As the captain of every trip, Gao Qijing was somewhat used to it. He could only smile and comfort him: "Don't look at it! I'm only going to sea for a few days. I just need to call home every day to report that I'm safe. Fishing these days is no better than in previous years!"
"
The old crew member who heard this also answered with a smile: "No matter what I say, it makes sense. I think back then, when we took the battleship to the sea for the first time, we were also very nervous. If we came back later than the scheduled time, our family would be in danger."
More worried.
Now the conditions are better. There are communication equipment and navigation equipment on the ship, and the country provides weather forecasts. How could those old fishermen in the past have such conditions? At that time, when going to sea, they had to kill chickens to worship the gods and pray for a safe return.
!”
Burning incense and praying for blessings cannot be said to be completely superstitious, but more for peace of mind.
As the fleet sailed out of the port, everyone's mood slowly calmed down.
"Sail the boat well and sail to the target sea area!"
"Why is it still the same sea area as last time?"
"Excuting an order!"
"yes!"
Chen Wenzhe was in the cab, watching the driver drive the boat. Sailing on the sea also requires some skills.
After watching it for a while, Chen Wenzhe discovered that sailing a boat is easier than driving a car. However, if you want to actually sail a boat out to sea, it will take a lot of effort.
The sea surface looks endless, but there are also dangers under the sea.
If you are not careful and drive the boat to a place with a reef and actually hit it, the consequences will be very serious.
Fortunately, there is radar. As long as you don't get distracted, running aground on the rocks will not happen under normal circumstances.
This job is an example of how easy it is to learn but hard to master.
Of course, the driver on their ship must be a master.
"When will we be able to go to fishing areas?" Chen Wenzhe asked.
"It's probably going to be evening! Although this boat is not slow, for the sake of safety, we'd better drive as slowly as possible."
Now Chen Wenzhe knows very well that wherever you enter the sea, there are fishing grounds.
If you don't understand the situation and log off the Internet at will, you will be like Gao Qijing and others, relying entirely on luck to harvest, and the results will definitely be miserable!
"Okay! You can make up your mind on this matter! If you get tired, remember to change people at any time."
"Okay! When we reach the high seas, if the waves are not big, the speed can be faster!"
Although the tonnage of their fishing boats is not small, they still seem a bit insignificant on the sea.
When encountering rough weather at sea, fishing boats will also appear very bumpy.
Sometimes, the veteran crew members would be so shaken that their limbs became weak.
Taking advantage of not having to work, the old crew members sat on the deck to brag and smoke.
While everyone else was chatting, Chen Wenzhe came to the captain's lounge on the ship.
This cabin belongs exclusively to Chen Wenzhe.
Find out the notepad, based on some knowledge points recorded internally by Sui Houzhi, Chen Wenzhe also began to record some precautions for going to sea.
This time, as the person in charge of going overseas, he definitely hopes to gain more.
At least it should be more than Gao Qijing's gain, otherwise, it would not be so easy to win over the hearts of this fleet.
Therefore, now he first needs to understand the surrounding ocean conditions.
While others were returning to the rest cabin one after another, intending to lie down for a while to waste time, Chen Wenzhe came back to the deck instead.
After sorting out the harvest from looking back at the rudder, Chen Wenzhe cannot say that he will become a qualified captain immediately, but when he starts fishing, there should be no problem.
Looking at the endless blue sea in the distance, Chen Wenzhe came to the captain's cabin, started the radar here, and began to scan for fish and creatures underwater.
The experience gained needs to match the real situation, otherwise, his so-called experience may kill people!
In modern society, we no longer rely solely on experience to fish, modern equipment is also indispensable.
After starting the fish finder, to his surprise, he found that the number of fish in the sea here seemed to be less than that near the base.
After looking at the various ships that pass by from time to time, I can see that there are not many fish schools, which is normal.
No wonder some people say that when fishing with nets, you should avoid waterways with frequent sea vessels.
Only by going to waters where there are not many boats can you find schools of fish that live and swim.
"If you want to launch the trawl net, wait until dawn! As for the crab pots, when you reach the resting area at night, you can choose a place with many crabs."
This time out to sea, Chen Wenzhe was already familiar with this fleet.
This fleet can be said to be fully equipped. Although they look like ordinary fishing boats from the outside, their internal layout is very advanced.
There should be many fleets like this in China, and they are spread all over the world.
This time I go to sea, I don’t know when I will encounter the opportunity, so I can’t waste my usual time.
Since we have an excellent ocean-going fleet, why not make some extra money?
Chen Wenzhe now knows very well that the majority of the crew's income every year in this fleet comes from the fish caught out at sea.
Of course, they usually receive wages and bonuses for performing missions at sea, but how can such little money be as high as fishing income?
Otherwise, the last time they went to sea, they would not have been busy fishing, and they would not have believed that Chen Wenzhe could find the sunken ship.
And it can be seen from this that the income of this group of people will definitely not be very high, because their harvest from fishing is really not much!
Looking at the crew members around him, they definitely didn't trust him, but it didn't matter if they didn't believe him, he would prove it to them.
But this time, he was able to successfully obtain the nominal boss status because his gains were greater last time.
Chen Wenzhe walked around the boat and got to know the equipment on the boat.
Knowing that there were a lot of crab pots on board, Chen Wenzhe planned to help Zheng Yu get a batch of top-quality seafood.
Anyway, idle time is idle. Since you have the ability, why not make some money?
He has sales channels and skills, so he can make money easily!
By tracing back the rudder, Chen Wenzhe gained a lot of experience from veteran fishermen.
These are the captain's experiences. By looking back, Chen Wenzhe can at least know how many fishing grounds are hidden in this sea.
There are fish all over the sea, but the largest number of fish are found in the fishing grounds.
The fishing grounds that ordinary people know are very large, so in this vast ocean, where are the schools of fish? You can only rely on your own experience, or the experience of previous generations, to determine.
Have someone find the crab pot, prepare it, and plan to use it.
This kind of crab pot is larger than the crab pots Chen Wenzhe has seen before, can sink deeper, and can catch more crabs.
Accordingly, to pull these crab pots, you need to use the lifting equipment on the fishing boat.
But compared to the cages for catching king crabs that I have seen online, these crab pots are still much smaller.
The crabs here are still not that big.
We set off at noon and sailed for nearly six hours before reducing the ship's speed.
Just this distance will increase fuel consumption a lot, so if you don't have some skills, the chance of losing money when fishing at sea is still very high.
