However, catching flying fish is not difficult at all, and is actually quite simple.
Because flying fish are attracted to light.
They love bright places, especially at night.
By taking advantage of this habit of flying fish, a light can be hung on the deck of a boat at night, and swarms of flying fish will swim towards the boat and eventually "walk into the trap" and fly onto the deck.
As people from the seaside, they naturally know the habits of flying fish, and Ah-chan is no exception.
Therefore, he sighed, "What a pity, it would have been so much better if I had run into them at night, the price of flying fish is not bad."
Hearing him say that, Feng Ye also felt a little regretful.
Indeed, if it were nighttime, they might be able to capture the group of flying fish.
Judging by the size of this group of flying fish, it's easily over a thousand catties.
That's a couple thousand yuan.
Unfortunately, it was daytime, so we could only watch them sail away.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood: "Don't think too much, getting to the Sea Continent as soon as possible is the most important thing."
Ah-Can nodded, then asked in confusion, "Why did these fish fly out of the water? It's like they're running for their lives."
"I thought you'd already figured it out, but it turns out you hadn't."
"What did you find?"
Feng Ye pointed to the sea in the distance and said, "Look at the water behind the flying fish, isn't there a big fish?"
Ah-Can looked closely and indeed saw the faint shadow of a large fish underwater.
"There really was a big fish; it really was trying to escape for its life."
"Flying fish leap out of the water to escape predators."
"What are their natural enemies?"
Ah-chan asked curiously, his gaze still fixed on the shadow of the big fish.
"Mahi-mahi, sharks, tuna, swordfish and other large carnivorous fish are all natural enemies of flying fish. In addition, seabirds are also predators."
"So, it's quite lucky that these flying fish didn't run into the flock of seabirds."
"Yes, otherwise, if caught in a pincer attack, we'll either be eaten by seabirds or preyed on by big fish in the water."
Feng Ye nodded and continued, "The flying fish's jumping ability is an evolved survival strategy."
"They would leap out of the water one moment and dive back into the sea the next, using this method to escape the pursuit of predators in the sea or air."
Ah-chan exclaimed, "The laws of nature are truly amazing."
"You're getting sentimental now. Isn't it just survival of the fittest, or elimination of the unfit?"
Feng Ye shook his head, finished the egg in a few bites, and turned to hand two eggs to Feng Jialing in the driver's cab.
Unexpectedly, Feng Jialing refused, saying, "I brought mine too."
"Uncle Ling, don't be so polite, eat up, it'll save you the trouble of getting it."
Feng Ye shoved the egg over and took over the driving.
"Oh well."
Feng Jialing cracked open the egg and slowly began to peel it.
"Uncle Ling, when do you estimate we'll arrive?"
"If all goes well, we should arrive by the late afternoon of the day after tomorrow. But the wind direction is a bit off now, and if it continues like this, it may be delayed until the morning of the day after tomorrow."
"If God doesn't cooperate, there's nothing we can do. As long as we don't lose our way, a little delay is fine."
For short-distance voyages, as long as the wind isn't too strong, the impact is minimal.
However, long-distance travel is different; even a slight decrease in speed can significantly delay the arrival time at the destination.
However, Feng Ye was not in a hurry.
Sea freight is inherently much slower than land freight, which is understandable.
"If you can get lost while sailing along the coastline, then what's the point of going out to sea? You might as well just sell the boat."
"Haha, that's true."
After finishing the two eggs, Feng Jialing took over the piloting of the Rising Sun.
Feng Ye was happy to have some free time. He stepped out of the driver's seat, looked at the boundless sea, and felt a little bored.
The scenery of the sea is almost always the same, and he, who has lived by the sea since childhood, has long been tired of it.
It would be great if there were one or two more people on the boat; they could play cards and pass the time.
The boat was going too fast, otherwise I could have gone fishing to pass the time.
But getting on the journey was more important, so the boat speed could not be slowed down.
With nothing else to do, he wandered around the boat, looking here and there.
He wandered into the cabin and saw a net in the corner. After thinking for a moment, he picked one up.
Seeing him take out a net, Feng Jialing smiled and asked, "What are you doing with this net? Planning to catch fish?"
"Hmm, it's almost noon. Let's see if we can catch some fish to add some side dishes to lunch."
As Feng Ye spoke, he walked to the side of the boat and placed the landing net into the sea.
"Is it possible to catch it?"
Ah-chan saw it too and came over to ask.
"Give it a try. If you're lucky, you might catch a few small fish and shrimp."
As the Rising Sun cruise ship moved forward, the hand-catch net continuously filtered the seawater, encountering considerable resistance and requiring some effort.
Before long, he pulled up the net and looked inside; he had indeed caught something.
Although it was just a few small fish, it was still pretty good.
If we do this a few more times, we'll have all the side dishes for the noodles later.
Ah-Can exclaimed in surprise, "You actually managed to catch me!"
Feng Jialing poked his head out of the driver's seat and asked curiously, "What did you fish out?"
"It's just a few small fish, but it's better than nothing."
Feng Ye answered with a smile, emptying the fish from the net.
Ah-Can was somewhat disappointed: "It's a pity they're all small fish. It would be great if we could have a big one."
"It's good enough that it's available, why be so picky? Anyway, we're just killing time, so it's fine to play around with it."
