On the other side, the Harvest has caught up and is trawled about 200 meters to the right of the Surge.

The boatmen on the boat, like Feng Ye and the others, used hand-thrown nets to scoop up six-banded trevally from the water.

The number of six-banded trevally that form the jackfish storm is countless; once they spread out, they are absolutely overwhelming, stretching over a very long and wide area.

Otherwise, Harvest wouldn't have been so far away.

However, this distance is actually quite dangerous.

A distance of 200 meters is a safe distance between other boats and trawlers.

But that wasn't enough for two fishing boats.

Each boat had fishing nets trailing behind it, which could easily get tangled together.

Fortunately, since they were fishing for mid-to-upper-level fish, both boats shortened the length of their tow lines, which reduced the risk.

However, it's not to say there's no danger at all; you have to be extra careful when turning.

Feng Ye didn't need to worry about these things; it was A-Can who was steering the boat now.

Moreover, the Harvest ship also has the extremely experienced Xiao Zhaojun on board, making it virtually impossible for any danger to occur.

He doesn't want to think about anything else right now; all he wants to do is catch more six-banded trevally, constantly casting and hauling in his nets.

However, the fish disappeared into the water shortly after they were caught.

Feng Ye tried casting another net, but when he pulled it up, he found only a few six-banded trevally.

Seeing this, he was not disappointed at all; on the contrary, he was very happy.

"It seems the school of fish has most likely not changed direction and is still swimming forward, which is a good thing."

If only the Dong Sheng ship had been equipped with a fish detector, it would have been able to detect the fish population beneath the surface.

He would then no longer need to use such methods to make a judgment.

Fish finders actually existed as early as the mid-1970s. The Dongfanghong-III type, produced by the Luda Fishing Tackle Factory, was first used on light-filled purse seine fishing boats.

In recent years, Jinling and Norway have jointly produced the new Jibo 603 vertical fish finder and the C2Y-3B fish school detector produced in Xiamen Special Economic Zone.

However, due to the price, trawlers rarely carry this thing, especially private fishing boats.

Feng Ye also scoffed at the idea of ​​installing fish finders on trawlers.

The main limitation is that current fish finders have limited capabilities in terms of function, detection range, and accuracy, and therefore do not provide much assistance to trawl operations.

Otherwise, no matter how expensive it was, he would have installed one on the Dong Sheng.

But given the current situation, he can't help but want one.

Even if the detection range is limited and the accuracy is not high, it's still better than nothing!

He was wondering if he should install one on the Purple Aura ship.

Forget about the Dong Sheng; it's so expensive, the shipyard probably doesn't have any in stock.

Besides, it's enough to have it on one ship; they're all operating together, so there's no need to install it on every single ship.

He's thinking about it...

Feng Xuan nodded, "It seems the fish are diving relatively deep, and the hand-cast net can't reach them. Fortunately, we still have the trawl net."

After saying that, he turned to Ah-chan in the cockpit and told him to continue working on the current course.

"If you can't reach it, that's fine. Everyone's tired anyway, so it's a good time to take a break."

Feng Ye threw the hand-thrown net onto the deck and plopped down on it.

The deck was covered in seawater, which also helped to cool it down.

When he sat down, he didn't feel it was too hot; it was bearable.

Unlike him, the others did not sit down to rest. Instead, they all went to bring out baskets and began to sort through the deck full of fish.

It's afternoon now, and the sun is scorching.

These fish that have been caught cannot be dried in the sun for too long, otherwise they will lose their freshness.

There wasn't enough time beforehand, so we had to leave it on the deck for now.

Now that we have time, we should quickly pack it up and put it in the fish hold.

Feng Ye rested for a while before standing up, picking up the hand-thrown net that had been thrown aside, tidying it up, and then casting another net.

However, once the net was pulled in, the situation became less than ideal.

Apart from some small fish and shrimp, there wasn't even a single six-banded trevally.

"Oh no, not a single one? How is that possible?"

Feng Xuan turned his head to look at the haul on the net, somewhat incredulous.

Feng Ye shook his head: "Perhaps they dived too deep and the hand-thrown net couldn't reach them at all, or the fish may have changed direction and gone somewhere."

In either case, it's impossible to confirm at this point.

At this point, he became even more eager to install a fish finder.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this predicament now.

"Then what should we do? Should we bring in the trawl net?"

"Let's delay a bit longer, in case the fish don't change direction."

"That makes sense, let's delay it a little longer then."

Feng Xuan agreed as he continued to collect the six-banded trevally into the basket.

On the deck, everyone was busy sorting the fish, sweat dripping down their faces and onto the deck, mingling with the seawater.

Feng Ye didn't rest any longer and joined in to tidy up.

After working for more than half an hour, Feng Xuan suddenly said, "Isn't that enough? Shouldn't we close the net?"

"Let's accept it then."

Feng Ye glanced at the time: "So much time has passed, the fish can't stay in the same direction forever."

After saying that, he called two people, and together with Feng Xuan, the four of them went to the stern to collect the nets, while the remaining three stayed on the foredeck to sort and tidy up.

As the machine started, the traction line began to slowly retract, and the trawl net was pulled up and slowly emerged from the water.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the fishing net that was gradually being revealed.

The fishing nets grew larger and larger, and the catch inside them increased.

When the entire trawl net was exposed above the water, the catch inside shocked everyone.

The room was full of six-banded trevally, their bellies covered in shimmering silver scales that sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight.

These six-banded trevally were piled up together, seemingly trying to make a last-ditch effort, but ultimately it was all in vain.

"My goodness, this is a great haul!"

Feng Ye looked at the fish in the net, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had expected the trawling harvest to be satisfactory, but he never imagined the quantity would be so large; it was beyond his expectations.

He estimated that this net would yield no less than 1 jin (500 grams).

Big Explosion!

The key point is that it has only been delayed for a little over an hour.

If the fish continue to swim, and the situation drags on any longer, then the outcome will be...

Feng Xuan was also beaming with joy: "Yes, it seems our previous judgment was correct. The fish did not change direction and kept swimming forward."

The others were also very excited, cheering and jumping for joy.

"Trawl nets are still awesome!"

"Yes, all the nets we cast before didn't add up to this one."

"So many in one net, great! We can get a good price for them."

"It's a pity the school of fish disappeared; otherwise, there could have been even more..."
