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

Chapter 1586 Fishing for Grouper with a String of Hooks?
Lei Dayou and Liu Bin drank some water and, seeing that Ding Dawen's large fishing boat was ready, immediately boarded the speedboat again.

Ding Dawen definitely doesn't know where Zhao Dahai is fishing, so he has to lead the way.

"This is absolutely amazing! How could anyone possibly find a place like this?"

Shi Guangming looked at Lei Dayou and Liu Bin's speedboat leading the way, and slapped the back of his head hard. What was happening was really unbelievable. He really couldn't imagine how Zhao Dahai had found such a place.

"It's definitely not something you can find on purpose."

"If the seawater is relatively shallow, it's not so bad, but the seawater around the artificial islands is very deep."

"It's at least 80 to 100 meters deep, and in some places it can be even deeper."

"I guess it wasn't something they specifically looked for, but rather they just happened to run into it."

It's highly unlikely that Zhao Shide specifically sought this out; he was probably just fishing for grouper using the usual methods when he started catching more and more, which is when he realized something was wrong.

Shi Guangming thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case; it was almost impossible for someone to have deliberately found such a place.

"Sometimes you have to admit that Zhao Dahai is very good at fishing, but he is also very lucky."

"wrong!"

"You can't say that!"

"Zhao Dahai is definitely very lucky, but most of the time it's because he's very smart. He often notices things that others don't while fishing, which is why he's able to catch fish, or discover things that others can't, including finding a place like this where he can fish all night long and still catch grouper."

As Shi Guangming spoke, he kept nodding to himself. At first, he thought that Zhao Dahai was just lucky to find such a place, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't believe that it was just good luck.

That's part of the reason, but the real reason is that Zhao Dahai is very quick-witted and can immediately notice something is wrong.

"There's no need to worry about what's going on!"

"Zhao Dahai and his group are just people who go out to sea to fish!"

"If we can find a place where there are fish, and there are always fish, then that's good enough!"

"The biggest problem now is whether we can find the real reason why so many groupers keep appearing in this place. If we find the pattern, everything will be fine. If we don't find the pattern, it's unlikely that we can catch a lot of fish in this place."

Zhao Shi didn't care at all how Zhao Dahai found this place. Sometimes you have to rely on skill, and sometimes you really have to rely on luck.

However, no matter what, there is one very important thing: we must find out why there are such large groupers in this place, and why there are so many groupers clustered together.

You need to find the pattern to consistently catch a lot of fish in this spot; otherwise, it's completely useless.

"Aren't the big fishing boats going to dock in that spot again?"

"Zhao Dahai will definitely go fishing somewhere else. Aren't we just killing time?"

"I'll fish on this fishing boat and try to figure out if there's any pattern to the place."

Shi Guangming knew that this matter was not easy to come by.

Anything can happen in the ocean, and many things don't even make sense.

It's possible that no matter what we do, we won't be able to find this pattern.

Zhao Shi nodded; this was the only way.

2 p.m.

Ding Dawen drove his large fishing boat and stopped at the location designated by Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua boarded the large fishing boat via the gangway.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming had already called the people in the kitchen to cook the meal, and they immediately brought it to the deck of the large fishing boat.

Without saying a word, Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, along with Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua, sat down and started eating heartily.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming waited until Zhao Dahai and the others had almost finished eating before asking about the whole incident.

"what!"

"Have you been fishing here since you went out to sea last night?"

Shi Guangming was startled.

Zhao Dahai went out to sea to fish yesterday, just before it got dark.

By this point in time, it's not just been all night, but almost twenty hours.

If everyone is fishing in one place, you can imagine how many fish there are in that place.

"Correct!"

"We went out to sea yesterday and have been fishing here until now."

“I’ve been to this place before, and you can definitely catch a lot of fish here, but I never imagined you could catch so many.”

Zhao Dahai vigorously wiped the corner of his mouth.

I'm not too tired from fishing for so long, but I'm really hungry.

There was food on the speedboat, but it was nowhere near as good as what was cooked at the big fish farm. More importantly, there was no time to eat; they were fishing for grouper one after another.

All they could think about was making money; they completely ignored their hunger.

Lei Dayou and Liu Bin drove away in their speedboat, but they still had to keep an eye on the other speedboats around them, worried that they might squeeze in.

Only now, at this moment, can I truly feel at ease.

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhao Dahai couldn't help but yawn. He chatted with Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming for a few minutes, then stood up and went back to his cabin to shower and sleep.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua all ate, took a shower, and went to sleep.

"You really fished in one place for so long and caught so many fish!"

Shi Guangming watched as Ding Dawen was calling on the people on the fishing boat to hoist all the grouper from the two speedboats onto the large fishing boat and put it into the live water tank. The more he watched, the more surprised he became.

"On the other hand, perhaps only Zhang Dahai could do something like this, or rather, only Zhao Dahai would encounter something like this. Who would have thought that such a deep pit could be used to fish for so long?"

Zhao Shi sighed.

It has long been known that artificial islands and reefs not only have fish, but a great many fish.

But I never expected to catch so many fish at the same fishing spot. "Zhao Dahai is right, there must be something wrong with this deep pit, otherwise it would be impossible to keep catching so many groupers for such a long time."

Zhao Shi took a deep drag on the water pipe he was holding. Zhao Dahai had already explained the whole process.

The fishing spots for rock fishing are different from those for sea bass and black sea bream. Generally, you can only catch two or three fish in one spot before you have to move on to another place to have a chance to catch fish again. However, Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu came here to fish last night, and they have been able to catch fish ever since. This is not right, and it is very wrong.

"Ding Dawen and the others are working."

"Once they finish their work, we can cast our lines and see if we can still catch fish in this deep pit at this time of day!"

Shi Guangming pointed impatiently at Ding Dawen, who was working, eager to see if they could still catch grouper from the deep pit at two or three in the afternoon. He especially wanted to know if they could catch them one after another; if that were the case, it would be incredible—Zhao Dahai had found a place with not only many grouper, but a great many grouper.

Zhao Shi nodded, agreeing with what they said. He was eager to cast his line and see if he could catch any grouper, but it seemed impossible for the time being. It would take at least three hours to hoist so many grouper from the speedboat onto the large fishing boat, by which time it would already be dark.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming waited while smoking, and it wasn't until the sun went down and the entire sky was ablaze with fiery red sunset clouds that Ding Dawen finally finished his work.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were already impatient and immediately set up their fishing rods and cast their lines.

"No way? That fast? Does that mean the grouper in this pit is still as ferocious as before?"

Shi Guangming glanced speechlessly at Zhao Shi standing next to him. Just as Zhao Dahai mentioned the depth of the water, the stone fish immediately took the bait.

"what!"

"I have no idea how this happened. Anyway, when the water was at the depth that Zhao Dahai mentioned, the fish took the bait."

"Why do I think fishing is so simple? If it were really that simple, I could easily catch thousands of kilograms of fish at sea."

Looking at the constantly spinning electric winch and the curve of the pole, Zhao Shi knew that the hooked fish was definitely a grouper, and it looked to weigh about fifty pounds.

"This isn't your skill! Zhao Dahai found this place and knew that the fish in the sea bite very fiercely. Otherwise, how could you possibly catch such fish!"

Shi Guangming gave Zhao Shi a disdainful look.

The fact that Zhao Shi was able to catch fish, especially so easily, had nothing to do with his own skill.

Zhao Dahai has found this place and already knows what kind of water layer has fish here.

More importantly, there are a lot of fish in the pit right now, and they are biting very fiercely.

Whether it's myself, Zhao Shi, or Zhong Shizhu, they can all catch fish easily. Whether they can catch fish or not has absolutely nothing to do with their skills.

"coming!"

While talking to Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming kept a close eye on the rod on the gun mount in front of him, which was almost hooked with live shrimp. Less than two minutes after arriving at Shuicheng, a fish had already taken the bait.

"No way? Are these fish crazy? Otherwise, why would they bite the hook like this?"

Looking at the bent shape of the pole, Shi Guangming knew that the fish weighed about thirty pounds.

This has absolutely nothing to do with whether the fish is big or small. The most important thing is the bite; it's just too fierce.

Shi Guangming really didn't know how many fish were in the deep pit at this time for something like this to happen.

"Ding Dawen".

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't just stand there, grab your fishing rod and come fishing."

Seeing that Ding Dapeng had finished his work, Shi Guangming immediately called out loudly, urging him to come and fish.

Shi Guangming's condition improved, and he immediately brought over the gun mount, installed it, and then tied the hook assembly with the pole.

"Yo!"

"Are the groupers in this deep pit really starving?"

"Otherwise, how could the bite be so fierce?"

Ding Dawen was startled.

With a live shrimp hooked on, I stepped into the deep water and almost immediately a fish took the bait.

Ever since he went out to sea with Zhao Dahai to work, he would fish whenever the fishing boat stopped, and he caught quite a few fish, some of which even weighed over 100 pounds.

However, no matter what, such a fierce bite is really rare.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Shi!"

"I feel like the grouper here could be caught using a multi-hook rig?"

Ding Dawen was not joking; the idea had truly flashed into his mind in an instant.

When Ding Dawen saw that Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming had already pulled the grouper out of the water, he immediately grabbed a long-handled landing net to help them net the fish.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were stunned when they heard Ding Dawen say that.

Using a multi-hook rig to fish for grouper?

Is this really okay? This is something no one has ever done before.

However, upon closer examination, this approach is not entirely without merit.

Those who go out to sea to fish or angle are well aware that multi-hook rigs are generally used to catch smaller fish. Another crucial reason is that when there are many fish in the sea, multi-hook rigs can be used to catch more fish in a shorter time.

There are so many fish in this deep pit now. Even the big ones, even the valuable groupers, you can really try using a multi-hook rig. You might be able to catch two or even more fish at once.

"Old Zhao."

"What do you think? I feel like what Ding Dawen said makes sense."

"Why don't we give it a try and see if it works, and see if we can catch a few groupers in one go?"

Shi Guangming vigorously wiped his face. There was a bit of wind and waves on the side of the fishing boat, and his hair was wet in no time when they were being flung up.

Ding Dawen's idea is really excellent.

I think it's worth a try to see what's going on and whether I can catch several groupers at once.

If it really works, you can catch more grouper in the same amount of time and earn more money.
