It's nice to have a group of people to chat and joke with at sea.
It's past three o'clock, and Chen Yuan is about to go out and fly the drone for a while. It's good to find fish schools. It doesn't matter what kind of fish schools, as long as there are a lot of them, it's fine.
"Hello, Chen Yuan? Did you receive it? Let me know." Zhang Hang's voice came over the radio.
"Copy that." Chen Yuan sat down again and said, "What's the matter?"
"Our fishing boat is back and is going through the relevant procedures. Where are you now?" Zhang Hang said.
"Chen, let's fish together. The price of the fish we catch is sold to you, which is 30% cheaper than that of Dongjiang Fishery, right?" Lu Lu asked.
"Yes." Chen Yuan then told Zhang Hang their location and specific coordinates.
"Can I ensure better catches if I fish with you?"
"This cannot be guaranteed. Now I am scouting the fish school, and we will provide the location for setting the hook. You can follow us for a while and try it out. If you feel it is not cost-effective, you can leave and work alone." Chen Yuan said.
"Okay. Our fishing boat is in Funa. We will set off after the relevant procedures are completed."
"Okay. By the way, when will fishing be closed in this sea area?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Probably around July 15th." Zhang Hang said: "The specific date has not been released yet. Anyway, fishing is not allowed in August. There are many tuna in August, so only domestic fishing boats are allowed to operate."
Tuna resources have highly migratory characteristics. We need to protect tuna resources, or in order to make less money for foreign fishing boats... Nowadays, fishing is mostly closed when tuna is in abundance.
After chatting with Zhang Hang for a while, Chen Yuan put on sun protection clothing, asked Zhou Sheng to sail the boat, and went out to fly the drone.
The sun in sashimi is very poisonous. Even people like Chen Yuan who often bask in the sun must wear sunscreen here. Otherwise, the skin that finally turned white will turn into the black charcoal it used to be.
Judging from the drone's remote sensing fish detector, the density of fish in this large area of the sea is not high. Compared with that near the lagoon, it is far behind. However, this area is very large, and it is at the outermost edge of the island reef.
Yes, there are quite a lot of big fish.
There are obvious ocean currents in this place, so the fish aggregation device does not work well in this place.
The most suitable one is longline fishing boat operation.
The fish are not densely packed and are widely scattered.
But there are fish everywhere, and the total amount adds up to a lot.
Longline fishing boats don't have to run around here to operate. Even four boats can operate continuously for several days or more than ten days.
After flying the drone several times, the sun was about to set. Chen Yuan asked Zhou Sheng to stop the boat and take the drone back. Then he went into the fish cabin to look at the tuna that He Fei had caught.
The tuna is neither big nor fat.
"How is this fish?" He Fei came over.
Chen Yuan shook his head: "Very average."
"Then take it out, defrost it and eat it." He Fei said.
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Okay."
The lowest temperature in Dabai's fish cabin is only a dozen degrees, and the fish has become hard after being frozen for a day.
Dabai's fish cabin can store several tons of fish, and the refrigeration is always on. It contains beef, mutton, pork, frozen vegetables, and some fish.
He Fei and the others cannot give this tuna to the Big Fish now. The freezing room and ultra-low temperature chamber of the Big Fish are not always open. At least they have to wait until the Big Fish starts fishing before He Fei and the others can send the fish they caught.
Go to the Big Fish.
"Would you like to eat beef tonight?" Zhou Sheng walked down.
"Is there any thawed beef?"
"have."
"Then let's eat beef and stew potatoes." Chen Yuan said.
"Let's eat potatoes and beef stew." Yang Xun also got up and said with a smile when he heard that he was eating potatoes and beef stew in the evening.
"Yeah, beef stew with potatoes." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Will you spend the night here tonight?" He Fei asked.
"Just spend the night here." Chen Yuan.
Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan: "Why don't you go over and meet Master and the others?"
"We couldn't help much in the past. Just here... we will continue to look for fish tomorrow." Chen Yuan and the others' job is to look for fish. The work on the fishing boat is over there. Chen Yuan and the others can't be of much help.
.
Besides, there are auxiliary boats on board the Big Fish.
The auxiliary boat can not only help retract the hook, but also help release the hook. Especially when operating in large sea areas, the auxiliary boat can be used in many ways...
Yang Xun, He Fei and the others went down to the fishing rods and then helped cook.
Chen Yuan was sitting in the driver's seat, chatting on the radio.
Lin Xinhai had already woken up, and he and Luo Laosi were both on the boat.
"We have just put down the auxiliary boat and are ready to set the hook." Lin Xinhai said: "Only set the tuna hook, right?"
"Yes. Those small miscellaneous fish are not valuable." Chen Yuan said: "You can put some large octopus hooks. There are quite a lot of big octopus here."
"How deep is it?"
"Put the fishhook as deep as possible. Whatever, it's hard to catch octopus, and the Pacific red seal seems to be worthless," Chen Yuan said.
"Catch the fish for shabu-shabu and beat the teeth as a sacrifice." Gao He said, "I haven't eaten Dahongzhang for a long time."
"That thing is as hard as a belt." Zhao Hai said.
"That's because you didn't rinse it well. Cut it into thin slices, rinse it in the hot pot and take it out. It will taste crispy and crispy. When you catch the big octopus, I will cook it for you." Gao congratulated.
"That's right." Zhao Hai said with a smile, "By the way, how are our fishing boats going to release the hooks?"
"You guys put out the hooks." Chen Yuan said: "It's a few hundred meters away, not too far away. Put out four ropes on the big fish, and two ropes on your boat. Once you've put them out, start taking up the lines."
Lin Xinhai thought for a while: "Okay. My boat has two rope-laying machines, which can put two lines at one time..."
"I'm afraid our ship can't hold two ropes." Zhao Hai said.
"You are still far away. When you come over, all the ropes for the big fish will be released." Chen Yuan said: "Then let the auxiliary boat come over to help you pull the ropes, and hang big hooks. The hooks are easy to tie, and one can be hung every ten meters."
Fishhook, there’s nothing wrong with it.”
"How much power does your auxiliary ship have?"
"More than three hundred horses."
"That's okay. Then let the auxiliary boat help tow it. Putting two ropes will not be a big problem."
Gao He also laughed and said, "Okay. In this case, our work efficiency can be improved a lot."
Gao He's ship has a rope-laying machine, and even with an auxiliary boat, it can only place one rope at a time.
"I'm going out to direct the setting of the fishhook." Lin Xinhai said: "After we place the fishhook here, the auxiliary boat will go over to help you place the hook."
"OK."
"Put the two ropes apart and pull them as far apart as possible."
"I know, pull it apart like a figure of eight. I'm not Luo Laosi, I know how to do it." Lin Xinhai laughed.
"What are you talking about, Guapi?" Luo Laosi's dissatisfied voice came from the radio.
