One hundred kilometers, that is, more than fifty nautical miles.
Chen Yuan drove a fishing boat and arrived at the Phalanx in more than an hour.
No other fishing boats can be seen around the Phalanx.
It's really just a Phalanx formation, and no one will love it.
Phalanx is equivalent to a very large artificial fish gathering device, and all the surrounding fish gather here.
Phalanx covers an area of more than ten square kilometers. This area is equivalent to a large fish aggregation device. In sea areas where fish feel safe and there is food, when fish come, they will not want to leave. Or they will not be able to leave...
Four fishing boats outside the Phalanx are working day and night.
Take in the rope, let go of the rope.
Lin Xinhai and the others had just collected a rope and were putting it down when the fishing boat stopped.
"Master." Chen Yuan shouted while holding a walkie-talkie.
Zhou Sheng cut off one of the hind legs of each of the sheep he sent out later.
Chen Yuan made an OK gesture: "Then let's start setting the hook after we finish packing."
Sailfish is more powerful than tuna and is more enjoyable to catch.
"Okay." Zhou Sheng smiled and went to the freezing cabin.
"There are many, but they are all bonito and white fish." Xu Laosan said.
This swordfish, including the maxillary sword, is estimated to be 3.5 meters long. It is a rare large swordfish.
Chen Yuan parked the fishing boat next to the fishing boat and looked at Zhou Sheng: "Go and cut off a hind leg of the lamb."
After lunch, Chen Yuan went back to the cabin to take a nap.
It took two people to pull up a tuna weighing more than 100 kilograms.
"Sprinkling water, it's not a big deal." Zhou Sheng replied with a smile.
It's past five o'clock when I'm done.
He Fei and Yang Xun stood nearby, He Fei already had an iron hook in his hand.
"Everything is available." Chen Yuan said: "In addition to vegetables, each fishing boat can also get a sheep."
Xu Laosan and Liu Laoer went to the back deck and waited for the plastic basket to be hoisted down before loading the vegetables.
"Those worthless fish are used as bait, and if there are many, they are thrown into the sea." Chen Yuandao said.
"Are there any for us?" Gao He said.
"We brought some vegetables and fruits back and put them in a basket," Chen Yuandao said.
Xu Laosan started the fishing boat, adjusted its position, and Chen Yuan and the others dragged the dry rope to release the hook.
Xu Laosan stood on the deck of the fishing boat, looked over and shouted: "Cowhide."
"OK."
"Converted into RMB, it is about three times more expensive than in China." Chen Yuan said.
"There's not enough bait. Just now Lao Gao asked us to put out ropes to catch small fish." Xu Laosan said, "Zhou Sheng said you were sleeping, so we didn't move."
There were two baskets of vegetables, two bunches of bananas, and a sheep that had lost one of its legs and was retreating. The goat was a pretty big breed, weighing several dozen kilograms.
Xu Laosan put a rope here, which is more than one thousand meters long, and has more than two thousand fish hooks.
There were green leaf vegetables and some tomatoes, but not much, just enough for Chen Yuan and the others to eat.
"Okay." Lin Xinhai said with a smile.
"Come and receive the vegetables."
"Big swordfish." Zhou Sheng said with a smile: "The kind that weighs several hundred kilograms."
There is no way, the island's area is too small, and there is even less land for growing vegetables.
The exchange rate between RMB and Australian dollar is 1:4.8.
"About three times is okay, they are all green leaf vegetables." Gao congratulated.
I slept until after three o'clock, when I heard a faint noise outside, so I got up from the bed, washed my face, and went outside.
Finished.
One boat contains two baskets of vegetables and two bunches of bananas.
"I'll send it to Lao Gao and the others..."
"What vegetables are there?" Luo Laosi asked.
The main local currency is the Australian dollar, which is more expensive than in China. After all, this is a small island country. On the island they went to, there were very few vegetables grown and only a dozen sheep.
Large bunches of bananas weigh dozens of kilograms each. However, these bananas are not ripe yet and need to be kept for a while before they can be eaten.
"Hahaha... ok. Are the vegetables and mutton expensive here?"
Just deal with it briefly, and then ask Xu Laosan's fishing boat to lower the crane to lift the fish, and then get it on their boat.
"Old Zhao, can you free up some manpower?" Chen Yuan said on the intercom.
Liu Laoer also put a rope over there, which was also more than a thousand meters long, and still had more than two thousand fish hooks.
Zhou Sheng instructed Yang Xun and the others on how to bleed and how to deal with the big fish.
It is not easy to have a meal of fresh vegetables at sea, especially green leafy vegetables. It is normal that vegetables are more expensive than meat.
"good."
There are many fish in the Phalanx, especially bonito and white fish, which are upper-level fish. After nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Yuan and the others helped Xu Laosan and the others put in and out another set of fishhooks before going to bed.
Zhou Sheng held the pole with both hands and pulled with the swordfish for a long time. After the swordfish came out of the water, Chen Yuan took the iron hook and accurately hooked it on the back of the swordfish... He Fei also took an iron hook and hooked the fish's tail. Zhou Sheng also took an iron hook and hooked the fish's tail.
Sheng dropped the fishing rod, took He Fei's iron hook, and he and Chen Yuan dragged the swordfish up.
"Master." Chen Yuan shouted as he waited for everything to be hoisted up.
Vegetables were delivered next to each other, and it was almost noon.
"OK."
Zhou Sheng was fishing with a flamboyant smile on his face.
"How much are the vegetables here? Help us get some." Qian Degui.
Zhou Sheng was very excited when he caught this fish.
Chen Yuan was preparing to wash up and go to bed when Liu Laoer's voice came over the radio: "Xinhai, Lao Gao, do you guys want to come over and take turns to rest for a few days?"
Xu Laosan and Liu Laoer returned to the fishing boat. Chen Yuan also parked the fishing boat next to their fishing boat and started making lunch.
At noon, I made tomato and egg soup and blanched some vegetables.
"What are you doing?"
"Yes." Lin Xinhai replied.
This is an ordinary swordfish, with a very long body, but the weight... I estimate it is only over three hundred kilograms. This fish is quite thin...
The next boat was Zhao Hai's fishing boat. Their fishing boat was collecting the rope. When Chen Yuan passed by, he happened to see them catching tuna.
Two strings, almost 5,000 fish hooks, estimated that 2,000 fish were caught. The catch rate is not bad, but those fish are not valuable, they are all bait fish.
"They are all green leafy vegetables."
"Are there many fish caught on your boat?" Chen Yuan looked at Xu Laosan.
Vegetables here are expensive, but seafood is very cheap.
"What kind of fish?" Chen Yuan asked.
With about 5,000 hooks, not a single tuna was caught within ten meters of fishing depth.
"able."
"Wait until tomorrow." Lin Xinhai said, "The shift will change tomorrow. Is it fun to have fun on the island?"
If a fisherman catches such a big swordfish, he can brag about it for a lifetime.
"The sheep's semen is still in its belly, so you let the chef handle it," Chen Yuan said.
There is nothing to do now, so just idle. If we go to the fishing boat, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng won't be of much help.
"Just average. I can't say it's easy to play, nor can I say it's not easy to play..."
"You also want to play for two days?" Xu Laosan said with a smile.
"I'm a little tired during this period. Let's play for two days and take a rest." Lin Xinhai said with a smile: "Take a few days of rest and relax."
