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

Chapter 1369: Tired physically but more tired mentally
Gao Zhicheng drove the speedboat quickly to the place where Ding Dawen had parked his fishing boat not long ago, and it was also the place where giant mackerel could be caught. There were coordinates for them, so it was easy to find.

Gao Zhicheng slowed down the speed of the speedboat and looked carefully at the surrounding sea.

"what!"

"There are relatively few fishing boats in this area. You can hardly see any of them."

Wu Weimin saw that there were fishing boats and speedboats on one side of the open sea, but they were quite far away, which was the best thing.

"When Ding Dawen's fishing boat stops at this place, there won't be many fishing boats on the surrounding sea."

"The fishing boats are those that set out fishing nets. Now is the fishing moratorium period, and these fishing boats that set out fishing nets cannot go out to sea."

"It is basically unlikely that fishing boats will come to this place."

Gao Zhicheng came here to fish for mackerel some time ago and was very familiar with the situation here. The scene before him was what he and his people most wanted to see.

Lin Zuhua, Wu Weimin and Wu Guodong immediately began to prepare the rods for trolling, hung live bait on the hooks, and lowered them into the sea.

Gao Zhicheng slowly drove the speedboat forward.

"One hundred meters!"

"It's already one hundred meters!"

When Wu Weimin saw that the line had already been let out for a hundred meters, he shouted loudly to remind Gao Zhicheng.

Gao Zhicheng nodded and controlled the speed of the speedboat.

Trolling is not a simple task, and it is even more impossible to just drive a speedboat forward. A certain speed must be maintained, not too fast or too slow.

If it is too slow, the fish on the hook will have no speed and is unlikely to attract the attention of the larger fish around.

If you go too fast, the fish on the hook will be dragged to death in a short time, making it even less likely to catch any fish.

Gao Zhicheng has extensive experience in fishing and has very good control.

Five p.m.

Gao Zhicheng shook his head and slowly stopped the speedboat.

Wu Weimin reeled in the line and looked at the barramundi hanging on the hook. It was still alive and kicking.

"Should we wait until dark and try again?"

Wu Guodong pointed to the distant horizon where the sun was setting and the sky was full of fiery red sunset glow. It wouldn't be long before the sun would set and the entire sea would be pitch black. Who knows, that might be an opportunity.

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua thought about it and nodded. Since they were here, they might as well give it another try. They would wait until dark and spend some time to see if they could catch any fish.

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong took a break and ate something. The sun disappeared and the entire sea began to darken. They immediately continued fishing, but there was still no movement until nine o'clock in the evening. Not to mention mackerel, they didn't catch any fish. They had no choice but to drive the speedboat back to the fishing boat.

Ding Dawen saw a light from afar coming towards his large fishing boat. Knowing that Gao Zhicheng and his men had returned, he immediately lowered the ladder.

"How was it? Didn't you catch anything?"

Ding Dawen looked at the expressions of Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, Wu Guodong and Lin Zuhua and knew what was going on. It was definitely because they didn't catch any fish.

"Correct!"

“No fish!”

“I don’t know where these giant mackerels have gone!”

Gao Zhicheng felt a little helpless, and at the same time sighed very tiredly. Then he wiped his face, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked it hard.

Almost seven or eight hours had passed since the afternoon, and he and Wu Weimin and his men were still at sea.

If they could catch fish, they would not care about this little bit of time at all and would be very excited. Now they haven't caught any fish, let alone the giant mackerel weighing over 100 kilograms that they wanted to catch. They are tired physically, but even more tired mentally.

"Hey!"

"What can be done about this?"

"These giant mackerels just don't make any noise!"

Wu Weimin was also very tired. This was what it was like when he couldn't catch any fish. He was really depressed and his mood was affected.

Aren’t there any fish in the sea?

It is possible that this is really the case, but the possibility is not high.

Wu Weimin felt that there were no fish in the sea, but he and his people could not catch any fish. It was just like the foam area during the day. He and his people spent half a day but could not catch any fish. But when Zhao Dahai came and took him and his people, they caught fish in no time.

If this incident hadn't happened, Gao Zhicheng and others might have thought that they couldn't catch mackerel because there were no fish in the sea. But after this incident, Gao Zhicheng and others really didn't dare to say that they couldn't catch fish because there were no fish in the sea.

"Boss Gao."

"Who can say for sure about fishing?"

"If I can't catch anything today, maybe I can catch it tomorrow!"

"I think you should eat something and go to sleep now, and then go out to sea to fish for mackerel tomorrow. If you go more often, you will have a chance to catch one!"

Ding Dawen knew that Gao Zhicheng and his people wanted to catch big Spanish mackerel very much, and they even thought that they could catch it in one trip, but from the current perspective, this was almost impossible. Even if there were no fishing boats setting fishing nets in the sea now, there would be a greater probability of catching big Spanish mackerel, but it did not mean that they could catch it 100%.

If Gao Zhicheng and others want to catch big mackerel, they must go fishing often. If they fish a few more times, they might have a chance.

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong all nodded. There was really no better way for him now. The only thing they could do was to go fishing more often.

"Have Zhao Dahai and his friends gone out to sea to fish? Did they say what kind of fish they went to catch?"

Wu Weimin was a little curious about what kind of fish Zhao Dahai was going to catch on this trip out to sea.

"Zhao Dahai said he was going out to fish for yellow chickens."

"But I don't know if he remembers the bite tonight. If the bite is good, I'll go for yellow croaker. If the bite is bad, I'll go for black porgy. But he mentioned a small spot for sea bass, so maybe I'll give it a try and see how it goes."

Ding Dawen couldn't help but smile as he spoke.

I have said so much, but in fact it is the same as if I had said nothing. I still haven't made it clear. I don't know what kind of fish Zhao Dahai is going to fish for this trip out to sea.

But it's not surprising at all. When Zhao Dahai goes out to sea, he has a plan for what kind of fish to catch. But when he actually goes out to sea, what kind of fish he catches depends on how the fish in the sea are biting. If the fish he wants to catch is biting well, he will catch the fish he planned to catch. If the bite is not good, he may change places and catch other fish at any time. Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong went to bed immediately after dinner. Fishing is a physical job. You have to sleep well so that you can catch fish on the next trip. Otherwise, it will be useless even if you go out to sea, especially when fishing for big fish, which consumes more physical strength.

Five o'clock in the morning.

The sun had not risen yet, but it was already faintly visible on the sea twenty meters away. It was just that there was fog today, otherwise it would have been possible to see farther.

Ding Dawen stood in the cab with his eyes wide open, looking back at the surrounding sea from time to time. When he saw a speedboat coming, he immediately picked up the telescope and looked, confirming that it was Zhao Dahai's speedboat.

Ding Dawen lowered the boat ladder, then walked out of the cab, shouting loudly for people to come over to work.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou boarded the fishing boat. During this period of time, they had not taken care of the fish unloaded from the speedboat and handed them all over to the people on the fishing boat.

"What the hell!"

"The fog started at around 3 or 4 in the morning, and now it's really thick!"

As Zhong Shizhu spoke, he wiped his hair and face vigorously. Water kept dripping down. A few of them were sea water, but most of them were mist.

"what!"

"This is a bath that doesn't cost any money!"

Liu Bin smiled and shook his head. The fog was indeed a bit thick today. The clothes on him and his men had long been soaked. It was no different from being fished out of the sea.

"Zhao Dahai."

"I had someone make a pot of fish soup with lots of ginger."

"Hurry up and take a shower, change your clothes, and then drink a few more bowls of soup!"

Ding Dawen told Zhao Dahai that when he saw the fog was quite thick, he called out to the people in the kitchen to cook the fish soup and added more ginger.

It is still summer and the weather is relatively warm, but everyone who has been out to sea knows that although it looks warm, it can be very cold at night, or the humidity is very high.

You have to work when fishing and you may not feel much, but when you stop your body will definitely feel cold. You need to drink some hot soup or ginger soup, which is good for your body.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all nodded and immediately took a hot bath, changed their clothes, and when they returned to the deck, Ding Dawen called the people in the kitchen and brought up a pot of fish soup. Everyone filled a bowl and drank it while it was hot.

"Hey!"

"Comfortable!"

Liu Bin wiped the sweat from his forehead and drank two bowls of boiling hot fish soup with ginger in one breath. He felt very comfortable and felt that all the cool air in his body was coming out from his pores.

"If I wait a while before eating and taking a nap, it would be really comfortable!"

As Zhong Shizhu spoke, he looked up at the large mackerel weighing more than 20 kilograms that were being hoisted from the speedboat, and he was very happy.

"Yo!"

"You caught a horse friend? Did you go to the island reef foam area?"

Gao Zhicheng walked out of the cabin and saw those horse friends at once. He was very surprised.

Ding Dawen had said that Zhao Dahai was unlikely to go fishing in the island reef foam area recently, especially in the last few days, but he didn't expect that he went there again now.

Gao Zhicheng went fishing yesterday and went to sleep when he came back, but he was already unable to sleep at four in the morning. At about five o'clock, he heard Zhao Dahai coming back, so he got up and went out to check.

I originally thought that Zhao Dahai and his friends were fishing for black sea bream or yellow croaker fish, but I didn't expect that they were fishing for black sea bream. Moreover, these black sea bream were all large in size, and the key was that there seemed to be a lot of them.

“I didn’t go to the island reef foam area.”

Lei Dayou shook his head.

This time, when Gao Zhicheng saw that his group had caught some mackerel, he thought they had gone to the island reef foam area. This is because mackerel have always been caught in the island reef foam area, and Zhao Dahai and his group have caught very large mackerel before, but this time they really did not go to the island reef foam area.

"No, right? Didn't you go to the island reef foam area? Aren't there other fishing spots?"

"Is there any other place near this place where you can catch sea bass or mackerel?"

Gao Zhicheng's eyes widened suddenly. He knew exactly what the meaning of this sentence was.

"When we were out at sea this time, we unexpectedly encountered a burst of water on the sea surface when we passed a place. We originally thought it was sea bass, but after trying it, we found it was mackerel. We simply chased the school of mackerel and fished for several hours. Now the whole speedboat is full of mackerel, and most of them are about 20 to 30 kilograms in size."

While drinking fish soup, Zhao Dahai talked about the experience of this fishing trip. To be honest, he did not expect something like this to happen. He just wanted to continue fishing for yellow chicken or black sea bream, but halfway through, he saw the water exploding on the sea surface, and even if he was looking up, he could see or hear the sound that there were a lot of big fish.

Zhao Dahai tried two rods and immediately caught a mackerel. He simply kept fishing for the entire school of mackerel all night.

Facts have proved that my choice was right. I fished until dawn and caught huge carps weighing 20 to 30 kilograms.

Now the entire speedboat is full of horse riders of this size, making a lot of money.

"what?"

"There are schools of mackerel, and there is no fixed fishing spot. Have you found any schools of mackerel?"

As soon as Wu Weimin walked out of the cabin, he heard what Zhao Dahai said and was very surprised.

"Correct!"

"There is no fixed punctuation point. I just happened to come across a school of fish like this."

"We had to drive a speedboat and chase the fish to catch them, but the fish school was really big, and we really made a lot of money on this trip."

"The price of mackerel, especially a large one of this size, is much higher than the price of sea bass of the same size."

Zhong Shizhu was very happy.

"what!"

"Boss Gao. Boss Wu."

"It's a pity that you didn't go fishing with us."

"This kind of fishing is so much fun, chasing after the fish. This must be the kind of fishing you want most."

Liu Bin looked at Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong who had just walked out of the cabin. They went out to sea to fish just to make money, while Gao Zhicheng and his people went out to sea for fun. Fishing in one place is really not as fun as chasing schools of fish like this.
