fisherman legend

Chapter 154 Fishing Listen to Me!
Looking at the two women standing on the pier waving off, and Wang Yanming and Zhu Junhong standing on the fishing boat, they both felt a little uncomfortable.It wasn't until this moment that they really realized how fishermen feel every time they go to sea.

On the contrary, people like Zhou Yang who have traveled the sea for many years are already used to this kind of life.If it is not for living, who is willing to take the risk of going to the high seas to make a living?In the final analysis, everything is for life or survival!
As the fisherman boss on this trip, Zhuang Haiyang could only smile and comfort him: "Squad leader, Junzi, don't look at it! I'll just go out to sea for a few days, and call my sister-in-law and the others in the evening to report that I'm safe. Fishing these days , no better than in previous years!"

Hearing this, the old crew member also answered with a smile: "Brother Zhuang, you're right! I think back then, when we first ran out to sea with others, we were also worried. If we came back later than the scheduled time, The family members are more worried.

Now the conditions are good, there are communication equipment and navigation equipment on board, and the country provides weather forecasts.If it were the old fishermen before, there would be such a condition.At that time, when I went to sea, I had to kill chickens to worship the gods and pray for a safe return! "

In fact, before going to sea this time, Zhuang Haiyang also brought five comrades in arms to burn incense and pray for blessings in his own Dragon King Temple.It cannot be said to be completely superstitious, but more to seek peace of mind.It's normal to be a little apprehensive for the first time.

The person involved, Wang Yanming, smiled wryly and said, "I'm not as glass-hearted as you said. I just feel a little bit reluctant to part with you all of a sudden. You also know that my wife and children haven't been separated much since we got married."

"Squad leader, doesn't this seem right? If I remember correctly, you should have come here earlier than my sister-in-law, right? If you really want to say that you are reluctant, it should be me. You know, I have been married to my wife until now. We've never been separated!"

Zhu Junhong, who was standing on the side, also teased a few words at the right time, but Zhuang Haiyang directly complained: "Okay, okay! Knowing that you are all good men from the Gu family, what are you showing off? Are you bullying us singles?"

"That's right! Junzi is the most frightening guy. Doesn't he have a wife? What do you show off every day?"

The other three single comrades-in-arms seemed to have long been disgusted with the days of being sprinkled with dog food every day, so they took this opportunity to go straight to the past.Facing the group ridicule from his comrades-in-arms, Zhu Junhong still proudly said: "I have a wife, I am proud, why?"

"First, we three brothers, do you want to throw this guy overboard and let him go back to find his wife?"

After comrade Sun Zhiyang said this, the other two comrades were eager to try.Facing the siege of three people, Zhu Junhong could only surrender and said: "Brothers, I was wrong! I promise not to be fooled, and please let my buddies go."

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang also laughed and scolded: "This guy, Junzi, is becoming more and more shameless. All right, you stay on the deck and ask Uncle Huang how to operate the instruments on the ship. Squad leader, you Follow me to the cockpit."

"Okay, go get busy!"

With Wang Yanming, who has the calmest personality, the two came to the cockpit together.Zhou Yang, who was in charge of sailing the boat, also smiled when he saw the two of them coming, "What? Do you want to try sailing this big boat?"

"Forget it! Let's take a look! You are more familiar with the route here than we are. If you encounter a sea area with hidden reefs, just remember to tell us. I have a captain's certificate, but my squad leader does not. Let him tell you first. study."

"Okay! In my opinion, sailing a boat is easier than driving a car. However, it takes a lot of work to really sail a boat out to sea. The sea looks endless, but the bottom of the sea is also full of dangers.

If you accidentally drive the boat to a place with a hidden reef and hit it, the consequences will still be very serious.Fortunately, there is radar. As long as you don't lose your mind, under normal circumstances, such a thing as hitting a rock will not happen. "

It was clear in Zhuang Haiyang's heart that the comrades he invited were more credible.Zhou Yang, who was invited to be the captain, didn't think there was anything wrong.The ship rented by others has to pay the crew wages, so it's impossible not to have a confidant on board.

In the past six months, with the job provided by Zhuang Haiyang, Zhou Yang doesn't have to worry about not making money.If Zhuang Haiyang stopped hiring him after half a year when he got a new boat, then Zhou Yang wouldn't think there was anything wrong.

But now that he has taken other people's money, Zhou Yang will do his best to do the job well.Anyway, Zhuang Haiyang's salary is not low.He is very kind, so he has to be kind!

Through the Beidou navigation system on board, Zhuang Haiyang also asked: "When will we be able to go to the fishing area?"

"It's probably going to be evening! Although the speed of this boat is not slow, for safety's sake, let's try to drive as slowly as possible."

"Okay! You can make up your own mind about this matter! If you are tired, remember to call me at any time, and I will hold a meeting for you."

"Okay! This boat is more comfortable than the boat I used to drive. On the high seas, if the waves are not big, the speed can be faster!"

Although the tonnage of the leased fishing boat is not small, it still seems a little insignificant on the sea.When encountering stormy weather at sea, fishing boats will also appear to be very bumpy.Sometimes, the old crew will be so weak in limbs.

Taking advantage of not having to work, other comrades-in-arms followed the old crew, sitting on the deck, bragging and smoking.Let Wang Yanming stay in the cockpit and talk with Zhou Yang, while Zhuang Haiyang came to the kitchen and looked at Zhou Hongjie who was preparing dinner.

"Hongjie, it's still early, isn't it? No matter how busy you are later, it's okay!"

Seeing Zhuang Haiyang walking into the kitchen, Zhou Hongjie, who was invited to be the chef, also smiled and said: "It's okay, first prepare the dishes to be fried in the evening, and when it's time to eat, I won't be in a hurry."

"Okay! I'll leave the kitchen to you. If you need anything, remember to tell me!"

"Ok!"

"If there is nothing to do in the kitchen, you can also go to the deck to blow the air and smoke. If you are in the kitchen, try not to smoke."

"Don't worry! I still know the rules on board!"

For Zhou Hongjie, he is really satisfied with a salary of 8000 yuan a month.According to his uncle, there are at most four or five trips to the sea in a month.When the weather is bad, the frequency of going to sea may be less.

Calculated in this way, he can go home to spend time with his parents when he doesn't have to go to sea, and he can still receive his salary.Although this work is a bit hard, for Zhou Hongjie, he feels very lucky.

If it wasn't for his uncle's face, he probably wouldn't be able to do such a good job!

While everyone else was chatting, Zhuang Haiyang also came to the captain's lounge on the ship.This cabin is also exclusive to Zhuang Haiyang.Finding out the notepad, Zhuang Haiyang also began to record some things about going to sea.

As the person in charge of going to sea, Zhuang Haiyang also hopes to learn more about the surrounding ocean conditions.Waiting for the others to return to the rest cabin one after another, intending to lie down for a while to waste time, Zhuang Haiyang came back to the deck instead.

Looking at the endless blue sea in the distance, Zhuang Haiyang also tried to release his spiritual power.The mental power is like an underwater radar, and it begins to filter the fish and creatures under the water.

To Zhuang Haiyang's surprise, he found that the number of fish schools in the sea here seems to be less than that near Nanshan Island.But looking at the various ships passing by from time to time, it is normal that there are not many fish schools.

No wonder some people would say that if you set nets for fishing, you still have to avoid the waterways where ships frequently come and go.Only by going to sea areas where there are not many boats can it be possible to find schools of fish that live and swim.

"If that's the case, then I need to save my energy! If I'm trawling the net, I'd better wait until dawn! For the crab cage, I'll go to the resting sea area at night, so I can choose a place with a lot of crabs."

Zhuang Haiyang also brought a lot of bought sea crab cages with him when he went to sea this time.This kind of crab cage is bigger than the crab cage used by Zhuang Haiyang near Nanshan Island before.It can sink deeper and catch more crabs.

Correspondingly, to pull these crab pots, you need to use the hoisting equipment on the fishing boat.It's just that compared to those cages for fishing king crabs that I saw online, these crab cages are still much smaller.The crabs here are still not that big.

It set off at noon and sailed for nearly six hours before Zhou Yang slowed down the boat and said, "Ocean, let's rest in this sea area at night! If you want to work at night, then we have to find a way to use lights to attract fish."

"Uncle Zhou, you just came out, so there's no need to be in such a hurry. Eat first, and when you're done, take the boat and take me around. I'll take a look and find a suitable place to put the crab pots. After the crab pots are finished, let's Stop the boat nearby to rest."

"Okay, you are the boss of the ship, then listen to you!"

Knowing that Zhuang Haiyang went to sea this time, it was more of an attempt and learning.Although Zhou Yang felt that he should hurry up and work.Regardless of whether there is a harvest or not, if you put the net a few more times, you should be able to catch more fish.

Because no one can guarantee that the next trawling net will catch a school of fish that exploded.There are some truths that may not be useful to talk about. Only when Zhuang Haiyang has tasted the taste of empty nets will he know that fishing in the open sea is not as simple as he imagined.

When the sun was about to disappear, everyone had their first meal on board.Zhou Hongjie's craftsmanship has also been recognized by everyone.Taking advantage of the afterglow of the sun, Zhuang Haiyang asked Zhou Yang to sail the boat around the nearby waters.

At this time, Zhuang Haiyang called the old crew and said to his comrades: "Did you see those baits? From now on, put these baits into the crab pots, and wait for you to listen to my instructions and put these crab pots down."

"Okay! Remember!"

Before boarding the boat, Zhuang Haiyang told everyone that he had to follow his orders when getting out of the crab pots and trawl nets.In this regard, some veteran crew members felt that Zhuang Haiyang might not have experience, but they would not object at such a time.

Standing on the bow of the boat, release your mental power, and start searching for crabs on the surface and under the sea.When the fishing boat sailed for a certain distance and saw a seabed covered with seaweed and many crabs living nearby, Zhuang Haiyang shouted: "Slow down!"

After signaling to Zhou Yang in the cockpit, the speed of the fishing boat quickly slowed down.The veteran crew members and several comrades who were ready began to throw the crab pots they carried into the sea near the fishing boat one after another according to Zhuang Haiyang's instructions.

As for whether there will be any gains, we will not know until the crab cages are put away tomorrow morning.Compared with his comrades who are full of confidence in Zhuang Haiyang, Zhou Yang and the veteran crew members he invited still hold expectations, hoping to have a good start!
