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

Chapter 1018 Pulling Down the Face

"never mind!"

"There's really no point in telling you this!"

"How could you not want to know right away if there will be a large school of sea bass or other fish here tonight?"

Shi Guangming shook his head.

"Who wouldn't want to know if there will be a large school of sea bass here tonight? But isn't it impossible now? It's not even dark yet!"

"If you have the guts, wait till it gets dark and take a look!"

Zhao Shi pointed to the sky.

Ding Dawen couldn't help laughing. Shi Guangming simply couldn't possibly have such a skill.

Shi Guangming had nothing to say.

Artificial islands and reefs.

Zhao Dahai was driving a speedboat, slowed down and looked at the surrounding sea. Seven or eight speedboats were fishing.

Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry to fish. He chatted with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, drank water, and watched the speedboats fishing around him.

“Can you catch fish without a speedboat?”

……

"It looks like there are still relatively few fish in the sea, or maybe they really won't open their mouths right now!"

……

"We won't be able to catch any fish here like this!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou watched for nearly half an hour, but none of the seven or eight speedboats around them, near or far, caught any fish.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were a little depressed.

More speedboats are fishing in this place, but none of them are catching any fish. This is definitely not a good thing. There must be fish on the seabed in this artificial island reef area. This situation is not just a technical problem. The more likely case is that there are fish but they are not biting.

Even if Zhao Dahai could really find a way to catch such a fish, it would be very difficult.

"what!"

"Are we destined to go back and fish for sea bass tonight?"

Zhao Dahai found it a bit funny.

If there are no fish caught in so many speedboats here now, it will be difficult to catch fish here by yourself after waiting for dark.

When I was on the fishing boat, I was still wondering what kind of fish I wanted tonight.

In this situation, I don’t seem to have many choices.

"What can we do? If there are really no fish or the fish won't bite, we can go back and fish for sea bass."

"Uncle Zhao is right. We go out to sea to fish. As long as we can catch fish, we can make money. It doesn't really matter what kind of fish we catch."

While talking, Zhong Shizhu continued to stare at the speedboats around him. After a long while, no one caught any fish.

The sun began to set in the west.

The light on the sea began to dim.

Zhao Dahai shook his head. He watched for almost an hour, but no one on the seven or eight speedboats around him could catch any fish.

Zhao Dahai couldn't help but recall the scene of him and Zhong Shizhu and a few others fishing in the ditch last night.

The fishing was going very well in the beginning, but after 3am, the fish stopped biting and I could only catch them briefly.

Doesn't that mean the fish stopped biting from that time on?

Zhao Dahai was not worried that the fish would not open their mouths today, but he was worried that the fish on the artificial islands and reefs had not opened their mouths much since last night until now.

There must be a reason why the fish doesn't bite, but no one knows what the reason is. The only thing that is clear is that once the fish doesn't bite, it becomes a very troublesome thing.

Zhao Dahai originally wanted to go to another spot to have a look but now he changed his mind. He decided to wait until it gets dark and try to see if he could catch any fish. If he could, he would continue fishing. If not, he would go back to the fishing boat to see if any school of sea bass appeared.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all nodded and decided to see if they could catch any fish here. If they could, there was nothing to say, they would just fish here, if not, they would go back to the big fishing boat.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were very relaxed and chatting on the speedboat, waiting for dark to try again to see if they could catch any fish here.

"Big brother!"

"We have to go back now, otherwise it will be too late. Our speedboat is relatively small, so we can't stay here overnight. It's a bit difficult to travel at night."

Wu Xiaobin looked at his elder brother Wu Dabin, then at Song Tianping and Cao Hong who were fishing at the two spots on the left and right in front of the speedboat. After a few days' discussion, they decided to take a speedboat to the artificial island to try their luck. However, they were exhausted after a day's work and didn't catch any fish.

"let's go!"

"There's no point in continuing to fish. If there were fish, we would have caught them long ago. If there are no fish, it will be useless even if we fish for ten years."

Song Tianping sighed deeply and slapped his forehead hard. Today, he, Wu Dabing, Wu Xiaobin and Cao Hong came out to the artificial island to fish. There were many speedboats fishing, but few of them, including himself, caught any fish.

"It's so hard to make money! We should just stay in the island reef foam area and fish for sea bass. We can earn as much as we can. No matter what, we will definitely not lose money. There is no need to spend money."

Cao Hong put away his fishing rod as he spoke. Regardless of whether there were fish or not, it was almost dark now and he had to leave if he didn't want to. It would be very unsafe if he left too late as the artificial island was quite far from the shore.

"Dry!"

“Places like artificial islands and reefs are really too expensive!”

"It will take us longer and burn more gasoline. Another thing is that it will be very late when we get home now, and we may miss the tide for sea bass fishing tomorrow."

Wu Dabin now regrets very much that he should not have come to the artificial island to fish.

"What's the point of talking about this now? One, we've already come whether we want to come or not, and the other is that if we don't come, we will definitely not give up."

Song Tianping was very depressed, but he knew that he and his people had to come here, otherwise they would never give up.

Wu Dabin said nothing more. He waited until all the rods were collected, packed up, and drove the speedboat back.

Wu Dabin drove the speedboat for only five or six minutes before he suddenly slowed down.

Wu Xiaobin, Cao Hong and Song Tianping were all stunned, wondering what was wrong with Wu Dabing.

Wu Dabin didn't say anything, but pointed to the front of the speedboat. "Isn't this the speedboat that Zhao Dahai was on?"

……

"Correct!"

"On the sea surface surrounding Zhao Dahai's speedboat, there is no other speedboat like this one!"

……

"We are not at fault at all. We came to the artificial island to fish because of what happened in the sea!"

……

Wu Xiaobin, Cao Hong and Song Tianping looked forward and saw Zhao Dahai's huge speedboat parked on the sea, which could be seen clearly from a distance.

"Wu Dabin!"

"Why don't we go over and ask? Let's see if Zhao Dahai can catch any fish in this place!"

Cao Hong hesitated for a moment and said he would go over and say hello to Zhao Dahai.

"Humph!"

"What's the use of them going there? Can Zhao Dahai tell us where there are fish?"

Wu Xiaobin shook his head directly.

"Whether to tell or not is Zhao Dahai's business, and whether to ask or not is our business. Anyway, we can't catch any fish here, so why ask? Even if Zhao Dahai doesn't tell us, it's just a loss of face!"

"There's no loss, and it won't cost you a dime. What's the big deal?"

Song Tianping gritted his teeth. He felt that what Cao Hong said was right. He could go over and say hello to Zhao Dahai to inquire about the situation. Even if he didn't ask where there were fish, he could ask if there was any fish to be caught here recently.

Wu Dabin thought about it and didn't say anything, but he was driving the speedboat. Now that Zhao Dahai was driving over, Wu Xiaobin just felt embarrassed, but Song Tianping and Cao Hong were right, they couldn't catch any fish and couldn't make any money, so what was the point of being shameless? As for the island and reef bubble area, they didn't talk to Zhao Dahai, but now they were not in the island and reef bubble area, but on the artificial island and reef.

"what?"

"Isn't this the speedboat that Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin were on?"

Liu Bin changed direction and saw a speedboat approaching not far ahead.

Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou looked forward and saw that it was indeed the speedboat of the two brothers Wu Dabin and Wu Xiaobin. Recently, Zhao Dahai had been leading them to catch a lot of sea bass in the foam area of ​​the island reefs. They met often and were very familiar with each other.

"Yo!"

"Why did these two brothers come here to fish?"

……

"I wonder if they caught any fish. They're heading towards us. What are they trying to do?"

……

Lei Dayou and Zhong Shizhu were very strange.

Wu Dabin, Wu Xiaobin and their speedboat appeared here. They must be here to fish, but no one knows why it was driving towards them.

"Captain Zhao."

"Did you just get here?"

Wu Dabin drove a speedboat and stopped two or three meters away from Zhao Dahai. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and took the initiative to say hello. People who go out to sea to fish may often have competition, but when they go farther away, especially on the sea, unless there is a life-and-death feud, they will say hello when they meet. Sometimes, if someone breaks down the fishing boat, they will lend a hand even if there is a life-and-death feud. He and Zhao Dahai are just competing when fishing in the island reef foam area. It's not a big deal. As long as you put down your face and say something, it's nothing.

"We have been here for about two hours. There are many speedboats fishing here, but few of them can catch fish. You must have been here a long time ago. How was your fishing?"

Zhao Dahai waved his hand and pointed at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou. He himself did not smoke, but Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou did.

Wu Dabin handed out cigarettes and told Zhao Dahai with a wry smile that he had come here early in the morning but did not catch any fish, not even a single one.

"Captain Zhao."

"Are there fish on this artificial island or reef? I heard that many people who go fishing offshore have come here recently."

Cao Hong knew that it was impossible to directly ask Zhao Dahai where he could catch fish in this place. No one would tell him such a thing, so he simply asked whether there were any fish in this artificial island reef.

"There are definitely fish here, and there are a lot of them, but it's hard to say whether you can catch them. The main reason is that the structure of the seabed here is different from that of ordinary natural reefs. In short, it is more bottom-dwelling, and not many people come here to fish. I mean, not many people came here to fish in the past."

"If there are fewer people fishing here, there will be very few people who know the seabed structure here. It is very difficult or even impossible to learn from others what kind of places have fish, where there are no fish, and where it is easy to get stuck. You can only slowly explore on your own."

"People who go fishing offshore know that there is no good way to figure out the seabed structure of a place. You can only work at it one by one. But it is very easy to get stuck if you work at it one by one. Once you get stuck, you will lose 100 or 80 yuan. At the end of the day, you really don't know whether you can catch any fish or make any money."

Zhao Dahai did not hide anything and told Cao Hong and Wu Dabing that there were fish here, and there were a lot of fish, but the structure here was very complicated and it was very difficult to catch fish.

"Captain Zhao!"

"You mean to say that although there are fish in this place, and there are a lot of them, the difficulty of fishing is very high, even higher than places like the Windmill Foot fishing spot?"

Song Tianping frowned, this was what he heard from Zhao Dahai.

"Yes."

"That's the thing. There are real fish here, and places like artificial islands and reefs, especially for many years, not many people come here to fish. There are not only fish here, but the fish are also big, but it is really difficult to catch them. The Fengchejiao fishing spot is completely different from here. Many people who have caught fish at the Fengchejiao fishing spot have to catch them here."

Zhao Dahai has been fishing here since the end of last year. It can be said that no one knows this place better than himself. Fishing at Fengchejiao fishing spot is quite difficult, but it depends on where you compare it with. If compared with places like the island and reef foam area or other fishing spots, it is indeed not easy, but once compared with the artificial island and reef, the difference is not a little bit.

"Captain Wu."

"It's not impossible for you to come here to fish, but as I just said, it will take a longer time and even cost more to understand the results here and have a chance to catch such fish. Otherwise, almost everyone who goes to the sea will get stuck."

"correct!"

"It's getting late now. Your speedboat is relatively small. You have to hurry back. Otherwise, the road will not be safe."

Zhao Dahai pointed to the sun that was about to sink into the sea, and reminded Wu Dabin that he had to hurry back.

"Row!"

"Captain Zhao."

"Thank you."

"I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."

Wu Dabin looked at the time and knew that he really had to hurry back, otherwise the road would be unsafe. Zhao Dahai would definitely not tell him more details, such as where he could catch the first fish. Without further ado, he drove the speedboat away from the artificial island and hurried back.
