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

Chapter 1072: No Certain Method for Fishing
“Although there is nothing alive on this fish fillet, there is still some life.”

"The most important thing for you two on this fish farm is to keep an eye on the fish. You don't need to do anything else, or you need to find someone else to do it."

"Let's not talk about anything else. The two of you can't handle the wind and rain on the fish rack."

Shi Xiaoxiang pointed to the place where the fish raft was going to be built. Although it was not too far from the shore, it was still on the sea, exposed to wind, sun, rain and so on. Building a fish raft was not easy and at least required experience.

Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu, one of them did not have much experience and felt that two people were enough, while the other thought there was no need to spend extra money to hire people.

"We need to hire some experienced people."

"Even if you want to hire fewer people, you have to wait for the work on the fish racks that you two are familiar with."

Ding Xiaoxiang knew very well that both Ma Baozhu and Ding Ailian had no experience in managing fish racks, and they would definitely not be able to do it at the beginning, just the two of them staying on the fish racks.

Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu finally understood what was going on.

Ding Ailian thought about it for a long time, but she really couldn't think of what kind of person would be more suitable for someone of similar age to her. There were indeed some, but they were all inexperienced and older. She really couldn't think of any.

"correct!"

"There are two families in my village who used to work on the fish rafts. They must have experience."

"In the past two years, the business of many fish farms has not been very good. In addition, they are all over 50 or almost 60 years old and can't do much work. They can only return home and do some odd jobs."

"Both families are husband-and-wife teams who work on the fish farm together, and they are right next door to our house."

“The relationship is usually very good.”

Seeing that Ding Ailian couldn't think of any suitable person, Ma Baozhu thought carefully for a while before speaking.

"Sister Baozhu."

"We don't usually raise fish on this fish farm, so the work here must be relatively easy. The two families you mentioned are a little older and can't do heavy work, but that doesn't matter to us. They have worked on the fish farm before, so they have a lot of experience, which is actually very suitable for us."

"If you think it's okay, wait a couple of days and then talk to them about it to see if they want to do this job."

"As for the money, it's no problem. The money on our fish fillets is the same as the money on other fish fillets."

"During festivals and so on, it's all in accordance with the custom of our fishing village."

Ding Xiaoxiang thought the two families Ma Baozhu mentioned were very good.

Ben Ping is very familiar with the people in the village and knows what kind of people they are. Moreover, they are neighbors of Ma Baozhu's family and they have a good relationship with them. Another thing is that they are couples who go to the fish fillet together, which is actually very good.

"Row!"

"I'll talk to them when I get home in the next two days."

“It’s not easy to find a job nowadays.”

"It's impossible not to be happy."

Ma Baozhu agreed. It was hard to find a job nowadays. Her two neighbors had been unemployed for almost a year. If she went back, they would all be confirmed.

Ding Xiaoxiang, Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu left the dock together. It was already getting hot as the sun was rising. They found a place to sit down and have a meal, and then talked about the whole thing in detail.

Artificial islands and reefs.

The sun sets.

The sky was filled with bright red clouds.

People who have not seen this kind of scene think it is very beautiful, but people who often go out to sea to fish or angle have seen it so many times that they have become accustomed to it.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua sat on the deck, smoking and drinking water, watching Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou fishing.

"Why did you two stop again? There are so many fish in the sea now, why don't you catch more while you can?"

As Zhong Shizhu spoke, he reached out and pulled the line to pick up a string of four black sea breams, all weighing five or six pounds.

"Forget it!"

“It’s really impossible to catch it!”

Lin Zuhua waved his hand.

Our original plan when we came to the artificial island today was to fish for grouper. If this is the case, using an electric reel, Ding Chongshan and I can fish for a whole day without any problems.

But after trying several spots here, no fish took the bait.

Zhao Dahai made a prompt decision and gave up fishing for grouper and switched to fishing for black porgy. The effect was very good. He fished for almost three hours in a row. There were quite a lot of black porgy in the sea. He pulled them up one after another. Most of them were four or five kilograms in size. He caught at least two in a string and sometimes four or five at a time.

Isn’t fishing with an electric reel tiring?

How is this possible?

When fishing for grouper, it is impossible to catch them in a bunch. You really need to take a break after catching one. You can catch one in an hour, and two at most is enough.

This way you won’t be too tired.

Now I hook black porgy like this, pulling them in bunches non-stop without stopping for a breath. After a few hours, I feel really tired.

"Correct!"

“It’s really impossible to fish anymore!”

Ding Chongshan sighed.

Fishing in this way is really profitable, and it is very profitable.

Sometimes a string weighs eight or ten kilograms, and sometimes it weighs twenty kilograms.

A pound of black bar that is four or five kilograms in size can be sold for at least 20 to 30 yuan, and sometimes even 50 to 60 yuan.

A fish costs at least one hundred and fifty or even two hundred yuan.

A string of fish costs four to five hundred yuan or even one thousand yuan.

How can fishing like this not make money? But it is really tiring.

Fishing is not just about putting the hook into the sea and waiting for it to finally fall. You have to put bait in the bait net, let out the line, reel it in and catch the fish.

Ding Chongshan knew that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and Zhao Dahai could make a lot of money by going fishing at sea, but after seeing Guangzhong Shizhu, Liu Binghe and Lei Dayou fishing for three or four hours in a row, he knew that it was not so easy to make money. Most people did not have the physical strength to do this.

"There are still a lot of fish in the sea right now. We really need to hurry up and catch more fish."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he pulled up a string of five large black sea breams and threw the hooks into the live water tank.

"Zhao Dahai."

"The black croakers here are not only big, but also the most important thing is that I have been fishing for such a long time and still have fish. What's going on? Don't the schools of fish in the open sea still depend on the tides and water flow? Can I really catch fish if I fish until night?"

Lin Zuhua was very curious and didn't know why the school of fish here was so large.

We have been fishing for such a long time, and we have caught at least 3,000 kilograms of fish. We have never changed our location and have only fished in one place. The bites have not decreased significantly. In fact, the bites are now more frequent than at the beginning. The school of black sea bream on the seabed is very large. "This is an artificial island reef."

"The sea is deeper, and another very important thing is that there are a lot of rocks on the seabed here. Such a place is very suitable for the growth of various fish, including black sea bream."

"No matter what kind of fish there are, there will be a lot of them. The key is whether we can catch them or whether we can gather them together."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he stuffed the bait cage with Antarctic shrimps, put the shelled shrimp meat on the hook and put it back into the sea.

The structure of the artificial islands and reefs is very complex, and the schools of fish, such as black sea bream and yellow croaker, are often very large. But many times, it is not that there are no fish in the sea, but that there are fish in the sea, and there are a lot of fish. The key is whether you can catch them.

"There are tides and currents on the artificial islands and reefs, but this depends on the location. In some places, the tides and currents are more obvious, so fishing in such places depends on the tides and currents. But in some places, the tides and currents are not so obvious, so fishing in such places cannot be determined by the tides and currents."

"The place we are fishing today just has no tidal currents."

"Fishing is almost all done hiding in the rocks, and we have to lure these fish out while fishing."

"The solution is very simple. You have to keep using Antarctic shrimp to make nests."

"You can't fish in the same water layer. If you fish in the same water layer, you can only attract black sea breams in the same place and water layer to gather here."

"We have to put Antarctic shrimp in different water layers, but we can't put too many. If we put too many, the snakeheads will be scattered in different water layers."

"There are fish in all kinds of water layers, which is a real headache to catch."

"Thirty-five meters!"

"Uncle Shizhu."

"The next water layer to fish in is thirty-five meters!"

Zhao Dahai loudly reminded Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou of the next water layer to fish.

"Uncle Shizhu and his friends are fishing while they are making nests, but the location where they make nests is often the same water layer where they are fishing."

"I was fishing and baiting at the same time, but the water layer where I baited was different from the water layer where Uncle Shizhu and his friends were fishing."

"The water layer where I'm making my nest is about 70 meters deep now!"

"In the next hour, I will bait the nest in the water layer of about 70 meters every time."

"But when fishing, you fish for thirty-five meters."

"The fish caught in the 35-meter water layer have decreased. At this time, the fish that sank in the water around 70 meters have gathered again."

"Uncle Shizhu and his friends started fishing in the water layer of about 70 meters, and I made a nest in the water layer of 35 meters, or in another water layer to gather black sea bream."

Zhao Dahai explained in detail how he made the nest and how he fished.

Lin Zuhua suddenly understood what was going on.

"This method is really great!"

"Why don't other captains do this?"

Lin Zuhua was very surprised that this method looked simple but very useful. However, when he went fishing with other boat captains in the past, he had never seen anyone use this method.

Zhao Dahai shook his head and told Lin Zuhua that this method was indeed not complicated and many people knew this principle, but it could not be used in all situations.

The situation here on the artificial islands and reefs is very special.

There are many rocks on the seabed and the structure is complex. Fish do not stay in one place but may appear in different water layers.

Only in this situation is it possible to use this method, and this method is not necessarily useful.

Another place where this method can be used is at the foot of a windmill.

But even this doesn’t work every time.

What I want to say is that this method is very useful here today.

"Zhao Dahai."

"You mean to say that when you go fishing in any place, you have to consider the situation at the time and see what method works best. If it doesn't work, you have to think of another method, or even change it?"

Lin Zuhua frowned. He originally thought that Zhao Dahai's method was very useful and he could use it the next time he and others went fishing. But after Zhao Dahai said that, he realized that things were not that simple. This was not a method that could be used at any time and in any place.

"Correct!"

"This is a method that can only be used in a certain situation and under a certain environment."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he pushed the switch of the electric reel to reel in the line. The pole bent sharply, and there must have been four or even five fish on the hook, a total of 20 kilograms of fish.

Lin Zuhua was a little disappointed, but immediately laughed again.

There are many ways to fish. Not to mention those who specialize in sea fishing, they know hundreds of ways. However, not everyone can understand what method to use and what place to catch fish.

Why is Zhao Dahai so powerful?
Why was Zhao Dahai able to catch so many fish?

It’s really not that Zhao Dahai knows some fishing spots that other people don’t know.

The most amazing thing about Zhao Dahai is that he can find ways to catch fish in different places.

He had gone fishing with Zhao Dahai several times, including fishing for black sea bream several times, but he had never used this method.

Is there no fixed rule for fishing?

Lin Zuhua suddenly remembered a mysterious statement that has been said in the fishing circle.

It's twelve o'clock at night.

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to put away their fishing rods. There were fish in the sea now, but there were not many. It took half a day to catch ten or so. It was not worth it. This trip to the sea for fishing had already taken a long time and we had to go back.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou nodded, put away their rods, and then began to pack up the things on the plywood. Only after everything was packed up did they stop to drink water, smoke and rest.

"what!"

"We caught quite a lot of black porgy this time."

"I don't know if there are eight thousand kilograms, but there are definitely around seven thousand kilograms!"

Zhong Shizhu smoked heavily and was very happy.

Today, I came to the artificial island reef for duty at the beginning but didn't catch any fish. I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to catch any fish. Unexpectedly, I found the spot where black sea bream were caught right after that, and I caught a lot of them at once.

"Isn't it? The number of black sea bream we caught today must be quite a lot, it must be seven thousand kilograms!"

"Most of these fish are alive. When we return to the fishing boats and keep them in the live water tanks, we can sell them and make a lot of money."

Liu Bin nodded, today’s harvest was really good.

Zhao Dahai's face was full of smiles. He caught fish and made a lot of money. He was in a very good mood and drove the speedboat back to Ding Dawen's big fishing boat.
