at this time.
At the fishing port pier.
Many fishing boats are preparing to set sail.
Judging from the lights and equipment on the boat, they were also heading for squid, clearly hoping to take this opportunity to catch more squid and make some extra money.
Squid isn't cheap these days!
Even if you catch them and sell them wholesale to middlemen, you can get nearly two yuan per kilogram. If you catch a hundred kilograms, you can earn as much as one or two months' income.
"Yankees!"
"Hurry up and set sail! Let's try to catch as many squid as possible tonight, at least we can't lose money—"
Fang Hao shouted at Fang Qiang.
It's the peak season for squid.
We have to go all out!
This stuff is really good!
They can both dry squid and sell it for a good price.
However, the method of catching them is different from that of ordinary fish; it requires the use of lights for luring or catching.
It's important to know that squid, as a type of seafood with a relatively pronounced seasonality, typically only appear in large numbers during specific periods of the season.
"Alright!"
"We have to fill up the cabin tonight!"
Fang Qiang nodded in agreement.
After all, no one who goes out to sea to catch fish doesn't hope for a stroke of good luck and to make a fortune.
"I hope so~"
Fang Hao couldn't help but shake his head.
It's really hard to say what the harvest will be.
"Brother Hao!"
"I won't say more."
"We need to catch at least one or two hundred pounds."
Fang Qiang continued.
Squid is now two yuan per pound.
It can still make some money, no matter how much!
Every year during squid season, many people set out on boats to catch them.
People have already gone out to catch them these days.
Some people even use powerful flashlights to shine on the sea surface right on the embankment of the fishing port, and once squid appear, they use special fishing rods to catch them, or they use landing nets to scoop them up.
As they were talking.
Fang Qiang has already started the fishing boat and set off.
Fishing boats with their lights on kept cutting through the waves on the dark sea.
"It seems like quite a few fishing boats are going out to sea tonight!"
Fang Hao couldn't help but speak up.
Within the detection range, many fishing boats were found, including those from the same village and those from neighboring villages.
It seems everyone is just like them.
Off to catch squid!
Although going out to sea at night is much more dangerous than during the day, people have no choice but to take the risk in order to make a living.
Life safety is very important!
Being able to survive and eat are also important.
In life, many people risk their lives just to make a living.
Squid aren't always plentiful; they're only available in specific seasons and sea areas, so everyone makes sure to take advantage of them.
"That's for sure!"
"Squid are plentiful only at this time of year, so naturally everyone wants to have some—"
Fang Qiang nodded and said.
Everyone wants to catch some squid during their active season to make some money.
Be a fisherman of the sea!
They'll definitely catch whatever makes money.
"We'll just follow them!"
"After all, places with lots of people are bound to have more squid, saving you time searching around."
Fang Hao spoke again.
Just follow those fishing boats and you can't go wrong!
Many fishermen have spent most of their lives at sea and have rich fishing experience, which is incomparable to Fang Hao's half-baked skills.
Anyway, following their fishing boats will definitely help you find squid schools much faster than searching aimlessly in the ocean on your own.
Moreover, Fang Hao has an advantage in perception.
They might even reap greater rewards than them!
"no problem!"
"Judging from their sailing direction, they should be heading to Qiaotou Port, where there are more squid—in the old days, they would come in large groups, and you couldn't catch them all no matter how hard you tried."
Fang Qiang nodded and said.
As someone who has lived by the sea for so long.
Naturally, they have a good understanding of the surrounding waters, such as where there are many fish and what kind of fish are suitable to catch.
Just like catching squid right now.
They usually go to Qiaotougang.
Every year when the squid are active, that's when they become active.
There are a lot of squid in those waters, and in earlier years, people even stopped catching them because they were so plentiful.
Unfortunately, squid wasn't expensive back then.
They don't fetch much money, and nobody wants to catch them.
The number has started to decrease in recent years.
That's why the market gradually started to rise.
However, it's not as exaggerated as the large yellow croaker.
The large yellow croaker population is dwindling rapidly due to overfishing, and it's even on the verge of disappearing altogether.
The method of pounding the net!
That's comparable to a net that wipes out a family's fortune.
No matter how many large yellow croakers there are, there aren't enough to catch.
After all, large yellow croakers also have a growth cycle, and overfishing will lead to their depletion and extinction.
.——
About half an hour later.
The fishing boats gradually came to a stop.
Fang Hao and his companion also arrived at a sea area.
At this time, many fishing boats were already fishing, using their lights to lure squid to the surface.
At first glance.
There were at least twenty or thirty fishing boats.
The ocean glows brightly in the night.
A scene of bustling activity unfolded.
Looks like there are quite a few squid!
"Yankees!"
"Drive that way."
Fang Hao then pointed to one side.
With his exceptional perception, he can easily identify which area within a kilometer has the best fishing boat catch.
We have to join in and get a share.
Go where there are lots of squid, you can't go wrong!
Catching squid is a relatively simple task.
When the light shines!
You can fish for squid there.
You can also catch squid.
As long as we can catch them, that's fine.
If you encounter a large school of squid, you can't catch them all; you can even use a landing net to scoop them up.
So how many squid can be caught?
That depends on luck.
If you're lucky, you'll return with a full load.
If you're unlucky, you won't even get a single hair.
"OK."
Fang Qiang nodded.
They then steered the fishing boat over there.
The ship's lights were turned up to their brightest.
Squid are caught at night mainly by using lights to lure them to the surface of the sea. Once the squid see the light, they will gather together unconsciously.
This makes fishing easier.
"My goodness!"
"Brother Hao, there are so many squid here—"
soon.
Fang Qiang's exclamation rang out.
Unexpectedly, after he brought his fishing boat over, he immediately noticed a large number of squid swimming around him.
The sea surface was covered with them.
I never expected there would actually be so many squid.
It looks like tonight's trip was the right one; at least I'll definitely make back the gas money.
You might even be able to make a profit!
"Looks like I'm having some good luck tonight!"
"Yankees, let's get this going!"
Fang Hao nodded and said.
Then I picked up the net and started scooping.
It truly is the season when squid are most active.
The sight of countless squid on the sea surface is quite exciting.
That's practically like picking up money off the street.
Squid costs one or two yuan per pound.
Catching one or two hundred pounds wouldn't be bad.
"Uh-huh!
""
Fang Qiang excitedly echoed.
His tone was filled with joy and excitement.
Having a harvest means making money.
You know, they came out at night.
They must be hoping to gain something from it.
Ideally, I'd be able to have free access to squid!
Let's catch a few hundred pounds!
That would really make you a small fortune.
