Zhang Ze came to the side to eat the noodles he cooked, and Jin Fan and the others went to the living water tank to get some fish and stew it.

Jin Sanbao looked at the lively fish with a puzzled expression: "The living water tank of the big ship is so easy to use?" After a night, the fish were still alive, and our little wooden boat was still alive and kicking up for a few hours. ”

Seeing this, Jin Fan sighed: "Sure enough, I still have to work hard to make money to get a good boat, and the price of this live fish is at least twice as high as that of dead fish." ”

Chen Xudong nodded approvingly beside him.

A few people didn't know that Zhang Ze, who was eating noodles, had been snickering in his heart, if he hadn't put the fish in the space to regain his vitality, the fish in the living water tank would have died by tomorrow.

Although there were aquatic aeration machines in this era, they were basically used in fish ponds, and it cost a lot of money to build one on the boat.

Zhang Ze had space, so he didn't spend this unjust money.

It wasn't until the 90s that it was relatively popular, and it was estimated that some civilian fishing boats would also be equipped with small ones.

After lunch and a little rest, a few people came out to hang bait on the longline.

There were six longlines hung this time, so even if there were four people busy, it would have taken several hours.

Seeing that the time was already four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ze set off to prepare to release the longline.

The location here is not to be missed, with two longlines for shallow water fishing just right.

With Jin Sanbao and a few people there, Zhang Ze didn't need to go back and forth in the stern wheelhouse repeatedly, as long as he drove the boat, the other three people could put the longline away.

To be honest, he did have the idea of asking two or three people for help at this moment, but he quickly dispelled the idea.

There are a few more people on the boat, so it is more convenient when the longline is released, but the rest of the time it is a restriction for him.

After the longline was put away in the trench, Zhang Ze left here and began to look for other suitable fishing spots nearby.

During this period, he also encountered many small fishing boats, and also encountered the coast guard stationed on the island to come and check on them.

Suddenly there is such a big ship fishing near the island, who knows if it is a spy or something, pretending to be and then looking for an opportunity to spy on the military.

In fact, the Duo Fish was noticed shortly after it arrived yesterday, but they were fishing quietly, and the coast guard on the island did not rush to come to patrol, so they paid attention to it all night.

Seeing that they seemed to have come to fish, the coast guard went out to find out about them and confirmed their identities.

Zhang Ze and the others were very cooperative, and he also knew that such a situation would occur.

An unfamiliar fishing boat appeared near the island where there was a garrison, and it was normal to be inspected.

After the inspection, Zhang Ze continued to look for fishing spots nearby.

Soon, he found a good fishing spot with a depth of about 120 meters on the fish finder, and then put two more longlines down.

As for the longline with the thickest line that can be fished 200 meters deep, Zhang Ze did not put it down.

Because there is no such deep water near the island, if you leave this side and go to another place, the longline here may not be secretly collected by other fishermen, not to mention that the fish will be gone, and even the longline will be taken away.

So after collecting the four longlines at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ze went to find the deep-water area, put down the longline and fished for deep-sea fish by the way, and waited until the next morning to get up the longline and go home.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the longline began to be reeled.

Zhang Ze parked the boat and came to the stern, Jin Sanbao had already started the winch and began to pull the longline up.

As soon as Jin Fan picked up the strand that was exposed to the water, Chen Xudong next to him immediately squeezed him away: "I'll come, I'll come, I have to see how much I have gained from this longline." ”

"I lost it, there must be a lot of goods if the line is so heavy, you hurry up and return the fishing line to me!" How could Jin Fan, who was squeezed out, be willing to snatch back immediately.

As soon as he pulled the line, he knew that there was a big deal, and he was thinking about a good start, but he was robbed.

Jin Sanbao was also itchy and joined in, saying that he was the oldest and should come.

"Enough of you, get four longlines, one for each of them?" Zhang Ze laughedly snatched the strand from them and quickly pulled the fish up, and then let them toss the fish and run away.

When Jin Sanbao and the others saw him come out, they all showed sneering expressions.

But after listening to his words, I also felt good, the four longlines just happened to be able to be used by everyone, and there was no need to grab them.

At this time, Jin Fan had an idea, and suddenly proposed: "Aze, why don't we take a gamble?" ”

"Bet?" Zhang Ze frowned. The other two also looked at him suspiciously, after all, he usually doesn't gamble, how could he suddenly have such a proposal.

Jin Fan knew that they were thinking too much as soon as he saw their expressions, but he didn't explain, but continued: "In this way, each of us has a longline, whoever catches the least longline fish, then who will have a meal after going back, how about it?" ”

Hearing the proposal, including Zhang Ze, several people's eyes lit up, which was a bit interesting.

The fish caught by Jin Sanbao and the others on this trip to sea belonged to themselves, and if they waited for a few hours at night and waited on the longline, they would sell the fish after they went back, and each person could earn at least forty or fifty.

With this money, even the golden three treasures with poor family conditions can afford it, get some seafood, buy some meat and snacks, and it won't cost a few dollars to burn it at home.

In terms of wine, except for Zhang Ze, the other three people all have some rice wine brewed at home, and they don't need to buy it.

Jin Fan saw that several people agreed, so he continued: "The first longline is Aze's, and the next three are our rock-paper-scissors, how about the winner choose first?" ”

Jin Sanbao and Chen Xudong had no opinion when they heard this, and then rock-paper-scissors determined the person to be selected first.

Chen Xudong was lucky to win first, and then Jin Sanbao won Jin Fan.

"Then I'll pick the next one!" Chen Xudong said.

It's hard to say how the two longlines that fish for deep-sea fish will be harvested, but the chances of catching a longline in shallow water are greater, after all, there are trenches at the bottom of the water, and schools of fish often come over.

Jin Sanbao and Jin Fan could only reluctantly choose two longlines for fishing deep-sea fish.

Zhang Ze didn't care about them either, because the first fish was unexpectedly a little heavy, and the struggle was particularly strong, which made his heart full of anticipation.

With such a big force, it shouldn't be a large grouper of forty or fifty pounds!

With the force of his hands, he cooperated with the winch to pull the rope up little by little, and the fish on the hook quickly surfaced, and struggled even harder.

However, after seeing the fish clearly through the lights on the boat, Zhang Ze's face collapsed, and it turned out to be a bonito.

Big is really big, but the price of this thing is cheap.

The meat of tuna and bonito decays very quickly, and it is not easy to preserve in this age, so they will be used to make fish floss or dried fish, and the price is not high.

After the fish was completely brought closer, a few people really saw the type of fish and determined that it was a big bonito.

Seeing that Zhang Ze's face changed from excitement at the beginning to expressionless now, Jin Fan next to him couldn't help but smile: "Aze, it's actually not bad, this big bonito has forty or fifty catties, even if it is cheap, it can be sold for a lot of money." ”

"Alas, this fish likes to be in a bunch, and I'm afraid it will be all this kind of fish later." Zhang Ze sighed and said.

Jin Fan smiled awkwardly and said nothing, everyone who went out to sea knew that bonito did like to move in groups, and there were extremely large numbers.

The first bonito was dragged up by Jin Sanbao and Chen Xudong, and then helped to bleed, and after dealing with it, Zhang Ze suddenly thought that he had to collect the fish space to gain experience points, so he handed over the matter of rewinding the line to Jin Sanbao.

I used a small bamboo cart specially customized to push the fish to the side of the refrigerator cabin, and then carried it in and put it away.

At this time, the fish was actually barely alive, and he took the opportunity to collect it and gain experience points before taking it out.

The bonito experience is higher than he expected, with seven points.

When he came to the stern of the boat again, when he saw that Jin Sanbao was pulling hard, he knew that there was a high probability that this was still a bonito.

There is a difference between the price of bonito bloodletting and no bloodletting, although it can be much lighter after bloodletting, the meat will not be contaminated by blood, and there will be no fishy smell.

If you get it to the aquatic product station, you can sell it for a dime or eighty-one catty, and if you don't have a good bloodletting, the price may only be five or six cents.

Although Zhang Ze doesn't like bonito, and thinks that the price is low and it's not easy to pull, but the number is really large, one after another, don't want to envy a few people next to you.

Especially Jin Fan and Jin Sanbao, the two of them looked crotched, knowing that this time there was a high probability that one of the two of them would be treated.

So Chen Xudong is quite happy, although the fish is not his, but the longline he chose is here, Zhang Ze's longline bonito has so many longlines, it makes no sense that there will be less another one in the same position.

As Jin Sambo slowly retracted his strands, other fish appeared in the bonito school, such as his favorite grouper.

It's a pity that his luck seems to be very average at the moment, and all the bargains that appear in groupers such as oblique grouper, green spotted grouper, and gentian grouper appear.

The only good thing is a big tiger grouper in his early twenties, but this fish is only of the middle grade. It seems that next time you want those rat spots, blue melon seeds, eastern star groupers, etc., you still have to find coral reefs.

After a longline was closed, Chen Xudong next to him also made statistics: "Aze, you have caught a total of four hundred and seven fish on this longline, what a big catch!" ”

Jin Sanbao and Jin Fan immediately gasped when they heard this: "A thousand hooks catch four hundred fish, is it really fake?" ”

Chen Xudong glanced at them angrily: "I'm counting one by one, do you really mean it?" ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but smack his tongue: "This ratio is indeed exaggerated, I heard others say that a thousand hooks can catch a hundred fish is considered very good." ”

Zhang Ze said with a smile: "It's better to find this fishing spot, the trench is often full of fish, and it's not surprising that there are many fish." ”

Jin Sanbao and the others all nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.

Then they pulled the second longline up, this time it became Chen Xudong who received the line, Jin Fan and Jin Sanbao counted the number and helped on the side, and the matter of transporting bloodletting was still Zhang Ze.

The second one may be a little off-grain, and the harvest gap is a bit large, only three hundred and seven fish.

But there are still a lot of them, and a third of them are bonito, about the same proportion as the first longline.

When several people saw so many bonito, they thought that it was the bonito that increased the number of harvests, but they didn't know that the real reason for such a large harvest was that someone opened the hook.

Of course, the school of bonito came just right, after all, Zhang Ze usually uses ordinary bait, but the number of harvests is basically between 200 and 300.

Today, the reefer is filled with bloodlet bonito and other fish that are difficult to feed.

"It feels like we're going to lose!" The fishing boat began to move towards the location of the other two longlines, and Jin Fan and Jin Sambao stood outside to blow the wind, sighing and saying.

"If you lose, you lose, isn't it just a treat to dinner! Today, one of us will please, and next time it will be the turn of the other person. "Jin Sanbao is very open-minded.

Originally, Zhang Ze didn't come, and this was the case for the three of them.

There are a lot of catches at sea, and some of the ones that are not sold are concentrated in a few of them, and then go to someone's house to drink together, which is basically the case in the village.

The position of the two longlines behind is not far away, and the distance is about 200 meters.

Because Zhang Ze's fishing boat is nearby, no fishermen on the island dare to steal it.

This time, Jin Sanbao went first, after all, he won Jin Fan.

The winch pulled slowly, and he pulled the strand back.

With this pull, he felt very heavy, and he felt that he had caught an oversized fish.

His face was happy, and he was a little excited. Although the fish is not their own, the joy of catching a big fish is shared.

Just pulling and pulling, he felt that something was wrong, why didn't the fish have the feeling and strength to struggle.

It wasn't until the line was completely pulled back that he could see what he had caught.

“.” Jin Sanbao was not good when he saw a fishing net wrapped in a ball of aquatic plants and kelp on the surface of the water, "It's really unlucky, I thought I had caught a big fish." ”

Jin Fan gloated: "It's still a big fish, it's good to have something for you." ”

Jin Sanbao rolled his eyes: "With such a net, maybe there are several fish hidden in it?" I'm fishing for these! ”

"I'm losing!" Jin Fan was suddenly shocked, thinking that there might be a lot of fish hidden in this net, he was also numb.

Then Jin Sanbao pulled up the bundle of fishing nets that were rolled up, and with a click, a small stone Jiugong fell on the deck.

He laughed: "It's already one." ”

Zhang Ze smiled and picked up the fish and threw it into the bucket next to him: "You continue to pull the fishing line, I'll open the fishing net for you to see if there are any fish." ”

"Good!" Jin Sanbao nodded and continued to work.

Zhang Ze went to take the scissors, cut the fishing net directly, and cleaned up the seaweed on it by the way.

Fortunately, there is no plastic waste in this era, otherwise this fishing net is estimated to be entangled a lot.

After cleaning up some aquatic plants and kelp, Zhang Ze really found a few fish, but these fish had already died, and their bodies were very damaged by fishing nets, emitting a foul smell.

He threw the aquatic weeds, kelp and these dead fish directly into the sea, unraveling them, and the sudden movement caught his attention.

Zhang Ze pulled the kelp away, and immediately saw a long-tailed sea bream with its head entangled at the edge, although the fish is not big, about 30 centimeters in length, but this is the first high-value deep-sea fish he has encountered so far!

He immediately cut the fishing net with scissors, grabbed the fish and said with a smile: "Sanbao, you are lucky, one hook and two fish!" ”

"I'm lost, isn't this a long-tailed bird? Can it all be there? Several other people were shocked when they saw the fish, the long-tailed sea bream is a rare deep-sea fish, usually the big ship of the open sea has returned, everyone can see some, the real number is rare.
