After leaving the coast, we did not launch the net immediately because the late rain would cause great obstacles to the fishing boats.
This will greatly reduce the power, which will not only slow down the forward speed of the fishing boat, but also consume a lot of diesel.
Therefore, in places that are not suitable for fishing, no one will choose to set down the net, because every time the net is set down, it means losing dozens of yuan in gas expenses.
Of course, if it is purely for fun, then there will be no problem wherever you go. The air force will definitely not appear, because there are still many creatures in the ocean. But if you go to the net casually, the most likely thing is that you will have a lot of shrimps, soldiers, and crabs in your head.
There is no value in going back.
"Anchor, where are we going now? Are we going to fish in the high seas?",
"I don't think I remember going fishing on the high seas. It seems I need to get a certificate."
"Probably not. Those that go fishing on the high seas are usually large fishing boats. They are too small at this time."
"Is this fishing boat still small? It's more than 30 meters long."
"Why did the anchor switch to your live broadcast again? I want to watch the young lady's live broadcast."
"Yes, yes, we are going to watch the live broadcast of the young lady. You should go and take a rest. It is too hard."
Li Xiao curled his lips when he saw the barrage, "Good guy, it's a lie to say that I work hard and let me rest. It's true that I want to see my cousin."
Li Xiao coughed lightly and told the audience today's destination.
There was an uproar in the live broadcast room instantly
"No, isn't that place the junction of three countries? Wouldn't it be too dangerous?"
"Where is the danger? There are so many patrol boats on the border of the Han Dynasty, why are we still afraid of them??"
“What do we have to worry about fishing offshore in our own country?”
"I often hear that there are some disputes over there from time to time. Why don't we host a different place?"
"Dispute? I don't want to see it if there isn't one. What I like to see most is when there is a dispute."
“I wonder if there will be a fight? I’m excited just thinking about it!!”
"Calm down upstairs, guns are banned in our country. What do you want the anchor to use to fight with others, a camera?"
"Even if there is a problem, there won't be a fight. The most it will be is a verbal spat."
After chatting for about ten minutes, Li Xiao stopped communicating with the audience in the live broadcast room and started helping Uncle San and the others organize their equipment on the boat.
Since the conditions in the sea area we went out to were more complicated, the tools we were equipped with were much more complicated than those on my uncle's bed.
Li Xiao helped his cousin fix the crab pot on the stern of the boat and introduced it to the live broadcast room.
"These cages are crab pots specially used for catching crabs. As you can see, their ropes are extremely long and can be placed directly on the seabed."
"Of course, this is only a crab pot for offshore use. If you want to go out to the ocean to catch crabs, then the spool may be several times larger than this one."
As he spoke, he patted the spool behind the crab pot, which was twice as thick as his waist. The line on it was dozens of meters long, which was more than enough to cope with shallow waters.
This time I went out to sea with my third uncle, and there were three other fishing boats, all of which were fishermen who were familiar with my third uncle.
After all, the sea area we are going to is somewhat controversial, so it is still necessary to form cliques. After all, if something goes wrong, the quarrel between four ships will definitely be louder than that of one ship.
"The sea conditions are now reported to be Category 3 northeasterly winds, the temperature is 18 degrees, and there are no obvious cyclonic changes in the nearby sea areas. You can continue to move forward."
"Received on No. 02"
"Received on 03rd"
"Received on the 04th," the third uncle pressed the intercom and said.
Except for the leading fishing boat No. 01, which is a large fishing boat with a length of 40 meters, the other fishing boats are all small in size of 20 to 30 meters. Of course, this is only a relative term.
The third uncle looked at the white clouds in the distance, felt the cool breeze blowing around him, and said with a smile
"The weather is very good today, and the wind direction is also good. I think we can return with a full load today."
"Okay, I appreciate your words, Lao Liang." No. 02 replied.
"I also wish everyone good luck." No. 03 replied.
"Okay, everyone, keep communicating at all times. If anything happens, press the intercom immediately." Flagship No. 01 said.
The collections are not juxtaposed. After all, there are winds and waves on the sea, and in order to prevent emergencies, the four ships were arranged in a diamond formation. The largest ship served as the flagship and opened the way at the front, while No. 02 and No. 03
On both sides of the team, Sanjiu's boat No. 04 followed at the end of the team.
As expected, the weather was calm today. We did not encounter any cross winds or storms. The subtropical weather made the sea not very cold even in winter. A few white clouds floated in the sky from time to time, which made Li Xiao feel
Very comfortable.
The team walked farther and farther, and finally arrived at the predetermined fishing location. The intercom that had been quiet for a long time rang again.
"Okay, we have arrived at the designated place. You can start to move away, but be sure to keep an eye on your radar and never cross the boundary. Keep a distance of more than 10 kilometers from the coastline. If you encounter any situation, report it immediately."
"clear."
After all, although it is said that we need to help each other, when it comes to fishing, the number of fish schools is certain. If they gather together to fish in the same place, the harvest will inevitably decrease sharply.
Therefore, after arriving at the predetermined target location, fishing boats grouped together will still fish a few kilometers apart. This is everyone's default rule.
And everyone will try to choose different goals so that there won’t be too many conflicts.
Li Xiao pointed the camera at the sea, and white figures kept passing by under the deep blue sea. They were schools of fish passing by in groups.
It is indeed a place where ocean currents converge. If there are enough microorganisms and small fish and shrimps, it will be enough to attract enough predators.
However, these smart predators do not leave immediately after a meal.
Most marine organisms have the habit of storing energy. They will stay here with this ocean current, and they will not start migrating until the direction of the ocean current changes.
Therefore, many fishing boats do not arrive at the same destination for fishing every time they go to sea, because what can be caught at each point in time is completely different.
Like this sea area at your feet, the ocean currents only gather here in winter and only in winter. In these short four months, you can fish for a long time. If you come here to fish at other times, you will not gain much.
The second uncle's boat did not continue trawling operations like others. The main thing he wanted to come here this time was to catch a kind of long-legged crab that is abundant here.
There are actually quite abundant crab resources in offshore waters. The most common ones are three-spot crabs and orchid crabs. However, these two species usually only live in shallow waters above 20 meters deep.
The target of Uncle San's trip this time was a kind of crab called Asian cherry blossom long-legged crab.
The main reason why the income of the third uncle's family is unstable is because the third uncle is too obsessed with catching this kind of long-legged crab, and it is actually very difficult to catch this kind of long-legged crab, so every time he goes to sea, it is like trying to win a prize.
If you are lucky and have a lot of harvest, then the harvest this time can be worth less than half a year.
However, if you are unlucky, you will almost lose all your money, and there will be no capital preservation or small loss.
Of course, in fact, Third Uncle's behavior has been denounced by countless people, but unfortunately he still refuses to change his ways. There is nothing that can be done about it.
Li Xiao looked at Uncle San, who was setting down the crab pot with a hopeful look on his face, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Forget it, I have been trying for most of my life, and it is not bad a few times. Anyway, if I start the live broadcast here in the future, the environment for my cousin and cousin should be better.
The crab pot, which was more than ten meters long, was slowly lowered into the sea water. 3 Then he happily said to Li Xiao, who was still broadcasting.
"It will definitely work this time. I have studied it. The direction of this ocean current happens to be from the deep sea port of Sakura Country. According to the habits of those Sakura long-legged crabs, they will follow their prey to migrate towards the ocean current. It is absolutely true.
of."
Li Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth, but it was not good for him as a junior to slap him in the face in front of tens of thousands of spectators.
As a junior, it was not once or twice that he went to sea with his third uncle. He had heard similar words many times.
In fact, the third uncle is now like a gambler who has lost his mind and is unwilling to leave the gambling table at all.
An unexpected bumper harvest when he was young made him famous throughout the village and even Yangjiang City.
When I mentioned him back then, others would follow up with the same sentence
"Are you talking about that kid who scooped up a large boatload of cherry blossom crabs at once? He's so awesome, so awesome."
The adulation from everyone and the pleasure of getting rich overnight made the third uncle, who was only in his early 20s, somewhat lose himself.
After that time, he no longer looked down on ordinary trawling. After all, he thought that as long as he succeeded once, his profit would be dozens of times that of ordinary trawling.
Once, twice, and three times, repeated failures appeared in the hands of the third uncle. He began to constantly move fishing locations, but this approach had little effect.
I don’t know whether it was luck or whether it was calculated by my third uncle, but I did catch this kind of cherry blossom long-legged crab several times later.
Although the harvest is far less than the first time, even so, the income is much higher than normal trawling.
With the success story, Uncle San became even more obsessed with fishing for this kind of cherry blossom long-legged crab.
He even went to the Sakura Country alone to ask local fishermen for advice on how to hunt this cherry blossom long-legged crab.
Later, I purchased a set of expensive crab-replenishing equipment. The most important thing is that this equipment was purchased with a loan.
He once heard his mother say that the loan has not been paid off even now, so that his 19-year-old cousin still wears a patched coat at home.
Li Xiao was actually a little angry at his third uncle. He was completely immersed in his own world and couldn't extricate himself.
No wonder many people say that they are most afraid of becoming famous at a young age and making a lot of quick money at a young age.
Because he has the experience of making quick money, he has no regard for other jobs that make slow money.
After all, if you can earn thousands of dollars by working one or two hours a night, why would you continue to work hard at a job that only earns thousands of dollars a month?
While showing the surrounding scenery to the audience in the live broadcast room, Li Xiao began to set up fishing rods on the fishing boat.
Rather than saying that we came here to fish this afternoon, it is better to say that we actually used it for sea fishing.
Li Xiao had no expectations at all for this fishing trip. After all, his third uncle had failed too many times.
At this time, many viewers in the live broadcast room asked in confusion
"Hey, why does the anchor not need to sail the trawl today? He can just wait here??"
"Aren't you paying attention to the class upstairs? Didn't the anchor's third uncle say that he's here to make up for it this time?"
"What's the difference between crabs and fishing? Shouldn't they both be dragged away? The greater the fishing area, the greater the harvest!"
Li Xiao explained while arranging the fishing rod in his hand
"Normal fishing involves casting a wide net, but crabs are different. They move in relatively deep sea areas, and they like to move and hunt on the seabed. Generally speaking, you need to put down the crab pot quietly and put enough bait in it.
, and then just wait quietly for them to take the bait."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiao had already hung a finger-long small fish on the fishhook, and then with a beautiful shake, the small fish fell into the water and kept flopping in the water.
"The anchor is so cruel, he actually uses live fish as bait."
"You don't think it's cruel to use earthworms as bait, but why do you think it's cruel to use small miscellaneous fish as bait?"
"After all, the sizes of the things you catch are different. When fishing in the sea, your bait is too small, and the sea fish below will not even want to take a second look."
"The anchor is too unskilled in sea fishing. We all use fake bait and rely on our superb lure skills to catch the fish."
"There's no such thing as skill. Being able to catch fish is skill."
“Seaside lure people look down on fishing in Dawotai, people fishing on Dawotai look down on fishing in reservoirs, and people fishing in reservoirs look down on fishing in fish ponds.”
"Those who look down on the anchor are all new here, right? Didn't the slap in the face hurt enough?"
"There is a saying, fishing for shrimps, fishing for octopus and fishing are completely different, not to mention fishing for big fish."
...
A smile appeared on Li Xiao's lips, but his eyes were not fixed on the float.
After all, live fishing is now only for the viewers in the live broadcast room. Of course it is the best if you can catch fish. If you can't catch fish, you still have to chat with everyone, so he pays more attention to watching the barrage in the live broadcast room.
While chatting, he controlled the drone in the sky to bring different scenery to the audience, but soon his mind returned to the fishing rod in his hand.
Because he could clearly feel that the pulling force of the fishing rod in his hand had obviously increased.
Although the little miscellaneous fish that was thrown in just now is not dead and will keep flopping in the water, but with his size, there is no way he can exert such pulling force. It is obvious that something has bitten the small fish.
He quickly began to gently shake the fishing rod in his hand, and slowly retracted the reel in his hand, but the extent of the retraction was very slight.
The reason why he did this was not to pull the fish up as quickly as possible, but to create the illusion of the small fish struggling.
When the prey finds food in its mouth and wants to escape, it will bite hard and try to pull the food into its mouth.
It will make the prey completely bite the hook. After pulling for half a minute, Li Xiao felt the fishing rod in his hand suddenly sink. He knew that the prey should have bitten the fishhook. The fishhook caused damage to the prey's mouth, and it began to sense that something was wrong and began to resist.
Woke up.
At this time, Li Xiao did not use any force to fight against this prey, because the system's [Proficiency in Shrimp Fishing] allowed him to roughly estimate that the fish that bit the hook weighed about 10 kilograms, and his strength was quite large.
When facing big fish, especially fish with relatively strong strength, they should not rush to retrieve the reel after taking the bait. Instead, they should put the fishing line longer to engage in a tug-of-war with the opponent.
After all, the endurance of normal-sized fish can never be as strong as that of humans.
The audience in the live broadcast room immediately stopped the discussion because the discussion was meaningless.
"Did you see it? I didn't say anything. I'll just say that the anchor's fishing skills are awesome."
"It's really strong. It only took a few minutes to catch fish."
"Good guy, I'm really straight up. Look at the curvature of this fishing rod, the fish below is quite small."
"Based on my many years of fishing experience, I can tell that this fish is over 10 kilograms or even bigger. After all, I have never fished in the sea. I have only fished in diving reservoirs."
"I'm sorry. What I said was that I looked down on others and still used live bait. I apologize to the anchor."
“The people upstairs are so brave and don’t disgrace our lures!!”
"Why are the anchors still letting the money out? Shouldn't they be pulling in the fish?"
"The anchor wants to use up the fish's physical strength so that it will not be easily decoupled."
The struggle between man and fish didn't last long. After all, it was just a small fish of about 10 pounds. In the hands of an adult male like Li Xiao, it couldn't cause much trouble at all.
Feeling that the opponent's strength was gradually weakening, Li Xiao smiled, but he did not show off proudly in the live broadcast room.
After all, the fish hasn't come up yet. If it gets decoupled, it would be ridiculous. He is a very cautious person.
Slowly rewind the reel, and the fishhook will shrink with the reel, pulling the fish toward the side of the fishing boat.
A silver-white sea fish was finally pulled above the water by Li Xiao. However, the fish was still some distance away from the fishing boat. It was still struggling hard on the water surface, trying to escape. However, Li Xiao was not impatient. After all, he could not eat hot food if he was impatient.
Even Tofu couldn't catch a big fish. Once the other party showed signs of struggling, he immediately released the spool and let him continue swimming. He repeatedly took in and released the line several times, completely making this cute little guy give up the struggle.
Seeing that the other party had no strength, Li Xiao pulled the other party out of the sea with all his strength.
The silvery-white fish was as long as an arm, with black fins and dots of blue markings on its back. He immediately recognized what kind of fish it was in front of him.
The silver-white fish drew a graceful arc in the air and fell onto the deck of the boat with Li Xiao's pulling force.
Several people who were busy working on their own were immediately attracted by the snapping sound coming from the deck.
Of course they would not think that Li Xiao was doing something ulterior on the ship, after all, the voice was too familiar to them.
There was a sound of a fish tail slapping against the deck, and several people were surprised. They saw Li Xiao setting up the fishing rod, and no one expected that a fish would take the bait so quickly.
My cousin looked at the guy flapping on the plywood and couldn't help but touch his chin. Are the fish near this sea area particularly stupid?
Otherwise, how could my cousin catch such a big fish so quickly?
Making a living at sea, he clearly understands the difficulty of sea fishing. It is not difficult to catch fish, but it is very difficult to catch fish so quickly.
