Meanwhile, there are people struggling to catch 'golden croaker' in the autumn sea. As the catch has decreased rapidly due to rising water temperatures caused by global warming, the term 'golden croaker' has been coined! Since they are rare guests, there are countless cases of returning with empty nets. In the early morning, tension lingers in the sea of Boryeong, South Chungcheong Province, which is filled with boats preparing for fishing. In order not to miss the tide, fishing boats begin to cut through the sea at a speed of over 60 km/h. The moment they find a school of croaker through the signal of the bow crew and the fish finder, the scene is reminiscent of a battlefield! In order not to miss even a single precious croaker, the captain must also calculate the length of the net he must cast. A net of about 300 m is cast with the captain's signal. The boat circles the school of fish and encloses the net in a circle to trap the fish. The crew pulls up the enormously heavy net and immediately loads the croaker onto the waiting transport ship. If the net is torn, it is repaired immediately. The work that continues without a break is hard, and the moment you lose your balance on the rocking boat, it can lead to an accident, so you can't relax. However, if the catch is less than expected or the casting fails, they head back to the sea without hesitation. We visit the people who work hard to give you the silver treasure of the autumn sea. ※ Extreme Job - The Taste of Autumn! Mushrooms and Mackerel (2022.10.08)
