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

Chapter 1197: They are all small fish

Four o'clock in the morning.

Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong walked out of the sleeping cabin while yawning, and looked at the sea next to them. Zhao Dahai's speedboat had already been brightly lit, and several people were busy on it.

"Everyone knows that Zhao Dahai has made a lot of money."

"But who knew that Zhao Dahai and his team worked so hard?"

Wu Weimin sighed a little.

Zhao Dahai did catch a lot of fish and made a lot of money. Many people even think that if they can make so much money, it doesn’t matter how hard they work. But in fact, it is not that simple.

If it's just one or two days of hard work, it's not a big problem and anyone can persist.

But for one month, two months, one year or two years, it is definitely not an easy thing.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu and others went fishing until after twelve o'clock yesterday, and then returned to the fishing boat, ate, and went to sleep. Now, it is four o'clock in the morning and they have already woken up.

Day after day, year after year, this is really not something that ordinary people can do.

"It's not that easy to make money."

"Zhao Dahai can earn so much money, it's worth it no matter how hard it is, it's a good deal. There's nothing more to say!"

Ding Chongshan looked at Zhao Dahai who was checking the things that Ye Hai needed on the speedboat. This was no joke, it was really hard work, but being able to earn so much money was already very good.

Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin and others ate quickly to fill their stomachs, then immediately got on Zhao Dahai's express delivery and set out to sea.

Ding Dawen stood on the fishing boat and watched Zhao Dahai's speedboat quickly disappear into the vast night. He turned and walked towards the live water tank. The groupers caught yesterday were relatively small, so it would be easier to catch them if the weather was warm, but he could not be careless and had to take a careful look.

After checking the grouper in the live water tank, Ding Dawen returned to the cab.

"What a pity! What a pity!"

"The groupers I caught yesterday were really small. If I had caught those big ones the day before yesterday, they would have been much more valuable!"

Ding Dawen took a sip of strong tea to refresh himself.

Most of the groupers Zhao Dahai caught yesterday were relatively small in size. There seemed to be a lot of them, and they were a little heavier than the day before, but in terms of the money earned from selling them, it was really not as much as the day before.

But there is nothing we can do about this kind of thing.

Whether it was Zhao Dahai or anyone else, everyone wanted to catch big fish, but there were not many big fish. It was already amazing to be able to catch so many the day before. It was possible that there would not be too many big groupers left in the artificial island reef.

“I wonder how many groupers we can catch today?”

"Will there be any big ones?"

Ding Dawen looked at the dark sea in the direction of the artificial islands.

Yesterday, Uncle Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin and others went out to sea to explore the artificial islands and reefs by themselves, hoping to catch grouper, which was almost impossible.

What's different today is that we are going out to sea with Zhao Dahai's speedboat. We will definitely be able to catch some fish to eat, but we have to see how big the grouper we catch is, especially whether we can catch a grouper weighing over 100 kilograms. But this kind of thing is really hard to say, we can only rely on our luck.

If you are lucky, you can catch it. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to catch a fish weighing more than 100 kilograms, let alone a fish weighing 70 or 80 kilograms.

Ding Dawen sat for a while, watching the eclipse, which was gradually getting brighter. After thinking for a while, he took a few poles, hung live croakers on them, walked to the bow of the fishing boat and lowered them down. One pole was lowered about fifty meters away, another was lowered about one hundred meters away, and another was lowered directly to one hundred and fifty meters.

No mackerel were caught in the past two days.

But when it comes to fishing, no one can tell when you can catch fish. Since I have nothing to do, I might as well put out three fishing rods.

If you can catch something, it would definitely be a good thing. If you can’t, just use it as a way to kill time.

Ding Dawen put down the rod and walked back to the cab. The next step was to wait and see if there was any fish caught.

Zhao Dahai drove a speedboat to the artificial island reef, slowed down the speed of the speedboat, and slowly stopped it on the sea.

"There are more speedboats today than yesterday, and there are more of them!"

Zhong Shizhu looked at the surrounding sea and saw a lot more lights. Needless to say, these were all speedboats that came here to fish. It must be that as the news of the grouper opening spread, more people would come here to fish.

"Today is just the beginning. By tomorrow, the number of speedboats here will have to increase several times."

Lei Dayou frowned.

I had known that something like this would happen, but now that I actually see so many speedboats coming at once, I still feel a little depressed.

“Uncle Shizhu is great!”

"There is no wall that is not blown away. We have been fishing for grouper in this place for two days."

"Together, we caught nearly 10,000 kilograms of grouper."

"When we were fishing for grouper here, there were other speedboats fishing here as well. If we went back to sell the fish, the news would definitely spread."

"There are more speedboats here today. This is normal. It can't be normal anymore."

"We don't need to worry about this kind of thing. You just need to focus on fishing. Try to catch as much fish as possible."

Zhao Dahai said as he looked at the fish, which slowly adjusted the position of the speedboat.

Although there are a lot more speedboats here today, it is still not too many. By tomorrow, there will be a lot of speedboats here. You can see five or six speedboats just by looking around.

Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng and others walked out of the speedboat's cabin. The speed just now was quite fast, and it would not be safe if all the people were on the deck.

"Yo!"

"Today's express deliveries are much more than yesterday's!"

Wu Guodong couldn't help but exclaimed when he looked around. Yesterday afternoon, he and Gao Zhicheng drove a speedboat to the artificial island. There were hardly many speedboats, but now there were many of them. It must be that many people have received the news that they could get groupers here.

"The world is bustling with people all for profit!"

"Isn't this the same thing in our fishing community? As long as there are fish in a place, there will definitely be a lot of people crowding together!"

Gao Zhicheng shook his head. This was actually something that couldn't be more normal. As long as there was a place where fish could be caught and as long as the news spread, people would definitely come, and there would definitely be a lot of people coming.

"Who knows, we might see the speedboat called Sea Bass here, which used to be in the island foam area!"

Liu Bin smiled. It was really not a strange thing.

"I wonder how the fish are doing today?"

……

"There must be fish!"

"Zhao Dahai caught so many fish the past two days. There are not only fish here on the artificial islands and reefs, but they are really opening their mouths!"

……

"If I have to say, I'll see if we can catch a large grouper weighing 70 to 80 kilograms or even more than 100 kilograms today."

……

"I've been fishing for a day today and a day yesterday. If I can still catch a lot of fish today, I think the grouper here on the artificial islands will be biting soon."

"Even if other people received the news and knew that the fish had started to bite, they wouldn't be able to catch many fish if they rushed over here."

... Ding Chongshan, Lin Zuhua, Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng and Wu Guodong were not in a hurry to fish. They talked in low voices while watching Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou fishing. They knew it would not be too late to cast their rods when they really caught fish.

"This is a fishing spot that several of us often fish at. If the speedboat stops here and hits the bottom, the chance of getting stuck is very low. There is no need to worry."

……

"One hundred and forty-five meters of water depth!"

"Let out the line to 140 meters, but it will be around 135 meters. Be careful. When we were fishing for grouper these past two days, many fish came up directly from the bottom of the sea."

……

"Stop for a while and see if there are any fish taking the bait. If not, pull the rod up and down a few times. If there are really no fish, tap the bottom again."

……

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly to tell Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou that they could start fishing. He had been to this place several times and caught a lot of fish. He was already familiar with everything here and didn't need to look for fish.

"What did you say yesterday?"

"Is Gao Zhicheng learning to talk like Zhao Dahai?"

Ding Chongshan pointed at Zhao Dahai and then at Gao Zhicheng.

"Correct!"

"It's exactly the same. That's how Gao Zhicheng spoke to us yesterday."

……

"What a shame, what a shame. This is really such a pity. Gao Zhicheng only learned how Zhao Dahai spoke, but he didn't learn Zhao Dahai's skills."

"We didn't catch any fish yesterday!"

……

"Is there no way?"

"It's really impossible to do it this way. If you really have such ability, it would be incredible!"

……

Lin Zuhua, Wu Guodong and Wu Weimin all laughed at once, and immediately remembered that Gao Zhicheng drove a speedboat to take them fishing yesterday. The tone and content of his speech were almost the same as Zhao Dahai's at this moment.

"I have to admit that it's not much different! But do you have the ability to do that? How about we go fishing in a speedboat one day? I want to see which one of you can lead me to catch some fish."

Gao Zhicheng did not deny that what he said yesterday was really not much different from what Zhao Dahai said now, but he did not have such ability, and neither did Ding Chongshan and Wu Weimin.

"Isn't there another speedboat of Zhao Dahai on the fishing boat? Let's give it a try tomorrow. I want to see which one of you has the ability to do this."

Gao Zhicheng was not polite at all. While speaking, he looked at Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong.

None of Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong dared to respond, as they really did not have the ability to lead others to catch fish.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't you just laugh at me? Why are none of you saying anything now?"

Gao Zhicheng was proud.

If we just talk about fishing skills, I might be much better than Ding Chongshan and others, but Ding Chongshan and others would definitely not accept it.

Sometimes I can indeed catch fish, but people like Ding Chongshan and Wu Weimin can also catch fish.

If I insist on talking about the fact of catching fish or the fishing technique, Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin, Lin Zhihua and even Wu Guodong may not be convinced.

If you compare them, you may not be able to win. After all, fishing really depends on luck.

But when it comes to taking others out to sea for fishing and not catching any fish, Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong are actually exactly the same as me, with no big difference. They all don't have such ability. No matter what I say, Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong can only be speechless.

"coming!"

"There's fish!"

……

"what!"

“The fish are biting really well today!”

……

"Not big, not big!"

"All of them are small!"

……

Ding Chongshan, Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong immediately turned their heads to look at Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou. In just a short while, they all caught fish and the rod in front of each of them was bent.

“Are the fish biting as hard today?”

Ding Chongshan was a little surprised.

Zhao Dahai was the first to catch a fish, but he used a hand-cranked spinning rod.

When Zhao Dahai was fishing, his skills were very good, so it was normal for him to catch fish easily.

However, three of them, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da, did use the pole on the gun mount.

The fact that fish can be caught so easily only proves that at this time or today the grouper in the sea is still very active and very easy to bite the hook.

"About three pounds of red spots!"

Zhao Dahai took a look at the grouper holding the water surface. It was not big, but it was indeed a very valuable red grouper.

"Ten pounds of blue spots!"

……

"Mine is a bit bigger, weighing about 20 kilograms!"

……

"Six or seven pounds of grease spots."

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou saw clearly that the heads of the fish pulled out of the water were not that big.

"Uncle Ding."

"Boss Wu, Boss Gao, you guys can go fishing now. I estimate that there are still fish at this time and spot, but it seems that the fish today will not be very big."

Zhao Dahai was talking as he scooped up the fish with a scoop net. If it was any other grouper, he would have picked it up directly, but this was a red grouper. Don't be fooled by its small size, it is very valuable, so he still had to treat it with care.
