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

Chapter 971: If someone else catches the fish, just grab it!
"There are so many speedboats fishing here, why should we be in a hurry? Let's see if any of these speedboats can catch fish. If they can, we'll go fishing for a while. If we really don't see any speedboats catching fish, we'll go look for more."

When Zhao Dahai saw that there were a lot of speedboats around, he immediately decided to see if any of these speedboats could catch fish. If there were speedboats that could catch fish, and there were quite a few speedboats that could catch fish, he would definitely go fishing. On the contrary, if there were not many speedboats that could catch fish, there was no need to waste time and he could just scan the area.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai."

“That’s a great idea.”

……

"If people like us who come here later catch more fish than those who come here earlier, it will cause public outrage."

……

"What can we do about it? This place depends on who has the ability. Whoever has the ability can catch more fish and make more money."

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all laughed, staring at the speedboats around them with wide eyes, and even picked up binoculars to stare carefully at the surroundings to see which speedboat had caught a fish. It didn't take long for the three of them to almost simultaneously discover that a speedboat had caught a fish about 300 meters away in the southeast direction.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Should we go over there now and take a look? Can we see if there are any fish?"

Zhong Shizhu immediately pointed to the speedboat that caught the fish.

Zhao Dahai nodded without hesitation and rushed over in the speedboat. He did not go directly to the speedboat that caught the fish, but slowed down about fifty meters away and looked carefully at the direction of the water flow on the sea surface. He then stared at the fish carefully and looked at the structure of the seabed.

"what!"

"I have to say there really is a good chance that there are a lot of fish hiding in this place."

Zhao Dahai watched for five or six minutes. The structure of the seabed was high and low, undulating, and all were reefs. It was very likely that there would be fish in such a place. A speedboat caught fish, proving that there were not only fish in this place, but also that the fish were biting.

Zhao Dahai called Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to prepare for fishing immediately.

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"You three can just use the gun carriage pole to try to knock on the bottom and see if it helps. I'll use the handheld spinning reel pole to see what method can easily catch the fish here."

"But I think we should be able to catch some fish. The fish in the sea are biting now."

While Zhao Dahai was shouting to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to prepare the rods, he picked up his own rod and directly hung the giant octopus on it. When fishing for grouper or other fish under the sea in the open sea, including Shanghai, you can use live shrimps, giant octopus, or big crabs, but he is used to using giant octopus, which is more likely to attract attention under the sea.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da nodded, immediately prepared the rods and tried them. There was nothing wrong with the electric reel. If a fish was hooked and there was a problem with the electric reel, it would be a big trouble.

"One hundred and sixty-five meters of water depth."

"Let the line out to 160 meters."

Zhao Dahai glanced at the fish finder, adjusted the position of the speedboat, and called out to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to let out the line.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou hung the octopus hook and threw it into the sea. They turned on the electric winch and let the line down. After a while, it was about 160 meters.

Zhao Dahai looked at the fish finder, confirmed the structure under the speedboat, and shouted to let out the line and hit the bottom.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were already prepared. As soon as Zhao Dahai opened his mouth, they let out the line and hit the bottom. The lead weight hit the seabed. After waiting for about 5 seconds, they began to reel the line up, which was about one meter away from the seabed.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou suddenly became nervous, and the three of them tried to buy at the bottom but none of them got stuck.

"Could it be that a fish has taken the bait on the first cast?"

"Is it possible that I'm so lucky?"

Lei Dayou had a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't have time to smoke it. He stared at the pole on the gun mount in front of him with wide eyes. At first, there was no movement, but suddenly, he didn't know if it was because of his eyesight, he saw the pole being pulled down hard.

Lei Da reacted very quickly without any hesitation. He pushed the switch of the electric winch hard, and it started to turn immediately, pulling the winch up a distance of one to two meters in one go.

Lei Dayou was very excited, he clenched his right fist and punched hard. He was really lucky on the first cast, a fish took the bait immediately, it looked like it weighed at least 50 kilograms, it was a good-sized fish.

"what!"

"There's fish!"

……

"Dry!"

“I caught a fish on my first try.”

……

Lei Dayou turned his head and looked. The poles in front of Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin were bending downwards and the electric winches were turning.

"Yo!"

"I say, what the hell is going on between you two? Why did you catch the same fish that I caught?"

Lei Dayou was sure that a fish had taken the bait on his sugarcane hook and pulled it off the seabed. He was just about to show off, but he didn't expect that Liu Bin and Zhong Shizhu both caught fish one after another.

"Yo!"

"Lei Dayou."

"What do you want to do? Do you want to show off in front of us? How can it be so easy? Do you mean that only you can catch fish, and Liu Bin and I can't catch any fish?"

……

"Humph!"

"Lei Dayou."

"You don't really think that your fishing skills are better than both of ours, do you? Where does such an idea come from?"

"Even if you catch fish sometimes, and Zhong Shizhu and I don't, it's just that you have a little better luck."

"You've been out to sea so many times, and you've never caught more fish than Zhong Shizhu and I have."

……

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin took a look at Lei Dayou's rod and immediately guessed what Lei Dayou was going to do. This was impossible. Lei Dayou caught a fish, and the two of them also caught fish. Moreover, it seemed that the fish they caught were a little bigger than Lei Dayou's.

Lei Dayou was very helpless. Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin both caught fish, and his idea of ​​showing off was dashed.

"what!"

"Liu Bin."

"Have you noticed that the fish we caught are bigger than Lei Dayou's."

Zhong Shizhu pointed at Lei Dayou's rod, then pointed at his own and Liu Bin's rods.

"Yo!"

"That's right, that's right."

"The fish we caught must be bigger than Lei Dayou's."

"what!"

"Lei Dayou."

"Now you know what technique is, right? Only people with good technique can catch bigger fish."

Liu Bin proudly squeezed the cigarette in his mouth.

"Fuck!" "What kind of skills do you have? You're just a little luckier. Some big fish on the bottom of the sea bit your hooks, but not mine."

Lei Dayou kept shaking his head. The fish was not pulled out of the water, but the rod he used was exactly the same as the rods used by Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin. The rods in front of Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin had a larger curvature. The two fish were estimated to weigh about 70 or 80 kilograms, which were really bigger than his fish.

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"Do you guys really need to talk so loudly?"

"People on several speedboats around here are staring at us with wide eyes!"

Zhao Dahai was shaking the spinning wheel vigorously to reel in the fish while reminding Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.

"what!"

“How could I have forgotten this?”

Zhong Shizhu raised his head and looked forward. The two speedboats were less than fifteen meters away from him and his group. He could clearly see the eyes and noses of the people on the speedboats. They were all pointing at him and Zhao Dahai and his group. It was a little hard to hear what they said, but he knew what they were saying without having to hear clearly.

"what?"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"When did you catch the fish?"

Liu Bin was startled. Zhao Dahai was reeling in a fish. Judging from the curve of the rod, the fish on the hook weighed more than 100 kilograms. The three of them had just caught fish and were very excited. They were busy talking and did not pay attention to Zhao Dahai, so they did not know about this.

Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou turned their heads and saw that Zhao Dahai had really caught a fish, and it was the biggest fish they had caught.

"what!"

"It can't be that all three of you catch fish while I don't. That would be really embarrassing."

Zhao Dahai shook the spinning wheel vigorously to reel in the fish. The fish caught was quite large, weighing at least 130 kilograms if not 150 kilograms. It was really great to be able to catch such a big fish in this place, especially to catch such a big fish on the first try, not to mention that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all caught fish, and the smallest one weighed more than 50 kilograms.

"We came here to the artificial island today. Just catching these four fish is enough to break even. We can't make a small profit."

Lei Dayou lowered his head to look at his electric reel. It had already reeled in fifty meters, and it wouldn't take long for the hooked fish to be pulled out of the water.

"But having said that, I didn't expect the fish to bite so well here. The four of us all caught fish while knocking on the bottom."

"That's weird. Didn't the speedboat just now come from this place? Why didn't we see them catch any fish?"

Liu Bin looked up and saw a speedboat not far away. It was this speedboat that floated past the spot where he and Zhao Dahai were fishing before they came here and caught a fish. No one else on the speedboat caught any fish. Zhao Dahai brought his people here and not only caught fish, but also caught four at once.

"How can such a thing make sense?"

"If you catch a fish, you catch a fish. If you don't catch a fish, you don't catch a fish. Even the gods can't help you."

"If I have to say it, it's who told us to be on Zhao Dahai's speedboat?"

Zhong Shizhu looked down at the sea. The sun had risen, the sea water was very clear, and the visibility was very high. You could also vaguely see the fish being pulled up.

Zhong Shizhu took a few looks and found that the fish was floating up a little too fast, so he immediately pushed the electric reel to speed up the line reeling. The hooked fish was floating up too fast and the line reeling was too slow, so the line suddenly became loose, making it easy for the fish to escape or for the line to get entangled in the fish's body and cause an accident.

There is no need to make a fuss about what Liu Bin said. Even if they are fishing in the same place, Zhao Dahai has a way to catch fish that others can't.

"coming!"

"My fish is out of water!"

"Blue spots!"

"Dry!"

"Why isn't it a red spot?"

"Yo!"

"He's a little bigger than I expected, probably about 60 kilograms!"

Lei Dayou looked left and right. Zhao Dahai, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all caught fish. He could only use the scoop net to pull it up and weigh it. It was a little bigger than he had imagined, and it must be 60 kilograms.

"what!"

"Lei Dayou!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you look down on the 60-pound Qingban?"

"If we keep the fish alive and bring it back to the dock, we can sell it for at least three hundred yuan per pound. This one fish is worth twenty thousand yuan!"

"If you caught a fish like this when you went fishing, you would cry tears of joy."

Liu Bin despised Lei Dayou very much. It was obvious that he had caught too many big fish when he went fishing with Zhao Dahai during this period, so he looked down on the 60-jin blue spot.

"Sixty pounds of red spots?"

"If it really is a red spot, that would be a big deal!"

"Lei Dayou."

"You really have caught too many big fish, and you look down on the 60-pound bluefish."

"This is not okay."

Zhong Shizhu kept shaking his head.

"What can be done about this?"

"Who told us to follow Zhao Dahai? We really caught too many fish!"

Lei Da nodded. When he, Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin went fishing at sea, they could catch a blue snapper weighing 60 kilograms, which made them happy for at least half a month. But now, seeing such a small fish caught, he really didn't care at all and was not excited at all. He felt that it was just a fish and nothing special.

"coming!"

"Mine weighs eighty kilograms!"

……

"what!"

"Ninety kilograms, ninety kilograms! It's almost a hundred kilograms!"

……

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin shouted loudly to Lei Dayou to take the scoop net and help scoop the fish.

Lei Dayou didn't even look at Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin as he walked to Zhao Dahai with a large scoop net, waiting for the fish Zhao Dahai caught to be pulled out of the water.

"You two caught a fish weighing 80 or 90 kilograms. Do you have the nerve to ask me to fish for you?"

"These big fish weighing more than 100 kilograms that Zhao Dahai caught are worthy of using a landing net and my help."

Lei Dayou stared at the water in front of Zhao Dahai with wide eyes, and vaguely saw that the fish was indeed very large.

"what?"

"This fish must be more than 100 kilograms, right?"

Lei Dayou looked at the huge shadow under the water, which was slowly swaying and floating up. It looked like it must weigh more than a hundred pounds.
