As soon as it dawned, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng got up and helped Lao Xu and Lao Liu collect and release the fishhook.
Collect the fishhook and put the fishhook again.
Specializing in tuna fishing consumes a lot of bait.
The four fishing boats outside mainly fished for tuna and did not put short hooks. What they caught were mostly tuna and some deep-water fish. Most of these fish are relatively valuable.
The four fishing boats are constantly retracting and releasing fish hooks, consuming a lot of bait every day.
Lao Xu and the others had some bonito, white fish, etc. on the boat before, but their time in the past few days is almost running out.
If it is normal longline fishing, it is usually equipped with some short rope hooks. These short rope hooks are used for fishing bait (worthless fish).
After finishing his busy work in the morning, Chen Yuan drove the boat and stood outside the Phalanx to observe the fish layer inside the formation.
"I just went out, what happened?" Lao Xu said.
"What is your fishing depth at night during this period?" Chen Yuan said.
"There should be." Luo Laosi said.
"After a rough estimate, it must be over two million." Qian Degui said.
"Aren't you going to play on the island?" Lao Gao asked.
Chen Yuan looked at the fish layer distribution displayed by the fan-shaped fish finder. There were not many fish in the deep layers.
"I don't think there are many big fish in the Phalanx anymore," Chen Yuandao said.
"Okay." Qian Degui said: "Old Zhao, Old Liu, Old Xu..."
However, it is estimated that it will take some time before a large group of tuna reaches the waters of the country.
It has a speed of about 20 knots, which is very fast among longline fishing boats. The faster the speed, the larger the maneuverable space.
"There will be a fishing ban in less than forty days. After the fishing moratorium, we will go out and have fun together. It's only thirty days, so let's hold on." Luo Laosi said: "Making money is the most important thing."
The tuna in the Phalanx are now spread out.
"He is on my boat." Lao Xu said.
"Quite a lot. More than half..."
"Chen Yuan, Lao Qian." Luo Laosi shouted.
"The fish catch is better at night than during the day. There are more bigeye and albacore tuna caught at night, and there are more bonito. You can catch yellowfin tuna during the day..."
"There are a lot of fish on the upper layer. We'd better clean up the small fish..." Chen Yuandao said: "Too many small fish is not necessarily a good thing. The density of small fish must be controlled, and some tuna must be left, as the tuna will swarm."
"Do you have a lot of bait on your boat?" Chen Yuan asked.
"First fill up my yacht with fuel. Our fishing boats and Lao Gao's are very fast, so we can go farther to find fish." Chen Yuandao said: "During this period, most fishing boats are concentrated in the northwest and north, so we will do the opposite.
To do so, go east."
"It's still okay." Gao He said: "The number of big fish shown by the vertical fish detector on our fishing boat is still very impressive."
"Okay. Chen Yuan, we're looking for fish." Gao He cheered up and shouted, "Let's get started."
"I'll go." Gao He was speechless and said, "Then we'll try our best another day."
"Throw the oil pipe." Zhou Sheng shouted outside.
"Do you think this will work...let Lao Xu and Lao Liu's fishing boats come out to take over my and Lao Gao's positions. Then, Lao Gao and I's fishing boats will go outside to work, and your four fishing boats will work here in the Phalanx." Luo Lao
Four paths.
I just filled up the tank when I came here before. Now I estimate that there are more than 4,000 liters in the main tank, which can be used for a long time.
Chen Yuan thought for a while and said: "It should be possible. If Lao Xu and Lao Liu's fishing boats come out, we will not catch upper-level fish. The density of upper-level fish is not bad now..."
"Old Qian." Chen Yuan shouted on the radio.
"About 50 meters, 70 to 130 meters, 20 to 30 meters, and 150 to more than 200 meters..." Gao He said.
"exist."
"Same." Luo Laosi said.
"How deep is the water where the tuna is?" The fan fish detector on Chen Yuan's side couldn't tell the type and size of the fish, it could only see where the fish were.
"Not much left." Gao congratulated: "Old Xu, Old Liu, how much bait do you have on the boat?"
Chen Yuan said that the quantity is very small, that is, relatively speaking. The density of tuna in the Phalanx is definitely higher than the density of tuna in the upwelling sea area in the south that Chen Yuan and the others had before...
"It's the same here, more than ten tons. I caught a lot of fish this morning, but these fish haven't been processed yet..."
"At night, the fishing depth is more than 20 meters to more than 50 meters. There are many fish in the Phalanx. If you fish too shallow, all the fish caught will be bonito." Qian Degui said.
The fishing boats provide shadows inside the Phalanx and are in the center of the Phalanx, which is very helpful for gathering fish. If two fishing boats leave, the fish in the center area will disperse, and the fish gathering effect of the Phalanx will be greatly affected.
discount.
"What should we do?" Qian Degui asked.
"Then our catch will be divided equally, and all costs during the cooperation period will be shared equally," Luo Laosi said.
Different fish, different times, active in different water layers.
"Then... try it," Chen Yuandao said.
There are still more than thirty days left before the fishing moratorium, and tuna is already migrating. Bonito and tuna are all migrating south...
However, in the past few days, the number of upper-level fish in the Phalanx has been sufficient. Lao Xu and his fishing boats should be able to come out of the Phalanx.
Luo Laosi said: "Then give it a try. Chen Yuan, you have to start looking for fish schools."
"exist."
"Is Lao Liu here?"
“How was the catch tonight?”
Dabai's fuel consumption is high, but in a yacht over 16 meters long, Dabai's fuel tank capacity is definitely large.
"That's okay. Have you calculated the fish catch yesterday?"
Chen Yuan smiled: "Okay."
Chen Yuan's Dabai is very fast.
"How much fuel do you have on board?"
"The surge is a bit big." Chen Yuan said while holding the walkie-talkie.
"You can try it," Qian Degui said.
"exist."
Qian Degui also said 'hmm': "It should be okay."
Luo Laosi wants to make more money. Their company owes tens of millions. If everything is done well, the bank loan can be paid off in the first half of the year. That will be so comfortable.
"Get closer."
Chen Yuan said 'hmm': "I took a look around here. There are not many fish in the water layer around 50 meters and below."
"Absolutely." Zhao Bo said.
The Big Fish can reach a speed of more than 20 knots. Gao He's boat, with full power, can reach a speed of nearly 20 knots...
The Big Fish had just collected a bunch of hooks and was setting them right now, so it was still early to set off.
"I estimate it's more than ten tons." Old Liu said: "The fish we harvested yesterday and this morning were all good."
Lao Liu and Lao Xu waited for a long time before there was any sound.
"You guys are at ease. You went to the island for a few days for vacation." Luo Laosi said with a smile: "If there are no problems, Chen Yuan, you go out to find fish."
But this is a Phalanx, and working in a Phalanx is very inefficient.
"No need to deal with it. Give us the bait first." Lao Gao said, "Lao Si and the others don't have any bait on the boat."
"Okay, we're so bored that we're almost going to be moldy." Old Liu said with a smile.
"OK."
"OK."
Qian Degui said it again, "What do you think?"
Qian Degui couldn't make up his mind and thought for a while: "Chen Yuan, what do you think?"
Lao Gao has just finished placing a string of fish hooks and has stopped working.
"I'm here," Lao Liu said.
Chen Yuan drove Dabai next to Lao Gao and the others.
"It's similar here." Qian Degui said.
"OK."
"Let's set out to look for fish first," said Chen Yuan.
"good."
"Wait..." Lin Xinhai's voice suddenly appeared and shouted: "I'll get on your boat."
