Chapter 211
With Hu Youqian at the helm, Shen Fei and Shen Wentao, father and son, could collect the traps together very quickly.
Shen Fei didn't know whether it was because he was young and strong or because he was reborn, but he felt that he was really strong now.
Pulling up the traps was much easier than Shen Wentao, and the speed was much faster. He easily pulled the first few traps onto the fishing boat.
The first few traps were indeed moved by Waitou and Heihou last night, and the catches inside were stolen. Each one was basically empty, and the occasional catch was also small.
But after the first seven traps, the rest became normal, continuing the rhythm of the previous two times. There were a lot of fish and shrimps, some weighing seven or eight kilograms, more than ten kilograms, and even dozens or hundreds of kilograms. Seeing this harvest, Shen Wentao was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Hu Youqian, who was controlling the fishing boat in the cabin, was also stunned when he saw their harvest.
Only when you see Shen Fei and his team collecting traps with your own eyes, you will know how terrible their traps are.
There are almost no empty traps in the back. Each one can pour out a large basket of fish and shrimp, and some can't even fit in a basket.
Are they here to put traps in the sea?
Aren't they just here to buy goods? !
"No wonder they don't go fishing. With this harvest, I'm too lazy to go fishing."
Hu Youqian sat in the cabin, watching Shen Fei and his son pull one cage after another of the catch onto the boat, his eyes full of envy.
Which fisherman wouldn't be envious of buying goods like this?
He, Hu Youqian, is also a fisherman! A fisherman who makes money by fishing.
"Haha, Dad, this cage has three more lobsters. Together with the ones just now, there are seven. My sisters will have something to eat tonight."
Shen Wentao sorted out the three lobsters separately and said excitedly.
Hearing this, Shen Fei smiled and said, "There are still two traps. Let's try to get one for each of us tonight."
Although he had to take care of the three little daughters, he couldn't be too partial to them. He couldn't let the three older ones be watched by his son-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Shen Fei's idea was to take good care of them all.
"Of course there are. Each of these traps at the back has one or two lobsters."
Shen Wentao felt that there were many possibilities.
In fact, there were indeed three lobsters in the two traps at the back. Together with the seven at the front, they caught 10 lobsters today, enough for each person in the family.
Of course, lobsters are only one of the traps' harvests. The main harvest of these traps today is actually sword lobsters. Today, they got six or seven hundred kilograms of sword lobsters on board.
Although it's not as much as the thousands of kilograms before, it's still very good. It's another bumper harvest.
After the last trap was poured into the live warehouse, Shen Wentao said to Shen Fei:
"Dad, why don't we keep the traps here? I think the harvest here is pretty good. If we move to another place now, we may not get as much."
After three consecutive harvests, Shen Wentao had a very good impression of Turtle Island and suggested continuing to put the traps here.
"Let's change to another place. The harvest here is getting worse and worse. If we continue to put them, it will probably get worse. And there may be people who come here to catch sea snakes. If they target our traps again, it will be troublesome."
Sea snakes are dangerous, but there are also people who catch sea snakes to sell.
There was an incident last night where seven people in Waitou were attacked by sea snakes. Shen Fei estimated that someone would come here to catch sea snakes the day after tomorrow.
He didn't want the sea snakes to fall into the hands of those snake catchers, so he changed the location.
In addition, it can be seen from the fact that the number of sword shrimps is decreasing each time that the sword shrimps near Turtle Island have been driven away by sea snakes.
Now if the sea snakes want to drive the sword shrimps over again, they need to run to a relatively far place and spend a lot of effort to drive them to Turtle Island. Many sword shrimps will run away on the way, and the production efficiency is much lower.
Although he doesn't need to work hard, Shen Fei feels that it is not cost-effective to see the low production efficiency. It is better to move to a place with better fishery resources.
Hearing this, Shen Wentao nodded and said, "It's all the fault of Black Monkey and the others. They deserve to be bitten by sea snakes!"
Shen Fei smiled and said nothing more.
Seeing that they had put away all the traps, Hu Youqian walked out of the cabin and asked Shen Fei:
"Uncle Fei, where are we going next?"
Shen Fei thought for a moment and said, "Let's go fishing first. My father and I will sort the catch here, and Xiao Hu, you drive the boat."
"Okay." Hu Youqian agreed happily, turned back to the cockpit, turned around, and pulled the horsepower.
Let's go fishing!
After an hour and a half, the fishing boat was finally ready to stop.
ShenNeither Fei nor Shen Wentao expected that the fishing spot Hu Youqian mentioned, which was not far from the village, would actually take an hour and a half to reach from Turtle Island.
Shen Wentao said, "Dad, you said before that it would take an hour or two to fish, but it took more than an hour on the road."
"Xiao Hu said it was not far, so I thought it would take half an hour to get there, but I didn't expect it would take so long."
Shen Fei was also a little helpless. When he found out that it would take a long time to get there, most of the fishing boats had already left, and it was not worth going back.
"Then let's fish, fish for a while longer, and try to get back the money."
The location they are in now is actually considered to be offshore.
And this location may also be a spot that these fishermen know. Before Shen Fei and his team, there were already four fishing boats fishing nearby.
Seeing Shen Fei and his team's large fishing boat coming over, the people on the other three fishing boats were a little confused. Such a large boat of more than 20 meters rarely comes to fish with them.
None of them knew what was going on. Only one of them, who had seen Shen Fei fishing for yellowfin tuna, waved at Shen Fei and quickly moved his small fishing boat towards Shen Fei and his team.
"Dad, do you know this man?" Shen Wentao asked.
Shen Fei shook his head, "No, I met him once when I was fishing early yesterday morning. Xiao Hu should know him."
The fishing boat had stopped at this moment, and Hu Youqian was preparing fishing rods and fishing lines. Hearing this, he looked at the sea and said:
"That's Big Head Liu from Hei Dao Village, and he's also a senior fisherman."
"He's an okay person. He just likes fishing and catching fish. He doesn't usually participate in village affairs."
Knowing that there was a big conflict between Qicai Village and Hei Dao Village, Hu Youqian added that Big Head Liu was not one of the people who were hostile to the fishermen in Qicai Village.
Shen Fei nodded and began to prepare fishing tools. He was not too enthusiastic or hostile to Big Head Liu who was driving a fishing boat below.
Seeing this, Shen Wentao also speeded up the process of tying fish and shrimps, and scooped up a small bucket of small fish and shrimps from the live warehouse, preparing to use them as bait to catch big grouper.
