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

Chapter 1514 One Fish, One Catch
Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui were both stunned for a moment.

Zhao Dahai was fishing right in front of them, and he caught a lot of fish, but no one really thought about how many fish he had caught.

Now that Song Tianping has done the math, he finds it to be truly astonishing.

"What's so strange about that? Every time Zhao Dahai fishes in that foamy area of ​​the island reef, he always catches this many fish, doesn't he?"

"Hey!"

"Those of us who go out to sea, whether we're fishermen or anglers, the skilled ones are truly remarkable and can make a lot of money."

Song Tianping couldn't help but glance at Zhao Dahai's two speedboats again. The new spot they had found was still hauling sea bass out of the sea at this hour, with almost every one weighing around twenty pounds.

With so many fish caught, how could you not make money? How could you not make a lot of money?
"Should we stay here and watch? Or should we just leave?"

Xu Xiaochui shook his head.

Zhao Dahai was indeed very skilled at fishing, but the fish he caught had nothing to do with him.

Watching Zhao Dahai catch so many fish and make so much money is really getting to me.

Xu Dachui nodded, watching the speedboat leave. He couldn't stand watching Zhao Dahai work so hard to make money.

If there weren't so many speedboats around, I might have stayed here, waiting for Zhao Dahai to leave, and then reserving a spot like before, to see if I could catch a few fish.

But right now, there are speedboats all around. If Zhao Dahai's two speedboats leave the fishing spot, he won't be able to get a good spot, so he might as well not wait there.

Song Tianping watched as the Xu brothers, Da Chui and Xiao Chui, drove away in their speedboat. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and drove off in his own speedboat.

"Old Zhao."

"Why are so many people staying here?"

"Are these people just going to stand here and watch Zhao Dahai fish because they can't catch any fish themselves?"

"Wouldn't it be better to use that time to find a place to fish yourself?"

Shi Guangming glanced at the surrounding sea and saw that more and more speedboats were coming to watch the excitement.

"What's the point of telling me this?"

"How am I supposed to know what these people around me are thinking? Or is it really possible that I'm just sitting here watching? I'd definitely be looking around to see if I can find another fishing spot."

Zhao Shi shook his head, truly unable to understand why so many people were gathering around him.

These anglers certainly don't have Zhao Dahai's skills; they couldn't possibly pinpoint the location of sea bass so quickly. But at this moment, the waterline on the sea surface hasn't disappeared yet.

If you can't find the right spot, try a few different places to see where the fish are.

If there are no fish in one place, try another place, or even several places; you might just find some.

In any case, there's absolutely no need to stay here and watch the show right now, or rather, it's completely useless.

"Hey!"

"I think what you said makes sense."

Shi Guangming was taken aback.

I really didn't expect this, but I have to admit that Zhao Shi was right. Watching the excitement here is really pointless. If we find more places and cast our lines more often, we might actually be able to find the sea bass.

"Isn't that how it is? These people just found a spot, saw there were no sea bass in the sea, and thought they couldn't find sea bass anywhere. Seeing Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu catch so many fish here, they simply stopped fishing and came to watch the show."

Zhao Shi looked at the people on the speedboats around him with great disdain.

"Forget it!"

"You're clearly just talking without understanding the situation."

"If these people can't catch any fish, they must lack patience. They should try going to a different spot or something."

"Anyone would feel extremely discouraged in front of a top expert like Zhao Dahai."

At first, Shi Guangming thought Zhao Shi's words made a lot of sense, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately shook his head.

There's nothing wrong with saying that, but it's actually not easy to do it in practice.

"Correct!"

"Second Grandpa."

"What you said is absolutely correct, but it's really not easy to do!"

Liu Lei gasped for breath and put away the fishing rod in his hand.

I'm already fishing very fast, and I'm quite strong, so I can keep fishing for longer periods of time. But compared to people like Zhong Shizhu, I'm still far behind.

I'd been fishing with gritted teeth for half an hour, but I simply couldn't continue. I felt completely drained, so I had to stop and rest to avoid disturbing Zhao Dahai and the others.

Liu Lei took a water cup and drank it in big gulps. Zhao Shi's words were absolutely correct; the logic was definitely sound. It was just that putting it into practice was really not easy. Or perhaps the other people fishing on the speedboats around them had different goals from Zhao Dahai. Zhao Dahai wanted to catch more fish, but the people around him, after catching a certain number of fish, knew they definitely wouldn't be able to catch any more that day and could only stop. Seeing Zhao Dahai catch so many fish, they just gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Liu Lei thought about it carefully. If it were him, he might do the same. It would be really difficult to keep changing places to try and catch sea bass, as Zhao Shi said.

"what!"

"Why should we bother with this? They can do whatever they want. If they catch a fish, they won't share it with us, and if they don't catch a fish, we don't need to share their money."

"Regardless, after today's incident, these fishermen around here will have a clearer understanding of just how skilled Zhao Dahai is at fishing. They will definitely talk about what they saw here today." Shi Guangming didn't care at all whether the people on the speedboats around him were there to watch the show or to fish; in any case, these people had nothing to do with him and his group.

"Brother Dahai is really amazing. How can he do it? In my opinion, the places he chooses are all on the waterline. These locations are not much different from other places. In fact, sometimes the places Brother Dahai chooses are not as beautiful as the places chosen by the people on other speedboats around. I really can't understand why the people on other speedboats around can't catch any fish, but Brother Dahai's places are perfect for catching fish every time. He's really unmatched."

Liu Lei really couldn't understand this matter.

The people on all the speedboats around were fishing for sea bass in the island foam area. Some of them had been fishing for sea bass in the island foam area for more than ten or twenty years and were very experienced.

At first, they didn't pay attention to the fishing line, but when they saw Zhao Dahai leading his group to fish for sea bass in this spot, they knew that the sea bass were here. As a result, everyone came here to fish for sea bass, but very few of the spots they chose actually caught any fish.

Liu Lei really couldn't understand why these people couldn't catch fish in the places they chose. If only a small number of people couldn't catch fish in the places they chose, it would be somewhat understandable, but the fact that most people, even the vast majority of people, couldn't catch fish in the places they chose was truly baffling.

"Liu Lei."

"There's really nothing strange about this."

"In your eyes, and in the eyes of us, the places Zhao Dahai chose are no different from the places chosen by others around here. Or rather, the places Zhao Dahai chose are sometimes even inferior to the places chosen by other speedboats around here."

"But this is really just how it appears to you and me; in reality, these things are definitely different."

Shi Guangming shook his head.

It's perfectly normal for Liu Lei to have such thoughts. He sees it the same way. He really thinks the places Zhao Dahai chose are unremarkable, or rather, not much different from the locations chosen by other speedboats around. But the key point is that the places Zhao Dahai chose are really good for catching a lot of sea bass, while the locations chosen by other speedboats around can't catch any fish.

"The routes that Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhong are taking for their deep-sea fishing boats are not much different from those of other deep-sea fishing boats. Even the fishing spots are not much different."

"They are almost all exactly the same."

"But Zhao Dahai said that those fishing spots, or how deep each fishing spot is, actually catch more fish than other sea fishing boats."

"Even if some deep-sea fishing boats noted down the exact fishing spots that Shi Zhong used for them, they still couldn't catch enough fish, or the fish they caught were not as good as the fish that Shi Zhong's fishing boats caught when they were anchored in that spot."

"I really don't know what to do about this."

"Ultimately, it's because Zhao Dahai really has that kind of ability, and he can really enable the people on the speedboat or the deep-sea fishing boat to catch enough fish."

As Shi Guangming spoke, he himself became somewhat unsure of how to best address the matter.

Many things appear the same to him, including to Liu Lei, but to Zhao Dahai, they are not only different, but vastly different.

If I had to give a reason, I really couldn't, at least not a solid one. But that's just how it is: Zhao Dahai always caught more fish at the fishing spots he chose than anyone else.

Liu Lei thought about it carefully, and it really was true.

Why are Shih Chieh-hua and Shih Chung-wei's sea fishing boats so sought after? Ultimately, it's because they can catch enough fish.

Why are they able to catch so many fish?

It was the specific location that Zhao Dahai had chosen!

Even if other people know this place, they don't know it precisely, or even if they do know it precisely, they don't know how many meters of water depth to fish in.

All of this was told to Shi Jiehua or Shi Zhongwei by Zhao Dahai. They said that by simply following the instructions, the people on the fishing boats could catch more fish than those on other fishing boats. It was truly amazing.

"what!"

"You really can't argue with something like this."

"If a sea fishing boat catches so many fish, the other anglers are definitely watching it all day long, wanting to know why they were able to catch so many fish."

“If Brother Dahai were on a fishing boat, it would make sense, but he hasn’t been out fishing with the boat lately, and the people on the boat are still catching much more than others. This is really unacceptable to them.”

As Liu Lei spoke, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Zhao Dahai is an extremely skilled fisherman, and he has now gained recognition throughout the fishing community. Whenever Zhao Dahai is on a speedboat or a fishing boat, he can help everyone catch a lot of fish. However, the key issue is that Zhao Dahai was not on Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhongwei's fishing boats on these recent trips.

However, many people who booked fishing spots still managed to catch fish, and the number of fish they caught was often much greater than that of other sea fishing boats, which was truly astonishing.

Zhao Dahai looked at the fishing rod in his hand. It had been almost ten minutes since any fish had taken the bait. After thinking for a moment, he called out to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou to pack up and stop fishing.

"Hurry up and drink some more water."

"It'll be time to get busy fishing again soon."

Zhong Shizhu wiped the seawater off his face and shouted loudly at Lei Dayou and Liu Bin.

Zhao Dahai told Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou with a smile that they would stop fishing here for the day and go back to the big fishing boat to eat, sleep, and rest. They would not go out to sea to fish again until the early hours of tomorrow.

"what?"

"Are there no fish left here? Have all the fish been caught along the fishing line?"

Liu Bin was stunned for a moment. He and Zhong Shizhu had the same idea and thought they would continue fishing. He didn't expect Zhao Dahai to say that he would stop fishing. This could only mean that there were no more sea bass in the water.

"Correct!"

"There are no fish left here!"

"Let's stop fishing here for today!"

Zhao Dahai nodded, took a water cup, and drank the water in big gulps. When he was fishing, he didn't care and didn't feel thirsty, but now that he had stopped, he really felt his throat was on fire. He drank half a cup of water in one go before stopping.
