little fisherman catching the sea

Chapter 156 Rounding Up ([-])

It's another brand new day, and Zhang Miao seems a little eager to try at this time, with some excitement.

Before Li Haoyuan and Xu Pengfei arrived, Zhang Siqing came over.Besides him, there is also his wife Huang Xiulan.Since it was seine fishing, he couldn't operate it by himself, and he still needed helpers on board.

Zhang Miao, who was eating seafood porridge, showed a bright smile, "Chenchen hasn't come back yet?"

"I won't come, I'm playing in school." Zhang Siqing laughed and said to Zhang Miao, "She still wants to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and now she still has to attend classes."

That is not an easy task, and it really needs to work hard at this time.If it is delayed, maybe we can only 'fight again'.It's just that once you graduate and go to the postgraduate entrance examination, it's definitely not as good as being in school.

Huang Xiulan said with a bit of resentment, "Tell her to learn earlier and insist on playing. Now that she is about to graduate, she will not know how nervous she is."

Zhao Ling pointed to her son and said, "Look at this little thing! When I was at home last year, I asked him not to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and let him not take the public examination. He was idle all day long, either eating or sleeping. If you drive out to fish, it will be useless."

"My nephew is capable. It doesn't matter if he doesn't take the postgraduate entrance examination or the public examination." Zhang Siqing said with a smile, "Where is his ability to find fish? He can do whatever he wants, as long as he can eat enough."

Zhao Ling said modestly, "In today's society, as long as you are more down-to-earth, who really can't eat enough?! Fishing, what you eat is youth food, and you don't necessarily earn a lot, and it's dirty and tiring. It's not that I don't know, it's a disease of getting older."

Mainly because of rheumatism, and moreover, heavy physical labor. Some fishermen feel uncomfortable when they are old.

Zhang Liye also said, "To be honest, a big ship is better, and it's okay to be a ship owner. It's not nice to say that we are small-timers. Young people are not willing to fish at home. Do."

Social status, economic income, and physical labor all make many young people unwilling to become fishermen, especially offshore fishing.

Li Haoyuan and Xu Pengfei came, and these two guys were like chicken blood.They have been fishermen for a period of time, but they have not experienced purse seine fishing. This is a new experience, which makes them feel relatively fresh.

Zhang Siqing looked at these young people and said, "Be more aggressive than when we were young. At that time, we just wanted to have enough food."

Zhang Miao felt it was an exaggeration. When his parents were young, they didn't just think about having enough to eat.At that time, I should be thinking about eating better and working hard to make more money.

Everything can also be said to be ready, and the next step is to go fishing, which is the most important event.

Success or failure depends on one stroke, what Zhang Miao is thinking about is a satisfying catch.Since it is a big fight, it will naturally require more catches. It is one thing to invest a lot of cost, and now there are also a lot of manpower to fish with seine nets.

If this does not yield enough satisfactory results, it is obviously not acceptable, and it is absolutely unacceptable to Zhang Miao.

"Wait and follow our boat." Zhang Liye stood at the pier, puffing away clouds with Zhang Siqing, talking about work arrangements, "Your boat is easy to turn around, so you should turn around first, shouldn't it be a problem?"

Zhang Siqing nodded, thinking it was all right, "Okay, then you will be in charge of releasing the net, and I will spread the net quickly."

Purse seine fishing is actually very easy to understand from the literal meaning.

It is to use long-belt net gear to quickly release the net from the fishing boat to surround the fish school.The net stretches vertically in the water to form a purse seine wall, which prevents the fish from escaping to the surroundings, and then gradually shrinks and closes the bottom of the net to prevent the fish from escaping downward.

Then, while lifting the net, the encirclement circle is gradually narrowed, forcing the fish cluster to concentrate on the fish-taking part or the bag net, so as to achieve the purpose of fishing.

It is simple to say, but the seine operation is heavy, and it is not so easy without certain experience and tools.But the most important thing is to be able to find fish schools, this is the key.

Pointing to Zhang Miao on the fishing boat, Zhang Siqing said, "These boys are disgusting, you still have to watch them when they release the net."

"I know this in my heart. I'm also afraid that they will twist the net when they release the net, and I'm afraid that their net will not be leveled." Zhang Liye said with a smile, "At that time, Xiao Miao will be responsible for finding fish, and I will release the net then. Give me your hand and steer the boat, either I want to release the net, or I will turn the boat around first.”

It seems that this is all Zhang Miao's work, and this is his biggest role in seine fishing this time.

As long as Zhang Miao can find the fish school, it is enough, and what's more, he can take the helm temporarily while his father directs the release of the net.Zhang Miao still needs to continue learning if he wants to take on bigger tasks and play a more important role in fishing.

Now that everything has been discussed and arranged, it is natural to start.

Chatting at the pier is not enough, no matter how good the discussion is, it is only on paper, and you still need to go to sea to catch fish.

Zhang Miao, who was sitting on the bow, pointed to the front and said, "Dad, let's go to the side of Shadao, which is where we dropped the net a few days ago."

"Okay, that side is also suitable." Zhang Liye nodded without objecting, "It's just that the water level over there is relatively shallow, so we can save some trouble and drag the net directly to the shore."

Zhang Miao was speechless for a moment, and this became a form of seine + trawl, two in one.

It's just that it might be better this way, and it will be easier to collect the net if it is dragged to the shore.If you start collecting the net directly at sea, it will probably take some effort, and the equipment on the two small fishing boats is also a little bit reluctant.

Don't say anything more, it is more important to hurry up to go to sea, and it is more important to hurry up to find the fish.

Xu Pengfei looked at the fishing nets piled up on the deck and asked, "Uncle, how big is this net?"

"The length is 1000 meters." Zhang Liye laughed and said proudly, "The mesh size is 40, 12 strands."

Strands, generally speaking, the wire of a fishing net has only one diameter, while the line of a fishing net has strands. The larger the number of strands, the thicker the line.

As for the 'mesh', it is the hole in the fishing net.

In fact, in China, different fishing nets, different sea areas, and different catches have different requirements for the purpose of the net.

For example, in Zhang Miao’s hometown, the mesh of the purse seine is 35, while the mesh of the gillnet is 110 for swimming crabs and silver pomfrets, and 50 for dragonhead fish.

Li Haoyuan said with emotion, "Hey, how big is a 1000-meter-long net?!"

Big, so of course it is very big, but in the seine, such a length is really not particularly big.This is just fishing in the near sea. If you go to the far sea, a large seine net of several kilometers is the real big net.

But there is no need to say these things now, and now they are developing in the coastal waters, and fishing nets that are too large are of no use to them. Choosing a more suitable fishing net is the most important thing.

The two fishing boats left the pier almost at the same time and headed towards their predetermined sea area. This is the intention to start changing, and this is also looking forward to a satisfactory catch.

Zhang Miao was in high spirits, he had no doubt that there would be a satisfactory harvest this time, he was full of confidence.

To put it simply, the lack of catches in the past few days is definitely not the reason why Zhang Miao did not find the fish. Those fish are there, but they cannot be caught.

This time it's not just sitting on the sidelines, this time it's not passively waiting for the "willing ones to take the bait", this time it's taking the initiative to attack and catch everything.

The idea is very good, but sometimes, there are really some variables that make people feel caught off guard.

"No, someone has cast their nets here." Zhang Liye shook his head, looked at the buoys and the floaters on the sea, there was nothing he could do about it, "Let's go to another place, if we cast this net, other people's nets will also be cast." Obsolete."

Isn't that right, with such a net, it doesn't mean that the fish here will be wiped out.It's simply a net like this, that is, wrapping other people's fishing nets in it, and then it will be a net within a net.

Such a thing is obviously impossible to do. It seems that the originally scheduled work area cannot be used.

On the fishing boat next to him, Zhang Siqing said, "Xiao Miao, are there any fish here?"

"Yes!" Zhang Miao said confidently, "There are still a lot of fish here, but we are not easy to catch."

Zhang Siqing pointed to the fishing net in the distance, and said, "We won't go there, I figured it out, if we walk from here and drag it to the shore, we won't get entangled in their nets."

Zhang Liye also came to the side of the boat to have a look, a little uncertain, "Third brother, go over there and have a look, their net might have floated down."

The surface part of the fishing net is a buoy, but the net in the underwater part must have a large area, which is far beyond the buoy on the water surface.

"They seem to be sticky nets, not drift nets." Zhang Miao was also a little uncertain, looking into the distance and said, "It's mainly their nets, which seem to be flowing upstream. I'm afraid that the fishing nets will drift down."

Zhang Liye nodded. If it's okay to stick to the net, it basically won't interfere with their work.But if it is a drifting net, it is really likely to affect their work.

As for getting off the net in a place close to other people's network, it depends on how it is understood and how it works.

If they are not next to each other or intentionally interfere with other people's work, there is basically no problem.What I am most afraid of is deliberately destroying other people's nets.

"If you catch fish here, how many do you think you can catch?" Zhang Liye continued to observe the sea surface, and suddenly asked, "Big fish or small fish?"

Looking at the surface of the water, Zhang Miao pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's not something valuable, but it's Balang, Qingzhan, etc., but the estimated amount is relatively large."

Zhang Liye nodded, then take another look to see what happened to the fishing net in front of him.

It doesn’t matter if it’s some fish whose unit price is not high. In fact, a large quantity is enough, and there is no harm in accumulating a small amount.

In short, it still depends on the total income!
