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

Chapter 1619 This could be a new fishing spot!
"Second Grandpa!"

"It's raining now. What are you doing here?"

When Zhao Dahai saw Zhao Shi walk up to him, he immediately called out.

If the weather is good, there's no problem; you can come up to the deck if you want. But right now, it's raining and the sea breeze is a bit cold.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Binlei, and I had to fish to make money, and there was no other way. We had been fishing all the time, especially fishing for sea bass that weighed 20 or 30 pounds. It was hard work, and our bodies were still warm, and we were even emitting steam.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming are wearing straw hats, so the rain definitely won't hit their faces, but their clothes will get wet no matter what, especially after a while.

"You're not that delicate!"

Zhao Shi shook his head.

I was just worried that Shi Guangming and I would catch a cold if we got wet in the rain, but there was really no need to do that.

Both men were seasoned fishermen or anglers, accustomed to the storms and hardships of the sea. Besides, they were wearing straw hats and thick clothes, so they could simply return to the cabin if they felt a bit chilly.

Zhao Dahai thought for a moment and nodded, then stopped talking about it. The rain wasn't too heavy, so there was no need to worry. He decided to wait a while and see if it was almost time before calling Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming back to the driver's seat.

"Zhao Dahai".

Are there a lot of sea bass in this slow-moving area?

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

"Correct!"

"I really don't know how to put it, but it's really great that our fishing boat is moored here."

"It's not just the deep pit at the bottom that has yielded so many groupers; the most important thing is that the weather isn't great right now. The strong winds and big waves have created a slow-moving area, and there are so many fish in this slow-moving area right now!"

As Zhao Dahai reeled in the line and pulled in the fish, he talked to Shi Guangming.

They discovered there were fish and groupers here, and kept fishing. They even stopped the boat here. But after fishing for all the groupers in the sea, they felt there probably wouldn't be any more fish. However, the weather was also quite bad, so they decided to stop here to rest.

What was even more unexpected was that such a slow current appeared, allowing them to catch so many sea bass again.

In just one hour, he, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, and I each caught fifteen fish, and some might even have caught twenty.

I really don't know how many sea bass there are, or how long I can fish for them.

Judging from the current situation, it's definitely not going to be much less.

Sea bass are quite large, and you can fish for half a day and catch several thousand kilograms of fish. This is no joke.

"Zhao Dahai".

"This deep pit on the seabed looks like a fish tide, or a school of fish that only appears once in a while. We really don't know when it will appear again."

"But why do I feel like this slow-moving area on the sea might follow a pattern? Maybe it will appear here again next time the weather is similar?"

Zhao Shi took two deep drags on his water pipe, and while speaking, pointed to the slow-flowing area next to the fishing boat where Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Da, and several others were fishing.

From today's perspective, it's unlikely that you could regularly catch so many fish in the deep pit at the bottom of the sea.

However, this slow-moving area on the sea surface does offer a real opportunity.

"Second Grandpa!"

"You are really amazing!"

Zhao Dahai, pulling a sea bass weighing a little over thirty pounds, reached the side of the large fishing boat. He waited for Ding Dawen to scoop up the fish with a landing net and let out the line before turning around and giving Zhao Shi a thumbs up.

That's absolutely right!

It seems there's really no chance, or even the slightest chance, of encountering such a large grouper on the seabed again.

However, if it's the slow-moving area on the surface of the water, or if it's these sea bass, there really is a chance.

"Really? Is it possible for slow-flowing zones like this to occur frequently?"

Gao Zhicheng, who had been standing nearby, immediately chimed in when he heard what Zhao Dahai and Zhao Shi were saying.

If such slow-flowing zones could appear regularly, that would be truly remarkable.

Zhao Dahai's speedboat is quite large. In this kind of weather, other people can't fish here for safety reasons, but Zhao Dahai has no problem with that.

Not to mention that this is a large fishing boat, which makes it even more suitable to anchor in places like artificial reefs in this kind of weather. If it stays in this position and waits for a slow current to appear, it can fish as much as it wants.

"Correct!"

"The grouper in the deep sea pit probably has little chance, but these sea bass on the surface of the sea really have a chance, and a very high chance."

Zhao Dahai took the pliers and removed the hook from the mouth of the sea bass. He checked the line and found no problems. He immediately cast it into the slow-moving area, gave it a couple of gentle shakes, and the rod bent sharply downwards. Another sea bass weighing over thirty pounds took the bait.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua were all dumbfounded, and it took them a while to slowly come back to their senses.

"Zhao Dahai".

"Is that really the case? Does that mean that in special weather conditions, like right now, you can catch far more sea bass here than in the island and reef foam area?"

Lin Zuhua really couldn't believe it, but judging from the current situation, it really was true.

"The sea bass here are all huge. If you could fish for a whole day and night like in the island reef foam area, wouldn't you be able to catch 20,000 kilograms of sea bass?"

As Gao Zhicheng spoke, he slapped his thigh forcefully.

There are plenty of sea bass in the island's foamy area, but most of them are only a few kilograms or more in size.

The sea bass here are huge, all weighing over 30 pounds. That's really impressive.

"Don't get excited! Don't get excited!"

"Please, please don't get excited!"

"This is just a guess. Whether it's really like this or not, we really can't be sure right now."

"We'll have to wait for similar weather again, like the same wind, or rain, or something else, before we come back here to see if the waterline, backflow zone, or slow flow zone will appear exactly the same on the water surface."

"If it happens, there really is such an opportunity." "If you can catch a fish, that would be really great."

Zhao Dahai reminded him that this is just a guess right now. Whether a waterline can really form in this place, especially under similar weather conditions, and whether such a backflow area that can gather a large number of sea bass or other fish can be formed, will only be possible after encountering it a few more times.

"As long as the weather is similar, as long as there isn't a very strong wind or a very heavy rain, and as long as we don't go back, we definitely have to come back to this place to take a look."

Zhao Dahai made up his mind.

This place really does produce large schools of fish even in windy and rainy weather.

That's really incredible.

Judging from the current situation, there are far too many fish that can be caught in this place.

With our speedboat being quite large, and with the large fishing boats around, we don't need to go back to seek shelter in this level of wind and waves.

We have to come here to see if we can really see this backflow area again, especially to catch so many big sea bass.

Other speedboats that fish on artificial islands are generally smaller, and even the larger ones have to go back in this kind of weather.

If I have a large fishing boat guarding this place, once my guess is proven correct, only I will know the location from now on.

"Zhao Dahai".

"I feel like the odds are very high."

Lin Zuhua really felt that the chances were very high.

"This is not the same as the appearance of so many pebbles in the deep pit. Judging from the current situation, there is a very high probability that this backflow zone will appear here under similar weather conditions."

Zhao Dahai thought for a moment and nodded.

"Why? Why are these different from the rock formations in the deep pits at the bottom of the sea?"

Gao Zhicheng found it a bit strange. His thoughts were actually the same as Lin Zuhua's. He felt that it was very likely that such backflow zones would appear repeatedly under similar weather conditions. However, he didn't know why, especially why Zhao Dahai thought that such backflow zones were more likely to appear, while the formation of grouper in the deep pits on the seabed was very difficult or even impossible to occur again.

"This deep pit under the fishing boat."

"Whether from another perspective or not, it is not suitable for such a large school of fish to appear."

"In this respect, the appearance of such a large school of fish here is highly accidental."

"Another issue is the structure or condition of the seabed, which we don't really know much about."

"It's hard to predict exactly what will happen."

"But this slow-flowing area is right above the water surface, and we know very well that this area doesn't usually have this slow-flowing area or this waterline."

"It only appeared because of this kind of wind and rain."

"This shows that it is very likely that this slow-flowing area is related to wind and rain."

"You can see the state of the water very clearly with your eyes and know what's going on."

"It's very easy to tell."

"The sea surface doesn't have much other structure right now. If this happens, it's almost 100% certain that it will happen again under the exact same weather conditions. The probability of that is extremely high."

As Zhao Dahai spoke, he pulled the fish forcefully to the side of the large fishing boat.

Ding Dawen had been waiting for a while, and immediately stretched out his net to scoop up the fish.

The sea bass, being so large, struggled fiercely, making it virtually impossible for it to pull the line onto the deck of the large fishing boat.

After Zhao Dahai used pliers to remove the hook, Ding Dawen immediately called for people to quickly put it into the live water tank to keep it alive.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua were all experienced anglers, and they immediately understood what was going on after Zhao Dahai explained it.

This statement is absolutely correct. It's hard to say for sure if it were underwater, but it's almost 100% certain that this is the case when it happens on the surface of the sea. Under similar weather conditions, there will be flowing water and slow-moving areas.

"Isn't this a fishing spot that only you, Zhao Dahai, know about?"

"If we can catch so many big fish here in this kind of weather all the time."

"The next time the weather is bad, but I don't need to go back to take shelter from the wind and rain, I'll definitely come here."

Lin Zuhua's eyes lit up; there was no other place like this that other people who went out to sea to fish knew about.

If someone actually knew about this place, even in weather like this, there would be plenty of people fishing here, let alone in a downpour of knives.
They were all sea bass weighing over 30 pounds.

If other people really knew, even if it's raining like this and the wind is like this, and a small speedboat can't come, there would definitely be a big speedboat, or even a big fishing boat like Ding Dawen's right now, coming to this place to fish.

When you encounter a school of fish, there are easily over a hundred large sea bass, all weighing over thirty pounds.

"correct!"

"We know there are fish here, and so many fish, why don't we just set up fishing nets?"

Wu Weimin suddenly had an idea.

If there are schools of fish here, and they're all big ones, then you could really catch them with a fishing net.

"what!"

"Wu Weimin!"

"If this method were truly effective, how could Zhao Dahai not have thought of it?"

Lin Zuhua burst out laughing.

My idea was exactly the same as Wu Weimin's; we just thought that at this time, we should just set out fishing nets to catch fish.

However, neither he nor Wu Weimin, nor Gao Zhicheng, could possibly compare to Zhao Dahai in fishing, not to mention that there were two more experienced people on the fishing boat, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming.

As long as it's still possible to fish here, it's likely that people will continue to fish here. Otherwise, there's definitely no need to do it this way. Doing it this way only brings harm, and at least the harm outweighs the benefits, by a significant margin.
