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

Chapter 1090 There are really no fish!

"Boss Lin."

"Going fishing at sea sometimes really depends on luck. If you are lucky, you can find a fishing spot no matter what. If you are unlucky, there is really nothing you can do!"

Zhao Dahai took a look and was a little stunned. He couldn't believe that there was a big fish in the box in front of him. Lin Zuhua really didn't know what to say.

Ding Dawen really doesn't have much experience in fishing, and can even be said to be a complete novice, but he really has unbeatable luck.

Lin Zuhua really came to the sea for the big-legged mackerel. What he didn't expect was that he hadn't fished here for just one day and was thinking of fishing for big grouper. As a result, Ding Dawen caught a fish, and this one was really big.

"Ugh!"

"Who told me to go fishing for the big grouper? If I had stayed here honestly, I would have caught this fish!"

Lin Zuhua regretted it very much.

Ding Dawen just said that the fish took the bait less than ten minutes after the fishing rod was lowered.

If I don't go out to sea to fish for big grouper, I will definitely cast my rod, and it is very likely that I will catch this fish.

If I were the one who caught this fish, I would definitely brag about it in front of Ding Chongshan when I get back, and I would have to brag about it for three days and three nights.

Now I didn't catch anything, but Ding Dawen was the one I caught. If Ding Chongshan knew about this when I got back, he would definitely not miss this opportunity and would laugh at me madly.

Lin Zuhua regretted it very much and couldn't help but slap his thigh hard.

"Boss Lin."

"What's the use of regretting now?"

"Besides, we've already caught so many mackerels here, and two of them are very big. There might be other, even bigger ones. At least there's still a chance to catch a big one!"

"I think you have to stay here for the next few days and don't go anywhere else. Otherwise, if a big mackerel appears again, you will miss it."

Liu Bin pointed to the giant mackerel in the box.

Lin Zuhua smiled bitterly.

What Liu Bin said was not wrong, but it was more of a self-comfort.

So many mackerels were caught here, two of which were so big. This place is where mackerels gather, so you can definitely catch some.

However, it is extremely difficult to catch a big mackerel, especially for people like Ding Chongshan and Ding Dawen.

Lin Zuhua has extensive experience in fishing and knows that there won't be too many fish of this size in one place. Maybe there are only two of them in the sea. Ding Chongshan caught one and Ding Dawen caught one.

It’s not that I have no chance at all, but the chance is really very small.

"Ugh!"

"What else can it be?"

"I will definitely not go anywhere in the next few days. I will just fish here and see if I can keep it!"

Lin Zuhua let out a long sigh. He really had to fish here for the next few days. He would not go anywhere else. No matter whether he could catch fish or not, he had to do it. He had no other choice.

Ding Dawen had already had the food prepared, and it was served immediately. There was no need to find another place to put it, but directly on the deck of the fishing boat so that everyone could gather around and eat.

Zhao Dahai ate in silence. In less than ten minutes, he filled his stomach with a bowl of freshly cooked hot fish soup. He took two sips and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Dawen."

"How many fish are there on the fishing boat now?"

"How many live tanks are still empty and can hold fish?"

Zhao Dahai turned his head and looked at Ding Dawen.

"Seventy to eighty percent of the live water tanks are filled with fish, some are grouper, but most are sea bass or black porgy caught during this period!"

Ding Dawen immediately told Zhao Dahai about the situation of the entire fishing boat's live water tank.

"Most of the fish caught during this period are sea bass or black porgy. Grouper doesn't account for a large proportion. These fish all need a lot of space."

"If this continues, the live water tanks on our fishing boats will soon be insufficient."

Ding Dawen knew that Zhao Dahai was preparing for the fishing moratorium that would begin soon. Otherwise, he would not have been able to catch so many sea bass and black porgy, which were not too expensive fish. He would usually catch such fish, but not mainly fish for them. He would only focus on fishing for more expensive fish such as grouper, and the limited live water tanks would all be used for more expensive fish. Or, if he caught such fish, he would return to the dock to sell them in a short time and would not keep them in his hands.

"The fish farm at the dock can be built in two or three days!"

"You will return to Shijiao Village Pier early the day after tomorrow."

“Most of the fish, especially sea bass and black bream, are unloaded in the cages at the fish farms.”

"We'll leave some of the valuable grouper on the fishing boat, and unload the rest into the fish cages. Xiaoxiang will explain how to do it later."

When Zhao Dahai went back yesterday, he had already discussed this matter with Ding Xiaoxiang. When Ding Dawen's fishing boat returns to the dock after the fish farm is ready, most of the fish, especially the sea bass and black porgy, will be unloaded and put into the fish cages for breeding. As for the grouper, only a part of it will be unloaded, and the really valuable big ones will be left on the fishing boat. When the fish in the cages are relatively mature and everything is normal, they will be unloaded one after another and put into the fish cages for breeding.

Ding Dawen nodded and said they would go back to Shijiao Village Pier early tomorrow morning.

When Zhong Shizhu saw that Zhao Dahai and Ding Dawen had finished talking about the important matter, he immediately asked whether they had seen many speedboats during the day.

"There are more speedboats today than yesterday. There are far more. At least fifty speedboats passed by me throughout the day."

Ding Dawen knew that Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu and others wanted to know about this matter, so he started paying attention to it early in the morning. Throughout the day, he counted more than fifty speedboats.

Zhong Shizhu frowned.

The entire sea surface is very wide. The speedboats sailing to the artificial islands and reefs do not have to pass by Ding Dawen’s fishing boat. Only a part of them can be seen. If there are already fifty speedboats, you can imagine how many speedboats are crowded at the artificial islands and reefs today.

"what!"

"Fortunately we didn't go to the artificial islands today, otherwise there would have been too many people!"

Liu Bin was a little happy.

"Humph!"

"What's there to be happy about? We went to the island reef foam area and the windmill foot area, but we still didn't catch many fish. Maybe we can catch more fish by going to the artificial island reef area."

Lei Dayou shook his head. He caught too few fish today, and he still feels a little upset and unhappy about it.

"what!"

"Lei Dayou." "You clearly mean that you want to catch 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms of fish every day when you go out to sea, or even more than 10,000 kilograms."

"You won't be happy if you don't catch so many fish!"

Lin Zuhua was very depressed. He didn't catch many fish today and missed the opportunity to catch giant mackerel. Now when he heard Lei Dayou's complaints, he couldn't help laughing.

"Ugh!"

"The fish we caught today were so stupid, it's really hard to accept!"

Lei Dayou chewed a bone.

"We only caught so few fish. The people on the other speedboats definitely didn't catch many fish."

"There's really nothing we can do about this kind of thing. There's no need to talk to him anymore. Let's have a good night's sleep and wait for tomorrow's fishing trip."

"As long as there are fish in the sea, we will be able to catch them."

Zhao Dahai knew that Lei Dayou, Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin all felt that they had caught too few fish today and had spent too much effort without much gain, but there was really no way to deal with this kind of situation.

"correct!"

"Brother Dawen."

"Will the speedboats that are sailing to the artificial islands and reefs return early today?"

Zhao Dahai thought of a very crucial question and immediately asked Ding Dawen.

“It’s all pretty early!”

"It wasn't completely dark at 5 or 6 o'clock, and I saw quite a few speedboats heading back here!"

Ding Dawen didn't need to think about telling Zhao Dahai immediately that not only did he see a lot of speedboats today, but they also went back very early.

"what!"

"It looks like the speedboats on the artificial islands and reefs didn't catch many fish today."

Lei Dayou was suddenly happy.

Whether you are fishing or trapping, once you catch a fish, you will never go back so early.

Ding Dawen just mentioned those speedboats from the artificial islands and reefs. They passed by here and rushed back at five or six o'clock before it got dark. They must have caught some fish, otherwise they would not have left the money unearned and gone home so early to sleep and eat.

"Zhao Dahai."

"It looks like the fish are not very good today no matter where they are."

"The impact of strong winds and waves is still very large."

Lin Zuhua finished his meal and felt full. His stomach was tired after a whole day and he felt really comfortable at this moment.

"Correct!"

"That's it."

“There are no fish in the foam area of ​​the island reefs, no fish in the windmill foot area, and no fish in the artificial island reefs.”

"It's really hard to catch fish during this time after strong winds and waves."

Zhao Dahai nodded. Looking at the situation today, it seems that there is really no place where fish are easy to catch.

"There are no fish in the sea or the fish are hard to catch."

Lin Zuhua took out a cigarette from his pocket, passed it around, lit one for himself, took a puff, and narrowed his eyes.

"After strong winds and waves, there will definitely be a lot of fish at the fishing spot, at least much more than usual. It's just that you can't catch them unless they bite."

"I have to work harder these days and travel to various fishing spots."

"Let's see when the fish start to bite at these fishing spots. I estimate it will take two or three days."

Zhao Dahai turned his head and looked at the dark sea.

Strong winds and waves cause the sea water to flow faster. The fish in one place will move to another place. Whether it is the island foam area, windmill waist or artificial island reefs, the increase in fish in these large fishing spots is all caused by the flow of tides from other places.

I didn’t catch many fish today, not because there are no fish in the sea but because the fish didn’t bite.

You really have to go out more often for a few days. You never know when the fish at these fishing spots will bite like crazy. Once you miss such an opportunity, you will catch fewer fish.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all nodded vigorously. With many years of fishing experience, they knew that what Zhao Dahai said was right. Fish might be difficult to catch in the next few dozen days, but you never know when the fish will suddenly become very easy to catch, and they absolutely cannot miss such an opportunity.

"Boss Lin."

"You don't need to follow us out to sea to fish these few days. Just stay here on the fishing boat."

"One is that we may have to go to several fishing spots in the next few days. If there are fish, it may take a long time to fish, which will be more tiring."

"Another one, there are so many swordfish here, there must be more."

"There may not be big ones, but there will definitely be small ones."

"You went out to sea this time just to catch mackerel. You can't miss such a good opportunity. You have to stay here."

Zhao Dahai looked at Lin Zuhua. In the next few days, let alone going out early and returning late, it is possible to fish for a day and a night, or even longer. He and Zhong Shizhu are used to such hardships, so it doesn't matter much, but Lin Zuhua will definitely not be able to bear it. More importantly, there are really mackerels in this place. If Lin Zuhua's goal is to catch big mackerels, he must stay here on the fishing boat and can't go anywhere else. If he misses the opportunity, it will be really difficult to catch mackerels.

"Row!"

"I will stay here for the next few days and will not go anywhere else to see if I can have good luck and catch a big mackerel."

Lin Zuhua knew that what Zhao Dahai said was right. If he wanted to catch big mackerel, he really couldn't go anywhere else. He had to release the fish here every day and wait here to see if there was any chance. If there was no chance here, there would be no chance anywhere else.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou finished their meal, rested for a while and went back to the cabin to sleep. They had to get up at four in the morning tomorrow to go fishing.

After Lin Zuhua finished his meal, he rested for a while. Ding Dawen and the other man got ready together. They put the small cleaned fish on the fishing rod and put it into the sea. After waiting for almost two hours without any movement, they went back to sleep.

Ding Dawen yawned, returned to the cab, sat on the chair, and looked at the sea around him from time to time. When he couldn't stand it anymore, he would take a nap.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Ding Dawen yawned and stood up, rubbed his face hard, took a few gulps of strong tea, perked up, went to the kitchen of the fishing boat to see that the food was ready, and immediately called Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to get up. After breakfast, they had to go out to sea to fish.
