Chapter 354 The island surrounded by fish
Chen Yishui pointed to the sky, "Although it hasn't rained yet, the air pressure is very low! It should be a problem of air pressure. There is less oxygen in the sea, so these deep-sea fish float up."
Liang Xiaoyu nodded when she heard this, "So that's it! No wonder, there is such a big school of fish!"
"Fortunately, we brought fishing nets. Without fishing nets, our trawl nets would be useless in this area, and we would have to watch these fish swim away."
Chen Yishui nodded repeatedly, "Yes! The sea area here is only forty or fifty meters, and the trawl net is not useful at all."
"If we were in deep water and had a few nets to pull us over, we wouldn't have to work so hard."
Sister Tang smiled and said: "Hard work is nothing, as long as you can catch fish, it's better than anything else!"
Just as he was talking, it started to rain, and it was getting heavier and heavier.
Fortunately, we have anchored and stopped in a safer place.
Everyone hurriedly hid in the cabin. Not long after entering the cabin, they heard crackling sounds outside.
Everyone looked outside and were shocked.
"It's strange, it's hailing here!"
Han Xiaorui also looked over and saw that the hail was as big as a red date.
She was about to get closer to the window, but was held back by Chen Yishui.
"Shipowner, stay away. Although the glass is strong, no one can guarantee that the glass will not be damaged."
Before Chen Yishui could stop talking, the glass on the window was smashed and there were thin cracks on it.
Everyone, step back and stay away from the windows.
"Everyone be careful, protect the owner of the boat and don't wander around." Chen Yishui explained that she and Wu Mengyue paid close attention to the fishing boat and the sea.
Sister Tang nodded, "Don't worry, we will take good care of the ship owner."
Han Xiaorui took the walkie-talkie to contact Qi Heng and Wu Guangfu.
They were also experiencing hail, but fortunately they had chosen a good place to park the boat and the wind and waves were less severe.
"Xiao Han, don't worry about us. It should be fine. Just protect yourself." Qi Heng comforted. Fortunately, he followed Han Xiaorui's suggestion and stopped here instead of continuing his night work. As long as there is a shelter from the wind, fishing boats are much safer.
The same goes for Wu Guangfu, who is very calm and collected.
At this time, the role of an experienced captain can be seen. Not only can it avoid danger, but it can also comfort the boatmen below.
Tonight, they also gained a lot. They have never caught so many fish like this in their lives.
The hail came and went quickly. After about half an hour, the hail outside stopped.
Chen Yishui made sure that nothing was going on outside, and then asked someone to come out, "Quickly clean the fishing boat and pick out the hailstones."
Everyone worked in a hurry and threw the hailstones into the sea.
Chen Yishui checked, "I'll keep watch, you guys go to rest first. Xiaorui, go to bed earlier, don't be too tired."
Han Xiaorui shook his head, "Sister Shui, you were all very tired just now, but I didn't work. I kept watch and you went to rest."
Chen Yishui couldn't laugh or cry, "Shipowner, although you haven't worked, you are pregnant, can you be a little self-conscious about pregnant women? I will watch for four hours, and Meng Yue will come and watch. We are captains, and if we get more money, we have to work hard. Much.”
Wu Mengyue nodded, "That's right, shipowner, stop talking. We have to be worthy of the money we get. Besides, we can hold on, so don't worry."
After everyone said this, Han Xiaorui stopped trying to show off, otherwise none of the boatmen would take a break, which would waste everyone's time even more.
At first she thought she wasn't sleepy, but when she lay down in the cabin, Han Xiaorui felt tired and soon fell asleep.
Others did the same, taking off their outer clothes, wrapping themselves in quilts and falling asleep. Only when you are well rested can you have enough energy to work. This is the experience of boatmen.
At midnight, the waves gradually became smaller and calmer.
Chen Yishui was watching the night, a little sleepy, and took out a pack of cigarettes.
I don't usually smoke, but when I feel sleepy at night, I smoke one to refresh myself.
At this time, she lit a cigarette and stood on the edge of the boat. One of the lights on the boat had just been broken, and now only one big light was left.
Looking at the dark sea, Chen Yishui stretched out. She had not slept for more than ten hours in a row. She was indeed very sleepy and exhausted, but she was the captain and could hold on.
At three o'clock in the morning, Wu Mengyue got up and replaced Chen Yishui, "Sister Shui, why don't you go to bed? I'll watch!"
"Okay! Pay more attention to the sea. I always feel that something is going to happen." Chen Yishui was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes and fell asleep when he returned.
At this time, Wu Mengyue took a flashlight and checked inside and outside to make sure everything was correct before returning to the cockpit.
But before she sat down, Wu Mengyue felt that the fishing boat was hit. Although it was not violent, it was felt.
When Wu Mengyue stood up and looked towards the sea, she was suddenly shocked. She shined the flashlight in her hand on the sea and felt that a large area nearby seemed to be surrounded by a school of fish.
Because I couldn't see the color clearly, I couldn't tell what kind of fish it was. Anyway, it looked like the fishing boat had fallen into a school of fish.
At the same time, Wu Mengyue also saw the familiar figure of Xiao Dai and immediately shouted, "Everyone, get up, it's time to fish, there are fish outside."
Hearing the shout, Han Xiaorui was pleasantly surprised and immediately used her powers to investigate. At this sight, she was stunned again, even more surprised than when she saw those big-eyed snappers before.
Bigeye snapper is a large school of fish, but the fish here are actually connected into a large area, surrounding the island and reef for several miles.
Han Xiaorui didn't understand what was going to happen here, that so many fish were gathering here.
Very abnormal!
But when fishermen see a school of fish, of course they want to catch it!
As for the abnormality, we have to catch the fish first and then talk about it.
Seeing fish not caught in time is as uncomfortable as cutting meat, making it difficult to sleep or eat well.
All the boatmen got up, even Chen Yishui, who had just slept for more than an hour, got up immediately.
Seeing so many fish, what are you waiting for, catch it!
As for fatigue, I have just had a rest. Although I have not fully recovered, as long as I see the fish, I am full of energy.
"I will divide the work for everyone..." Wu Mengyue explained, and soon these female boat workers began to work.
Han Xiaorui held the binoculars and saw that the other side had not moved yet. He must not have noticed it yet, so he called through the intercom.
A deputy captain was smoking and dozing off. When he heard the voice coming from the intercom, he immediately picked up the call, "Captain Xiao Han, what's the matter?"
Han Xiaorui said: "Now there are fish all around the fishing boat. Let people get up and fish quickly."
After saying that, Han Xiaorui immediately hung up and called Wu Guangfu's ship again.
Soon both ships began to take action.
There are so many of these fish now that we can’t still drag the net, but we have to cast the net.
However, everyone no longer has the strength to pull the net by themselves, so they can only cast the net and then use the net hoist to pull the net.
When the first net fell on the deck and was untied, everyone was dumbfounded.
