Chapter 728 There are fish!
"Oh my god, what is that?"
Seeing Fu Wan looking at the sea without saying anything, Ye Lin looked in her direction curiously.
But he couldn't see clearly. He could only see a black shadow on the sea, but he didn't know what it was.
Boss Fu was changing the trawl net and looked up when he heard what they said.
An old fisherman is an old fisherman. Even if he can't see clearly, he can guess it almost right.
"It must be a whale. With all the noise on the sea, it must be a whale feeding."
"Dad, you are so smart. It is indeed a whale eating." It was just a Bryde's whale that she had never seen since her rebirth, so she forgot to come back to her senses for a moment.
Fang Min, Fu Qing and the others were a little curious, but because it was still late at night, the visibility on the sea was very low. They could only see the general direction, but still could not see the specific appearance of the whale.
Just when everyone was about to give up the finishing work of sorting fish on the deck, a long and low voice suddenly came, and not only Fu Wan, but even Boss Fu and the others were stunned.
This sound is different from that of killer whales. It is not the kind of light whimpering, but rather sounds like a very ancient horn. If you don’t know, you might think it is a siren blowing a horn on the sea.
"Is this... is this the sound of a whale roaring?"
Ye Lin was shocked. My goodness, this pressure from the giant ocean creature was comparable to the howling of wolves in the mountains.
Fu Wan nodded and was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from the cockpit radio.
"Awan, Dad, are you there?"
Fu Wan quickly ran into the cockpit, picked up the intercom and responded, "Yes, brother, what's wrong?"
Fu Ming spoke in an urgent tone just now, and Fu Wan was worried that something had happened.
"Hey, it's okay. Did you hear that sound just now? Was it a whale? Awan, I think there must be a school of fish over there. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
"It's the whale eating..."
Before Fu Wan finished speaking, Boss Fu walked in. He had obviously heard Fu Ming's suggestion and his face was full of disapproval.
"What nonsense! Are you tired of living? You want to compete with whales for food in the middle of the night?"
Fu Ming touched his nose guiltily on the other end. What he didn't say was that Chen Balian also disagreed with him driving the boat over there.
It is also said that it will disturb the whales while they are feeding. Whales are most alert when they are feeding. If they are frightened, they will run and ram the ship. Their ship is not enough for the whale to hit twice.
But Fu Ming was unwilling to give up. "Didn't we follow the killer whales to fish before?"
Boss Fu was so angry that he almost laughed, "You also said it was a baby killer whale. If Awan wasn't close to the baby killer whale, why don't you try to grab it?"
This... he really doesn't dare.
Fu Ming could only accept his fate, "Okay, then I'll continue to drive the boat and drag the net!"
Hearing Fu Ming's lost tone, Fu Wan also understood Fu Ming's feelings.
Her brother simply thought that casting a hand net would catch fish faster, while trawling would take longer.
However, it is not impossible to follow whales to fish.
Just keep your distance.
"Dad, look over there, are there any fish?"
"where?"
Boss Fu tried to open his eyes wide, but the sea was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
"Forget it, my girl, you have good eyesight, did you see the fish again?"
Fu Wan nodded. If she was not mistaken, there seemed to be a lot of silver light in the rolling waves in the distance.
That place is at least two hundred meters away from the Bryde's whale. Many brave seabirds have already discovered the school of fish and are rushing into the sea.
Boss Fu could still see the shadows of the flying seabirds, so he immediately turned the rudder and quickly increased the speed.
"Okay, let's go join in the fun!"
"Tell your brothers to drive carefully and not scare the whales!"
Fu Wan picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to speak when Fu Ming's excited voice came from the radio station.
"I heard you, and I'm heading your way now!"
"I heard it too, but we're still hauling the net, so we might have to slow down a bit."
After listening to Fu Liang's words, Boss Fu remembered that he had not pushed his trawl net into the water yet.
"Awan, go back and tell Alin and the others to push the trawl net down."
Fu Wan responded, went out to give the instructions, and then returned to the cockpit to point out the location to Boss Fu.
At the same time, she did not forget to observe the movements of the Bryde's whale. It was fine when the boat did not move, but after sailing for a while, Fu Wan discovered that there were not just one Bryde's whale, but two.
It looked quite large, with its mouth open, waiting to suck the fish into it.
Occasionally, when they get tired of opening their mouths, they slowly close them, then sink into the sea to drive away suitable fish, and then open their mouths again.
The Bryde's whale is also called the baleen whale. It is named this way because it has a lot of streamlined baleen plates on its chin, which makes it look like it has a beard.
The Bryde's whale has a smooth body, is tile-gray in color, has two fins, and its characteristic is that its mouth can open very wide.

This type of whale generally likes to travel in groups and has a relatively docile personality.
Boss Fu didn't dare to go too fast, because the faster the speed, the louder the engine would be. Even though the Bryde's whale was docile, it would not turn down if disturbed.
As the boat slowly approached the rolling school of fish, Fu Wan hurried to the deck and asked Fu Shi, Ye Lin and others to prepare the hand-cast net.
The lights on the deck were very bright. When the boat approached the school of fish, Fu Shi and Ye Lin also found many fish jumping out of the water.
"It's sardines and mackerel!"
"No matter what it is, get it out first!"
Ye Lin shouted and threw the hand net out. Fu Shi, Fu Wan and others were not idle either.
At this time, time is money. Seeing that his brothers and sisters had already thrown the nets with their hands, Fu Ming, who was holding a telescope at the back, had tears in his eyes.
Oh, if Boss Fu and Chen Balian hadn't told him not to go too fast, he would have stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
Fu Qing also wanted to throw the hand net, but her accuracy was not good enough, so she focused on helping Fu Wan and Fang Min to throw the hand net.
What was pulled up were beautiful mackerels and sardines, and Fu Wan's net also had two swordfish.
This made Fu Wan very happy, not only because the two Spanish mackerels were valuable blue-spotted Spanish mackerels, but also because the nets contained hundreds of kilograms of sardines and mackerel.
Apart from anything else, the cannery has the raw materials for this month.
The two Bryde's whales didn't stay on the sea surface for long. When Fu Ming and his team arrived, they just ran to the place where the whales had just appeared and took advantage of the situation.
All three ships had gains. Boss Fu originally planned to let everyone take turns to rest, but after this commotion, everyone became more spirited than the other.
After everyone finally packed up the sardines and mackerel and put them into the cold storage, Fu Wan quickly sent Fu Qing to bed. However, she herself couldn't sleep. After thinking for a while, she took out the lure fishing rod from under the bed and left the cabin.
"Brother A-Lin, Brother A-Shi, how about a catch?"
