Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1000: As Smart as Zhao Dahai
"I really don't understand why the speedboat we saw during the day had such incredible luck to find a place like this!"

"The seabed structure of this place is a bit complicated, but it's not complicated at all."

"What's complicated is that there are a lot of reefs on the seabed here. What's not complicated is that these reefs on the seabed are not very messy. On the contrary, they form trenches one after another."

"Don't be fooled by these trenches, they are not particularly wide!"

"But a trench is a trench. The depth of the seabed in such a place is different from that of other seabeds around it."

"Big fish often hide in places like this. Another thing is that if we can fish accurately in places like this, the chance of getting stuck will be very low."

Zhao Dahai gestured as he spoke.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming understood as soon as they heard it, and everyone was a little stunned.

"No way? Is there still a place like this?"

Lei Dayou found it unbelievable. What Zhao Dahai said clearly meant that the location where his speedboat was now was a very easy place to fish. This might not be strange in other places, but the structure of the seabed of artificial islands and reefs was very complex, and it was very rare to find such a place.

"what!"

"If it wasn't like this, how could I have said that the speedboat that day was so lucky?"

"If it wasn't like this, how could I have spent so much time sweeping around in this one place!"

Zhao Dahai spent about two hours scanning the area non-stop and discovered that the seabed terrain in this place not only harboured fish, but also that there might be a lot of fish. More importantly, fishing was not complicated. He simply didn't go anywhere else and used the fish finder to scan the area non-stop. His idea was to thoroughly understand the structure and terrain of the seabed here and wait for a good fishing trip at night.

“Is the structure of the seabed here really so suitable for fishing?”

Liu Bin was very surprised. He really didn't expect Zhao Dahai to say that the sea structure here was very suitable for fishing. From what he said, it was clear that it was not easy to get stuck on the bottom.

"That's right! This place is like this! One is that there is a trench here, which is deeper than other places around it. It is very easy for fish to gather in such places. Another is that this place is really not easy to get stuck on the bottom, at least compared to other places on artificial islands and reefs, it is very difficult to get stuck on the bottom."

Zhao Dahai nodded with 100% certainty. If it wasn't for this situation, he would never have spent so much time in this place, but he had never done such a thing before.

"Correct!"

"That must be the case. Otherwise, how could we have caught so many fish when we saw that speedboat during the day?"

Lei Da slapped his thigh.

The number of fish caught by the people on the speedboat we saw during the day was not considered too many, but that depends on who we compared them with.

If compared with Zhao Dahai and himself, the number is definitely less, but if compared with other people who come here to fish on speedboats, the number of fish caught is definitely a lot.

When I saw him during the day, I was really surprised. I thought this was a fishing expert who appeared out of nowhere. I didn't expect it to be like this.

"In this case, we have to go fishing tonight. We will definitely catch a lot of fish."

Zhong Shizhu put down the bowl in his hand, stood up and walked to the gun stand at his fishing spot, immediately set up the rod and checked it again.

"what?"

"Are the fish here really so easy to catch tonight?"

Shi Guangming scratched his hair in disbelief. After Zhao Dahai said this, it seemed that any fish in the sea could be caught easily.

"Grandpa Shi."

"I wouldn't dare to say anything about other times or other places, but the fish in this place tonight shouldn't be hard to catch, and they should all be big. Do you want to take a fishing rod and have some fun?"

Zhao Dahai pointed to an empty fishing spot. His speedboat was very large. Not to mention the four of us, including himself and Zhong Shizhu, even if four more people came, there would be no problem. If they wanted to fish, there would definitely be a spot.

"what!"

"Forget it."

"Haven't I gotten enough of fishing? I've been out to sea all my life, either fishing myself or watching others fish. I'm already tired of it. Besides, it's hard work, so Old Man Zhao and I can just watch from the side."

Shi Guangming hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head.

Zhao Dahai smiled and said nothing. Shi Guangming didn't want to fish now, but when he saw his people pulling in groupers from the sea one after another, he would definitely want to fish again.

Zhao Dahai looked at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou and saw that they had all finished their meal and took a short rest. Now they were standing at their fishing spots. He shouted and prepared to start fishing.

When Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayi heard Zhao Dahai speak, they fished out a big octopus from the living cabin and hung it on the hook.

Zhao Dahai was looking at the speedboat while carefully looking at his fish finder. He had scanned the seabed many times during the day, and the structure of the seabed here was very clear. The coordinates of some key structures had already been marked. It was very convenient now. In less than ten minutes, he found one of the several fishing spots he had decided on during the day.

"Yo!"

“This place is really nice!”

"There is indeed a small trench under the speedboat!"

……

"The concave area should be at least one or two meters, right?"

……

"The speed of the seawater in such places is faster than in other places, and the seawater is deeper, so small fish gather here. With small fish, big fish will appear!"

……

"This place is really great. I didn't catch any fish tonight. It's 100% certain that there are no fish. It's just that the fish didn't bite. I'll come back another day at a different time and I'll definitely be able to catch some fish."

……

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming stood on Zhao Dahai's left and right, staring at the fish finder screen with wide eyes. Both of them were very experienced and could see at once that the place where Zhao Dahai was stopping was indeed very suitable for fishing, and there was a high possibility that there were really a lot of fish.

"Zhao Dahai."

"The biggest problem with this trench is that it doesn't look particularly wide. With such deep water, is it really possible to fish accurately in this trench?"

Shi Guangming pointed at the fish finder's screen.

What Zhao Dahai said was right. There were indeed some small trenches in this place, and they were not particularly long. However, the biggest problem was that this trench did not look more than two meters wide.

The hook for fishing grouper is only the size of a palm, which is much smaller than the sea trench. It can definitely be put in, but it is really not easy.

Standing at a height of five meters or ten meters, it is not difficult to place the hook in a trench that is just over one or two meters wide.

But what if it is twenty meters high?
This is not an easy task, especially since the sea water here is more than one hundred meters deep.

In addition, the sea water in the sea is not static, but is constantly flowing.

It is not as easy as imagined to accurately place the hook or fishing gear into a trench one or two meters wide on the seabed.

Zhao Dahai admired Shi Guangming very much. He had rich experience and could see the biggest problem right away. His second grandfather Zhao Shi had been fishing at sea all his life, but he was no match for Shi Guangming in this respect.

"That's right!"

"The biggest difficulty in catching big fish here tonight is this." "But it's not particularly difficult for us to do this tonight, at least it won't be more difficult than during the day."

Zhao Dahai stared at the sea with his eyes wide open.

"The water is indeed flowing tonight, but the speed is not very fast."

"One reason for not fishing during the day is that we need to think clearly about the seabed structure at the spot here to prepare for fishing at night. Another reason is that the seawater flows very fast during the day, and it is not easy to fish accurately at the spot we want to fish."

"Why was the speedboat able to catch fish during the day, but the fish it caught were not that many?"

"If you look closely, you'll find that the people on the speedboat caught the fish, but they didn't get stuck!"

"Why is it like this?"

"It's determined by the seabed structure here. There are trenches and so on. As long as you have a ceiling, you can almost guarantee that fish will bite the hook."

"But it is precisely because the speed of the sea water is so fast that it is very difficult to accurately fish in the sea. Many times, the fishing line or the hook placed on the seabed will float uncontrollably due to the flow of the sea water, and it is very easy to get caught on rocks."

Zhao Dahai didn't just work hard during the morning, but would occasionally look at the speedboat that was fishing. In the eyes of ordinary people, that speedboat was no different from other speedboats. One could catch fish, while the other kept hanging on the bottom. This was a common problem for almost all people who went offshore fishing, including deep-sea fishing.

It couldn't be more normal, and it couldn't be more ordinary.

Zhao Dahai saw it clearly and figured out a lot of things.

"Ugh!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"I really can't help but be convinced."

Shi Guangming sighed.

Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish and made a lot of money. People who don’t know him well always think that Zhao Dahai is luckier than others.

Or you might think that Zhao Dahai must have a certain skill in fishing, even better than the average person, but what really determines Zhao Dahai's ability to catch a lot of fish and make a lot of money is definitely luck.

However, when those of us followed Zhao Dahai to go fishing, everyone knew that Zhao Dahai was able to catch so many fish and make so much money, and it could be said that he had no luck at all. But it was definitely not luck that played a role.

As for what Yue Hai just said about the speed of the sea water flowing too fast, no one, including Zhao Shi, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da on the speedboat, noticed it, and no one knew how much impact this would have on fishing.

Zhao Dahai saw it all and kept trying to figure out what was going on.

How many people who go fishing at sea can be as careful as Zhao Dahai?

These things are actually not complicated to put it bluntly, but we just don't notice them.

"One hundred and fifty-seven meters of water depth!"

……

"Let the line go to one hundred fifty-two and three meters!"

……

"The water flow on the seabed tonight is not too fast, but we have to fish very accurately in the trench."

"Use four or five pounds of lead!"

……

"You can use a gun carriage pole! You have to use handheld poles for everything!"

……

"Put them all in the sea close to the side of the speedboat, no more than half a meter beyond it."

……

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"You probably won't be able to fish in the trench from that direction."

……

"Uncle Dayou and Uncle Liu, you two should be careful."

"As long as you put it in the sea at this location, as long as the line is not cost-effective, if it is cheap, you two will be able to fish in the trench 100%."

……

Zhao Dahai reminded Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to be careful.

My speedboat is bigger and wider.

The fishing spot of Liu Bin and Lei Dayou on this side is just above the trench.

The fishing spot of Zhongshizhu is on the other side of the speedboat, which is across the trench.

When the bell stone pillar is letting out the line and hitting the bottom, it can easily get hung on the seabed.

There is no other way around it. It is impossible for everyone to crowd on one side of the speedboat to fish.

Although my speedboat is very large and very stable, it will still tilt if all the people are crowded on one side.

Once you catch a fish and it is a big fish, the boat will tilt even more severely. This is not a big sea fishing boat and accidents can easily happen.

Now, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and I are on the other side of the speedboat. Only Zhong Shizhu is fishing. Although my second grandfather Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming are not standing on Zhong Shizhu's side, if a fish is really caught on that side and the speedboat tilts, they will definitely have to stand on Zhong Shizhu's side so that the speedboat can be balanced.

"what!"

"Zhongshizhu!"

"You can just watch us fishing in a while!"

When Liu Bin heard what Zhao Dahai said, he laughed loudly and triumphantly.

"Humph!"

"You better concentrate on fishing. If you don't catch any fish soon, you'll have to give up your fishing spot to me!"

Zhong Shizhu glared at Liu Bin.

It was hard to say whether we could catch fish in the trenches on the seabed that we couldn't reach. At least the chances were no greater than those of Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.

What I just said was not a joke. If Liu Bin fails to catch any fish after trying twice, I will definitely have to take up the fishing spot.

Liu Bin stopped talking immediately, not even caring about the cigarette in his mouth. He concentrated on casting out the line. If he didn't catch anything, it wouldn't be a big loss, but Xiu would be embarrassed. After a while, Zhong Shizhu called for him to give up his position, so there was really no reason to refuse.
