The dock was brightly lit, as if all the fishermen had come and were about to set sail as a group.

Fill up with enough diesel, add water and ice, and set sail with Black Tiger, disappearing into the night at sea.

So many fishing boats are setting sail in the middle of the night! The fishermen are braving the cold winds and taking advantage of the best fish prices before the Lunar New Year to go out to sea to fish.

Small boats typically carry three to five people, while slightly larger fishing boats carry around ten or more.

Fishing boats from nearby villages can't go far, and a round trip takes more than ten hours a day.

Net fishing mostly catches common, small fish found in nearshore waters. Trawl fishing is the primary method, catching sea hares, clownfish, large chub, flounder, conch, large shrimp, monkfish, eels, and hairy catfish...

There were too many miscellaneous fish, including cuttlefish and hermit crabs, most of which were small and worthless.

That's why fishing isn't profitable; the resources in coastal waters are really bad. Often, when you haul in a net, half the net is filled with garbage and the other half with miscellaneous fish.

Sometimes, instead of making money, you might even lose money! The only way to make money is to buy a big ship and go out to sea.

Ordinary fishermen don't have that much financial resources; it's the fishing companies that make the money.

People spend at least several million, and sometimes tens of millions, to buy a deep-sea fishing vessel. A single trip at sea can take several months, and they basically spend most of the year adrift at sea.

There is no ocean they cannot reach, from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean, and even the Arctic and Antarctic.

They invest heavily, and they reap even greater rewards! They can catch tens of thousands of tons of fish and shrimp every year!

Chen Hong was grateful that she had her own space; otherwise, she would have been one of those who could only look on with envy and despair!

Daylight broke, the weather was fine today, the sea was calm, and we passed many fishing boats.

As Chen Hong steered her fishing boat across the flat sea, she couldn't help but excitedly sing: "The sky is blue, the sea is blue, lift the anchor, hoist the sail..."
