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

Chapter 1356: Gather less and leave more
Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming immediately looked up and saw that it was Ding Dawen’s fishing boat that had returned.

"No way? We've only been out at sea for a few days and we're already back. Could it be that the fishing moratorium has started? Are there so many fish to catch?"

Zhao Shi was very surprised.

The time interval between this return and the last return was really too short. I really didn't expect that Ding Dawen's fishing boat would come back today.

Shi Guangming turned his head and shouted loudly to the fish farm, while Ma Baozhu was looking at the fish in the net cage on the other side.

Ma Baozhu turned her head and saw that Shi Guangming's hand was pointing towards the open sea. She immediately looked over and found that Ding Dawen's fishing boat had returned. She immediately shouted loudly to the people working on the fish raft to get ready, as they would have to work soon and had to hurry up.

Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming, Gao Zhicheng and Lin Zuhua waited for Ding Dawen's fishing boat to stop and immediately boarded the boat.

Ding Dawen has time to work because he has arranged for people to do the work.

Ding Dawen knew that Zhao Shi and Shi Wanming wanted to know about Zhao Dahai's fishing experience, so he quickly told them.

"When the fishing moratorium begins, there are no more fishing boats, but there are many more fishing boats or speedboats."

"But this had little impact on our fishing, not even a little impact, and we caught a lot of fish instead."

Ding Dawen pointed to the fish that were being hoisted in bags from the live water tank of the large fishing boat into the net cages.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were a little surprised, but they both felt that this was actually very normal.

"No way? Are there a lot of speedboats or fishing boats guarding the island and reef foam area now? Are they the kind that don't leave for 24 hours?"

Shi Guangming was very surprised when he heard Ding Dawen talk about the situation in the island and reef foam area. He really didn't expect it to be like this.

"Correct!"

"That's what it looks like!"

"I wonder if other fishing spots are like this? Anyway, there are many fishing boats in the island and reef foam area now, and many speedboats are guarding one spot and won't leave!"

"Zhao Dahai said that there are probably too many people. Everyone wants to stand in a good position, so those who occupy the position simply don't leave or go home. They stay in that place for 24 hours."

"Food and other things were delivered by other people!"

"Or someone else can go back to sleep and rest."

Ding Dawen was very surprised when he heard what Zhao Dahai said. He really didn't expect that someone would work so hard for fishing and to make money.

"Hey!"

"During the fishing moratorium, there aren't many ways to make money. The only way is fishing!"

"When there are too many people and fishing boats at a fishing spot, things like this are bound to happen. Everyone wants to get the best spot, and in the end, they have no choice but to stay away from home!"

Shi Guangming really just kept shaking his head.

But there is no way to deal with this kind of thing.

Such things may happen during normal fishing season, not to mention that it is the fishing moratorium and the competition is even more intense.

"What does Zhao Dahai say about this? Will it affect the number of fish caught?"

Zhao Shi didn't care what impact other people would have. The only thing he cared about was whether the fish caught by Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu and others would be affected.

Ding Dawen shook his head.

Other people who go fishing at sea will definitely be greatly affected, but for Zhao Dahai, it cannot be said that there is no impact at all. However, this impact is just that no fish can be caught at certain fishing spots or it is not very convenient to fish, or the number of fish caught is relatively small. Zhao Dahai changed to other places to fish and was still able to get a lot of fish.

"Zhao Dahai has enough fishing spots. If you can't catch fish in one place, just go to another one."

"If there are too many people and fishing boats in places like the island and reef foam area, then go to another fishing spot."

"This is the advantage of knowing a lot of places. If other people don't have so many fishing spots, then they have no choice but to squeeze in places with a lot of people!"

Shi Guangming understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. The most important and crucial thing was that Zhao Dahai not only knew those fishing spots that everyone knew, such as the artificial islands and reefs, the inverted rubber foam area, and the windmill foot fishing spots, but more importantly, Zhao Dahai also knew some small fishing spots that no one else knew and only he knew.

People don't usually go fishing in places like this, but when the big fishing spots are crowded with people and speedboats, you can go fishing in small fishing spots like this, and you can catch a lot of fish.

"Do we have to put the fish out to sea right after unloading them?"

Zhao Shi asked Ding Dawen if he was going to go out to sea right away.

"Correct!"

"We have to go out to sea soon. Zhao Dahai, Uncle Shizhu and others are fishing on the sea. You never know when we can catch a speedboat's worth of fish. I have to hurry and go out to sea."

"correct!"

"There are two things I need to say. We need to find someone to drive the speedboat that Zhao Dahai bought to go out to sea together. We may not be able to use this speedboat in the near future."

Ding Dawen pointed to the first speedboat bought by Zhao Dahai which was parked next to the speedboat.

"There are more fish in the sea these days. Generally speaking, Zhao Dahai and Uncle Shizhu can fill the live water tank of the speedboat with fish in less than ten hours in seven or eight hours."

“It takes a long time to come back to the fishing boat to unload the fish and then go out again.”

"If we have an extra speedboat, we can go out to sea right away and catch a lot more fish."

Ding Dawen told Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming about Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu's recent fishing experiences. Most of the time, they were able to fill a speedboat with fish in less than ten hours.

It usually takes two hours to come back and unload the fish, so you will often miss the current. Even if you don't miss the current, you will catch fewer fish. Having one more speedboat will allow you to go out to sea immediately.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming nodded immediately. If Zhao Dahai said it would be used, then it would definitely be used.

"Wait a moment until you are out to sea, and I will recheck this speedboat."

"If there is no problem, I will ask someone to drive a speedboat out to sea to find you."

Zhao Shi pointed to the speedboat that Zhao Dahai had bought at the beginning, which was parked next to the fish farm. It had been parked there recently. Sometimes it would be used, but most of the time it would not be used. Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu were out fishing, so a speedboat that had not been used for a while must be checked. No matter how urgent it was to use, safety must be paid attention to first.

Ding Dawen nodded.

"Boss Gao, Boss Lin, Zhao Dahai asked me to tell you one thing when I come back to unload the fish. Right now, there are no fishing boats setting fishing nets in the sea. If you want to go out and catch big mackerel, now might be a good opportunity."

"But if you want to go out, you have to find another speedboat, and you can only go fishing on your own."

"The place to fish is the same sea area where my fishing boat docked last time. It should be very suitable at this time."

Ding Dawen looked at Gao Zhicheng and Lin Zuhua beside him. This was another thing he had to say when he came back this time.

Gao Zhicheng and Lin Zuhua were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Ding Dawen to say something like this when he came back. The two looked at each other and were a little undecided for a moment whether to go out to sea to fish.

"Boss Gao."

"You don't need to rush to decide this matter. Anyway, there are no other fishing boats setting fishing nets in the sea during this period. This is a good opportunity to catch big Spanish mackerel, especially trolling big Spanish mackerel."

"The fishing moratorium has just begun, so there is plenty of time. If you want to go out to sea, just go."

Ding Dawen knew at a glance that Gao Zhicheng and Lin Zuhua could not make up their minds immediately, but there was no rush for this matter and they could discuss it slowly. Anyway, the fishing moratorium was still a long way off.

Gao Zhicheng and Lin Zuhua nodded. There was no need to rush the matter. They should think about it slowly and discuss it before deciding whether to go out to sea to fish.

Ding Dawen saw that the fish had been almost unloaded, so he got off the fishing boat, said a few words to Ma Baozhu, then got back on the fishing boat and left.

"All of us who go out to sea are like this, we are together less often than we are apart."

Zhao Shi walked up to Ma Baozhu holding a hookah.

"Second Grandpa!"

"How can Ding Dawen's behavior be considered as going out to sea?"

"I'm just hanging around here. Even if I do other jobs, wouldn't it be the same? How can I stay at home every day?"

"Hasn't Zhao Dahai been on the sea longer?"

"Ding Dawen can come back from time to time, right?"

Ma Baozhu smiled and shook her head. Although the time she and Ding Dawen met was not long, he would definitely come every five or six days, or at most seven or eight days. She was not kidding. The time she and Ding Dawen met was much more than that of Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Shi laughed.

What he said is true, it really means that we can meet more often.

"We are all young! We must work harder and earn more money at this time. There is no need to worry about other things."

"If I stay at home, I can see my husband and wife every day, but if I don't have money in my pocket, I won't be able to finish anything, and I won't be able to accomplish anything. That will make me even more anxious!"

Ma Baozhu is very clear about this matter.

"Correct!"

“That’s actually what happened!”

Zhao Shi nodded, said a few words, and drove the speedboat with Shi Guangming to the dock to find someone to check it out.

Gao Zhicheng and Lin Zuhua walked back to the gun carriage used to catch giant grouper, and neither of them spoke for a long time.

"Do you think we should go out to sea to fish for mackerel? I think what Zhao Dahai said is right. Now is definitely the best time to delay it."

Lin Zuhua looked at Gao Zhicheng.

The last time we went out to sea to fish in Malaysia, we were not successful. It’s not that we didn’t catch any fish, but they were all relatively small.

The desired giant mackerel weighing over 100 kilograms was nowhere to be found. It was not that there were no fish in the sea at that time, but that there were too many fishing boats setting up fish nets around. As a result, all the big mackerels were caught, and there was not much sea surface space for trolling.

It’s different now. There are no fishing boats setting fishing nets, and there are no fishing nets in the sea, which makes it very suitable for trolling for mackerel.

“Now is really the best opportunity.”

"I am really a little hesitant about this matter now! Should I go fishing for mackerel?"

Gao Zhicheng frowned. He had been thinking about this when Ding Dawen was talking about this. To be honest, this was a good opportunity, but fishing had not been going well for them recently. It was not that they had not caught any fish, but they had not caught the big fish they wanted.

"what!"

"Gao Zhicheng!"

"You don't think we've had bad luck fishing recently, and you don't believe we can catch any fish, so you're just not going out to sea to fish, right?"

As soon as Lin Zuhua saw Gao Zhicheng's expression, he thought about it and knew what was going on. He must have felt that his fishing had not been very good recently, and it was very likely that he would not catch any fish on this trip out to the sea. With this idea in mind, he decided not to go out to sea to fish at all.

"Who said it wasn't true? Our fishing luck has been really bad recently. And it's not just a little bit bad. We can catch fish every time we go out to sea, but we can't really catch many big fish."

"When we got back to the fish farm, a big fish was hooked at the beginning, but it eventually ran away. We haven't been able to catch any big fish these days. We don't know when we will catch a big one."

"You may not be able to catch big fish when fishing in the open sea, and you may not know where the big fish are. But when we stay in the fish raft, we know where the big fish are, but we just haven't caught them. Why do I always feel that fishing here in the fish raft is more cost-effective? Not to mention, fishing here in the fish raft is very comfortable."

Gao Zhicheng nodded honestly. He really had such an idea. His luck in fishing recently was really too bad. He really couldn't catch any big fish. If he continued to go out to sea, he might not be able to catch any big fish. So, he might as well fish at the fish raft, where he would have a greater chance of catching big fish.

"what!"

"Gao Zhicheng!"

"What you said makes a lot of sense. It's really like this. Recently, we can only go fishing with the fish farm. We can't go anywhere else. Who knows, we might be able to catch a big fish weighing over 100 kilograms sooner!"

Lin Zuhua nodded. It cannot be said that Gao Zhicheng's words were unreasonable. On the contrary, they made a lot of sense. From this point of view, fishing is really only possible at the fishing raft. There is no need to go anywhere else. If you go fishing in other places during this period, you will not catch any big fish.
