The fleet departed from Heron Island and traveled for about five hours to reach the squid fishing ground.

In his previous life, Li Duoyu also came to this fishing ground several times, and the locals called this fishing ground Minnan Fishing Ground.

Many boats from southern Fujian, as well as fishing boats from Nanao Island, will go to this fishing ground to operate.

Looking at the two small islands in front of him, which were full of cliffs, Li Duoyu didn't need to look at the map to know where they were.

Dongshan Island, Brother Island.

It is not only rich in fishery resources, but also a very important shipping route, because of the middle route, all domestic fishing boats and transport ships that want to go north must pass through this route.

However, this route is not easy to follow, because there are many reefs near Brother Island, and it is said that there are at least 30 shipwrecks near these two Brother Islands, and many of them are cargo ships that used to go to the South Seas.

After arriving at the squid fishing place, the head chef Lao Zhuang made dinner, and everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they smelled the aroma of pork rib soup.

"It's time to eat."

Lao Zhuang knocked on the iron basin.

Immediately afterwards, everyone took out their enamel basins and lined up to go to Lao Zhuang to receive food.

They all squatted on the deck to eat, and Chen Liang, who hadn't eaten meat for more than a month, couldn't wait to learn from the dog to bite all the bones.

"Grass, these ribs are fucking delicious."

By this time, the sky had almost darkened, and the setting sun had completely set into the sea, and the sea instantly became black, and the sky turned blue.

After dinner.

The crew began to help install the searchlights.

Large glass lamps were hung on both sides of the fishing boat, and when the lights were turned on, they were very dazzling, so that everyone couldn't open their eyes.

And just as they turned on the searchlights, there were many lights on the dark sea at about the same time.

Only then did everyone know that there were so many squid fishing boats in the nearby waters.

Not long after the searchlights were turned on, there were many "light fish" gathered around the ship.

Fishermen generally refer to these phototaxis fish as light fish.

"Damn, it's Balang."

After seeing the Balang fish, everyone looked disgusted, and when it came to this fish, it was not the bigger the better.

Not to mention, the big bus wave fish is not easy to dry, and the taste is not as good as the small bus wave fish.

Generally, the mature fish is dried and sold to the mainland, but the fresh Balang fish is fried and delicious, but it is very fuel-consuming, and many fishermen are reluctant to eat it like that.

In such a fishing ground, the fish finder of the Li Duoyu fishing boat is basically useless, because there are many small fish in this fishing ground.

As soon as the fish finder was opened, it was all densely packed with dots, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a squid or a barang fish.

If you want to catch squid, it is very simple, that is, just change the spot and continue to turn on the light to attract fish.

After the fleet changed locations.

The boat lights were turned on again.

About ten minutes later, another school of fish gathered, this time not a baranga, but a lighted fish smaller than the baranga.

The locals call it Sister-in-law.

It is a kind of marine fish that is cheaper than the Balang fish, and because of the fishy smell, no one even asks for a fishing rod.

It is usually used as fishing bait or sold to feed mills to make fishmeal.

Li Duoyu just bought the small trash fish at the Ludao Pier, and many of them are sisterfish.

After seeing this fish, the fleet did not change positions again, because this fish is also one of the main foods of the gun squid.

They gather here words.

The squid will be coming soon, too.

The fishing boat stayed in place, and for about ten minutes or so, the little girls who circled around the fishing boat suddenly became agitated.

Keep jumping out of the water.

Li Duoyu looked at the sea surface and found that there were some slender marine creatures in the sea, which were constantly chasing the little girl.

Li Duoyu said to everyone: "Everyone can hang the bait, and they are ready to start squid fishing." ”

Li Duoyu was the first to throw the hook in, in fact, there were four fishing rods on his fishing boat, which could be fished with fishing rods.

But it doesn't seem necessary to think about it, hand line fishing is the most traditional fishing method, and for them, fishermen, they are the most familiar.

As long as it's not a deep sea area, hand-and-line fishing may be more efficient than a fishing rod.

Li Duoyu's hook was thrown down, and in less than twenty seconds, the fishing line on his fingertips trembled.

Immediately afterwards, the line is straightened.

At this moment, Li Duoyu exerted his strength with both hands and directly lifted the fishing line.

The moment he brought it up, Li Duoyu could clearly feel that something was struggling at the end of the fishing line.

But Li Duoyu did not rush to reel in the line, but pulled up at a uniform speed, and occasionally gave way to the line.

When fishing for squid, you can't try too hard.

Because the outbreak of squid is instantaneous.

When the squid breaks out, if you happen to exert your strength, there is only one result, and the hook cuts through the barrel of the squid, allowing the squid to escape.

Even if you use a fishing rod to catch squid, you have to adjust the drain of the fishing wheel very low, and the reason why many novices let the squid run away is that the drain is not done well.

The whole boatload of people looked at Li Duoyu intently, and as he pulled up the hooks, everyone's eyes lit up instantly, there were only five hooks in total, and there were actually three squid with barrels hanging on the hooks.

The moment the squid came out of the water, three black water columns of different sizes shot out in unison, and Chen Liang, who was watching from the sidelines, was sprayed.

"Damn, your uncle, why is there so much water?"

On the string hook, there was a squid with a barrel as long as a small arm, and Li Duoyu hurriedly said: "Take the net, this one is too big, pull it up, and it may run away." ”

Small squid can be dragged ashore directly, but large squid is best to use a net, and many novices run fish at this stage.

It took less than two minutes for Li Duoyu to catch the squid from throwing the hook to catching it, and the squid that came up was all alive.

After the squid is caught, Li Duoyu temporarily throws the squid into the bucket first, the purpose of which is to make the squid spit out ink and let the squid live longer.

Otherwise, if you throw it directly into the ice cabin, if these squid spit ink together in the ice cabin, it is estimated that the ice will be stained black.

The old fishermen on the boat couldn't help but start casting their hooks to fish when they saw that Li Duoyu had caught three squid so quickly.

The squid hook that Li Duoyu taught everyone to make is very exaggerated, and the hook has not yet sunk to the bottom, and there will be a squid bite immediately.

However, when many crew members pulled up the hooks, they found that they were empty, and there were several more, and when they left the water, they let the squid run away, and only a few small tentacles were caught.

"Duoyu, why can't you run away when you catch squid, why do we fish, why do we run away."

Li Duoyu quipped: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, the squid is so soft, don't be too violent, be gentle, it's easy to fish." ”

The old fisherman suddenly realized that only Chen Liang, a single dog, was there, with a bitter face: "How to catch a fish, you have to be gentle." ”

The black dog, who had just been married for a long time, said with a smile: "When you have a partner, you will know how gentle you have to be." ”

"Gan Niniang's black dog, it's great to have a wife, isn't it, believe it or not, before the end of the year, I will also marry a scumbag."

The black dog smiled: "Then hurry up, if you get married this year, I will give you a big red envelope." ”

Chen Liang's father shook his head and said in disgust: "It would be nice if he had this ability, all the money he earned in the first half of the year was invited to dinner by his group of fox friends and dogs, and now he can't even find a coin in his pocket." ”

Chen Liang scratched his head in embarrassment: "Those are all brothers, people keep calling them, and I'm embarrassed not to invite them." ”

Chen Youquan couldn't help but pat his head: "Invite your brother to dinner every day, and your brother's wife can't sleep for you." ”

Everyone followed Li Duoyu's method, no longer dragging the fish so violently, and sure enough, the barrel squid was caught easily.

The second uncle couldn't help but ask: "Duoyu, I have always had a question that I can't figure out, how can you understand so much." ”

Faced with this kind of problem, Li Duoyu has at least more than ten ways to deal with it, and replied casually: "What was introduced in the fishery magazine, I have never fished before, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good." ”

The second uncle sighed.

"It seems that we have all suffered the loss of no culture."

If more than 10 people fish for squid together, the catch is also very exaggerated.

On average, more than two dozen barrel squid are caught on the boat every two minutes.

Due to the huge number of squid gathered by the lights, more than 600 live squid were caught in about an hour.

At first, everyone felt very fresh and interesting, and they kept pulling the fishing line, and even compared to who was fishing.

But after two hours of continuous fishing, the crew's movements became slower and slower, and some people began to hammer their shoulders, because the repeated action caused the shoulders and arms to be very sore.

In particular, the index finger has become numb and even a little sore and painful because of shaking the fishing line all the time.

"Grass, there are so many spines in this fish's hook, and it has been stabbed again." Chen Liang couldn't help but scold.

"You're wearing gloves."

"If you wear gloves, you don't feel that way, and Zhongyu doesn't even know it."

Li Duoyu looked at Chen Liang and agreed with what he said.

"It's really too thick now, and if you put it on, it really doesn't feel anything, and every time I use it, I take at least two hours, and I'm almost exhausted."

Chen Liang was stunned.

Then he reacted, and scolded with a black face: "Grass, you just caught me alone and bullied me, right?" ”

The old fisherman on the boat couldn't help laughing: "Don't bully you, who is bullying, whoever calls the boat is the one who has no object yet." ”

"Gannie Niang."

Li Duoyu, who has fished nearly 100 squid, scowled his shoulders and moved his body, squid fishing is indeed very cool, but once the assembly line is over, all that remains is boredom.

Li Duoyu suddenly remembered that in his previous life, there were fishermen on Dandan Island who were deceived into going to work on an ocean-going squid fishing boat.

Originally, it was said that it would be one year, but as soon as the contract was signed, it directly became two years.

When he went out, he was still a young spiritual guy, and when he came back, he was dark and thin, and everyone almost didn't recognize him.

The first thing he did when he returned to the island was to carry a knife to cut down the villager who had introduced him to work on the squid fishing boat.

scared the introducer so much that he ran away overnight, and later, after everyone's persuasion, he let go of his obsession with cutting people.

According to him, the squid fishing boat is a more terrifying place than digging coal in the black brick kiln, with almost no rest during the day and work at night, on average, at least 15 hours a day.

It floats on the water all year round.

The food is not good.

When I was sick, my medical conditions were still limited, and I was all taking antibiotics, and I couldn't resist it, so I could only rely on my own body to carry it.

Interpersonal relationships are also super complicated, picking up soap, forming cliques, and isolating things happen from time to time.

And some particularly disobedient are more likely to be shipwrecked, and if they "accidentally" fall into the sea, the captain with a conscience may put the body in cold storage and pull it back together.

The black-hearted one directly said that he was smuggled away.

And the squid fishing boat is dirty, messy and poor, and if it encounters a big wave, it can shake out all the internal organs of people, according to his words, it is ten times better to go to prison than to go to work in a squid fishing boat.

While they were fishing for squid, the third uncle poured the squid that had been sprayed with ink in the bucket on top of the fish sifter and rinsed the squid with seawater.

At first, Li Zhengfa thought that even if it worked to catch squid with a hand line, the number of fish caught would not be very large.

But I didn't think about it in just two hours, and I made thousands of squid, some large squid, one has a catty, and the smallest, four add up to a catty.

Taken together, the squid caught in these two hours is 300 catties.

Li Zhengfa made a simple calculation, if calculated according to the purchase price on the dock, the purchase price of this level of fishing squid (squid caught) is three cents.

In other words, you can earn nine cards of unity in two hours.

Li Zhengfa glanced at his watch, it is only nine o'clock in the evening, and if he fishes all night, he will catch it until seven o'clock tomorrow morning.

At least five more times can be carried out in the nine-card unity, and one trip can offset this month's debts.

Li Zhengfa shouted: "Don't be lazy, let's do it for a few more days, and everyone will have dividends this month." ”

Chen Liang's face darkened.

"I'm not going back, why are I still doing it."

"Now we've found a way to fish for squid, and we're going back to fart."

Chen Liang collapsed instantly, and tears were about to flow, because this was his longest trip to the sea, and he had a hunch that it would take at least two months to go home this time.

And some old fishermen have long been accustomed to this kind of intensity, and think it is quite normal.

The second uncle shouted: "Boat boss, it seems that we have all fished out of the squid in this vicinity, and there is no goods, so you can change places." ”

"Okay, then let's go fishing in another place."

Li Duoyu looked at the whole row of squid fishing crews in front of him, like this squid fishing mode, which is the initial form of the squid fishing boat.

Glancing at the third uncle with excitement written on his face, Li Duoyu frowned slightly, I don't know why, he has an intuition.

If the third uncle is allowed to develop, he may really become the boss of the squid fishing boat.

"Ugh."

Li Duoyu sighed, the end of the ship's boss is not how much fish is caught, but how much oil and water can be squeezed out of the crew.

The night is getting deeper.

The number of squid boats on the fishing grounds has gradually decreased, and in the second half of the night, several crew members are tired enough to lie on the deck, and some old fishermen are still fishing for squid.

In this way, everyone fished until the moment when the sun came out the next day.

At this time, the light fishing has no effect, and the catch is visibly reduced, and sometimes, not a single squid can be caught for five minutes.

In the cabin, Li Zhengfa, the boss of the boat, looked at the basket of fresh squid in front of him, and there was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes, but quite excited.

Now he can't wait to fly to the fishing port dock on Ludao Island immediately to show those who used to sneer at him.

At dawn.

After everyone finished breakfast, the crew who had been fishing all night didn't even want to take a shower, and ran back to the cabin to sleep.

Li Duoyu discussed with the third uncle and uncle, and the fleet planned to stay and fish for squid until the end of the season.

Li Duoyu still has a lot of things in his hands, and he is still the village director, so it is naturally impossible to accompany them to continue squid fishing.

And the lobby brother Li Shuguang also had to go back to prepare for kelp seedlings, and the two took turns to drive the fishing boat back to Dandan Island.
