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

Chapter 1201 Another big guy is here!
Ding Dawen watched Ding Chongshan, Gao Zhicheng and others drive away on a speedboat. Before long, only the lights on the speedboat were left.

I wonder if I can catch mackerel?
Ding Dawen just shook his head.

It’s really hard to say about this matter. It’s possible that you can catch it, but there’s a greater possibility that you can’t catch it.

I have been fishing near this fishing boat for the past two days, but I didn't catch any mackerel.

Ding Dawen turned around and went back to the cab, sat for a while, then immediately went to the live water tank to check on the groupers that Zhao Dahai had caught yesterday. Finding no problems, he returned to the cab, sat down and took a rest, as it would not be long before dawn.

Gao Zhicheng drove the speedboat about 400 meters away from Mr. Ding's fishing boat, slowed down and stopped.

"Don't say anything else."

"Zhao Dahai's speedboat is really great!"

Gao Zhicheng was very satisfied.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Zhao Dahai's speedboat is worth five or six hundred thousand!"

"Among the other people who go fishing around here, which ones have such a nice speedboat?"

"Only someone like Zhao Dahai would buy a million-dollar speedboat. A boat worth five or six hundred thousand is still sitting at the dock in the wind and sun!"

Wu Weimin cursed with a smile.

What Gao Zhicheng said really makes no sense.

Generally, a speedboat used for offshore fishing costs at least 100,000 yuan, and a better one costs around 200,000 yuan.

This is already considered very good.

The first speedboat Zhao Dahai bought was worth four or five hundred thousand or six hundred thousand yuan. Even though he bought it more than one or two years ago, up to now, there are almost no people around who would buy such a good speedboat.

"Correct!"

"What Wu Weimin said is right!"

"It really doesn't make sense if a speedboat of this price isn't good!"

As Lin Zuhua spoke, he used the light of the speedboat to illuminate the surrounding sea surface, and vaguely saw flowing water five or six meters away.

"Is this where we start trolling?"

Lin Zuhua pointed to the location of the flowing water.

"Correct!"

"Let's start from this spot and try to see if we can catch any fish!"

"Didn't Ding Dawen just say that? In the past two days, the fishing boats haven't caught any fish nearby. I guess there really are no fish around here, but we have to give it a try anyway."

Gao Zhicheng nodded. He was driving the speedboat just now and saw flowing water in front of him, so he stopped. He did not just find a random place.

"Are you planning to drive straight ahead along this current?"

Ding Chongshan immediately guessed Gao Zhicheng's thoughts.

"Correct!"

"There is definitely a better chance of catching fish in flowing water."

"We will then drive the speedboat along the current, moving forward non-stop, to see if we can catch any fish."

Gao Zhicheng’s plan was indeed like this.

Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong strongly agreed with this approach and started preparing immediately. They all had rich experience and it didn't take long for them to prepare two poles.

One on each side, inserted into the stern of the speedboat.

There are two poles with a certain distance between them, and one is only 50 meters long, while the other is 100 meters long. This way the line will not easily get tangled.

Gao Zhicheng looked at the rod that had been hooked and the fish put into the sea, then drove the speedboat, slowly accelerating into the current, and kept moving forward along the current. The speed was not fast, just a little faster than the speed of the sea water to ensure that the lines of the two rods were always straight, but it could not be too fast, otherwise the fish hanging on the hook would be easily dragged to death.

All kinds of fish like to eat living food. Mackerel is exactly the same. Once the barramundi hanging on the hook dies, it is not that you cannot catch it, but the effect will be much worse.

Gao Zhicheng is very experienced and controls the speed of the speedboat very well.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, Wu Guodong, Chongshan and Lin Zuhua all stared at the beginning with wide eyes. They stretched the two rods to see if there were any fish, but after half an hour, there was no movement at all. They gradually lost their patience and started chatting.

"The weather tonight is actually pretty good, and the sea water is relatively clear, which is very suitable for fishing. However, we spent half an hour and there was no movement at all."

"What's going on?"

Wu Weimin lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, stared at the sea and shook his head.

The weather tonight is very good indeed. With many years of experience in sea fishing, I know there is definitely a chance to catch fish, but looking at the weather, there has been no movement at all during this period of time.

"Our speedboat is still near the fishing boat."

"Didn't Ding Dawen say that? We didn't catch a single fish during the last two days of drift fishing. This proves that there are very likely no mackerels or other large fish around!"

"Isn't it normal that we can't catch any fish?"

Ding Chongshan pointed to a faint light in the distance. It was Ding Dawen's fishing boat.

"Correct!"

"What's so strange about this? Our speedboat will circle around this place. If we can't catch any fish, we can continue to sail to other places!"

Wu Guodong wanted to catch fish very much, but he knew that no matter how powerful he was, it didn't matter. Whether he could catch fish depended on whether he had the luck today.

"Zhao Dahai is already fishing on the artificial island reef at this time. I guess he is catching all kinds of groupers again."

Lin Zuhua paused when he said this and couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of the artificial island reef.

"Ugh!"

"I wonder if Zhao Dahai can catch a big grouper today?"

Lin Zuhua now really wants to know whether Zhao Dahai has caught a big grouper today.

"what!"

"Are we all regretting why we didn't go fishing with Zhao Dahai now?"

When Gao Zhicheng heard Lin Zuhua say this, he immediately shouted.

They went fishing with Zhao Dahai yesterday. It's not that they didn't catch any fish, but they caught a lot of fish. However, they were all small groupers. They only wanted big fish, so today they simply chose not to follow Zhao Dahai to fish in the sea, but to come here for trolling.

If they could catch fish, they would definitely not have any thoughts, but now they couldn't catch any fish, and they were wondering if Zhao Dahai could catch a big one. If they could really catch the grouper, they would definitely regret it.

"Who said it wasn't true?" "I was thinking, if we didn't know where Zhao Dahai was at this moment, maybe we could just reel in the fishing rod and go straight to Zhao Dahai!"

Wu Weimin smiled. This was no joke. Both he and Gao Zhicheng must have had such thoughts or ideas in their minds.

"Correct!"

"That's what it looks like!"

"Fortunately, we really don't know where Zhao Dahai is fishing right now!"

"Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore. The more we talk about it, the harder it will be for us to fish."

"Why don't we just change places? We really can't catch any fish here!"

Ding Chongshan looked at Gao Zhicheng who was driving the speedboat. Half an hour had passed since he spoke, and there was no movement for a whole hour. It was estimated that there were no big fish nearby, let alone a mackerel weighing over 100 kilograms.

"Correct!"

"Don't waste time, go somewhere else!"

"Don't be fooled by the current on the sea right now. You can see a lot of small fish, but if there are really big fish, the water will definitely explode!"

"It's so calm without any movement, so it's definitely unlikely that there will be any big fish here!"

Wu Guodong pointed to the surrounding sea. With the help of the speedboat's light, he could see that there were indeed small fish on the sea, but he could not hear the sound of big fish splashing in the water. This meant that something was very wrong.

Gao Zhicheng thought about it and nodded. What Wu Guodong said made a lot of sense. If there were really big fish like mackerel or sea bass in the surrounding sea, there would definitely be the sound of water bursting. Now there was no sound at all, which meant there were no fish. There was no point in continuing to fish here.

Gao Zhicheng immediately turned the bow of the speedboat and headed to another place. If there were no fish in one place, he would go to another place to see if there was any chance. One of the best advantages of trolling is that it covers a very wide area.

Artificial islands and reefs.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Zhong Shizhu wiped his face. He had just caught a large grouper weighing about 70 or 80 kilograms. When he pulled it onto the deck, its tail lashed out several times, spraying sea water all over his face.

"Hahaha!"

"If Boss Wu and his friends see how many big groupers we caught today, they will definitely regret it!"

As Zhong Shizhu spoke, he took the big hook off the corner of the grouper's mouth with pliers, checked the line, and found no problem, so he immediately caught another one. He hung the big octopus and threw it into the sea, while letting out the line, he kicked the grouper hard, and it slid into the live water tank.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng and his friends went fishing on a speedboat yesterday, but they didn't catch any big grouper the whole day. Today they didn't go out to sea on a speedboat, but went troll fishing. As a result, they caught big grouper again. After a few hours, they caught more than ten groupers weighing more than 50 kilograms, five weighing 70 or 80 kilograms, and one weighing more than 100 kilograms.

If Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng and the others went out to sea together today, there would definitely be a great chance of catching a large grouper weighing more than 100 kilograms.

"Boss Gao and Boss Gao would be so sorry if they knew we caught so many big groupers!"

"But what can be done about this kind of thing? It's their fault for not having such luck!"

Liu Bin had been staring at his rod. A fish had just taken a light bite. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately pulled the rod very hard.

"coming!"

"Here comes another fish!"

"Yo!"

"Why do I feel like this one is quite big? It must weigh at least 70 or 80 kilograms!"

Liu Bin looked at the curve of the rod and immediately knew that the fish he had hooked was really big.

"This fish weighs more than 80 kilograms!"

"It's easy to break a hundred pounds!"

Zhao Dahai took a look at Liu Bin's rod and shook his head. Seventy or eighty kilograms was a bit conservative. It was definitely more than that. It might not be a hundred and twenty kilograms, but it was definitely over a hundred kilograms.

"It's over, it's over!"

"We caught another giant grouper weighing over 100 kilograms?"

"Aren't Boss Wu and Boss Gao going to stamp their feet again?"

Lei Dayou laughed.

Zhao Dahai looked down.

The sea water was very clear under the light, and you could vaguely see a dark red fish being pulled up from a depth of five or six meters in the sea.

"Old red spots."

Zhao Dahai couldn't help but shout.

I have been fishing for so long and I don’t know how many fish I have caught that are big groupers weighing over 100 kilograms.

It’s not that I haven’t caught red grouper weighing thirty or forty kilograms, but I get very excited every time I catch one that big, because it’s really not easy.

When Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou heard Zhao Dahai shouting, they immediately turned their heads and looked over.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"I have to say that you are more powerful!"

Zhong Shizhu was very impressed. Although all of them had caught big groupers, the one Liu Bin had caught might be over 100 jin, but it was still far from being comparable to the 30-40 jin old red grouper that Zhao Dahai had caught.

Lei Dayou immediately took the scoop net and walked over, standing next to Zhao Dahai. Looking at the fish floating out of the water, he immediately reached out, scooped up the fish and carried it onto the deck.

Zhao Dahai immediately reached out his hand and pinched the red spot's belly. When the fish was hooked just now, he already knew that it was most likely a red spot, so he slowed down the speed of reeling in the line and there was no bloating.

Zhao Dahai checked it very carefully and found no problems, so he put it in the live water tank. He watched it for a while and felt relieved after seeing it jumping around.

Old red spot weighing thirty or forty kilograms are very valuable, but in terms of the selling price alone, it is not much different from the blue spot weighing one hundred or even one hundred and twenty kilograms. Sometimes, the selling price of blue spot weighing one hundred or one hundred and twenty kilograms is much higher than that of old red spot weighing thirty or forty kilograms. Old red spot weighing thirty or forty kilograms are even smaller in number, more sought-after, and more difficult to catch, so every one must be treated seriously.

"One hundred kilograms!"

"Zhao Dahai, you're right. This grouper really weighs more than 100 kilograms!"

Wu Bin was very happy. Zhao Dahai's judgment was correct. The big grouper that floated to the surface was definitely over 100 kilograms.

"Everyone hold on tight!"

"It looks like the big grouper is opening its mouth again tonight!"

“Catch more!”

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly, urging people to hurry up and fish. If no fish took the bait, they should take a break. But if there was a fish biting the bait, they should grit their teeth and keep fishing.
