The fish are wandering in the sea, so it is difficult to get off the fishing rope, but it is not appropriate to use the trawl. It is dark at night, windy and high waves, and it is difficult to get into the water. As the fishing boat starts, the fish are easily frightened and scattered.

The red snapper is not as good as the mackerel. Its population is not large and the number is not large. Once it is frightened, the fishing net will be useless.

This is because it is difficult to catch red snappers in large quantities. Ao Muyang had to drive away the tigers first, then release gold drops to attract the fish to return. During this period, he took a small boat on the sea, putting gold drops from time to time to stabilize them, and then directed everyone to get off the fishing rope.

A very long fishing rope extends on the sea surface, and the fishing hook floats in the water with the bait, waiting for the big fish to take the hook.

After the longline fishing was ready, Ao Muyang could rest. It was almost dawn, so he simply wore a cotton coat with Lu Zhizi on the bow of the boat to watch the sunrise.

Lu Zhizi cooked hot cocoa, and the two of them sipped together in small sips. The hot drink was full of fragrance, and it was very comfortable to drink at this time.

Everyone was busy on the boat before, and Lu Wuyi was also awakened. He drank hot cocoa for a while, and when the fishing rope was fully spread, he returned to sleep after the boat calmed down.

Lu Zhizi asked him if he wanted to watch the sunrise, and he said he would wake him up at that time.

After a ray of light appeared on the eastern sea, Lu Zhizi called him, and the sound of a howl came: "Can you spare my life? You are my sister, my real sister, can you let me sleep? I have dark circles, why do you still quarrel and not let me sleep? Is there any reason?"

Lu Zhizi was too lazy to pay attention to him.

From early morning until noon, the fishermen began to put away the fishing rope.

As the hook was closed, big fish with bright red appearance were caught.

"Real bream!" Ao Muyang said.

"Yes, it's so cool!" Lu Wuyi said.

Red snappers can grow quite large. When fishing resources were abundant in the past, fishermen could catch big fish one meter long. Now it is not possible, and it is rare to have eighty centimeters.

A lot of red snappers with only about one pound were brought on the hook. These fish are not small fish and can be caught. They are the most valuable. The Red Foreigners call them "boys bream", also known as boys.

The reason for this name is not because the pronunciation of bream is diau, but the pronunciation of boy sparrow has a unique meaning. This is not the bad taste of the red foreigners. The reason is that the meat of the fish, the red sparrow, is as delicate as chicken, so it also has a commonly known name as sea chicken, which comes from its common name.

Boys bream refers to those that have not yet spawned and are about one year old, with particularly high nutritional value. Wild Boys bream can make a main course even on the dining table in a five-star hotel.

Putting away the fishing nets, they harvested more than 200 red snappers of all sizes, which was quite a lot. The fishermen were very happy, singing fisherman songs and shouting horns, and continuing to break through the waves.

The surrounding waters have no value for longline fishing. The remaining troops of the snapper school have long been gone, so they may have gone where they will go.

I caught shrimps and red snappers. The purpose of going to sea this time has been achieved. The rest depends on luck. If you can catch something, you can catch something.

The big dragon number drove from the coast into the deep sea. Ao Muyang went down from time to time to explore the road on tigers. He gained something from behind and encountered a school of mullets.

This kind of fish is very common. It has a powerful ability to live in fresh water, salty fresh water and salt water. That is to say, they have strong tolerance to the living environment.

However, it is rare to encounter mullets in the deep sea because they like to live on coastal coasts, bays and river estuaries. For example, at the estuary of rivers in southern my country, there are many salty and freshwater mullet farms.

Mullets are not valuable, but they are better than nothing. If you sprinkle fishing nets, you will get a lot of rewards.

As usual, the fisherman's songs sailed all the way, it took two or three days to go out to sea, and the big dragon number began to return.

"The fuel tank of this ship is still a bit small. In the future, we can stay on the sea all month, when all cabins are full, and when will we go back?" Ao Mudong said with a smug look.

Ao Muyang said: "Do you think that ship is nuclear-powered? You have been on the sea for the whole month, don't dream."

"That's not going to run back two days after coming out."

The big dragon number must stay on the sea. The fuel tank of this ship is not too large, but it can last for ten or eight days. It is okay to go to the northern waters and the Fusang waters.

But for safety, Ao Muyang did not want to stay at sea for a long time. In this case, there was no need to fill up the fishing boat. You should know that after the additional load is too heavy, it would still consume excess fuel.

The last trip to sea this year, they had a good harvest. When they returned to the dock, everyone was very happy.

Ao Daguo said with regret, "This time it's a good harvest, but unfortunately it's not as good as the head-on mane now, otherwise we will definitely win the first place this time."

"If we drive the head-on mane all year round, then there is nothing to go to sea this time. We can also get the head-on flag. If we don't brag, we will take other ships to sea for one year in one month." Ao Mudong said confidently.

Front Man is a name for a local folk fishing competition in Hongyang. It is to find a period of time every year to set it as the fishing season, and then register the catches during this period, and finally compare who gets more. This is called Front Man.

In the past, there were many fishing competitions, and the fishing season was set for a short time. It was often a period of fishing floods. For example, yellow croakers head-on, which was chosen for a period of time every year to carry out the spring floods and autumn floods.

As Hongyang City gradually became a metropolis, cities began to develop by relying on industry, transportation and even tourism, and fishery production gradually entered the transition and declined. The folk evaluation activity of the front mane became increasingly weak and simplified. By the 21st century, it disappeared directly, and no fishermen would participate in such activities, and no units would organize it.

The reason why I mentioned this fisherman custom today is that there was a waxing mane activity in the past, which started once every year at the end of the year. After the big guys were busy reviewing the mane, they went back to celebrate the New Year.

The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. Ao Mudong and Ao Daguo and others chatted casually and stopped talking. Ao Muyang was moved and said, "Our fishermen's traditional activities are getting fewer and fewer. These activities are intangible cultural heritages. We should find a way to keep them. Let's talk about this front-end mane, which is such an interesting custom, right? If we do it again, it will definitely be exciting."

Ao Daguo said: "What's so exciting? How many fishing boats are there on the sea now? How many fish can you catch? Besides, there are no units to organize it. In the past, the county party committee took the lead. With rewards, everyone is enthusiastic. Now? Humph."

As he said that, he shook his head.

It is actually not difficult to find an organizational unit. Ao Muyang can tell Dai Zongxi that the Hongyang Ocean and Fisheries Bureau will take the lead. However, Ao Daguo mentioned a problem. There are few fish in the sea now, and there are even fewer near the sea. The resources of large and small yellow croaker are almost extinct. There are indeed not many fishermen who are interested in participating in such activities.
