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

Chapter 1077 Fishing Must Change
“Are there really large schools of fish?”

Ding Chongshan couldn't help but turn his head to look at the place where he had just caught the fish in the sea.

"It's still unclear whether it's a large school of fish. We need to fish a few more times to know what's going on."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he quickly took off the hook, threw the fish into a large bucket nearby, and immediately swung the rod out to continue fishing.

Zhao Dahai cast four rods, and every time he cast, there was a fish biting the hook as soon as it hit the water.

Zhao Shi turned around and left without saying a word. He couldn't be 100% sure that there would be a large school of fish, but Zhao Dahai's few rods had fish bite the hook as soon as they hit the water, so the chance of a large school of fish was very high. At this time, he had to call Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da to get up and go fishing.

"Ugh!"

"Ding Chongshan."

"Are we two fishing too little?"

"Why didn't you notice this?"

Lin Zuhua looked and saw that in less than ten minutes, Zhao Dahai had already caught five or six fish, all of which were large sea bass weighing more than 20 kilograms, which made him even more annoyed.

"What can we do? Zhao Dahai is able to catch fish, and he caught a lot more fish than others. He is really unique. Even though this may seem like a common thing, we have been here for such a long time that we didn't notice it."

Ding Chongshan was also a little depressed.

The school of fish was right in front of him and Lin Zuhua, not far away. It was no one's fault that he couldn't see them. He could only say that he had no vision and was incompetent.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou wiped their eyes and rushed out of the cabin. When they saw that Zhao Dahai was holding a lure rod, they immediately picked up their rods and ran to Zhao Dahai.

"The wind is strong now, so just use a lead hook."

“The fish are right on the surface!”

Zhao Dahai saw that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had all come and were holding poles and shouting loudly to remind them.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou looked at the direction Zhao Dahai pointed and realized that it was the place where they had caught a sea bass weighing six to seven hundred kilograms a few hours ago. They all nodded, distanced themselves from each other, and immediately started casting their rods to fish.

"Bite!"

……

"big!"

……

"what!"

“I didn’t expect there would be fish in this place!”

……

As soon as Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou swung out, a fish took the bait and they woke up all of a sudden.

"quick!"

"Hurry up, let's see how big this school of fish is!"

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly to remind Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to speed up their fishing to see how big the school of fish in the sea was at this moment.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou stopped talking and concentrated on fishing. One after another, sea bass weighing twenty or thirty kilograms were pulled out of the water and brought to the side of the fishing boat.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua did not fish, but helped to scoop fish with a scoop net. It was relatively easy at the beginning, but after Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou sped up fishing, they became a little flustered.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou kept fishing for almost an hour before no fish took the bait.

"take a break."

"There are no fish in the sea at this time. We have to wait and see when the fish come again. Then we can continue fishing."

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to put away their fishing rods and take a rest. When there were fish in the sea, they had to seize the time and fish hard. Now that there were no fish in the sea, they had to seize the time and take a rest and wait for the next school of fish to appear.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"Do you mean that there will be new schools of fish appearing in this place in a while?"

Lin Zuhua's clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was panting from catching fish.

"Wait half an hour or an hour and try again to see if there are any fish in this place. If there are fish, my guess is correct."

Zhao Dahai put down the fishing rod and drank the water in big gulps. He had not stopped for an hour and had caught about twenty fish. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had also caught at least ten fish. Together, they had caught fifty or sixty fish. Each fish weighed at least twenty kilograms, and the big ones weighed thirty kilograms. Together, they had caught at least one thousand kilograms of fish, and it is possible that they had caught twelve hundred kilograms of fish.

"This is really amazing! How come there are fish in this place and they are always full of fish?"

Ding Dawen had been staying in the cab just now. He went up to the deck only after seeing Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu and others finish fishing. He had been fishing all the time and all the fish he caught were kept in large buckets. Now they had to be transferred to the live water tank of the fishing boat.

Night falls.

The sky gradually darkened, the wind grew stronger and stronger, and it was pitch dark over the entire sea.

"Only large fishing boats can stay and fish in such weather."

Ding Chongshan was holding a bowl of freshly cooked seafood porridge. Zhao Shi was very experienced and knew that Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu might go fishing at any time and couldn't eat big fish and meat slowly, but they had to eat, otherwise they wouldn't have the energy to work. He asked the kitchen to cook seafood porridge with meat, shrimp and fish, so that they could fill their stomachs, but not like eating, where they would feel full and digest faster.

"This is because the fishing boats are larger in size, which gives them an advantage."

"When the weather is good, we can start fishing right away. It will take other fishing boats or speedboats most of the day to get here, so we can immediately seize the opportunity."

"If you put your fishing net into the sea before others, or if you are quick to occupy the best spot, you will definitely catch more fish and fish more than others."

Lin Zuhua peeled a shrimp and threw it into his mouth, then drank a mouthful of porridge. Although he didn't go fishing, the process of catching fish was very tiring and he was already hungry, so he ate with great relish.

Just taking fishing as an example, with wind like this, other speedboats can only go back and cannot stay in places like artificial islands and reefs. However, Zhao Dahai's fishing boat is relatively large, and the wind of level 7 or 8 will have an impact on it, but the impact is not significant, so it can stay here. As soon as the weather is good, Zhao Dahai can drive the speedboat out to sea to fish. When other speedboats arrive, Zhao Dahai will have already been fishing for most of the day.

"what!"

"We had some extra gains this time because of the wind. We've fished three times so far, and we've got at least two to three thousand kilograms of sea bass. Aren't these tens of thousands of dollars in our pocket?"

Zhao Dahai pointed to the place where Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had fished three times. The strong wind and waves were not suitable for fishing, but their luck was really good. Schools of sea bass would gather about 30 meters away from the fishing boat from time to time. It was really like money coming from the sky while one is at home and nothing can stop it.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all laughed at once. They had originally thought that it would be impossible to go fishing at sea due to such a strong wind, but they did not expect that they could fish on this fishing boat, and they had already caught quite a few fish.

"Now we can catch a lot of fish. Even if the weather is bad and the wind is strong, it feels much better if we can't go out to sea to fish for the time being."

Lei Dayou said this as he drank the bowl of seafood porridge in his hand in big gulps.

There have been strong winds these past two days and I haven't been able to go fishing. I feel very depressed when I think about the fact that I caught fewer fish. Now I can fish here on this fishing boat. Although the fish I catch cannot be compared with those when I go out to sea, it is better than nothing. And to be fair, I caught a lot of fish.

"Lei Dayou."

"Why do I feel like you have no resentment at all all of a sudden?" Zhong Shizhu joked.

"Isn't it me? Even though I don't catch that many fish now, and I don't make that much money, I've made money anyway!"

"We go fishing every hour or so, and each time we can catch 700, 800, 1,000 kilograms of fish."

Lei Dayou is really not depressed at all now, as he can catch fish on this fishing boat.

"Zhao Dahai."

“Why is it that there are no fish when releasing them?”

Lin Zuhua pointed to the two releasing rods placed at the stern of the fishing boat. There had been no movement for several hours.

"How far away did you put it?"

Zhao Dahai looked up and saw that Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua had let go of their fishing rods.

I and Zhong Shizhu caught sea bass, which proves that there must be fish in the flowing water. The only difference is that there are more fish in some places and fewer fish in some places.

Except for two sea bass weighing 20 to 30 kilograms that Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua caught at the beginning, there had been no fish taking the bait for several hours.

There is something very wrong with this.

"About 100 to 120 meters. Is there any problem with that?"

Lin Zuhua was very puzzled and didn't know why Zhao Dahai asked this question. Fish can be released quite far away, three or four hundred meters is not a common practice, but generally speaking, they are not released that far away, one hundred to one hundred and twenty meters is more than enough.

"Is there really anything wrong with this?"

Ding Chongshan glanced at Zhao Dahai. Both he and Lin Zuhua felt that this distance was not a big problem.

"I rarely go fishing with drift, most of the time I go fishing with covered streams or fixed spots."

“But I think if there are no fish at a certain distance, you have to put it farther away, or get closer.”

"The wind is strong right now, so it's hard to tell where the fish are. The spot you're fishing in is not like the spot Uncle Shizhu and I just fished in. There's a certain amount of swirling tide."

Zhao Dahai didn't know how Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua caught the fish, but from what he said, it seemed that the fish was only placed between 100 and 120 meters away.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua looked at each other, then smiled bitterly.

"What on earth is going on with those two? How could they forget such a simple thing?"

Ding Chongshan really didn't know what to say. Both he and Lin Zuhua had been fishing for many years and were not without experience. This was just a very simple thing, but they just didn't expect it.

"What can I say?"

"You haven't been out fishing for many years, so this is a little bit reasonable. But I've been out fishing in recent years, so this is really a little bit unreasonable."

Lin Zuhua didn't even know what to say.

Ding Chongshan immediately stood up, walked to the stern of the fishing boat, opened the spool, and continued to let out the line.

Lin Zuhua suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Ding Chongshan's pole.

One hundred and fifty meters and no movement!

One hundred and seventy meters and no movement!

One hundred and ninety meters and no movement!

Two hundred meters!
The pole in front of Ding Chongshan bent sharply!
"Yo!"

“There really is a fish!”

Lin Zuhua stood up suddenly and strode to Ding Chongshan.

"What fish?"

"Is it big? Is it big?"

Lin Zuhua kept asking questions.

"big!"

"This fish is quite big!"

"I'm sure you won't lose 70 or 80 kilograms!"

Ding Chongshan was very excited and his face turned red all of a sudden.

The fish that was hooked was really big and very strong. It dragged the line forward and in the blink of an eye it had already gone twenty meters.

"What the hell!"

"Is it this big? It can't be a sea bass. What kind of fish is it? It can't be a mackerel or something else?"

Lin Zuhua's eyes suddenly widened.

"what!"

"Now I really don't know what kind of fish it is, but it is definitely a big fish, and it must be swimming very fast, otherwise it wouldn't be like this!"

Ding Chongshan became more and more excited as he spoke.

The fishing rod for drift fishing is inserted into the side hole of the fishing boat. No matter how big the fish is, the force of pulling is borne by the fishing boat. There is no need to control it yourself, which is very comfortable.

Ding Chongshan now wished that the fish he had hooked weighed two or three hundred kilograms. Anyway, he didn't need to deal with it himself. He just needed to control the unloading force of the spinning reel.

"We should reel the fish in now, right? It has already moved over a hundred meters. If it keeps moving like this, who knows where it will end up."

Lin Zuhua saw that the hooked fish had already run away for nearly a hundred meters, and reminded Ding Chongshan that he had to reel in the line to pull the fish back, otherwise, the fish might really run away for three or four hundred meters.

"This fish is quite big. We need to fish it out for a while. It's not easy to pull it back online now. We may lose it."

Ding Chongshan was a little hesitant. The fish had indeed run quite a distance, but it still seemed very strong. If he started to reel in the fish now, there was a real possibility that the fish would run away.

"Uncle Ding!"

"We have to reel in the fish."

"If we continue to let out the line, it's very likely that the fish will escape more easily."

Zhao Dahai saw that Ding Chongshan did not reel in the line, and walked over quickly. The fish was now very far away from the fishing boat, so they had to reel in the line and pull the fish in. At least they couldn't let the fish keep running forward, otherwise it would be very difficult to deal with it.
