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

Chapter 1605 This time they really fished out the fish!

"As long as there are fish in the sea, we'll keep fishing and see how long we can fish this time, and how many fish we can catch!"

Liu Bin wiped his face, which was covered in a mixture of seawater and sweat.

If you're fishing from a speedboat, even if there are fish in the sea, they might have already returned to the fishing boat to eat and sleep by now.

If you're fishing in a large fishing ground, this isn't a problem; you have to keep fishing until there are no more fish in the sea.

"Zhao Dahai".

How are the fish biting in the sea right now?

Gao Zhicheng walked over to Zhao Dahai and, while talking, stuck his head out to look at the sea.

"No problem!"

"The number of fish really hasn't decreased at all!"

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he couldn't help but find it a little funny himself.

After fishing for so long, although the groupers in the deep pit aren't particularly large, their bites are still very fierce. This shows that the number of fish in the deep pit hasn't decreased at all.

This is truly a very magical thing. Even I can't figure out how it happened. I really don't know why so many fish have come to this deep pit.

"I'm increasingly convinced that the fish in this deep pit only appear occasionally, and there's absolutely no pattern to it."

"If there's a real pattern, that's incredible. It's definitely because some grouper from other places around here was influenced by some factor and came here."

Zhao Dahai now truly believes that all these rocky pebbles in the deep pit came here due to some special factor, and it's impossible that they would gather in such large numbers here every now and then.

As Gao Zhicheng prepared to fish, he nodded in agreement. Zhao Dahai's statement was becoming increasingly confirmed and convincing.

"Damn it!"

"It bit me!"

……

"coming!"

……

"Fifty or sixty pounds!"

……

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua caught fish as soon as they cast their lines. Zhao Dahai was right; the fish in the sea were indeed very aggressive.

"what!"

"Fishing like this is so much fun!"

Wu Weimin caught three fish in one go, wiped the sweat from his forehead—not from exhaustion, but from excitement.

I'm so tired from fishing, I'll go back and take a nap. I'm so hungry from fishing that I'll eat something to fill my stomach. Now I'll start fishing again, and the key is that I actually catch some fish.

Lin Zuhua and Zhao Zhicheng both nodded; fishing like this was truly enjoyable.

Five p.m.

The sky was overcast, just like nighttime.

The light rain kept falling, and the entire deck was brightly lit and wet everywhere.

Ding Dawen shouted loudly for people to get to work, and all the rock shards in the large buckets on his feet had to be sent back to the live water tank.

Ding Dawen slapped his face hard. Zhao Dahai and the others hadn't slept since last night, only stopping to eat when they were hungry, and he was the same way.

I caught a lot of fish, but it was really tiring.

Ding Dawen couldn't help but glance at Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou, who seemed completely oblivious and continued fishing.

Aren't you tired?

How could I not be tired? Not just tired, but really, really tired.

They're all just gritting their teeth and holding on!

Ding Dawen walked to his fishing rod and continued fishing.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming sat under the shade of the canopy at the stern of the fishing boat, holding water pipes in their hands and taking a puff every now and then.

"Ugh!"

"Zhao Dahai, along with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou, did catch a lot of fish and make a lot of money, but their physical strength is something that ordinary people can't have."

"They've been fishing for over 24 hours straight, and they'll keep going like this. As long as there are fish in the sea, it looks like they won't stop for three days and three nights."

Shi Guangming was deeply moved.

Zhao Dahai and his ilk have indeed made a lot of money, but don't think that making money is very easy for them.

Zhao Dahai does indeed know how to find fish and where they are, but he needs to have enough stamina to fish for such a long time in order to catch so many fish.

The others were already exhausted.

"Correct!"

"The money they make is really a lot, but it's not easy to make that kind of money."

Zhao Shi sighed softly.

Shi Guangming's words were absolutely correct.

Zhao Dahai and his team did catch a lot of fish, but to catch so many fish, it's not just about finding the right places and using various techniques to catch them. One very important thing is that you have to have enough physical strength. Without enough physical strength, you simply can't do this job.

"The number of fish in the sea has clearly started to change!"

"I estimate that I'll be done fishing in another hour or two!"

"Is the food ready in the kitchen yet?"

Shi Guangming pointed to Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou, who were fishing.

During the day, Zhao Shi and I fished for several hours. After taking a nap, we fished for a while longer, but as it was getting dark, Zhao Dahai no longer allowed us to fish alone. We could only watch from the sidelines.

"All the fish and meat dishes are already cooked!"

"After Zhao Dahai and the others finish fishing, they can take a shower and then eat!"

Zhao Shi nodded. He had just gone to the kitchen and specifically instructed them to make some delicious food and drinks, and most importantly, to make sure there was enough meat. If there wasn't enough, it wouldn't do.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou have been fishing for so long that they have exhausted a lot of energy, so they must have enough meat.

"Large chunks of pork belly!"

"If you kill the chicken, you still have the ducks!"

"Fish, shrimp, and crabs are definitely indispensable!"

Zhao Shi knew very well what fishermen and other workers at sea needed. This meal was extremely important; they had to eat well, otherwise they wouldn't have the strength.

On a small scale, poor physical recovery can really affect the next fishing trip. On a larger scale, poor nutrition over the years will definitely have a significant impact on your health. 1 AM.

The rain was getting heavier, the wind was getting stronger, and the waves were getting bigger.

When it hits the fishing boat, it splashes onto the deck.

Zhao Dahai wiped the seawater off his face, glanced at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou, then looked at the fishing rod in front of him. It had been about ten minutes, and no fish had taken the bait.

"Uncle Shizhu!"

"We've caught enough fish in the sea, let's stop fishing!"

Zhao Dahai roared.

They've been fishing for so long, and they've caught so many fish. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou are all in great shape, but they look very tired now.

If there were plenty of fish in the sea, there would be nothing to say; you would definitely continue fishing. But right now, it's not that there aren't any fish in the sea, but there really aren't many.

Zhao Dahai felt there was no need to continue fishing here, so he simply packed up his line, had a good meal, and got a good night's sleep.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou all nodded.

There are really not many fish left in the sea now, so there's really no point in continuing to fish.

"Hurry up! You guys go take a shower right away, then it'll be time for dinner and stuff!"

Zhao Dahai urged Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou to quickly pack up their fishing rods, tidy up, and go take a shower.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"Are you still planning to go fishing? There's no need for that anymore."

Zhong Shizhu is very strange.

Zhao Dahai was calling out to himself, Lei Dayou, and Liu Bin to go take a shower and have a meal, but judging from his expression, he still had to continue fishing.

"There are no small fish left. I'll try to catch some big ones, but I don't think I have much of a chance with bottom-feeding fish. I'll try jigging to see if I can catch a bigger one."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he put away his fishing rod.

The small fish are gone, but there must be big fish in the deep pit.

You might not be able to catch it, but you should have a chance.

When Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Da heard that Zhao Dahai wanted to use a jigging machine to fish for large groupers on the seabed, they knew that this really wasn't something they could do alone.

This really requires a skill; if we don't have that ability, there's no need for us to get involved.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou packed their things and strode over to sit down under the shade of the pavilion.

The fish soup was already piping hot, so I lifted the lid, filled a bowl, and drank it.

"What's wrong with Zhao Dahai? Does he still want to continue fishing?"

Wu Weimin pointed somewhat strangely at Zhao Dahai, who hadn't returned from the deck.

Between 8 and 9 p.m., Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua, and I were too exhausted to continue fishing, so we simply sat down to rest.

There weren't many fish left in the sea. Originally, Zhao Dahai thought he should stop fishing, as Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou had all stopped. But seeing this, Zhao Dahai still wanted to continue fishing.

Lei Dayou told Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua that Zhao Dahai wanted to try fishing with a metal plate to see if he could catch a large grouper from the seabed.

"Didn't you want to catch big fish? Want to give it a try?"

Zhong Shizhu pointed to Zhao Dahai, who had already picked up the iron plate pole.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua were stunned for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared in their eyes.

Right now, it's really possible to catch a big grouper.

"Are any of you still up for the task?"

Wu Weimin glanced at Gao Zhicheng and Lin Zuhua.

Right now, it's really possible to catch a big grouper, but the problem is that jigging is very physically demanding.

The wind and waves are quite high now, making the deck even more slippery and causing the fishing boat to rock more. Pulling out the iron plates requires even more strength and stamina.

Gao Zhicheng swung his right hand forcefully and then clenched his fist. It wasn't that he had no strength at all, but he really didn't have much strength.

Why did Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua, and I rest instead of fishing several hours earlier?

The most important thing is that I don't have much physical strength.

"I can barely manage to pull the iron plate, but what's the use of that? Once a big fish bites, it's impossible to pull it up. I reckon the rod will just fly out of my hand."

Gao Zhicheng gave a wry smile. This was no joke. He still had some strength, but to say that he had a lot of strength, especially the ability to lift a grouper weighing over 100 kilograms, was truly a joke.

"Don't say that a grouper weighing over 100 pounds is considered a grouper weighing 30 pounds. If you're using a jig, if you have to pull it up with both hands, you can't catch it anymore, let alone anything else!"

Lin Zuhua shook his head without hesitation.

Most people don't know how much strength it takes to catch a 30-pound grouper with a hand-cranked spinning reel or rod.

If I, Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, and I still had the physical strength, we shouldn't have any major problems, but right now we really can't.

"How about we try tapping the bottom to see if we can catch anything?"

Wu Weimin came up with an idea.

Lin Zuhua and Gao Zhicheng thought for a moment and then nodded. If Zhao Dahai was currently using a jig to fish for large groupers on the seabed, it meant that he would hardly catch any using the bottom-feeding method. But since he had nothing else to do, he was a little unwilling to give up and decided to give it a try to see if he could catch anything.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua immediately stood up and walked towards Zhao Dahai despite the light rain.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou chuckled. Wu Weimin and the others were just a little unwilling to give up; they were determined to catch a big fish.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou finished a bowl of piping hot fish soup, sat for a while to rest, and then immediately went back to their cabin to take a shower.

"Old Zhao."

Do you think Wu Weimin and his gang can catch big groupers?

Shi Guangming pointed to Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua, who had already walked up to Zhao Dahai.

"There is definitely a chance, but I think the chance is really not that great. It might be another wasted effort, and I definitely won't catch anything!"

Without a second thought, Zhao Shi immediately shook his head.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua have always wanted to catch a grouper weighing over 100 jin (50 kg), and they have tried many times. They are still thinking about doing it now.

But I really don't think it's a good idea, I really don't think Wu Weimin and his team can catch them.

"If Zhao Dahai really thought that bottom fishing for grouper was feasible, he would have already asked Wu Weimin and the others to fish for it. He wouldn't have just been jigging on his own."

"Wu Weimin and the others weren't unaware of this matter; they just genuinely wanted to try and see if they could catch anything."

Zhao Shi took a deep drag on the water pipe in his hand. It was practically impossible for Wu Weimin and his team to catch a grouper weighing over 100 jin.
