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

Chapter 913: The bite is so fierce that you have to wait for a while

"Big brother!"

"Song Tianping and Cao Hong had a plan in advance!"

“I really went to the Windmill Foot fishing spot to catch grouper!”

Xu Xiaochui watched Song Tianping and Cao Hong's speedboat heading towards the Windmill Foot fishing spot, but it disappeared almost in the blink of an eye, and he felt a little anxious.

"One hundred percent, I'm going to the Windmill Foot fishing spot."

"Let's go!"

"It's really useless to stay here any longer. There will definitely be no tide today, so no sea bass will come in. Let's go to the Windmill Foot fishing spot and try our luck to see if we can catch grouper."

Xu Dachui gritted his teeth and decided not to wait any longer. It was getting late, and it was still some distance to the Fengchejiao fishing spot. If he didn't go there, he would miss the best time to fish for grouper. Recently, he had been well prepared for fishing for grouper every time he went out to sea, with rods, reels, live shrimps, octopuses, etc.

"it is good!"

"Let's go there quickly! Don't let Song Tianping and Cao Hong catch grouper. If we two brothers can't catch any, it will be a huge shame."

Xu Xiaochui wasted no time and immediately drove the speedboat towards the Windmill Foot fishing spot.

Shortly after Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui left, a huge fishing boat slowly approached the island and reef foam area.

"what?"

"Zhao Dahai's speedboat is not here?"

Ding Dawen slowed down the speed of the fishing boat and scanned the island and reef area with his eyes wide open. He did not see any speedboat as huge and conspicuous as Zhao Dahai's.

"what?"

"No way? Didn't Zhao Dahai say he was going to this place to fish for sea bass? Why is there no one here?"

Shi Guangming was a little skeptical, so he took out a telescope and carefully looked at the sea surface around the island and reef foam area several times to make sure that Zhao Dahai's speedboat was not there.

"Humph!"

"Shi Guangming."

"Ding Dawen has not been out to sea much, so it's understandable that he can't see it without experience, but why can't you see it?"

Zhao Shi took a puff of the hookah in his hand and curled his lips.

"what?"

"What do you mean by that, old man Zhao?"

Shi Guangming was a little confused.

"Is there no tide at all in the island reef foam area today? If there is no tide, isn't it normal that Zhao Dahai's speedboat is not here? He must have gone fishing somewhere else."

"Don't even mention Zhao Dahai's speedboat. There aren't many speedboats left here."

Zhao Shi pointed to the entire sea surface of the island and reef foam area.

Shi Guangming turned his head and saw that he was busy looking for Zhao Dahai's speedboat and didn't pay attention. Now he realized that it was really like this. There were only a few speedboats left in the island and reef foam area where there was no flowing water or foam.

Although his and Zhao Shiding Dawen's fishing boats left the dock earlier, Zhao Dahai's speedboat was faster and had already come here. Seeing that there was no tide or water here, and the speedboats around had almost all run away, how could Zhao Dahai stay here? He must have gone to another place to fish.

"What to do now?"

Ding Dawen was a little anxious. His fishing boat came here to pick up the fish caught in the sea. Now Zhao Dahai had disappeared somewhere and the sea was so vast that it was impossible to find him.

Zhao Shi told Ding Dawen that the fishing boat was parked here, and they would definitely not be able to find Zhao Dahai, so they could just wait here for Zhao Dahai to catch some fish and come back to find them.

Ding Dawen thought about it and understood what Zhao Shi meant.

Once Zhao Dahai catches a large number of fish and is about to transfer them to the fishing boat, he will definitely come back here to find me. If Zhao Dahai does not catch any fish nearby and goes directly to the artificial island reef, he will not come back until early tomorrow morning or at noon. In any case, I don't need to go somewhere else and can just wait here.

"Second Grandpa."

"Let's just find a place to stop here and wait for Zhao Dahai's speedboat."

As Ding Dawen spoke, he drove the fishing boat in a circle, looked for fish, and found a place with deeper water to stop.

"Dindawen."

"Old man Zhao Shi said that you are very talented in driving a fishing boat. This is really true."

"It looks like in a few days, Old Man Zhao and I won't have to get on the fishing boat anymore!"

Shi Guangming glanced at Ding Dawen. At a little after four in the morning, they arrived at the dock of Langtou Village and boarded the big fishing boat. Zhao Shi immediately pulled himself and pointed at Ding Dawen and told him about how Ding Dawen drove the fishing boat to the dock to refuel yesterday and then drove the fishing boat away from the dock and returned to Langtou Village.

Shi Guangming didn't believe it. Ding Dawen could indeed drive a fishing boat, but they were all small fishing boats or speedboats, and he had no experience driving such a large fishing boat. If Ding Dawen really could drive such a large fishing boat, Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang would definitely not ask him and Zhao Shi to teach Ding Dawen how to drive a fishing boat, so he couldn't be so good.

But it was Ding Dawen who had been driving the fishing boat all the way here. He had been driving deep-sea fishing boats for decades. He knew at a glance that what Zhao Shi said was right, Ding Dawen definitely had a talent for driving large fishing boats, which was why he was able to master it in such a short time.

"what?"

"is it really like this?"

"How is this possible?"

Ding Dawen shook his head. Zhao Shi had mentioned this matter yesterday, and Shi Guangming mentioned it again today, but he still didn't quite dare to believe that he really had such ability.

"Humph!"

"Isn't it very easy for you to drive a fishing boat now? You can go fast or slow as you like. When other fishing boats pass by, you don't panic at all."

"You just started driving such a big fishing boat yesterday. If you don't have any talent, how could you be like this?"

"Forget it!"

"You can believe it or not. Anyway, you can drive this fishing boat here by yourself in three to five days. There will be no need for Zhao Shi and I to watch over this fishing ground!"

"But then again, Old Man Zhao and I really don't have much to do. It's a bit uncomfortable to stay at home. We might as well go out to sea with the fishing boat to kill some time."

Shi Guangming really felt that there was no need for him and Zhao Shi to follow the fishing boat on their next trip out to sea. He turned around and thought that if he and Zhao Shi really left the fishing boat so soon, Ding Lihua would definitely be very worried when he knew about it. He was still thinking about whether Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei's matter could be settled as soon as possible. Ding Dawen was Ding Ailian's elder brother, and because of this relationship, he had to stay on this fishing boat for a while.

Zhao Shi glanced at Shi Guangming and felt a little funny. At first, he thought that he didn't need to go out with him on the next voyage. He immediately changed his mind and said that he was bored at home and going out to sea with the fishing boat could kill time. But this was definitely not that simple. He was 100% reminded of the relationship between Ding Ailian and Ding Dawen.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Shi."

"I'm sorry to bother you two. It's still early and there's nothing else to do. How about you two go to the cabin and take a nap?"

Ding Dawen parked the fishing boat. Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi got up early this morning and were already on the fishing boat a little after four in the morning. Zhao Dahai was not fishing in the island and reef foam area now. He didn't know where he went. Even if he really came here, it would be after noon, or even in the afternoon.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming had nothing to do, they didn't even need to look after the fishing boat, so it would be better for them to go back to the cabin and take a nap.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming both nodded. They did get up early today. They left the cab and went to the cabin to sleep.

Ding Dawen yawned, took his own cup of water, drank several sips of strong tea, and perked up.

I wonder where Zhao Dahai is fishing now?

Have you caught any fish?

Ding Dawen stared at the sea surface with wide eyes, very curious about where Zhao Dahai was fishing and whether he had caught any fish.

The sea was vast. There was no end in sight. Zhao Dahai slowed down the speedboat he was driving, took a look at the fish finder navigation, adjusted his position, and shouted loudly to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou to lower the two top-flow engines on the bow of the speedboat. The speedboat suddenly stopped on the sea, almost motionless.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Are we fishing here? What kind of fish are we fishing for?"

The bell stone pillar is a bit strange.

There is not a single speedboat around this place now.

Zhao Dahai did not go directly to the artificial islands and reefs, which clearly showed that he wanted to catch small fish. However, if it was a fishing spot for small fish, there should be some other speedboat fleets around.

"The bell stone pillar."

"You didn't drink too much last night and you're still not sober at this time, right?"

"Who says that you have to go fishing at a spot that everyone knows about? Could it be that Zhao Dahai doesn't have a spot that only he knows about?"

Lei Dayou couldn't stand the confused look on Zhong Shizhu's face.

"what?"

"How could I have forgotten this!"

Zhong Shizhu patted his thigh and immediately turned to look at Zhao Dahai.

"When I first started fishing in my speedboat, I would often drive around in it whenever I wanted."

"The fish finder and navigation are all turned on, scanning the seabed terrain."

“A lot of gasoline was burned.”

"But my luck is really very good."

"We found a few fishing spots. Although they are not particularly large, there are indeed a lot of fish."

"A few were able to catch valuable fish, such as long-tailed birds, but most were only able to catch black porgy and yellow pheasant."

Zhao Dahai looked at the fish finder screen as he spoke. He hadn't been here for a while, and the screen was filled with signals of schools of fish.

"This is a fishing spot for black porgy. From the looks of it, the school of fish underneath should be quite large!"

"It's still early, so let's hurry up and catch more fish while there's unlikely to be other speedboats around."

"The water here is 125 meters deep. We'll fish between 120 and 123 meters."

"Antarctic shrimps in bait cages, shelled shrimp meat."

"A string of five hooks."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he took out the rod, placed it on the gun mount, directly turned on the electric reel, tied the bait cage and the string hooks and started fishing immediately.

Zhao Dahai turned on the electric winch switch, and the hook sank to the bottom of the sea at once under the pull of the lead weight, and the line was directly released to 120 meters.

Zhao Dahai dropped the line cup. Just when he was about to reach out and lift the rod to tease the fish, the tip of the rod shook violently.

"Yo!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"Are the fish in the sea going crazy from starvation?"

Liu Bin's movements were not as quick as Zhao Dahai's. He had just stuffed the Antarctic shrimps, hung the shrimp meat and put them into the sea. When he turned around, he saw Zhao Dahai's rod shaking rapidly, one after another. Needless to say, there must be a fish on the hook, and not just one fish.

Zhao Dahai's string of hooks had just been put into the water layer of 120 meters when a fish immediately took the bait. The fish on the seabed not only opened their mouths, but also moved very crazily.

"what!"

"That's right!"

"We can catch a lot of fish here today!"

Zhao Dahai pushed the reel's reel-in switch hard, and it started to turn all of a sudden. The tip of the fishing rod bent a little more severely.

"The four fish won't get away, and they are all big black porgy weighing seven or eight kilograms."

Zhao Dahai thought about it and slowed down the speed of the electric winch. In the past, when he went out to sea to fish, he didn't care about this at all. This is a black porgy, which is not afraid of flatulence. Even if it is caught from a depth of 100 meters, it is unlikely to die from flatulence like the grouper. Another reason is that he mainly fishes for valuable fish such as big grouper when he goes out to sea. If he can keep the black porgy alive, he will keep it alive. If he can't keep it alive, he will just put it in the refrigerator. It's different now. Now I have bought a large fishing boat that can keep 20 tons of fish. There is plenty of space. The black porgy that is kept alive is definitely more valuable than the dead black porgy. Even if the black porgy doesn't get flatulence very often, it's always better to go a little slower.

"Yo!"

"This black sea bream is really good in size!"

Zhao Dahai looked at the string of hooks pulled out of the water. Each hook had a big black porgy weighing seven or eight kilograms.

I found this fishing spot and fished twice, and most of the fish I caught were black porgy weighing five or six kilograms. What I didn't expect was that this time, all the black porgy I caught here were seven or eight kilograms.

It seems that the fish have grown bigger in the past six months.

This couldn't be a better thing for me.

Zhao Dahai took a scoop net, scooped up the fish and threw it into the live water tank.

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"Uncle Liu is a great uncle!"

"Don't worry! Let's fish slowly!"

“The fishing villages here are really big right now and the bite is really fierce.”

"If a fish takes the bait, wait a little while. We have to catch at least four or five fish before we reel it in. That way it will be worthwhile."

Zhao Dahai glanced at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou and saw that they were all a little anxious. Zhong Shizhu's hand was even on the line-reeling switch, but from the bending arc and shaking of the rod, only two fish were hooked. Knowing that they were a little anxious, Zhao Dahai immediately reminded them loudly.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all took a deep breath and calmed down. The sea water here was now more than 120 meters deep. Even with an electric winch, it would take some time to bring it up.

For big fish like giant grouper, there is no way but to reel in the line once a fish takes the bait. However, nowadays we use string hooks to catch black sea bream. The key is that the fish on the seabed are biting very fiercely, so we must wait a little while for more fish to bite the hook before reeling in the line.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou didn't have to wait too long. In just two minutes, the rod hit the ground hard five times.

"what!"

"Here they come! These must be five fish!"

……

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

"A big black sea bream weighing seven or eight kilograms!"

……

"Each trip up and down can bring in thirty or forty kilograms of fish!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were very excited as they watched the rotating electric reel and the bent rod. If they really fished like this, four people could catch 100 to 180 kilograms of fish in one trip. If they were luckier, they could even catch 150 kilograms of fish in one trip. It only took two hours to fish and they could catch at least 3,000 kilograms of fish.
