Ye Yaodong quickly pulled up the second net, casually poured it into the basket and continued to cast it, taking advantage of it to see if he could catch two more nets.
But things backfired, and by the time he cast the third net, it was already too late.
When I pulled the fishing net up, it was empty inside. Well, that's not right. There were two small sugar shrimps inside.
He shook the fishing net, grabbed the two small sugar shrimps in his hand, and threw them into the basket, "What the hell, it's so fast? Fortunately, I caught two nets, and I didn't lose anything."
"Let's take a look again later. It was just changed a little bit."
"Go and have a look at the eldest brother and the second brother."
Father Ye nodded, sailed the boat in the direction of Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, and kept an eye on the sea.
Ye Yaodong is the same, watching all directions and listening in all directions. He has not set off the net at the moment. Wherever there is water splash, they can go there immediately without any delay.
It was a pity that I was caught off guard.
But when they paid attention, they didn't appear again.
"Dad, Dongzi, how many nets did you just cast? How much did you catch? I see your boat has been here a long time ago. Did you catch a lot?" Ye Yaopeng asked as soon as the boat approached.
"Just two nets, weighing seventy or eighty kilograms. It's a pity. I saw them early, but they were dragging the nets and couldn't free up any space."
"Well, that's a pity. I saw you guys were around, and I thought you guys had caught a lot of fish. We didn't see it at first. We were cooking and sorting fish. Who knew we would be here so quickly today?
Appeared?"
Um?
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "It showed up so quickly today? Then it happened yesterday too?"
Ye Yaohua said honestly: "Yes, in the past two or three days, mullet boils have often appeared in the surrounding waters. Yesterday, it seemed that at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, we happened to be fishing for squid. We saw it from a distance and drove over.
I caught hundreds of catties."
"Yes, it also appeared the day before yesterday, but we only saw it the day before yesterday when we were about to go back. We only caught fifty or sixty kilograms. Seeing that it was getting dark, we hurried back."
Father Ye was surprised, "That lasted for many days."
"That's right, all the mullet fish we caught have roes in their stomachs. They are probably in spawning season."
"Yeah, mullet roe is good."
"It just boiled twice, and I don't know if it's still there. I guess... it's coming, it's coming... there..." Ye Yaodong had just finished speaking when he saw a large number of black mullets jumping around in the east.
I was instantly excited again.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately ran to sail the boat. This time, he looked quite far away. Fortunately, he had good eyesight.
When Ye Yaopeng heard the reminder, he hurried to start the boat.
The two boats headed east one after the other. The other boat next to them didn't know whose it was, but they seemed to have seen it and followed closely behind them.
This time they arrived in time, were not delayed, and actually caught up directly.
When they were almost there, seabirds heard the news and flew over faster than them, and from time to time small fish were picked up in the air.
As soon as Ye Yaodong sailed the boat in front of him, he immediately lowered the anchor and fixed it. Ye's father had already held the net in his hand when he started the boat. As soon as the boat slowed down and stopped, he immediately cast the net.
Father and son work well together.
When Ye Yaodong walked over, Ye's father was putting away the net, and saw the black mullet on the sea still jumping, not affected by their three fishing boats at all.
Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand to help pull it together. There were large and small nets, and it looked like there were quite a few.
He took an empty bamboo basket from the side. As soon as he untied the fishing net, the black mullet poured into the bamboo basket. When he first poured it in, they were still jumping there. Several fish jumped out on the deck, full of vitality.
Complete.
The father and son were overjoyed.
The fish are still good, the stocking is fast, and you can get a net with just one cast and one catch.
Father Ye sorted it out a little and then threw it away, while Ye Yaodong picked up the mullets that were jumping all over the floor and put them into the basket.
Looking not far away, I saw that his eldest and second brothers had just finished fishing a net and were about to cast a second net.
This time it was better than the previous two times. It took three nets before the fish disappeared.
Father Ye held the fishing net in his hand, looked at the sea and muttered, "Why is this fish still like this? Just shoot it and change its position."
"Who knows, let's just take a break and wait and see if there are any more? These fish dived into the water, and they didn't know which direction they swam in."
"Isn't this a delay? The boat has been delayed for several minutes. Otherwise, we could have cast two more nets... Where are we going to look for it now?"
"I'll go sail the boat and take a look around."
"I want to run with you, but I can't see the shadow yet." Father Ye muttered, dragging the frame of fish at his feet to the corner, taking out ice cubes from the cabin and scattering them on it, and covering it with a few tattered clothes.
, block the sun.
This is not good when the weather gets hot, and you have to buy additional ice cubes, otherwise the fish will become stinky in the sun, which is another expense for nothing.
"Dongzi, when you get back, cut a piece of awning and tie it to the top, otherwise it will be too hot when the weather gets hot."
"good."
Last year, the roof of the small wooden boat was too empty to be covered. This iron boat also has a small cabin that can be tied up, and the other side can be tied to the mast.
Their fishing boat started running around to patrol the area, and the other two boats also started moving. They all wanted to try their luck again and see if they could still encounter each other?
Trawling is not as fast as collecting fish when encountering schools of fish.
Ye Yaodong not only looked around and listened in all directions, he also kept an eye on the seabirds flying on the sea. He saw that many seabirds were flying towards the northeast at this moment, so he followed the seabirds in that direction.
Generally, where there are seabirds gathering, there will be schools of fish. The mullet shoals just a few times attracted seabirds.
He felt that there would be nothing wrong with following the seabirds.
When the two brothers Ye Yaopeng saw that Ye Yaodong's boat was suddenly far away, they didn't know what was going on, but they followed it. They were all family members, so they could take care of each other if they were together.
The other boat thought they had given up searching and left, and ignored them and continued to circle around.
Ye Yaodong drove in the direction of a group of seabirds flying, and suddenly saw more and more seabirds flying, and his confidence suddenly increased.
"Dongzi, why are you driving here? Since we can't find it, it's gone. Let's continue to set up the Internet cafe. Don't waste time and delay. There is still time, and we can set up another net. After releasing it, we can go fishing with the longline.
.”
"Dad, haven't you seen that there are more and more seabirds flying in this direction?"
"Oh? It seems so."
"Follow the drive and take a look."
After driving for another minute or two, I saw a large number of seabirds gathering in the distant sea, swooping for prey, and Ye Yaodong's eyes suddenly lit up.
His judgment was correct!
"School of fish!" Father Ye was delighted. "I didn't expect it to come so far all of a sudden. I almost missed it."
"Dad, prepare your net. Have the boats of the eldest and second brothers caught up with you?"
"Yes...the other boat didn't follow."
"Um."
Is it still a school of black mullet, but this time it seems a little smaller? The fish that have been boiling and jumping seem to be only about three feet wide?
He stopped the boat and walked over to help pull it.
"Is this net so small?"
Father Ye also saw it, "It's nothing compared to the nets we just dragged. This net seems to be only about three fingers wide."
"Yes, this net is very small. It is almost the same as the smallest ones among the previous nets. There is no big one."
"Maybe it's not the same wave. I don't know where the previous wave swam. No wonder I ran so far to see it."
"Probably, no matter what, arrest him first."
Anyway, as long as you can sell it for money.
The Ye Yaopeng brothers on the next boat were also very happy, "Fortunately, we caught up."
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be possible even after traveling so far."
"Dad must be very experienced."
"It's possible. This time, it seems a bit smaller. It's definitely not the same wave as before."
"Well, it was almost dark the day before yesterday. I was in a hurry to go back, but I had no choice. I didn't look around yesterday. It's a pity."
"Yeah, I thought it was just a little bit, but I didn't expect them to be jumping around."
"So dad has more experience."
"After all, dad is a little older and has also been a boatman. He knows a lot and has experience..."
The two brothers chatted while pulling the net.
This wave didn't last long, so I caught two more nets and then disappeared again.
"What plane? Can't it be longer? It's gone after only two flights." Ye Yaodong was a little depressed. It took a lot of effort to find them, but they disappeared again after two flights.
"Oh, let's have a look. It's still early anyway, so just wait."
Seeing that the harvest was not small, they continued to search and chase, and Ye Yaopeng's ship also followed him. They felt that Ye's father was experienced and would definitely go right with him.
It's so good that they found it again.
“It feels like a treasure hunt!”
"Hurry up, Dongzi, drive faster, but it's gone and gone again."
"Crow's mouth..."
But the crow's mouth is the most clever...
This time, when they arrived, it was gone.
Father Ye couldn't help but hit himself in the mouth several times, "It's really a crow's mouth."
"Come on, it's too late, keep looking, and remember to say something nice."
"Oh, who knew such a brilliant idea? Just hit the mark, look, hey... where are those seabirds flying, northwest...! Drive that way..."
"Well..." His eyesight is much better than that of his father, so there is no need to remind him.
It wasn't until they chased three more waves and caught more than 200 kilograms that Ye Yaodong finally gave up. The sun was going down and they had to collect the longline before they could go home.
They spent the whole afternoon looking for schools of black mullet, shooting one shot at a time with them, and the harvest was quite impressive, with more than 400 kilograms harvested.
They also harvested a lot of black mullet from longline fishing. Today they sold nearly 60 yuan for the black mullet alone, and nearly 80 yuan for other fish products. Today is considered a good day.
After tasting the sweetness, the father and son planned to spend the next few days in this sea area.
It's just a good way to avoid the limelight and make some extra money.
