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

Chapter 1519 The Big Speedboat is Really Delicious
Xu Dachui's face turned ashen. His good mood from catching a five- or six-pound sea bass vanished instantly. He stared wide-eyed at the huge foamy area in the distance, not wanting to say a word.

"Damn it!"

"Big speedboats are really in high demand. You might not really see their usefulness normally, but now you realize how good they are. Big speedboats are really great."

"Who doesn't know that there are fish, and big sea bass, right next to the largest foam area right now? But our speedboat isn't big enough to get there."

Xu Xiaochui was indignant. The current situation made him feel powerless, unsure of what to do with his strength. When he arrived today, he found that the waves were much bigger than usual, making fishing extremely difficult. However, for sea bass anglers, this wasn't considered a particularly big wave. More importantly, this kind of weather was actually a good thing in a way, as there would be a lot of sea bass in the sea, and they would be very large. As it turned out, this was indeed the case. He and his older brother, Xu Dachui, caught sea bass shortly after casting their lines. In less than half an hour, the two of them caught about ten sea bass together, all of them weighing five or six pounds.

There shouldn't have been any problem. If the waves were too big, my brother and I wouldn't be able to reach the innermost spots on our speedboat. All the other speedboats around us would be in the same situation, and we would all be fishing on the edge.

But the key point is that Zhao Dahai's two speedboats arrived very quickly and could go directly to the very center of the island's foam area, fishing right next to the largest foam area. As it turned out, in such winds and waves, the largest foam area was where the sea bass were the biggest.

It was a bit far away, so I couldn't see very clearly, but based on my years of fishing experience, a sea bass weighing around 20 or 30 pounds wasn't just big; the key was that it was incredibly expensive. Compared to that, the five or six-pound sea bass that my brother Xu Dachui and I caught were nothing. Moreover, Zhao Dahai's two speedboats were catching one after another, while my brother Xu Dachui, along with the people on the other speedboats around us, could only catch one or two after a long time.

"What can we do? Our speedboat is just too small. There's really no way to fish in this situation. We can only fish here."

"There are definitely fish, but the size and quantity of them are quite different. So, today we can only watch Zhao Dahai make a lot of money."

Xu Dachui was extremely frustrated. When he first came here to fish, he caught a few fish and knew that as long as he fished seriously today, he should be able to catch quite a few fish, barring any accidents. A thousand catties was definitely out of the question, but catching three or four hundred catties shouldn't be too much of a problem. But now, seeing the size and number of sea bass that Zhao Dahai kept catching from the sea, he really didn't know how to describe his feelings.

"What can we do? Our speedboats are really not big enough, including most of the speedboats that people usually come here to fish for sea bass. We can only watch helplessly as the waves are like this."

Xu Xiaochui sighed. Sometimes going out to sea is like this. The bigger the fishing boat or speedboat, the more advantageous it is in such bad weather. Fortunately, his and his brother's speedboat was big enough. Otherwise, in this kind of weather, even if they wanted to go out to sea to fish, they would have no way to get here.

The number of people fishing in the island and reef foam area today is actually less than usual, and by a significant amount.

The most crucial point is that the weather here today is just too bad; even small speedboats can't get here to fish.

Xu Xiaochui glanced at Zhao Dahai's speedboat, then looked down at the deck of the speedboat he was standing on, and turned to look at Xu Dachui.

“I know what you’re trying to say, that you want to buy a big speedboat, but is it really necessary for us? I mean, there are only a few days a year with weather like this. It’s really not worth it for us to buy a big speedboat just for this.”

Xu Dachui could tell from Xu Xiaochui's expression that he was thinking about something. In fact, every time he saw Zhao Dahai's big speedboat fishing in the island and reef foam area, especially when the weather was bad or the current was strong, he and Xu Xiaochui would think about whether they should buy a big speedboat.

However, this matter was discussed several times, but ultimately no result was reached. The main and crucial point is that for both Xu Xiaochui and himself, there are very few times when they would actually need such a large speedboat.

If I needed it frequently, I would have bought it long ago; there's no way I would have waited until now.

"Ugh!"

"This is really a huge headache!"

“If we had a big speedboat today, we could definitely catch a lot more fish, but the problem is, as you said, there aren’t many times throughout the year when we really need a big speedboat in this kind of weather.”

Xu Xiaochui slapped his face hard.

It's not that my brother and I can't afford a big speedboat, but the problem is that even if we could, it wouldn't be very cost-effective.

This is the main reason why my older brother and I have been so conflicted.

"We don't need to worry about buying a big speedboat anymore; it's basically impossible!"

"We definitely won't catch many sea bass today, and not many big ones either."

"Catch as many fish as you can!"

Xu Dachui was truly at a loss. Given the current situation, all he could do was try to catch as many fish as he could today.

Xu Xiaochui sighed; there was no other way.

"Dry!"

"What's going on here? Why is it that Zhao Dahai always gets the advantage, and such a huge advantage at that? We can only watch from the sidelines!"

Looking at the large foam area that he and the Xu brothers, Da Chui and Xiao Chui, usually occupied, Song Tianping's eyes turned red; he simply couldn't bear it anymore.

At three in the morning, when I was getting ready to go out to sea to fish, I found that the weather had changed and the waves were quite big. I was a little reluctant to go out to fish because I was worried about the danger. But after thinking about it for a long time, I realized that I hadn't made much money recently. Seeing that many other speedboats were going out to sea, I gritted my teeth and drove my speedboat to the island reef foam area.

When I got here, I found that the wind and waves were much bigger than usual, even though my speedboat wasn't very big.

There's no way to get to the very center of the island's foamy area; you can only fish on the edge.

Song Tianping did not go to find Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui, because he knew that the two brothers' situation was almost exactly the same as his own.

The weather was perfect for bass fishing. I found a spot where my speedboat could stay close and stop steadily, cast my line, and soon I caught some fish. But I soon noticed that Zhao Dahai's two speedboats were heading straight for the very center of the island's foamy area, and in the blink of an eye, they were pulling up one huge bass after another.

At first, Song Tianping was able to remain calm, but after an hour, he saw that the fishing speed of the people on Zhao Dahai's speedboat had not slowed down, but instead had become faster and faster, and the sea bass seemed to have become larger and their bites more aggressive.

Song Tianping couldn't take it anymore. When he saw the Xu brothers, Da Chui and Xiao Chui, not far away, he simply drove his speedboat over.

"Song Tianping." "What are you doing here at this hour?"

"Are you saying that because you saw us two brothers fishing here, you're going to come and steal our fish too?"

"There are very few speedboats in the island and reef foam area today, and the current is so strong. You can catch fish anywhere, right? Why do we have to come here?"

Xu Xiaochui glared at Song Tianping when he saw him coming.

"Damn it!"

"These sea bass are so small, what's the point of fishing for them?"

"The sea bass that Zhao Dahai and his crew caught in their two speedboats are the real sea bass!"

Song Tianping pointed to Zhao Dahai's two speedboats.

“You’re right! Those sea bass that Zhao Dahai caught are called sea bass, but the key point is that they are just sea bass that Zhao Dahai caught. What does that have to do with us? If you have that kind of skill, drive your speedboat in and fish right next to Zhao Dahai’s foam area, or fish in one of the other larger foam areas around there.”

"But the key question is whether you can actually do that? With a speedboat like yours, once it gets into the foam zone, who knows where it will end up."

Xu Xiaochui gave Song Tianping a disdainful look.

This person must have come here to vent their frustration after seeing Zhao Dahai catch a big sea bass, or perhaps they wanted to join in cursing Zhao Dahai.

But this is really completely useless.

Zhao Dahai is catching more and more sea bass, while he, his older brother Xu Dachui, and Song Tianping are only catching a few.

How much money Zhao Dahai makes has absolutely nothing to do with us.

"Xu Xiaochui".

"If you talk like that, then there's no point in talking to me at all. If my speedboat were big enough to actually get to this island reef foam area, I wouldn't need to waste my breath talking to you here!"

Song Tianping was even more frustrated. If it were a large speedboat that could enter the island and reef foam area today, it would be easy to catch a lot of large sea bass, at least bigger and more numerous than the fish that could be caught now. But there was no large speedboat.

"Why are my brother and I fishing right here at this time, guarding the edge of this island's foamy area? Isn't it the same principle? Aren't we the same kind of people who don't have big speedboats around?"

"The other people around here who are fishing at this time are in the exact same situation."

"Anyone with a big speedboat would be inside by now; who would be watching the show from the sidelines?"

"There are so many sea bass today, but they're all in the fast current. Our speedboat is just too small, there's really nothing we can do."

Xu Dachui gave the pole a strong jerk, and a sea bass flew onto the speedboat's deck.

While they themselves were no match for Zhao Dahai in fishing, they weren't fools either. They were very experienced and could immediately tell that the sea bass, especially the large ones, were all in the fast current, in the very center of the island and reef foam area. If a speedboat could get into such a place, it would have already gone in and wouldn't be just watching from the sidelines.

"Song Tianping".

"Thinking about this now is useless. You might as well hurry up and fish as much as you can, whatever size you can catch."

Xu Dachui pointed to the water in front of him. There were definitely fish in it at this time, but the fish were not very big or numerous in this reef foam area. However, it was still possible to catch fish.

If you can't catch big fish or too many fish, the only way is to catch as many as you can. Just watching from the sidelines won't do any good.

Song Tianping glanced at Zhao Dahai's speedboat in the distance, sighed, and nodded. Xu Dachui was right. Everyone would want to catch big fish if they could, but if they couldn't, they could only catch as many as they could.

Song Tianping didn't look for another place; he found a spot next to the speedboat owned by the Xu brothers, Da Chui and Xiao Chui, and started fishing.

"Damn it!"

"Everyone else is fishing in the island and reef foam area, so why is Zhao Dahai able to catch so many big sea bass!"

……

"Damn it!"

"This sea bass is way too small!"

……

"Dry!"

"If things continue like this, how will we make any money?"

……

Song Tianping was indignant and kept cursing.

Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui were at a loss when they saw Song Tianping like this. In fact, they felt almost the same way.
