Fisherman: Making A Fortune Starts By Reporting Spies

Great low tide period!

Reefs in the sea that you can't usually see are exposed on the sea surface, forming a small reef island.

In the vast sea, it is not that rare.

As the sky continues to get brighter, you can see clearly with the naked eye without any equipment. As long as you don't get too close, the fishing boat will not run into the rocks.

Reef beach!

A great place to put a crab pot.

Knowing his nephew's intention, Uncle Su adjusted his course, not too far away from the rocky beach, nor too close to it, and he would not do anything risky.

"Stop the ship!"

Su Xiangdong kept staring in the direction of the reef beach. He remained calm at first, but as time went by, his little heart couldn't help but beat faster. It was so uncontrollable that it felt like it was about to pop out of the body: "Attention all units, attention at all units...drop anchor, drop anchor."

Anchor in the sea!

This is definitely the first time. Even dropping anchor is the first time since I bought this fishing boat.

Generally, the anchor is not dropped. Even if the ship is parked, the engine unit is just turned off and the ship is swayed by the waves without paying attention to it. When it reaches the dock, there is a cable fixed, so there is no need to drop the anchor to let the ship move around.

Anchor is to fix the fishing boat in the nearby area and stop it completely.

"Anchor?" Uncle Su didn't react. Generally, anchoring occurs during typhoon season. Fishing boats return to port to prepare for typhoons. Why do they need to anchor at sea?

"You heard me right!"

Su Xiangdong did not explain, but promised that it would be revealed soon: "Just lower the anchor at the stern, no need to lower it from both ends!"

There are two anchors, both at the stern and the bow. When preparing for a typhoon, they must be lowered both front and rear. This way, they can be pulled and fixed at both ends so that the ship will not be blown away due to strong winds. After all, sometimes the next anchor Anchors are not safe. In extremely strong winds, it is not uncommon for a ship to be pulled up with its anchor.

"OK!"

Mate Liu also felt strange, but he still carried out the order, and he had to cooperate well in this matter: "Get ready, start lowering the anchor now, the boss of the ship, be careful."

"receive!"

The anchor, connected to a large chain, sank into the sea.

Directly reaching the bottom of the sea, as the ship moves, it hooks up with the sea sand, and the pulling force increases, reaching the effect of penetrating into the seabed, thereby ultimately achieving the effect of pulling the ship, and thus completely stopping the ship.

There are risks in lowering the anchor, and there are even more unknowns in raising the anchor.

If it hooks or gets stuck in a reef, there is no problem in fixing the ship to stop sailing, but it is almost impossible to retrieve the anchor. At that time, you must cut off the chain and abandon the anchor.

This is why there are many types of anchors. One of them is not an iron anchor plus a chain, but a parachute-like anchor. It is a special anchor that is thrown into the sea.

A large bag covers a large amount of sea water, generating great gravity, pulling force, and resistance, thereby achieving the purpose of stopping the ship and fixing it.

This type of special anchor must be made of special materials. Otherwise, it will break as soon as it is touched or pulled, and it will lose its original meaning. However, that thing cannot be seen at all on fishing boats. Fishing boats Only anchors and chains will be used.

It took more than ten minutes!

After the anchoring was completed, the pulling force was formed, and the fishing boat stopped moving forward. It was the first real stop at sea.

"Launch the boat!"

Su Xiangdong made arrangements immediately and had already planned: "Move the crab pots to the boat. Let's put the crab pots close to the rocks. Not too many. Just pull 50 crab pots at one time and divide them into 10 times."

"Da Liu... you can drive the boat. Your skills are good and your control can be more precise. Although I don't need to emphasize it, I still have to remind you that it's okay to slow down a little and spend more time." 1

"Xiang Nan... you go to the kitchen and find some knives. By the way, go to the glove compartment and bring me the net bag I brought on board before!"

Su Xiangdong——made an explanation.

"Hello!"

There are tasks that need to be done, such as moving the crab pots onto the boat. Before that, you also need to put bait into the crab pots. These all need to be done in advance.

There were also those who put the boats in and steered them very busy.

It's a bit puzzling to just carry a knife and a net pocket.

But Su Xiangdong did not explain that it was not necessary.

Su Xiangnan also moved very quickly. He returned to the deck shortly after going down to the cabin, already holding several knives and five net bags in his hands.

"Xiaodong...you want to go to the sea?" Uncle Su just came down the deck and saw his nephew taking off his clothes and wearing only boxer briefs, so he knew his plan.

"right!"

Su Xiangdong nodded, and it was impossible not to explain at this time: "There are good things on the reef. Although I can't confirm it 100% yet, I am 80% sure. I will follow the boat to have a look. If it is confirmed, I might be able to find it. Make a small fortune.”

"You...the weather!" Uncle Su objected deliberately, but in the end he didn't say it, just because he was worried about catching a cold.

"It's a pity that I didn't buy a diving suit. If I had a diving suit, I wouldn't have to do this!"

Su Xiangdong moves his body, which can be regarded as a warm-up. The sea surface in the early morning is colder than expected. Even though it is summer here, it is still very cold when it should be cold: """Don't worry about my physical fitness. question!"

"Fine!"

Uncle Su was also helpless. Sometimes his nephew was too opinionated, which was a good thing, but sometimes he was too opinionated. At the moment, he could only tell him: "Be careful, the rocks have been soaked in the sea for many years."

Very slippery. "

"good!"

Su Xiangdong nodded solemnly, indicating that he would be careful. At this moment, the first batch of 50 crab pots had been loaded onto the boat. He also jumped on the boat: "Xiang Nan... you bring another net bag and follow it, and wait until it is released. The crab pots also need manpower, and I have other things to do.”

"Oh oh oh... here it comes, here it comes!" Su Xiangnan was confused and couldn't understand what his cousin was doing, so he didn't follow him onto the boat immediately.

Everyone is here!

"Old Liu, boat!"

"OK!"

The boat set off and headed towards the rocky beach.

The distance is not far, only less than 100 meters away. This is because the fishing boat is anchored and a little further away. At the closest time just now (Nuo Zhao), the straight line distance between the fishing boat and the reef beach was only about 50 meters.

It turned out that it was very close, and Su Xiangdong could see clearly with his eyes.

It was just seeing it that made me so excited and made it so mysterious.

However, experienced fishermen, including Uncle Su, may have guessed what he wants to do.

He took a knife again and a net pocket again.

This posture is not an ordinary thing.

There is only one purpose and only one answer!

Dig abalone!

That's right.

What Su Xiangdong discovered was abalone, that is, the secret of the mutation of his eyes could not be revealed. He could only explain it in vague terms. He said he was 80% sure, but in fact he was as sure as Tian Chenggan.

Abalone was indeed found, clinging to the rocks, and there were quite a few of them.

Sometimes it really doesn't matter whether the quantity is large or small. The key is that wild abalone is valuable, and the bigger it is, the more valuable it is.
