Chapter 761: The Fishing Season Has Started
It only took a few minutes to drive from the middle of the sea to near the island.
The noon sun was particularly dazzling, shining on the sea surface sparkling, like laying a layer of glittering silver on the water surface, but a large group of white marine life swimming under the water surface ahead broke the calm water surface, and the waves rose and fell.
Ye Yaodong was happy, it came!
A large wave of squid ahead attacked!
"Eldest cousin, prepare the two hand-thrown nets, it should be busy later."
Coming early is not as good as coming by coincidence. It just happened to be the afternoon.
Although late, it is better than not coming.
The eldest cousin ran to the bow of the boat and looked, and also hurriedly prepared with a face full of joy.
Ye Yaodong found a convenient point to throw the net around, stopped the boat, and first looked at the sea in the distance. His father's boat just started to move, and slowly drove towards this side. It is estimated that the goods were collected.
And the boat further away was still working there. It is estimated that if they saw their two boats staying here, they would come over immediately.
Without communication tools, it is really troublesome.
The eldest cousin took two brand-new hand-thrown nets, and Ye Yaodong took one.
Both of them worked at the same time, and the throwing efficiency was higher.
These two new hand-thrown nets were also asked his mother to weave a while ago, and by the way, asked her to weave two more. He was complained by her, saying that the words were not finished at once, shaking twice, shaking twice, and after weaving two, then two.
His mother is really, the work that should be helped will be actively helped, but the mouth is also very nagging.
Ye Yaodong took the hand-thrown net, watching the large group of squid that had just passed by being attracted by the branches under the water, and stopped.
He first wrapped the rope on his left hand, then put the fishing net on his elbow section by section. When there was half a person's height of fishing net left, he lifted the fishing net with lead weights.
Then looking at the sea surface, after aiming at the position, he grabbed the remaining fishing net with lead weights, opened his feet in a figure-eight shape, tilted his body back and relied on the inertia of the bounce, threw it out with his right hand, and the lead weights would fly farther and scatter, and the rope in his left hand was held steady.
The eldest cousin looked at it from the side and said with a smile: "Your fishing net throwing is getting better and better."
"Isn't this a must-have for our fishermen?"
"Hehe, if it was a few years ago, your mother would definitely not think you would be so promising. If it was opened earlier, you wouldn't have to be scolded in vain for so many years."
Ye Yaodong nodded deeply. "Indeed."
He pulled the rope with his left hand and slowly collected the fishing net he just threw out.
"This net is good, just happened to see a large wave of squid swimming over, and netted one right."
"Otherwise, why say you are lucky? My aunt and uncle came out at night, and dragged the net until just now, saying that after collecting the fishing net, they would come over, but as soon as you came, you happened to meet it."
Ye Yaodong's smile deepened. "I also stepped on the time to come, look... my father and the others are also coming."
The eldest cousin looked at the boat coming in the distance and said with a smile: "I will change a position to throw the net, let's catch a little more, and when your father and the others come over, just show them."
A large group of squid came to spawn. Don't look at the large quantity, but it was quite scattered, because the branches were scattered, and it was impossible to catch them all in one net.
When Ye Yaodong threw the net just now, he tried his best to avoid the branches, not because he was afraid of catching the squid eggs, but because he was afraid that a large amount of branches would be entangled in the fishing net and easily damage it.
The squid eggs were brought up by the branches, and he collected some. Anyway, he didn't collect it, everyone would collect it. It's not that he didn't collect it alone, and the fishing season would always exist for decades.
Anyway, there were various factors for not forming a fishing season. It wasn't that he didn't collect it alone, but he wouldn't specifically fish for those that were not brought up by the branches. It was better to leave a descendant for others, and couldn't exterminate the nine clans.
He threw this net very accurately, and it was when a large wave of squid just came over. It was not very difficult to drag in the water, but when it came out of the water, it was particularly testing his arm strength.
Just throwing it, this net of his had seventy or eighty jin, plus water.
He grinned and moved the fishing net against the boat, bit by bit, and the biceps on his arm directly bulged.
When Ye Fu's fishing boat approached, he just happened to see that large bag of goods pulled out of the water surface. The seawater under the fishing net flowed down with a splash, and the deck underneath was also stained black by the ink.
The eldest cousin also followed him, and also threw a large bag of squid on the deck, but he was short, and not only was his body splashed with ink, but even his face was splashed black.
The quantity in this net of his was relatively small, estimated to be ten or twenty jin, and it couldn't be compared with this bag of Ye Yaodong's, no wonder the speed of collection was so fast.
After Ye Yaodong glanced at it, he first took a water bucket, took down the branches hooked on the fishing net, by the way, took the squid eggs on it and put them into the water bucket, and then put the branches back into the sea in a series.
In total, not many were taken. These squid were also just swimming over, and most of them were caught before they had time to lay eggs.
After taking the branches down, he untied the fishing net, lifted a large net of squid and put it in the basket, then pulled the fishing net and slowly poured it into the basket.
According to him, the quantity of this net should be 40 or 50 jin, enough.
The eldest cousin also dragged his basket over with a black face, and the two baskets of goods were placed together. "Still your net has more quantity."
"After all, just swimming over, the first net thrown down is quite material."
"Today should be considered the first day of the fishing season, must remember the time, refer to this time next year."
"Where can it be accurate, let's get busy for a while, see if there will be any later."
"Don't know, let's continue to work."
Both of them threw the net again, but the quantity harvested was less than once. After all, the fishing season just started, and there was no large batch coming over at the beginning. After entering the peak season, it would be possible to fish every afternoon.
The two nets they threw later added up to only twenty or thirty jin, and the sum was not as much as Ye Yaodong's first net.
Three bamboo baskets were placed together and were not full. The eldest cousin asked hesitantly: "Still want to continue throwing the net? Looking at it, it seems there is not much quantity. The large wave that just came over is estimated to be scattered, and most of them should have swum forward."
"Staying here is indeed a waste of time. This quantity is definitely not that much at the beginning. Go to my father's side and see. If there is not much quantity on their side, then go to collect the net."
"Okay, I'll drive the boat."
Ye Yaodong also lifted the sun hat on his head and fanned it. In the hot weather, the head was stuffy there, and it was uncomfortable to be sweating profusely.
He casually put it aside first, lifted a basket with the least quantity and merged it into two baskets, saving a little bit of things occupying several baskets.
Just when pouring, the remaining remnants sprayed his face unceremoniously, and finally he didn't escape a disaster.
When the fishing boat approached his father's boat, he looked at the harvest on their boat, and found that it was not as good as his, because the quantity swimming to this side was diverted.
He also told his father that when he went over just now, he happened to meet a large wave of squid coming over, and almost didn't have time to throw the net, but also netted a tail of the squid group.
They didn't go anywhere for the rest of the afternoon, just waiting for the rabbit there, seeing squid coming over, and then throwing the net to catch.
This quantity has many and few, there are large stocks, small stocks, and sometimes the interval is particularly long, making him bored and itchy, wanting to jump into the water to take a look.
But can only think about it, sitting there idle can only gnaw tomatoes, chat.
Until the sun was about to set, Ye Yaodong saw that there was no squid swimming over for a long time nearby, and planned to give up, first go to collect the ground cages and shrimp cages.
There was no harvest for a day, but fortunately it was quite smooth today, none of them were hooked to the bottom, and the time put down was long enough, and the harvest was also quite good. Although some fish and shrimp collected were dead, the freshness was okay.
Ye Yaodong also lifted the sun hat off his head and fanned himself. On such a hot day, having his head stifled under there and being drenched in sweat was quite uncomfortable.
"Try more to know which fishing net is efficient and can make money, and it is nothing to prepare two or three copies of simple fishing nets on the boat for emergencies. Long-line fishing is indeed a bit troublesome, but it is specialized in fishing big fish."
It's just that he felt that this year's drag net was also okay, so he didn't specifically put it. After all, drag nets don't need much manpower now, have machines to collect, and long-line fishing, he still has to hang bait hook by hook, put it one by one, collect it one by one, put it and collect it every day, too time-consuming...
Anyway, in a word, he is lazy.
"Then still feel drag net is good?"
"No, just feel it saves trouble, at most occasionally there are many holes, repair the fishing net."
Ye Yaodong told the truth. "Different fish goods mostly have different targeted fishing nets, hard to say good or bad, all depend on personal needs."
It's just that the types of fishing nets now don't seem to be that many. After all, many sea goods don't have much value now, can't compare to the crazy rise later, and then there are more targeted fishing nets.
"That's true, some people feel that the price of shrimp is high, specifically putting shrimp cages instead of ground cages."
"Then this shrimp cage of mine is not what I want to toss, my aunt took it to my father."
