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

Chapter 944 Sometimes Luck is More Important

"Not big, not big!"

“This is only 20 to 30 kilograms, right?”

"No need to panic!"

"It doesn't matter if he runs away!"

"There's no need to be so nervous. Smoke if you need to smoke, drink water if you need to drink water."

Zhao Dahai laughed. Lei Dayou really looked scared just now, but there was no need to be like that.

The fish that was hooked was not big, so even if it ran away, the loss of the fish would not be big. Besides, when going out to sea to fish, especially with people like Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou who fish for grouper at the bottom, it is inevitable that fish will be lost. If it ran away, it ran away. It really is nothing.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Why do I feel like you don't even take a fish like this seriously?"

"You don't really think this fish is too small and worthless, do you?"

"Don't look at the 20 or 30 kilograms, but it might be an old red spot."

Zhong Shizhu made a joke, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a deep puff, but his eyes were fixed on his fishing rod.

"what!"

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"Why do I feel that what you said is correct? Although this one is small, it is very likely to be a red spot."

At the beginning, Zhao Dahai really took a look at Lei Dayou's rod. After making sure that the fish had been hooked and pulled away from the seabed, he no longer cared. It didn't matter what kind of fish it was, whether it was a grouper or not. But after Zhong Shizhu said this, he turned his head and took another look. He really felt that it was most likely a red grouper.

When Lei Dayou heard what Zhao Dahai said, he immediately slowed down the speed of reeling in. If it was really erythema, then he had to avoid bloating as much as possible.

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"Uncle Liu."

"Reel in the line! Pull it three meters away from the seabed!"

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly to Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin to reel in the line three meters from the seabed. Lei Dayou had already stopped the speedboat when a fish took the bait.

"quick!"

“Bottom, bottom!”

When Zhao Dahai saw Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin pull up to three meters, he immediately shouted loudly, "Now is the time to hit the bottom."

The fish that Lei Dayou caught is now about 50 meters away from the seabed. No matter whether he or Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin knock on the bottom, it will not affect the fish. It is a good thing if he can catch a fish and it bites the hook. If he can't catch any fish, then forget it. Anyway, he might as well give it a try while he has nothing to do.

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin were both stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Zhao Dahai to ask them to hit the bottom, but they didn't think much about it and immediately released the line to hit the bottom.

Zhao Dahai did the same thing as Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin, and immediately set the line to hit the bottom.

"quick!"

"Reel in!"

"Pull it up one meter!"

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he pushed the electric winch of the pole mounted on the gun mount in front of him, retracted it one meter and then stopped immediately.

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin immediately reeled in the line as Zhao Dahai had said.

"Will there be any fish taking the bait?"

Zhong Shizhu stared at his rod and couldn't help muttering to himself, "I haven't hit the bottom for such a long time, and now I'm hitting it suddenly, I really don't know if there will be any fish."

Liu Bin wanted to speak when he saw the butt of the rod in front of him seemed to be tugged by someone. He ignored Zhong Shizhu and pushed the electric reel hard to reel in the line.

"what?"

"Are there any fish taken?"

Zhong Shizhu was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that a fish would take the bait as soon as Liu Bin knocked on the bottom.

"what!"

"How could this not be from a fish?"

"If it's not fish, then what is it?"

Liu Bin was very proud. When Zhao Dahai just called him and Zhong Shizhu to hit the bottom, he really couldn't react. The thought that flashed through his mind was that it might be useless. The recent fish, including Lei Dayou who just caught a fish, did not use this method. I didn't expect that I was fishing at the bottom. Just after I pulled away from the seabed, a fish bit the hook immediately.

"We don't need to think too much about fishing, just listen to Zhao Dahai!"

"Yo!"

“Mine is really a red spot!”

Lei Dayou was very happy. The fish he caught had been pulled to the surface of the water, with only about five meters left. He could see it very clearly and it was indeed a red snapper. Although it only weighed twenty kilograms, the price of this fish was not low.

"what!"

"You're right. We don't need to pay any attention to him. We just do whatever Zhao Dahai tells us to do. Look, I caught a fish, didn't I?"

"what!"

"This fish looks like it should be quite big, at least 80 kilograms if not 100 kilograms."

Liu Bin looked at the fishing rod on the gun stand in front of him, which had a large curve. He waved his hand excitedly. He had no idea how many groupers weighing 100 to 80 kilograms he had caught, but big fish were different. He was very excited every time he caught one.

Zhong Shizhu stared at the fishing rod in front of him for a long time. Seeing no movement, he shook his head, knowing that he had no chance with this one.

"Uncle Shizhu."

"We have already caught two fish at this point. One is a 20-pound red grouper caught by Uncle Dayou, and the other is a 100- to 180-pound large grouper caught just now by Uncle Liu."

“It’s a lot of money!”

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he gently lifted the rod in his hand up and down. This was a habit he developed from fishing for a long time. The place where Lei Dayou and Liu Bin caught fish was not far away, so catching two fish was already very rare. It was impossible for four people to catch fish at every spot every time.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Is today's fishing spot at Windmill Foot considered a big catch?"

Liu Bin looked at the speedboats around him with great curiosity. Indeed, many speedboats had caught fish, but most of the speedboats had not caught any fish. It didn't seem like they were big fish, but if they were, it didn't seem like they were big fish either. He was not particularly familiar with the situation here and could only ask Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai nodded. Today's fishing spot at Windmill Foot was indeed a good place to catch big fish.

"It's just that the situation today is a little different. The fish in the sea are biting more fiercely than normal, but it's unlikely to catch them without some tips."

Zhao Dahai is very familiar with the Fengchejiao fishing spot.

If there hadn't been a big catch of fish today, it would have been impossible for so many speedboats to catch fish, and even I wouldn't have been able to catch so many fish. But the fish today are harder to catch than normal, and people without skills won't be able to catch any fish here today.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou understood what was going on.

Don’t think that fishing by yourself is very easy, it is because Zhao Dahai is giving instructions and reminders beside you, such as when to notice the bottom being hit and when to pull the rod up and down.

If it weren't for Zhao Dahai, these people could only fish in the same way as the people on the speedboats around them, but they really couldn't catch many fish.

"One hundred and sixty-seven meters!"

“This is a fishing spot for a shipwreck!”

"There is no better way, we can only rely on luck!"

"Use the heaviest lead weight!"

The speedboat driven by Zhao Dahai arrived at a relatively sparsely populated location.

In the past ten or twenty years, countless speedboats have come to the Windmill Foot fishing spot to fish. All the spots have been scanned by fish finders countless times, and all the conditions are clear.

There are a lot of fish at the shipwreck site, but such places are very difficult to adjust, the structure is complex, and it is very easy to change. Sometimes the fish will change just by being washed by sea water.

A place that is not hanging today will be hanging at the bottom tomorrow or even in an hour or two.

Generally, people who go fishing in the open sea love and hate such spots. There are many fish in such places, and it is very likely to catch fish as long as they don't get stuck on the bottom, but such places are very easy to get stuck on the bottom.

Most people fishing in places like this have to hang their rods on the bottom after eight or even nine attempts to catch grouper.

"what?"

"By luck?"

Zhong Shizhu was a little dumbfounded. He had long been accustomed to the fact that Zhao Dahai could find the best way to fish and catch a lot of fish wherever he went fishing. But now Zhao Dahai's words proved that there was no better way in this place.

"what!"

"This is not just a shipwreck site, but a wooden shipwreck site."

"In places like this or fishing boats on the seabed, after being soaked in seawater for so many years, a lot of the wood has rotted away."

"With the scouring or flow of seawater, things are changing all the time, and no one knows the seabed structure here."

“If it weren’t for this, why are there so few speedboats fishing around?”

Zhao Dahai pointed to the surrounding seashore and saw that there were only a few speedboats within a radius of about 100 meters.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou looked around and found that there were only four speedboats fishing in this area, including their own speedboat. There were many speedboats in other places, and at some points there was even a speedboat every five or six meters. In comparison, this place was really deserted.

"Yo?"

"What are the people on these two speedboats doing? Are they hanging on the bottom?"

……

"Hey!"

"It seems that the fish in this place are really hard to catch!"

……

"You are really serious, right? Is it really true that we can only rely on luck in this place?"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou looked around.

"Why can't we rely on luck when fishing? Of course we can do that, and Uncle Shizhu, don't you forget that I have always had very good luck when I go fishing at sea?"

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he scooped up a large octopus, hung it on a hook, and threw it into the sea. The lead weight dragged it down and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou recognized him and then nodded vigorously. There was no need to say much about Zhao Dahai's fishing skills. What was even more incredible was that Zhao Dahai's luck in fishing was also very good.

"what!"

"If that's the case, no matter whether we can catch fish or not, Zhao Dahai, you will definitely be able to catch fish!"

Zhong Shizhu took a look and saw that Zhao Dahai had already started to let out the line. He immediately hung a big octopus on his hook and threw it into the sea.

Liu Bin and Lei Dayou hooked the giant octopus in exactly the same way and started to let out the line.

"One hundred and sixty meters!"

"Pull it up and down, if it's not stuck, release the line and hit the bottom!"

Zhao Dahai looked at the wheel in his hand and found that it was almost at 160 meters.

Zhao Dahai pulled the rod up and down two or three times, but it did not get stuck and did not hit anything on the seabed.

Zhao Dahai suddenly let go of the line.

A very heavy lead weight was pulled down suddenly and hard.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou couldn't help but stop and look at Zhao Dahai to see if he was really lucky enough to catch a fish.

Zhao Dahai looked and saw that the line was loose and the lead weight had hit the bottom of the sea.

Zhao Dahai waited for five or six minutes before he slowly turned the electric winch to reel in the line.

"what?"

"Does it take that long to wait?"

……

"What is this for?"

……

"what!"

"I just want to know whether it's the bottom or not!"

“As long as you don’t get stuck on the bottom, you’ll have a chance to catch the big grouper here.”

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou waited for several minutes, which seemed very long. When they saw Zhao Dahai turning the handle of the electric reel to reel in the line, they all widened their eyes, wanting to see if he could catch any fish.

"what!"

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"What are you guys so nervous about?"

Zhao Dahai stopped when he was about three meters away from the seabed and turned his head to see that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were all staring at him with their eyes wide open and holding their breath.

Zhong Shizhu was about to speak when he suddenly saw the tip of the fishing rod on the gun mount in front of Zhao Dahai pulled down hard. The entire fishing rod was bent in a very large arc. Not only was there a fish taking the bait, but it was also a big one.

Zhong Shizhu was startled and was about to open his mouth to remind them loudly, but Zhao Dahai was talking to them. He turned his head and couldn't see any movement on the rod. Before he could say anything, Zhao Dahai seemed to be able to see it. He pushed the reel's line-reel switch and it turned suddenly. The rod bent even more severely, but the hooked fish was pulled away from the seabed.

"Yo!"

"This fish is really big!"

……

"He's definitely not going to get away with a hundred pounds!"

……

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai, you are absolutely right. Your luck is really good. You can catch fish in a place like this. The key is that you caught a fish weighing over 100 kilograms without getting stuck on the bottom on the first cast. Even if the next eight or ten casts get stuck on the bottom, we will still make a lot of money!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were very excited.

Zhao Dahai lowered his head and stared at the electric reel and the rod for a while, waiting until the hooked fish was pulled about fifty meters away from the seabed before he could finally relax.

"That's right!"

“I have really good luck fishing!”

Only then did Zhao Dahai smile and nodded.

There are a lot of fish at the shipwreck site, which is something that anyone who fishes knows, but not everyone can catch them. Many people think that fishing in such a place does require skills, but there is really not much room for technology to be used in such a place.

What is more important is luck. As long as you have good enough luck and don't get stuck when you knock on the bottom, you can almost always catch fish.

"correct!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"Weren't you talking to us just now? How could you see a fish taking a bite?"

Zhong Shizhu was very curious.
