fisherman legend

Chapter 17

After returning home after practicing, the seven tourists who landed on the island were still sound asleep.But for Zhuang Haiyang who is going to go to sea early, he needs to get busy in advance and hang all the bait on the prepared hooks.

Most of the hooks that go out to sea with other fishermen will put several rows, but Zhuang Haiyang only prepared one row.Take out the small live shrimp kept in the water tank and start hooking them, and neatly stack them on the side of the bucket, so that they can be hooked when they go out to sea.

After finishing these tasks, Zhuang Haiyang packed up the tools he needed to bring to the sea, and then knocked on the door of the room where the three of them rested downstairs.As for the two couples sleeping soundly upstairs, Zhuang Haiyang thought about it and decided not to take them out to sea.

It's rare for couples to relax, and they come to the island to play, so why bother to taste the hardships of going to sea?

Zheng Tianming, who was woken up, wiped his eyes and said, "Fisherman, it's so early? What time is it?"

"It's almost six o'clock! The next row of hooks has to be early, I'm still late!"

Compared to the two couples upstairs, the three people living downstairs all decided to go out to sea with Zhuang Haiyang before going to bed.After waking up, they simply washed up and looked at the things prepared in the yard. The three of them also seemed very surprised.

Huang Xinyan, who lived in the same room with Zhuang Haiyang, was even more curious: "Fisherman, what time did you wake up?"

"It's less than five o'clock! When going to the sea to drain the ditch, the bait must be put on in advance, otherwise it will be too late to go to sea."

"I'm KAO, it seems that fishing is also very hard!"

Faced with Huang Xinyan's exclamation, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and shook his head and said, "What's the trouble? For those fishermen who live near the sea, they have to get up earlier than me to go to the sea to drain the ditch. For fishermen, getting up Going out to sea early in the dark is common."

Carrying the prepared tools for going out to sea, a group of four quickly arrived at the pier.Let the three of them put on their life jackets, start the fishing boat and turn on the spotlights Zhuang Haiyang, and soon leave the island with the fishing boat, heading for the sea area where the hooks are to be lowered.

Sitting on the fishing boat, looking at the apparently dark sea, Li Sihai also sighed: "It seems that fishing is also very hard! This black light goes out to sea, as an ordinary person, I probably wouldn't dare."

"For the fisherman, this should be the life he has lived since he was a child. However, it is not bad to experience this kind of life once. If it is in the city, this point is probably still in the dream of many people. Bar!"

Zheng Tianming, who chatted with him with a smile, was not afraid of this kind of going out to sea, but rather excited and excited.Although he also often goes to sea, he has never experienced going to sea so early.It's good to try it out!

After driving for about ten minutes, Zhuang Haiyang suddenly said: "Old Zheng, help me steer the wheel, I'm going to get ready for the next row of hooks."

"I'm sailing, don't you worry?"

Hearing what Zhuang Haiyang said, Zheng Tianming also felt astonished.He is a veteran driver and it is his first time to drive a boat.

But Zhuang Haiyang quickly said: "You just need to hold the steering wheel, I will adjust the speed, and you can move forward at a constant speed. There are no hidden reefs or fishing boats around here, so don't worry about hitting the reef. Opportunities are rare, if you don't dare, let them go." Come, old Li!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming! Hey, being a captain is very exciting!"

Zheng Tianming, who hurriedly got into the cockpit, listened to Zhuang Haiyang's introduction to the things that need to be paid attention to when sailing, took the steering wheel and tried it, and found that sailing is actually very simple.Of course, this is the case when only the direction is needed.

Zheng Tianming would not dare to drive a long distance, avoid hidden reefs in the sea, and adjust the speed of the ship!
Handing over the rudder to Zheng Tianming, Zhuang Haiyang, who came out of the cockpit, carried the prepared row hook to the side of the ship.Throwing down the made buoy, I started to lower the row of hooks into the sea, and the baited row of hooks was finished after a while.

Returning to the cockpit, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Old Zheng, thank you! I'm alone, so it's really inconvenient to lower the hook."

"Then why don't you hurry up and find a partner, wouldn't it be better to be a couple?"

Zheng Tianming, who handed over the steering wheel to Zhuang Haiyang, also replied with a smile.In fact, there are not many fishing methods that a person can really engage in when he goes fishing alone.If more people help, I believe that Zhuang Haiyang's daily income will be higher.

But Zhuang Haiyang still shook his head and said: "It's good to be alone! I really haven't considered finding a partner for the time being!"

After chatting with everyone, Zhuang Haiyang drove the boat to a nearby sea area.At this time, the visibility of the sea surface is much brighter than when it was just out of the sea.Sitting on a fishing boat, you can also enjoy the scenery of the sunrise and the sea.

Seeing the floating ground cage thrown down the night before, Zhuang Haiyang slowed down and stopped the boat and said, "The place ahead is where I got off the crab cage. interesting!"

"Need our help?"

"No! It's quite tiring to set up the crab cage. If you want to try it, wait for the crab cage to be pulled up, and you can help me sort it out. Throw all the crabs into the water tank, and put the other miscellaneous fish separately. For small crabs, just Throw it back into the sea."

"Okay! We are also looking forward to what good harvest you will get from the crab pots you put in today!"

He found three pairs of waterproof gloves and handed them to the three of them to put on. Zhuang Haiyang, who also put on the gloves, picked up the buoy as a marker.Following the rope tied to the buoy, he began to pull the crab pots that were placed in the sea. It didn't take long for a crab pot to be pulled up.

After taking a look, he smiled and said: "It seems that we are lucky! The first cage, the harvest is really a lot!"

Carrying the packed crab pots to the boat, the three people who leaned over immediately said, "Wow KAO, there are a lot of crabs!"

"Hmm! These are swimming crabs and blue crabs. Wait, there seem to be octopuses!"

Demonstrating to the three people how to untie the crab cage and pick out a small crab from inside, Zhuang Haiyang smiled and said: "Crabs that are smaller or larger than this will be thrown back into the sea. Those that are bigger than this will be thrown into the water tank." Li. Are you okay?"

"No problem! Isn't it just sorting? This job must be done properly for you!"

Handing over the work of unpacking and sorting the crab cages to the three, Zhuang Haiyang took charge of the crab cages.Empty crab pots are rarely seen as pots are pulled onto the boat one by one.The three people in charge of sorting also began to be extremely busy.

From time to time, grab the crabs in the crab cage and compare which one is bigger.Occasionally seeing some marine life mixed into the crab cage, the three of them also found it quite novel.But for Zhuang Haiyang, from the moment he got out of the crab cage, he knew that the harvest would not be small.

As for those empty crab pots, the most fundamental reason is that Zhuang Haiyang didn't put any bait.The purpose of doing this is also very simple, that is to try to make others feel that the crab pots he placed are also normal, some are burst and some are empty.

A total of fifty crab cages were pulled out, but the three people in charge of sorting did not finish sorting.Even Zheng Tianming, who was sweating all over, said in amazement: "Fisherman, are there so many fishery resources here? There are so many crabs!"

Zheng Tianming, who often goes to sea, is no stranger to fishermen using crab pots to catch crabs.But he had never seen a situation like Zhuang Haiyang's, where each crab cage was crowded with at least seven or eight or more crabs.

Facing Zheng Tianming's question, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "This is the outer sea, and the fishery resources must be more abundant than the inner sea. For other fishermen who live in the town, it would take two or three hours to come here by boat. The cost is not small."

"That's right! It seems that you have chosen a land with good geomantic omen! With so many crabs, you can probably sell them for a lot of money, right?"

"It's okay! Come here every now and then and let it go, at least the food and gas expenses will be paid back."

For Zhuang Haiyang, the price of crabs can only be said to be average.Fortunately, every time I go down the crab pot, I can catch a lot.If the number is large, the income is actually not low each time.Occasionally come to the next crab pot, in fact, the income is also very good.
