Early the next morning, Chen Yuan and the others got up, had breakfast, and drove the boat to the northwest of the archipelago. That is, the northwest of Buta Atoll...
Now everyone predicts that fish schools will come from this direction.
And if there are no accidents, based on the experience of past years, this is indeed the case.
Most of the Dongjiang fishing vessels are here, and Luo Hao, as the commander-in-chief of the fleet, is naturally here.
In the northwest waters, Chen Yuan saw 6 fish aggregation devices on his way over. After finding the nanny of Dongjiang Fishery, Chen Yuan took out his phone and called Luo Hao: "I'm here."
"I saw it." Luo Hao said with a smile: "The speed of your boat is not good, it should not reach thirty knots."
"We are cruising in an economical way, 27 knots. This speed is already very high, okay?"
Luo Hao chuckled: "I heard that your yacht can run up to fifty knots. Let me experience it."
"I don't want him to brag to me, Old Bi Douzi." Zhou Sheng also rolled his eyes.
Zhou Sheng's old face darkened and he looked at Chen Yuan.
Luo Laosi said ‘hmm’ and said: “There are still 39 days until the fish-free period.”
"The impact is not big. Is there any upwelling?"
"As long as there are any. Have you seen any fishing boats over there?"
"You kid..." Liu Laoer glared at Chen Yuan angrily: "You call me master Lin Xinhai and call me second brother. I'm twice as short as Lin Xinhai for no reason."
Chen Yuan didn't know Liu Lao Er's name even after knowing him for several years. Everyone always called him Lao Er, or Er Ge.
Luo Hao smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, I still have a lot of things to do here, so I'm going to be busy."
"Still testing." Chen Yuandao.
Luo Hao waved his hand and said, "I was joking just now. There are a lot of things on my ship and I can't get away. I'll bring you the sensor and use a crane to lift it down. Please pay attention to your safety."
Chen Yuan drove the boat over, first picked up Lin Xinhai and Luo Laosi, and then went to pick up Gao He and Zhao Hai.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the bottle of wine was quickly finished.
"It should be possible." Chen Yuan said.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Come on, Chen Yuan has already called me Second Uncle, and you should also call me Second Uncle."
He Fei and Yang Xun started to finish cooking.
Zhou Sheng’s nickname is ‘Fei Wa’er’.
"I saw on the map that there is a Table Mountain here, and the altitude is minus 400 to 500 meters. But after actual survey, the average altitude is about minus 600 meters," Chen Yuan said.
"I want it." Chen Yuan picked up the box and looked up at Luo Hao: "What is it?"
Chen Yuan raised his hand: "Throw the ladder down."
"Where are the ocean currents?"
We chatted until late, dinner was ready, and we saw a few fishing boats with lights on the sea.
"good."
Chen Yuan and others continued to study the placement of the Phalanx and the work arrangements for future operations.
"Can the Phalanx really attract a large number of fish?" Luo Laosi asked.
Gao He had a lustful smile on his face and said, "Blow him."
There are only three bedrooms in the fishing boat, but there are more beds, with a total of 11 beds.
After waiting for several minutes, Luo Hao poked his head out: "Chen Yuan."
"Okay, second uncle."
Chen Yuan went in again and came out with two boxes...
"Yes. But the upwelling is not obvious..."
The beef stew with potatoes is still in the pressure cooker.
Qian Degui's fishing boat came over in the evening, and Chen Yuan went to pick him up. After studying the seabed topographic map, the two began to design the Phalanx plan.
"Hot pot base. Didn't you ask me about it a few days ago?"
Chen Yuan spread his hands...
"Why are you calling me?"
If there is mainly an upwelling, that's fine. In upwelling sea areas, deep-sea nutrients usually flood up...
There are many fishing boats in the northwest waters.
"There are two boats that can be seen. One is seine and one is longline. The sea area here is wide, so it's okay."
In the evening, everyone drank too much, so they all spent the night on the fishing boat.
A rope net with dozens of cardboard boxes inside was slowly hoisted down and placed on the back deck of the fishing boat.
Xu Laosan's boat was behind and had stopped. Chen Yuan went over to pick him up and stopped the boat...
Lin Xinhai opened the beer and held up the bottle: "Here, touch one."
According to the original plan, Chen Yuan went to the north of Xiaojinma Island to find a suitable location.
The upwelling here is not obvious either.
Fei Wa'er, Sichuan Sound.
The ocean currents at the equator are not obvious and the tidal effect is very small.
"receive."
Liu Lao Er laughed loudly: "Let's go and pick up Xu Lao San."
In the evening, Chen Yuan, Zhou Sheng, Lin Xinhai and Luo Laosi shared a room.
Workers could be seen on the deck, and Chen Yuan moved the fishing boat over.
"Blow one." Zhou Sheng shouted.
Mainly to explore the seabed topography.
"Hey~, I'll give you two hands." Zhou Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"How is it?" Qian Degui asked.
After ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Laosan and Liu Laoer's fishing boats also came over.
"That's pretty much it." Liu Laoer chuckled: "Where's Fei Wa'er?"
Chen Yuan patted his head and said with a smile: "Thank you."
Chen Yuan went over to pick them up: "Second brother."
If he could choose, Chen Yuan would also like to form a Phalanx in the northwest waters. But there are too many fishing boats here.
"I'll beat the shit out of you."
"Right now, I'll get you the sensors."
"Come down."
The wind and waves were very light tonight, and with the stabilizer on, I could barely feel the shaking.
"Let's discuss our own things."
"Who are you bragging about?" Liu Laoer rolled his eyes.
Chen Yuan smiled and clasped his fists: "Okay, I'll call you second uncle from now on."
Chen Yuan set out the bowls and chopsticks, and Zhou Sheng brought the beer...
"No way, no way..." Liu Laoer smiled and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Chen Yuan." Qian Degui shouted on the radio.
However, the sea water here is relatively shallow, and the Phalanx can be fixed with cat claws instead of pulling it with a fishing boat...
Fishing also has fishing rules.
On the ship, basically everyone has a nickname. Chen Yuan also has a nickname, called ‘Yuanyuan’.
"Let's try it first." Lin Xinhai said: "If Phalanx fails, let's continue to look for fish schools."
Chen Yuan untied the rope, moved the box out, raised his hand to signal, waited for the crane to be retracted, and then looked up at Luo Hao: "I really don't want to come down and play."
"Wait until the fishing season is over." Luo Hao said, bending down to pick up a box and throwing it down to Chen Yuan: "Wait until the fishing season is over, I'll play with you."
Dinner is ready, just one dish, beef stew with potatoes.
"Let's go." Everyone raised the bottles together and clinked them.
"Has the date of the fishing moratorium been determined?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"Fishing will stop on July 16th, and then until September 20th."
This year’s domestic fishing season starts in May and lasts until September 25.
There are too many domestic fishing boats, and the fishing ban period is getting longer year by year. But this is also good. The longer the fishing ban period, the better the fishermen will harvest after the sea is opened.
