Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 189
After collecting three soft silks in a row, another devil fish came up, it was not too big, Ye Yaodong held it by the nose without showing martial ethics, pulled it up roughly, and threw it on the boat for his father to tidy up.

So ugly and so small, don't expect him to be gentle.

After loading 5 in a row, the hook was empty again, and the fish meat on it was still hanging there, and there may be no fish to bite.

This time when he went out to sea, he hung a variety of baits, some with shrimp baits, and some with various fish pieces, because they were all pulled up from ground cages, and small fish of different species were cut and used as bait , Those who wish to take the bait.

Ye Yaodong continued to reel in the line and open the blind box. He knew it was another big fish when he pulled it.
"Oh, mackerel, it weighs 5 catties!"

This longline fishing is more interesting than trawling nets and ground cages. There are no small fish on the branch line, and the trawl nets and ground cages pull up a pile at once. Although it is also very cool, it lacks a little feeling.

Father Ye was also happy to pick up the goods and let the blood out. He didn't expect that the longline fishing was quite easy to use. Every fish was not small. in a basket.

Ye Yaodong's shipments were also very good. The quality of the fish in the coastal waters was higher than that in the coastal area, and there were more big fish. It may also be that the baits they used were relatively large.

In this era, the ocean was not overfished. Except for a few species that were scarce, most of the resources were still very rich. Decades later, there are still many animals under second-level protection and first-level protection.

Ye Yaodong hung the bait while collecting, and it was already two hours after collecting the thousand hooks, if he didn't feel tired, he could go back and collect the bait again from the beginning.

It’s just that he is inexperienced this time, and he brought too little bait. 1000 hooks need 1000 baits. The small fish that caught dozens of kilograms yesterday were all used to make up the number, which was not enough bait. After the second time of baiting, The washbasin and bucket are all empty.

Father Ye also saw that there was no bait after packing up the goods, and murmured: "This bait is used up a little too quickly? When I cut it in the morning, there was still a big washbasin and several catties of shrimp."

"No, there were only three to five hundred hooks to try to release before. I left all the small fish and shrimps on purpose yesterday, and didn't take them to dry, so they weren't enough."

"Go back tonight and ask your elder brother and second brother to keep all the small fish and shrimp. You can pay some money to collect it, otherwise the bait is not enough, what to do?"

"I came out late today. If I go out at night tomorrow, I will not be able to double the bait. If I go to the pier to collect fish and shrimps, I can get a lot of money. Small fish and shrimps can't be sold for much, and most people can't buy them." I want to keep it and eat it, but I don’t want to sell it.”

Thinking about Father Ye made my heart ache. I originally thought that longline fishing would be so efficient, that you could stock up one after another, and only catch big fish, not small ones. It was too strong.

Looking at it this way now, it costs a lot of money to buy the bait alone, as well as the diesel fee and wages. If the couple go to sea, they can save a wage.

Looking at it this way, unless the fish on the market is plentiful and good, it may not be comparable to trawling.

Trawl nets have everything.

Ye Yaodong also felt that it was a bit of a waste of bait, the amount of worthless small fish and shrimp pulled up from the ground cage was not enough to support his longline fishing, and fish that could be sold for a price must not be used as bait.

"I'll tell my eldest brother and second brother when I go back at night. I will take all the fish and shrimp from him that can't be sold at a price."

The bait has been hung up, and after the second wave is finished, they also have to take up the line and return. They are not in a hurry for this wave, they have enough time, and plan to put it on for a longer time, and it is only 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Father Ye was going to lie down and squint for a while, while Ye Yaodong went to look at the harvest just now.

Soft silk caught a bucket full of them, and they were all packed, weighing more than ten catties.

In terms of fish, the 20-jin yellowtail is the biggest, and there are many other big fish. The most is the mackerel. There are many varieties of black sea bream, red sea bream, sea wolf, etc., but the weight is different.

There were many baits that didn't move, and there were quite a few fish that ran away with empty hooks, but the harvest from a single rope was also considerable, Ye Yaodong's visual estimation was already worth tens of dollars.

This is only one time, if you go out at night and collect more times, the day will not be old or young. If there is not enough bait, it is worthwhile to buy some.

Ye Yaodong woke up the sleeping and snoring father Ye when it was around three o'clock, and planned to continue to take up the line, and just returned home for dinner.

The sea here is far away, not the coast. Ye Yaodong intends to gather the fishing line together while harvesting, so it is not suitable to leave it overnight.

After collecting three Spanish mackerel in a row, a cuttlefish (squid) came up. Ye Yaodong was afraid that its ink would spray his face. When he picked the hook, he stretched his arms to grab it. Then he turned his face to the side, only to see a trawl The fishing boat was slowly heading towards them.

He didn't take it seriously, and it's not uncommon to run into fishing boats that are working. You do what you do, and I do what you do, without interfering with each other.

However, the surrounding sea surface not far from the fishing boat was sparkling, which immediately attracted his attention, and then a big fish rushed towards the front sea area from far to near, at different speeds, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the left. right.

He also forgot to take up the line for a moment, and looked at the tin boat that trawled the net. The fishing boat reacted quickly, turned around and chased after the big fish, trying to drag it into the net.

Seeing him looking into the distance, Father Ye also looked over, but there was nothing special about it. There was only one fishing boat working, but he was driving a little faster. The normal speed of trawling was 3 to 5 knots.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and take up the line, and go home after finishing."

"I just saw a big fish and it looks like the boat is going after that big fish now."

"What's the matter with us?"

"That boat is coming our way."

Seeing the boat getting closer and closer to him, Father Ye also looked over.

I don't know if a big fish has been caught in the net, but the boat slowed down, and it was just in front of them, only a few meters away from them, and then I saw them collecting the nets there.

Father Ye patted him on the shoulder, "What's there to see? I'll accept your goods."

"Oh." He was actually curious, wondering if they caught that big fish, and what kind of fish was that big fish?Looking at the movement on the sea at that time, the fish seemed to be quite big, and he felt a little itchy in his heart.

Just as he turned his head, he heard a sudden exclamation from that boat. The distance was too close, and it was hard for him not to hear it.

But he couldn't see it, so he had no choice but to give up temporarily, regardless of the movement over there, and continue to draw the line.

But he was pleasantly surprised when he got started, it was difficult to pull the line with his hand, and the waves stirred up on the water splashed on his face, he dragged slowly and carefully so as not to be run away, until the body of the fish came out of the water!

"Bomb fish? No, it's tuna, dad, come on, get a net with your hands! It's tuna!" Ye Yaodong shouted excitedly to his dad.

This one looks to be more than one meter. This is the biggest catch today, and it is much more valuable than the yellowtail yellowtail that escaped before. We can't let it escape now.

After he pulled the fish to the surface of the sea, he didn't dare to pull it hard, waiting for his father to catch it with a net.

He slowly pulled and sawed with it, the water splashed so badly that his face and Father Ye's face and body were splashed wet by its churning water. Scoop the net to catch it.

But this fish was very big. Father Ye didn't check it for a while and let it flip out. Fortunately, the fishhook caught it and didn't let it escape.

Father Ye got his sights right again, holding the handle of the net with both hands, he fished it up and threw it onto the deck in one breath.

Only then did the two of them see clearly that it was an albacore tuna, and their happy faces immediately burst into smiles.

"It's albacore tuna!"

This fish has a torpedo shape and smooth skin. He recognized its species at a glance because its first dorsal fin is dark yellow, its second dorsal fin is light yellow, its back has a dark blue metallic luster, and its edges and belly are silvery white.

This kind of albacore tuna is widely distributed in various seas in China, as well as in seas all over the world.

There are many kinds of tuna, such as bluefin tuna, albacore tuna, bluefin tuna, bigeye tuna, and blackfin tuna, etc. The best one is of course bluefin tuna, but albacore tuna is not bad.

This one is about 1 meters long, and its size is absolutely top-notch.

After the albacore was thrown onto the deck, it bounced a few times and swung its tail. Ye Yaodong planned to bleed him while it was still alive, and then let his father take up the line.

He wanted to handle such a top-quality tuna himself, and it was the first time he encountered it after being reborn in this life.

At this time, the boat in front also sailed towards them, approaching their boat.

"Hey, you also caught a tuna?" A short, dark, middle-aged man leaned against the side of the boat, stretching his neck to look at the albacore tuna on their boat.

Ye Yaodong was curious about what kind of fish they found on the Internet just now, and said with a smile, "Uncle, I saw a big fish on the sea just now, did you catch it?"

The short, dark, middle-aged man smiled smugly, "Yes, the one I caught just now is bigger than you and worth more than your albacore. It's a yellowfin tuna."

Father Ye said enviously: "Really? You are so lucky, we have seen it before."

"It was chasing a school of anchovies. We dragged the net to the front and found that part of its body had come out of the water, so we chased it. Unexpectedly, we actually caught it."

"It's a school of anchovies, no wonder, I just said that fish looked like it was hunting." Ye Yaodong felt a little regretful, the yellowfin tuna was also top quality.

"Lucky, we saw it as soon as our boat came over, and then caught it immediately. You can't do it, you actually use this kind of longline fishing. If you also trawl in this sea area, you probably already fell into your net. .”

Ye Yaodong shrugged, "Albacore tuna is not bad, not much difference."

A middle-aged woman on that boat, probably his wife, also said at this time, "Who said, it's much worse, okay? The yellowfin tuna is much better than yours, show them."

"I'll show you, I just finished bleeding." The short, dark, middle-aged man was really happy, and proudly pulled out the yellowfin tuna, held it in his hand and showed it to them, triumphantly, "Look Come on, this head, this golden fin, isn't it beautiful?"

Ye Yaodong also saw it, it was indeed bigger than them.

The woman also said proudly, "It's better than yours, right? It's so big, it's so rare for this fish to appear in the sea..."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a sea wave rolled over, and the boat shook for a while, and the body of the middle-aged man also swayed. He couldn't hold it firmly in his hands, and his pupils constricted in shock.

"Ahhh~"

"Ah~ fish... my fish..."

That yellowfin tuna fell straight into the ocean...

The middle-aged man reacted quickly and immediately leaned half of his body out of the side of the boat, trying to catch the fish. When he went to see him, he only touched the tail of the fish, and the yellowfin tuna sank directly.

The woman also rushed to the side of the boat excitedly, leaned out half of her body, stretched out her arms, but only touched the sea water.

"Ahhh~ my tuna..."
