My deep sea fishery

Chapter 141 Earth Cage

On the deck, a group of people sat around to eat breakfast.

The breakfast is very rich. In addition to the essential eggs and fruits, there are also various flavors of yogurt and corn hot dog sausage. These are unlimited. You can eat what you like, eat as much as you want, Xiang Yang I feel that the crew members are doing it by themselves, and if they are stuck with the crew even eating food, it is really unreasonable.

After breakfast, Xu Fang had already driven the fishing boat out of the Qinglongwan waters, where the sea is clear, and few ships arrive, and the fishery resources are relatively rich.

"Get off the Internet!" Zhou Wang said.

"You can get off the net." Xiang Yang nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Master Xu, after getting off the net, the boat will stop. I want to go to sea."

"Received." Xu Fang's voice came from the walkie-talkie. Although he didn't know what Xiang Yang was going to do in the sea, he absolutely obeyed Xiang Yang's orders.

Zhou Wang got Xiang Yang's consent and immediately ran back to the winch to manipulate the fishing net into the sea.

Chen Qingsheng walked to Xiang Yang, "Should we stop trawling, just wait here?"

"I won't trawl the net for the time being, but it's not waiting." Xiang Yang gave He Mingde a wink, and He Mingde immediately understood and ran into the cabin with two sailors.

After a while, they lifted two large boxes from the cabin.

"This is a shrimp trap?" Chen Qingsheng took out a piece of plastic fiber from the frame, which was a bit like bamboo, said uncertainly.

"This is a ground cage. It can also be called a shrimp catching cage." He Mingde smiled and said, "Don't look at this cage with many entrances. In fact, its internal structure is very complicated. There is no exit. As long as the shrimp enters, it is impossible. come out."

The earth cage is also called the ecstasy array, because this tool sinks into the mud, so it is named the earth cage.

The ground cage has many knots, and each node is connected to each other. When in use, tie a heavy object on the tail and tie a strong rope on the upper part. After throwing into the water, tie the rope to a fixed object and fix it.

The length of the ground cage can be determined according to the length and width of the water surface, generally about 15 knots, with a total length of about 7 to 8 meters.

Xiang Chen's heart moved, "Can the ground cage be used on the bottom of the sea?" The ground cage was originally a tool used in the Central Plains to catch rice eel, loach, river prawns and other small fish in ponds, and then slowly spread to coastal areas. The fishermen on the beach use it less.

"The ground cage is a fixed fishing gear that can be fished all year round. It can be used on the bottom of the sea and the bottom of the lake. Put the ground cage on the bottom of the sea and catch it every few days. You will definitely get a lot of fish and shrimp." Xiang Yang said.

"Come here once in a few days?" Chen Qingsheng frowned, "But it's okay. After we go out to sea, we have to pass through this sea in any direction, but should we go out to sea once every few days, or ocean? If you want to go home every few days? This is not so good."

"Who said that?" Xiang Yang said with a smile: "This sea area is just outside the Qinglongwan area. Boating is a bit long, but it will actually take more than half an hour if a fishing boat equipped with an engine arrives. In the future, if we go out to sea. Just drop by to fish when you are not going to sea, and send someone to rent an engine fishing boat to come here when you are not going to sea.

"Then what if we go to Yuanyang and don't come back for ten and a half months?" Fang Youqun asked.

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes and said, "If you go fishing in the ocean, you will not get the ground cage up and then go out?"

Chen Qingsheng fiddled with the underground cage and said: "I have seen similar cages in Zhoushan Fishery. Often dozens of large lobsters can be caught in one catch, but their cages seem to be more advanced than ours. There are still The fixed piles are used to fix the cage."

"They use a special prawn cage, we just use a ground cage. It's good." Xiang Yang began to wear a diving suit, "If you are willing to go to the sea with me to put the ground cage, you should take the initiative to sign up. We will wait until the ground cage is placed. Wander around the bottom of the sea to see if there are any swimming crabs. If there are, I will catch some. I will give bonuses to those who go down depending on the situation."

He Mingde brought out a plastic bag from the cabin.Open it, inside is a whole bag of chicken racks.

The best bait for catching shrimp in a ground cage is leftover chicken bones. Because shrimps especially like to eat chicken, it is best to use chicken as a bait.

If you can't get chicken bones in a short time, you can buy chicken intestines from the market where you can kill chickens and put them in prawn pots to catch shrimps.

Of course, that is for general hobbyists.

For a fisherman like Xiang Yang who specializes in fishing as his career, chicken bones are not good enough. If you want to use it, you must use the best one, and directly buy chicken racks with meat as bait.

"How many chicken racks are placed in each cage?" Chen Qingsheng asked Xiang Yang.

"How many are enough? If you want a lobster to be bait, you have to be willing to pay for it, and put a chicken rack in each section of the cage." He Mingde said.

Chen Qingsheng looked at Xiang Yang. There are fifteen sections in a ground cage, and one per section is fifteen chicken racks. This cost is not low. If you can't catch lobsters, you can't lose money?Chen Qingsheng thinks it is better for Xiang Yang to speak about this matter.

"Split a chicken rack to make a few pieces, and put a chicken rack in each section." Xiang Yang said.

Xiang Yang's meaning is the same as He Mingde, that is, if you can't bear the bait, you won't be able to catch the lobster. As long as you can catch the lobster, no amount of bait will be distressed.

There are a total of four ground cages, and each ground cage has fifteen sections, which together require 60 chicken racks.

Several crew members worked together, and soon sixty chicken racks were broken and opened into each section of each ground cage.

Xiang Yang took Chen Qingsheng and several other crew members to the fixed ground cage.

Fixing the ground cage is not a difficult thing, as long as the rope is tied to the nearby seabed reef to fix it.

Here Xiang Yang had just tied a rope, and Fang Youqun over there patted Xiang Yang's shoulder vigorously. He kept pointing his finger in a certain direction to show Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang couldn't help but look in that direction, and when he saw Xiang Yang, he couldn't laugh or cry.

It turned out that a greedy and bold tiger-head crab couldn't stand the smell of the chicken rack before the ground cage was fixed, and got into the ground cage. Two large tongs were tearing the meat off the chicken rack for delivery. Into the mouthpiece.

"It's really a guy who wants to eat and die." Xiang Yang said in the heart, and then reached into the cage and caught the tiger-head crab with the size of the palm and threw it into the net bag that he carried at any time.

This tiger-head crab is a surprise. Xiang Yang looked at Fang Youqun with admiration, and then gestured with his hands to look for it separately, to see if he could catch more tiger-head crabs.

Fang Youqun nodded immediately, and then swam in one direction.

On the other side, Chen Qingsheng fixed the ground cage under a raised reef and looked around with satisfaction. Suddenly, his eyes were frozen on a dark object.
