little fisherman catching the sea

Chapter 372

Zhang Miao considers himself a professional in fishing, and he also feels that he has a little bit of ability and ability, and he will definitely be able to catch enviable catches and return with a full reward.

With such anticipation, Zhang Miao got up early.Zhang Miao, who started to wash up, looked at the sea, and there was nothing poetic about it. The main reason was that he watched the sunrise on the sea more times, so naturally there was nothing new.

After washing up, Zhang Miao went to the cockpit, looked at the charts and data a little bit, and could be regarded as clear about the general situation, which was about the same.Everything is calm, you just need to continue to maintain this pace, you just need to be able to return home with a full load.

Li Haoyuan and Xu Pengfei also got up, looking a little listless.This is also normal, after all, just waking up, a little bit confused is a normal thing.

"It's still a bit cold in the morning, so be careful not to catch a cold." Zhang Miao smiled and said to Li Haoyuan and Xu Pengfei, "At this time of day, catching a cold is really a troublesome thing."

Li Haoyuan's attitude was indifferent, and he said carelessly, "As long as we find the fish later, we will definitely get busy. If you sweat all over, even if you catch a cold, there is no problem, and you will definitely recover soon."

"The key is that you are afraid that you will be bored with a cold, which will affect our work." Xu Pengfei laughed and dismantled the stage, seeming to be in a good mood. "Speaking of it, I think I am healthier now. I am healthier than when I was in school. You see, I am so muscular now that I don't need to go to the gym."

Li Haoyuan didn't think so, and said half-truthfully, "We are doing heavy physical labor now, and the damage to the body is relatively large. And we are all working at sea. It doesn't matter now. A little older may cause rheumatism. kind of fault."

Can you be a little more optimistic, saying some depressing things this early in the morning is really a shame!

Occupational diseases and non-occupational diseases, there is really no need to care about them for the time being. It is more important to prepare for work now. This is another day of work, and there is no way to be lazy at this time.

After breakfast, Li Haoyuan and Xu Pengfei were not idle either. Although there seemed to be no fish for the time being, they just prepared the fishing line.A little bit of fishing, of course, is to use the fishing line directly, which is simple and rough, and it is completely based on luck, and there is no other idea.

Zhang Liye walked to the deck and said, "How's the situation? It is said that the fish are more active this morning, and many fish will come out at this time."

"I haven't seen much movement for the time being, and I haven't found anything valuable." Zhang Miao said with a smile, "There are still four days, we have relatively enough time, we can continue to wait and find another place. try to find."

In fact, it wasn't that there were no discoveries at all in the past two days, but there were some sporadic discoveries that Zhang Miao didn't think were of much value, so naturally he pretended that he hadn't seen anything.For this trip to sea, Zhang Miao's requirements were relatively high, and ordinary fish naturally couldn't tempt him.

Zhang Liye smiled and didn't say much. Now there is really no need to kill ordinary fish species. The main reason is that everyone has enough enthusiasm for the last time to go to sea in this fishing season, and they all hope to have better catches. .

Let's continue to wait and continue to look for more valuable fish species at this time. This is the common goal of Zhang Miao and the others, and this is also the purpose of going to sea this time.

Fishing hard is what Zhang Miao and the others can do now. For these fishermen, finding some valuable catches is their pursuit and expectation.

It is naturally a good thing to have confidence and expectations, but this is often the case, and expectations may not necessarily lead to good results.For such things, Zhang Miao and the others could be regarded as used to it.

Finally, the first net was cast, but this was just a catch of less than one hundred catties of crabs, which was better than nothing.It can be regarded as a fairly satisfactory harvest, but such a small harvest is far from satisfying, and the capital cannot be earned back.

It has been three days, and only one net has been cast, and there are only not too many catches. Although everyone still maintains enough expectations and confidence.But the blow to morale is more or less there.

Maybe we need to change our strategy, and we can't just focus on some valuable varieties.Pick them all up, and the full cabin is the first, instead of picking and choosing here.Otherwise, it is very likely that it is really a complete loss.

Not counting tossing and turning, Zhang Miao's sleep quality has always been relatively good, and what's more, it is really impossible to toss and turn in the current hammock.

At four o'clock in the morning, Zhang Miao got up.The main reason is that he knows that this period of time can be regarded as a time when some fish are more active, and now the pressure can be regarded as coming slowly, so Zhang Miao naturally has more ideas and needs to put in more effort.

After simply washing up, Zhang Miao began to enter the working state.

In fact, Zhang Miao was not the only one who got up at this time, everyone got up and got into work.It is still necessary to understand the habits of these fishes, and only in this way can we strive for more catches.

Zhang Miao, who came to the bow of the ship, was wearing a headlamp and carefully observing the sea surface, looking for some clues and movements.

Zhang Miao carefully observed the sea surface, and several soft fish appeared in his field of vision.In fact, they are squid, calamari, and small pipes. These guys seem to be more active.It's just that these fish are not of a large scale, and the economic value is average, so Zhang Miao really doesn't like it at all.

Such sporadic squids were probably attracted by the lights of the fishing boats.In fact, throughout the night, the fishing boats are lit with some lights, not particularly bright, mainly to avoid some accidents, such as fishing boat collisions and the like.

Just when the interest was lacking, a huge monster suddenly appeared, swam up from the depths of the ocean, and swallowed a squid fiercely and decisively.This big fish is obviously hunting.

The sea looked a little wavy, nothing special.However, some things that happened underwater were also seen by Zhang Miao at this time, which can be said to make Zhang Miao feel excited and incomparably surprised.

Those big fish are hunting, and they are active at deeper depths.It's just that they were hunting just now, which also exposed their whereabouts.

"There are fish!" Zhang Miao shouted immediately, and said excitedly, "Hurry up and get ready, the net will reach 25 to 30 meters!"

This is actually beyond the range of Zhang Miao's current vision, but he knows that those big fish are not active in the upper layer.At this time, the fishing net can only be placed in a deeper place. Only in this way can the catch this time be guaranteed, which is a surprising catch!

The body is thick spindle-shaped, with large pectoral fins and large eyes.Although this was the first time Zhang Miao saw these living creatures, even if it was just a flash in the pan, Zhang Miao could clearly see that it was a tuna, and if nothing else, it was a big-eyed tuna.

Although the price cannot be compared with bluefin tuna, it is definitely considered a relatively high-end seafood.It is almost difficult to sell at a sky-high price, and it is unlikely to sell one for several million or hundreds of thousands.But with a bit of luck, maybe a bigeye tuna can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

Of course, this kind of fish depends more on the quality, and the quality of the fish determines the price, rather than saying that the bigger the fish, the more valuable it is.

While Zhang Miao was walking around the deck excitedly, other people also took action at this time.It’s good for everyone to perform their own duties. You can wait for breakfast or washing up. Let’s catch fish first.

Chen Xinlin opened his mouth and said to Zhang Miao, "Xiao Miao, how does the boat drive?"

"Let me take a look first, and wait a moment." Zhang Miao paid attention to the sea and replied, "Dad, get ready. What I saw just now was a big fish. It is estimated to be over 1.5 meters tall, and it is probably very heavy."

This time, everyone became more energetic. Under Zhang Liye's command, Li Haoyuan and Xu Pengfei quickly unfolded the fishing nets that had been basically prepared a long time ago.Although only one net of fish was caught yesterday, the fishing net is basically hung on the machine, so it is natural to prepare for such an emergency, and it takes time to race against time.

When everything was ready, Zhang Liye asked, "Xiao Miao, is it 30 meters? Is this a bit deep?"

In fact, in terms of trawling, such a depth is not deep at all.It’s just that Zhang Miao and the others usually fish at a depth of about 20 meters.In other words, it is a bit different from usual to go directly to 30 meters.

"The fish is a bit big, probably not in the middle and upper layers." Zhang Miao said, still quite confident, "Old man, believe me, I didn't miss it, it must be a big fish, not the kind that likes to swim in the upper layers."

It was definitely the bigeye tuna, because just as everyone was preparing, another bigeye tuna jumped out from the depths of the ocean and swallowed a soft fish.It is strong enough and big enough, it is estimated to be about two meters long, maybe two to three hundred catties!

It was the first time to replenish tuna, which also made Zhang Miao a little excited and looking forward to it.Although this is not bluefin tuna, it is still tuna anyway. This is not bonito, which is very similar to tuna, this is real tuna!

"Dad, we'll speed up once the net hits the net." Zhang Miao said excitedly, "The fish swam very fast just now!"

Chen Xinlin in the cockpit immediately replied, "Okay, I can increase the speed to [-] knots, and the sea conditions are not bad. Pay attention, I will let you know when I speed up."

It's better to hurry up. At this time, we must seize the opportunity and try to catch more tuna.

In fact, Zhang Miao knew very well that the tuna that could be auctioned were basically caught.The way of fishing is better for protecting the quality of tuna meat.If these fish are bumped or squeezed, the quality of the fish meat will decline.Moreover, it seems that the tuna must be bled after being picked up, otherwise it will affect the quality.

Everyone seemed to be full of fighting spirit, and each and every one of them quickly threw themselves into their work.

This may not be a particularly large-scale tuna school. Zhang Miao only saw one or two fish occasionally hunting small fish such as squid.He can also judge, because he saw a bigeye tuna 'swimming out of the deep sea', swimming from east to west, which is basically going in the same direction as the fishing boat.

This is naturally good news for Zhang Miao, because it seems that there is no need to deliberately adjust the course of the fishing boat, just sail the boat directly.

Zhang Miao felt that he was playing a bit of a gamble now. The fishing nets were set deep, which was beyond his vision.This naturally means a lot of situations. Zhang Miao actually has no idea now. Whether this net will be a complete victory or nothing but joy, Zhang Miao actually has some doubts.

Believe in your own judgment, Zhang Miao feels that this is also the confidence of an experienced fisherman.He 'saw the bigeye tuna', he could judge their trajectory and guess their current range of activities, which was much better than others.

You can't just see some situations going off the net, sometimes you need to make some judgments, and it's not a bad thing to gamble.

Zhang Miao was a little nervous and looking forward to it at this time, because he probably knew something about it now.As for the others, they are undoubtedly more nervous at this time. These people don't know what kind of catch they will catch this time.

Whether there are real big fish, or the regrettable empty net, or two or three small fish, these are things they are not sure about now, and maybe they can only know some answers when the net is lifted.

At this time, perhaps there is no need to just passively wait for some news, and experienced fishermen can naturally have some of their judgments.

Zhang Liye, who had been pulling the line slightly with his hands, had a happy expression on his face. He felt that he must have caught a big fish.The feedback from the fishing net is relatively strong. This must mean that a big fish has been caught. This is definitely something to be happy about.

Big fish full of vitality, Zhang Liye even needs to start worrying about whether the fishing nets will be damaged by these big fish, and he even needs to worry about whether these fishing nets can trap these fierce-looking big fish.

It wasn't just Zhang Liye who had such a judgment, Li Haoyuan and Xu Pengfei also started to get nervous at this time, and there would be some worries.

Judging from the information currently available, this net must have caught a big fish.It's just that this big fish seems to be big and energetic, but don't be sharks, it's just a joy, those things are worthless!
Zhang Miao felt that it was necessary to continue, but Zhang Liye said, "Start with the net first, otherwise our net may not be able to support it."

Li Haoyuan immediately agreed, and he was also worried, "It seems that it has been a big fish for several days, and the strength is too strong. If you catch it any longer, the net may really not be able to hold it."

Well, Zhang Miao thinks it makes sense, although he really wants to continue the arrest.But to be safe, close the net first!
