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

Chapter 1187 Someone will be depressed!

The sky slowly began to brighten.

The sun rose, the entire sea was open, and the visibility was very good.

Zhao Dahai took a look and found that there were really not many speedboats around. Needless to say, there wouldn't be many people coming here to fish today.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that there were no sea bass in the island and reef foam area yesterday or that the number of sea bass caught was very small. But today most speedboats or even the vast majority of speedboats will choose to go to the island and reef foam area or other places to fish for sea bass, and will not come to the artificial island and reef to fish for grouper.

After several days, the grouper here really didn't bite much and few people could catch it.

This situation will have to wait for a few days until the news of people on other speedboats who come here to fish catch fish spreads back. Only when the news spreads will more speedboats come here to fish one after another.

"Zhao Dahai."

“In a few days, this place might be full of speedboats!”

Zhong Shizhu looked at the open sea in front of him. Only in the distance could he vaguely see a few black spots, which must be the fishing speedboats.

The speedboats that came here to fish today are expected to catch fish. They will not shout loudly that they can catch fish on the artificial islands and reefs when they go back. Only people with very good relationships know this news. However, as time goes by, in two or three days or five or six days, the news will definitely spread. One reason is that everyone has their own good friends, and the other reason is that people who catch fish will definitely sell the fish when they return to the dock. This kind of thing cannot be concealed. When those who go out to sea to fish see this kind of scene, they know that there must be fish in the sea, and big fish. As long as they ask around, they will know what is going on and know that fish are starting to appear on the artificial islands and reefs.

It would be good if you could catch a lot of sea bass in places like the island and reef foam area, but if you can't catch any sea bass or even the traditional grouper fishing spots like the Windmill Foot fishing spot, all the topics about fishing will come together and everyone will come to the artificial island and reef.

This situation is actually the same as the current island reef foam area or other sea bass fishing spots are crowded with various speedboats.

"We have to fish here as hard as we can in the next few days. We should catch more fish before the other speedboats react. If this place is crowded with speedboats, it will be difficult for us to fish!"

Liu Bin stared at the pole on the gun carriage as he spoke. It had been about ten minutes without any movement. Just as he was wondering whether to pull up the pole or knock it on the bottom again to give it a try, it suddenly bent without any warning.

Liu Bin was talking but his mind was always focused on the pole. He quickly stretched out his hand and pushed the electric reel hard.

"I'm coming!"

"Another big one!"

Liu Bin took a look at the degree of bending of the rod and knew that the fish caught would be no less than 60 kilograms.

"All the groupers we caught here today were over 50 kilograms in size, not a single small one!"

"Could it be that all the groupers here today are big?"

Lei Dayou thought about it carefully and found that it was true. Today, his men caught a lot of big grouper, and all of them weighed more than 50 kilograms.

"what!"

"You know what, that's exactly what happened. The groupers we caught here today were all really big!"

"There really isn't a single one that weighs less than 50 kilograms!"

"What's going on?"

Zhong Shizhu was stunned for a moment, but it was true. The groupers he caught today were all very big.

"Uncle Shizhu, have you noticed that the number of giant groupers we caught here today is actually not that many!"

"We won't catch more than twenty groupers now."

"It's been several hours. If it were before, we would have caught at least fifty fish."

"But most of the fifty groupers we caught before were small ones weighing a few kilograms or more than ten kilograms."

“The number of groupers caught today is not large, but they are all very large.”

"There are six that weigh 100 kilograms. Adding them together, they weigh almost 800 kilograms."

"The others are all over 50 kilograms!"

“The number of fish caught was not large, but in total, at least about 2,000 kilograms of grouper were caught.”

Zhao Dahai reminded Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that although they caught a few big groupers today, the weight was quite good. They had just finished fishing in the morning, and by the evening, it would not be a big problem to catch a grouper weighing four or five thousand kilograms.

"Correct!"

"The groupers we caught here today were all really big!"

"What's going on? Why did all the people who don't have small groupers run away to other places? This is unlikely."

"Could it be that these small groupers don't eat anything?"

Zhong Shizhu was even more puzzled now. The situation before him really made him unable to understand what was going on.

If there are big groupers, there must be small groupers, and there are definitely more small groupers than big ones.

A grouper that weighs more than 50 kilograms is considered very large, not to mention those that weigh 80 kilograms or even more than 100 kilograms.

For almost half a year, Lei Dayou, Liu Bin and Zhao Dahai came here to fish for grouper. Basically, we caught small ones, and only occasionally some big ones. Like today, all of them were over 50 kilograms in size, which is really rare.

"There is one thing you may have noticed, that is, after we catch these groupers, it takes a while for them to bite. Sometimes it takes ten minutes, and sometimes we even have to wait for 20 to 30 minutes before we can catch a fish."

Zhao Dahai did not answer Zhong Shizhu directly, but talked about another matter. "Oh?"

"Could it be that when there are more small groupers, the fish are densely packed and you can catch one in a short time, but if it is a large grouper, it will take some time to catch it?"

Liu Bin reacted very quickly and figured out what Zhao Dahai meant immediately. As he spoke, he couldn't help but think back to the groupers he had caught recently and found that this was indeed the case.

"Correct!"

"That's the situation!"

"When there are more small groupers, the bites are not only stronger, but also very dense. We can catch one in a short time. On the contrary, if there are more large groupers, the bites are very sparse, and it takes a long time to catch one."

"Why did this happen?"

"There are definitely large groupers and small ones in one place, but generally there is only one large grouper and several small ones."

"Large groupers are generally more cautious and less likely to take the bait, but once the big groupers in the sea start to bite like crazy, the big groupers will desperately drive away the other small groupers."

"It's not that there are no small groupers on the seabed now, it's just that the small groupers have been driven to other places."

"Now if you want to catch small groupers, you can't fish at the proper spots. Instead, you have to fish not far from the proper spots, such as five or six meters, seven or eight meters, or even more than ten meters away. In this way, you may be able to catch small groupers."

"But then again, we don't need to do this kind of thing. It does take a little longer to catch a large grouper, but the price of a large grouper is the price of seven, eight or even a dozen small groupers."

"If you calculate the cost, it is definitely more cost-effective to catch big grouper."

Zhao Dahai didn’t quite understand this at first. He could catch grouper at one spot, and all of them were big ones, but it took a lot of time.

Zhao Dahai pondered for a long time before he realized what was going on. He let go of the small groupers and simply went straight to fishing for the big ones. It did take a little longer. Sometimes it took half an hour or even forty minutes to catch a grouper. However, these groupers were all over fifty or sixty kilograms, and some even weighed over a hundred kilograms.

"Why would I need to think about that? I have to catch a big grouper. That's really worth it!"

"It seems like we caught a lot of small groupers, but their combined weight is not as much as a large one, not to mention the price!"

Zhong Shizhu suddenly understood what was going on. No wonder Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry at all. He stayed at one spot for a long time, thinking about catching these big groupers.

"If we didn't catch big groupers, we would have to change fishing spots more frequently so that we could catch more fish. But today we caught only big groupers, so it's worthwhile to spend more time. There's no need to keep changing fishing spots."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and pushed the switch of the electric reel, which started to turn immediately and began to reel in the line. He took a look at the curve of the rod and knew without pulling it out of the water that this was definitely a grouper weighing about 80 kilograms.

"I feel like it's very easy to catch a big grouper like this. If we were to catch a small grouper, we would be busy as hell right now."

Zhong Shizhu lit a cigarette and took a deep puff, then picked up the website and stood beside Liu Bin. The hooked fish was almost pulled out of the water. It was so big that it was difficult for one person to pull it onto the speedboat, so he needed help.

"Correct!"

"Don't think that we caught quite a few groupers today, but I really don't feel tired at all."

"Why do so many people want to catch big fish instead of sea bass or black porgy? It's because catching big fish is relatively easier and doesn't require so much physical effort, but the money earned is just as good."

Lei Dayou discovered this.

"Isn't what you said nonsense? Whether you are a fisherman or an angler, who doesn't want to catch big fish? Who doesn't want to fish for big fish?"

"One big fish can equal ten small fish. Who wouldn't want to do something like this?"

Liu Bin watched a large grouper weighing about 60 to 70 kilograms being pulled out of the water and to the side of the speedboat. He saw Zhong Shizhu reach out the scoop net to catch the fish and loosen the line. Liu Bin and Zhong Shizhu pulled the fish onto the deck together, removed the hook, checked to see if there was any flatulence, and pushed the fish into the live water tank.

"If Boss Wu and Boss Gao knew that we caught all these big groupers today, what would they think?"

After helping to scoop up the fish, Zhong Shizhu immediately returned to his fishing spot and stared at the rod on the gun stand.

"Is there any need to say this? You must be very regretful."

"When we went out to sea early in the morning, Boss Wu and Boss Gao wanted to go fishing with us, but they changed their minds in the end."

"If we didn't catch any fish this time, especially big ones, Boss Wu and Boss Gao wouldn't think it was a big deal. But now we not only caught fish, but all of them were big groupers. Boss Wu and Boss Gao will definitely regret it."

Liu Bin checked his hook and found no problem. He hooked a new octopus on it and threw it into the sea to continue fishing.

Zhao Dahai smiled. What Liu Bin said was right. If they had not caught these giant groupers weighing over 100 kilograms today, Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng would not have had any thoughts. But now they had caught giant groupers weighing over 100 kilograms. Especially since they had caught several so far, they would definitely be able to catch more giant groupers if they continued fishing tonight.

"If Boss Wu and Boss Gao saw the fish we caught, they would definitely think they missed a good opportunity to catch a big fish."

"But then again, Boss and Boss Gao are almost back at the dock."

"If Ding Dawen's fishing boat had been going faster, it might have already reached the dock."

“If we wait for them to go out to sea in a speedboat, we’ll be trolling for mackerel.”

"Boss Hu and Boss Gao are different from the rest of us in that they fish just to catch big fish, just for fun."

"From their perspective, a giant mackerel weighing over 100 kilograms is much more fun to play than a giant grouper weighing over 100 kilograms."

Zhao Dahai knew that Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng must be very depressed when they saw that they had caught so many big groupers today, but Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng must think that trolling for giant mackerel was more exciting and fun.
