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

Chapter 1522 No big one! It's still small!

"what?"

"Zhao Dahai and the others are fishing for threadfin bream right now, right? How come the threadfin bream they caught look so big?"

Song Tianping's eyes widened suddenly.

He and the Xu brothers, Da Chui and Xiao Chui, caught some threadfin bream, but the threadfin bream were all very small.

It's not that you can't make money from them; in fact, you can, but the price is really low. If I had to say, I'd rather catch a sea bass that weighs five or six pounds, or even seven or eight pounds.

But from afar, they saw Zhao Dahai's two speedboats catching threadfin bream one after another from the sea, except that the threadfin bream were much larger than those that he and the Xu brothers, Da Chui and Xiao Chui, had caught.

"The threadfin bream that Zhao Dahai and his team caught are at least twenty pounds each, and some might even be thirty pounds!"

Xu Xiaochui glanced over and discovered that Zhao Dahai's two speedboats were indeed fishing for threadfin bream at this moment, and the threadfin bream were all very large.

"Why is it that the threadfin we catch here are all so small, while Zhao Dahai catches all such big threadfins?"

Xu Xiaochui was furious.

It's one thing if the fish I catch are relatively small, but it's another when Zhao Dahai and the others catch very large threadfin bream, which is really unbearable.

"What can we do? When we were fishing for sea bass here, they were all smaller than this one. All the big sea bass went inside, but our speedboat just can't get through."

"Now threadfin bream are starting to appear here, but they are still relatively small. The larger threadfin bream have all gone inside, just like the larger sea bass from before."

Xu Dachui knew exactly what was going on.

Ultimately, it was because the speedboats of himself, Song Tianping, and the others around them could only reach the edge of the entire sea surface in the island and reef foam area.

In such places, not only are the sea bass smaller, but even the threadfin bream are smaller.

The larger ones are all inside the island and reef foam area, right where Zhao Dahai's two speedboats are.

Xu Dachui wasn't unaware that large sea bass or large threadfin bream could be found inside the foamy reef area, but there was truly no way to get inside. His speedboat, including Song Tianping's, couldn't enter the foamy reef area where the current was extremely fast.

If you really have to go in, not only will you not be able to fish, but you will definitely be in danger.

Xu Xiaochui and Song Tianping stared at Zhao Dahai's speedboat, their faces growing increasingly dark.

"Damn it!"

"Forget about sea bass weighing 20 or 30 pounds; all we're catching now are threadfin bream weighing 20 or 30 pounds."

"This is a real valuable item!"

Xu Xiaochui was getting angrier and angrier, to the point where smoke was practically billowing from his head.

A one- or two-pound threadfin is not very useful; it really can't compare to a three-, four-, or five-pound sea bass.

However, if both are 20-pound fish, the price of threadfin bream is two to three times that of sea bass.

Zhao Dahai's two speedboats initially caught only large sea bass, earning him significantly more money than his group. Now, they've started catching threadfin bream weighing 20-30 pounds, and this time he's earning even more than they did before.

Xu Xiaochui became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it, and the less she could accept this reality.

"Who says it isn't true? Why is it like this? Why are the sea bass bigger than us when we're fishing for them, and now the threadfin is even bigger than us when we're fishing for them? It's unbearable. Does this mean that all the fish in the sea have been caught by Zhao Dahai and his group? Especially the big ones."

"Does that mean Zhao Dahai has made all the money in the sea? Are we all just destined to starve?"

Song Tianping grew angrier as he spoke. He was already somewhat reluctant to fish for these small threadfin bream, and now, given the situation, he was even less inclined to do so.

"Forget it!"

"What's the point of catching threadfin bream like this? Even if you could sell them for money, how much would you get?"

Upon hearing what Song Tianping said, Xu Xiaochui immediately stopped fishing and decided he didn't want to anymore.

Seeing Xu Xiaochui's expression, Xu Dachui initially wanted to scold him, but then he thought that a mackerel of that size really wasn't very useful, so he sighed and decided to give up fishing altogether.

"Big brother."

What do we do now?

"Are you suggesting we just wait here and watch Zhao Dahai catch a big threadfin and make a fortune?"

Xu Xiaochui was very frustrated. He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then picked up his water glass and drank a few mouthfuls of water.

"Why don't we just go back?"

"There's really no use being here now, they're all like this, small threadfin bream."

Like Xu Xiaochui, Song Tianping lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Given the current situation, there's really no need for me to stay here any longer.

If you insist on staying here, you can only watch helplessly as Zhao Dahai's two speedboats catch one big mackerel after another, and watch Zhao Dahai make a fortune.

Xu Dachui didn't say anything, he just smoked silently.

Xu Xiaochui could tell from his brother Xu Dachui's expression that he must have some ideas, but he just didn't say them out loud.

"Xu Dachui".

"You don't actually think there's any chance of catching a big fish in this situation, do you?"

Song Tianping frowned.

It's actually quite late now, and the sea bass tide has already passed.

Although there are threadfin bream now, they are too small.

Given the current situation, it's really time to go home.

In addition, although the sea bass I caught today weren't very big, the quantity was decent, so I've already made a profit and there's no need to stay here any longer.

What are we going back for now?

"We might as well wait here and see if a big wrasse comes up to us in a while."

"If we can catch a few, we can make a lot more money."

Xu Dachui let out a long sigh.

There's really no point in fishing for these small threadfin bream; I could just leave immediately. But I want to wait and see if I can catch a bigger one.

Is there really such an opportunity?

Song Tianping immediately perked up.

After fishing for so many years, how could I not know that a 20-pound or even 30-pound threadfin bream can fetch a lot of money?

The most crucial question now is whether there is any chance of catching such a fish.

"Who can stand being so sure about something like this?"

"If you want to catch big fish, why don't you just drive your speedboat into the foam area right now?"

Xu Dachui glanced at Song Tianping.

Big threadfin bream? How could there not be? Zhao Dahai's two speedboats are currently fishing for big threadfin bream weighing twenty or thirty pounds one after another, but these big threadfin bream are not on the edge of the island reef foam area, but inside the island reef foam area.

If Song Tianping wanted to catch such large threadfin bream, he could simply drive his speedboat to the island's foam area, find a large foam area, and he would definitely be able to catch some, and quite a lot of them.

"Xu Dachui".

"Are you kidding me? If my speedboat were as big as Zhao Dahai's, I would have already gone in. There would be no need for you to bring this up."

Song Tianping was extremely depressed.

How could I not know that large threadfin bream could be caught in the foam areas of islands and reefs, especially along the edges of the larger foam areas?
Even if you don't know it yourself, just watching Zhao Dahai fishing for one threadfin fish after another makes you understand what's going on.

The crux of the problem is that I really don't dare to go in with my own speedboat.

Not only did they dare not go in with their own speedboat, but the two brothers, Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui, also dared not go in with their speedboats.

Everyone could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

Xu Dachui couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

If you insist on saying it this way, you're actually mocking yourself.

"You're not new to fishing!"

"Given the current situation, is it possible to catch a large sea bass, or perhaps a threadfin?"

"It's possible we'll catch it! It's possible we won't!"

Whether or not we can catch it is really not up to us.

"If there are a lot of threadfin bream in the foam area, especially the big ones, they may move towards the top, and then we may be able to catch them."

"On the contrary, if there aren't many large threadfin bream in the bubble zone, they definitely won't come up here!"

"If that's really the case, then we can forget about catching any of these big threadfin bream!"

Xu Dachui sighed and, without beating around the bush, said directly that given the current situation, he really couldn't say for sure that he would have a chance to catch a big threadfin.

"Ugh!"

"Xu Dachui!"

"The chances of finding such a large threadfin bream are actually quite slim!"

"It's not that there's absolutely no chance, but the chances are really slim."

"If there were more large threadfin bream, they would have already moved to this side. It's impossible for any small threadfin bream to appear here."

"Today's fish school is clearly composed of a few large threadfin bream with a large number of small threadfin bream."

"The seawater in the foamy area flows very fast, and the small threadfin bream can't withstand it, so they move to the side."

"The large threadfin bream can withstand the currents that all flow towards areas where the seawater moves very fast, and they all gather in those large foamy areas."

Song Tianping wasn't unwilling to catch large threadfin bream, but given the current situation, there really weren't any good opportunities.

Xu Dachui didn't want to admit it, but he had to: Song Tianping was absolutely right. Today, the school of threadfin bream was indeed large fish leading smaller fish, and the smaller fish far outnumbered the larger ones.

The same situation applies to the sea bass we just caught. That's why Zhao Dahai's two speedboats could catch sea bass weighing 20 to 30 pounds inside the foam area, while we could only catch sea bass weighing 3 to 5 pounds at the edge of the foam area.

The threadfin bream is simply repeating the story of the sea bass.

"you're right!"

"That's really how it is! But what can you do about it?"

"Are you saying we're just going to leave like this? Are we just going to go back like this?"

"If you want to go back, then go back. I'll have to wait here for a while longer to see if there's an opportunity."

Xu Dachui realized that Song Tianping was absolutely right; such an opportunity was extremely slim, almost impossible.

Wait a while, and maybe you'll catch one or two fish. That would be a good thing, and you could make a lot of money.

If we go back now, we'll have no chance at all.

Song Tianping nodded; Xu Dachui's idea was fine.

There's no need to rush. I'll definitely fish here a few more times and see if I can catch a big one.

Xu Xiaochui finished his cigarette, picked up his fishing rod, hooked it up, and prepared to continue fishing.

"Little one!"

"Another one weighing two pounds!"

……

"One pound!"

"How is that possible?"

Why do the fish keep getting smaller and smaller?

……

Xu Xiaochui caught three fish in a row, one after another, but the largest one weighed two jin and the smallest one weighed less than one jin.

"Big brother!"

"It's not that there aren't fish now; on the contrary, there are plenty of fish in this sea, it's just that their heads are really too small!"

Xu Xiaochui was a little helpless.

Are there no fish in the sea?

Not only are there fish, but there are tons of fish!

These fish are just too small. You could catch a lot if you really wanted to, but you wouldn't make much money selling them.

"real!"

"The sea is full of fish, but we can only catch these small ones!"

Song Tianping looked down at the fishing rod in his hand.

A fish just took the bait; it was incredibly strong, and if it were a sea bass, it would definitely weigh five pounds. But when we pulled it to the side of the speedboat, we found it was a threadfin bream weighing less than a pound.

Song Tianping looked a little dejected.

The fish were right there in the sea; none of them immediately took flight.

I'd rather not catch any fish than fish this size of threadfin, but now the sea is full of threadfins like this, and they'll bite even if I don't want to fish.

Song Tianping couldn't help but glance at Zhao Dahai, who was sitting not far away, fishing continuously with his speedboat, catching all kinds of threadfin bream weighing twenty or thirty pounds. He was extremely envious.
