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

Chapter 972: Stealing someone else's warm-up place?
"what!"

"How could this fish only weigh 100 kilograms? If it weighed only 100 kilograms, I would have eaten it raw myself!"

Zhong Shizhu glanced at the sea in front of Zhao Dahai and the huge shadow under the sea, shaking his head. It must be more than a hundred pounds.

Zhong Shizhu looked down at the water in front of him again. The fish that was about to be pulled up was only 80 kilograms. What Lei Dayou said was right. It was really not worth using a scoop net to help scoop up the fish.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"You are really good. The fish you caught are much bigger than ours!"

As Liu Bin spoke, he picked up the scoop net and scooped up the fish he had caught.

"Hey!"

"We're talking between the two of you, could you please not be so loud?"

"The eyes of the people on the speedboats behind us are about to pop out of their heads. If they keep talking like this, they will definitely come over!"

Lei Dayou held the scoop net and looked at the speedboats on the opposite side. Several of them were eager to come here to fish.

"Does this even need to be said? Even if we don't speak loudly, the speedboats on the other side and the surrounding speedboats will see that we have caught four fish at once, and these four fish are all big. How can they just stand by and watch? They will definitely come over."

Zhong Shizhu checked the two fish that he and Liu Bin had caught, and found that neither of them was bloated. He kicked them hard and slid into the live water tank of the speedboat. The splashing water soaked his head and face. He looked up and saw that two or three of the speedboats that Lei Dayou had just mentioned were coming towards him.

Whether it's fishing or angler, as long as you see someone else catch a fish, as long as you see someone else catch a fish, everyone will rush over.

Lei Dayou watched Zhao Dahai catch the fish, and was already waiting to reach out with the scoop net, scoop up the fish, and pull it to the side of the speedboat.

Zhao Dahai let go of the line.

"quick!"

"Uncle Shizhu and Uncle Liu! You two don't need to help, just knock on the bottom again and see if there are any fish here. If there are, we can catch them. If not, we'll leave here!"

When Zhao Dahai saw Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin wanted to come over to help pull in the fish, he stopped them immediately and controlled the speedboat to stay where it was. Even though he had caught four fish, he could never tell whether there were more fish under the sea. He had to give it a try regardless of whether there were fish or not. Otherwise, he would be so sorry if his speedboat left and someone nearby caught fish.

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin immediately continued fishing.

Zhao Dahai saw that Lei Da was unable to catch any fish, so he lent a hand.

"Zhao Dahai."

"I can fish, you can do it yourself!"

Lei Dayou looked at the two speedboats that were squeezing in and were only about ten meters away from him, put down the scoop net in his hand, and started fishing immediately.

Zhao Dahai took the pliers and removed the hook. He carefully checked the big blue fish he had caught. It was definitely over 130 kilograms.

"Not bad!"

“This fish is a really nice size!”

Zhao Dahai slapped the big blue spot's head hard, pushed it hard in the direction of the live water tank, and slid over and fell in.

"Yo!"

“There really is more!”

Zhong Shizhu was very fast. He let out the line about 155 meters in one go and hit the bottom directly. A fish took the bait immediately, but it was not a big one. Judging from the curvature of the fishing rod, it should weigh no more than 30 kilograms.

"coming!"

"Dry!"

"Why is mine smaller than yours?"

Liu Bin was very happy at first when he saw a fish taking the bait, but when he reeled the line in five or six meters from the seabed and saw the pole bend, the fish he caught was only a dozen pounds.

"It's good enough if there are fish biting the hook! How can every fish be a big one?"

"We just caught four fish here, each weighing 70 to 80 kilograms. The one caught by Zhao Dahai weighs more than 130 kilograms."

"Even if there are fish in this place, they can't be very big!"

Lei Dayou looked at his rod. It had been almost two minutes since he had hit the bottom and pulled it away from the seabed, and there was no movement at all. If nothing unexpected happened, there would definitely be no fish taking the bait.

"Correct!"

"They caught a lot of fish here and caught large groupers weighing 100 to 180 kilograms or even 130 kilograms."

“It’s really great that we were able to catch two fish!”

Zhao Dahai originally wanted to fish, but when he saw Lei Dayou knocking on the bottom, he pulled the hook to the bottom of the sea and found that there was no fish biting, so he gave up.

Whether it is grouper or other seabed fish, they all have their own territory, especially fish like grouper, which have their own "sphere of influence".

My speedboat is quite large, but its coverage area is only about ten to twenty square meters.

I caught four fish in the last round, and two more in this round, which makes a total of six fish, and they are all groupers. This is already very amazing. Under normal circumstances, it is already good to have two groupers in such a large area. The grouper I caught weighs more than 130 kilograms and should be the largest grouper in the surrounding area. There cannot be any larger one.

Zhao Dahai waited for a while, and when Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin pulled the fish they caught out of the water, they saw that they were all small green spotted fish weighing about ten pounds.

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin were both a little disappointed, but catching a grouper weighing more than ten kilograms was better than not catching any fish at all.

Zhao Dahai took a look at Lei Dayou's rod and saw that no fish had taken the bait, so he shouted and asked him to put away the rod.

"gone!"

"There are no fish in this place. Let's give it to other speedboats and continue fishing in another place!"

Zhao Dahai took a look and saw that there were already five speedboats surrounding him, and the closest one was definitely less than ten meters away from him.

Walking down the sea, Lei Dayou waited for him to put away his fishing rod and drove away in the speedboat.

"Zhao Dahai."

"We have already caught so many fish in that place, and these people left after seeing us not catching any fish. Will we lose that spot again?"

Lei Dayou looked back and saw that several speedboats were suddenly crowded around the place where Zhao Dahai and his men had just caught fish.

"hehe!"

"So what if they see us? These speedboats will definitely fish at the place where we just caught fish for at least an hour. They will only leave if they don't catch any fish." Zhao Dahai shook his head.

The people on these speedboats have been fishing for many years and are very experienced. They know that after fishing so many fish here, there is no way there are any more fish or the chance of catching fish is very low.

But these people will definitely not give up. They will definitely try fishing in the place where they just caught fish, and will not leave until they really cannot catch any fish.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all nodded with a smile. In fact, everyone who goes out to sea has this idea. They always think that there must be other fish where others catch fish, and they even think that their luck must be better than others.

Zhao Dahai was driving the speedboat, but he didn't rush to start fishing immediately. Instead, he went to the place where there were more speedboats.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"You want the same idea? Go wherever you see a speedboat with fish?"

At first, Zhong Shizhu didn't quite understand why Zhao Dahai did this. Generally speaking, the more speedboats there are, the greater the competition and the harder it is to catch fish. After a while, he remembered that Zhao Dahai was just planning to follow Zhao Dahai's advice.

"Correct!"

"Going fishing in the open sea is actually a good method. It doesn't mean that you can't catch fish in places with a lot of speedboats."

"In fact, in places where there are more speedboats, there is a greater chance of catching fish under certain circumstances."

Zhao Dahai saw several speedboats gathered together. After watching for about ten minutes, he found that none of the speedboats could catch any fish and none of the speedboats were stuck on the bottom, so he drove over immediately.

"Why is this?"

While Lei Dayou was hanging a big octopus on the hook, he asked Zhao Dahai curiously.

"Many people think that it is very difficult to fish in places with many speedboats, especially in places with many speedboats. You and I are desperately hitting the bottom, but there are no fish or even if there are fish, they are scared and dare not bite the hook."

"That's not actually the case!"

"At a depth of more than 100 meters, no matter what kind of fish it is, they are very bold. Big fish, such as grouper, are even more ferocious when they catch other fish, shrimps and crabs to fill their stomachs."

"General bottom-fishing or even general bottom-hanging will not have any impact on it."

"Sometimes, if the fish bites, you can catch them with just one tap. But sometimes, if the fish doesn't bite and show much interest in feeding, one tap will not be enough to attract the fish's interest. You have to tap the bottom many times, sometimes even ten times, before you can attract the grouper's attention."

"If you see a speedboat or even a lot of speedboats fishing in one place, don't leave immediately. You have to observe and see what the place is like."

"The spot where our speedboat is parked now is a special situation. So many speedboats are constantly hitting the bottom here. They have already hit it more than ten or twenty times."

"Since we came here, we haven't seen any speedboats catching any fish, but we have to notice that there are so many speedboats here that are constantly hitting the bottom, but not a single speedboat is stuck."

"The fish finder shows that this is not a flat place, but has depths. It is very likely not a rock, but a pit."

"There can't be no fish in a place like this. There must be fish. If no fish bite, there is only one possibility, that is, the fish here are not very interested."

"This is what I just said. It will take many knocks on the bottom to attract the attention of the fish in the sea and arouse their interest."

"quick!"

"Let's cast our rods right away."

"The water is 160 meters deep. Stop at 157 meters. As soon as you reach the water layer, knock on the bottom immediately. There is no need to wait for me to speak."

Zhao Dahai lowered his voice. There were quite a few accountants around, and the distance was not far, so they could hear him if he spoke louder. Now was a good opportunity, and he had to seize the time. As long as he made the decision, a fish might take the bait at any time.

Without saying a word, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da immediately picked up the hook that had been hooked with the giant octopus and threw it into the sea. They quickly let the line down. When it reached 157 meters, it immediately hit the bottom. After the lead weight hit the bottom, they waited for about ten seconds and then reeled the line in and pulled it away from the seabed.

"Yo!"

"coming!"

……

"what!"

"That's right!"

"It's really not wrong at all!"

"There are fish taking the bait."

……

"Not small!"

"Forty or fifty kilograms is definitely not going to get away."

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were very excited. Zhao Dahai's judgment was correct. The speedboats around them had been knocking on the bottom but had not caught any fish. However, as soon as they knocked on the bottom, fish took the bait.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"Could it be that those speedboats around here that were hammering at the bottom just now were working for us?"

"We keep hitting the bottom desperately, but it just attracts the attention of the fish on the bottom of the sea. They are waiting for us to come here and hit the bottom, and then we will catch the fish immediately."

Zhong Shizhu looked up at the speedboats around him. The people on them all had their eyes wide open, staring at him and Chao Dahai and his men in disbelief.

Zhao Dahai held the rod in his right hand and gently pulled it up and down. There was no fish biting the hook when he knocked on the bottom just now, but he was not anxious at all. What Zhong Shizhu said was absolutely right. The express deliveries around him that were bottom-fishing just now were really like his own faded appearance. They just attracted the interest of the groupers on the seabed, and they were waiting for him to come here to bottom-fishing, and then a fish would bite the hook immediately.

Zhao Dahai lowered his voice and told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that they had caught fish by knocking on the bottom here. One reason was that the speedboats around had warmed up the place, and the other was that they came here with octopuses instead of big live shrimps like the speedboats around them. In the same place, some people can catch fish and some people can't. This has to do with technology and luck, but it is also directly related to the bait used. It's not that live shrimps can't catch fish, or that octopuses are definitely more useful than live shrimps or crabs. But in a place, if one bait doesn't catch fish, you have to think quickly and switch to another one immediately. Many times, fish will bite the hook as long as you switch.

Right after Zhao Dahai finished speaking, the rod in his hand suddenly pulled down. It was not very obvious, but there was definitely a fish taking the bait. He raised his hand to lift the rod, stabbed the fish, and turned the spinning wheel to reel in the line.

"what!"

"erythema!"

"This one is a red snapper, and it's a pretty good-sized one, weighing at least 30 kilograms, if not 40 kilograms."

Zhao Dahai reeled in the line five or six meters away from the seabed and immediately realized that this was a red spot, not the green spot he had just caught. It was not just a red spot, but a red spot of quite a good size.
