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

Chapter 974: Getting stuck in a dead end!
"Zhao Dahai!"

"We missed a few hours, can we catch any fish?"

Zhong Shizhu thought back to the past few hours when he was driving the speedboat while Zhao Dahai had been staring at the fish finder's screen and had marked at least sixteen or seventeen spots, if not twenty.

"what!"

"We'll know if we can catch any fish if we give it a try."

Zhao Dahai smiled. It took him several hours and a lot of gasoline to try out the marked spots to see if he could catch any fish. There were always speedboats around during the day, which was not very suitable. But now it was night and there were almost no lights from speedboats or fishing boats on the artificial islands and reefs. It was a good opportunity to try out the spots to see if he could catch any fish.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were cheered up. They had been fishing for the past few hours without stopping. At the beginning, they felt very interested, but as time went by, they gradually felt uneasy, wondering if these points were useful and whether they could catch any fish.

"Uncle Shizhu!"

“You don’t have to worry about not being able to catch fish at these spots.”

"It's impossible not to catch fish, it just depends on how easy it is to catch and how much you can catch."

Zhao Dahai was not worried about not being able to catch fish. The structure of the seabed here is very complex. There must be fish in such a place. Even if there are many speedboats coming here to fish recently, there are still many fish hiding in the seabed. This is a place with far more fish than the windmill foot fishing spot.

"Ugh!"

"This is a really good place, but unfortunately there are too many speedboats coming here now."

Lei Dayou was really a bit depressed.

Last year, there were speedboats for fishing on the artificial islands, but there were not many of them. However, this year, especially at this time, there are more and more speedboats here.

The artificial islands and reefs are indeed far away, and fishing here is risky and costly. However, as long as there are speedboats fishing, especially if you can't catch many fish in other places, such as Windmill Foot, you will definitely have to take the risk and come here.

The more speedboats that come, the more speedboats that will catch fish. The news will spread quickly and spread more and more widely. More and more people will know about it, and the speedboats coming here to fish will be like a snowball. In less than half a year, fishing speedboats can be seen on the sea surface of the entire artificial island reef.

"What time is this?"

"What's the point of talking about this now? We need to be more alert and see if we can really catch any fish later."

Zhong Shizhu looked at Lei Dayou. He had mentioned this matter countless times before, but it was no use. There were still more and more speedboats.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Are we going to start fishing now?"

Zhong Shizhu stood up and looked at the sea around him. It was pitch black, with only a few meters around his speedboat where the lights were bright. There were also many small fish gathered on the water.

"Correct!"

"After eating and drinking, we have to get to work. Get ready, we're going to start fishing soon."

Zhao Dahai nodded, walked to the cockpit of the speedboat, turned on the fish finder's navigation, found the coordinates closest to his current location, started the speedboat and drove over.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou immediately took their positions and quickly prepared for fishing. They checked the rods and reels and hung the big octopus on the hook.

"Next time we go out to sea, we have to buy more giant octopuses. We use less live shrimp, but more giant octopuses. We also don't use too many crabs."

Lei Dayou looked left and right, and he, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Zhao Dahai all chose the giant octopus.

"Correct!"

“We really need to buy more.”

Liu Bin nodded immediately. The thing he used most was giant octopus. He would only use live shrimps and crabs when Zhao Dahai reminded him that these people needed live shrimps or crabs.

"Isn't this easy? We can buy as much as we want. In fact, there are quite a few octopuses in the live water tank on our speedboat. Unless we can catch 10,000 kilograms of grouper a day, we will definitely not be able to use them all."

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat to the first point, slowed down, and carefully adjusted the position of the speedboat while looking at the fish finder navigation.

Live shrimp, crabs and octopus can all be used to catch grouper in the sea, but each has its own characteristics. The biggest feature of octopus is that its tentacles are relatively long. When swimming in the sea, it is very eye-catching and can easily attract the attention of large groupers.
Every time I go out to sea, I buy a lot of octopus, crabs and live shrimps, which I definitely can’t use up.

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

"It looks like there's no reef underneath, but a constantly undulating seabed."

Zhao Dahai looked at the fish finder screen carefully, wondering what the structure of the seabed beneath the speedboat looked like.

"what?"

"Isn't it a reef structure? If it's like this, how should we fish? Is it still the same as hitting the bottom?"

Lei Dayou was stunned for a moment. He saw his men going out to sea to fish, especially bottom fishing for grouper, which was mostly rocky. He didn't expect that the first spot tonight was not a reef. For a moment, he couldn't think of how to catch the fish here.

"Lei Dayou."

"Is there any need to think about it? Can't we just knock on the bottom directly? It's not easy to get stuck in a place like this, or even almost impossible to get stuck on the bottom."

Liu Bin blurted out without thinking.

"That's right!"

"Why would you need to think too much about a place like this?"

"Why not just knock on the bottom? If there's a fish, it'll definitely bite!"

"With submarine structures like this, the concern isn't how to fish, but whether there are fish."

Zhong Shizhu turned his head and looked at Zhao Dahai.

If there are reefs in the sea, large groupers will easily gather there, but they are more difficult to fish. Now the first spot Zhao Dahai chose is not a reef seabed, but an uneven and undulating seabed. Such places are generally not easy to get stuck on the bottom, but it is hard to say whether there are fish.

"How can you be sure of this? But I think there should be more than enough fish in a place like this. Even if there aren't many, there must be fish."

Zhao Dahai smiled. He knew that Zhong Shizhu was really worried that there were no fish on the seabed.

I really can't guarantee this 100%, but in my opinion, there are not only fish in this place, but also a lot of fish.

When speedboats go offshore or even deep sea fishing, most people will choose to fish in places with structures, usually reefs. The more reefs and the more complex the structure, the more likely it is that there will be fish, and large fish.

There is definitely nothing wrong with doing this, but such places are often very difficult to fish and it is very easy to get stuck on the bottom.

It's not easy to catch fish without some skills.

But in the vast ocean, there is a place where a large number of fish can gather, even more than the complex reefs.

There are no reefs, but the terrain structure is undulating, so a large number of fish may gather there.

Zhao Dahai has been fishing on artificial islands and reefs since the end of last year until now. He has found many spots and has caught a lot of fish, but most of them are reef structures and some are deep pits. However, this is the first time he has encountered such constant ups and downs under the speedboat. It can be said that the seabed structure is like hills.

When Zhao Dahai saw this place, he marked the coordinates without hesitation, and when he started fishing tonight, this was the first place he fished.

It was normal for Zhong Shizhu to have such concerns. Generally, most people who go fishing at sea would not choose such a place. Zhao Dahai did not say much. He would know what was going on if he tried to fish for fish.

"Let the line out to 160 to 162 meters, and then let it out directly to hit the bottom."

Zhao Dahai saw that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were ready, and shouted loudly to start fishing immediately.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou have been fishing for such a long time and have accumulated rich experience. The seabed is not a reef, so they can let out the line without worry. When they let out the line to 162 meters, they hit the bottom one after another.

One o'clock.

The sea was pitch black.

Zhao Dahai frowned and looked at the fish finder's screen, puzzled.

"What's going on? How is it possible that there are no fish biting?"

Zhao Dahai shook his head. He, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and four others had been fishing at this spot for almost an hour. They changed many places but there was no bite, let alone catching any fish.

"What's going on? Could it be that the fish here won't bite their tongues anymore?"

Zhao Dahai patted his forehead.

There is no way there are no fish in a place like this. We have been fishing for such a long time, and there are four of us fishing together, but no fish have taken a bite. It is very likely that the fish will not bite tonight.

Is it really like this?
Zhao Dahai shook his head and overturned his own guess. It was not daytime now, but night, which was generally the best time for groupers to come out to look for food. There was no reason why there was not a single fish.

There is no way there is no fish!
If the fish does not bite the hook, it is very likely that it does not open its mouth, but the more likely possibility is that something is not done well.

What exactly went wrong?
Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry to continue fishing, nor did he change the fishing spot. He carefully thought about what had happened and why he couldn't catch any fish.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and He Lei were looking at what was in front of them. It had been more than an hour and they hadn't caught a single fish. This situation was not common.

"What's going on? There can't be no fish in here, right?"

Zhong Shizhu looked at Zhao Dahai, then looked at the sea surface under the light. It was impossible for there to be fish in every place on the artificial island reef, but even if there were no fish in the place chosen by Zhao Dahai, there should be at least a few. It took so much time but no fish was caught. It was really wrong and abnormal.

"Zhao Dahai is now trying to figure out what happened and whether there is any way to catch the fish here."

"We just have to wait!"

Liu Bin pointed at Zhao Dahai. In the current situation, they really had no idea what to do. They could only see if Zhao Dahai could find out what the problem was and come up with a solution.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all knew very well that in the current situation, only Zhao Dahai could think of a solution. If he could think of a solution, he would be able to catch fish, but if he couldn't, he wouldn't be able to catch fish.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou took the time to smoke, drink water and rest.

"Is there really no fish or are the fish unwilling to bite their tongues?"

……

"It's impossible for a place like this not to have fish."

……

"If they don't open their mouths, then we can only come back here to fish at another time?"

……

Zhao Dahai kept muttering to himself.

With his rich fishing experience, he can be 100% sure that there cannot be no rain in the area under the speedboat at this time, and not only cannot there be no fish, but there should be quite a few fish.

The four people didn't catch any fish in more than an hour, and there was only one reason: the fish didn't bite.

There are two possibilities for why a fish does not open its mouth. One possibility is that it really does not want to eat. In this case, even the Lord can do nothing.

"correct!"

"How come you didn't think of such a simple thing?"

Zhao Dahai suddenly had an idea, slapped his forehead hard, and shouted loudly.

"Yo!"

"Have you figured out what happened?"

……

"quick!"

"Let's hurry up and see if we can catch any fish!"

……

"what!"

"I knew that you, Zhao Dahai, would be able to come up with a solution!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were shocked, but very happy. Zhao Dahai had thought of a way. They could catch grouper in the sea and make a lot of money.

"what!"

"I don't know if I can catch any fish now. I have to give it a try."

Zhao Dahai did not keep them in suspense and told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that he had thought of a solution. If they couldn't catch octopus, they could try crabs or live shrimps to see which one worked. It was really very simple, but they had been fishing with octopus and had caught a lot of them, so they forgot to try changing the bait.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were a little amused. What Zhao Dahai said was indeed as simple as it could be. If the octopus could not be caught, just change the bait. However, they were just stuck in a dead end and could not remember this matter.

"Change!"

"Let's try it with live shrimp now!"

"Look what's going on!"

"If you can't catch any, try crabs!"

"There can't be no fish in this place!"

"It's night time now, it's impossible for him not to open his mouth. The most likely possibility is that the grouper here doesn't want to eat octopus tonight!"

Zhao Dahai waved his hand and immediately changed the bait.
