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

Chapter 1089 Missed it again!

"The location of the shipwreck."

"One hundred and eighty-five meters deep."

"One hundred and eighty meters to the bottom."

Zhao Dahai was very familiar with Fengchejiao. He knew the location of various points here without looking at the fish finder navigation. The first one he tried was a small shipwreck. Such places were very complicated and very easy to get stuck on the bottom, but he knew this place very well. After parking the speedboat, he immediately shouted to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and Lin Zuhua to knock on the bottom to fish. It was inevitable that some people would get stuck on the bottom, but in most cases, at least three out of the five people could successfully knock on the bottom without getting stuck. If there were fish here, they would definitely bite the hook.

"Hang on the bottom!"

"It's really easy to get stuck in a place like a shipwreck."

Lin Zuhua was the first to hit the bottom but immediately found that his hook was stuck on the seabed. He did not pull it off abruptly, but shouted to Zhao Dahai helplessly that he was not fishing alone here now and had to wait for Zhao Dahai and Lei Dayou to hit the bottom before he could pull the line, otherwise it would most likely scare the fish in the sea.

"Wealth is found in danger."

"This is how it is when fishing for a wreck. You either hit the bottom or you catch a fish. It's much easier to get stuck than fishing for a reef hole."

Zhao Dahai gently lifted the rod in his hand twice, and it didn't move. It was exactly the same as Lin Zuhua, it was stuck on the bottom. Strong winds and waves, and the accelerated flow of sea water often cause huge shocks and changes to the structure of such places, with a huge impact. I thought there wouldn't be too many people, probably just one or two. I didn't expect that two people had hit the bottom at once.

Like Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin, the fish was hooked as soon as the bottom was hit. Only Lei Dayou did not get hooked after hitting the bottom. He pulled the rod up twice and a fish took the bait, but judging from the degree of bend of the rod, the fish was not big.

"Twenty pounds!"

"This fish weighs at most 20 kilograms."

"If it's red spot, it can be worth a lot of money, but judging from this, it's probably not red spot. It's sesame spot or blue spot at best. If it's blue spot, we can still sell it for a little more money. If it's sesame spot, this fish will be much cheaper."

Lei Dayou looked at the pole on the gun mount in front of him and shook his head. The fish was not big. Judging from the strength of the fish's struggle and the shaking of the pole, it was unlikely to be a red spot fish, but most likely a sesame spot fish.

"It's a good thing to have fish. How can you catch big fish every day? Even if we caught a 20-pound sesame fish with this rod, it's a good thing. Isn't it a partial return on today's gas money?"

Zhao Dahai was very calm. This is how it is when you go out to sea. Sometimes you can catch a lot of fish, and sometimes you can catch only a few. Judging from the first fish I caught today, it is not easy to catch fish here at Fengchejiao, even if there are fish.

"Correct!"

"What are you so anxious about?"

"This is our first time fishing today. Maybe one or two hours later we'll see some fish bite, and the bite will be very strong."

Liu Bin was a little worried, but he didn't say it.

"Come on, come on."

"Why do you need to know or think so much? You have caught so many fish every time you go out to sea. It is normal to catch no fish once or twice. We should seize the time to fish and catch as many as we can."

Lin Zuhua and Zhao Dahai and their people caught a lot of fish, so it was not surprising that they couldn't catch any fish here today. The fishing line that was hanging on the bottom was pulled and tangled on the sheep's horns.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all laughed at once. What he said was absolutely correct.

Zhao Dahai waited for a while, and the fish caught by Lei Dayou was pulled out of the water. It was really a sesame-colored fish weighing about 18 to 20 kilograms. It was really not too big.

Zhong Shizhu took the fish caught by the scoop net, carried it to the deck, took out the pliers, removed the hook, checked to see if it was not bloated, and pushed it into the live hold.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat and cut the line that was stuck on the bottom. Instead of casting the rod again, he drove the speedboat to another place. Once the shipwreck was stuck on the bottom, especially after four people were stuck on the bottom and the line was cut, the movement on the seabed was very loud, and the fish were frightened. There was no point in casting the rod again, as the fish here would not bite the hook again in a short time.

The sun is about to set.

The light over the entire sea surface was getting dimmer and dimmer.

Zhao Dahai looked up at the sky and shouted loudly to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to pack up their fishing rods. They said that fishing would stop here today and there was no need to go any further. It was not that they were tired but the situation at Fengchejiao today was not what they had imagined. It was not that there were no fish but that there were really not many fish. The five of them were busy for most of the day, but the total amount of fish they caught was only about 600 to 700 kilograms, and most of them were smaller and not very valuable sesame-colored fish. There was not a single red-colored fish and not a single large blue-colored fish.

"It's been a long time since we caught so few fish. Why can't I remember a time when we caught so few fish?"

Zhong Shizhu put away the fishing rod and looked down at the live water tank right next to his feet. The lid was open and the fish inside could be seen clearly. There were really very few of them.

"Correct!"

"I really can't remember that every time we go out to sea, we only catch 600 to 700 kilograms of fish."

Lei Dayou frowned and thought carefully for a long time, but he really couldn't remember when he had caught so few fish.

"What can we do? It's almost dark now. There aren't many fish biting here today. Even if we fish until tomorrow morning, we won't get any good catch. We might as well just give up fishing."

Liu Bin was very helpless. He caught too few fish today.

"It seems that no matter what the matter is, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Fishing is the same."

"We have caught a lot of fish recently. Even on days when the fish in the sea were not biting, our speedboat still caught quite a lot of fish, at least three to five thousand kilograms."

"Today I caught 600 to 700 kilograms of fish. This is unbearable."

Zhao Dahai laughed.

Windmill Cape was obviously affected by the strong winds and waves, but this effect was not that there were a lot of fish, but rather that there were very few fish, or even if there were fish, they would not bite.

No matter what, we won’t be able to catch many fish here today.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou have been fishing with me for the past few months and have caught a lot of fish. They have gradually become accustomed to having a good harvest and making a lot of money every time they go out to sea. The six or seven hundred kilograms of fish they caught today is actually not a small amount, but it is a lot less than other times, and they cannot accept it all at once.

"Zhongshizhu!"

"It's true that we didn't catch many fish today, but didn't the other speedboats around us catch even fewer fish? From this point of view, today's catch is actually very good."

Lin Zuhua thought it was a little funny. What Zhao Dahai said was actually not wrong. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were able to catch a lot of fish almost every time they went out to sea. At the least, they could catch two or three thousand kilograms of fish. Today, they only caught a few hundred kilograms of grouper. They were very uncomfortable and felt that they caught too few fish and made too little money. However, there were really not many fish here at Fengchejiao today. The other speedboats caught even fewer fish, and most of them only caught one or two fish. In comparison, Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu actually caught a lot of fish.

Zhao Dahai watched Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou pack up their things, then immediately drove the speedboat away from Fengchejiao and rushed back to the big fishing boat.

"what?"

"How come we only caught so few fish today?"

Ding Dawen watched Zhao Dahai's speedboat come back and immediately called people to come over to work. Unexpectedly, they finished the work in less than half an hour. He was very surprised and scratched the back of his head in disbelief. At the same time, he stared at the live water tank of the speedboat with wide eyes. It was empty, without a single fish.

"Ha!" "Boss Lin! Zhao Dahai!"

"Look, look! We are not the only ones who think that we caught fewer fish today. Doesn't Ding Dawen also think that we caught too few fish?"

Liu Bin said this as he climbed up the ladder to the fishing boat.

Ding Dawen's eyes widened as he really couldn't believe that he and his men had only caught so many fish after a whole day out at sea. He even thought about getting on the speedboat to check if he was kidding.

"Brother Dawen."

"Today there are really only a few fish islands and reefs. The water flow there is not good and there is not much rain. We went there to take a look and then left Fengchejiao. What we didn't expect was that the fish there didn't bite much today."

"That's really all I caught in the day."

Zhao Dahai went onto the deck of the fishing boat and immediately saw a large foam box. He didn't pay much attention at first, because it was a box for fish, and it was normal to have such things on a fishing boat. But he soon realized that something was wrong, because the box was very large. The key point was that there were usually no other fish on this fishing boat, and it was only useful for the fish that they brought back from fishing.

"Brother Dawen."

"Why is there such a big box here? What's inside it?"

Zhao Dahai pointed to the big box on the deck.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou saw that there was indeed a very large box. This was a box specially prepared to hold big fish. Generally, it was placed in the cabin, but now it was placed on the deck of the fishing boat.

Lin Zuhua boarded the fishing boat and did not notice the large box on the deck. He immediately walked towards the cab. But after Zhao Dahai said this, he immediately turned around and took a look. He felt something was not right.

"Ding Dawen."

"What on earth is this?"

Lin Zuhua felt more and more uneasy. Such a big box placed on the deck must be used to hold fish. For fish of normal size, such a big box would not be enough. There was no need to waste it. If it was really used to hold fish, it could only be a big fish. However, this box was more than two meters long. If it was really used to hold a fish, it would have to be a really big fish.

"Boss Lin."

"You just went fishing with Zhao Dahai's speedboat this morning. Didn't I have nothing to do?"

"Just go fishing and kill some time."

"A few days ago, I saw you and my uncle fishing with the drift method. We tried it out, but we didn't expect a fish to bite the hook right after we cast the rod. It was a big fish. We spent half a day fishing it. Now it's in this box."

Ding Dawen felt a little embarrassed.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou looked at each other. They all understood from Ding Dawen's words that he had caught a big fish, and it was a mackerel.

"No way? How is this possible?"

"Could it be possible that there really is a giant mackerel in here?"

……

"It's impossible for Ding Dawen to have such good luck, right?"

……

"We went out to sea today and worked hard for a whole day but didn't catch many fish! Ding Dawen stayed on this fishing boat and caught a big mackerel with just a few handfuls of sugarcane?"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou couldn't believe what Ding Dawen meant.

Zhao Dahai strode over, opened the box, wiped off the ice on top, revealing the fish underneath.

"Dry!"

“It really is a mackerel.”

"It's really big!"

Zhao Dahai looked very strange. Ding Dawen not only caught a big mackerel, but this mackerel was really big. He had caught a similar big mackerel before, but it seemed that this one was not much different.

"Yo!"

"This mackerel must be nearly two meters long, right?"

……

"big!"

"It's really big!"

……

"The one Ding Chongshan caught can't compare to this one, right?"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou gathered around and looked at the huge mackerel in the alley, and couldn't believe their eyes.

Lin Zuhua walked step by step to the front of the box and looked down. There was really a mackerel in it, and it was really a huge mackerel. It looked very likely to be bigger and heavier than the one Ding Chongshan caught.

"How is that possible?"

"How could this happen? How could I miss such a big mackerel when I was only out fishing for a day?"

Lin Zuhua really couldn't figure out what was going on.

The last time he came here to fish with Ding Chongshan, the two of them fished for a long time but no fish took the hook. When Zhao Dahai said so, Ding Chongshan immediately let out the line and ended up catching a huge mackerel. He was very dissatisfied and went back only half a day later, so he came here to fish again immediately. However, he was thinking of going to Fengche Cape to catch a big grouper. As a result, Ding Dawen casually caught a mackerel here, and it was very big, which was exactly the fish he wanted to catch here.

Lin Zuhua's mind went blank. For a moment he didn't know what to think or what to say.
