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

Chapter 1616 I almost missed the opportunity!
Why do we always have to have these kinds of headaches?

"The other boat captains don't need to worry about such things. They just take us fishing for whatever fish they want."

"Or perhaps it's good enough to catch any fish at all; there's no need to be so particular."

"Right now, on Zhao Dahai's speedboat, we're still figuring out whether to fish for sea bass that weigh 20 or 30 pounds, or maybe threadfin bream."

Wu Weimin felt somewhat troubled.

When other people go out to sea to fish in their speedboats, they really just catch whatever fish are available.

Being able to catch any fish is already a great achievement; it's impossible for people like us to be so picky and picky, ultimately leading to great distress as we don't know what kind of fish to catch.

"Correct!"

"That's really how it is!"

Gao Zhicheng thought about it and realized that Wu Weimin was absolutely right. If you go out to sea with someone else's speedboat, there's really nothing to say. You can catch whatever fish you can, regardless of size or whether you want to fish for them.

"what!"

"Why do we always end up exhausted every time we go fishing with Zhao Dahai's speedboat?"

"It's not that there aren't any fish in the sea, it's just that there are so many fish that you don't want to fish anymore."

"Putting everything else aside, even if you're fishing for these giant groupers weighing over 100 pounds right here on a big fishing boat, isn't it the same?"

"We've fished so much, we're so tired, we just can't fish anymore, so we had no choice but to stop."

"On other people's fishing boats or speedboats, it's already good if they can catch one fish a day, and they might not catch one for several days. How can they be picky?"

As Lin Zuhua spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.

A large grouper weighing over 100 pounds, or even over 120 pounds, is a fish that any angler dreams of.

But last night, we fished so much that we really didn't want to fish anymore. This kind of thing would never happen to other people, or to other speedboats or fishing boats.

"I wonder if the weather will improve tomorrow."

"We don't need to. Let's decide on this now."

"We'll decide what to do once Zhao Dahai really decides to go fishing at sea."

Wu Weimin pondered for a long time but couldn't make up his mind. He decided to stop thinking about it now and wait until Zhao Dahai actually went out to sea to fish, then decide whether to go to the island and reef foam area, the artificial island and reef, or some other place.

Gao Zhicheng and Lin Zuhua both nodded after thinking about it. There was really no need to make a decision now; they would wait until Zhao Dahai decided to go fishing at sea.

3pm.

Zhao Dahai woke up, stretched, and walked into the driver's seat. He looked at the deck of the fishing boat through the glass window; it was raining quite heavily.

Zhao Dahai greeted Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua.

"What about me and my grandpa? Are we sleeping in the cabin?"

As Zhao Dahai asked, he took out his own water cup, poured in boiling water, then grabbed a handful of tea leaves and tossed them in. After a while, he took a sip.

"Correct!"

"At first, they were talking to us here, but as the rain got heavier and heavier, and there was nothing else to do, they simply went to sleep."

As Wu Weimin spoke, he glanced up at the clock hanging on the wall and told Zhao Dahai that Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming had gone back to sleep two hours ago and should be waking up soon.

No sooner had Wu Weimin finished speaking than Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming walked into the driver's seat.

"Second Grandpa, Grandpa Shi! We were just talking about you! Why didn't you sleep a little longer? There's nothing to do in this weather."

Zhao Dahai immediately greeted him.

"I don't have anything to do, so two hours of sleep is already a long time. If I sleep any longer, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Zhao Shi shook his head, walked up to Zhao Dahai, and while talking, casually lit the water pipe he was carrying.

"The two of us don't have to do any work on the fishing boat. We just walk around all day and don't get to sleep for very long."

Like Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming lit the water pipe he was carrying and took two puffs.

Zhao Dahai thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

As people get older, they naturally sleep less, and besides, Grandpa Er and Shi Guangming don't really need to do any work on the fishing boat for the time being.

Sleeping all day is also unbearable.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"In this kind of weather, it's definitely impossible to go fishing at sea, right?"

As Gao Zhicheng spoke, he pointed to the sea outside the cockpit. The sky was overcast, and although the wind was light, it was still windy.

People who go out to sea aren't afraid of rain, but they are most afraid of wind. The wind isn't very strong right now, but the waves are quite big. With such heavy rain, it's not a good time to go out to sea for fishing or angling.

Zhao Dahai shook his head.

In this kind of weather, there's really no need to go out fishing.

I can catch a lot of fish and make a lot of money by going out to sea to fish every day. If I don't go out to sea for a day, I will lose a lot of money, but it is really not necessary to do such a thing.

When going to sea, the most important thing is safety. Everything else is unimportant, not to mention that you've already made a lot of money.

If the weather is right, then we should definitely seize the opportunity to go out to sea, fish more, and make more money. It's not that fishing is absolutely impossible in this kind of weather, but there's really no need to take such a risk.

Zhao Dahai stood in front of the glass window of the driver's cab and carefully looked at the sea.

"what?"

"Boss Wu!"

"Such a good opportunity, why don't you give it a try?"

Zhao Dahai looked a little strange and turned to look at Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua.

"What opportunity? What to try?"

Gao Zhicheng found it a bit strange, so he immediately stood up and walked to Zhao Dahai's side. He really couldn't understand what Zhao Dahai was saying and didn't know what was going on.

"Isn't there a very obvious current of water to the east of the bow of the fishing boat?"

When did it appear?

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he pointed in a direction slightly east of the bow of the ship.

Gao Zhicheng took a look and told Zhao Dahai that the waterline had appeared about three hours ago. "It might have been due to rain or wind or something, anyway, this waterline wasn't there at first."

"It just appeared two or three hours ago!"

Gao Zhicheng had already seen the waterline, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It's really strange that Zhao Dahai is talking about it now.

Is there a problem with this waterline?

When Lin Zuhua heard Zhao Dahai mention this, his eyes lit up. He felt there must be some problem, which might be related to fishing, so he quickly walked over.

Zhao Dahai smiled but didn't speak immediately. He just looked at Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua, all of whom were very experienced fishermen. They hadn't noticed what was going on, but now that he had reminded them, they should be able to figure out what was happening.

"Damn it!"

"Are we all really that stupid? How could we not see something so simple? We've wasted several hours of our time, and it's very likely that we've wasted precious time."

Gao Zhicheng stared at the waterline for a while, then suddenly slapped the back of his head hard.

Two or even three hours ago, this waterline had already appeared. He, Wu Weimin, and Gao Zhicheng had been in the driver's seat and had seen it long ago, but they had always thought it was just a simple thing and had no idea what the waterline was for.

Only after Zhao Dahai reminded him did he realize that he had really forgotten about this matter, and that it was a very important one.

"fishing!"

"How come none of us could have thought of such a great fishing opportunity?"

Wu Weimin slapped his thigh in frustration.

In the ocean, especially on a wide expanse of sea, the appearance of such a waterline often indicates that the seawater has undergone a significant change in its flow at that location.

Schools of fish, especially large ones, are very likely to appear around such a waterline. At least one or two, or even several, super-large fish may appear.

"Correct!"

"These water lines only form when it's windy and rainy; they're definitely useless under normal circumstances."

"If you want to go fishing, especially if you want to catch big fish, you absolutely can't miss this great opportunity."

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded. Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin realized what was going on.

Fishing can seem very complicated, but it can also be very simple: you have to keep your eyes peeled for your surroundings. Even the slightest change can attract a school of fish, let alone the fact that a line of water has appeared on the entire sea surface.

This waterline is so long that you can't see where it ends when you stand on the fishing boat.

"Hurry up! What are you still standing here for?"

As Lin Zuhua spoke, he turned and walked out. He had already missed such a good opportunity for two hours, and he absolutely could not miss it again. He had to hurry up and see if he could catch a big fish.

"What's the rush!"

"Two or three hours have already been wasted! There's no point in worrying about this now."

Gao Zhicheng immediately stopped Lin Zuhua. At this time, they definitely needed to go fishing, but they weren't going out to fish right away.

The waterline is indeed in front of you, and there are likely to be fish of all sizes on or to the left and right of this waterline, but it's really hard to say how to fish for it.

"This is definitely a great opportunity to fish, but the key is that we need to find a good method, otherwise we can forget about catching any fish."

"Do you know how to fish here?"

When Wu Weimin saw that Lin Zonghua immediately wanted to go out and go fishing, he immediately laughed.

Lin Zuhua paused, startled.

There are definitely fish, and there's a good chance there are big ones, but how to catch them is a real question, and I honestly don't know the answer.

"Zhao Dahai".

"How did it fall off like that?"

Lin Zuhua wasted no time. He didn't even bother to think about it himself. Zhao Dahai was right there, so he had to ask Zhao Dahai.

Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin both laughed. This was indeed a solution, and a very simple and direct one at that. It was so useful that there was no need to think too much about it; they could just ask Zhao Dahai directly.

"There are two methods. One is definitely to use a popper to see if we can catch fish near our fishing boat."

“I think there is a chance, because there is a backflow about 30 to 50 meters away from our fishing boat. There are often a lot of fish in such places.”

"Other fish may not be so certain, but there is one type of fish that is very likely to appear: sea bass, and it might even be some of the larger ones."

"Another method is to release them."

"The appearance of the waterline is precisely because there is a line of seawater flow on the sea surface."

“We can release the fish from the fishing boat, and we can release them for a distance of about 150 to 200 meters.”

"We may not be able to catch big fish, but as long as a fish bites, it will definitely weigh over 100 pounds. Maybe we can catch a very big mackerel or a very big Spanish mackerel here."

Zhao Dahai didn't beat around the bush and just said it directly.

In this kind of current, fishing is not ideal, especially now that the weather isn't great or convenient enough for speedboat fishing. However, both methods are very effective for fishing from a large fishing boat. And both methods offer a good chance of catching a sufficient number of fish.

"What do you guys think? How are we going to fish here?"

Lin Zuhua immediately glanced at Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng.

"Is there even a need to say anything about this? Of course, we have to try both and see which one can catch fish."

Without a second thought, Wu Weimin immediately decided that he had to try both methods no matter what, and see which one would catch fish.

"Correct!"

"There's no need to choose! We definitely have to use both of them."

"We can release the fish a little further, about 200 meters away, so it won't affect the slow-moving area next to our fishing boat."

Gao Zhicheng strongly agreed with Wu Weimin's idea that both fishing methods should be used to see which one could catch larger fish.

"go!"

"hurry up!"

As Lin Zuhua spoke, he immediately turned and walked out.

Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin followed closely behind without saying a word. They definitely had to start fishing immediately and seize this opportunity. Once the line disappeared, they would miss the chance and might miss out on a few big fish.
