Chapter 321: The Land of Great Fortune
The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier. The pelagic fishing boats that catch king crabs have begun to appear in the snow and wind, and ice has begun to appear on the sea.
Song Feiyun and Sun Qin were both a little secretly speechless. This kind of weather is definitely not a joke, and it is impossible to encounter such weather in China. But looking at Xie Fang's appearance, the weather in the Bering Strait is used to time and space, and catching king crabs in such a place is indeed a very harsh environment.
"The natural environment of the Bering Strait is really harsh, but we are used to it."
Xie Fang knew that Song Feiyun and Sun Qin were not used to such weather, after all, they had never encountered one without experience in this area. This is actually quite normal, and catching king crabs, especially in the Bering Strait, is known as one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. In fact, every year, someone dies in the sea for catching king crabs.
Song Feiyun looked at the sea of the Bering Strait in front of him, and his heart became more determined, catching king crabs or forming a fleet to catch king crabs must use experienced people Shi Tiezhu or Li Erniu, although they have fishing experience, but they do not have full experience in catching king crabs in the Bering Strait, if they have to come here to catch king crabs, it is very likely that they will not adapt to the water and soil. Professional things are left to professional people. Although the size of the fishing boat for king crab is relatively large, in fact this type of fishing boat is not the same as ordinary pelagic fishing boats, which are huge and large in large water tanks to feed the king crabs caught. There are not many people working on the fishing boats, no more than ten people combined. This means that there is a high probability that your original plan will not work, or that it will not be necessary at all.
Seinfeld made up his mind to find a time to discuss this matter with Sun Qinhao.
Xie Fang didn't know what was going on in Song Feiyun's mind right now, her attention was focused on whether the batch of crab pots she had put down again could catch the king crabs, and after pulling the last cage, she immediately drove the fishing boat back to the first place where the crab pots were placed. Seeing that the time had passed for less than three hours and less than four hours, I was a little impatient and immediately began to pull the cage.
Xie Fang watched the rotation of the foot disc for two minutes, and his heart immediately cooled, the king crab that has been caught for many years, especially since he was a child, has followed the people in his family to go out to sea to fish, and the net cable is very experienced, and he doesn't need to pull out the water from the cage at all to know what's going on. There are definitely not many king crabs in the cage, and there is a good chance that there will be no king crabs.
Xie Fang turned his head to look at Seinfeld.
How do you know?
Not only do you know what kind of place in the sea is the king crab, but you also know exactly when the king crab disappears. You must know that when you last pulled the cage, the cage was full of king crabs, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to catch the king crabs if you continue to put the crab pots, especially when you go through the fishing boat, you can clearly see that there are king crabs on the bottom of the sea at that time.
"Hehehe!"
"It's not surprising at all."
"We all know very well that the king crabs on the ocean floor are constantly migrating, and that the migration of these king crabs follows the currents. The faster the currents flow, the faster these king crabs will migrate, and if there is not enough speed of the currents, the king crabs will stop somewhere. ”
"In the beginning, we were able to catch a lot of king crabs here, and the key was the king crabs here, and the speed of the ocean currents was very slow at that time, and the migration rate of these king crabs was very slow."
"But just a few hours ago, the speed of the currents on the bottom of this sea was accelerating, and now it is very fast."
"These king crabs have run away somewhere else."
Seinfeld could see the bottom of the sea and knew exactly what was going on. The king crab has run to another place, it is not here at all, and the cage is soaked in the place where the king crab was originally caught, and it is useless. This is the fundamental reason why these crab pots that Xie Fang put into the sea on his last trip could not catch king crabs.
"How do you know?"
Xie Fang was shocked. Seinfeld had already said this when he put down the last batch of crab pots, but he didn't believe it, but now it turns out that Seinfeld was right, these king crabs have gone somewhere else. When catching king crabs, it is true that such a scene is often encountered, but the vast majority of people who catch king crabs can only make their own choices, as long as there are enough king crabs in the cage pulled up in one place, they will immediately put down the new cage, and only when these cages are pulled up and there are not enough king crabs will they change places, but Seinfeld is different, long before putting down the last batch of cages, he already knows that there are no king crabs in the sea. Knowing in advance or being able to make judgments in advance can save a lot of time, for example, if you pull up the last batch of cages, it will take at least three or four hours, or even five or six hours, and if the weather is bad, it will take longer. If this time is spent elsewhere, such as looking for the next king crab in another sea, it means that the most king crabs can be caught in the shortest amount of time.
"All kinds of conditions in the sea change very quickly, but you can make accurate judgments by the various waves on the surface of the sea, or some other clues."
"But it's very difficult to get to the bottom of this."
Seinfeld shook his head. It's not that I don't want to say it, but this matter is absolutely unclear, I don't really look like what I just said, through various judgments on the sea, but I can see the golden silk cloud formed by the gathering of fish, shrimp and crabs in the sea.
Xie Fang didn't continue to ask, no matter how Song Feiyun saw it, this was a big secret, Song Feiyun wouldn't tell where he came from, and he couldn't break the casserole to ask to the end.
Xie Fang spent the next few hours constantly pulling up one crab pot after another, and the facts proved his judgment wrong again and again, and Seinfeld was right, there were not a few king crabs in these crab pots at all.
Xie Fang was very shocked, one or two crab pots were not as reasonable as king crabs, but there were more than a hundred crab pots that he put down, and few crab pots could catch king crabs, so he couldn't be convinced.
Xie Fang pulled up the last empty crab pot and immediately asked Seinfeld what kind of place to catch king crabs now.
Seinfeld told Xie Fang to drive fifty nautical miles further, where there was a school of king crabs, and it was very likely that a large number of king crabs could be caught in that place.
Xie Fang did not hesitate at all this time, and immediately led the other four fishing boats that caught king crabs to sail directly forward for fifty nautical miles.
"Huh?!"
"How can there be so many king crabs here? Could it be that the king crabs we originally caught migrated here?! ”
Xie Fang was very surprised, the signal of the fishing boat's fish scouting was very dense and very strong, and at first glance, he knew that there were more king crabs on the bottom of the sea than those that were caught before, and this place was not particularly far from the place where the king crabs were originally caught, only fifty nautical miles, it may be like this.
Song Feiyun nodded, some of the king crabs did migrate from the original sea area, but more importantly, the king crabs from several other places gathered here.
"Huh?!"
"Could it be that this place can catch a lot of king crabs all the time?!"
Xie Fang immediately thought of this.
Song Feiyun smiled and nodded, this is indeed the case, in this place in front of him, it is only possible to catch a large number of king crabs all the time.
"Huh?!"
"Why is this the case?"
Sun Qin was not surprised that Seinfeld was able to find such a place, curious about why this place was able to catch a large number of king crabs without stopping.
Song Feiyun told Sun Qin, and at the same time, he also told Xie Fang that there were several currents in the sea in front of him, and the ocean currents converged to form a special sea area with a diameter of about thirty nautical miles that could catch king crabs. During this season, all the king crabs migrate along the current, and if the currents converge in such a place, the crab groups of these king crabs will converge in this place. But there is not enough food in this place in front of you, and there will only be a large number of king crabs in a short period of time, and once you can't find anything to eat, you must have to run to other places, and you must catch a large number of king crabs in the shortest possible time, and the more places you catch, the more king crabs may appear here.
Xie Fang immediately began to put the crab pots, this time the density of the crab pots is very high, five fishing boats, hundreds of cages, immediately put into the sea area of 30 nautical miles, every few hundred meters is a crab pot.
Xie Fang put all the crab pots, the weather was very cold, but a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on the river, the diameter of thirty nautical miles, the sea area was full of king crabs, and he immediately started to work, especially in a short period of time, putting so many crab pots in it is a physical work, not to mention that the current weather in the Bering Strait is really bad, and driving a fishing boat must be energetic.
"Boss."
"I've never done anything so crazy!"
Xie Fang's eyes widened, looking at the sea with wind and snow. In such a narrow sea, there are five fishing boats that catch king crabs, and all the cages are lowered to the bottom of the sea. If there were not an insane number of king crabs in the sea, it would not only be as simple as losing money, but also losing a lot of money. If he had gone to sea to catch king crabs at the beginning, he would not have believed what Seinfeld said, but this past catch of king crabs Seinfeld proved that he was indeed able to make accurate judgments.
"Hah!"
"Don't worry about that!"
"There are more king crabs in the sea than you think."
"For the next ten days or so, and possibly for the next month, we'll be catching king crabs here."
Seinfeld was very sure, he could see how many king crabs there were in the sea, and the key was that these king crabs in the sea were gathering from all directions.
The pelagic fishing boats that catch king crabs are very efficient in fishing, so many cages are put in the sea, there is no problem at all, and even the number is a little small, and the speed of catching king crabs is simply not as fast as the speed at which these king crabs gather from all directions.
"Huh?!"
"Are there so many king crabs here?!"
Xie Fang was taken aback. Will you be able to catch king crabs here for the next month? You must know that your fleet now has five fishing boats that catch king crabs. It's crazy to be able to catch king crabs here for a month.
Seinfeld smiled and didn't say anything, Xie Fang must have been very surprised now, and couldn't even believe that he could catch so many king crabs here. But this is the case, the key is that the sea area in front of you is different from the sea area where the king crab was caught before, although the sea area is the place where the ocean current passes, but it is just a pass, and the sea area in front of you is the place where the drum current meets. King crabs will stop in places like this. The only reason for leaving was that there was not enough food, but now the people themselves are frantically catching king crabs here, and the number of king crabs is controlled to a certain extent. Although there is a shortage of food, it will not be short enough to cause the crab herds of these king crabs to migrate to other places, at least not in a short period of time.
It doesn't matter if you don't believe it.
For the next month, Xie Fang and the entire fleet were caught here to know what was going on.
"Xie Fang."
"There must be enough king crabs in the sea."
"The crux of the matter now is that in this area in front of you, will there be other fishing boats catching king crabs passing by?!"
Sun Qin reminded Xie Fang. These places that Seinfeld found must be able to catch king crabs, and they can catch king crabs in large quantities, and if you can catch king crabs here for a month, you must be able to catch king crabs here for a month, such a fishing location is definitely very valuable, if there are often other fishing boats that catch king crabs passing by in this area in front of you, you must be cautious. Otherwise, once other fishing boats discover this place, the loss will be huge, which is one thing that these people must pay attention to now.
