These days at Cua Sot Fishing Port (Thach Kim Commune, Thach Ha District, Ha Tinh), fishermen are cleaning up their fishing gear and neatly mooring their boats to rest and celebrate the Year of the Snake.

Fisherman Nguyen Van Truong (38 years old, living in Nghi Son district, Thanh Hoa) and his crew, after unloading the seafood they caught and bringing it ashore to sell to traders, quickly returned to clean the boat and bring it to the anchorage.

The boat of the Nguyen Van Truong fishing group has a capacity of 260CV, the last trip of 2024, after a day and night at sea, caught many kinds of seafood, earning 12 million VND.

Mr. Truong said that he and his group of friends have been fishing in the waters of Ha Tinh for many years now. Their boats often catch seafood such as shrimp, crab, and fish, 15-20 nautical miles from shore.

In previous years, the weather was bad and the waves were big at the end of the year, so Mr. Truong and his group of friends often brought the boat to shore early to rest and return home. This year, the weather was favorable, the boats caught a lot of seafood, so Mr. Truong's group let the boat sail until the days before Tet.

"This year the weather is quite favorable so we go out to sea more often. After a day and night at sea, after deducting expenses, the four of us earned more than 8 million VND" - Mr. Truong said excitedly.

According to Mr. Truong, during this time, most of the boats going out to sea catch many valuable seafood. Some boats that go out for a long time catch fish worth hundreds of millions of dong. Boats that fish close to shore also earn tens of millions of dong after a day and night of fishing at sea.

Fisherman Ngo Van Dao (33 years old, living in Thach Kim commune) and his friends are rearranging their fishing gear to prepare to bring the boat to anchor to rest and celebrate Tet. The last trip out to sea in 2024, Dao's group's boat caught 1.6 tons of seafood, including grouper, spotted fish... for nearly a week, selling for about 90 million VND.

Mr. Dao said he was very excited that this trip to sea caught valuable seafood, bringing high income for him and his crew. After Tet, hoping for good weather, his group plans to go out to sea again around the 6th or 8th.
