Chapter 1251 1235. Scooping Fish (15)

Taking advantage of the warmth at noon on the weekend, Wang Bo drove a yacht to go fishing. There were a lot of people on board, including parents, Atulu and children, as well as the young president and little Lolita. Most of them were children.

Looking at the waves rolled up by the stern of the yacht, Atulu said: "Boss, I have grown up, and this is the first time I saw someone driving a yacht to catch fish."

Wang Bodao: "We don't use a yacht to catch fish, we just drive there, and later we will take a leather raft to catch fish."

There are some fishing nets on the boat, which are all made by Bo’s father and Bo’s mother. They are connected to the nets with wooden sticks. When the time comes to get close to the fish school, just scoop the fish out of the water.

Silverfish are very courageous. Unlike most fish, they will not run away in fright when encountering troubles. They are stupid and bold, and they will swim in groups on the water surface.

This may be related to their gregariousness. No matter what kind of creatures, they seem to be bold when they get together.

But in this way, it also leads to the survival crisis of silverfish. They are not good at dodging and escaping, and they are easy to be caught.

In this regard, they are a bit like those musk oxen that just came to the ranch. Musk oxen are almost extinct in North America because the cattle are stupid and bold. Instead of fleeing when they are attacked, they gather together to fight.

Silverfish are lucky and have strong reproductive capacity, and New Zealand has promulgated protection laws early on, so there is no danger of extinction for the population.

The yacht started and soon approached the middle of the lake, where the number of whitebait schools was the largest. Wang Bo monitored the sand table and saw the position of the lake. There was a large school of whitebait swimming under the water, gradually approaching the water surface.

Schools of fish poked their heads out of the water as their boat passed.

Suddenly, a large piece of silver light flickered, and countless small silver dots appeared on the surface of the lake. The sun shone on it, like a small mirror, faintly shining.

There is a telescope on the yacht, Atulu picked it up and looked at it and said: "It's īnanga, very good, they like to live in large groups, and we will have a big harvest today."

"What?" Wang Bo asked.

Atulu said: "īnanga, Maori, is the name for this kind of silverfish. They are the easiest type of silverfish to catch. They like to live in low-lying swamps and water levels. They are the largest among silverfish."

Wang Bo nodded. He couldn't translate this Maori language, and Atulu didn't know the English name of this fish, but as long as it was delicious, it was fine.

They put down the kayaks, and then in two groups, one rowing and the other carrying a fishing net bag, they rushed aggressively at the whitebait school.

Atulu was in a group with his son, Wang Bo brought Little Lolita and Eva, and his parents each brought a child.

Eva said, "I'll row the boat, and you go scoop the fish."

Wang Bo shook his head and said, "This is strenuous work, and it is easy to stretch to the abdomen and chest. You go to help Dai'er, and she goes to scoop the fish. You come to help her."

The little loli was confident: "Sister, look after me, I'm sure I can scoop up a lot of fish, don't hold me back."

Soon, the kayak entered the school of fish, and countless small silver fish with short and long fingers appeared beside them, and everyone on several boats was ready to attack.

Whitebait is a species that can be caught legally and sold commercially in New Zealand. Depending on the area, New Zealand fishermen fish in different ways.

However, two methods are generally used for fishing. One is the portable net, which is how they use the net bag to scoop the fish. One is a fixed net, which is used to catch fish in streams. The net is opened and fixed in the river, so that small fish can throw themselves into the net.

But no matter which one is used, the net width of a single fisherman should not exceed 10 meters, and the total width of fishing gear should not exceed one-third of the width of the water flow, so that the fish can retain seeds and will not be caught by the net.

Seeing the school of fish in front of her, little Loli knelt on the kayak and shouted: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, hurry up, Uncle Atulu and the others have already started fishing."

Wang Bo laughed and said, "The school of fish is so big that they can't finish it."

Someone on the shore noticed their movements and also rowed over to catch whitebait.

Wang Bo saw that they were scooping with nets just like himself, so he didn't stop them.

After entering the school of fish, little Loli scooped the net into the water obliquely with the bamboo pole in hand, and then tried to pull it out with confidence.

But the area of ​​the net bag is very large, about half a square meter, and there are a lot of fish caught, plus the water, it is too difficult for her to pull it out with the strength of her arms.

Eva went up to help, but little Lolita was very stubborn, holding her breath and said, "No, I'll do it myself!"

The little bun's face turned red.

Eva said: "Don't go straight up and down, you little idiot, you hold the pole and drag it back, yes, that's it."

Just like a tug-of-war, little Loli pulled out the fishing rod, leaned behind the kayak, and Eva fished it out easily for her.

Father Bo was rowing beside him, and when he saw it, he hurriedly said, "Xiao Bo, don't let the baby do the work."

Eva smiled and said: "It's okay, Dad, you need to exercise even when you are pregnant, as long as you don't exercise too much, I don't do much work now."

Wang Bo nodded. It would be even more unhealthy to eat, drink and sleep every day when pregnant.

With a net, I caught half a bucket of whitebait, and the harvest was so great that Qingyang, who was with the boat, sighed: "It's a pity that there are no pheasants. It would be great if they flew into our rice cooker. "

"By the way, I will drop another daughter-in-law for you from the sky." Wang Bo laughed at him, "Your idea of ​​getting something for nothing must be changed."

Then Qingyang said: "I don't want a daughter-in-law who fell from the sky, how can I bring her home? Pick it up with a shovel?"

"Why do you use a shovel to bring your daughter-in-law home?" Atulu's fat son asked stupidly.

Atulu rolled his eyes and said, "Because it's already smashed."

The whitebait school was not afraid of small movements, and they rowed around like them, but they were still very frightened. Little Loli caught two nets, and the fish school dived into the water.

But not far away, another school of fish appeared, this time the fish was slightly smaller, not as long as Wang Bo's little finger.

After seeing it, Atulu said happily: "This is kōaro and banded kōkopu. I didn't expect them to survive in the lake. Hurry up and go catch them."

Wang Bo asked, "What happened to these two fish? Aren't they the same kind?"

Atulu said: "No, look, kōaro is fatter, and banded kōkopu is more transparent. These two are also common silverfish. But their children live in forest streams at high altitudes, and they are very rare in the market. .”

The nutritional value of these whitebaits is higher, and the small boats rowed past, and the small buckets of several people were filled up in a short while.

Seeing this, Wang Bo beckoned everyone to go back to the boat. There were small buckets on each boat, and together they caught a lot of whitebait.

Atulu and the others had no objections, and they were not greedy, as long as they had enough to eat.
