The three were side by side, and it was obvious that the two behind them were not as small as the first, and they were a full circle smaller.

He used a flashlight to shine back and forth, and the size of the two behind him was about one meter two or three according to his eyesight, and there should be sixty or seventy pounds.

There was one with a bulging belly, and he thought it must have just swallowed the tern, and before it could be digested, he went to the corner and brought a knife over, intending to bleed it.

Father Ye was very happy, "These three together are more than two hundred catties, this small fish is not worth much, but such a big one is quite valuable."

"Well, it should be worth a few dozen dollars, there are these three, and I have earned it on this trip today."

Ye Yaodong skillfully bled it, and Father Ye was not in a hurry to drive the boat, but watched him move from the side and was very pleased.

The sophistication of the third child during this period of time made him feel that he was an experienced old fisherman, and he had really grown up.

Sure enough, some men will grow up later.

After watching it for a while, after he finished processing a fish, Father Ye went to pick up all the black mullet next to him into the basket.

These mullet are of different sizes, but the smallest one is more than a catty, and one or two of them are relatively large, and they should be five catties.

Also known as aconitum fish, the mullet has a bluish-gray back of its body and is darker in color. The abdomen is silvery-white and has a lot of color, and there are some black patches on their bodies.

The period around the beginning of winter every year is the fattest time for the mullet, and it is also the most active time of the year.

Father Ye said while picking it up: "These black mullets also have dozens of catties, and they are lucky."

"Well, just after the beginning of winter, there must be a lot of this fish. I'm almost ready, Dad, go sail a little further, I'll go down the sticky net."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong finished processing the three ox harbor trevally at hand and put them in the basket, and then went to the cabin to get the sticky net.

They never let go of the sticky net, but if they didn't, it doesn't mean they don't know.

In winter, because of the low temperature, most of the fish are inactive, and they basically stay at the bottom of the water, and do not often forage, so it is difficult to catch fish, and some fishermen in the village will make sticky nets to catch them. Probably how to put it, they still know.

After Father Ye drove the boat out of a long distance, Ye Yaodong shouted at him, "Dad, it's here."

The wind on the boat was strong, coupled with the sound of the machine, he had to be louder, and Father Ye immediately slowed down and stopped the boat when he heard it.

The lower sticky net is different from the trawl net, you can't put the net while driving the boat, but you have to put the net in still water or slow water, otherwise the net is easy to be washed away, and you need to go deeper, so as to reach the dense position of the bottom fish.

And when the net is lowered, it is necessary to follow the order of the floating head, one float after another, and it cannot be offside, otherwise it is easy to get entangled when the net is closed, and the net will be wasted.

Ye Yaodong threw down the buoy after finishing the net, and this will be collected after the return trip.

If you use it once and then reuse it, you need to close the net, wash it, tie it in the same way as it was when you first made it, and dry it in the sun before you can reuse it.

There are a lot of impurities in the water, and if you don't wash it, it is easy for all kinds of weeds to corrode the net.

This sticky net is a bit laborious, so it is only in winter that people in the village put it.

Otherwise, whoever is full of food and supports it will go out every day to put a net, collect a net, take it back and wash it and dry it for a day, and only then can it continue to be used.

Generally, people put sticky nets, and they are all incidental, unless you put sticky nets specially, and there is no special sticky net in this village.

Then he took out the trawl net, and there was no waste of time, and he could barely drag a net while waiting for the longline to be reeled.

In order to work hard to make money, he also worked hard.

After Father Ye saw that he had finished putting the sticky net, he started the boat again.

The father and son have a relationship because of the cooperation during this time

It's a lot better, and there is a bit of tacit understanding, one by one to open the boat and the other to release the net, in an orderly manner.

At this time, the sky was already bright, but the sun was blocked by thick clouds, and there was no sunrise over the sea to see today.

However, at eight o'clock, the sun came out of the heavy clouds, and the dazzling sunlight shone on the sea, making it seem that the entire sea level was golden and shining, and today was a good day with warm sunshine.

Ye Yaodong looked at the time and felt that it was almost time to get the net, so he went to collect the net, and Ye's father also slowed down the speed of the boat to let it move slowly, and went to help drag the net from the tail slipway to the deck.

The heavy net, under the joint efforts of the father and son, was dragged directly to the deck.

"It's a mullet."

"It's flood season, isn't it? At this time of year, mullet is also the most numerous."

Father Ye was a little happy, they liked to drag the fish to the top of the net, and the same kind of fish was dragged to a large number, which was better than dragging a bunch of miscellaneous fish.

"It should be."

This whole net of seventy or eighty catties is black mullet, and the receipt is not bad.

Ye Yaodong fiddled with the fish pile at will, in addition to the black mullet, there were some herring fish, "Dad, if the bait is not enough later, take the herring fish to cut."

"Yes, I know."

"Huh?"

He fiddled with the fish, but out of it came a peculiar pattern, its whole body was densely covered with dark brown dots, and its abdomen was spotless.

"Grouper?" Father Ye said uncertainly, but it was really spotted on its body, and it looked quite similar to a grouper.

"No, it should be a thick-lipped stone bass, it's almost two pounds heavy, so let's pick it up separately first."

"Yes, yes, this is a thick-lipped perch." Father Ye also came back to his senses after he said it.

Whether it is a valuable good fish, you can generally know by looking at the patterns on the body, and these fish either have different patterns or are super average.

Stone bass will be a little more expensive than ordinary fish, not as rare as grouper, but the price of tiger grouper should not be much different, this one should be able to sell for three or four yuan.

Ye Yaodong asked his father to sort out the fish goods, he went to drive the boat, and it had been about three or four hours since the hook was put down, and it was time to collect a wave.

Just as he was about to sail to the surface of the sea where the longline was casting, he saw a silver ribbon appear on the sea in front of him.

He thought he had seen it wrong, and when he looked closely, it did seem like a silver ribbon was swaying on the surface of the sea.

"Dad, come over here."

He drove the boat to the silver ribbon, and called his father to come and have a look.

"What's going on?"

"Look at the sea over there."

Father Ye's eyes widened suddenly, "What's that? How did you move there for a long time?"

"I don't know, that's why I asked you to come and have a look."

"Come along and have a look."

"Well, it's pretty fast, it's so long, I don't know what it is." Ye Yaodong frowned.

Father Ye craned his neck and still couldn't understand, "What kind of garbage? It looks like a ribbon, with a little red on top of it."

"It's just like if it's fabric, it's floating on the surface of the sea, and it can still swing in the water. It looks a bit like a sea serpent, but it's a little longer."

The ocean is so wonderful, there are all kinds of magical things, and I don't know what it is?

He followed the long "ribbon" not far away, and did not increase his horsepower to catch up, after all, it was an unknown thing, what if he got too close to attack the fishing boat.

And he saw that it was drifting towards a small island in front of him, and planned to follow it to see if it was going to the island over there.

The fishing boat moved at a constant speed, but gradually narrowed the distance, and the speed of the "ribbon" fluttering slowed down, and the island on the opposite side was getting closer and closer.

When the fishing boat approached the island, the father and son clearly saw the looming figure on the shallow beach.

"Hairtail?"

"Emperor Ribbon Fish!"

The father and son spoke in unison, the former sentence was said by Ye's father, and the latter sentence was said by Ye Yaodong.

Both were stunned!

It's actually the emperor ribbon fish?

"! This horse is the king's ribbon fish!"

Father Ye said excitedly: "It's the emperor with fish, Dongzi, go to the island and dock!"

Needless to say, his father also knew to dock on the island first.

This island is quite high, and now it is in a state of low tide, and some of the beaches have come out, and when the fishing boat is close to the island, most of the body of the emperor ribbon fish has been on the beach.

", it's so ......long," Father Ye couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Ye Yaodong watched this imperial ribbon fish being washed directly onto the beach by the seawater, and only half of his body was still swinging in the water, and he couldn't help licking his lips.

He came up with the nickname of the emperor hairtail fish, which is also called the earthquake fish, because it is only when there is an undersea earthquake that this deep-sea fish is frightened and swims up to the shallow waters for refuge.

Some say that it is because every time the fish appears, there is an earthquake or tsunami in the area.

Some people call it the dragon king fish, the dragon palace messenger, etc., in fact, its real scientific name is called Le's emperor ribbon fish.

"I'll dock the boat first."

In just a few moments, almost the entire body of this royal ribbon fish had washed up on the beach and was stranded.

Father Ye didn't wait for the boat to dock, so he climbed down from the boat first and walked to the beach with the water.

Ye Yaodong parked the boat and followed closely, and he didn't care about the dense juvenile shells growing on the surrounding stone walls.

Take a closer look, its body length is even more shocking, only to see that the body of this emperor ribbon fish is huge, about four or five meters, the outside is bright silver, the head is like a horse's head, the pelvic fin is red, the dorsal fin is also red, and it grows from the top of the head, like a tassel.

It looks very similar to a regular hairtail, with a flat body, which at first glance looks like a shiny silver ribbon, except that one is oversized and the other is small.

At this moment, although it is stranded, its tail is still wagging occasionally, and it seems that it has taken in less air and exhaled more.

"Dad, have you ever heard of the Imperial Ribbon Fish?"

Father Ye frowned, "I heard that the appearance of the Emperor Ribbon Fish also means that an earthquake or tsunami is coming."
