Last sea trip of the year

(Baonghean.vn) - In the last days of the year, the northeast monsoon blows continuously, so fishermen take an early Tet holiday. However, there are also fishermen who try to stay at sea until close to Tet, hoping to earn extra income to cover Tet.

At the end of this year, the northeast monsoon continues to blow, the sea is rough, causing fishermen to take a break for Tet earlier than usual. Dien Ngoc fishing port (Dien Chau) has more than 100 fishing boats anchored there, since the 25th of Tet, most of the fishing boats of the fishermen here have anchored at the port, taking a break for Tet.

At the end of the year, on the Bung River, through Dien Ngoc commune, Dien Chau district, boats are packed for kilometers.

However, there are still fishermen who try to stay in the open sea to fish for a short time, hoping to earn more income. This old fisherman named Lam just went on his last fishing trip of the year, the product was only about 300 kg of mussels, snails and a few shrimps.

Dien Ngoc fishing port on the last day of the year is not as crowded as usual, because the seafood caught is not much and not rich.

Mussels cost 30 thousand VND/kg.

The main products of offshore fishing boats at the end of the year are various types of snails.

This type of snail is bought by traders at the wharf for 60,000 VND/kg.

This woman bought nearly 100 kg of shrimp, at the price of 70,000 VND/kg.

Fisherman Nguyen Van Tam, Dien Ngoc commune, said that his boat only earned over 3 million VND on the last fishing trip of the year. Compared to last year, this year's fishing trip was much worse because this year the monsoon winds came continuously, making it impossible to stay at sea for long.
