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

Chapter 997 Another big deal!
"Uncle Shi!"

"If there are fish in this kind of tide and current, they will be big ones!"

"Caution is the boat."

"Besides, our speedboat is in the tide and water. As long as there is a fish bite, it will be very close to the speedboat. We can pull it out by hand. This way we can catch more fish."

Zhao Dahai prepared his own rod. Most people who fish for sea bass would not use such a thick line even if they encountered a sea bass weighing 20 or 30 kilograms, let alone a steel wire guide. However, he and Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and others not only had to catch fish but also had to catch as many fish as possible in the shortest time. In this case, as soon as a fish was hooked, it had to be quickly pulled onto the speedboat. It would not work without such a thick line and a steel wire guide.

Zhao Dahai hung up the live shrimps and drove the speedboat directly into the tidal water, not against the current but with the current. However, the engine of the speedboat was always running, and the speed of the speedboat must not be too fast as it goes downstream.

"Put down the rod!"

"Uncle Shizhu, you fish in a water depth of one meter."

……

"Uncle Dayou!"

“You fish in two meters of water.”

……

"Uncle Liu!"

“You fish in three meters of water.”

……

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly. He didn't know whether there were any fish in the tidal water, nor did he know in which water layer the fish were. Now he could only try to see if he could find the fish and see at what depth of water layer the fish were. Only when he found the water layer where the fish were, would he be able to catch more fish faster.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had already made preparations. They hung the live shrimps and released them into the sea along the side of the speedboat.

When Shi Guangming saw Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou start fishing, he suddenly became a little nervous. He didn't even bother to smoke the hookah in his hand and just stared with wide eyes.

Zhao Dahai put the speedboat in five meters of water at once. He was not in a hurry. He controlled the speedboat very patiently and let it drift slowly down along with the tide.

The speedboat drifted forward about 20 meters, but no fish took the bait. Zhao Dahai reeled in the line and started fishing at a depth of 4.5 meters. After waiting for a while, there was still no bite. He looked up at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, and saw that no fish had taken the bait. He reminded them to reel in the half-meter line.

Zhao Dahai continued to reel the line upwards until it reached four meters.

"coming!"

Zhao Dahai had just reeled in four meters of line and had no time to catch his breath when he immediately felt a fierce bite. He raised his hand with great force and lifted the rod to stab the fish.

"Come!"

"I'll drive you a speedboat!"

Zhao Shi put down the hookah in his hand and walked to Zhao Dahai. He was looking for fish just now but he didn't have the ability to drive the speedboat. Now he found the sea and the fish and a fish was hooked. Next he had to concentrate on fishing and drive the speedboat himself.

Zhao Dahai nodded, handed the speedboat to Zhao Shi, and immediately turned the spinning wheel to reel in the fish.

"big!"

"Twenty pounds!"

"Four meters!"

“The fish are in four meters of water!”

Zhao Dahai loudly reminded Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to fish in the water depth of four meters immediately.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou immediately let out the line to a water depth of four meters.

"middle!"

……

"big!"

"Twenty pounds is not enough!"

……

"what!"

"This fish is really in four meters of water."

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had just let out the line to a water depth of about four meters when a fish took the bait. They were very excited.

Shi Guangming was a little stunned and couldn't believe his eyes. In just a short while, Zhao Dahai found the school of fish and caught some fish. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da caught fish one after another, and they were all big sea bass weighing 20 to 30 kilograms.

This is how the same thing?

Didn’t they say there are no fish in the sea recently?
Shi Guangming shook his head. He really didn't know whether Zhao Dahai's skills were better than others, or his luck was better than others, or both.

Zhao Shi carefully controlled the speedboat, trying to keep it still as much as possible to make it easier for Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to reel in the fish.

Zhao Dahai pulled the fish out of the water and came to the side of the speedboat. He held the fishing rod with both hands and lifted it up with force. The sea bass flew directly onto the deck.

"What are you doing?"

"Have you forgotten about the big fishing boats? We still have to keep the sea bass we catch alive as much as possible."

Zhao Shi saw the sea bass that Zhao Dahai had thrown onto the speedboat hit the deck and roared. A fish this big would definitely die if it was hit like that. Even if it didn't die immediately, it certainly couldn't be kept alive, especially for a long time.

Zhao Dahai remembered this matter only now, and hurriedly reminded Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayi loudly to use the scoop net to catch the fish, and not to fly directly onto the deck. He had forgotten about this matter just now, and just thought that this way he could pull the fish onto the deck faster and catch more fish.

"what!"

“We haven’t forgotten this.”

……

"Who told you, Zhao Dahai, that you're faster?"

"Even if we have forgotten about this, don't we already know about it now?"

……

"If you raise one of these big sea bass, you can sell it at the dock for a lot of money, comparable to a small blue spot weighing about four or five pounds."

"You can't let it fly onto the deck and get smashed to death."

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were talking as they reeled in the fish and returned to the speedboat.

Zhao Dahai was a little confused. But this was the truth. Even if Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had forgotten about this, they would immediately remember that they must not do this after being scolded by him.

Zhao Dahai took off the hook hanging on the corner of the sea bass's mouth. There was no need to check it as there would be no problem with the wire leader. He hung a live shrimp on it again and put it back into the sea, directly to four meters.

Shi Guangming had already prepared a scoop net and was waiting nearby. He scooped up the fish caught by Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou one by one and brought them onto the deck.

"middle!"

"Fish school!" "There is a large school of fish in the stream."

"Hurry up."

Zhao Dahai shook the rod up and down twice, and immediately a fish took the bait.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou suddenly sped up their movements, used pliers to remove the hook, pushed the sea bass, slid it into the live water tank, immediately hung live shrimps on it, and started fishing again.

"middle!"

……

"here we go again!"

……

“It’s really a big school of fish!”

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all raised their rods and stabbed the fish.

Shi Guangming was really stunned. This was the second time that Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had caught fish together. There were more than just fish in the sea. It was really a big school of fish as Zhao Dahai had just said.

Twenty or thirty kilograms of large sea bass?

Big school of fish?
Doesn't this mean that he will really make a fortune again?

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou sat on the deck, drinking water and breathing heavily. They had just been fishing for sea bass for almost three hours in a row, one after another, without any rest, and were really tired.

"Ugh!"

"This fishing is really much more tiring than catching fish!"

Zhong Shizhu lit a cigarette, took a puff and shook his head.

"Isn't it true?"

"When we put out the fishing net to catch fish, it doesn't matter if we pull the net earlier or later, faster or slower, but we can't stop fishing. We have to concentrate and keep reeling in the fish."

Liu Bin nodded immediately. This was absolutely true. Fishing was indeed much more tiring than setting a net to catch fish.

"Humph!"

"You are so tired only because you followed Zhao Dahai out to sea to fish. If you followed someone else's speedboat to fish, or if you went out to sea to fish by yourself, you wouldn't be so tired."

Shi Guangming shook his hands. Just now, he could not bear to fish for Zhao Dahai and the others. In the beginning, he had to take over from Zhao Shi every half an hour. Later, it was just Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da who had to fish and fish by themselves. There was no other way. Both of them were old and did not have the strength to do that. Four people were fishing, and they caught a fish here and there. They did not even have time to catch a breath. It was really unbearable.

"Correct!"

"Other people's speedboats definitely can't be like this. Only Zhao Dahai's speedboat would be so tired."

"Let alone a speedboat, even if it's a large sea fishing boat, when will it stop if we follow Zhao Dahai out to sea to fish?"

Lei Dayou stood up and looked down at the live water tank of the speedboat. It was full of big sea bass weighing 20 to 30 kilograms. It was indeed very tiring, but the harvest was very good.

"Zhao Dahai."

"The sea bass we caught in the past few hours are really good. They are all big. And there are not many fish in the sea right now. The price of these sea bass can be sold at a very high price. It is really comparable to some smaller blue spot fish."

“Who would have thought that so many fish could be caught in this place.”

Lei Dayou took out a scoop net and scooped up a fish onto the deck. He took a closer look and found that it was not only very big, but also very fat. This kind of fish is very popular.

"If the situation of few fish in the sea continues for a few more days, the price of fish will become even higher, especially for live fish of this size."

Shi Guangming estimated that Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da and a few others had caught no less than 3,000 kilograms of sea bass in about three hours, and maybe even more.

"We were really lucky this time. I don't know how this tide came about, but it just happened. We happened to come here, saw the tide, and caught this wave of fish."

Zhao Dahai looked at the live water tank full of fish. He had originally planned to go to the artificial islands and reefs, but now seeing the situation, he had to go to the foam area of ​​the islands and reefs. All the fish had to be transferred to Ding Dawen's fishing boat. Don't wait until you reach the artificial islands and reefs, in case you catch a lot of fish and have no place to put them.

Zhao Dahai drove a speedboat back to the artificial island.

The sun was blazing.

The shirts of Xu Dachui, Xu Xiaochui and Song Tianping were all soaked with sweat. Each of them had a cigarette in his mouth, but none of them lit it. They looked anxious, angry and helpless.

"Ugh!"

"There are no fish in the sea. There's no point in us staying here any longer. Why don't we just go back?"

Song Tianping looked down at the water plants at his feet. There were only two fish, and they were not big, about five pounds. It was already late, almost noon, and the tide could still last for about an hour. He had only caught two fish from this morning until now. If he continued to endure, he would only be able to catch one or two more fish. It wouldn't make much sense.

"What can we do if we go back now? Since we have already come out and burned so much gas, we can only wait here and see if we can catch one or two more fish."

"The price of fish is relatively high now. If you can catch one or two more fish, you can earn an extra 100 or 200 yuan."

"Who knows, maybe the gas and meal money for today's trip has already been paid?"

Xu Xiaochui was very depressed. Song Tianping only caught two fish, which was a little more than his elder brother, but not much more, only six fish in total. Song Tianping didn't make any money, and neither did his two brothers. But there was nothing else to do at this time, so he might as well stay here for another hour or two to see if he could try his luck and catch one or two fish.

"Ugh!"

"If we had known this would happen, we should have followed Zhao Dahai's example and left here to go fishing somewhere else. We might have caught more fish."

"Even a fishing expert like Zhao Dahai thinks that there is no point in fishing here today. What's the point of us staying here?"

Xu Xiaochui regretted it very much. He should have known what was going on when he saw Zhao Dahai leaving here in the morning. Unfortunately, he discussed with his elder brother and Song Tianping for a long time and hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to stay and continue fishing for sea bass in this place.

"Xu Xiaochui."

"It's not that your words are completely unreasonable, but they really don't make much sense. Who knew it would be like this? Or even if we really go fishing somewhere else, how can we guarantee that we will catch fish?"

Song Tianping took out a lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth, then took a deep puff. Does Xu Xiaochui's words make sense? Of course it makes sense. It is possible to catch more fish by changing to another place, but no one dares to guarantee this. To be honest, for people like me, it is not a wise choice to follow Zhao Dahai's example and leave the island reef foam area in the morning to go fishing somewhere else.

"All right!"

“It’s really hard to say.”

"Brother, should we stay here for another hour or two, or what?"

At first, Xu Xiaochui thought that he could continue fishing here for an hour or two. It didn't matter if he could catch any fish. He would just go back to sleep anyway and there was nothing else to do. However, after chatting with Song Tianping for a while, he suddenly no longer had any worries.

"what?"

"Big brother."

"What happened?"

After Xu Xiaochui asked the question, there was no answer from Xu Dachui for a long time. When he turned around, he saw Xu Dachui looking straight ahead with a look of shock on his face.
