Rebirth of a fishing village: starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

"The fish are coming!"

Zhao Dahai raised the rod and the fishing line immediately tightened. The fish hanging on the hook rushed forward like a tractor. He controlled it carefully. After two minutes of rushing, the fish lost its strength. When he pulled it up, it was one pound. The first black snapper.

Zhao Dahai put a new sea centipede on the hook and threw it out. The 20-gram lead weight flew seven or eight meters and landed in the middle of a flowing water with floating bubbles. This time, no fish took the bait after waiting for ten minutes.

Zhao Dahai put away the fishing rod, drove the fishing boat forward about ten meters and stopped, and continued to cast the rod to fish. In less than ten minutes, he caught three five or six taels of black bream.

"Why!"

"The flowing water is really amazing! There are really fish."

Zhao Dahai sighed, a little depressed. After digging for sand worms for a few days, he went fishing today. He came early in the morning to the place where the fish he had caught a few days ago had flowing water. There were many small bubbles and the flowing water was very clear. It lasted for almost two hours. Staying in this place, I have been able to catch fish. There are already a dozen black sea bream in the live cabin, and they are not small. Unfortunately, the current is too short and too small. The longer they are, the bigger they will be, and the more fish they will get.

"What's the matter? Why is there a running water here?"

"How can we find such running water elsewhere?"

Zhao Dahai patted the back of his head hard. He had already started thinking about this before digging for sandworms. Today he was thinking about it again while fishing. He couldn't understand it at all. It was like a stream of water appeared out of thin air on the sea.

Zhao Dahai was a little helpless. He started the diesel engine and prepared to change places. There were indeed fish in the flowing water, but he couldn't help but go back and forth for two hours. He fished several times. He went to other places first, and after two hours or in the afternoon If you come here again, you will definitely be able to catch fish again.

Zhao Dahai turned the direction of the fishing boat's bow and was about to drive out to the open sea when he suddenly saw a small island in the southeast corner.

Huh?

How is this going? Why does it feel familiar?

No way?

Could it be that the big trench is under the fishing boat?

Zhao Dahai stood up and stared at the small island in the southeast corner carefully. He recalled and gestured carefully. He couldn't be 100% sure, but it was very likely that it was true. Under the fishing boat, he dug sandworms on his first day back. I encountered a large trench on the way. In order to remember that trench, I looked around carefully and saw the small island in the southeast corner in the distance.

"ha!"

"So that's what happened!"

Zhao Dahai was very excited and waved his right hand vigorously.

The sea water seems to be motionless, but it is not. It is just flowing at a slower speed. It is just that the sea surface is open and it is not obvious.

Once there is a trench on the seabed, which is two or three meters lower than the surrounding seabed. There is a gap, and the seawater flows faster than other places around it. The flowing water formed attracts the surrounding small fish and shrimps, and the nearby black sea bream. Fish gather here to catch food, and gradually the density of fish becomes higher than that in other places around. It is definitely easier to fish in this flowing water.

Zhao Dahai calmed down for a while, stared at the small island in the southeast corner for a while, carefully recalled the direction of the ditch he saw a few days ago, drove the fishing boat forward, and stopped at a place where no running water could be seen.

The trench is more than 100 and nearly 200 meters long. The water flowing on the sea surface is not long, only about 20 meters long. This is because the trench has become shallower, and the drop in the surrounding seabed is not large. The water has become weaker but has not disappeared completely. It is just not obvious or even invisible. Once you dive in, , you will definitely find something different. If your guess is correct, this is a trench. There must be flowing water and fish invisible under the calm water surface.

Zhao Dahai hung two large centipedes from a hook and threw them into the sea, where he judged them to be the trench.

bingo!

The lead pendant didn't have time to reach the bottom.

Just one second after entering the water, the fish bites and pulls him away!

Zhao Dahai raised the pole to stab the fish. He pulled it up and saw that it was not big, about four taels. He picked it up in the net, took off the hook and threw it into the live cabin.

Zhao Dahai was very excited. He took several deep breaths before calming down a little. His guess was correct. There was no flowing water on the sea surface, but there was indeed flowing water and fish. He continued fishing without stopping.

2 p.m.

The sun hides behind the clouds.

The temperature on the sea surface immediately dropped by two or three degrees, and the hot sea breeze became cooler.

Zhao Dahai stood up and walked to the side of the live cabin. It was full of fish. He caught fifty or sixty fish of various sizes in one morning. They were all caught in the flowing water area formed by the trench. They weighed twenty kilograms in total.

After Zhao Dahai finished eating, he changed places. The trench was only about a hundred meters long. There was indeed flowing water and fish, but there could not always be fish. He was very satisfied with catching so many. He spent an afternoon and an evening recuperating. The flowing water would definitely attract many fish to gather. , If we come fishing again tomorrow, we will definitely be able to catch a lot more.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat eastward for almost forty minutes before turning off the throttle. The fishing boat floated on the sea.

Where there is a ditch, there is running water.

Where there is running water, there are fish!

After reaping the benefits, I no longer blindly change locations, but only look for locations where water may flow.

Zhao Dahai stood up and looked carefully at the location of the village in the distance, which was almost unclear, and then looked at the location of the mangroves to the west. He determined that the place where he stopped was a reef on the bottom of the sea, with some high and some low, but no higher. The one half a meter short is almost level with the seabed.

The sea water here is seven or eight meters deep at high tide, so the movement of fishing boats is not affected in any way. Generally, it will not be exposed during small low tides. It is only exposed sometimes when the sea water recedes far away or once or twice a year during large low tides.

Zhao Dahai has been to this place several times. Some places in the middle of this reef are made of sea mud and sand. The sea water has been washed away for many years, and several trenches more than one meter deep have appeared. There must be flowing water.

Zhao Dahai observed carefully that the sea surface was calm, with some waves from time to time, and no obvious signs of flowing water. He had no choice but to rely on his memory, and spent half an hour moving around to adjust the position of the fishing boat before stopping.

Zhao Dahai threw the pole and the lead flew out. It fell into the water five or six meters away. It was pulled to the end and remained motionless.

"What the hell!"

Zhao Dahai expressed his emotions. He either chose the wrong place or threw it in the wrong position. The hook caught the reef and he had no choice but to tear it off with force.

Zhao Dahai carefully recalled the location of the submarine trench in his memory and once again looked at the villages and mangroves in the distance. The fishing boat moved five meters to the northeast and stopped. This time, he threw the pole four times and hung it three times. Finally, It was only once that the position of a trench was found, and the lead fell to the bottom of the sea. After pulling it, it didn't catch.

"ha!"

"coming!"

"This is it!"

“Look there’s no fish!”

Holding the pole in his hand, Zhao Dahai waited for five or six minutes without moving.

"No way?"

"Don't you think that's the case?"

"Isn't it a trench? No flowing water? Or is it a trench with flowing water but no fish?"

Zhao Dahai waited for ten minutes without any movement, feeling a little unbearable, took some line and pulled it, and a ferocious fish mouth directly pulled the line away.

"coming!"

"finally come!"

Zhao Dahai pulled the fish out of the water, the black bream was not big, only four taels. There are groups of black bream, one proves that I may have chosen the right place, and there will be more, so I will continue to cast the pole immediately.

One!

Two!

Three!

Zhao Dahai caught five fish in one breath before stopping, and the fishing boat drove forward ten meters to continue fishing.

The sun sets.

The glow is brilliant.

Zhao Dahai was a bit reluctant to leave. It was dark in less than half an hour, and he had to go back if there were any fish, and he would come back tomorrow. I spent most of the afternoon looking for the trench. I actually fished for less than two hours, but I caught more fish than in the morning. They were just not many big ones, but they were all four or two upwards. This is already quite good. In the sea It is impossible for big fish to swim everywhere.

Zhao Dahai picked up the fishing rod on the deck of the boat, and went home after collecting the rod without waiting for the fish.

Huh?

So heavy?

Are there fish?

But why don't you move?

As soon as Zhao Dahai turned the spinning wheel, something was hanging on the hook, and there was a fish on the hook, but he had been staring at the tip of the rod just now and remained motionless.

Tiger fish?

Zhao Dahai's eyes widened suddenly as he looked at the fish pulled out of the water. He carefully pulled it to the side of the boat, took the net and put it on the deck. It took him more than ten minutes to untie the hook hanging from his mouth, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "One stingray, two tigers and three sandy hairs", "two tigers" refers to the tiger fish that I just caught. It looks ugly and is yellowish in color. Such fish don't struggle much when taking the bait. No wonder the tip of the pole can't even move.

The tiger fish is extremely poisonous and can be very painful if you bite it, but it tastes delicious. It is one of the high-end seafoods. This fish weighs two kilograms. One kilogram can be sold for 150 to 200 yuan, and 300 to 400 yuan per kilogram. .

Zhao Dahai was very happy, he didn't expect the fish to be harvested so beautifully, he pulled up the anchor and drove the fishing boat back home.
