Chapter 62： Night fishing hairtail

Chapter 62 Night fishing hairtail

Before picking up half a bag of apple snails today, Yao Xin called.

"Ah Cheng, are you free tonight? Do you want to go out to sea to catch hairtail at night?"

"Yes!" Chu Mingcheng originally wanted to find the alligator gar at night, and then go to the large shipyard in Huangzhen to book a ship tomorrow. His family is a branch factory here, and the main factory is in Xiamen City, which is also a coincidence.

I didn't expect Yao Xin to come back to him to catch hairtail. The market price of hairtail is usually between ten and fifty. The difference is quite large, mainly depending on the size.

But the hairtail that is caught is about three fingers wide and can be sold for sixty or seventy, which is very cost-effective.

Whether it is a hairtail caught mainly depends on whether its body is brighter or not.

The body of the hairtail caught in the net will be ground and it will not look so bright.

Secondly, the yellow-eyed hairtail is imported from abroad. The meat is rough and not tasty, and the price is very cheap.

Domestic octopus has relatively delicate meat and tastes more delicious. The eyes are white and black, and the eyeballs are much smaller, which is easy to identify.

"Okay, then I will add you a seat. But there is one thing I want to tell you in advance. This time I will go to sea on Brother He's boat. You should have seen the grouper fishing last time."

"I called you here this time, mainly because we want to collect hairtail fish here. Forty-five catties with the width of three fingers, and more than four fingers wide and weighing more than one catty, we will give you eighty-one catties. When the time comes, we will give you 81 catties." Let's count."

"If you want to come to Wenzhou Pier after dinner at night, we will leave at six o'clock."

"It's okay if you don't want to, we will go fishing together next time."

"Sister Yao, add me one. I'll go right after dinner." Three fingers wide and forty-five catties sold to them. Although it is much cheaper than the market price, it is a good opportunity to make money. Chu Mingcheng is short of money now. , do not pick.

Moreover, the price for one catty was even 81 catties, so he had nothing to hesitate about.

The small-eyed hairtail produced in the East China Sea, the three-finger-wide hairtail generally only weighs about half a catty, and the four-finger-wide hairtail weighs about seven to eight taels to more than one catty.

Hairtail that weighs more than one catty is top-quality hairtail, and it can be sold for about one hundred and one catty in the net fishing market, so the price of fishing is naturally more expensive.

Therefore, the more Chu Mingcheng catches, the better the price difference Yao Xin can make.

And since they go out to sea to catch hairtail at night, it means that they have received news of the fishing season and know where there is a group of hairtail.

In this case, it is like the last time when fishing mackerel. The connecting rod can be pulled wildly for a few hours to catch a hundred catties.

This is a business worth thousands of dollars, how could he not want to do it.

"Okay, remember to come here on time at six o'clock. By the way, I have an underwater fish luring light here, which can attract small fish, so you don't need to bring nest materials. Okay, I still have things to do, so hang up first, bye."

Hung up the phone, Chu Mingcheng poured out all the apple snails in the bag and smashed them with stones.

As soon as he is free during this time, he will learn about the habits of various fish.

Be vigilant when dealing with wild animals in China. Don’t kill even an insect at will, because it is likely to be a protected animal.

Chu Mingcheng learns and popularizes various aquatic organisms, not only to avoid catching protected animals by mistake, but also to identify various marine organisms for fishing and hunting research, which is knowledge that will be used.

Hairtail is one of the most productive fish species in the East China Sea. He knows that he has learned about various habits.

Hairtail is nocturnal, and it does not swim horizontally in the sea, but moves vertically up and down.

During the day, they will swim to the middle and lower areas, and when night comes, they will slowly swim to the upper waters to look for food. This time period is also the best time for fish mouths, and lasts until early morning.

So tonight is likely to last all night. Chu Mingcheng didn't have the time to burn the apple snails, smashed them with stones and drove home in a hurry.

It was past four o'clock when he returned home. He took two fishing rods, one iron rod and one No. 30 boat fishing rod.

Then I went to the fishing tackle store to buy some clamworms, and I also specially bought a fishy-smelling silver-white small fish fake bait.

This kind of fake bait is specially used for catching hairtail. If the fish mouth is good, Chu Mingcheng doesn’t need to use lugworms at all.

It was done outside at night. After eating, Chu Mingcheng also bought two chicken sandwiches and a cup of date milk to put in the fishing box.

There is a high probability of staying up all night at night, and fishing is also a physical effort. If you don’t prepare to order food, you may be hungry and uncomfortable.

At 5:40, Chu Mingcheng arrived at the pier in Wenshi.

The pier here is quite big, and parking spaces are easy to find.

Park the car, put the fishing rod on your back, carry the fishing box and fish box to the stairs of the pier.

There are quite a lot of fishing boats parked here, and basically there are people on board.

There are a lot of people going out to sea for fishing every time the fishing season occurs. It is normal for dozens or even hundreds of small boats to gather together on the sea.

Chu Mingcheng called Yao Xin, but she had just arrived and came over with her own equipment.

"Acheng!"

Hearing the voice, Chu Mingcheng turned around and found her, so he hung up the phone and went up to her: "Sister Yao, are you alone?"

"Brother He is already on the boat, there are two other people besides you and me tonight." Yao Xin explained, then put down the fishing box and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

After a short while, a white fishing boat came to the dock boarding place.

This fishing boat is about eleven or twelve meters long. The front deck is small, but the rear deck is quite spacious.

This ship Chu Mingcheng feels very familiar, isn’t it the fishing boat he saw in that big shipyard?

Unexpectedly, He Zheng also bought one, so it seems that I have to find an opportunity to ask him how the boat is and how much it cost.

The two boarded the boat and found that the corridors on both sides were crowded, and only one person could pass through. The main reason is that the cockpit is a bit big, and it is estimated that the decoration inside will be more suitable for people to live in.

There is a steering wheel at the door of the cockpit. When a person catches a large cargo on the rear deck, the fish in the sea will run around, and even run to the other side of the boat, causing the line to be tangled.

This steering wheel can change the direction of the boat to avoid tangential situations.

After entering the cockpit and greeting several people inside, Chu Mingcheng was attracted by the layout inside.

Entering the door, you can see sofas on both sides, a mobile coffee table in the middle, and two people he doesn't know are drinking tea.

The top of the sofa on the right is the driving seat, and He Zheng is sitting on it.

There is a refrigerator and a microwave oven on the left side of the driver's seat, which is a place for cooking.

There is a stairway in the middle, and the door to go down is closed. It is probably the sleeping room and toilet.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, He Zheng didn't hesitate, and immediately sailed to the target location.

About an hour later, we arrived at our destination.

Chu Mingcheng put on his windproof jacket and gloves, and walked out of the cockpit with his equipment.

Yao Xin walked out behind him, and said with a smile, "Ah Cheng, come on, catch more at night."

"Okay, sister Yao, you too, I wish you to pull three hundred catties tonight."

He Zheng laughed when he heard Chu Mingcheng's words: "With your small body, sister Yao, fifty catties is enough for her. Tomorrow, I'm afraid that she will dislocate her hand when you pull three hundred catties, and I will have to send her off at that time." Go to the hospital."

Yao Xin was suddenly dissatisfied and said, "You underestimated me, why don't I pull a hundred catties at night?"

"You pull a hundred catties and I'll set a table when you go back tomorrow!"

"Okay, you said it yourself." Yao Xin immediately dragged Chu Mingcheng to the front deck, "Ah Cheng, let's go, and show him the 200 catties of fishing at night. I'm sure I'll eat this meal."

He Zheng was stunned, then laughed and shook his head.

But he didn't say anything, if the two of them could really pull two hundred catties, then he could at least earn more than four thousand, and it's okay to spend a few hundred for dinner.

After all, he can still bring his wife and children, no loss!
