Chapter 356: Finding the wintering fishing grounds, exploding the net
After early November, the north wind started to blow, the weather turned cold, the number of fish in the shallow sea decreased significantly, and the winter flood season began again.
Liang Ziqiang's boat sailed to Longju Mountain, which he had not seen for more than half a year. However, this time, his boat did not stop because of the swarms of winter fish in Longju Mountain, but followed the direction of the winter fish and sailed forward.
This is a wave of hairtail season, the scale of which is astonishing, and the scene is quite similar to that of Longjuling last year.
On the sea, countless silver ribbons danced very smoothly. They were swimming independently, but they seemed to be moving in unison. This made people wonder if there was an invisible hand directing the myriad sounds between heaven and earth.
Liang Ziqiang's boat followed behind, and then a dreamlike scene appeared: the winter stream of hairtail merged into a wide silver rope, which was pulling Liang Ziqiang's huge steel ship all the way to the deep sea.
When they broke through the edge of the shallow sea, Liang Ziqiang suddenly realized that this was exactly the place where his lotus boat had to stop when he was conducting winter flooding in Longjuling last year.
At that time, he was anxious and longed to break through the edge and find the legendary warm wintering fishing grounds in the deep sea.
A deep sea place where fishes scramble for food but no one knows about it yet.
The big ship was like a steel beast that needed no power. It moved forward again and again under the traction of the school of cuttlefish.
After crossing the vast transition zone between deep and shallow waters, the deep sea unfolds before your eyes.
We saw more and more fish along the way, but intuitively we could feel that we had not yet reached the real wintering fishing grounds.
After driving for a while, a faint fog appeared between the sea and the sky!
The water was as deep blue as the deep sea waters Liang Ziqiang had visited before, but the biggest difference was the white mist floating up from the surface of the sea.
At first glance, it looked like mist and rain, like white gauze, or like diluted smoke rising from a place where there shouldn't be any fireworks.
One can't help but wonder, is this in the human world, or in the clouds and mist of heaven?
"It's already the beginning of winter, where does the thick fog on the sea come from?!" Liang Chun was already puzzled and asked.
Now, Liang Ziqiang would occasionally call a few crew members into the wheelhouse to watch him operate the boat and learn from him. At present, except for Zhu Tianpeng who was looking out at the bow, the other crew members were all around him.
"That's right. There's no fog anywhere else nearby. Only this vast sea is covered in clouds and fog. How could this be?" Lu Song's face was also full of disbelief.
"I don't know either," Liang Ziqiang said thoughtfully. "I saved a friend once. To express his gratitude, he sent me a message saying that there is a place on the sea where there are a lot of fish in winter. He told me to follow the winter fish and maybe I could find it. I didn't expect to find such a strange place while searching!"
He certainly couldn't expose it and say that he knew about the existence of such a high-temperature wintering fishing ground from his previous life. It would be most appropriate to blame it on a friend.
"Could this be the fairyland where the Dragon King lives?" Lin Liming actually hesitated, "Can we really catch fish here?"
After Lin Liming said this, Liang Chun and Lu Song actually became a little timid, and they felt inexplicably afraid of the abnormal situation before them.
There are deep-sea hot springs at the bottom of this sea area, which continuously gushes out heat all year round, making the overall temperature of this large sea area higher than other waters in the ocean. It is precisely because of this that it has become one of the warmest and ideal wintering places in the South China Sea, and so many fish rush here to spend the cold winter.
This is a scientific conclusion reached by experts in the 21st century after they studied the geology of this sea area.
Liang Chun, Lu Song, and Lin Liming of this era naturally could not understand what kind of scientific mysteries were hidden under the sea. Given their thinking, it is not surprising that they would associate it with the mysterious direction.
But their idea has a great impact on Liang Ziqiang's fishing plan!
"That's not the case!" Liang Ziqiang quickly took over Lin Liming's words and said in a speculative tone, "I remember seeing the well in the village in winter. The colder the weather, the more hot steam came out of the well mouth, just like the mist in front of us. In the final analysis, it is because the temperature of the well water is higher than that of the outside. So, the water temperature in this sea area should also be relatively high, the same as the well water?"
"Yes, don't sea fish like places with higher temperatures in winter? So many winter fish have come to this place. Aqiang should be right. It's just that the water temperature is high and it keeps emitting steam!" Liang Chun immediately felt that Liang Ziqiang had hit the nail on the head.
A few people thought about it and accepted it.
Liang Ziqiang continued to drive forward and drove into the water mist over there.
Although there was heat, it was far from being a thick fog, so visibility was still acceptable and did not affect the sailing of his ship.
The further we drove into the water vapor, the more we saw the underwater turbulence. The winter flood had just begun, but a large number of fish had already come from the shallow sea. The small fish enjoyed the countless plankton produced by the warm environment, while the big fish enjoyed the schools of small fish.
Below the water, it is not hard to imagine that a bustling world is already surging, just like a grand market. Above the water, fish of all sizes jump out from time to time, and it is impossible to tell what kind they are at a glance.
This is just the beginning of the winter flood season. Liang Ziqiang couldn't even imagine how abundant the fish would be here throughout the winter.
"Ready, start casting the net!"
Such a large number of fish and shrimps made his voice a little excited, and he gave orders immediately.
Several crew members quickly ran out of the wheelhouse and returned to the deck.

After a series of busy but not chaotic operations, the trawl net was put into the water. The steel ship sailed through the dark blue sea and the light gauze in the air, cruising at a constant speed.
The entire wintering fishing ground is not a small piece of water. Judging from the wisps of water vapor alone, it is so vast that it is endless as far as the eye can see.
After driving for a while, we found a group of reefs not far above the water surface in the distance. The shape of the reefs was a bit special, semi-enclosed, forming a natural atoll.
"Damn, this fog, these reefs, is this the legendary Penglai Fairy Mountain?" Liang Chun was deeply moved by the scene before him.
"Wake up, this is the south, where does Penglai come from!" Lu Song replied to him.
Liang Chun was just joking of course, but the scene at the moment was indeed quite beautiful.
Liang Ziqiang didn't pay much attention to the atoll on the sea for the time being. He crossed it and continued to move forward.
After about three hours of back and forth, we started to cast the net.
The net bag gradually emerged from the water and entered the deck along the stern slide.
At this moment, Liang Ziqiang and his friends suddenly felt that what they had always said before about catching a full haul of fish was actually wrong.
Only at this point can we call it a full net! Not only is the net bulging, but other parts of the net are also swollen to the point of being almost deformed.
The entire trawl seemed to be overwhelmed and would burst at any second.
Internet explosion, this is the real "Internet explosion"! (End of this chapter)
