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

Chapter 1023: Over ?!

Zhao Dahai rested for about ten minutes and drank a lot of water before he slowly recovered.

Zhao Dahai immediately called out to Ding Dawen to ask the kitchen to cook some breakfast. There was no need to cook anything else, just make some seafood porridge first.

Ding Dawen said that the kitchen is ready now and it can be delivered at any time if you want to eat.

"It will be served right now. Put it in a bowl and let it cool down. You will have to eat it soon."

Zhao Dahai pointed at the time that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bing and Lei Dayou had been fishing this time, which was unprecedentedly long. He was very tired. Zhong Shizhu and the others were in better health than others, but they were still very tired. They must eat something and have a good sleep now.

"How does it feel?"

Zhao Shi walked up to Zhao Dahai. This fishing trip took too long and there was no time to rest.

"It is indeed a bit tiring, mainly because it took too long. I didn't expect the school of sea bass here to last for such a long time."

Zhao Dahai had to admit that this fishing trip took longer than he had imagined.

Fishing for sea bass is different from fishing for other fish. You have to hurry up and take the fish as soon as it bites. Pull it up. There is no such thing as fishing. There is no room for delay. One fish after another.

The intensity was very high and I actually felt a bit tired.

“I’m really tired this time!”

……

"Both my hands are a little numb!"

……

"This is the first time I've been so tired after going fishing with Zhao Dahai!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou walked to the deck and slowly sat down. After resting for such a long time and catching their breath, they drank some water. Then everyone immediately lit a cigarette and started smoking one puff after another.

"It's definitely tiring, but if you just think about how many fish you caught and how much money you made, you won't feel tired anymore!"

As Shi Guangming spoke, he raised his hand and made the shape of the number eight.

There were four people, Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou. They caught a lot of sea bass this time, definitely no less than 8,000 kilograms.

"Yo!"

"You caught so many fish? But this is normal. We spent so much time and effort, if we don't catch an 8,000-jin sea bass, how can we justify ourselves?"

Zhong Shizhu took a deep puff of his cigarette.

I'm not kidding, this trip was really tiring. If I had only caught three thousand kilograms of sea bass, it would have been a shame for all of us. But then again, if I had only caught three thousand kilograms of sea bass, I wouldn't have had to be so tired.

"Eight thousand kilograms?"

"Not bad!"

"We went to the artificial island last night and watched other speedboats fail to catch fish. When it got dark, Zhao Dahai and our group tried several times but still couldn't catch any fish. We thought maybe there were no fish this time. We didn't expect to lose so many fish when we came back here."

"What's this called?"

"Is it an accidental planting that has led to a good result?"

Liu Bin exhaled a puff of smoke and simply lay down on the deck feeling comfortable.

"Who cares what kind of fish it is? As long as you can catch a fish and make money, it's a good fish!"

"We've never caught so many sea bass in one night, have we?"

Lei Dayou didn't expect that he and Zhao Dahai had caught 8,000 kilograms of sea bass at once. He was so happy that he opened his mouth wide.

"Zhao Dahai."

"What's going on? Why do these schools of sea bass take so long to catch?"

Shi Guangming thought of what he had been thinking about just now. It was very normal to fish for other fish for such a long time, especially for the grouper on the seabed, which could often be fished for more than ten hours, twenty hours, or even several days.

The characteristic of sea bass is that they come and go quickly. I never expected that it would take more than eight hours to fish for these sea bass this time.

"This is due to the tides and water flow. As long as the tides and water flow do not disappear, coupled with the lights we shine on the tides and water flow, more and more small fish will be attracted. With small fish, big fish will appear."

"These big sea bass that come together make a lot of noise."

"When the other sea bass see their own kind in this place, just like people like to watch the excitement, as long as they see people gathered in a place, they can see other people or passers-by, even people far away, they will gather to see what is going on."

"The surrounding sea is very open. When these fish peaks are scattered, they are not noticeable. But once they gather together, it will be a big deal. It is very easy to form a huge school of fish, and this school of fish will last for a very long time."

"Another very important thing is the way Uncle Shizhu and I fish."

“From the beginning, I only fished in the dark area where the light hits and the light doesn’t hit.”

"The biggest advantage of fishing in such places is that the bites are very fierce and there will be bites in a very short time, so these fish can be caught. What's more important is that the fish in this position are moved away, so the fish behind that are rushing over have enough space to squeeze forward."

"This way, we can drop more and more!"

Zhao Dahai pointed at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.

"Why are Uncle Shizhu and the others, like me, so tired?"

"You just have to catch the sea bass in the dark junction quickly to make room for the fish behind."

"If the speed is too slow and there are too many fish, the fish behind can't squeeze in and can't grab the food, and they may run away. If only one fish runs away, most likely two fish will run away, and if more than a dozen fish run away to hunt somewhere else, it is very likely that the entire school of fish will be dispersed."

Zhao Dahai has caught a lot of sea bass recently and is very familiar with the habits of sea bass.

Why do sea bass follow the tides and currents? In the final analysis, it is to find food.

As long as there is food in a place, these hungry sea bass will stay there without moving, even if the tide is weak or even non-existent.

Just now, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Binlei and I had fished for sea bass at the dark intersection of a fishing circle. We had to make the sea bass coming from behind think that there was food ahead, otherwise these fish would have run away long ago.

Shi Guangming suddenly realized that tides and water flow were important, but Zhao Dahai's fishing strategy played a very critical and important role.

If it were ordinary people, including myself, Zhao Shi and Ding Dawen, we would definitely be busy fishing for the sea bass on the water surface illuminated by the lights.

I never thought there would be so many details.

Ding Dawen called out to the cook to bring up the cooked porridge, and placed bowl after bowl of it directly on the deck. Each bowl was as big as a human head, and contained seafood porridge made with prawns, crabs, and octopus, with pieces of fatty pork belly mixed in between.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were extremely tired and starving. When they saw the porridge being served, they could not help drooling at the aroma. They were already exhausted from fishing for such a long time and were extremely hungry, so they picked up the porridge and started eating.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou ate two large bowls of food in one breath, touched their stomachs, breathed a sigh of relief, feeling full and comfortable.

Zhao Dahai ate four bowls before stopping.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou admired him very much. Zhao Dahai was just stronger than others, ate more than others and worked faster than others. Only people with good health and strong bodies could eat so much.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou finished their breakfast and rested for a few minutes. They were very tired, so they stood up and went back to the cabin to take a shower and sleep.

Ding Dawen, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming returned to the cab.

"Ding Dawen."

"How many fish did Zhao Dahai and his friends catch tonight? It must be at least 8,000 kilograms, right?"

Shi Guangming asked Ding Dawen how many fish Zhao Dahai had caught, as no one knew better than him.

"It must be more than eight thousand kilograms!"

"At least nine thousand kilograms, maybe even ten thousand kilograms."

Ding Dawen shook his head. The amount of sea bass caught by Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu and the other three was definitely more than 8,000 kilograms.

"did you see that?"

"What did I say last night? If you use a fishing net to catch fish, it's not easy to catch so many sea bass."

"Let's put aside other things. Just the manpower alone is not enough to set up a fishing net to catch so many fish. Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou alone can't do it."

"It takes a lot of effort to pull the nets and unhook the fish."

Zhao Shi mentioned what he had talked about with Shi Guangming last night.

Other people may be able to catch more fish by setting out fishing nets, but for Zhao Dahai, fishing is more cost-effective and faster.

"What can be done about this?"

"Zhao Dahai is just that capable!"

"How many other people who go fishing in the open sea or even deep sea have the skills of Zhao Dahai? Not to mention one night, even if 20 or 30 people on a sea fishing boat catch as many sea bass as Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou catch in a month, it's still a long way to go."

"You can do whatever you want if you have the ability!"

Shi Guangming had to admit that people like Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu were really good at fishing.

I have been taking others out to sea, and I have been doing deep-sea fishing for so many years, but I have never met someone like Zhao Dahai.

The scary thing is that Zhao Dahai can not only catch a lot of fish himself, but almost everyone can catch a lot of fish as long as they follow him to fish and as long as he tells you how to fish.

Even though a fishing spot costs 200,000 yuan, there are still a lot of people scrambling for it, some even crying and shouting to pay the money to go fishing with Zhao Dahai.

Who could have imagined such a thing?
Zhao Shi talked with Shi Guangming for a while, smoked for a while, and yawned a few times. From tonight until dawn, Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou kept fishing without sleeping. The two of them did not sleep either, and as they are old, they are really a little tired now.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming left the cab and went back to the cabin to sleep.

Ding Dawen was wondering when Zhao Shi would react and go back to sleep. After about an hour, he went to the cabin and took a look at the sea bass caught in the live water tank. A few of them looked problematic, so he scooped them up with a scoop net and placed them separately in a large bucket with oxygen. If they died, they would be put directly in the refrigerator. If they were not dead, they would be put back in the live water tank later.

After finishing all these things, Ding Dawen felt a little tired, but he did not go back to the cabin to sleep. Instead, he returned to the cab and checked that the fishing boat was docked very steadily. It was broad daylight, the wind was calm, the sea was very open, and there was no danger. He dozed off in the chair.

Ding Dawen woke up and looked at the clock. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Ding Dawen stood up, sweating profusely. He took the cup of water, drank a few sips of water, moved his hands and feet, and suddenly became energetic.

Ding Dawen turned around and walked quickly out of the cab, entered the cabin, and carefully checked the sea bass that had just been caught. One of the ones in the big bucket was already dead, so he picked it up and threw it into the refrigerator. The remaining ones were fine, alive and kicking, so he put them back into the live water tank.

Ding Dawen checked the other fish again and found nothing wrong with them.

Ding Dawen returned to the cab and saw that Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Dayou, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming had all woken up.

Ding Dawen said that there was nothing wrong with the fish, except that two or three sea bass had died and had been put in the refrigerator.

Zhao Dahai thought about it and told Ding Dawen to eat the dead sea bass in the evening, make soup with the fish head, and cook the fish meat however he wanted.

Ding Dawen nodded and said he would talk to the cook about this matter later.

"There are quite a few speedboats fishing on the artificial islands today. We have seen nearly 20 of them here alone."

Shi Guangming recalled the speedboat he and Zhao Shi had seen passing by here early in the morning. Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu were busy fishing and ignored this matter.

The entire sea surface of the artificial islands and reefs is very wide. There are not only other routes to get to the artificial islands and reefs, but also the location where the large fishing boats are located.

If you can see so many here, there must be more speedboats going to artificial islands and reefs in other directions.

"There are now about a hundred speedboats fishing on artificial islands and reefs."

Zhong Shizhu smoked a cigarette, looked at the sea in the direction of the artificial islands and reefs, and shook his head.

Shi Guangming just said that he saw twenty speedboats, and if all other speedboats are added together, there must be no less than a hundred speedboats. Don't be fooled by the vast sea. Usually, you can see a speedboat not too far away.

"what!"

"We don't have to think too much about it now. Unless we don't fish on the artificial islands during the day, we will definitely encounter other speedboats!"

"As we said yesterday, whether there are other speedboats or not, we will fish if we want to. We don't care about anything else."

Zhao Dahai didn't want to see such a situation, but it was really beyond his control. If he could come here, others could come here as well. He had to hurry up and fish more at the spots he knew, otherwise sooner or later someone would find the fish that someone else had caught.
