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

Chapter 1024
"What about tonight? Are we going to the Great Sea Ditch or other fishing spots you are familiar with?"

Shi Guangming asked Zhao Dahai what his plans were for tonight.

Zhao Dahai thought about it and decided to go to the Dahaigou tonight to take a look.

There are indeed fish on the artificial islands and reefs, but they are basically impossible to catch.

In the past few days, I and Zhong Shizhu and others have caught a lot of fish, but one of these fish was caught in the sea trench, and the other was caught on a fishing boat. Basically, they have nothing to do with the fish on the real artificial islands and reefs.

The fish in the island and reef foam area haven't been biting these days. If you want to catch fish, the safest place is definitely the sea trench.

Shi Guangming glanced at Zhao Shi.

"Do you want to go fishing with Zhao Dahai tonight?"

Zhao Shi glanced at Shi Guangming.

"We are just sitting around doing nothing on this big ship, so why not just go out with Zhao Dahai and the others?"

Shi Guangming nodded, he really had such a plan.

There is nothing to do on the fishing boat except sleeping, or chatting with Ding Dawen and a few others.

Zhao Dahai went out on the speedboat to see the fish being caught one after another. He was very excited and thrilled.

Zhao Shi was a little tempted, but he felt that there was no need for it.

"Pooh!"

"Do you, an old man, really need to sleep for so long a day?"

"Zhao Dahai's speedboat is so big, the two of us can't get in the way."

"Not only does it not get in the way, sometimes you can even use the scoop net to help scoop up fish and do some other work."

"Why don't we take the speedboat?"

Shi Guangming glared at Zhao Shi.

"Second Grandpa."

"Why don't you come with us? There are sleeping cabins in the speedboat anyway. If you are really tired, you can just take a nap on the speedboat."

"There really is nothing to do on this fishing boat!"

Zhao Dahai felt that there was really nothing for Zhao Shi to do on this big fishing boat, so he just followed him to fish, and it would be more lively with a few more people.

Zhao Shi thought about it, nodded and agreed.

Ding Dawen knew that Zhao Dahai was going to the artificial island to fish, so he had already called the people in the kitchen to start cooking. The food was served as soon as it was ready, and everyone gathered together to eat.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Will he be back around one or two in the morning? Do you want me to cook some midnight snacks?"

Ding Dawen asked Zhao Dahai while eating.

If we finish our meal now and go out to sea around five or six, we will definitely be hungry by one or two in the morning.

Zhao Dahai nodded. He definitely had to cook, and it had to be big fish and meat. If he caught any fish, he would come back to deliver the fish and have a meal. If he didn't catch any fish, he would still have to come back to eat something and then continue fishing on the artificial islands and reefs.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi, a total of six people, finished their meal and rested for five or six minutes. Then they all got on the speedboat, checked and found no problems. They had brought all the necessary things. Then they untied the ropes, left the big fishing boat and headed towards the artificial island.

Ding Dawen waited for the speedboat driven by Zhao Dahai to leave and disappear, then returned to the cab and raised the ladder.

Ding Dawen was not idle. He was just waiting for Zhao Dahai to come back on the fishing boat. He checked the fishing boat to see if there was any problem. Then he turned and walked into the cabin, to the live water tank and the cold storage. He checked all the fish in the live water tank carefully, seeing no problem. He then checked the cold storage to make sure there was no problem with the temperature.

When Ding Dawen returned to the cockpit, it was already eight o'clock in the evening and the entire sea had already turned pitch black.

"I wonder if Zhao Dahai has caught any fish yet?"

Ding Dawen picked up his water cup, took several sips of strong tea, and looked up. Most of the sea was as black as the bottom of a pot. Only a few lights could be vaguely seen in the distance. These must be fishing boats or fishing speedboats.

Artificial islands and reefs.

Zhao Dahai was driving the speedboat forward. The speed couldn't be said to be fast, but it wasn't slow either.

Zhao Dahai stared at the sea with wide eyes. Not only did he have to be careful when driving a speedboat at night, but he also had to see if there were any other speedboats around.

"Is it possible that there are no other speedboats in the Great Ocean Trench tonight? If that's the case, we might have to seize this opportunity and go fishing!"

Zhong Shizhu kept turning his head and body from time to time, looking at the surrounding sea. When he first arrived at the artificial island reef, he encountered several speedboats that stayed there for overnight fishing. He was very worried, but he never saw any speedboats for overnight fishing again afterwards.

“The artificial islands and reefs are still a little far away.”

“Most of the speedboats fishing around here are a bit smaller.”

"Those who can catch fish here during this period may try to arrange a few speedboats to stay here for night fishing, but the vast majority of people still have to go back."

Zhao Dahai looked at the fish finder navigation and found that it would reach the trench in about two nautical miles.

It is basically unlikely that there will be any speedboats at this time, so there shouldn't be anyone disturbing my fishing tonight.

Zhao Dahai couldn't help but speed up a little.

"Great!"

"There really is no other speedboat here today!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"We have to hurry up and fish."

Liu Bin stood on the deck of the speedboat, staring wide-eyed as he looked around but didn't see even a single light. He knew there couldn't be any other speedboats at a considerable distance nearby.

But it's a good opportunity, so we have to seize the time to go fishing.

Liu Bin called out to Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou and they started preparing immediately. They had to get the rods, reels and everything else ready in no time so that they could start fishing as soon as Zhao Dahai said so.

Zhao Dahai drove a speedboat to the spot where he caught a lot of fish two nights ago. If he had caught fish before and caught a lot of fish, he would definitely fish in such a place first next time he comes. If he doesn't catch any fish, he will go to other places.

"what?"

"Why has the sea water here become deeper tonight? It's already almost 180 meters deep?"

Zhao Dahai was very surprised when he looked at the depth of the sea water shown on the fish finder.

The last time I came here to fish, it was only about 170 meters deep. Now it is clearly 10 meters deeper, and some places are about 5 meters deep.

Zhong Shizhu had just set up the poles on the gun mount, and he became a little anxious when he heard what Zhao Dahai said.

There were no other speedboats around. Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and I were all thinking of having a big go here tonight and catching as many fish as possible, but we didn't expect to encounter something like this.

Zhong Shizhu immediately asked if this would have any impact.

"Is it possible that there will be no impact? Not to mention a 10-meter or 5-meter depth, even a 1-meter or even a half-meter change in the depth of the seawater can sometimes affect the fish in the sea." Zhao Dahai nodded without hesitation. After fishing for a long time, you will know that the changes in the seawater have a great impact on the fish in the sea. Even very subtle changes can affect the fish, not to mention the change in the depth of the seawater. Sometimes even a slightly stronger wind on the sea surface can affect the fish in the sea.

"But the change in the depth of the sea should be a better thing for us. We may be able to catch more groupers or other fish here tonight than last time."

Zhao Dahai saw that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da were all nervous, and immediately said another sentence.

"Zhongshizhu!"

"You guys have been fishing for a short time, so you don't know what impact the changes in the sea water will have."

"It's actually very simple. The deeper the sea water is, the safer the fish in the sea feel."

"Just like humans, if they feel a place is relatively safe, they will feel very relieved. Once food appears, the predators will become more ferocious."

"That's why Zhao Dahai said the fish might be biting harder here tonight. We might be able to catch more fish here tonight."

Shi Guangming explained that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish, but they lacked experience after all, and didn't know what was going on. To put it bluntly, it was very simple. As the sea water became deeper, the fish in the sea would feel safer, and it was easier to catch the fish at this time.

"what!"

"I was really shocked just now!"

……

"Seeing there are no other speedboats here, I thought we'd have to do some big stuff tonight."

"If the sea becomes deeper and affects the fish's ability to open their mouths, or even stops them from opening their mouths, the loss will be huge."

……

"If it's a good thing that the water is getting deeper, then we have to fish harder here today!"

"You have to catch at least 5,000-jin grouper to catch it!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou relaxed immediately, talking and laughing. They were really a little worried at the beginning.

"Generally speaking, this is definitely the case. The deeper the water, the more alert the fish will be and the more likely they will open their mouths. Also, the deeper the water, the more likely the surrounding fish will gather in deeper waters."

"In other words, there is a high probability that more fish will gather in the Great Trench tonight, and the bite of these fish may be more aggressive."

"But it's hard to say whether this is actually the case. We have to cast our rods and try to see if there is a bite."

Zhao Dahai nodded, but immediately shook his head. This is generally the case, yes, but there are many factors that affect the fish in the sea. How many fish are there here tonight? Are these fish easy to catch? Only when you cast the rod and catch them can it count.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were originally very relaxed, thinking that they would be able to catch a lot of fish tonight. However, when they heard what Zhao Dahai said, they immediately became nervous again.

"All right!"

"This is the spot. Let's try and see if we can catch any fish. If the fish are biting hard tonight, let's try it right here. If a fish bites right after we place an order, we'll make a fortune tonight!"

Zhao Dahai parked the speedboat and told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that the current depth of the sea water here was 187 meters.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou didn't say a word and immediately cast their fishing rods and cast the lines directly to 183 or 184 meters.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou have been fishing for such a long time and are very experienced. There is no need for Zhao Dahai to say too much. The three of them cast their lines one after another and hit the bottom.

Liu Bin was the first to let out the line. The lead weight hit the seabed. Just as he was about to reel it in, he suddenly saw the rod bend.

Liu Bin was quick-witted and pushed the electric winch's wire-reel switch hard.

"middle!"

"The fish are coming!"

Liu Bin watched the pole bend, the electric reel spin continuously, and the hooked fish pulled up five or six meters at once. He swung his right hand vigorously.

Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou looked at each other and immediately let go of the line to hit the bottom.

"what!"

“Hooked!”

……

"big!"

"Start at 80 kilograms!"

……

As soon as Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou let out the line and hit the bottom, a fish took the bait.

Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi looked at each other, unable to believe that this was the situation.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"You're really right, aren't you?"

"The fish here tonight are really no joke, they are biting the hook really fiercely."

Shi Guangming looked at Zhao Dahai with a very strange look.

"Grandpa Shi."

"This matter has nothing to do with me. As the sea becomes deeper, it is definitely possible that the fish will bite more fiercely, and there will be more fish gathering on the seabed."

"Anyone who has gone fishing offshore, or fishing in Shanghai, knows that this is how it works."

"But I have to say that the fierceness of the fish biting here tonight really exceeded my imagination. I myself did not expect it to be like this."

Zhao Dahai really didn't expect that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou would catch fish as soon as they cast their rods. The key point was that the bites were very crisp and fierce, which meant that there were many fish on the seabed, and all of them were starving.

I just said that it is possible to catch a lot of fish here tonight. Now it seems that this is very likely to be the case. The last time, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou and I went fishing here in the Dahaigou for the first time, we only fished until three in the morning. If we can fish until dawn tonight, it will be amazing.

"Humph!"

"Do you need to ask me what's going on? There are fish in the sea now and they are biting hard. You just need to seize the time to fish. It's useless to say anything else."

Zhao Shi didn't care what the situation was. As long as there were fish in the sea and as long as the fish took the bait, there was only one thing to do, and that was to seize the time and catch as many fish as possible.

Zhao Dahai nodded, without saying anything more, and immediately started fishing, just like Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou. As soon as he cast the rod, a fish took the bait, and it was quite big, weighing at least 80 kilograms if not 90 kilograms.

"Old man Zhao!"

"I think tonight is going to be a big one."

"We caught a lot of fish here last time, and we're sure to catch more fish here tonight."

Shi Guangming watched Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou catch fish taking bites after casting their fishing rods. He rubbed his old face hard and instinctively felt that he could catch more fish here tonight.
