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

Chapter 1021 Fish Lure Technique

"The fishing boats come here to catch sea bass, but it's really not much right now."

Zhao Dahai has been watching Ding Dawen, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da fishing. What Zhao Shi said is right, there are really not many fish here.

"Second Grandpa!"

"Didn't I just say that? We can shine the lights of the fishing boats on the place where the water flows, and even make some nests there. Maybe it can attract more small fish. With small fish, there will be big fish, and there may be a school of large sea bass."

Zhao Dahai pointed in the direction of the bow of the fishing boat. He had just said that if they only relied on the small schools of fish beside the big fishing boat, it would definitely not be able to attract too many sea bass.

"Why? If it's a light, if it's bait, why not just put it next to the fishing boat? Wouldn't it be more convenient for fishing that way?"

Shi Guangming couldn't understand why Zhao Dahai had to place the bait near the flowing water, and why he had to go to so much trouble to find a position where the light could illuminate the flowing water more than ten meters away.

There are lights on the deck of the fishing net, which makes the sea surface very bright. It has attracted some small schools of fish to gather and there are even sea bass. If you want to bait, you can just throw it directly on the sea surface next to the fishing boat.

Zhao Dahai shook his head. It was indeed more convenient to fish near the side of the fishing boat, but even if there were fish, there wouldn't be too many.

"Sea bass is a fish that likes flowing water very much. As long as there is flowing water, it is easy for schools of sea bass to gather."

"There are indeed lights next to the fishing boats, and some small fish have gathered there, but there is no flowing water here, so it is almost impossible to gather a lot of sea bass."

"Not to mention sea bass, even small schools of fish may not be able to gather in large numbers."

"If we dig down the material here, it will definitely be better than it is now, and it will be much better, but it won't be much better."

"It is certainly possible to catch a sea bass weighing several hundred kilograms, but it is very difficult to catch more."

"It's different where there's running water!"

"One is that both small elephant fish and sea bass like flowing water very much. Another is that the bait thrown in places with flowing water will drift very far along the current, which can attract small fish schools and even directly attract schools of sea bass to gather."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he called Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to go into the cabin to get the Antarctic shrimp bricks.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou put down the fishing rods in their hands, turned around and left. After a while, they took out dozens of packages of Antarctic shrimp bricks, opened them all and put them into several large foam boxes.

Shi Guangming saw the Antarctic shrimp bricks that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou took out. He shook his head. This is really a rich man. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. Most people would not do this.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Dawen discussed adjusting the very bright light on top of the large fishing boat's cab, which can illuminate quite far, to shine directly on the flowing sea surface about ten meters away from the bow of the fishing boat, and to follow the direction of the tide.

The weather was very hot, and the Antarctic shrimp bricks thawed in no time.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou got on the speedboat and took Nan Ji down to the flowing water.

"Hit the water!"

……

"Hit them one by one!"

……

"No need to hit too fast!"

……

"Try to wait until a handful of Antarctic shrimps float forward and far away with the tide before you go for the second one."

……

Zhao Dahai looked at the water surface while instructing Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to catch Antarctic shrimps.

This matter seems simple, as if all you have to do is throw the Antarctic shrimps into the sea, but in fact this matter is very important. How well you throw them determines how far these Antarctic shrimps can float and how many fish they can attract.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou returned to the big fishing boat after catching shrimps.

"Why did it take so long?"

Shi Guangming watched Zhao Dahai taking Zhong Shizhu and others out to catch Antarctic shrimps, thinking that they would be able to finish it in ten minutes or so, but he didn't expect that it would take more than an hour.

Zhong Shizhu told Shi Guangming how he, Liu Bin, Lei Da and a few others had caught the Antarctic shrimp.

"Do you really want it like this?"

Shi Guangming really didn't expect Zhao Dahai to have such high requirements.

"This is just a small stream of water. It's a little longer now than during the day, but it can't go anywhere. The seawater doesn't flow very fast. We have to catch them one by one, as few as possible, so that the Antarctic shrimp can float farther and cover more sea surface. Otherwise, most of these Antarctic shrimp may sink to the bottom of the sea."

“It’s not that it’s impossible, but the effect is definitely not very good.”

"What we want to attract now are all the fish that gather on the water surface. It is better for Antarctic shrimp to float on the water surface for as long as possible."

Zhao Dahai walked to the bow of the fishing boat and, with the help of the light, carefully looked at the surface of the sea where the Antarctic shrimps were caught.

"This effect is really good. Why are there so many small fish in this place at this time?"

Shi Guangming walked quickly to Zhao Dahai's side and immediately saw groups of small fish gathering on the water surface under the light. It turned out that what Zhao Dahai did was very useful. With so many small fish, there would definitely be big fish. The key point was that there were so many small fish now. The places where the light could reach could be seen very clearly, groups of them, densely packed. In the places where the light could not see clearly, the water surface was constantly moving. Needless to say, there must be more small fish gathering.

"There's not much food in the sea, especially on the vast sea surface. No matter what kind of fish it is, it's not easy to find enough food. We've caught more than 300 kilograms of Antarctic shrimp here. If there's flowing water, it will definitely spread very quickly and attract a lot of small fish to gather here."

Zhao Dahai knows the fish in the sea very well. It is not easy for big fish to find enough food, and it is also very difficult for small fish to find enough food. It is not easy to attract big fish by laying bait on the vast sea surface, but it is relatively easy to attract small fish. In addition, it is even more powerful now that there are lights at night. The more small fish gather, the louder the noise will be, and heavy rain will come.

"Grandpa Shi!"

"Just wait! We may not catch any other fish tonight, but we can catch a lot of sea bass."

Zhao Dahai told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to prepare the lure rods immediately. The school of sea bass might come soon. The distance was a little far. It was not easy to catch these sea bass with ordinary rods at a distance of more than ten or twenty meters. Lure rods would be very convenient and the speed would be very fast. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou immediately turned around and went to the speedboat, took the lure rods, tied the bobra, and waited for the school of sea bass to appear so that they could fish immediately.

"Grandpa Shi."

"Will there really be a school of sea bass gathering here soon?"

Ding Dawen was a little nervous. He stared at the sea illuminated by lights in the distance with wide eyes and asked Shi Guangming in a low voice.

"Correct!"

"There must be schools of large sea bass, right? Haven't you seen that there are already many schools of small fish on the sea? There must be sea bass on the sea, but they are more scattered. Now there are not only lights here, but also schools of small fish. This is what the sea bass want to eat the most."

"It won't take long before a lot of sea bass will gather here one after another. Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu and others will definitely be able to catch a lot of sea bass tonight."

Shi Guangming was a little excited and was looking forward to the appearance of the school of sea bass. He admired Zhao Dahai's ability. This method of luring fish was actually very simple, but he and Zhao Shi had not figured it out just now.

"Do you know how to fish with lures? If so, you can go fishing with Zhao Dahai and the others later."

Zhao Shi was smoking a water pipe. There were more and more small fish on the sea surface more than ten meters away. There were even layers of small fish on the sea surface where the lights could reach. Fish were swimming and surging constantly in the deeper waters.

Ding Dawen shook his head a little embarrassedly. He did buy a lure rod and practiced with it from time to time, but it was really not suitable for fishing. Not to mention that Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were all real veterans, and they had to seize the time to fish and make money. If he fished by himself, it would really cause trouble.

"You should practice whenever you have time, whether it's traditional fishing or the current lure fishing method, you have to practice."

"While waiting for Zhao Dahai's speedboat to come back, there is nothing else to do, so I use it to kill time. The other thing is that I can really learn it. If I am really an expert, this is also a skill."

Zhao Shi reminded Ding Dawen.

"Second Grandpa."

"I got it."

Ding Dawen nodded very seriously.

"thump!"

……

"thump!"

……

"thump!"

……

Suddenly, a series of clear and loud noises were heard on the open sea.

"what!"

"coming!"

"The sea bass are here! And there must be a lot of them."

Shi Guangming slapped his thigh excitedly. This was the sound made by sea bass flying out of the water and crashing back into the sea when hunting.

If the school of sea bass is relatively small and the number of sea bass is relatively small, they rarely rush out of the water or explode. In most cases, there are a lot of fish and the sea bass compete fiercely for food. They will jump out of the water because of crazy hunting.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are very experienced in fishing. As long as there is a school of sea bass here, it is a sure thing that they will not be able to escape. No matter how many come, they will be able to catch them all.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"Are we going to start fishing now?"

Zhong Shizhu was holding the lure rod that he had prepared long ago in his hand. He was a little excited and a little nervous. He stared at the sea surface more than ten meters away with wide eyes. Now a school of sea bass had appeared, and it seemed that the school was very large.

Zhao Dahai shook his head and told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that there was no need to rush now and they should wait for about half an hour until more fish gathered here.

"Now that the fish have arrived, shouldn't we seize the opportunity to fish right away? Why do we have to wait any longer?"

Lei Dayou held a cigarette in his mouth and took several deep puffs. He was as excited as Zhong Shizhu. If there were no sea bass in the sea, he would have to wait a while. But now there were sounds of sea bass bursting in the sea. It sounded like these sea bass were very big and not too far away. He felt that it was time to start fishing and he had to hurry up.

"No need to rush!"

"The schools of sea bass have just appeared. We have to wait until there are more sea bass here and they form a larger school before we start fishing. This way we won't scare the sea bass."

"The school of sea bass is not big right now. If there are fewer sea bass, and we start fishing right away, the school of fish may disperse."

Zhao Dahai explained.

No matter it is a school of sea bass or a school of other fish, if you start fishing when there are not many of them, as long as one or a few fish are missing, the whole school will likely be frightened, and once frightened, they will run away. However, it will also form a large sea bass. Especially these sea bass compete fiercely for prey on small fish on the sea. Even if you catch a lot of sea bass, the remaining sea bass will not be affected.

Another thing is that as the fish school gets bigger, the noise made on the sea surface will become louder and louder, making it easier to attract more sea bass, and the entire fish school will grow like a snowball.

Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi stood by and listened to Zhao Dahai's words, nodding their heads in their hearts. These things were really not something that ordinary anglers could pay attention to. It was really not luck that Zhao Dahai could catch so many fish.

Zhao Dahai waited for a full half hour, until the sound of fish exploding in the water could be heard from time to time on the entire sea surface, and then he told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that they could start fishing now.

"We shouldn't fish in the area where the light shines, but in the area where the light doesn't shine, where it's dark but not too far away."

Zhao Dahai picked up the lure rod as he spoke, and the tied lure flew out as he raised his hand, hitting the water surface in a few seconds. He had just started fishing, so he could not fish for the fish on the sea surface illuminated by the light. Instead, he should fish for the fish in the dark water surface. The fish in the place where darkness and light intersect would bite more fiercely. If he took the fish from such a place away, the fish behind could swim over quickly.
