On the morning of the second day, he was going to go to sea to test the water, Ye Yaodong checked a few baskets of fishing lines before going to bed, and the previous damage was also repaired well, each hook was neatly hung on the edge of the bamboo basket, and the fishing lines were also coiled well, and he went to sleep after there was no problem.

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, the fishing boat was pushed into the water under the joint efforts of everyone, and then the firecrackers crackled on the pier, and one string after another were released, and Ye Yaodong and Ye's father were beaming with joy on their faces.

Buying a boat is no less trivial than building a house for fishermen, and the villagers around the wharf came forward to congratulate them, and kept praising Ye Yaodong with good words......

Father Ye also felt honored, his whole face was red, whose son could afford a 17-meter boat at a young age? It's not all about following Lao Tzu.

Mother Ye helped Lin Xiuqing pick a load of sugar cakes to come to the dock, and gave a piece to the friends who set off the firecrackers, and everyone had a share of the relatives and friends who sent the firecrackers.

The affairs on the shore were handled with the help of Ye's mother, and Ye Yaodong and Ye's father set sail directly to the sea after setting off the firecrackers.

Although I haven't gone to sea until now, and the time is a little tight, it doesn't matter, today is just to test the water, first find a suitable sea area to put a hook.

Father Ye only watched Ye Yaodong drive the boat the whole time, and by the way, he took the small fish left by Ye Yaodong yesterday and chopped it, and hung the hook as bait after chopping, he was already rich enough, and it was Ye Yaodong who needed to be experienced, and driving more boats could also improve the sense of direction.

1,000 hooks, ten baskets on the boat, this bait is also a time-consuming work, fortunately his fishing lines are arranged by someone, saving a lot of things.

When Ye Yaodong drove the boat to the target sea area, his father's bait had not yet been hung up, he was afraid that the number of small shrimps was limited, and it was not enough to be used as bait, so he prepared a lot of small fish to use as bait.

The small fish in the basin were cut all over the place, and Father Ye quickly interspersed with a fishing hook with his hands and feet, and Ye Yaodong also helped together.

When it's almost time to hang up, then let his father slow down and drive the boat, probably the same speed as a trawl.

The boat puts down the hooks one by one while driving, and then ties the buoy rope and the sunken stone rope, and throws a basket of hooks into the sea, and then puts a stone at the last end of the hook, and then throws the last buoy down, this buoy is for positioning.

Longline fishing is divided into the difference between floating longline and bottom longline.

Floats used for longline fishing, in the shape of wooden balls or long rods.

The amount of float to use depends on the purpose of fishing.

If you want to fish for bottom fish, if the tackle has to sink to the bottom, you don't need to use floats, just use hooks and strings as identification marks.

To fish for mid-level fish, the float should ensure that the tackle can be suspended in the middle of the water.

When fishing for upper fish, you need more floats.

He's been fishing for bottom fish along the coast, and now when he comes to the offshore waters, he wants to try what he can catch in mid-level longlining.

Experience is all accumulated through trial and error.

When it was all done, he washed his hands with water and stood up to look at the sea.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw a huge fish floating on the sea in the distance.

He shouted at his father, "Daddy!"

Father Ye turned his head to look at him for some reason.

Ye Yaodong pointed his finger in the direction of the big fish, "Look over there, let's drive the boat over and take a look, that floating object seems to be a fish."

….

Father Ye looked in the direction of his finger, and also saw the big white fish floating on the sea in the distance to the east, thinking that he had finished releasing the rope, and he was idle, so it was good to go and see.

As a result, as soon as the father and son approached, they were shocked.

"Fish cake?!"

"Sunfish!"

The fish cake in front was said by Ye's father, and the sunfish was said by Ye Yaodong.

Hokkien tube sunfish is called fish cake.

"Damn, why is it so big?"

Father Ye's heart jumped, this fish is unlucky, fortunately they didn't catch it, they just saw it, it's okay.

Ye Yaodong was curious to lie on the side of the boat, and carefully observed it, "Dad, this one is so big, it should be more than two meters, I guess it should be."

It should weigh a ton."

"Well, there should be, stay away from it, this fish is unlucky."

They fishermen rely on the sea to eat, with a lot of exquisiteness, is to eat will not eat sunfish, for them, catch sunfish represents bad luck, as long as they catch must be released to keep safe.

If you don't believe in evil and don't release it, if you use it for food, you will hit the evil at any time, and it is likely to cost your life, of course, there are places to believe, and there are places where you don't believe in evil.

People on the other side of Wanwan like to eat sunfish, because the skin is thick and the bones are less meaty, they mainly eat its intestines, the famous dish "fried dragon intestines" is based on the intestines of sunfish.

Their local villagers are very believing in evil, no matter how expensive and valuable they are, they will not catch them, and the first time they catch a sunfish is to release them, which is superstition to put it bluntly.

What you want to go to sea is peace.

In some places, fishermen are more immoral, so they cut off the fins of the sunfish and release them into the water, because they think that the sunfish has no value at all, but simply wastes their bait and is an abominable thief.

These finned sunfish completely lose their ability to swim in the water and can only slowly die.

The sunfish is like a flat oval as a whole, with a short body and fat sides. The caudal fin is vestigial, with only dorsal and anal fins, and it is well developed.

From a distance, the sunfish seems to have only a big head and a small tail, so in some places the sunfish is also called a head fish.

The name sunfish is actually the name of the bay, because fishermen often see them lying on the surface of the sea to bask in the sun, like an overturned car.

But the color of the sunfish is not very good-looking, if you want to correspond to a model in the car, then this car may be a garbage truck.

At this time, it should be lying on the sea surface to bask in the sun, it especially likes to bask in the sun, so it is also called sunfish abroad.

It is also called moonshine fish, because the sunfish can secrete a special substance that can heal other creatures on the seabed, so it can be said that it is the "doctor of the sea".

Many fish species often surround it, including some small fish that are capable of emitting light. These fish swim together with the sunfish, looking like a glowing moon through the water.

Both father and son felt that it was very unfortunate to encounter this fish, although it was very large, very rare to look at, and could be sold for money, but it could not change the fact that it was a sunfish.

The two of them were not ready to touch it, and it was not easy for this fish to grow so big.

….

They were about to sail out of the sea to avoid the sunfish, but they saw another sea lion suddenly appear in the sea, and then the two stopped moving.

I saw that the sea lion was smaller than the sunfish, but it was extremely fierce and directly bit the fins of the sunfish, gnawing and devouring, but the sunfish was stupid and neither fought back nor ran away, motionless and let the seals gnaw.

Suddenly, two more sea lions appeared on the surface of the sea, gnawing together, and the sunfish still didn't move, and the father and son looked anxious for it.

"This ***! No wonder he is called the head of the three fools of land, sea and air."

Father Ye looked at him inexplicably, "What is the head of the three fools of the sea, land and air?"

"You don't understand, and if I tell you, it's nothing."

Father Ye frowned angrily, is this the attitude of talking to Lao Tzu?

"Oh, look, look, that ......."

Father Ye was immediately diverted again.

I saw that a white figure was thrown up on the sea not far away, the water waves were rippling and rolling, and one after another a white figure was thrown out of the sea, like a flying saucer.

The father and son also saw clearly, the sunfish that were thrown into the air like flying saucers were all sunfish, and the seabirds flying in the sky also saw the opportunity to gallop down to peck at food, gathering more and more.

In the distance, a large number of sea lions threw the small sunfish into the air, and after teasing them, they continued to attack the 2-meter-long sunfish in front of them.

The sunfish was gnawed like a flatbread by them, and still didn't know how to resist or escape, so they watched themselves being slowly attacked by sea lions

Tearing and devouring, it has become their buffet.

The intelligence of the sunfish is too low, and it may not realize that it is going to die, after all, it has a large physique brain of about two meters but weighs only 6g.

It's also notoriously silly big.

Immediately after that, the sea lion gnawed and dragged it to the depths of the sea, probably because it was too big to throw it into the air, so it was dragged into the sea.

Normally, the sea lions will throw the sunfish into the air, so that the seagulls can also feast on it, just like the father and son just saw, and several "flying saucers" fly in the sky.

The waves on the sea surface gradually became smaller, and the sea lions also dived into the sea, Ye Yaodong felt that it was a pity, if it was another fish, he would definitely find a way to drag it up.

It's not easy for this fish to grow so big, I heard that it will take decades to grow such a big individual, and it actually *** motionless *** and fell off.

"It's a bit unlucky, the boat just ran into a sunfish on the first day." Father Ye is still quite superstitious, and his heart is quite distant.

"We didn't catch it? What's unlucky? It's the first time I've seen such a big sunfish, but unfortunately, if it were to be called a different name, I would have to drag it up."

Father Ye glanced at him fiercely, "What nonsense? What we go to sea to ask for is peace, and when we hear its name, everyone wants to hide away."

"That's why I said it would be nice to have a different name."

"Don't spend all day wondering what you have......

Ye Yaodong shrugged, his father is so boring, he can't even think about it!

"Dongzi, it will take at least an hour or two for this row of hooks to be put into the sea, and the middle time is too delayed, go back and ask your mother to help weave a net, and you can also trawl the net in the surrounding sea in the free time in the middle. Or get some crab pots and shrimp pots and catch them together, which is a little more efficient."

Ye Yaodong also thinks so, the shortcomings of longline fishing are like this, the time between them is idle in space, unlike trawling, which needs to be driven on the sea all the time.

This free time is best used to increase efficiency.

"Okay, I'll take some time to buy materials for my mother to help weave a net, and it's not good to go to other places to make a net for the time being, and I'll go to Ah Zheng when I go back at night, and borrow the one in his hand first, and use it for a few days."

"You can do it."

Ye Yaodong used to put a row of hooks along the coast, and he could still go to Ah Zhengna to talk around, and occasionally catch a few rods, but now he can only catch a few rods to pass the time.

Yesterday he moved everything from the small boat to the big boat, and the improvised fishing rod was also there.

Father Ye saw that he took out the simple fishing rod, and the corners of his mouth twitched, so he wanted to say that dogs can't change eating......

I'm all out to sea, and I still want to play!

Ye Yaodong: Wronged~

Although his broken fishing rod is simple, he can also fish and make money!

Some people can catch fish with only a line and a hook.
