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

Chapter 1642 Back to the Dock!
noon.

Zhao Dahai wiped the seawater off his face, looked up at the sky, and saw that there was no sun. The sea breeze was even a little chilly.

"Not bad!"

"The weather is really great!"

"I estimate this wave of sea bass will take several more hours!"

Zhao Dahai was very happy.

Sea bass are very dependent on tides and currents. As long as there are tides and currents, and they are suitable, there will definitely be fish, and there will be big fish.

Without tides and flowing water, there are no fish.

I've been fishing in the island and reef foam area for quite a while now, and it looks like there are no problems. I estimate I can fish for a few more hours.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"Every time I go fishing with you at sea, I'm exhausted!"

Wu Weimin squatted on the deck, panting heavily.

The sea bass we caught this time weren't particularly big, all weighing around ten or twenty pounds. Lin Zuhua, Gao Zhicheng, and I were able to catch them. And these fish weren't particularly strong. Before we knew it, we had caught a lot. Now we feel very tired, and our hands are very sore, but it's too late.

Wu Weimin knew very well that he would definitely not be able to lift his hands tomorrow.

"what!"

"Who can argue with that? We can't catch many large sea bass, say, those weighing thirty or forty pounds."

"It won't be long before we realize that we can't fish here, or even if we wanted to, we couldn't."

"You forget about these sea bass that weigh ten or twenty pounds as you fish."

"I definitely won't be able to lift my hands tomorrow."

Lin Zuhua gave a wry smile.

Wu Weimin was right; this size of sea bass was perfect for them. However, it was easy to forget they were fishing, and before they knew it, they had caught a lot of fish, and the fishing time was very long.

By the time they realized they had caught too many fish and expended too much effort, it was already a bit late.

"Fishing for fish like this is so much fun!"

"I really forgot I was fishing. I caught so many fish without even realizing it. I'm so tired."

Gao Zhicheng shook his hands forcefully several times.

My situation is slightly better than Wu Weimin's and Lin Zuhua's, but I am still very tired.

My hands are very likely to feel sore and painful tomorrow.

"Boss Wu!"

"Isn't this just what's going on?"

"If your hands are too sore to fish, you should go back and rest for a bit, or something like that!"

As Zhong Shizhu spoke, he gripped the pole with both hands, launched a sea bass weighing about twenty pounds, gently placed it on the deck, wrapped the fish in a towel, removed the hook, and pushed it into the live water tank.

Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua originally planned to go back, but then they felt that there might be a big catch, so they stayed.

I came here to fish today, but it seems unlikely I'll catch any big fish. I'll just be doing manual labor, fishing for people like us and making money for us.

"Zhong Shizhu".

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

"Ding Dawen's fishing boat has already gone back by now, and may even be halfway there, or even close to the fish raft."

"Does that mean we can grow wings and fly back?"

Wu Weimin smiled and shook his head.

If my hands were already exhausted before this trip to sea, then I would definitely have to go back.

But now that Ding Dawen's fishing boat has gone back, even if I want to go back, I have to wait for Ding Dawen's fishing boat to make its next trip before I can go back.

It could be three or five days, or even seven or eight days, it's hard to say.

Zhong Shizhu is not unaware of this situation; his current statement is simply a deliberate attempt to be sarcastic.

"We definitely can't adjust it now! We're just too tired!"

"I can't even lift my hands anymore!"

Wu Weimin shook his head.

Now, among himself, Lin Zuhua, and Gao Zhicheng, only Gao Zhicheng is still doing slightly better; he and Lin Zuhua really can't fish anymore.

"what!"

"Mr. Wu."

"If you keep acting like this, and a big fish really does appear later, you'll really be left with nothing but to watch helplessly."

As Lei Dayou spoke, he suddenly pulled up with both hands, and another sea bass weighing about 20 pounds was hooked.

"No way? Will there be more big fish appearing later?"

Wu Weimin was a little anxious and immediately turned to look at Zhao Dahai.

Lin Zuhua, Gao Zhicheng, and I are all exhausted. If a really big fish comes along, we really won't be able to catch it anymore.

We're on a speedboat now, without the electric winches or anything like those on big fishing boats; we're relying on hand poles.

It's fine when I have the energy, but now I really don't have much energy left.

"It's too early to say anything about this!"

"There are definitely sea bass, and you can catch them, but as for other big fish, we can only hope we're lucky today."

"There is a chance that the threadfin bream will appear, but no one knows exactly how big that chance is."

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded, but then immediately shook his head.

There are fish in the sea now, but judging from the current situation, it's only sea bass; no other fish have been seen.

The island and reef foam area is a major fishing spot for sea bass. You can also catch threadfin bream. Other fish are available, but not in large quantities. Most people who come here to fish are mainly catching sea bass.

Will there be any large threadfin bream?

Or perhaps an even larger sea bass?

Or perhaps some other big fish will appear?

It's not that there's absolutely no chance, but how likely that chance is is really hard to say.

As long as there are fish here, and you can find them yourself, you'll know how to fish and how to catch them.

If the big fish doesn't appear here, there's nothing I can do. I can't exactly go somewhere else to catch the big fish and bring it here.

"Zhao Dahai".

When did you go fishing at the artificial reef?

Wu Weimin breathed a sigh of relief.

Now we're really worried about a large school of fish coming, because then Lin Zuhua, Gao Zhicheng, and I really won't have much strength left.

At best, you might be able to catch one fish, or even none at all.

When Lei Dayou said there might be big fish, I was very worried, but now that Zhao Dahai said there might not be, I immediately felt relieved. "The weather hasn't been very good these past two or three days, and not many people have come to fish in the island and reef foam area."

"After we finish fishing here today, a lot of speedboats will soon come here to fish. By tomorrow, needless to say, the entire island and reef foam area will probably be full of speedboats fishing."

There's no need to join the fun here tomorrow.

Zhao Dahai shook his head.

The weather hasn't been very good these past few days, so not many other people have gone out to sea to fish.

Today is the first day the weather has improved and fishing is possible, so I definitely need to make the most of this time to come here and fish.

But starting tomorrow, people who have been holding back for several days will suddenly all flock here.

There will be a lot of speedboats and people.

"Tomorrow in the island and reef foam area, the tides and currents are all fine, there should be fish."

"After holding back for so long, there will definitely be a lot of people crowding here to fish."

"There will definitely be more speedboats and anglers than usual, and there will likely be a lot more."

"We don't need to join in this kind of fun."

Zhao Dahai knew very well that the tides and currents in the island's foam area would be quite good tomorrow, and there should be fish, and quite a lot of them. However, there would definitely be a lot of people fishing there tomorrow. As for him, he could go to other places and catch fish just as well, and even catch a lot of fish.

There is absolutely no need to do such a thing.

"Tomorrow we should go to the artificial reef to see what the big groupers there are like and see if we can catch them."

Zhao Dahai really had such a plan.

I've been fishing around here for the past few months, mainly targeting the artificial reef foam area for sea bass and large grouper.

Is it from somewhere else?

It's not that you can't catch fish in other places, but you can still catch fish, especially a lot of fish, in these two places.

There is absolutely no need to go anywhere else.

He, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou were fishing to make money, not to catch any big fish or fish they had never caught before.

You'll always be fishing in the same kind of place where you can consistently catch fish.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, Lin Zuhua, Gao Zhicheng, and Wu Weimin talked and fished at the same time.

Shijiao Village Wharf.

Fish fillet.

Ding Dawen is directing people to unload fish from the fishing boat.

"Zhao Dahai and his team caught quite a few fish this time!"

"There are more and more fish here at the fish farm!"

Ding Xiaoxiang was very happy to see the sea bass and grouper being unloaded from the fishing boat.

Recently, Zhao Dahai has been going out to sea to fish quite often.

Even after the fishing moratorium ends, nothing much changes; other fishing boats going out to sea have almost no impact on Zhao Dahai.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai is such a skilled fisherman, how could he possibly have any impact?"

"You can catch fish anytime!"

Shi Guangming smiled.

At first, everyone thought that the end of the fishing moratorium and the increase in fishing boats in the sea would have a certain impact on Zhao Dahai's fishing, but now that so much time has passed, it seems that there has really been no impact.

“Before we came back, Zhao Dahai said he was going to fish for sea bass in the island and reef foam area.”

"When Ding Dawen's big fishing boat goes out to sea and meets Zhao Dahai, I estimate that there will be at least several thousand kilograms of sea bass."

"The weather hasn't been good for the past few days, and other speedboats haven't been going out to sea in the DYD Reef foam area. I really don't know how many sea bass have accumulated there."

Shi Guangming was not joking.

Sea bass are frequently found in the island and reef foam area, and it's a place where you can often catch quite a lot of them.

However, no matter what, if there are too many people fishing, it will definitely affect the number of fish in the sea.

Or, if there are only so many fish in the sea each day, then fishing with few people and fishing with many people are completely different things.

While Zhao Dahai was fishing in the island and reef foam area with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou, it was practically impossible to find any other speedboats fishing in the island and reef foam area.

It could be said that almost all the fish in the entire island and reef foam area were waiting for Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou.

Given that Zhao Dahai is a fishing expert, he's sure to catch several thousand kilograms of sea bass this time.

Another day of making money, and big money at that.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Stone".

"You'll be resting here on the fish raft for a while, right?"

"I've been on Brother Da Wen's fishing boat for a while now, so it's time to come back and rest."

Upon hearing this, Ding Xiaoxiang realized that Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were planning not to go out to sea with Lord Ding's fishing boat next time.

Ding Xiaoxiang knew that Zhao Xue and Shui Guangming both wanted to go to sea and stay on fishing boats, as it was a lifelong habit. However, no matter what, they were getting older and couldn't stay at sea all the time. They would definitely have to return to land every now and then.

If you want to make money, there's no other way but to do it well. But right now, there's really no need for Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming to do things like this.

If you want to go out to sea, you can take Ding Dawen's fishing boat or go out to sea with Zhao Dahai's speedboat.

But no matter what, they definitely need to go back to the fish raft or back to land to rest every now and then.

"Correct!"

"Ding Dawen, on the next voyage, Old Man Shi and I won't be going with you. But we won't be doing nothing; we'll be buying a fishing boat."

Zhao Shi smiled and nodded. It wasn't that he and Shi Guangming didn't want to go out to sea, but that they weren't following Ding Dawen's fishing boat.

If there's anything to do, I'll definitely have to go out to sea with Ding Dawen's fishing boat.

Staying on a ship is much more comfortable than staying on land.

"Buy a fishing boat?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was taken aback. She had never heard of this before. This must be what Zhao Shi, Shi Guangming, and Zhao Dahai had discussed on this trip to sea. She just really didn't know what they needed to do with a fishing boat.

Zhao Shi smiled and mentioned that he, Zhao Dahai, and Shi Guangming had discussed buying a trawler.

"Is this really necessary? If it is, then we should just buy one!"

"The money for a fishing boat is nothing to us. As long as we can use it, we'll buy it."

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded immediately.

Others would definitely have to think carefully before buying a fishing boat, but for Zhao Dahai and me, there's no need to worry about whether we have the money.

There was only one thing on my mind: would buying such a fishing boat be of any use?

Zhao Dahai and I are indeed rich and can easily buy a large trawler, but we still have to consider whether we can use the money. We can't waste money or spend it recklessly.
