There is a saying that goes "carp leaps over the dragon's gate". If you can see a carp jumping out of the water, jumping across the water in the form of an arched door, and entering the water, you will be considered very lucky, and good things may happen in the future.
.
But what is happening now?
The jumping and crackling sound almost overwhelmed the diesel engine, and there were large waves on the sea. A large number of fish jumped out of the sea and played in the waves. The water surface of nearly a hundred meters was boiling.
"What kind of fish are those?" After Ye's father realized what he was doing, he asked excitedly as he sailed over.
"Just drive over and take a look and you will know."
Ye Yaodong also lay on the side of the boat and looked into the distance. He suddenly felt that the hat on his head was a bit annoying, so he rarely took it off.
Although it did not affect his vision, psychologically, he felt that taking it off would allow him to look more carefully.
"There seems to be quite a lot of grass. We moved the position right today."
"Close the net first."
The trawl cannot be stopped halfway through. Once it stops, the fishing net will sink. Now we can only temporarily collect the fishing net.
Ye Yaodong responded and quickly went to close the net.
"Made, you are so desperate to jump at this time. If you close the network quickly, it will take more than ten or twenty minutes. I hope you can make it in time."
The fishing boat is trawling the middle and lower layers. The boiling fish are on the water surface. Otherwise, they can catch them all in one catch by trawling the upper layer. It saves trouble. There is no need to cram like now and collect the net quickly and slowly, for fear of missing this batch of boiling fish.
Father Ye was also anxious when he was driving the boat there. If he had known about the net, he would not have dragged it. In order not to miss this batch of fish, he now deliberately drove the boat around the fish school, not daring to go far for fear of not being able to make it in time.
Ye Yaodong paid attention to the sea surface while collecting the net. He felt relieved when he saw them still jumping there. He kept praying in his heart to keep jumping around for a while until he finished collecting the net.
There are two fishing boats on the sea in the distance. I don’t know if they are too far apart and have not been noticed, or they are also trawling in trouble and have not moved for the time being.
Ye Yaodong watched the net hoisting machine slowly lifting the net, and wanted to pat it twice to make it go faster.
I usually find it pleasing to my eyes, but I find it disgusting now.
From time to time, he looked at how much the fishing net had pulled up, and from time to time he raised his eyes to look into the distance, and immediately shouted to his father: "Dad, come closer and see what kind of fish it is?"
Father Ye controlled the boat to get closer, "Black Mullet, it's Black Mullet!"
When he heard his father's cry, he also figured out what kind of fish it was that jumped out of the sea.
"Ah! It's really a black mullet!"
This spectacle of "fish leaping over the dragon's gate" turned out to be brought about by the black mullet.
He has caught many black mullets in the past, but this was the first time he saw so many black mullets jumping out of the water and playing together.
Playful? It should be playful...
I heard that one reason why mullets jump out of the water is because they are frightened, feel threatened, and respond to their own conditions to avoid harm.
Another reason is physiological changes. When it is time to give birth, a substance that stimulates nerves is produced in the body, making it in an excited state, so it especially likes to jump.
After getting closer, he found that some of these fish were very big, and some were very small. The big ones seemed to weigh five or six pounds, and the small ones were as wide as three fingers.
Sometimes they wander in the sea, sometimes jump out of the water, and sometimes they jump a few times. They look very naughty, and their churning look is particularly like the scene of water boiling in a pot.
He felt that these jumping black mullets should be the second imagination. Now is the breeding season of black mullets.
"Fortunately it wasn't a school of tuna, otherwise I would have slapped my thighs and regretted it."
Father Ye: What a beautiful thought!
After Ye Yaodong saw that it was a school of black mullet, he was no longer anxious. This fish is cheap now, and it should be between eighty-nine cents and a dime at this moment.
It's good to catch more fish. You're always lucky when you encounter a school of fish. If the quality is not enough, it's the same if the quantity is small. I just hope it will be active for a while.
But to his disappointment, when the fishing net was dragged to the end, the schools of black mullet stopped dancing one after another, and the sea surface returned to calm intermittently within a minute.
"Damn it! My fishing net is almost up, and you tell me you don't want to play anymore? It's so short, so short, so short!"
Father Ye was also depressed and shouted to Ye Yaodong: "How much is left before the fishing net can be pulled up?"
"The tail is almost there, you can just drive the boat over and it'll be almost done."
With a little bit of the remaining tail raised, the ship can be anchored.
When Ye's father drove the boat to the surface of the sea where the group of black mullet were jumping, he also went to help Ye Yaodong pull up the fishing net first.
Although the net was lowered and dragged not long ago and there is nothing in it, the weight of the fishing net itself is not light.
The father and son didn't care to look at the scattered cargo inside. Without untying the fishing net, they quickly took the hand-thrown net and leaned towards the side of the boat to see if they could pick up any leaks.
I thought well, but after a few minutes, there were black mullets everywhere on the sea. I couldn't even pick them up, they all swam away.
Ye Yaodong looked at the calm sea, sighed regretfully, and threw the net aside, feeling depressed.
"Hurry up and hurry up, but it's still too late, or you've missed it. Isn't it too short? How long has it been?"
"Forget it, forget about swimming away, tidy up the fishing net, and keep putting it down." Father Ye also shook his head regretfully, and walked towards the fishing net that had just been dragged up, untied the fishing net, and took out the fish inside.
Every little bit of stuff is poured out so that the net can be emptied for further use.
"Made, it's a waste of time. You have to put it down again after collecting it, which will delay things."
"no way……"
Ye Yaodong had just finished complaining and planned to do as he was told, but found that the sea in the distance started rolling again!
"Hey!!! There, there! I ran there again, sail the boat quickly, sail the boat quickly..."
"He ran over there!" Father Ye also saw the black mullet jumping out of the water in the distance, and instantly smiled again.
Although it is a bit far away, you can still see it clearly.
As the fish jumped, a group of seabirds were also attracted to fly over the area.
"Damn you, you're fooling around here, jumping around there...are you teasing me? I'll catch you hard later!"
"Fortunately, the net hasn't been put down yet!" Thinking of this, Father Ye couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, they didn't move so fast.
Father Ye reacted quickly. As he spoke, he quickly started the boat and sailed away. This time, the group of black mullets was closer to the two working boats.
After Ye's father stopped the boat and lowered the anchor, without waiting for his reminder, Ye Yaodong took advantage of them to jump there, reacted quickly and directly opened the fishing net and threw it towards the fish.
I don’t know if they are the same batch as the ones just now, and I don’t know when they will stop jumping. Anyway, while you can clearly see them now, you should quickly catch a net first, lest the fish run away as soon as you are about to go over like what happened just now.
If it was really too late and they got away again, he would just buy a piece of tofu and kill them.
The hand-thrown net was just thrown out for a short time before he closed it.
When he was setting up the net, he saw two ships not far away heading in this direction at the same time. He probably saw seabirds and reacted.
He guessed that one ship should belong to his eldest and second brother, but he didn't know about the other one.
Sure enough, when he pulled up a net of fish, he saw his eldest brother and his second brother's boat also docked around the boiling fish school, and then he saw them quickly casting a net out.
You can't see the facial expression, but if you think about it, you can tell that he must be smiling and his eyes are shining.
At this time, another boat also arrived nearby. The moment they stopped the boat, they also cast the net.
Ye Yaodong only glanced at it and focused on the net in his hand. After pouring the goods out, he didn't even bother to look at it for a few more times. He then adjusted the fishing net slightly and continued to cast it to the sea.
Who knows when he will run away again, no matter what the other party is doing, we are all in harmony with each other, you will catch you, I will catch mine.
Fishing is the first priority now.
However, when he cast the second net, the boiling sea calmed down again.
Ye Yaodong was even surprised, "Damn it, it's gone again? So fast! How long has it been? Are you kidding me?"
"It's gone again?" Father Ye was also dumbfounded, "How many minutes has it been?"
"Fuck! It doesn't last long! It's faster."
Father Ye was also depressed, "Let's pull up this net first. Anyway, we also pulled up two nets. It's a free catch. It's much better than those two boats."
Ye Yaodong was cursing and cursing that the time was so short, while cursing and closing the net.
"How many kilograms do these two nets weigh? Seventy or eighty kilograms, right?"
"It's almost the same. Can you try throwing the net later and see if you can catch a few more?"
"I don't know if there will be more later."
"Wait and see."
