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

Chapter 943: Change your tricks!
"what?"

"What is Zhao Dahai doing?"

Xu Xiaochui looked at Zhao Dahai's speedboat, which was less than a hundred meters away from his and his elder brother's speedboat, and felt very strange. He didn't know what Zhao Dahai was trying to do. Four poles were placed on the gun mount, and then he lay motionless, letting the speedboat drift slowly forward with the tide.

"That's not how you catch grouper when you're bottom fishing. Even if you're fishing in a covered current, don't you still have to bottom fish from time to time?"

The more Xu Xiaochui looked at it, the more confused he became. He really couldn't understand what Zhao Dahai was doing.

"Who knows?"

"It's been ten minutes already, right? The speedboat has drifted forward about twenty meters."

Xu Dachui glanced at his pole from time to time, and looked up at Zhao Dahai's speedboat from time to time.

Xu Xiaochui couldn't understand it either, and he didn't know what was going on.

If Zhao Dahai and the other three people on his speedboat hadn't stood in front of their own fishing rods and concentrated, it would have felt like they were not fishing at all.
"Why is Zhao Dahai different from the other people fishing on the speedboats around him?"

Song Tianping drove the speedboat closer to the speedboat of the brothers Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui and pointed at Zhao Dahai.

"Who knows what's going on? I just can't understand it!"

Xu Dachui shook his head. He and his brother Xu Xiaochui were just thinking about this matter. They really had no idea what Zhao Dahai was up to.

"Forget it!"

"If you don't understand, why not just stop looking at it? Isn't that just asking for trouble? Let's just keep fishing and see if we can catch anything."

As Cao Hong spoke, he pushed the switch of the electric winch to reel in the line. He had just pulled the line about one meter away from the seabed and waited for five or six minutes. No fish took the hook, so he reeled it in to see if the live shrimp on it were dead.

"Dry!"

"Did someone catch a fish on Zhao Dahai's speedboat?"

Song Tianping suddenly shouted and pointed at Zhao Dahai's speedboat excitedly.

Cao Hong was startled and immediately looked forward. Zhao Dahai's speedboat was less than a hundred meters away. He could see clearly that there was a man on the bow of the speedboat. The pole in front of him was bent sharply. Not only was there a fish taking the bait, but it also looked like the fish was quite big, perhaps weighing seventy or eighty kilograms.

"Here we go again! Another guy has a bite!"

……

"what?"

"Another one?"

……

"Dry!"

“Three people caught fish!”

……

Xu Xiaochui rubbed his eyes hard, unable to believe that in such a short period of less than a minute, three people's fishing rods on Zhao Dahai's speedboat had fish taking the bait, but the only one left was the fishing rod in front of Zhao Dahai, with no movement at all.

"What's going on here? Is it true that there's no need to knock on the bottom, and fish will bite if you just set up the rod and let it float?"

Song Tianping was very surprised. He and even Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui had been staring at Zhao Dahai's speedboat. They knew very well that Zhao Dahai had not done anything just now and was just holding the pole.

If we can catch fish this way, then why should we just go through the trouble of imitating Zhao Dahai?

"Dry!"

"Zhao Dahai caught a fish! It looks like the biggest one among the four!"

Xu Dachui shouted indignantly. Zhao Dahai was the last one to catch a fish, but his rod was bent the most severely, so it went without saying that he had caught the biggest fish.

"quick!"

"What else is there to think about? Just follow Zhao Dahai's example and set up the pole and just drift the speedboat."

Xu Xiaochui didn't think twice and immediately called on Xu Dachui to learn from Zhao Dahai like him.

Xu Dachui nodded. Zhao Dahai caught the fish this way, so why would he need to think of other fishing methods?

Cao Hong and Song Tianping looked at each other and immediately followed suit.

"Can you really catch fish this way?"

……

"Who knows?"

……

"We have to give it a try anyway. Didn't we still not catch any fish when we knocked on the bottom just now?"

……

"To be honest, I really don't have any confidence! Zhao Dahai can only catch fish this way, but it doesn't mean that we can catch fish this way."

"Dry!"

"How did you get stuck?"

……

Xu Dachui, Xu Xiaochui, Cao Hong and Song Tianping were in two speedboats not far from each other. They were fishing and talking non-stop. Everyone was unsure whether they could catch any fish in this way.

“Liu Bin Liu Bin!”

"Help me scoop the fish!"

Lei Dayou was sweating profusely and was very excited. After catching a fish weighing almost 200 kilograms, this was the second one. It looked like it was only 70 or 80 kilograms, but it was not a small fish. He had to control the fish well and shouted to Liu Bin to scoop the fish for him to prevent it from running away.

"Didn't you see that I caught a fish too? If you want to control the fish, does that mean I don't have to?"

Liu Bin ignored Lei Dayou.

"Lei Dayou."

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Did you see any fish on my rod?"

"Besides, this fish of yours is only 70-80 kilograms. How can you ask others to scoop up such a small fish for you? Just carry it up yourself!"

Zhong Shizhu looked at Lei Dayou with great contempt.

Lei Dayou looked left and right and found that there was indeed a fish on Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin's poles, and it seemed that it was a little bigger than his own.

"what!"

"Uncle Dayou!"

"There's really no way to deal with this. You can only do it yourself."

"This time, all four of us caught fish!"

Zhao Dahai saw Lei Dayou turning his head to look at him and pointed at his pole.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"Your fish is quite big. It looks like it weighs more than 100 kilograms!"

Lei Dayou was shocked. Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin both shouted loudly when they caught the fish, but Zhao Dahai didn't make any sound. Unexpectedly, he caught the fish without making any noise, and it was the biggest fish caught by the four of them.

"It should be around 90 kilograms, and it's unlikely to be more than 100 kilograms."

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded, in a very good mood. It was not just the fish he caught, the key was that his idea was correct. He found the correct way to fish at the Fengchejiao fishing spot today.

Lei Dayou was the first to catch a fish, and the first one to be pulled out of the water was a blue spotted fish weighing less than 70 kilograms.

Lei Dayou was worried that the fish would run away, so he did not go to the deck directly, but instead used a scoop net to scoop it up himself.

"hurry up!"

"My fish is about to come out of the water!"

……

"what!"

"It's better to arrive early than to arrive at the right time. My fish has come out of the water. Please help me scoop it up!"

……

When Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin saw that Lei Dayou had just fried the fish, they shouted for him to help fry the fish.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou watched as three groupers were caught on the deck in less than two minutes. One weighed about 80 kilograms, one weighed about 70 kilograms, and the remaining one weighed only a dozen kilograms. However, this was no ordinary blue grouper or sesame grouper but a valuable red grouper.

"How many more meters?"

Lei Dayou shouted at Zhao Dahai.

"About fifty meters. It will be out of the water soon."

"Don't worry, just unhook the three fish right now."

"Check it, especially the red spot, to see if there is any gas. If there is gas, deflate it immediately."

Zhao Dahai reminded Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that they must check whether the grouper they caught was bloated. Their grouper would be pulled out of the water soon, but there was no need to rush, as it would not escape.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou immediately checked the groupers carefully to see if they had bloating, especially the more than ten kilograms red grouper that Liu Bin had caught. They checked it carefully twice to make sure it had no bloating, then pushed it into the living cabin. After a careful look for a while, they found that all three groupers were alive and kicking.

Zhao Dahai watched the hooked grouper staggering out of the water from the bottom of the sea. He took out the scoop net he had prepared long ago and scooped up the grouper. He dragged it onto the deck by himself without the help of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.

"Yo!"

"Why is this grouper still so fierce?"

Zhong Shizhu touched his face. The grouper that Zhao Dahai had just dragged up suddenly struggled hard, and the sea water flew everywhere due to its tail.

"what!"

"The bell stone pillar."

"This is a fish that can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars. Let alone splashing water on my face, even if the fish's tail sweeps me into the sea, I will get up willingly."

Liu Bin looked at the big grouper caught by Zhao Dahai. It was not as big as the one he had just caught, but for a place like Fengchejiao fishing spot, it was considered a very big one.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"I feel like the fish we caught here today are all relatively large, at least much larger than when we usually come here to fish."

Lei Dayou checked his hook as he spoke. Finding no problem, he hooked a large octopus on it again and threw it into the sea, waiting for Zhao Dahai to call him to let out the line.

"Correct!"

“It does feel that way.”

……

"The fish we caught this time were generally larger, especially in the last two trips. We caught two groupers weighing nearly 200 kilograms, and now we caught another one weighing nearly 100 kilograms."

……

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin did not notice this at first, but after Lei Dayou said this, they realized that it was true.

"That's how big fish come out. Another reason is probably related to the way we fish. Most of the fish we catch are bigger."

"The fish here at Windmill Foot Fishing Top are not from other places. Most of them are native to here. However, most of these fish usually hide in the reef holes and don't bite the hook at all."

"When big fish are caught, it's not that there are more fish in the sea, but that the fish in the sea are biting more fiercely. The big groupers that usually hide on the seabed come out to bite the hooks."

"That, combined with the way we found ways to catch these fish, is why the grouper we caught this time around was bigger than we usually get here."

Zhao Dahai hooked the octopus and threw it into the sea. After thinking for a while, he shouted to Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin not to hook the octopus, but to hook big crabs. The fish they just caught were all caught with octopus, but they just noticed that many of the speedboats around were using octopuses. At least they could see that all the speedboats around were learning to use octopuses like them. Maybe it would be better to use crabs instead. There were four people on their speedboat, two of them were fishing for octopuses and two of them were fishing for crabs. They would see what the grouper liked to bite more.

Without saying a word, Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin each caught a big crab and threw it into the sea.

"One hundred and thirty-two meters of water depth."

"The water here is a little shallower, and the structure here is not too complicated."

"Let the line out to one hundred and thirty-one meters."

Zhao Dahai thought about it and decided to take a risk. He noticed that many speedboats had hit the bottom of this place, but no fish were caught. The groupers on the seabed were more or less frightened, or they had become accustomed to hitting the bottom one after another. If he tried to catch the bottom in the same way, or just let the sea water flow and the tide flow like before, and let the speedboat drift forward, it might not be of any use. He had to change his method.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou couldn't understand why Zhao Dahai did this, but they knew that Zhao Dahai must have his reasons for doing so. When it comes to fishing, few people can compare to Zhao Dahai. Without hesitation, they cast the line to 131 meters.

Zhao Dahai watched as Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all released lines to all their own water layers. He controlled the speedboat, slightly increased the speed, and moved forward in the direction of the tide.

"Pay attention to the shaking of the tip of the fishing rod now."

"These small bounces at intervals are not caused by fish biting the hook but by the lead pendant hitting the seabed."

Zhao Dahai reminded Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to be careful. Don't just look at the fishing rods that are shaking from time to time. This time the line was let out to 131 meters, which is one meter away from 132 meters on the seabed. However, the terrain of the seabed cannot be flat. There are ups and downs. The speedboat will definitely have a chance to hit the seabed when it moves forward.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou stared at the tip of the rod on the gun mount with wide eyes and nodded continuously. Several times they wondered if a fish had taken the bait. If Zhao Dahai had not reminded them, they might have been unable to resist pushing the switch and reeling in the fish.

"Uncle Dayou!"

Zhao Dahai kept staring at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and the tips of the rods in front of him. The first fish to take the bait was on Lei Dayou's rod, but Lei Dayou obviously didn't notice it. He had no choice but to yell.

Lei Dayou was startled, but reacted very quickly. He immediately reached out and pushed the switch of the electric winch to reel in the wire.

"what!"

"Dry!"

“I didn’t know there was a fish taking the bait!”

Lei Dayou watched the electric reel spinning and the fishing rod bending very obviously. He knew that it was the fish, not the weight of the lead sinker hanging on the rod. He breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhao Dahai had not reminded him, the fish would have definitely escaped.
