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

Chapter 838: Strike two poles first

Zhao Dahai woke up, got out of the cabin of the speedboat, and looked around. It was pitch dark, with only one of his speedboats with lights on.

"Yo!"

"Grandpa Shi!"

"What do you do? How did you catch so many Balang fish?"

Zhao Dahai saw Shi Guangming holding a net in his hand. After a while, he reached out to the sea next to the speedboat and picked up five or six or a dozen lively Balang fish. There was a basket on the side. Ten or eight pounds have been loaded, all of which were attracted by the light of the speedboat.

"You will definitely have to stay up all night tonight, and you will definitely have to make something delicious."

"This Balang fish is not too big, but not small. I took a look and found it was very fat."

"I'll fry it later, it will be delicious!"

"Yo!"

Zhao Dahai closed his mouth, and then made a gesture to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.

Shi Guangming laughed. At the end of last year, he and Zhao Shi caught a lot of big fathead fish in crab pots.

"Row!"

"Didn't the late-night snack become very rich all of a sudden?"

"The fried balang fish plus these orchid crabs make a pot of porridge."

"We don't have anything else to do. We'll just come back to the fishing boat then!"

Zhao Shi was not in a hurry. If you put crab pots now, you will definitely be able to catch fathead fish. That place is the nest of fathead fish.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were prepared in advance. The rods with wheels were placed on the gun mounts, and the lead pendants and fishing groups were tied up.

Zhao Dahai took his own thermos cup, drank several large sips of strong tea, cheered up, and looked at the time. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening. Now it was time to fish.

"I'll leave the midnight snack to you tonight. It's almost time now. I have to go fishing right away!"

Shi Guangming carried the speedboat on the net and flipped it over with his backhand. Several large blue crabs suddenly fell out of the deck, crawling around and flexing their claws.

"The depth of the sea water here today is about 160 meters."

Shi Guangming waited for those orchid crabs. When they swam only half a meter away from the speedboat, he stretched out the net and picked them up. He moved very fast and caught them in almost the blink of an eye.

"This year's Chinese New Year will definitely be the same as last year. We will find a fishing boat to fish on the artificial islands."

Zhao Dahai waved at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.

Zhao Dahai drove for almost half an hour until he reached the fishing point. There were lights on the surrounding sea. He could be 100% sure that the artificial islands and reefs were at least in the sea where his speedboat was. , there were no other speedboats left to spend the night fishing.

Zhao Dahai had already prepared food and drinks for his trip to the sea, but for people like him who went to sea, the freshly caught small fish and orchid crabs were the most delicious.

Zhao Dahai looked at the surrounding sea carefully and was very happy that there was no light.

"We caught a lot at the end of last year. We have to give some time for these fathead fish to grow up or swim in from other places!"

"What's the rush?"

“Remember those fathead fish we caught in crab pots?”

"Everyone, stop talking! Everyone, stop talking!"

The speedboat Zhao Dahai just bought is relatively large and can be used to spend the night in a place like this.

Shi Guangming's voice suddenly dropped as he spoke.

"Hey!"

"what!"

Zhao Dahai followed Shi Guangming's line of sight and saw several large orchid crabs suddenly appearing out of nowhere on the sea.

“It’s so easy and fun to make this money!”

Shi Guangming was very proud.

The artificial islands and reefs are relatively far away, and ordinary speedboats rarely come here. Nowadays, there are more speedboats that can’t catch fish in other places, but they usually get up at three or four in the morning to go out to sea and rush to the artificial islands and reefs to fish. They will leave when it’s almost dark. It’s not that these people don’t know that fishing at night can catch more fish. However, the speedboat is relatively small, and there are no islands around artificial islands like this at night. , it is more dangerous to stay overnight.

"But it's not the season right now, otherwise we might not be sure we can actually put out crab pots."

"Want to run away? No way!"

"Old man Shi."

Zhao Dashi watched Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou busy fishing together, and remembered the big blackheads he and Shi Guangming had caught before the New Year when they put crab pots on the fishing boat. I did nothing every day but put some crab pots, but the fathead fish I caught were not only big but also numerous.

Zhao Dahai stared at the coordinates on the fish finder navigation and slowly adjusted the position of the speedboat. After stopping, he carefully looked at the displayed signal. Especially, the topography of the seabed was exactly the same as in his memory, 100%. This is the spot where I fished years ago.

"Zhao Dahai."

"what!"

"The bottom will start to hit around 152 to 155 meters."

Zhao Dahai opened the fish search navigation and found some fishing spots he had fished on artificial islands before the Chinese New Year. He chose the nearest spot and drove directly there on a speedboat.

"correct!"

"Grandpa Shi."

But no matter what, it is not the season. One is that the fathead fish is relatively small, and the other is that the fathead fish is relatively thin. Waiting until the end of the year, when Zhao Dahai once again finds a fishing boat to fish on artificial islands, he and Shi Guangming can do this again.

You can make a lot of money by just placing and pulling a few crab cages without being exposed to the wind and sun. Why not do it?

"Second Grandpa!"

"Grandpa Shi!"

"Why are you thinking about the fathead fish here? Have you forgotten that we put crab pots here and caught a lot of winter crabs?"

Zhao Dahai reminded.

"Yo!"

"How can we forget this kind of thing? Last year, we caught a lot of winter crabs in this place. I wonder if we will be so lucky again this year!"

Shi Guangming slapped his thigh and took a strong puff from the hookah in his hand.

The fathead fish is indeed good, but the real value is the winter crab. Last year, I and others had a big fight on the artificial islands and caught a lot of winter crabs. However, in the end, these winter crabs were not sold. Zhao Dahai made the decision. Each family got a lot. This year I wait until the end of the year to fish here. If I can catch winter crabs in crab pots, that will be great.

"I really can't tell if it will happen now. I really have to wait until the end of this year to put a few crab pots here and give it a try."

"If there are, let's release more and catch more so that we can have a good meal during the Chinese New Year."

"If not, forget it, you can pull it off!"

Zhao Dahai really wants to catch winter crabs. They are really good things. They are more delicious than red spots in his eyes. The big orchid crabs that Shi Guangming just caught are almost one pound or even one and a half pounds. They are very valuable and very valuable. It's delicious, but the winter crabs at the end of the year are very fat, especially the tall winter crabs, which are no worse than the big orchid crabs and are even rarer.

"When the Chinese New Year is about to come, we must come here to put crab pots to catch winter crabs!"

……

"Too fat! So delicious!"

……

“It’s very honorable when you send someone off to visit relatives!”

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da suddenly became interested when they heard Zhao Dahai and Shi Guangming talking about catching winter crabs here at the end of last year.

Zhao Dahai nodded vigorously. Not only people like Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin wanted to put crab pots here to catch winter crabs, but he also wanted to catch winter crabs here. It was so delicious that his mouth watered just thinking about it.

Zhao Dahai held the pole in his right hand and stood beside the speedboat. The thread of the spinning wheel was opened, and the lead weight pulled the thread and rushed down to the seabed. It didn't take long for the upper thread to be placed at 130 meters.

Zhao Dahai turned off the line cup and did not continue to lower the line. The depth of the sea water here reached 160 meters. To hit the bottom, it would have to be more than 150 meters.

Zhao Dahai didn't rush to hit the bottom, and slowly lowered the pole five to six meters, stopping every time he lowered it for about three to five minutes, and kept lifting the pole up and down.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, and even Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming all knew that Zhao Dahai was not knocking the bottom, but trying to see which water layer the fish was in.

"Are there any other fish in the sea now?"

Shi Guangming turned to look at the screen of the fish stall in the cockpit. He couldn't see it clearly, but he seemed to be able to see some signal lights.

Could these be from fish?

Shi Guangming was very curious.

Zhao Dahai nodded, but immediately shook his head.

Most of the signals displayed on the fish detector are fish, but sometimes they may not be fish, or they may look larger, but they may not be big fish.

"Grandpa Shi!"

"Who cares whether it is a fish? As long as there is a signal, we must try to see if we can catch it. If we can catch it, it is a fish. If we cannot catch it, it is not a fish. , No matter what, you must give it a try and you can’t let it go.”

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he gently lifted and shook the fishing rod in his hand.

Fishing definitely requires skills. People with good skills can catch more fish than others. Even when others cannot catch fish, they still have a chance to catch fish.

People with relatively good fishing skills often have only one idea in their minds to only catch fish that they are sure of, or fish that have a greater chance of catching.

But in fact, many times, if there are dates but no dates, you have to hit two poles first. If there are fish, it is a good thing. If there are no fish, there won’t be much loss, right? This is what I do now. If there are fish, I can make more Fishing can make more money, but not having fish means wasting a little time.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"This spot is really good. Once you hit the bottom, the fish will bite!"

Zhong Shizhu didn't speak much. He stared at the end of the pole mounted on the gun mount with wide eyes. He remembered clearly that at the end of last year, he and Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish at this point. .

It’s been a while since I’ve been here, and the fish bite is very good now that we’re fishing at night, so it’s very possible to catch fish on the first tap of the bottom.

Zhong Shizhu's guess was not wrong at all. It was just that the lead pendant hit the bottom and just pushed the electric winch. The line was taken up less than two meters before there was time to stop and a fish bit the hook.

Zhong Shizhu had been concentrating and reacted very quickly. He suddenly pulled back the switch of the electric winch to take up the line. The fishing rod bent down and the electric winch made a sharp sound when it rotated.

"Yo!"

"bingo!"

……

"what!"

"It's a good start tonight! I didn't expect the fish here to be so crazy!"

……

Lei Dayou and Liu Bin shook their fists vigorously.

Zhong Shizhu caught the fish, and the two of them immediately hit the bottom one after another. Within less than a minute, fish bit at the same time.

Shi Guangming looked at Zhong Shizhu, then at Lei Dayou, and finally at Liu Bin and the other three. The poles on the gun mount in front of him were all bent, and the electric winches were spinning. They were not too big, twenty. It looks like a pound.

"What the hell!"

"What's going on here? Why, Zhao Dahai, you come here to fish, and every time you encounter a fish that bites like crazy?!"

Shi Guangming was a little aggrieved.

The size of the fish that was hooked was really not too big. In places like artificial islands and reefs, fish weighing 20 to 30 pounds abound. Zhao Dahai caught more fish of this size in one month here a year ago. Go.

The key to the problem is not the size of the fish caught, but that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou just hit the bottom with the first rod and there were fish biting immediately. The three of them almost caught the fish at the same time.

Shi Guangming has been fishing with fishing boats for more than 30 years. He is indeed not an expert in fishing, but he has rich fishing experience. He can tell at a glance that there are not only many fish on the bottom of the sea at this point tonight, but also the bites are very fierce.

Until now, the tide has not risen yet, and the time is only around ten o'clock in the evening, far from four or five o'clock in the morning when the fish start to crazily open their mouths.

Shi Guangming really couldn't imagine how many fish Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Da could catch in one night once the tide started flowing and the fish on the seabed opened their mouths crazily.

"Grandpa Shi!"

"It has been more than a month since the Chinese New Year, and no one has fished in this place. I guess there are no other speedboats, and no one else knows there are fish here."

"It's normal to catch fish here tonight."

Zhao Dahai glanced at the poles of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bing and Lei Dayou and smiled. This is really a good sign. We will definitely catch a lot of fish here tonight. This is not something we can catch in the afternoon. Those small points are actually a big point. The speedboat cannot catch fish at this position. If you move ten or eight meters forward and back, you will find another point where you can catch fish.

Zhao Dahai thought that there would be a massacre here tonight.
