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

Chapter 953: Ideas about New Fishing Spots
"One is that I just mentioned that it is impossible to catch the same amount of fish every time you go out to sea for fishing. In the first twenty days of this month, I caught a lot of fish, but in the past ten days or so, especially in the past three to five days, the number of fish caught has decreased a lot."

"Another reason is that large sea vessels can raise a lot of fish, and the past month has proven that they can be raised for a longer period of time."

"It's not that we can't find such buyers now, but I am still a little hesitant. Such buyers often hope for a stable supply."

"Zhao Dahai and I must first protect the fish from Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's Private Restaurant."

"I discussed it with Zhao Dahai a few days ago and decided not to look for another buyer for the time being."

Ding Xiaoxiang has been thinking about this matter recently. At first, she thought that it was risky for Zhao Dahai to keep all the fish on the fishing boat, so she wanted to find another buyer. But in recent days, she found that there was really no need to do so.

"oh!?"

"Is this really okay?"

"Liu Lei and Wu Weimin would definitely like this, but Zhao Dahai sometimes catches a lot of fish, and it is definitely not possible to keep all of them on the fishing boat. The risk is too great."

Yang Qin frowned. From her, Liu Lei and Wu Weimin's perspective, they definitely hope that Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang will not find another buyer, so that the fish of Hongyun Restaurant and Private Restaurant will not be affected. However, if Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang take too much risk and suffer a heavy loss, it will in turn affect Liu Lei and Wu Weimin. Anyone who does business seriously knows that if only one person makes money, the business will not be able to survive. Only when everyone upstream and downstream makes money and there is room for profit, can the business continue.

Ding Xiaoxiang told Yang Qin that when Zhao Dahai caught more fish, he would sell them through these sales channels. The price and profit would definitely not be as much as if he sold directly to Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant, but there was an advantage to doing so, as there was no need to ensure the supply of fish. There are gains and losses, and it is impossible to take advantage of everything.

Yang Qin thought about it, nodded, and didn't say anything more about this matter. Ding Xiaoxiang is a good businessman and Zhao Dahai is even smarter. He will definitely figure out such things.

Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin walked back to the yard.

Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao had already cooked the meal. They were all family, so there was no need to be polite.

Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin set the table and brought out the food, and the four of them ate dinner in the yard under the light.

After dinner, Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin cleaned the table and washed the dishes. Then they rode their motorcycles to leave Langtou Village and return to their home.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Dahai looked down at the pole on the gun mount in front of him somewhat helplessly, then looked at the pole in his hand and shook his head.

I have been fishing for more than ten hours from eight o'clock last night to this time, with almost no rest in between, but the amount of fish I caught was not very large, probably only about 500 kilograms in total.

Under normal circumstances, at this time you can catch fish weighing two thousand kilograms, or at least one thousand kilograms.

“It’s very hard to catch fish these days!”

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he looked at the surrounding sea. There was a speedboat about two or three hundred meters away, and seven or eight speedboats could be seen further away.

A month ago, when I, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Da and a few others came here to fish, there were already quite a few speedboats, but now there are even more speedboats.

There are some spots that only you know about, so you can’t fish during the day. The only places you can fish in are places that everyone knows, so there will be fewer fish you can catch.

"Our competition is really getting more and more fierce. Is it really true that there are really no fish to be caught in other places?"

Zhong Shizhu followed Zhao Dahai's line of sight and sighed. In the past ten days or so, the number of express deliveries on the artificial islands and reefs has increased significantly.

Not only are there more of them during the day, there are other topics at night as well, just not as many.

If this continues, there will definitely be more and more speedboats here on the artificial islands and reefs, and it might become another Windmill Foot fishing spot.

"what!"

"What can we do about it? You can definitely catch fish in other places, but it's unlikely you'll catch a lot of them. I heard that the Windmill Foot fishing spot has only caught about ten fish for seven or eight days in a row."

Liu Bin lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.

"There's really nothing we can do about it. There are indeed more fish on the artificial islands and reefs, but they are affected by the weather, tides, and currents, plus there are too many speedboats here now."

"Forget it!"

"Let's stop fishing here today. Let's pack up and rest for half an hour before going back."

Zhao Dahai thought about it and decided to pack up and go home.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou put away their fishing rods and began to look at the fish they had caught in the live tank. They caught about 1,000 kilograms yesterday, and 500 kilograms the next time, making a total of 1,500 kilograms.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all shook their heads.

"We didn't catch many fish today, but those we caught yesterday were mostly valuable red groupers."

"In fact, we made quite a bit of money on this trip!"

Zhao Dahai saw that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all looked a little unhappy.

"Hey!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"We haven't caught many fish in the past few days!"

Zhong Shizhu shook his head. Whether it was fishing or fishing, it was not true that you could catch a lot of fish every day. However, in the last few trips out to sea, even top fishing experts like Zhao Dahai were catching fewer fish, which was not a good thing.

Liu Bin and Lei Dayi both looked at Zhao Dahai when they heard this.

"what!"

"Uncle Shizhu, Uncle Liu, Uncle Dayou."

"You are right. The number of fish caught has indeed decreased recently, but there is really no better solution."

"Why is this happening? There are many reasons. One is the influence of the tides and water seasons mentioned earlier. Another reason is that there are many more speedboats here, many more competitors, and many more fish in the sea have been caught."

"But don't forget that we are still catching a lot of fish here on the artificial islands and reefs."

"We can't always compare the fish we catch now to when we first came here and there weren't as many speedboats."

Zhao Dahai knew very well that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were all worried that there were no fish to catch on the artificial islands and reefs.

When I came here to fish last year, there were very few speedboats. This place can even be said to be a wild place for offshore fishing. You can catch a lot of fish at any random fishing spot.

Now there are just more speedboats and more competitors, even myself, who has been fishing like crazy for a while and has almost finished fishing in places where it is easy to catch fish and there are more fish.

It will be almost impossible to catch as many fish as we did last year or some time ago.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou calmed down and thought about it carefully. Zhao Dahai was right. It was impossible to catch as many fish as before.

"Zhao Dahai."

"What should we do next? Continue fishing in this place?" Liu Bin looked at Zhao Dahai.

"Yo!"

"Uncle Liu."

"We have caught 1,500 kilograms of grouper and some other fish since yesterday, most of which are the red grouper from before."

"You don't really look down on these fish, do you? You don't think that catching so many fish and making so much money is too little."

Zhao Dahai made a joke.

Liu Bin was stunned for a moment. He really had such an idea. But in fact, after careful calculation, he realized that it didn't make sense to catch so many fish and make a lot of money. He felt that there were too few fish to catch on the artificial islands and reefs, so he had to change places.

"what!"

“You can still catch a lot of fish here!”

……

"It's not possible that you can really come here and catch a grouper weighing five or six thousand kilograms every day, right?"

……

“When you can earn more, earn more. When you can earn less, you can only earn less!”

"Even when it comes to eating, it's impossible to eat meat and fish every day!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou finally calmed down at this time. In recent period, or to be precise, in the first twenty days of this month, they had caught a lot of fish. It was a bit unbearable that the number of fish caught in the past few days had gradually decreased. However, if they calculated carefully, they would find that even though the number of fish caught had decreased a lot, the number of fish caught was still a lot.

Zhao Dahai told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that their main focus for the time being would be fishing on the artificial islands and reefs, but the next trip out to sea should be mainly to find spots other than fishing, especially in the waters near the artificial islands and reefs, to see if they could find some good spots to catch fish.

Zhao Dahai is very calm, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to catch more fish or make more money.

Zhao Dahai had already noticed that there were fewer and fewer fish caught on artificial islands and reefs in recent times. The easiest way to solve this problem was to fish in a different place, but the vast ocean was so vast that it was not easy to find a fishing spot.

"There are so many fish here on artificial islands and reefs because a lot of concrete pillars or other things have been put here to artificially create islands and reefs one after another. Fish have places to hide, so they can definitely continue to grow, and there will be more and more fish."

"There are too many speedboats on the artificial islands and reefs now!"

Zhao Dahai really doesn't want this to happen. He hopes that he will always have only one speedboat or only a few speedboats to go fishing on the artificial islands and reefs.

This is impossible. As time goes by, there are more and more speedboats here, and there will be more in the future.

It doesn’t mean that you can’t catch fish. Even if more speedboats come here, you will definitely be the one who can catch the most fish.

If there is a way to catch more fish elsewhere, we must think of a way.

"what?"

"The sea surface around the artificial islands and reefs? Are there fish in places like that?"

Zhong Shizhu shook his head.

Anyone who has experience in going out to sea knows that fish must have a place to hide before they will gather. Artificial islands and reefs are man-made large reefs. Such places gather a large number of fish, which means or causes that there will not be many fish in other seas around. Even if there are fish, these fish will keep swimming towards artificial islands and reefs and are unlikely to gather in other places.

"what!"

"Uncle Shizhu."

"You are absolutely right. With artificial islands and reefs, it is almost impossible for other seas around to gather a large number of fish."

"But there is one exception!"

Zhao Dahai nodded, but immediately shook his head. What Zhong Shizhu said was not wrong, but it was not comprehensive.

Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and Zhong Shizhu were all excited. They thought that what Zhao Dahai said must mean that he had discovered something. They might find a new fishing spot next. If that was true, they could catch a lot of fish.

"The ocean is so vast, why do we have to choose this place for artificial islands and reefs? Is it not possible to choose somewhere else?"

Zhao Dahai pointed to the surrounding sea.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da were completely confused and didn't know why Zhao Dahai suddenly brought up such a thing.

"what?"

"Is there any trick here?"

……

"what!"

"I haven't heard of any other reasons. Isn't it just a matter of finding a wide sea surface? Anyway, as long as you throw concrete pillars into the sea, the fish will gather there, right?"

……

"I really don't know what's going on!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou couldn't figure out what was going on.

Zhao Dahai shook his head.

The artificial island was definitely not chosen randomly. It was not just a wide sea area that was found and a bunch of concrete pillars were thrown on it.

"It is absolutely impossible to just build an artificial island anywhere."

"I think there must be tides and currents in this place. In other words, this artificial island must be a place where tides and currents or small ocean currents gather in the sea."

"Only by building artificial islands and reefs in this way can we gather a large number of fish in a very short period of time."

“The effect will be very good.”

Zhao Dahai did not keep the secret and directly told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da that he had his own idea. It would certainly be possible to find an artificial island or reef anywhere, but the effect would not be very good.
