Thinking of this, Feng Ye quickly turned his head and shouted towards the driver's seat: "Ah Can, go and see, the school of fish might be over there!"
Actually, even without him saying it, Ah-Can realized this.
He immediately adjusted the course, piloting the Dong Sheng at full speed to chase after the direction the seabird had flown away.
The ship rose and fell in the waves, and the roar of the engine was deafening, but it could not conceal the excitement and anticipation in everyone's hearts.
Feng Ye gripped the gunwale tightly, his eyes fixed intently on what lay ahead.
Another ten minutes or so passed.
The flock of seabirds finally stopped flying forward and circled in the air, with some swooping down to hunt.
The Dong Sheng continued for a few more minutes and arrived at the place where seabirds were circling.
Feng Ye's heart began to race involuntarily.
Instantly, everyone's eyes widened.
"A school of fish! There really is a school of fish!"
"Haha, we finally found it!"
It's a good thing there's no fish-finding radar these days, otherwise we would have already spotted the school of fish and wouldn't have needed these seabirds to lead the way.
"A storm, a fish storm, we're so lucky..."
All I could see beneath the surface of the water were fish, so many that I couldn't tell how many there were.
They gathered into a huge cylinder, stretching from the sea surface to an unknown depth underwater.
And it kept circling around the center, like a tornado in the water.
This is a fish storm!
What kind of fish is it?
Ah-Can, unable to contain his curiosity, ran out of the driver's seat and stood on the pier platform, asking loudly with curiosity.
He could only see the movement on the surface of the sea, not what was happening deeper in the water.
"It looks a bit like Zhang Hong, but there are too many fish that look alike in the sea. I can't be sure if it is Zhang Hong. We'll only know if we catch it."
Feng Ye turned around and said something, then immediately turned his head back, staring intently at the storm of fish ahead.
He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't given up the chase after the flock of seabirds disappeared.
Otherwise, you might really miss out on this swarm of fish.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's log off now!"
At this point, the Dong Sheng was very close to the fish storm.
The others, standing at the bow, also spoke up:
"Ah Ye, should we use the trawl net directly, or should we use the hand net first?"
"Needless to say, we'll definitely cast a few nets first."
"Yes, I also think we should cast the net first, and then put the trawl net down to catch the fish when the school of fish is about to disperse."
"That's the best way, so we can catch more. Otherwise, if we drag the nets over there, the fish will definitely be scattered."
Feng Ye nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. Let's cast a few nets by hand first, and then decide when to use the trawl net based on the situation."
After saying that, he turned back and shouted to Ah Can, "Ah Can, hurry up and contact Uncle Jun and tell them to come over quickly, it would be such a pity if we missed it."
"Okay, I'll contact them right away."
Ah-Can responded and immediately ran into the driver's seat to contact Harvest via radio.
"Haha, what great luck! We actually stumbled upon a fish storm."
"Hopefully the storm of fish will subside slowly so we can cast a few more nets."
"Yes, there are so many fish. If we catch more, even the cheap ones, we can still make a lot of money."
"It would be even better if it were something valuable..."
The people stopped gathering at the bow of the boat and dispersed, each finding a spot and casting their pre-prepared hand nets out as they talked.
The hand-thrown net traced graceful arcs through the air before finally sinking into the water and disappearing from sight.
Everyone held their breath, watching the water's surface with bated breath.
"I've got it! I've got it!"
Someone shouted excitedly.
Almost simultaneously, the other hand-thrown nets also began to shake, some even tilting as they were dragged along by the school of fish.
"Quickly, quickly, close the net!"
Hand-thrown nets were pulled up from the water and brought up close to the side of the boat.
The net was full of lively fish, their silver scales shimmering in the sunlight.
Through the fishing net, Feng Ye couldn't immediately identify the specific species of the fish.
Judging from her physique, she looks a lot like Zhang Hong.
However, it is definitely not.
Because the red octopuses swim in small groups of two or three, they don't form large schools, let alone create a fish storm.
At this point, he could only guess that it was one of the species of trevally.
(The red bream is one of the fish in the trevally family.)
Once the hand-thrown net is retrieved, take a closer look; you might recognize it, or you might not.
After all, the ocean is teeming with life, so many species that they are impossible to count.
Even oceanographers might not be able to recognize them all.
Moreover, he isn't even that yet.
What he could recognize was only a tiny fraction of the countless species in the ocean.
But no matter what kind of fish it is, as long as it can be sold for money, it's a good fish.
At this moment, Feng Ye looked at the lively fish with great joy, feeling as if they were a windfall.
He used all his strength to pull the hand-thrown net he had thrown onto the boat.
The hand-thrown net was untied, and the entire net of cargo was dumped onto the deck.
The fish leaped and struggled, shimmering in the sunlight.
This net is quite heavy, easily weighing eighty or ninety pounds.
Feng Ye casually grabbed a fish and examined it closely.
This fish is over 60 centimeters long, with a laterally compressed, oval-shaped body.
The fish has a blue-green back, a silvery-white belly, and black spots on the upper edge of its gill covers.
