The sea bass in spring was plump and the spring fish was also very fresh and tender. Many of them were caught one after another. These were all good fish. Father Ye was so happy that he beamed with joy.

"Oh, we even caught squid. It's really almost the flood season."

Ye Yaodong untied the squid hanging from the hook and pinched its belly. He wanted to see if there were any roes in its belly and whether the roes had been discharged, but he forgot for a moment that it spit black ink from its mouth.

With a loud sound, a stream of ink sprayed all over his face, more than he sprayed last night.

Fortunately, he was wearing a hat, and the sun visor on his face was completely black. His eyes were also sprayed, but at least his face was not sprayed all over.

"Don't be careful, I know it will spray ink."

After speaking, Father Ye took the squid in his hand and pinched his stomach. Unexpectedly, there was still ink in his stomach, and he sprayed it in his face again.

Now it was Ye Yaodong's turn to laugh at his father.

"You knew there was ink in it, but you still pinched it. I've just been sprayed."

Father Ye wiped his face and it became even darker.

"I thought I was done spraying."

"There is nothing in my stomach. I should have ovulated. It seems that the flood season is only for these two days."

Father Ye threw it into the basket on the side. There were already a lot of fish in them, distinguishing the good from the bad.

Except for the sea bass, which is packed in a separate basket, because there is so much goods, the others are only distinguished by value. If the quantity is large, we can just sort them separately on the return trip.

There are 100 hooks in a row in Yanshen fishing, and the hit rate is about 1/3. There are both big and small fish. Some hooks have bait hanging on them, and some hooks have no bait on them, probably because the fish escaped.

Some fish on the hook were half eaten by other big fish, and some had only half left.

Basically all I caught were fish, except for the squid just now.

It took two rows of longline fishing to catch such a squid. If we fished again later, we would see a few more one after another. They were all caught with shrimp bait. Other baits were larger and could not catch the squid.

.

After they collected one row, they also moved the fishing boat forward. There were a total of 20 baskets of longlines, but the collection speed was not that fast, and some fish were still very active and could only struggle.

When stroking the line, Ye Yaodong pulled out the line, picked fish, replenished bait, and then put the fishing line into the water to continue working.

If there are any damaged ones, he will skip them directly. As long as the hooks still account for the majority, he will not take them back. It would be too troublesome. If he takes them back, he will have to rearrange them. He will take them back when more hooks are repaired.

But when he was collecting it, he clearly saw a two-pound transparent squid hanging on the next hook. But before he could collect it, a big fish suddenly jumped up, opened its bloody mouth, and directly took the whole fish.

All the squids were swallowed.

"Fuck..."

In the blink of an eye, the fish pulled on the hook and tried to run away. The dropped line in Ye Yaodong's hand was being pulled and kept sliding forward from the palm of his hand.

He didn't care about talking, and quickly tightened the fishing line. However, his body was pulled forward by the impact of the fish, so he had to wrap his hand a few more times and tighten the fishing line.

This is using bait to catch big fish!

Father Ye also saw the big fish that had just jumped out of the water, and tightened the hand net in his hand.

"Ouch, I was so startled that it ran away before I even reacted. You should put in your fishing line."

"I know, prepare yourself. If you receive it later, remember to use a hand net to catch it. It's a small tuna and it's not that easy to catch."

When he collects the fish, his father always has a hand net and other tools ready by the side, just in case the fish is still very active and easy to escape when the fish is hooked, and in order to prevent the hook from being swallowed, it is necessary to

Use scissors or a wooden stick with a hook to make it easier to collect the goods.

"I know, I'm getting ready. Hurry up and collect yours."

Father Ye stretched his neck and looked at the sea. He had just collected three or four rows of fish, and the fish that was trying to catch them on the way was the biggest.

Unexpectedly, one of them was caught catching what they caught on their fish hooks. Fortunately, the fish hooks they used were relatively thick, just to catch big fish.

The value of larger fish is of course higher than that of smaller ones.

Ye Yaodong pulled the fishing line in his hand, and the thin white fishing line strangled the palm of his hand tightly. Fortunately, he always wore gloves and was not afraid of the fishing line cutting into his flesh. However, as the little golden gun struggled, something in his hand

The thread became tighter and tighter, but it still cut into the flesh.

Collecting fish in this way is no different from fishing with a hand line.

"Shall I help you?"

Father Ye saw him pulling back and forth with the fish, but he didn't pull the fish close for a long time. From time to time, he would loosen the line in his palm and let the fish go. He was also anxious, worried that his hand was hurting because of the line.

Ye Yaodong gritted his teeth and pulled, "No, you wait on the side. How can such a big fish be so easy to catch? It's almost done. We'll catch it in a while. Take the stick and prepare to hook the fish's gills later."

Stop and pull us up together."

The thief is energetic.

The half-way cut Hu who could just emerge from the water, and ran away as soon as he encountered me, it is not easy to catch up with him.

And according to the figure that was exposed on the sea when he just escaped, it looked like it weighed more than forty pounds. He was not so anxious, so he just pulled it and waited until it lost its strength before taking it back to him.

This is the biggest fish I saw today.

The mermaid battle was going on and on, and Father Ye could only stretch his neck to watch. He kept moving back and forth, and it took him almost 20 minutes to get the fish out of control and pull it to him.

The sweat on his body was pulled out.

Father Ye also watched with joy on his face. When the fish reached the side of the boat, they were still floating back and forth on the sea surface, as if they had lost all their strength, but they could still flick their tails to hit the water surface from time to time.

He saw the target and swam in front of him, directly held one end of the wooden stick, and used the hook on the other end to pierce the fish's gills, and then gave it a fierce struggle for a while, and then slowly lifted it against the hull of the boat.

Come up.

When the fish's head emerged from the edge of the boat, he hugged the fish's head and threw the fish to the deck with a lot of force.

"It took me a long time to finally catch this fish."

"You bleed it to prevent the meat from becoming sour. I will continue to harvest it."

"good."

Father Ye threw the tool in his hand to his feet, then raised his knife and finished the fish first. This one is a small golden gun and must be bled. This fish is usually used for sashimi. If it is left for a long time without bleeding, the meat will be

It will immediately become sour.

Ye Yaodong shook his stretched arm, and then continued to receive the goods.

Because the hook is thicker, the fish caught are at least one pound, and larger fish or squid can also be caught.

Not long after this, he saw another big squid weighing two or three kilograms. It seemed that this year's squids were very plump. He had already seen several such big ones.

Maybe the small ones have been screened out and cannot be put on the hook.

"Hey hey hey, blue..."

After a while, his mind, which had been numb and calm, immediately became energetic again.

Father Ye was also excited, "Is it possible it's Dong Xingban?"

"It's possible, or maybe it's a small squid. They're both good fish. Let me collect it and take a look. This fish is also very active and pulls very hard."

Eastern Star Spots are not only red, but also blue. Of course, red ones are more popular than blue ones. After all, everyone likes festive colors, and red Eastern Star Spots are also more expensive than blue ones.

He flipped the fishing line on his wrist a few times and pulled hard. The blue fish also jumped out of the water. It looked quite ferocious, and it could still be so vigorous in its desperate struggle.

"It doesn't seem to be Eastern Star Spot."

"Put it up and take a look."

If you don't look very carefully in the sea, you may make misjudgments, and you will know after you collect them.

Ye Yaodong pulled for a while before slowly sliding the fish to him. He didn't know when the hook was bit, it must not have been long, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so laborious to catch it.

"It's Swallowtail Spot."

"right."

Both father and son looked at the tail and recognized it. The fish's tail was forked, like a swallow's tail, and the swallow's tail looked like scissors.

The colors of Eastern star spots include bright red, blue, and brown, but the most important thing is that there are many blue spots on the head and body. The biggest feature is that there is a nearly complete blue ring around the eye frame.

Swallowtail spots are also available in red and blue, and they are named because they have a forked tail like a swallow. This is also the main difference between it and the Eastern Star Spot.

If you want to tell the difference, looking at the tail is the most intuitive way, so when they pulled it closer, both father and son could see clearly what kind of fish it was.

"This fish is also a grouper, and it's also valuable. This one weighs about two kilograms."

"Well, I have to bleed it as well."

Ye Yaodong collected the fish with satisfaction, then threw it aside and asked his father to bleed it.

"I'm lucky today."

"You have always been very lucky."

"That's true."

"Hurry up and collect the ones at the back. It's almost 9 o'clock if you haven't collected many yet."

“It took a long time to get out of the boat, and we also walked around the island.”

He estimated that by the time he had collected all the longlines and hung up the bait and put them down, it would probably be noon, and the other two boats would probably come over to check on the condition of the branches.
