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

Chapter 1600: We've caught a lot of fish!
Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua took a closer look and found that Gao Zhicheng was right. It was clear that the people on these speedboats were just fishing for fun; they had simply hired the captain of a speedboat to fish here.

"There are definitely fish here, but it won't be easy for them to catch them!"

Wu Weimin immediately burst into laughter.

The seabed structure here is very complex. Anyone with experience, especially those who dare to bring people here to fish, can basically find a spot where there are fish.

However, finding a spot with fish doesn't guarantee you'll catch them.

You really can't do it without any skills.

It's easy to get snagged on the bottom, and after a few snags, you definitely won't be able to take it anymore.

"What can we do? Not everyone can find a boat captain like Zhao Dahai."

"A boat captain like Zhao Dahai is one of a kind in the world!"

Lin Zuhua smiled.

Catching fish in this place isn't exactly difficult, but it's definitely not easy either, especially for those who don't fish here often; it's a very challenging task.

The people on those speedboats clearly look like they're fishing here for the first time.

Without much experience, it's really just like Gao Zhicheng said, it's easy to get stuck at the bottom, and if you get stuck too many times, you'll definitely have to leave.

"what!"

"I have a feeling everyone's watching this show!"

Ding Dawen glanced at Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua, then at Gao Zhicheng, and truly felt like he was watching a good show.

"Correct!"

"correct!"

"We're really just watching a good show!"

"If those speedboats hadn't come over, we would have caught at least a dozen more fish by now!"

"Since it's affected our ability to make money or we've made so much less money, isn't it only right that we watch the show?"

Gao Zhicheng smiled and nodded.

Ding Dawen was right; the group of them were just watching the show with amusement.

These speedboats certainly can't fish here for very long, but it will take at least two hours anyway.

The grouper on the seabed was biting very aggressively just now, and I caught a lot less fish in two hours, but there was really nothing I could do.

"Yo!"

"It's at the bottom!"

……

"What's going on? Why is it stuck at the bottom again!"

……

"what!"

"One person has already stopped fishing, and it looks like more people will follow suit!"

……

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua watched with great interest.

When Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming entered the driver's seat, they were momentarily stunned and didn't know what had happened.

Ding Dawen saw Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming, greeted them immediately, and then pointed to several speedboats not far away, explaining the whole situation.

"No way? You guys caught so many groupers at noon?"

Zhao Shi was taken aback.

After failing to fish in the morning, Shi Guangming and I went back to the cabin to sleep. Unexpectedly, when we woke up, we found out that Ding Dawen and his group had caught 2,500 jin, or even 3,000 jin, of grouper.

"Correct!"

"How could this be fake?"

“We originally thought we wouldn’t be able to catch any fish by noon, but when we saw Ding Dawen try it, he not only caught some fish, but the bites were also very aggressive.”

"There were no other speedboats around, and we were getting a little bored. Little did we know that these groupers in the sea were really crazy!"

"We only stopped when these speedboats arrived."

Wu Weimin pointed somewhat dejectedly to several speedboats not far away.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming exchanged a glance, and both of them frowned.

"What's going on? Why are these groupers on the seabed biting so fiercely even in the middle of the day?"

Zhao Shi really couldn't quite understand this matter.

The seawater here is very deep, so the impact on the fish is relatively small at midday, but it still has an effect nonetheless.

The fish in the sea seem to be completely unaffected right now.

"This only proves that there are a lot of groupers in this pit on the seabed, and they are all thinking about eating."

"It took the bait immediately!"

After thinking it over, Shi Guangming concluded that this was the only possibility; otherwise, such a thing could not have happened.

Zhao Shi thought for a moment and nodded.

"It hasn't even been an hour, and we already have to run?"

Lin Zuhua pointed excitedly at the speedboats opposite.

Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming, Gao Zhicheng, and the others immediately turned their heads and looked over, only to find that the people on those speedboats were packing up their poles. Needless to say, they were thinking of moving to another location.

"None of these people have been able to catch any fish in the past hour, and they keep getting snagged on the bottom."

"I bet these people are almost going crazy!"

Gao Zhicheng gloated.

"Fishing in this place is really not an easy task!"

Wu Weimin suddenly remembered the grouper that he and his men had just caught. They kept catching them one after another, but they just couldn't stand the thought that the fish were too small.

Are we guys really that good at fishing?
That's absolutely not the case!

Zhao Dahai found that this place was a deep pit. It wasn't that there were no reefs at all on the seabed, but there weren't many.

Even when you tap the bottom, you don't get much fish caught, and the key is that there are a lot of fish here.

Even those other people who have no fishing experience can catch fish as long as they come here, and they can catch a lot of fish just like me.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"Those speedboats are gone!"

"Hurry! Let's go fishing on the deck right now!"

Lin Zuhua watched the speedboat leave, disappearing from sight in just two or three minutes as the sea returned to calm. He glanced around and, seeing no other speedboats, immediately left the cockpit and headed towards the deck, still talking to himself. Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng followed closely behind without a word.

"What's going on with Mr. Wu and his group? Why are they fishing for smaller fish again?"

Zhao Shi was a little puzzled and didn't know what was going on.

"At first, Mr. Wu and his team wanted to catch big fish, but they couldn't catch any. No fish were biting, so they simply started catching small fish."

"It uses an electric winch, so it's not particularly time-consuming!"

"Mr. Wu and his friends had a very enjoyable fishing trip!"

Ding Dawen smiled and told Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming why Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua were now fishing for smaller fish and were having more and more fun.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming then realized what had happened.

"I wonder how the fish are doing in the sea now?"

As Zhao Shi spoke, he puffed on the water pipe he was carrying.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua went up to the deck to fish.

There's no need to rush. Let's wait and see if they can catch any fish. If they can, especially if the fish in the sea are biting very aggressively, then Shi Guangming and I will definitely go fishing.

After sleeping for so long during the day, I'm getting restless. My limbs are feeling a bit weak, and I can't just sit still without doing some work.

"It's only an hour apart, it shouldn't make a big difference!"

Shi Guangming hesitated for a moment.

Don't be fooled by your words that there won't be much difference. In reality, in the ocean, even a difference of half an hour, or sometimes just ten minutes, can drastically alter the way fish bite.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua were fishing very well, but suddenly several speedboats came and interrupted them. Now it's hard to say whether they can catch a lot of grouper like before when they start fishing again.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming, smoking their water pipes, stared wide-eyed at Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua on the deck. They waited until the poles in front of the three men bent down one after another before smiles appeared on their faces.

This was my first cast after restarting fishing, and a fish immediately took the bait, proving that the fish in the deep pit under the fishing boat were still there, and they were biting very aggressively.

"what!"

"Old Man Shi!"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up, we need to get to work. There are no other speedboats or fishermen around here, we need to make some money!"

As Zhao Shi spoke, he quickly stepped out of the driver's seat.

Shi Guangming smiled and immediately followed closely.

If there are no fish in the sea, there's nothing to say; Zhao Shi and I might as well just smoke our hookahs.

Now there are not only fish in the sea, but judging from the appearance, the fish are biting very fiercely.

Regardless of the reason, all these fish have come here.

The most important thing now is to catch all these fish; the more you catch, the more money you make.

The sky gradually darkened.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Da, and a few others woke up and went out of the cabin. The deck was brightly lit and very lively. Upon closer inspection, they saw that everyone was fishing, catching one fish after another.

"what?"

"How is this possible? How can there be so many fish in this deep pit?"

Zhong Shizhu was startled and couldn't believe his eyes. After looking closely, he realized that he was not mistaken; there really were fish, and many fish at that.

"Zhao Dahai".

"This can't be right, can it? How can there be so many fish here? Even if we didn't catch any during the day, it's impossible to catch this many at night, right?"

Lei Dayou walked quickly to Wu Weimin and the others, and carefully examined the several large white barrels, which were filled with grouper weighing about twenty or thirty pounds each.

impossible?
What do you mean by impossible? Right now, aren't there lots of fish being caught?
This is not just a possibility, it is a very real possibility.

What could be more convincing than catching so many fish?
However, this is really too strange and amazing. It's unbelievable that so many fish could be caught.

"Uncle Dayou!"

"There's really nothing to say about this; I have no idea what happened!"

Zhao Dahai gave a wry smile. He really didn't know what was going on. It would be understandable if there were many groupers in this place, but after so much time, there were still so many groupers, especially with such fierce bites. He had never encountered anything like it before.

Zhao Dahai walked over to Zhao Shi and asked him what was going on. He learned that they had been fishing for two or three hours, and that there were six of them fishing together, and everyone was doing very well.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Stone".

"Mr. Wu."

"Take a break, take a break. There's no need to push yourself so hard. There are just too many fish in this sea to catch them all!"

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly to Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming, Wu Weimin and the others to take a rest. There were indeed fish in the sea, and many fish, but there was really no need to work so hard, especially Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming, who needed to rest properly.

Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming, Wu Weimin, and the others all nodded and stopped.

When Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou saw that all the fishing rods and other equipment were empty, they immediately went over and started fishing again.

"Zhao Dahai".

"I don't think you need to. Go out fishing tonight or early morning."

"It seems a bit windy tonight, and there aren't any other speedboats fishing on the surrounding sea."

"Why don't we just fish right here?"

Zhao Shi wiped his face. He had been fishing for several hours. Although he was using an electric reel, he was still getting old. In addition, there was a bit of wind, and the seawater was splashing on the fishing boat and blowing on his body and face with the wind.

Zhao Dahai looked around carefully and found that there were no other speedboats with lights. After thinking for a moment, he nodded.

There's really no need to go fishing elsewhere in this situation; you can just fish right here on the fishing boat.

One advantage is that you can catch a lot of fish and earn a lot of money. Another advantage is safety. And yet another advantage is that you can take a good look at the grouper below and see what kind of fish you can catch.

Lately, I've been going out to sea to fish all night, and I do catch more fish than during the day. But I can't keep doing this; it will definitely have a negative impact on my health in the long run.

"Row!"

"Second Grandpa!"

"Let's not go out to sea tonight, we'll just fish on this big fishing boat."

"I estimate that later on, there will be more groupers in the sea, and their bites will become even more ferocious."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he pointed to the waves on the sea.

When the sea breeze blows, you can clearly see that some small white spots have already appeared.

If you're going out fishing at sea, especially in a small speedboat, you'll definitely have to go back in this kind of weather.

My speedboat is quite large, so I don't have to worry about such rough seas; I can go out to sea to fish.

If there weren't many fish on the fishing boat, it would only be able to go out to sea to fish. But since there are plenty of fish on the boat right now, there's no need to go further afield, especially risking the weather.
The current sea breeze and waves are fine, but no one can guarantee what changes the wind and waves will make in a while, especially around tomorrow morning.
