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

Chapter 1185 A wrong decision?

Zhao Dahai put away his fishing rod and looked at the time. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Uncle Shizhu."

"Let's go home early today!"

Zhao Dahai said as he glanced at the live water tank at his feet.

You can't catch many sea bass in the island reef foam area, but I came to this fishing spot that I accidentally discovered and fished for almost seven hours.

Today’s catch cannot be said to be extremely good, but it is not bad at all. In total, there are about 5,000 kilograms of sea bass.

Although it’s not too big, it’s not small at all.

It is actually very popular in the market and can be sold no matter how it is sold.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Isn't it still early? Why don't we go to the artificial island and cast a few casts to see if the fish in the sea are biting!"

Zhong Shizhu looked up at the sky. The sun was still high in the sky and it was still very early. There were not many sea bass here, so there was no need to continue fishing. However, he could go to the artificial islands and reefs to see if the groupers there were biting.

We did catch a lot of sea bass, but the really valuable ones are the giant grouper. I haven't caught any in the past few days, and I've been thinking about it.

"Correct!"

"We go to the artificial islands and reefs, and if we can catch fish, we go fishing. If we can't catch fish, we go back."

……

"It's so early, there's nothing to do back in the fishing boat, so I might as well continue fishing."

……

Liu Bin and Lei Dayou both felt that they should go to the artificial island reef to take a look, or go somewhere else to continue fishing for a while and wait until it was almost dark before returning to the fishing boat.

"We won't go to the artificial islands today. We'll wait until 3 a.m. tomorrow to go out to sea and see if the groupers have opened their mouths."

Zhao Dahai shook his head and told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that Ding Dawen would return to the dock early tomorrow morning, so go back early today, rest early, and wait to go out to sea early tomorrow.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou didn't say anything else and quickly packed up their rods and other things.

Zhao Dahai watched Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou pack up their things and drive the speedboat back to the fishing boat.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were strolling on the deck of a fishing boat when they saw Zhao Dahai's express delivery and immediately walked to the side of the fishing boat.

"How was your fishing today? Did you catch any grouper?"

While shouting loudly, Shi Guangming looked down at the speedboat. The open live water tank was full of sea bass, and he frowned.

"No!"

“We didn’t go to the artificial islands today.”

"All the fish we caught were sea bass. They were not too big, only about 5-6 catties or 7-8 catties. Most of them were under 10 kg!"

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he walked up the ladder to the deck of the fishing boat.

"Are they all sea bass? Are there no other fish?"

Zhao Shi watched Ding Dawen directing people to hoist the sea bass onto the deck. The fish were indeed not big, and there were basically no sea bass weighing more than 20 kilograms.

"Correct!"

"Today's sea bass are all relatively small. These are all sea bass caught from other places. They are not sea bass caught in the island reef foam area."

Qi Dahai said that there were not only a lot of speedboats in the island and reef foam area today, but also there were really no fish. He and Zhong Shizhu and others noticed that something was not right, so they immediately changed places. They just found a fishing spot for sea bass yesterday and caught these sea bass.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Shi."

"Although the sea bass we caught today were not too big, the total number of sea bass we caught today was quite large."

"No matter what, it looks like 5,000 kilograms!"

Zhao Dahai smiled. Although he didn't catch any grouper today, he did catch quite a few sea bass.

Other people, let alone catching 5,000 kilograms of sea bass, would be so exhausted from laughing even if they could catch 500 kilograms of sea bass in a day.

You should be very happy that you caught so many sea bass.

Everyone knows that catching a 5,000-jin grouper can fetch more money, but this kind of thing doesn't happen every day.

Zhao Dahai goes fishing every day and catches a lot of fish every day. Sometimes he catches fewer fish, but he has gotten used to it and has a very good attitude.

"Correct!"

"It's amazing to catch so many sea bass. I can make a lot of money. I can't ask for too much."

Shi Guangming was stunned for a moment, then nodded. What Zhao Dahai said was right. Being able to catch so many fish, no matter it was sea bass or any other fish, even mullet, he could make a lot of money. There was nothing to complain about.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Is it true that there are only sea bass today? No grouper caught?"

Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng heard the sound and walked out of the cabin, talking and yawning. They had stayed up all night and slept for a long time during the day, but they still felt a little tired.

"Correct!"

"I didn't go to the artificial islands and reefs to fish for grouper today."

"Rest early today, go out to sea early tomorrow, and go directly to the artificial islands and reefs to see if we can catch grouper."

"Brother Da Wen's fishing boat went straight back to the dock."

"Are you two following me out to sea to fish, or are you following the fishing boat back to the dock?"

Zhao Dahai glanced at Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng.

Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin were a little hesitant.

What Zhao Dahai meant clearly was that they should go to the artificial island early tomorrow morning to see if the grouper would speak.

The grouper has not bitten for several days, but once it bites, it bites like crazy. In other words, there is a high probability of catching a grouper tomorrow, and a big one at that.

If the two of them didn't go fishing with Zhao Dahai early tomorrow morning, they would probably miss such an opportunity.

But you can't be sure about such things. You might not catch a single grouper in the whole day, let alone a big one.

If they don't go back to the dock, they will have to find someone else to get the speedboat out. Although the location where Ding Dawen's fishing boat is docked is not a secret, they still have to try their best not to let others know. Another person also has to buy a trolling rod and so on. It would be more appropriate for the two of them to go back alone for these things.

Wu Weiming and Gao Zhicheng discussed for a while, gritted their teeth and made up their minds that they would not follow Zhao Dahai's speedboat to go fishing tomorrow but follow Ding Dawen's fishing boat back to the dock.

Zhao Dahai nodded and said nothing. There was really nothing to say about this matter. It was possible that he would be able to catch big fish if he went out to sea tomorrow, but it was also possible that he would not catch any big fish.

After Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou finished their work, they took a shower and had their meal, then went back to sleep immediately.

Ding Dawen led his men to check the fishing boat, especially the fish in the live water tank. They had to make adequate preparations when they returned early tomorrow morning.

"Second Uncle Zhao."

"Should we go back with the fishing boat tomorrow? Or should we go out to sea with Zhao Dahai's speedboat?"

Wu Weimin glanced at Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming.

"Why don't we both go back and take a look? I'm still a little worried about that fish paddock."

Zhao Shi pondered for a moment and looked at Shi Guangming who was standing next to him.

Neither he nor Shi Guangming likes fishing. Even if they go out to sea with Zhao Dahai's speedboat, they are just helping out and catching fish. There is no difference between him and Shi Guangming, and there is no difference between him and Shi Guangming.

It would be better to go back and check on the fish fillets. You know, in recent days, only Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu are in charge of the fish fillets, which makes me a little worried.

"Correct!"

"Let's go back and take a look at what's going on with the fish farm."

Shi Guangming nodded without thinking, he really wanted to go back and see what the condition of the fish farm was like.

There are a lot of fish in the fish rack.

He, Zhao Shi and Ding Xiaoxiang had discussed it and decided that they had to let go so that Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu could manage the entire fish farm. But no matter what, Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu were not very experienced. They had been out to sea for a few days and didn't know what the situation was like there, so it would be better to go and take a look.

"what!"

"What's there to worry about?"

"There are so many people in that place! And Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang are very famous now?"

"Who would dare to go to the fish farm and cause trouble without seeing anything?"

Wu Weimin knew that Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were a little worried about the fish fillets, but there was really no need to worry about this matter.

"There's nothing else to do anyway, so if the fishing boat wants to go back, then let's go back and take a look!"

Gao Zhicheng felt that this matter was nothing. There was nothing special about Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi going back with a fishing boat. They just felt more comfortable staying here after going out to sea. If they wanted to go back, they could go back. It was that simple.

"What the hell is going on? Our fishing rod has been here for such a long time, but not a single fish has taken a bite."

"From what we can see now, even if Ding Dawen takes action, there is no chance of catching any fish. He really needs to go back and drive the speedboat out, and then start trolling."

Gao Zhicheng pointed to the pole stuck in front of the fishing boat. He and Wu Weimin had been on duty all night last night, but had not caught any fish. They went to sleep during the day, but they did not sleep well. They got up every two or three hours to check, but still no fish.

"What can we do? It looks like there are really no mackerels near the fishing boat. Or maybe we have to wait two or three days before we can catch some."

"never mind!"

"There's no need to think about this."

"Zhao Dahai will go fishing at sea at three or four o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's drive Zhao Dahai's other speedboat over with me and get ready. We can just drift or troll for fishing."

Wu Weimin thought about it and simply walked over and put away the fishing rod. No mackerel had taken the bait for such a long time, so it was basically unlikely that there would be any mackerels near the fishing boat.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, holding large bowls and eating breakfast, left the cabin and walked onto the deck of the fishing boat.

"Yo!"

"Today's weather is pretty good, maybe we can actually catch some grouper!"

Zhong Shizhu looked at the sea. There were a few waves, but not big. This kind of weather was not very comfortable, especially for people who went out to sea to fish. But this kind of weather was definitely suitable for fishing.

"Correct!"

"what!"

"We've finally been waiting for weather like this. The sea was calm a few days ago, with not much wind and even no waves. It's really a bit uncomfortable!"

"Now that there are winds and waves, the groupers in the sea should be going crazy."

Liu Bin was very excited.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Maybe we really have to do something big today!"

"We need to bring more live shrimps, octopuses, crabs, and so on!"

Lei Dayou was talking as he quickly shoveled breakfast into his mouth, in order to fill his stomach as much as possible. Don't think of eating breakfast now, but it's all dry rice, and they are all big chunks of meat, so that he won't feel hungry until noon.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou finished their breakfast quickly and started to prepare. Some checked the speedboat, some refueled it, and prepared crabs, live shrimps and octopus, the baits for fishing grouper. They were all busy all of a sudden.

"Should we two go fishing on the speedboat?"

Gao Zhicheng looked at the busy Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou and was a little hesitant. In such weather, one could tell at a glance that it was possible to catch a big grouper, at least the grouper in the sea would bite.

What’s more important is that Zhao Dahai just said this very clearly.

"Forget it!"

"There's no need to worry about this. Even if the groupers in the sea bite today, even if we catch a big one, we may not be able to get one that weighs over 100 kilograms."

"Let's follow what we agreed to last night and go back to the dock and take Zhao Dahai's other speedboat out to sea. Then we'll look for Lin Zuhua and Ding Chongshan. The four of us will have a good trolling and fishing. We'll have a chance to catch big mackerel or other fish."

Wu Weimin thought about it for a long time, and finally decided that it would be better to go back. There was no need to go fishing at sea with Zhao Dahai's speedboat.

"Row."

"Then it's decided, let's go back!"

Gao Zhicheng pondered for a while. In fact, what Wu Weimin said made a lot of sense. There was really no need to follow Zhao Dahai's speedboat to go out to sea to fish for grouper. Trolling for mackerel or other big fish was what he wanted to do.

It's half past three in the morning.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou left the fishing boat in a speedboat and headed directly towards the artificial island reef.

Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng stood on the side of the fishing boat, watching Zhao Dahai's speedboat disappear, and for some reason they felt a little regretful.

"Gao Zhicheng."

"Why do I suddenly feel that we should follow Zhao Dahai's speedboat to go fishing? Not only is it possible to catch a lot of fish today, but it is also possible that they are all big fish."

Wu Weimin let out a long sigh.

"Zhao Dahai's speedboat has already left. There's no point in talking about this now!"

"Let's talk about other things when we get back!"

Gao Zhicheng was silent for a while and nodded. Wu Weimin was right. He had the same feeling, but Zhao Dahai's speedboat had already gone out to sea to fish and was no longer visible.
