Ye Yaodong quickly pulled up the second net, casually poured it into the basket and continued to scatter, while it was just scattered, to see if he could catch two more.
It just backfired, and it was too late when he cast the third net.
When the fishing net was pulled up, it was empty inside, er, there were two small sugar shrimps inside.
He shook the fishing net, grabbed the two small sugar shrimps in his hand, and threw them into the basket casually, "Damn it, so fast? Fortunately, I also caught two nets, and it's not a loss."
"Look at it later, it was changed just now."
"Go to the elder brother and the second brother to have a look."
Father Ye nodded, and steered the boat towards Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, keeping an eye on the sea.
Ye Yaodong was the same, watching all directions and listening to all directions, and they didn't get off the net at the moment. Wherever there was a splash, they could go there immediately without any delay.
I was caught off guard in the front, what a pity.
Just waited for them to pay attention, but it didn't show up again.
"Father, Dongzi, how many nets did you cast just now? How much did you catch? I think your boat has been here for a long time, did you catch a lot?" Ye Yaopeng asked as soon as the boat approached.
"Only two nets, about seven or eighty catties. It's a pity, I saw it a long time ago, but I was trawling the nets and couldn't spare."
"That's it, that's a pity. I saw you were around, and I thought you had caught a lot of nets. We didn't see it at first. We were cooking and eating, and sorting fish by the way. Who knew it would appear so soon today. gone?"
Um?
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "It appeared so soon today? Then there was yesterday?"
Ye Yaohua said honestly: "Yes, in the last two or three days, there have been frequent squid boils in the surrounding waters. Yesterday, it seemed at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, we happened to be fishing for squid. We saw it from a distance, and it was easy to drive there. It took a hundred catties."
"Yes, it also appeared the day before yesterday, but we only saw it when we were about to go back the day before yesterday, and we only caught fifty or sixty catties. Seeing that it was getting dark, we hurried back."
Father Ye was surprised, "That lasted for many days."
"That's right, all the mullet fish caught have roe in their stomachs, so it's probably spawning time."
"Well, mullet roe is a good thing."
"It boiled twice just now, I don't know if there is any more, I guess...here it is...over there..." Ye Yaodong was just halfway speaking when he saw a large number of black mullets jumping around in the east, and he was excited again instantly up.
As soon as the voice fell, he immediately ran to set off the boat. This time it seemed that he was still far away, but fortunately he had good eyesight.
Ye Yaopeng heard the reminder and hurried to sail.
The two boats headed east one after the other, and the other boat next to it didn't know whose family it was, and it seemed to have seen it and followed closely behind.
This time they came in time, without being delayed, they actually caught up directly.
When they approached, the seabirds heard the news and flew over faster than them, and small fish were picked up from time to time in midair.
As soon as Ye Yaodong drove the boat to the front, he immediately anchored it. Father Ye had already held the net in his hand when he sailed, and as soon as the boat slowed down and stopped, he immediately cast the net.
Father and son cooperate tacitly.
When Ye Yaodong walked over, Father Ye was putting away his net, and saw the mullets on the sea surface were still jumping non-stop, unaffected by their three fishing boats at all.
Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand to help pull together. There are large and small in this net, and it seems that there are quite a lot of them.
He took an empty bamboo basket from the side, and as soon as he untied the fishing net, the black mullet fell into the bamboo basket with a clatter, and was still jumping there when it was poured in, and several of them jumped out on the deck, full of vitality. full.
The father and son were overjoyed.
Fish schools are better, the goods are delivered quickly, and you can catch them once you throw them away.
Father Ye tidied it up a little bit and then threw it away, while Ye Yaodong picked up the mullet fish bouncing all over the floor into the basket.
Looking not far away, he saw that his eldest brother and second brother had just finished one net and were about to cast the second net.
This time it was better than the previous two rounds. After three nets were caught, the fish was gone.
Father Ye held the fishing net in his hand, looked at the sea and thought, "Why is this fish still like this? Shoot it and change its position."
"Who knows, just take a break in the intermission and see if there are any more? These fish dived into the water, but they didn't know which direction they swam."
"Isn't this a delay? It took several minutes to get the boat here, otherwise I could have cast two more nets... Where can I find it now?"
"I'm going to sail the boat and take a look around."
"I want to run along, but I still can't see the shadow." Father Ye murmured and dragged the fish around his feet to the corner, took out ice cubes from the cabin and sprinkled them on, and covered them with some torn clothes , to block the sun.
This is not good when the weather is hot, and you have to buy extra ice cubes, otherwise the fish will stink in the sun, which is just another expense.
"Dongzi, when you get back, cut a piece of awning and tie it to the top, otherwise it will be too hot when the weather gets hot."
"good."
Last year, the roof of the small wooden boat was too empty to cover. This iron boat has a small cabin, which can be tied up, and the other side can be tied to the mast.
Their fishing boat started to patrol the surroundings, and the other two boats also started to move, thinking to try their luck again to see if they could still meet them?
Trawling is not as fast as receiving fish.
Ye Yaodong not only looked around and listened to all directions, but also kept an eye on the seabirds flying on the sea. Seeing that many seabirds were flying to the northeast at this moment, he followed the seabirds and drove in that direction.
Generally, where seabirds gather, there will be schools of fish, and the mullet schools just a few times have attracted seabirds.
The two brothers Ye Yaopeng saw that Ye Yaodong's boat was suddenly far away. They didn't know what was going on, but they followed them.
The other boat thought they had given up their search and left, ignoring them and continuing to circle around.
Ye Yaodong drove along the direction where a flock of seabirds were flying, and saw more and more seabirds suddenly flying, and his confidence suddenly increased.
"Dongzi, why are you driving here? Since you can't find it, there is no more, let's continue to release Internet cafes, don't waste time and delay. There is still time now, and we can cast another net. After the release, it is just right to go fishing with the longline .”
"Dad, don't you see that there are more and more seabirds flying in this direction?"
"Oh? It seems to be."
"Follow me and open a section to have a look."
After driving for another minute or two, Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up instantly when he saw a large number of seabirds gathering in the distant sea area to hunt for prey.
His judgment was not wrong!
"Fish school!" Father Ye was overjoyed, "I didn't expect to come so far suddenly, I almost missed it."
"Father, you prepare the net, did the big brother and the second brother's boat catch up?"
"Yes...the other boat did not catch up."
"Um."
Still a school of mullet, but this time it seems a little smaller? Those fish that have been boiling and jumping seem to be only about three feet wide?
He parked the boat and walked over to help pull it.
"This net is so small?"
Father Ye also saw it, "It's nothing compared to the few nets you dragged just now. This net seems to be only about three fingers wide."
"Yes, this net is very small, almost the same as the smallest one in the previous few nets, and there is no big one."
"It may not be the same wave. I don't know where the previous wave went. No wonder I ran so far to see it."
"Should be, never mind, catch first."
Anyway, it can be sold for money.
The brothers Ye Yaopeng on the next boat were also very happy, "Fortunately, they followed up."
"Yeah, I didn't expect to have it after running so far."
"Dad must be very experienced."
"It's possible, just this time, the size seems a bit small, and it must not be the same wave as before."
"Well, it was almost dark the day before yesterday, and I was in a hurry to go back. There was no other way. I didn't look around yesterday. It's a pity."
"Yeah, I thought it was just that, but I didn't expect them to jump around."
"So Dad has rich experience."
"Father is a bit older after all, he also worked as a boatman, knows a lot and has experience..."
The two brothers chatted while pulling the net.
This wave didn’t last long, and they caught two more nets before disappearing again.
"What kind of plane are you doing? Can't last longer? It's gone after just two strokes." Ye Yaodong was a little depressed, it took a lot of effort to find them, but they disappeared after two strokes.
"Hey, look again, it's still early anyway, so wait a little longer."
Seeing that they had gained a lot, they continued to search and chase, and Ye Yaopeng and his boat followed them all the time. They felt that Father Ye was experienced, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with following.
It's so hard to die, they really found it again.
“It feels like a treasure hunt!”
"Quickly, Dongzi drove faster, but when he got there, he disappeared."
"The mouth of a crow..."
But the crow's mouth is the most brilliant...
This time, when they arrived, it happened to be gone.
Father Ye couldn't help but slapped his mouth several times, "It's really a crow's mouth."
"Come on, it's a step late, let's keep looking, remember to say something good."
"Oh, who knew such an aura? I hit it right after I said it, look, hey... Those seabirds flew there, northwest...! Fly there..."
"Hmm..." His eyesight is much better than his father's, so there's no need to remind him.
It was not until three more waves of pursuit and more than 200 catties were caught that Ye Yaodong gave up. The sun was about to set, and they had to go to collect longlines, and they could only go home after they had collected.
One afternoon, they were looking for mullet shoals, followed them to shoot and exchange shots, and the harvest was quite impressive, collecting more than 400 catties.
There are also a lot of black mullet harvested on the longline fishing. Today, they sold almost 60 yuan for black mullet alone, and nearly 80 yuan for other fish products. Today is also a good deal.
After tasting the sweetness, the father and son plan to spend the next few days in this sea area.
Just to avoid the limelight and make more money.
