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

Chapter 999 Scanned Over and Over Again

"what?"

"Could it be that the number of fish on the artificial islands and reefs has suddenly become so small?"

Shi Guangming was shocked. Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish here at the end of last year, and he also caught a lot of fish this year. But now, what Dahai said seemed to mean that the fish here were getting less and less, and they were decreasing rapidly. He had to find another fishing spot.

"Grandpa Shi!"

"The structure of the seabed around the artificial islands and reefs is very complex and covers a large area. There are many fish here and it will take more than a year to catch them all."

“Not to mention a year or two, even if it’s three years or ten years, it’s impossible to catch all the fish here.”

"The biggest problem is that there are more and more speedboats here. My fishing here with Uncle Shizhu and others will be greatly affected. In many cases, it's not that there are no fish, but the spots we know are relatively easy to catch fish."

"We can't fish if there's other topics around."

"It is absolutely impossible for us to fish at the spots we know during the day. We can only fish where there are other speedboats fishing."

Zhao Dahai had no choice. Last year, there were very few speedboats here, so he could fish however and wherever he wanted. But now, there are more and more speedboats here, and he cannot reveal the fishing spots he found last year and during this period. This forces him to stop fishing during the day and he can only wait until night. However, as time goes by, the number of speedboats on the artificial islands and reefs is increasing not only during the day, but also at night. The fishing of himself and Zhong Shizhu and others in this place will be affected more and more.

"There's no way to solve this problem, right?"

Shi Guangming looked at Zhao Dahai. No one could stop these speedboats from appearing here.

"what!"

"Grandpa Shi!"

"I'm just saying that fishing in this place is getting harder and harder. I'm not saying that you can't catch fish here. For example, there are a lot of speedboats fishing at the Windmill Foot fishing spot. But aren't the ones that catch the most fish in every trip mine?"

"But we must definitely come up with some solutions to deal with the situation where there are more and more speedboats."

"It's actually very simple. The more spots you know, the more flexible you will be when fishing. If you don't want to fish in this place, go to another place. If there is a speedboat in a place, go to another place immediately."

"It's not easy to catch fish in the sea these days, so I just scanned a lot of spots. The main purpose is not to find the big trench. It would be best if I can find it, but if I can't find it, I don't need to worry about it. I scanned a lot of spots in the process of searching."

Zhao Dahai was on the side of the river, while Shi Guangming was talking, staring at the speedboats around with wide eyes.

"So many speedboats coming here to fish is not only bad for us, but also beneficial in many cases, and the benefits are very big."

Zhao Dahai saw a speedboat fishing two or three hundred meters away, and both rods on the fishing boat had caught fish. Without thinking, he drove the speedboat over immediately.

"what!"

"Yo!"

“This speedboat has caught a fish!”

……

"From the looks of it, this place is a good spot!"

……

"How can we miss such a good opportunity? We have to go over and take a look!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou suddenly became excited.

Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi have rich experience in going out to sea. As soon as they saw Zhao Dahai, especially Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had already started preparing the rods, they knew what was going on.

Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi couldn't help but smile.

Just as Zhao Dahai said, the increasing number of speedboats on the artificial islands and reefs is not necessarily a bad thing. At least one very good thing is that there are more and more speedboats here, and the more people come here to fish, the more speedboats there will be and the more people will explore various spots where fish can be caught. As long as you see a lot of speedboats going to a place, as long as you see a place with speedboats and people catching fish, this is a good spot, at least it is a spot where you can fish.

"what!"

"The people on that speedboat will be furious if they see you guys passing by!"

Shi Guangming took a deep puff of the water pipe and exhaled a thick mist. He looked at the speedboat that had caught two fish which was getting closer and closer. It didn't matter whether Zhao Dahai could catch fish or not if he went there now. He just had to mark the spots. This was the advantage of having more and more speedboats here. He didn't have to scan every spot himself.

"Who told these people to fish here and catch fish, especially when we can see them?"

"You can't just pretend you don't see it, can you?"

As Liu Bin spoke, he continued to arrange the rods. One was the rod mounted on the gun mount, and the other was a handheld rod. He would see what kind of rod Zhao Dahai called him, Zhong Shizhu and Lei Da to use, and then he could start fishing immediately.

"what!"

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

"That's exactly what I mean! When we see someone else's speedboat catching fish, we can't really pretend not to see it."

"If other speedboats see our speedboat fishing and pretend not to see it, we can also pretend not to see other speedboats catching fish!"

As Zhong Shizhu spoke, he checked the live things in the live water tank, especially the octopus, crabs and live shrimps, to see if they were all prepared and placed in easy-to-reach places.

Whether you are fishing in the open sea or deep sea fishing and see others hurrying by or seeing others' sea fishing boats catching fish, the vast majority, even 100%, of people will squeeze over.

This does seem a bit unkind, but it is something that everyone in the fishing community does, so there is nothing wrong with it.

If you don't do it, others will do it. As a result, everyone does it. There is nothing much to say. As long as the speedboat controls the distance and doesn't get too close, this is the default industry rule.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat and slowly approached the speedboat that failed to catch any fish. He stopped when the distance was about 20 meters.

Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry to fish. He looked at the fish finder screen while watching the speedboat not far away. After waiting for five or six minutes, two fish were pulled out of the water. One was a blue spot weighing more than ten pounds, and the other was an oil spot weighing about twenty pounds.

"what?"

"Zhao Dahai."

"Aren't we fishing now?"

Lei Dayou was a little anxious.

"Hehehe!"

"What's the hurry?"

"This little time difference really doesn't make much of a difference!" "One reason is that we need to take a good look at the structure of the seabed at this point. Another reason is that it's already afternoon and it won't be long before it gets dark."

Zhao Dahai shook his head. He really had no plan to start fishing right away.

I am different from the people around me. I will not go back tonight, but will keep fishing on the artificial island reef. Night is the golden time for fishing.

Sharpening your knife will never stop you from chopping wood!
The most important thing now is to drive the speedboat, scan the structure of the seabed around this place, and study clearly what is going on. Then we can start fishing formally at night. At that time, we will do it in one go, and as long as we can catch fish, we will fish until dawn.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou thought that this was really the case and there was no need to rush for one or two hours.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat, circling around the speedboat that had caught the fish not far away, staring carefully at the screen of the fishing scout. It took more than an hour for him to basically understand the structure of the entire seabed.

As night fell, the entire sea surface suddenly fell into darkness.

Most of the speedboats have left, and only a few remain.

Zhao Dahai looked at the lights on the sea, some far and some near. These were all speedboats that stayed here to fish.

Zhao Dahai shook his head.

When I went fishing here at the end of last year, I basically didn't see any speedboats for fishing.

When I started fishing here this year, I found that there were more and more speedboats fishing, but most of them only fished here during the day.

Now, speedboats for fishing at night have started to appear here. Although there are not many now, they will increase in a short time.

Could it be that the fish at Fengchejiao or other places are so scarce and difficult to catch? Are people desperately trying to come here?

Zhao Dahai sighed softly. The more speedboats came here to fish, the fewer fish were caught in other places.

"It is said that large sea bass are not very tasty, especially the meat is coarse, but this fish head is used to make fish soup, which is amazing!"

Zhong Shizhu was washing food while holding a large iron pot. He started cooking at around five o'clock in the afternoon. Now everything is ready. It is very simple. One reason is that two chickens had been prepared before going out to sea. They were cut into pieces with a knife without heating. The other reason is that he took one of the sea bass caught during the day and threw the fish meat back into the refrigerator to cook porridge in the early morning or tomorrow morning. He killed the fish head and made soup. The head of twenty to thirty kilograms of sea bass was boiled for half an hour. It was thick and white. A little salt and some ginger slices were added. The smell made people drool.

Lei Dayou brought another big pot containing cooked rice.

Liu Bin took a large bowl filled with chopped chicken.

Zhao Dahai called out to everyone and squatted on the deck of the speedboat to eat. Going out to sea to fish requires work, so there is no need to be too particular. The big fish and meat are enough to fill you up, but no alcohol is allowed.

"How can soup made from the head of a 20-30 kg sea bass taste bad?"

Shi Guangming didn't have time to eat, he filled a bowl of soup first and drank half of it. It was fresh and sweet, very delicious, and he almost swallowed his tongue into his stomach. People who grew up by the sea, especially those like him who have been out to sea all their lives, like this kind of fresh fish soup the most.

Zhao Shi was exactly the same as Shi Guangming. They finished a bowl of fish soup before starting to eat. As he was old, he couldn't eat much. After finishing a bowl of rice, he ate two pieces of chicken and then filled another bowl of fish soup and drank it in small sips.

"Zhao Dahai."

"We have almost finished sweeping the seabed at this point, right? After dinner, we can start fishing, right?"

Zhong Shizhu picked up a big piece of chicken and gnawed on it while looking at Zhao Dahai.

When he arrived here in the afternoon, he saw a speedboat catching fish, but Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry to fish immediately. He kept looking around. During this time, the speedboat caught three more fish. The size of the fish got bigger and bigger. The last one caught was a big blue spot weighing almost 80 kilograms.

If the speedboat was not too small and we could not stay here overnight, we might have continued fishing. In this case, no one could predict how many fish we could have caught.

"what!"

"Uncle Shizhu."

"I see you're really eager to go fishing now!"

Zhao Dahai glanced at Zhong Shizhu who was eating voraciously. It was not just that he was hungry. The most important thing was that he was very anxious to finish his meal and start fishing.

"Hey!"

“It’s really hard to watch other people’s speedboats catch fish all the time and watch other people make a lot of money!”

Liu Bin was talking while quickly putting rice into his mouth. Zhao Dahai had been scanning the terrain of the seabed the whole afternoon. He, Zhong Shizhu, Lei Da and a few others were watching others fishing to make money. They really wanted to start fishing right away.

"Hurry up and finish your meal and start fishing!"

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"Now that we have figured out the topography of the seabed, we should start fishing right after dinner, right?"

Lei Dayou stared at Zhao Dahai with wide eyes, fearing that Zhao Dahai would have other ideas and he would not be able to start fishing immediately.

"fishing!"

"After we finish eating, we will take a half-hour break and start fishing right away. Don't just say you guys want to go fishing right away, I want to go fishing right away too. Who doesn't want to catch fish and make money?"

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded vigorously. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were all waiting to go fishing. They would definitely not be able to bear it if he said he didn't want to go fishing.

"Have you figured out the topography of the point?"

Zhao Shi put down the bowl of soup in his hand, wiped his mouth, lit the hookah and took two puffs.

"Correct!"

“It’s all clear now!”

"If nothing unexpected happens, we will definitely be able to catch a lot of fish here tonight!"

Zhao Dahai ate much faster than Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou. He was full now. He drank the soup in big gulps and looked at the sea around the speedboat while talking.

"what?"

"Why do you say that?"

Zhong Shizhu pricked up his ears immediately. He and Zhao Dahai had gone out to sea to fish quite a lot recently, but they had not caught many fish because there were not many fish in the sea. What he did not expect was that Zhao Dahai said that he could catch a lot of fish tonight. This was really beyond his expectations.

Lei Dayou, Liu Bin, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming all stared at Zhao Dahai with wide eyes. They had never expected Zhao Dahai to say such a thing.
