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

Chapter 918 Just try and you’ll catch another fish!

"never mind!"

"We caught so many fish here. We made so much money, it's enough!"

Zhong Shizhu thought about it and felt that what Zhao Dahai said was right. The fishing spot in a place like this could not be very large, and it was really great to be able to catch so many fish.

"what!"

“You can’t fish at the same spot for your whole life, right?”

"But then again, if there aren't that many fish now, if no one keeps fishing here for a while, there's no telling if a large number of croakers will gather here again one day."

Lei Dayou thought about this and glanced at Zhao Dahai as he spoke.

Zhao Dahai nodded.

There is a reason why fish, especially schools of fish, appear anywhere in the ocean.

One reason is that the seabed structure or geographical environment is very suitable for the growth of a certain type of fish. Another reason is that there is a high possibility that the sea water currents here bring abundant food, or there may be other reasons. But no matter what, as long as fish appear in a place, especially large schools of fish appear.

Even if there is a period of time when not many fish can be caught, as long as there is enough time to recuperate, a large number of fish will gather again.

"Isn't this exactly the same as the place in Ootoda? There used to be a lot of croakers there, but there were so many people fishing and catching them that it caused great damage."

"As a result, there were no fish left, but for several years there weren't many fishing boats going there to fish."

"I recovered all of a sudden."

Liu Bin recalled what happened in the big croaker field when he went deep-sea fishing with Zhao Dahai last time.

"Correct!"

"That's it!"

“No matter where you fish, unless you are 100% sure that it is a place only you know, you should catch as much as you can!”

Zhao Dahai did not hesitate.

If only you know a fishing spot or a location, you must protect it well. It is impossible to catch all the fish in this place. If there are relatively few fish left, the fish school is likely to disperse. However, if the fish are still there, one is that they can reproduce naturally, and the other is that they can attract other fish to come here and gather into a larger school of fish.

If a lot of people know a spot, then you must fish as many as possible.

Zhao Dahai never considered himself a noble person.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were resting while fishing for nearly two hours, but they only caught six croakers. Although the sizes were pretty good, the number was too few.

Zhao Dahai decided not to fish here anymore. The effort and energy he put in were not worth it.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat away from the croaker fishing spot, found a grouper fishing spot on the fish finder navigation and drove over. He originally planned to take a break before continuing fishing, but Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all opposed it.

Zhao Dahai thought about it and felt that what Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou said was right. They came here just to catch more fish and make more money. Now it was night and the fish were more likely to bite. More importantly, there were at least some speedboats in the entire sea area of ​​the artificial islands and reefs, but there were definitely not many.

Waiting for daybreak, if there are more speedboats coming here and they are near the spots I just know, I can't fish, and I've wasted my time.

Zhao Dahai drove a speedboat to a spot on the artificial island reef where he had fished before the Chinese New Year, a spot only he knew.

Zhao Dahai carefully looked at the surrounding sea, and even picked up a telescope and looked twice. He was relieved only after he was sure that there were no other speedboats or fishing boats nearby.

On the sea at night, whether it is your own speedboat or other speedboats and fishing boats, the lights must be turned on.

If there are other speedboats or other fishing boats nearby, it is easy for them to see you. Once they come over, your fishing spot will be exposed, so you must be extremely careful.

Zhao Dahai looked at the fish finder navigation and slowly adjusted the position of the speedboat.

When Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou saw Zhao Dahai's look, they knew it wouldn't be long before they had to start fishing for grouper.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da started to prepare immediately without Zhao Dahai saying anything. They set up the poles on the gun carriage, plugged in the electric winch, and tied up lead sinkers and other things.

"How's the grouper here tonight?"

……

"Hey hey hey!"

"Haven't we already caught four or five thousand kilograms of croaker?"

"What does it matter if we don't catch many groupers here?"

"At worst, we can just change to another spot, or even if we don't fish anymore, we've made a lot of money on this trip!"

"We can't eat dumplings every day, right?"

……

"Is five thousand kilograms of croaker still too little?"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou each lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. They knew that once they started fishing, they would not have time to smoke for the next few hours or even until dawn.

Zhao Dahai adjusted the position of the speedboat and shouted to Zhong Shizhu to lower the top-flow engine on the bow of the speedboat. After waiting for a while, he saw that the speedboat did not move. The flow of water on the sea surface was not too fast, so there was no need to adjust the position of the speedboat from time to time. This was more relaxed.

"One hundred and seventy meters deep."

"The place where we are parked now has reefs on the seabed!"

"This place could be very difficult!"

"Be careful when you knock on the bottom, but there's nothing you can do about it! If you're dead, you're dead!"

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

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had already made preparations and started fishing immediately. They hung crabs on the hooks, released them into the sea, and started to let out the lines. Each of them kept letting out the line until they reached 165 meters.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had gone fishing so many times that they were very experienced. They did not strike the bottom immediately, but stopped and pulled up and down a few times to make sure that at this depth of the sea water they would not get stuck. They waited for five or six minutes, and when no fish took the bait they let out the line and struck the bottom to fish.

"Yo!"

"Is this the bottom one?"

……

"What the hell!"

"Could it be that today's attack was not good? Didn't catch any fish and ended up getting stuck?"

……

"It looks like there are really a lot of rocks on the seabed here!"

……

Zhao Dahai laughed.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou have indeed accumulated a lot of experience in fishing, but they still cannot avoid getting stuck on the bottom.

Zhao Dahai had a rod and a reel mounted on the gun mount in front of him, but when he saw Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da getting stuck as soon as they hit the bottom, he immediately gave up using the gun mount rod to fish.

Zhao Dahai knew that his fishing skills were definitely better than those of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, and much better, but this kind of direct bottom-casting fishing, especially when there are a lot of complicated rocks on the seabed, whether the line is caught or not has little to do with skills, but has a lot to do with luck. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all caught the bottom when they cast the line at three different fishing spots on the speedboat. If he did the same, the chance of getting caught would be very high.

Zhao Dahai took the handheld spinning reel pole, hung the big octopus on it, put it into the sea, opened the spool and let out the line.

Did Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da cut the line immediately? The three of them were hanging on the bottom at the same time. Once the line was cut, it was very likely to scare the grouper on the seabed. They should wait and see how Zhao Da was fishing before deciding whether to cut the line.

"I think we can turn off the top flow machine now!"

Zhong Shizhu pointed at the rod in front of him, and then pointed at the rods in front of Lei Dayou and Liu Bin. No kidding, the line used for bottom fishing on the stone slabs is very thick and has a very strong pulling force.

There are tides and currents on the sea, especially if the tides and currents are strong, it is definitely impossible to hold the boat. But if it is like now, there are not many tides and currents on the sea, it is really possible to hold it. What's more, there are three poles and three lines hanging on the bottom, which are enough to hold the speedboat.

"Who said it wasn't?"

"correct!"

"When was the last time the three of us were together?"

Liu Bin tried hard to recall, but still couldn't remember. When he and his group went fishing with Zhao Dahai, it wasn't that they had never gotten stuck on the bottom. In fact, they got stuck on the bottom quite often, but the times when three of them got stuck on the bottom together were very rare.

"Zhao Dahai's line is almost reaching the bottom of the sea!"

Lei Dayou had been watching Zhao Dahai fishing and noticed that Zhao Dahai had dropped the line cup. He knew that the line had almost reached the bottom of the sea and he might start fishing soon.

Liu Bin and Zhong Shizhu immediately stared at Zhao Dahai with their eyes wide open.

"what?"

“Isn’t this a knock on the bottom?”

Zhong Shizhu watched for a while and found that Zhao Dahai did not let out the line and hit the bottom directly like himself, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou did. Instead, he lifted the rod up and down. At first, the amplitude was relatively small, and then gradually increased.

"How can this be the bottom? To hit the bottom is to release the line all at once. How can Zhao Dahai hit the bottom now?"

Liu Bin didn't know what Zhao Dahai was doing, but he was 100% sure that he was not trying to get a low price.

"What's the point of doing this?"

Lei Dayou didn't care whether Zhao Dahai was hitting the bottom or not. The key point was what was the use of looking at it this way, what were the benefits, and whether he could catch fish.

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin shook their heads.

I really don’t know if there is any use in what Zhao Dahai is doing.

We'll have to wait and see whether we can catch any fish.

Zhao Dahai ignored Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou who were staring at him and concentrated on the pole in their hands.

The fish finder showed that the water depth here reached 170 meters.

Zhao Dahai let out the line to 165 meters and stopped, instead of opening the spool and hitting the bottom. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bing and Lei Dayou have proven that this method doesn't work. It doesn't mean that the fish will definitely get stuck, but the chance of it getting stuck is definitely very high.

Zhao Dahai pulled the rod up and down several times, constantly increasing the up and down distance. At the beginning, it was only twenty centimeters, but later on, the amplitude was very large, reaching one meter up and down.

Make sure it is not stuck on the bottom, the lead weight is not hitting any reef, and the hook is not caught on a rock.

Zhao Dahai looked at the sea surface carefully. The speed of the water flow was relatively slow, or even non-existent. He looked at the line on his fishing rod again and found that it was very vertical.

Zhao Dahai immediately knew that the method he had figured out should not be too difficult and would most likely be able to achieve his goal.

Zhao Dahai held the fishing rod tightly with his right hand, opened the spool with his left hand and began to let the line down. However, his left hand never left the spool. He used his fingers to control the line and slowly let it down ten centimeters at a time.

Zhao Dahai lowered the rod down while gently pulling it up and down.

"coming!"

……

"what!"

"A fish is biting!"

……

"what!"

"awesome!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had been staring at Zhao Dahai. There was no movement at first, but after five or six minutes they saw Zhao Dahai suddenly raise his hand and lift the fishing rod, which was a standard action for stabbing fish. They couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"what?"

"What's going on?"

……

"Are there any fish on the hook or are there any fish on the hook?"

……

"Could it be that the fish got hooked and then ran away?"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were a little dumbfounded. They thought a fish had been hooked when they saw Zhao Dahai's action, but they immediately found out that it was not the case at all.

"what!"

"Uncle Shizhu."

"Don't get excited! Don't get excited! There was no fish at all!"

Zhao Dahai heard Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were very excited, but then he was very confused. He didn't know what was going on and found it a little funny. There was no fish on the hook just now, but he just felt the lead weight hitting the stone and was worried that it would get stuck, so he lifted the rod suddenly.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were a little amused and helpless. Then they realized what was going on and shook their heads, thinking that they were all happy in vain.

"what?"

"Zhao Dahai."

"How is that possible? Why hasn't the hook stuck to the bottom when the lead weight has already hit the reef on the seabed?"

Zhong Shizhu slapped his forehead hard. At first glance, Zhao Dahai's words didn't sound strange, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that something was very wrong.

"Correct!"

"Why isn't it hanging up like this?"

……

"Is your hook different from others? Or is it because you are lucky and it just happens not to get stuck on the bottom?"

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean we should just knock on the bottom?"

……

When Lei Dayou and Liu Bin heard what Zhong Shizhu said, they realized that something was very wrong.

"what!"

"Who says that if the lead weight hits the rocks on the seabed, it will definitely get stuck?"

Zhao Dahai smiled and shook his head. Just when he was about to tell Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou why this happened, he suddenly felt the rod in his hand being pulled hard.

Zhao Dahai reacted very quickly. He suddenly raised his hand, raised the rod and stabbed the fish.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou didn't react at all when they saw Zhao Dahai's action.
