Catch The Sea: Start With A Sand Shovel And Take Over The Entire Beach

Opening the sea means that nets can be used, which means that competition at sea will also increase, and trawlers can work.

There is no such thing as a sea festival in the local area. Unlike when the sea opens in the future, many tourists will come to play. The village organizes a net drag in the offshore, and whoever picks up the catch will return it. Of course, except for some balang and yellow tail, , stone crabs, etc. If there are really good ones, you won’t be allowed to pick them up.

The fishing moratorium varies from place to place, but most of them start in May and open to the sea around early or mid-August.

"Aqin, why don't you come to town to see if you can buy some more bait and bring the ground cage with you?"

"Brother, don't be upset. Don't let it go today, otherwise you won't know when you can go to sea, so it doesn't matter if you delay it for one day." Zhao Qin advised.

"My grandma told me yesterday. I thought you knew about it, brother." Ah He was also a little annoyed. He had known that he would have warned her yesterday.

Zhao Qin looked at the two of them with some resentment. It was fine if he didn't know. After all, he had been studying hard for more than ten years (blushing). For those of you who have been hanging out at the beach for a long time, it would be too much if you didn't know.

Of course, thinking about it, he actually didn't feel too relieved, so he packed his things and the three of them got on the car and went to sea.

When we arrived at the pier, we unloaded the things and asked our elder brother and Ah He to carry the things ashore. Zhao Qin went back to get the bait and parked the tricycle at the purchasing station.

On the way to the dock with the bait, he couldn't hold it back. He found an alley sheltered from the wind and opened the system to explore. Now his merit points have increased to more than 2,200 points.

The cheapest one is the hand-thrown net, which costs 1,500 points in the system. He doesn’t know how to use it, but I think my brother should know how to use it. I don’t care, I’ll buy it later, just in case I come across a good product.

It's not disposable, you don't need to put it on the boat, it will always be needed in the future.

After buying it, I held it in my hands and looked around. It was only then that I smelled the smell of feces and urine in my nose. My goodness, the place sheltered from the wind really harbors dirt and evil, and it has become a natural toilet.

Do you have any sense of public morality?

When I came out, I happened to see the store next to me open. When I saw him coming out of it, his eyes were quite unkind.

Zhao Qin was really afraid of being regarded as a public urinator, but he knew he couldn't run now, so he deliberately stopped, took out a cigarette and lit it, then wandered towards the pier. Seeing how calm he was, the boss turned around and entered the store.

When he came to the pier, he found that he had bought a hand-thrown net. Zhao Ping praised him, "You are more thoughtful than me. If you have a net, you won't slap your thigh if it hits the goods."

If they encountered a school of fish yesterday, they would not be upset because they were not allowed to use the net, so today would be different.

"Brother, can you use this net?"

"You can use an ordinary hand-thrown net by the age of ten."

"Brother, I can do it too. I can spread the word very well."

Zhao Qin was depressed. It seemed that he was really not a qualified fisherman.

"Aqin, what are our plans for today?"

"Brother, let's go to the old place to put down the longline first, and then see if we can find a puddle to draw out. At noon, we will collect a wave of longline first and then hang the bait in another place, and then go home to collect it in the afternoon."

"That's okay too."

Ahe was already busy hanging bait. After the two brothers discussed it, Zhao Ping was responsible for sailing the boat, while Zhao Qin walked over to help.

Although I have a ship's license, the dock is different today. Large and small boats are busy leaving the port. A few impatient or large boats have already gone out to sea during the high tide in the early morning.

Their boats have shallow water and are not affected much by the tides.

It's different once the sea opens. Unlike the previous half day when I couldn't see a ship, I can see fishing boats operating in the distance from time to time.

Zhao Qin secretly prayed that his nest would not be occupied by others.

After arriving at the place, luckily there were no fishing boats operating. As long as they were near here in the future, other fishing boats would not get too close. This is also an unwritten rule at sea.

Everyone is looking for a piece of sea surface, and generally they will not easily break into the sea area where others are working. This will lead to enmity.

After Zhao Qin hung up the bait, he plugged in the UPS and hard drive he brought. He was afraid that he would forget it when he docked at the dock in the afternoon, and that the other party might know that his boat had done it and come back to do it again.

When they arrived at the place, the three of them patrolled the nearby waters. Fortunately, there were really no fishing boats operating here.

"Brother, if there was a boat, our place might have been discovered long ago." Ah He was talking about the bird's nest cave.

"There may be many rocks down here. If a trawler comes here once to hang a net, it won't come back again." Zhao Ping also mentioned a possibility.

As for the light fishing boats, don’t be afraid, because they operate at night, and the swallows have already returned to their nests by then, and they can’t even find them.

"Let's get to work. Let's put down the longline first, and then take a look at the small islands nearby."

"Aqin, how about we go to that small island with fresh water?" Zhao Ping suggested.

Zhao Qin hesitated for a moment, but still rejected the proposal. The direction of the island was due south, and the location they were working on today was to the west. It might be farther from here than from the village pier.

The speed of my ship is too slow. It takes at least five hours to go back and forth. If there is goods, it is fine, but if there is no goods, it will be too delayed.

He talked about his considerations, and Zhao Ping also responded.

"Then let's wander around and see if there is an island we can get to."

After searching for an hour, they finally found a small island, which was smaller than the freshwater island. There were fishing boats operating nearby. When they got closer, they saw someone on the other side looking at them with their hands on their foreheads.

There are flags on the ship, simple flags that every sailor understands, such as asking for help, but more complicated flags are impossible.

However, when they saw that they had reached the island and had no intention of setting up a net here, they relaxed their vigilance and continued their operations.

I was lucky. I found two puddles after walking around for a while. I threw a stone to test the depth of the water. I thought it was pretty good and started working.

Zhao Ping stayed to look at the water pump, while Zhao Qin and Ah He took buckets and wandered around the island.

There are obvious human traces on this island, indicating that people often go to this island to catch the sea. After walking around, Zhao Qin picked up a few large conchs. The taste of these things is relatively average, far inferior to the ring snails and east wind snails.

Tar snails, the big ones can’t eat the small ones and don’t have much meat, haha

Ah He picked up a small half bucket of oyster snails, which weighed about ten kilograms.

"There's nothing valuable. I just saw a reef covered with these things." Ah He was a little discouraged. If only they had been replaced by abalones, they would be worth a thousand dollars.

Zhao Qin smiled. He was not very worried. Today's lucky number is here. If there is no light in the east, there will be light in the west. Maybe longline fishing will be booming again today.

The two walked back to meet Zhao Ping.

After a while, the first pit was exhausted, and the harvest was quite good. Although the only fish caught was a decent bass of four to five pounds, and the others were black sea bream and white fish, but there were a lot of crabs.

"Brother, this is a crab pit." Ah He's tone was full of surprise.

At this moment, the three of them had caught more than a dozen blue crabs, which were not small in size. Although these crabs were not as good as sea cucumbers and abalones, they were more expensive than sea bass. A dozen pounds or more could be sold for several hundred dollars.

The two caught them, and Zhao Ping was responsible for tying them up. After turning over all the stones at the bottom of the pit, they found more than twenty blue crabs. What was strange was that there was not even a single stone crab in the pit.

"It would be great if the pit next to it has such a harvest." Zhao Ping said with a grin. More than 20 blue crabs weighing fifteen or six kilograms can be sold for seven to eight hundred yuan.
