Wang Yunzhou was right. The fish in the sea are indeed much more active at night, and most of them come out to look for food at this time.
For example, if you use a light fishing boat, you can turn on the light directly at night to attract fish, which can greatly increase the success rate of fishing.
Of course, the price of a light fishing boat is also very expensive, ranging from seven or eight million to tens of millions. Unfortunately, Zheng Gan is short of money and cannot afford such a luxurious fishing boat at this time.
After dinner, Zheng Gan continued to observe the map as usual. It was already completely dark at this time, and the number of red dots on the map gradually increased. Although they were not the kind of red dots gathered in groups, they were many times more numerous than during the day.
"Everyone, get ready and start casting the nets." More than half an hour later, Zheng Gan found a fairly good red dot gathering area and quickly called on everyone to prepare to cast the nets.
The people who were originally sitting and chatting suddenly became energetic, and came to their respective positions with excitement. They started to cast the nets according to Zheng Gan's orders. Now they all rely on this to make a living. The more they catch, the more money they get. There is no such thing as slacking off like in a normal company.
People like Jia Gui and the other two have been out twice and have received at least a thousand yuan in bonuses, so naturally they work harder.
The trawl net was already lowered, and Lin Hao walked over. "Brother, I was so busy with your wedding that I forgot to tell you. Brother Zhao asked me to tell you that there's a fishing competition in a few days, and I wanted to ask if you'd like to participate."
When Zheng Gan heard that it was Zhao Xing, the rookie, who organized the fishing competition again, he was instantly confused. "What kind of trick is he up to?"
"Haha, it's nothing big. He said there's some big fishing tournament, the kind that gets shown on TV, and he wants to form a team to participate. I heard the prize money is pretty good."
"Let's wait and see. When he comes to me, I'll ask him what the situation is. If he says it's just an ordinary competition, then I won't participate. I won't make any money and it's just a waste of time." Zheng Gan said. He didn't want to participate in such a meaningless competition at all.
Of course, if it's a competition with higher pay like the previous one, I would consider it.
Speaking of competitions, Zheng Gan suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, the fishing competition you mentioned reminded me that I also want to organize a sea-hunting competition in our sea-hunting area."
"Sea-hunting competition?" Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
Zheng Gan nodded. "Yes, it's the sea-hunting competition. The popularity of our sea-hunting area has declined a bit. Last month's revenue was not very good. It's time to organize an event to attract customers."
In the first month after it opened, the sea-hunting area was very popular. Whenever the tide went out, many people came to play. But now it is not like that. Fewer and fewer people come to play. This cannot continue.
Since Qiao Xin doesn't want to stay idle at home, she can make the breeding area better and treat it seriously as a career. Not only will she benefit, but the villagers can also enjoy a wave of benefits.
"Okay, it's up to you to decide. I don't have any objection anyway. If you need money, just tell me. I don't care about anything else." Lin Hao always has this attitude towards this kind of thing. He never thinks about troublesome or brain-consuming things. As long as you pay and tell him, it's fine.
Time passed quickly while we were chatting, and the fishing net was almost ready. We called Jia Gui and the other two, and then we all worked together to get the float up, and then used a crane to lift up the bulging fishing net.
"Everyone be careful." Zheng Gan said and pulled the rope, and all the seafood fell onto the deck.
"Oh my God, what kind of fish is this! It's so golden, is it a yellow croaker?" Lin Hao exclaimed. Because the distance was a little far, he could only see the entire deck covered in gold.
Zheng Gan said before even looking at it, "You're dreaming! If it really is a wild yellow croaker, we'll go order a light fishing boat worth seven or eight million tomorrow."
If it was really a net of yellow croaker, he would probably just buy a big boat. Besides, he couldn't be sure whether it was yellow croaker, but the red dot shown on the map was not particularly large.
"What! Yellow croaker! Let me see it quickly." Wang Yunzhou, who was about to come out of the cockpit to watch the excitement, heard Lin Hao's loud voice and rushed out at the fastest speed in an instant. If he really caught a wild yellow croaker in the net, he would be so proud.
"This must be a Meitong fish." Jia Gui, who was closest to the fish, picked up a fish and took a look at it, which immediately shattered Wang Yunzhou's hopes.
Wang Yunzhou was stunned, then took a closer look, and after confirming that it was not yellow croaker, he left very disappointed.
The black gill mullet, scientifically known as the black gill mullet, is a small fish in the middle and lower layers of the nearshore waters. It is not large in size, generally only about ten centimeters long, and the larger ones weigh only about twenty to thirty grams.
However, you cannot underestimate this plum fish. Its meat is tender and its bones are soft, and it tastes delicious. It is a very delicious fish.
As for Lin Hao mistaking it for a yellow croaker, it is understandable. This yellow croaker is golden in color, especially at night, and if you are not careful, you might mistake it for a yellow croaker.
"Hey, I was so excited for nothing. I really thought it was all a waste." Lin Hao was also very disappointed.
Zheng Gan also picked up a plum mullet and examined it carefully, then said, "Be content. The price of this plum mullet is quite good. Even now, during the fishing season, a pound of normal-sized plum mullet can be bought for around 100 yuan. If it's a larger one, it can be sold for 200 or 300 yuan."
"So expensive!" Lin Hao was shocked. In his opinion, the smaller the fish, the lower the price. He didn't expect that the price of this small plum fish would be so good.
This net has a carrying capacity of 2,000 kilograms, and at least 1,500 to 1,600 kilograms are plum fish. In other words, this net is worth 150,000 to 160,000 yuan.
"Don't be dazed, hurry up and get them all into the fish tank. If they're not fresh, the price will be greatly reduced."
Because Jiang Feng was sent to deliver Wang Guihua and the others, there is one less person to help with sorting today. Don't underestimate the lack of one person, the efficiency will definitely be much lower than before.
The five people quickly started to work, sorting all the fish according to their size, then picking out the small, rotten fish and shrimp and throwing them back into the sea. They picked up some of the remaining good fish and shrimp to eat as a midnight snack.
It took them nearly two hours to catch nearly two thousand kilograms of seafood. Looking at the time, it was just past ten o'clock, so Zheng Gan wanted to see if he could catch one more net at night so that he could go home early tomorrow.
After all, he has a beautiful new wife waiting for him at home.
