Father Ye couldn't figure out the situation, but from a distance he could see the fish rushing to jump onto the boat, which looked a bit abnormal.
Dongzi used to have a lot of cunning ideas. He wondered if it was him who had messed up something again, so these fish jumped onto the boat desperately?
Although I couldn't see clearly what kind of fish it was from the distance, Dongzi and the others looked on coldly and did not stop it. Did they drive the boat away? This should be a good thing, right?
He was afraid that driving directly over would affect the jumping of the fish, so he quickly changed direction and approached the other side.
Ye Yaodong also saw his father's boat turning back.
"Dongzi? What's going on with you?"
The machines on his boat have been turned off and there is no clicking sound. Standing on the bow of the boat, you can clearly hear his father's question.
"Maybe it's the effect of light fishing? Those are needlefish, they tend to light. When I got on the boat, my head touched the light bulb, so I moved the light bulb to the edge. As a result, I just passed by this area and saw these fish heading towards the boat.
Bengda, I was shocked myself, I was sitting under the light bulb just now..."
"Then are you okay? Have you been poked?" Father Ye glanced at him up and down, feeling relieved that he was still intact.
"No, the accuracy is not that good. I reacted quickly and hid directly to the edge. Hey, dad, you can also move the light bulb to the edge and see if you can also attract some needle fish to jump on the boat?"
"This wave of fish should be swimming over soon, right?" Father Ye hesitated, "The boat has been parked here for a while, and I see there are quite a lot of fish on the boat."
"It's been a while, but who knows how long this wave of fish will last?"
He must have been hiding underwater for about 10 minutes yesterday. Who knows if there will be more fish today. It doesn't cost anything to try.
"Then let me try..."
"When you drive over there, you all jumped up from there." Ye Yaodong pointed to his father at the side of the boat on the other side. "You drive over there and keep a little distance first, and then hang up the lights and see if you can
It cannot be attracted."
"Then I'll drive over and try."
"Be careful."
The sound of the motor in his ears slowly moved to the other side, and his father kept the distance while driving the boat, changing direction.
However, it seems that it is coming to an end, and the frequency of jumping up seems to be a bit low. It just kept crackling down, and now it looks a bit weak. This wave of fish should be about to pass.
His father's boat next door was almost seven or eight meters away from his, and he followed his example and hung the light bulb on the edge of the cabin so that the light could shine towards the sea.
These fish should be on the surface, otherwise such a low wattage and such a weak light would not be easily attracted.
After a while, he also saw fish on his father's boat, but he only saw a few scattered fish shadows. The frequency was too low, and his father came too late.
He also said this.
The eldest cousin said: "This school of fish is quite big. It has been more than ten minutes just now. It should be over soon. There are not many fish that have jumped up."
"Let's wait a little longer. What should we do if it doesn't get over and another fish jumps up and accidentally injures us? When it's completely over, stop jumping up and go over and put the light bulb back in."
"Then just wait."
"Ah, no, you are stupid. I am stupid and you are stupid too. Why don't you just drive the boat forward? Anyway, there are no fish jumping up now."
The eldest cousin slapped his forehead and suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Yes, you are stupid, there is no need to wait here anymore, just drive the boat forward. I will sail the boat, and we will pack it up later."
"
"Um."
Ye Yaodong didn't take any chances. He stood aside and waited until he had run a certain distance before talking.
His father's fishing boat next to him saw him moving and followed him away.
After sailing far away, the two boats stopped one after the other.
Ye Yaodong also saw a few scattered on his father's boat, but he arrived too late.
After the two boats approached side by side, Father Ye climbed over and said, "You have quite a lot. It should weigh several hundred kilograms."
"Well, after all, I just kept hitting the boat."
If there was a ring of wood tied around the edge of the hull, it would probably be trapped into a hornet's nest, and maybe he could collect dozens or hundreds of kilograms more from the wood.
"Take these things in order first, otherwise there will be nothing to do."
"My eldest cousin and I will just take care of it. You go to the trawl bar first. The two of us can pick it up very quickly."
Father Ye nodded, there was no danger anyway, just let them pick it up according to size and put it into the basket.
The size of this wave at night is not much different from the one yesterday. Each one is very uniform, basically about forty or fifty centimeters long. There are some fish in troubled waters, mixed with a few that are nearly one meter long.
Not to mention, the long ones also have a great advantage. There are a bunch of bamboo baskets stacked in the corner. There are several large needlefish that have stuck their entire pointed mouths into the bamboo baskets, leaving only
The body and tail are wagging there.
Of course, I have been out of the water for too long now and can no longer move.
Ye Yaodong took the bamboo basket and pulled out the needlefish with its head stuck in it and threw it in.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really fierce, it's completely inserted!"
"The mouth of this fish is so hard, the sharp points can really penetrate into the meat."
"Of course, if you get stuck, you will die. This is no joke."
Nowadays, the medical facilities are poor, and it is at sea, and the roads are not good. If you get a vital wound, you will die without waiting to go to the hospital.
"This can be regarded as a small fortune at night. Haha, when the light shined there, I didn't expect that it attracted so many needlefish to jump on the boat. It was just like you said, just like dumplings.
"
"Many fish tend to light, but some fish are smaller and have less impact. Unlike this fish, which has such a strong impact, it can directly rush towards the light and jump onto the boat."
Moreover, these fish are too cheap in this day and age and not worth much money.
If you give it to someone, they won't want it. Otherwise, he can get a light to fish. Although it costs electricity, it is worth it to make money. Even if you don't make money, if you catch a lot and take it back, it will be used to feed pigs and chickens.
Feed the ducks.
Although it can be used to make fish sauce for his mother, the value is too low, and it is too time-consuming, and the fermentation time is also very long. It has to be fermented for half a year to a year before it can be sold. This sales time is also very long.
Time cost is also a cost.
If he had this time to engage in light fishing, he might as well make more money by trawling, or go fishing with long lines to catch big fish.
The old man who had been helping him organize longline fishing hooks last year met him a few days ago and asked him why he didn't set out longline fishing this year?
He only said that it was too troublesome. Those long-line hooks and baskets took up space and bamboo baskets. If he planned to put them away again, he would definitely trouble him to sort them out.
The value of the squid is high, and it also tends to light, but the light bulb is too dim. Where can I find a 1000-watt light bulb now?
Do you still want to use that little orange light bulb to catch squid?
"You've made a lot of money if you come across them. It seems like you caught more of these than you did during the day, so you should be able to sell them for more money."
"It should weigh about five to six hundred kilograms, mainly because they are quite big. Once this basket is full, we will carry it over there and pile it up first."
"good."
It only took the two of them about ten minutes to sort out the fish scattered all over the boat and stack them in the corner.
Then, they dragged the fishing net out of the cabin and prepared to lower it.
Today, I got off the net an hour later than usual. Ye Yaodong estimated that I would have to drag one less net today.
However, those needle fish compensations are quite worth it. The ones just now should be sold for twenty or thirty.
The fishing boat has been operating calmly on the sea. The two fishing boats are far apart and can only see each other's shadow.
When the sky just cleared up and there was a red light on the horizon, Ye Yaodong hauled in the first net, and unexpectedly two needlefish were hauled up in it.
He felt a little depressed in his heart. With this fish that slipped through the net nearby, it seemed that he would not be able to get into the water to fish for the box today.
It will take another day.
I don’t know when this fish will completely pass?
Not only did his side drag the net, but his father's side got up earlier than him and hauled in 4 fish. He made up his mind that he still couldn't let Dongzi go into the water today, so he had to be more cautious.
Moreover, we encountered shoals of fish during the day yesterday and again this night, all moving around this area. Who knows if those fish will come back and move around again in the afternoon? It is very possible that we will encounter them again.
Ye Yaodong also knew that he didn't mention it during lunch. He sat and rested for a while before continuing to work step by step.
I held it in yesterday, and if I hold it in for another day today, it doesn't seem to be that uncomfortable.
