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

Chapter 1349: Finally, the bitterness comes
"Ugh!"

"Other people would be very happy to catch a fish of this size, but it's a bit strange for us."

"If you don't fish, these are indeed fish, and if the bite is so fierce, you can really catch a lot of fish and make a lot of money in one night."

"But if you think about it, if all you catch are big black porgy weighing four or five kilograms, you can catch several times more fish with the same amount of time and effort, and you can make several times more money. If that happens, you won't be happy at all!"

Liu Bin glanced at the pole in front of Zhao Dahai and shook his head as he spoke.

"Don't worry, let's fish here for a while and see what the size of these fish is like."

"The biggest advantage of this place is that there aren't many other speedboats or fishing boats around. We may be the only ones who know about it."

"This place is very convenient for fishing. If we go to other spots for fishing black sea bream, more people will know about it. If we are fishing, there will be others fishing. In that case, it will not be so convenient to fish."

Zhao Dahai smiled.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, even Lei Dayou and myself must be thinking about catching bigger fish, catching more fish in the same amount of time, and making more money, but it is hard to say now.

Many times it is impossible to judge the size, or to get an accurate estimate.

Even if you change to other fishing spots and find bigger fish, it is still not cost-effective if there are more fishing boats or speedboats nearby.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou thought about it and nodded. Zhao Dahai was right. If they went to other places, they might be able to catch bigger fish. However, if there were other speedboats or fishing boats in such a place, it would be very inconvenient to fish.

It’s not necessarily very cost-effective.

"If you think about it this way, it's really a good place to fish!"

As Liu Bin spoke, he took the fish off the hook and threw it into the live water tank next to him. He then hung bait on the hook, filled the bait cage with Antarctic shrimps, and put it into the sea.

It is definitely better to fish with a few people in one place. If there are other speedboats, it will definitely have an impact, and the impact may be very big.

It is the fishing moratorium period recently, and there are many fishing boats and speedboats on the sea. If you go to another place, the chance of encountering such fishing boats and speedboats will be very high.

"Yo!"

"What's going on? Why are the fish I catch all different sizes?"

Lei Dayou took a look and saw that there were five fish in total pulled out of the water.

There is nothing strange about this. The fish schools in the sea are very large and the bite is very fierce. All the hooks have bitten fish. It is really normal.

But the fish he caught were different from those caught by Zhao Dahai, Liu Bin and Zhong Shizhu.

There were five fish, three of which were relatively small, weighing only about 150 grams, but the other two weighed more than two kilograms, one and more than five kilograms.

"what?"

"Could it be that the fish in the sea right now include some big and some small ones?"

Zhong Shizhu immediately thought of this possibility.

"Correct!"

"That must be the case! There must be big fish and small fish in this school of fish. And judging from the appearance, there are more small fish."

Liu Bin slapped his thigh.

Generally speaking, the sizes of fish in different places are not much different, but this is not always the case. Sometimes there are big and small fish in one place.

The fish caught by Zhong Shizhu and myself were relatively small. Most of the fish caught by Lei Dayou were small, but some were bigger.

It is possible that there are big and small fish in the sea. If this is the case, then there is no need for them to change places, especially since what Zhao Dahai said just now is correct. If they change to another place, one is that they don't know whether they can really find big fish. More importantly, there are too many fishing boats and speedboats on the sea. If they change to another place, even if there are big fish, there are so many people fishing that it may not be cost-effective to fish for one night.

"Looks like we have to hurry up!"

When Zhao Dahai saw the fish caught by Lei Dayou, he was very excited. You know, what Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin said was actually right. Fishing big fish does save time and effort and make more money. It’s just that when there are no big fish, you can only fish small fish. If there is a choice, no one would think of fishing small fish instead of big fish.

I didn't agree to change to another place to fish just now, not because I don't want to catch big fish, but after comprehensive consideration, I think there is no need to change to another place, it is more cost-effective to fish here. But if it is possible to catch a big fish, only a fool would not fish.

"There are indeed some large and some small fish in the school, but judging from the current situation, there should be more small ones."

"If someone has already fished at this spot and caught most of the big ones, and only small ones are left, then we can only catch small ones tonight. But there is another possibility. If that is the case, we can catch big black porgy here tonight."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he stuffed Antarctic shrimps into the bait cage. Hanging on the hook were special large Antarctic shrimps that were a little bigger. He immediately threw it into the sea and let the line down quickly, stopping only when it reached the water layer.

"What else is going on?"

Zhong Shizhu asked Zhao Dahai while laying out the line.

Zhao Dahai just said that not many people would know about this place. That certainly means not many people would know about it, but that doesn’t mean that there is no one.

If someone came here to fish a month or two ago and caught a lot of fish, there must not be many big black sea bream left. The ones we caught now are from a school of fish that has only grown for a short time, so they must not be big.

"There is another situation where there are small schools of fish here, but there are no big schools of fish anywhere around."

"But there are too many small fish in this area, so the big fish are not very willing to come here."

"When it comes to competing for food, big fish are definitely not as aggressive as small fish."

"In this way, the big fish will hide in another place nearby!"

While fishing, Zhao Dahai looked at the surrounding sea and frowned.

There must not be many people coming to fish in this place. My own judgment is that there must be a school of big black sea bream at another spot, which is not too far from here.

If they can really find it, they will definitely be able to catch a big black sea bream, which will be very cost-effective for himself and people like Zhong Shizhu.

"Where is this school of fish around here? It's not easy to find them!"

Liu Bin thought about it, and with his many years of fishing experience, he knew that what Zhao Dahai said was correct, or in other words, the possibility was very high. There must be other places with schools of large black porgy around. If he could really find them, he would definitely be able to get a lot of fish and catch a lot of large black porgy.

But the problem is that the surrounding sea is very open, and it is not easy to find out where these big black porgy are. It may be within one or two nautical miles, but it may also be ten or eight nautical miles away. If it is only within one or two nautical miles, it is not very difficult to find it, but if it is ten or eight nautical miles away, it is another matter.

It may be that the distance is even farther, in which case it will be more difficult to find these fish, or even impossible.

"You can't find a school of fish like this, right?"

Zhong Shizhu hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai thought about it and nodded. It was indeed very difficult to find a school of black sea bream in this vast ocean.

"It's not that there is no chance at all. As long as the school of big black porgy is around, we will definitely have a chance. But now we don't need to do this to catch a big black porgy."

It’s not that Zhao Dahai doesn’t want to find out where the big black sea bream are, but there is no need for him to do so at this moment. He has a better and easier way to catch big black sea bream.

"Oh?"

"What can we do?"

Lei Dayou was very surprised and even more excited.

Small black sea bream can make money, but large black sea bream can make even more money. Those who can catch the large ones will definitely want to catch the large ones.

"There are both small and big fish in this school, but there are more small ones. If we catch all the small ones or catch fewer, the big ones will come, and more and more of them will come."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he pushed the switch of the electric reel to reel in the line. Five more fish were hooked, but these five fish were not very big, each weighing about one kilogram.

When Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou heard this, their eyes lit up and they kept nodding. They had all been at sea for many years and had rich experience. They knew that what Zhao Dahai said was absolutely correct.

If there are big fish and small fish in one place, the small fish will often compete fiercely for food when there are more of them. Even if the big fish are nearby, they will not come over. However, if the number of small fish decreases, the big fish will gather more and more, which is actually like occupying territory.

"Correct!"

"We have to hurry up and fish more to see if there will be any big fish coming after we catch some of the small fish."

"As long as we catch some of the small fish, big fish will come, especially if there are more and more big fish, then it will definitely be like this."

Lei Dayou nodded vigorously. What Zhao Dahai said really made a lot of sense. He and Liu Bin, Zhong Shizhu and others had to hurry up and go fishing.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da were silent, just focused on fishing. There was almost no flowing water, so they probably used six rods in total, and pulled up bunches of black porgy weighing around one pound or seven or eight ounces from the sea.

Three hours passed.

"Yo!"

"Am I seeing things? There seem to be more and more big fish!"

……

"what!"

"Four of the five fish in this string weigh three pounds!"

……

"Zhao Dahai."

"Your method is absolutely correct. This really caught a big fish!"

"It looks like we've caught almost all the small fish!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were very excited. They had been fishing for several hours and had only caught small fish, and only occasionally they could catch a big fish. Now, their hard work had finally paid off, as most of the fish they caught were big ones.

Originally, catching five fish would only weigh about five kilograms, but now catching five fish would weigh almost twenty kilograms, or at least fifteen kilograms. The difference is not a small one.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou became more and more excited as they fished. They had been fishing for several hours, but their movements in catching fish did not slow down but became faster.

"Uncle Shizhu, we have been fishing for four hours."

"If we are tired, we must take a rest!"

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he picked up his water bottle and took a few sips of water. He fished for about three hours in one go, which was not a short time.

"How can this be tiring?"

"Fishing for black porgy and yellowtail is the easiest. Not to mention a few hours, even if you fish for 24 hours a day and a night, you won't feel tired."

“Even if I’m tired, I can hold on!”

Liu Bin smiled and shook his head.

This is not a joke, it is a fact.

When fishing for fish like black porgy and yellow croaker, you can take a break, drink water, smoke, etc. There is no problem. However, if you are fishing for grouper or other fish, you must be highly concentrated. Sometimes, if you are not careful and miss a bite, it is equivalent to missing a fish.

When fishing for black sea bream and yellow chicken, a string hook is used. When putting it into the sea, you have to wait. Even if there is one fish biting the hook, you have to wait until the second and third fish bite the hook before you can pull it down. There is plenty of time, and electric reels are used for fishing for black sea bream and yellow chicken.

It’s really not too tiring.

"Now the big black porgy are coming. We have to hurry up and make the most of it."

"The more fish we catch, the more black sea bream will come here. Then we can make more and more money."

"There's really no need to worry about resting. We can just rest while fishing!"

Lei Dayou quickly picked up the five black sea breams that were dragged to the surface of the water, took them off, and immediately put bait on the cage, stuffed Antarctic shrimps into the bait cage and put it into the sea. At this time, there was only one thing to do, which was to seize the time to go fishing.
