest before the New Year."

Yan Xiaoxi said "um": "Pay attention to safety at sea, take care of your body, don't be too tired."

Chen Yuan smiled, "Okay. So are you."

After chatting for a long time, Zhou Sheng came over as soon as he hung up the phone: "Use it for me."

Chen Yuan threw the phone to Zhou Sheng, and Zhou Sheng dialed Chen Xin's number with a smile: "Hey, Xinxin......

In the next two days, Lin Xinhai and Luo Laosi walked around the fishing boat slowly.

Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng still drove fishing boats, patrolling a large area in the northeast of the basin.

Nothing was found for two days, and then it was New Year's Day.

Yesterday I sold fish, frozen fish, several tons, a total of more than 60,000 yuan. There were five tuna, which were sold for more than 20,000 yuan. One of them, the largest bluefin tuna, sold for 11,000.

Selling fish, by the way, got some supplies.

On this day of New Year's Day.

In the morning, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng still went out to look for fish, and after four o'clock in the afternoon, they met Lin Xinhai and them, and got on the boat to make a hearty dinner.

It's January.

Four months have passed since the fishing moratorium.

At this time, offshore fishing boats are mostly concentrated in Nansha and Xisha. The fishing boats that are still operating today are basically fighting a protracted war. Sea fishing is sold at sea.

Or, now this time period has been closed.

There are no fish, too few fish.

To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of resources.

After the opening of the sea, trawlers can be seen everywhere in the waters of the continental shelf. The main fishing grounds, light lure, gillnets......

The gillnets in the open sea are also powerful, and a boat can casually make a gillnet of several kilometers of gillnets.
