Chapter 1266 One after another(1/3)

Anyway, he first advertised his fresh-picking ship.

He knows that the benefits from fishing in Shopee are also huge. The fishing grounds here are really rich in resources, not only the four major economic fish, but also other fishing seasons that change throughout the year, and there are also many.

His fresh-picking boat, except for picking up goods every two days, is docked at the dock at other times. It would be better if he could get some more business.

He should treat this as a dead horse and a live doctor. Anyway, he doesn't need to cost anything, and he doesn't need to lose anything, just a few words.

But if he just comes here and there are no fresh boats to collect, or if he can't collect them, wouldn't that be his chance?

It would be best to have an opportunity for a face-to-face interview. If he directly shows the certificate of the vice president of the Vancouver Fisheries Association to several other captains, his credibility will be higher.

It just so happened that they were also from Wenzhou City, so he represented the official government, so he naturally gained trust.

Ordinary fishing boats don't dare to find strange fishing boats for fear of losing both people and money. He has an official certificate. This is his proof. It is much better than just looking for it outside.

During the flood season, their ship must have been the same as his ship. It could not dock without docking, and the profit would be higher if it continued to salvage at sea.

After asking for the exact information, the fleet accelerated and ran forward again.

When Ye Yaodong heard the VHF chirping sound, he turned it off first and watched the other person go away.

Then he walked out of the cabin and shouted to the people below: "Get ready to lower the net."

"Boss, are they approaching and asking for directions?"

"Yes, a fleet from a small town in Vancouver came here to catch shrimps."

"Ah, yes, before the typhoon, I saw quite a lot of fresh dried shrimps on the pier."

"There will be more in the future, and it's the flood season."

"It's so easy to make money here... Fishing boats come from everywhere..."

"After we dock, let's buy some fresh dried shrimps to eat. We used to eat dried shrimps at home..."

Ye Yaodong didn't answer any more. Seeing that the fishing net had been put down, he returned to the cockpit and continued his boring work.

In the past few days since they came out, the amount of hairtail fish caught has been increasing every day, and their profits have become more and more impressive.

Relatively, the risk has also been reduced, because the number of hairtails is large, and other fish species have returned to the deep sea due to the cooler weather, and some are not active enough, so the number has become smaller.

When his father came to pick up the goods, he said that the time spent setting up stalls on the pier has been reduced and he can sell out earlier. After all, the hairtail is sent directly to the factory.

Recently, the number of boats fishing for hairtail has also increased, and the cargo has increased. Relatively speaking, other grocery fish and shrimps have decreased, and the supply exceeds demand, so naturally they are easier to sell.

After the National Day, the weather got colder, and they spent much longer time at sea. Ye Yaodong stayed on this trip for a full 12 days before returning, during which time he was on the fresh-carrying ship to receive goods.

Half of the crew members on their ship are from the grass-roots team, and some are still very young. They cannot stand being at sea for too long, and even 12 days is almost the limit.

The same goes for the people on other boats, who are all holding on and cheering after being informed that they will return.

You need to make money, but you also need to rest.

He also thought that during this period, he could do more long-term fishing at sea and train crew members.

Otherwise, when the renovation of his cargo ship is completed, it will not be a few days at sea, but months at sea for a long time.

If there were no typhoons or strong winds and waves, we would definitely not come back. Such a big boat would be a killer for fishing at sea, and the profits would be huge every day.

(My cousin has such a big fishing boat. He specializes in fishing in the waters around D. I heard him talk about it at dinner two days ago. His boat was bought second-hand for about 3 million yuan. There are no shareholders.

He alone owns it.)

(There are 14 workers on his ship. Not to mention other things, the monthly expenses for the workers alone are over hundreds of thousands. He went out on August 1st after the fishing moratorium ended, and did not come back until a few days before National Day because of a typhoon.)

(In two months, he sold his boat for more than 1 million yuan. After deducting expenses, he could probably earn more than 1 million yuan...)

(Ah ah ah, I really make money.)

(But when you lose money, you also lose a lot of money. The money-makers are my younger cousin and an older cousin, who lost more than 1 million in two years.)

After the four boats decided to return, they chatted on the VHF and calculated the time to pull up the net. Ye Yaodong expected to arrive at the port just after dark, which was still afternoon.

It was time to go back, and the boatmen cheered up and hurriedly distributed the goods.

Only when the fishing boat was halfway along, Ye Yaodong saw a dolphin and heard the loud dolphin sound intermittently.

He quickly asked other people in the channel if they had seen or listened to the sermon.

By the way, I picked up the telescope and took a look. There were indeed several dolphins exposed on the water, and there were many small fish jumping out of the water in front of them, and some seabirds were also flying on the sea there.

At this time, the voice from the channel could also be heard in his ears.

Ye Yaohua immediately said: "I saw a lot of fish jumping out of the water on my side, very close..."

Zhou Daye said: "I also heard the sound of dolphins, but I couldn't see clearly..."

Father Pei said: "Go to Ahua's side and take a look. There may be a school of fish."

"Then let's all go over and take a look. My second brother also came closer to take a look. I saw it with a telescope. There should be a school of fish and a group of seabirds."

"good……"

The four boats all drove in the same direction, with the SF Express in front and the other fishing boats behind.

Only a few hundred meters away, several boats merged into parallel lines in an instant.

Ye Yaodong walked out and stood on the helm. He picked up his binoculars and saw the fish jumping out of the water in front of him. It was a barracuda, also called mullet, or black mullet, a very common fish.

Every year in early winter, when the northeast monsoon begins, it is the most fertile time for laying eggs.

The dolphins seemed to be driving closer to the nearby island.

"It looks like a school of mullets." Ye Yaohua said loudly from the other end.

The naked eye is not as good as his telescope. Ye Yaodong added: "It is a group of large and small dolphins driving away the mullet schools. The big dolphins are watching, and the small dolphins are driving them away."

"It's not easy to catch here..."

"Yes, there is an island right next to it. It is too close and the fishing net is so big that it will get caught on the bottom."

"Forget about fishing nets, even fishing boats that get closer will have to run aground."

"Forget it then? I see that the group of mullets is also a big group, black, white and black..."

"It's not easy to fish this way..."

Everyone discussed it for a while.

Ye Yaodong thought about it for a while and said: "I have an idea. Let's cooperate and bring out a fishing net. The boatmen will go into the water to stretch the fishing net to the maximum, and then swim from the outside to the island, just in time to manually collect the fish.

Catch them all in one go.”

He had calculated that there were about twenty boatmen in total. Although the fishing net was heavy, it could be dragged by many people.

This is equivalent to artificial seine fishing.

"Don't surround the dolphins when you surround them. They are big, powerful, and numerous. Don't try to escape by struggling. If you fail to catch the fishing net, your efforts will be in vain, and even the school of fish will escape."

"Besides, one dolphin is fine, but a group of dolphins can be very aggressive. Let the boatmen not provoke that group of dolphins."

Ye Yaohua agreed: "What Dongzi said is okay...it will only take a little manpower, and the fish school seems to be quite big. Anyway, we will return to Hong Kong soon, so everyone can rest when we go back."

Father Pei also said: "I think it's okay too. When we catch the fish, we sell them together and then divide the money from the fish."

Zhou Da then said: "I don't have any objection either."

"Okay, if you don't mind, just get closer, a little further to the side, and I'll ask someone to take the fishing nets out of the warehouse and sort them out."

Fortunately, it's only mid-October. Although the weather is getting cooler, it's not time to wear cotton-padded jackets yet, and it's not impossible to go into the water. In winter, it's freezing cold.

After Ye Yaodong finished instructing the boatmen, he also drove the fishing boat to follow them to the edge.

The dolphins also discovered the fishing boat, but they did not avoid it at all, and were not afraid at all. The dolphins' sound became even louder, as if they were trying to drive them away.

After they docked the fishing boat, they asked the boatmen to come over and grab the mouth of the fishing net one by one. Then they launched the fishing net one by one and swam toward the fish.

Ye Yaodong was on the boat and helped throw the back section of the fishing net into the water, as well as the float and sinker, and watched everyone spread out the fishing net.

With a pod of dolphins around, those black mullets can't escape at all, but these dolphins are not very afraid of humans. When the boatmen get very close, they hesitate to drive the dolphins away.

They whispered to each other, slowly moved towards the pod of dolphins little by little, and started shouting.

Those dolphins will still avoid them after all. When they see humans getting closer and closer, they will quickly swim to the side with their cubs.

But there are also some dolphin calves that have not left. They are among the fish and are still excitedly driving the fish to shallow water.

The boatmen could only drive away the dolphins in the outer areas. The fishing nets were already stretched to the maximum, but they did not give up. The opened fishing nets gradually covered the fish schools.

The dolphins in the outermost part of the sea were also anxious, shouting loudly, and the cubs inside seemed to have heard it, and started to swim out, but the fishing net had already been opened, and they would be trapped if they swam out.

Veins bulged in the arms of the boatmen. A large school of fish had fallen into the fishing net. They were now slowly pulling the fishing net up from the sea to the shallows.

Ye Yaodong and his group's boats had been temporarily stranded on the edge of the island. People also got off the boats into the water, pulling a pile of bamboo baskets to the shore while the water was flowing.

"Wow, the whole network is full..."

"The grass is all caught in the net."

"Successful, we really caught them all in one fell swoop..."

"This net is full, how many thousands of kilograms does it have to be?"

"Hurry over there, I think they can't hold you back."
To be continued...
