Chapter 276: No more bait
One hundred kilometers, that is, more than fifty nautical miles.
Chen Yuan drove the fishing boat and came to the phalanx in more than an hour.
There were no other fishing boats in sight around the Phalanx.
It's really a dense array, and I don't love anyone who comes.
The phalanx is equivalent to a large artificial fish collection device, and all the surrounding fish converge here.
The phalanx covers an area of more than 10 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a large fish collection device. In the sea where the fish feel safe, and there is food, the fish come and don't want to leave. Or can't walk......
Four fishing boats outside the phalanx worked day and night.
Collect the rope and put the rope.
Lin Xinhai and the others had just finished collecting a rope and were releasing the rope, and the fishing boat was stationary.
"Master." Chen Yuan took the walkie-talkie and shouted.
"Yes." Lin Xinhai replied.
"We came back with some vegetables and fruits, put a basket down." Chen Yuandao.
"Howler." Lin Xinhai said with a smile.
"What vegetables?" Luo Laosi asked.
"None of us?" Takaga said.
"How much is the vegetables here, help us get some." Qian Degui.
"Both." Chen Yuan said, "In addition to vegetables, each fishing boat can also get a sheep."
"Hahaha...... OK. Are the vegetables and lamb expensive here?"
"When converted into RMB, it is about three times more expensive than in China." Chen Yuan said.
The exchange rate between the Chinese yuan and the Australian dollar is 1 to 4.8.
The main local currency is the Australian dollar, which is more expensive than the domestic dollar in terms of price. After all, this is a small island country, and on the small island they went to, there are very few vegetables grown, and there are more than a dozen sheep.
There is no way, the area of the island is too small, and there is even less land to grow vegetables.
Vegetables are expensive here, but seafood is cheap.
"It's okay to triple it, it's all green leafy vegetables." Takaga said.
"It's all green leafy vegetables."
There were some green leaf vegetables and some tomatoes, but there were not many, only enough for Chen Yuan and them to eat.
At sea, it is not easy to eat a meal of fresh vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables. Vegetables are more expensive than meat, this is the norm.
Chen Yuan parked the fishing boat next to the fishing boat and looked at Zhou Sheng: "Go and cut a sheep's hind leg down."
"Okay." Zhou Sheng smiled and went to the freezer.
Xu Laosan, Liu Laoer, they went to the back deck, waited for the plastic basket to be hoisted down, and then loaded the vegetables on.
Two baskets of vegetables in a boat, two bunches of bananas.
A large bunch of bananas has dozens of catties. However, these bananas are not ripe and will have to be left for a while before they can be eaten.
Two baskets of vegetables, two bunches of bananas, and a sheep without a retreat. The goat breed is quite large, dozens of pounds in size.
"Master." Waiting for everything to be hoisted up, Chen Yuan shouted.
"What are you doing?"
"The sheep's water is still in the belly, and you let the cook handle it." Chen Yuan said.
"Okay."
"I'll send them to ......."
"Okay."
The next boat was Zhao Hai's fishing boat, their fishing boat was reeling in the rope, and Chen Yuan happened to see them catching tuna when he passed.
A tuna of more than 100 catties, two people, pulled it together.
"Lao Zhao, can you free up manpower?" Chen Yuan said on the walkie-talkie.
"Yes."
"Come and receive the vegetables."
After that, Zhou Sheng cut off a hind leg for each of the sheep that was sent.
The vegetables were delivered next to each other, and it was almost noon.
Xu Laosan and Liu Laoer returned to the fishing boat, and Chen Yuan also parked the fishing boat next to their fishing boat and started to make lunch.
At noon, make a tomato egg soup and blanch some vegetables.
After lunch, Chen Yuan went back to the cabin to take a nap.
Now I have nothing to do, so I'm idle. If you go to the fishing boat, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng can't help very much.
As soon as I slept until three o'clock, I vaguely heard a commotion outside, so I got up from the bed, washed my face, and went outside.
Zhou Sheng was cooking fish, with a flamboyant smile on his face.
He Fei and Yang Xun were standing next to him, and He Fei was already holding an iron hook in his hand.
"What a fish." Chen Yuan asked.
"Swordfish." Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "The kind that is hundreds of catties."
Sailfish have more power than tuna, and they are more enjoyable to catch.
Zhou Sheng held the rod with both hands and pulled with the swordfish for a while, after the swordfish came out of the water, Chen Yuan took the iron hook and accurately hooked the swordfish's back...... He Fei also took an iron hook, hooked the tail of the fish, Zhou Sheng dropped the fishing rod, took He Fei's iron hook, and dragged the swordfish up with Chen Yuan.
This swordfish, if you count the jaw sword, is estimated to be 3.5 meters, and it is a rare big swordfish.
If you catch such a big sailfish, you can blow it for a lifetime.
Zhou Sheng caught this fish and was also very excited.
This is an ordinary swordfish, with a very long body and a weight of ...... It is estimated that it should only be more than 300 catties. This fish is quite skinny......
Xu Laosan stood on the deck of the fishing boat, looked over here, and shouted, "Cowhide."
"Sprinkler of water, little meaning." Zhou Sheng replied with a smile.
"Do you catch a lot of fish on your boat?" Chen Yuan looked at Xu Laosan.
"Many. But it's all bonito, white fish." Xu Laosandao.
"Those worthless fish are used as bait when they are used, and if there are many of them, they are thrown into the sea." Chen Yuandao.
"The bait is not enough, and Lao Gao just now told us to put a rope to catch small fish." Xu Laosan said, "Zhou Sheng said you were sleeping, so we didn't move."
Chen Yuan gestured OK: "Then when we clean up, start releasing the hook."
"Okay."
Zhou Sheng instructed Yang Xun on how they should let their blood and how to deal with this big fish.
Just deal with it briefly, and then ask Xu Laosan's fishing boat to put the crane down, lift the fish, and get them on the boat by the way.
It's past five o'clock when I'm done.
Xu Laosan started the fishing boat, adjusted the position, and Chen Yuan dragged the dry rope to release the hook.
Xu Laosan put a rope on his side, more than 1,000 meters, and hung more than 2,000 hooks.
Liu Lao Er also put a rope on his side, which is also more than 1,000 meters, and it is still more than 2,000 fish hooks.
There are many fish in the phalanx, especially bonito and white fish, which are all pelagic fish. After nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Yuan and the others helped Xu Laosan and them to put away another set of fish hooks, and then went to sleep.
Two strings, almost 5,000 hooks, and I estimated that there were 2,000 fish. I don't have to say anything about the catch rate, but those fish are not valuable, they are all bait fish.
There are about 5,000 hooks, and within 10 meters of the fishing depth, not a single tuna has been hit.
It's over.
Chen Yuan was about to wash up and go to bed, when Liu Laoer's voice came from the radio: "Xinhai, Lao Gao, do you want to come over and rest for a few days."
"Wait for tomorrow." Lin Xinhai said, "Tomorrow will be a shift change. Is the island fun?"
"Usually. It's not easy to play, it's not easy to play......
"You want to go play for two days, too?" Xu Laosan said with a smile.
"I'm a little tired during this time, so I'll play for two days and take a break." Lin Xinhai smiled and said, "Rest for a few days and relax."
Takaga said, "I want to go too."
