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

"Some time ago."

"Uncle Ding Chongshan and Boss Lin Zuhua came here to fish."

...

"At the beginning, Uncle Ding caught a very large mackerel."

...

"Boss Lin has never been able to catch a large mackerel."

...

"After returning, I was a little unwilling, so I immediately went out to the sea to continue fishing for mackerels here, but I still couldn't catch a mackerel bigger than Uncle Ding."

...

Ding Dawen told the whole story in detail.

Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin now clearly knew what was going on. The two of them couldn't help but look carefully at the sea in front of them. It was calm and there was nothing special about it. I really couldn't understand why this place could catch mackerels, and it could catch mackerels again and again.

"Why? I really can't see it?"

Gao Zhicheng looked carefully for almost half an hour, and really couldn't see how this place could become a fishing spot for mackerels.

"Yes!"

"How can you catch mackerel in this place? And you can catch mackerel by drifting?"

"Are there mackerel weighing more than 100 kilograms?"

Wu Weimin thought carefully for a long time and couldn't remember anyone saying that this place in front of him was a good place to drift and fish for mackerel.

"I really don't know what's going on. Did Zhao Dahai say why there are so many mackerels here?"

Gao Zhicheng was very curious about what Zhao Dahai said about this.

"No!"

"Zhao Dahai didn't pay much attention to this matter. He just said that this is a place to fish for mackerel."

Ding Dawen shook his head.

"Ha!"

"Zhao Dahai will definitely not pay much attention to this matter."

"Look, you can get mackerel here, and you can catch a lot of big mackerel, but for Zhao Dahai who goes out to sea to fish just to make money, such a place is actually not very meaningful."

"A mackerel weighing 100 to 80 kilograms is indeed good in size, and can be sold for a lot of money, but don't forget that Zhao Dahai can catch more fish and make more money by fishing for sea bass or black porgy, not to mention the more valuable grouper on the seabed."

"Why would Zhao Dahai spend time thinking about why this place has become a fishing spot for mackerel?"

Wu Weimin smiled and shook his head. If ordinary people knew that they could let cattle go to fish for mackerel here, and could catch a lot of mackerel, they would definitely pay great attention to it, but Zhao Dahai would definitely not pay special attention to this place.

It has long been known that this place is a good place to fish for mackerel, but no one has ever fished for mackerel here specifically.

"Okay!"

"That's true. This place is a good place for us fishermen, but it's not a good place for Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu."

Gao Zhicheng had to admit that what Wu Weimin said made a lot of sense. It was really like that.

"By the way!"

"If Ding Dawen can catch so many mackerels here, why didn't you release them today?"

Gao Zhicheng looked left and right. There was no fishing rod on the whole fishing boat. He felt very strange.

"I fished yesterday morning."

"I haven't had time to adjust it today!"

Ding Dawen nodded, but immediately shook his head. He would release mackerels almost every day, but today he just hadn't started yet.

"Oh?"

"Is that so? Did you catch any?"

Wu Weimin was very curious whether Ding Dawen caught any mackerels.

Ding Dawen told Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng that he had caught two mackerels yesterday, one weighing more than 80 kilograms, and the other weighing 110 kilograms.

Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of disbelief.

Ding Dawen thought about it, and simply took Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng to the cold storage of the fishing boat.

"What!"

"Have you caught so many mackerels in the past few days?"

...

"Hey!"

"This one really weighs more than 100 kilograms, at least 110 kilograms!"

...

Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng looked at the dozen or so mackerels of different sizes placed on the ice of the cold storage. The small one weighed about 10 kilograms, and the largest one was obviously more than 100 kilograms.

"Yes!"

"I had really good luck on this trip."

"As long as I have time and nothing else to do, I will go fishing for mackerel. Anyway, I don't need to worry about throwing it into the sea, I can just bring it back."

Ding Dawen talked about the whole process of his fishing in the past few days. He really didn't need to worry about it. This kind of fishing was really suitable for him.

Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin really didn't know what to say.

Ding Dawen could get these mackerels easily. The key is that the size of these mackerels is quite good. They are all more than 10 pounds, 20 to 30 pounds, 70 to 80 pounds, and even one is more than 100 pounds.

"Gao Zhicheng."

"Such a big mackerel should be very strong, right?"

Wu Weimin patted the largest mackerel vigorously.

"Is there any need to say this? Mackerels are strong by themselves. This kind of mackerel weighing more than 100 pounds is really not a joke."

"It's really not something that ordinary people can catch."

"One is that such a large mackerel is very rare, especially in such an offshore area."

"Another is that even if such a fish bites the hook, it may not be caught. The sugar cane or stuffing used by ordinary fishermen are not suitable for such a large mackerel."

"Even if you are very lucky, if you really encounter such a large mackerel, it will break the line immediately after biting the hook, and you will not have time to react, let alone catch it."

Gao Zhicheng nodded vigorously.

It is very difficult to catch a mackerel weighing more than 100 kilograms in such an offshore area.

Ordinary people, even those like me who specialize in sea fishing, will not prepare rods and lines for large fish. Generally speaking, they will fish for other fish.

In this way, even if you are lucky enough one day and encounter such a large mackerel biting the hook, you will not have time to react, or if you just pull the mackerel a few times, the huge size and strength will break the line and run away.

"I have encountered this situation several times when I was fishing."

"When fishing for other fish, especially big sea bass, I encountered big Spanish mackerel."

"Once I saw the fish bite the hook from a distance, flew out of the water, shook its head and broke the line. Another time it was pulled to the side of the speedboat, and when I was about to put the big iron hook in, the line hung at the corner of its mouth and the sharp teeth were worn off."

"I really don't catch many big Spanish mackerels."

Gao Zhicheng shook his head as he spoke.

For people who like fishing, big Spanish mackerels are really no joke, they are definitely a fish they really want to catch.

Don't look at yourself fishing for many years, but there are not many big Spanish mackerels that you can really catch.

"Should we give it a try and see if we can catch a big Spanish mackerel?"

Wu Weimin couldn't help but look at the sea around him carefully again, and just walked out of the cabin.

I have to say that judging from what I can see now, I really don’t know if this place is a good fishing spot for drift fishing for Spanish mackerel.

“How can I not give it a try? Anyway, we have nothing else to do here, so we must give it a try to see if we have such luck today!”

Gao Zhicheng didn’t even think about it, and immediately turned around to get the rod. Everything was ready. If Ding Dawen could catch the Spanish mackerel with the big brother’s head, he and Wu Weimin would definitely be able to catch it.

“Right!”

“Just hang a barramundi on the hook. Put it in the sea, and the barramundi will keep swimming forward. You have to release it about a hundred meters away, and then you just have to wait. Check every half an hour or an hour to see if the barramundi on the hook is dead? If it is dead, then replace it. If it is not dead, then it doesn’t matter.”

Ding Dawen briefly talked about his method of fishing for Spanish mackerel.

Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng have rich experience in fishing, and they knew that this was just the simplest method of drift fishing.

Ding Dawen has been fishing for Spanish mackerel these days. At night, he would use a string hook to catch Spanish mackerel and put them in the live water tank. All of them were as big as two fingers, very fat and full of vitality.

Wu Weiming and Gao Zhicheng prepared the rods, caught the Spanish mackerel and hung them on the hooks, and put them into the sea. They kept shaking the line gently. The Spanish mackerel hanging on the hooks was frightened and kept swimming forward. When they swam out about 80 to 100 meters, they stopped and the rods were inserted into the holes on the side of the fishing boat.

"If Ding Dawen can catch Spanish mackerel, there is no reason why we can't catch them, right?"

Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng put out five rods in one breath.

"Ha!"

"Who can say for sure?"

"Just because Ding Dawen can catch fish doesn't mean we can catch fish. Maybe we can spend several days here and not catch a single fish."

Gao Zhicheng really didn't dare to say such a thing. Going out to sea for fishing really depends on the fishing skills, but just having the skills doesn't necessarily mean you can catch fish. Ding Dawen's fishing skills are really impossible to be better than his own. Wu Weimin is much better than Ding Dawen, but it doesn't mean that he and Wu Weimin can catch mackerel. Sometimes fishing really depends on luck. Maybe Ding Dawen is the kind of person with amazing luck. In the fishing circle, people like this are called "fish luck".

"Puh!"

"Gao Zhicheng."

"You are really a crow's mouth. If you can't catch any fish today, it's all your fault."

Wu Weimin glared at Gao Zhicheng fiercely. He said such a thing when he just started fishing. If he really can't catch any fish today, it will be troublesome.

"Ha!"

"I'm just talking."

"Ding Dawen can catch mackerel here, how can we not catch mackerel?"

"Just be confident."

Gao Zhicheng didn't care at all, he was just talking.

Ding Dawen can catch fish, how can he not catch fish? Not to mention that it's impossible for him and Wu Weimin to not catch fish when they are fishing here.

The sun is getting higher and higher.

It's eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

Gao Zhicheng and Wu Weimin are sweating, and their clothes are all sweaty.

"What's going on? Why are there no fish?"

Wu Weimin put away a pole and looked at the Balang fish hanging on it. It was full of vitality and had no problems at all. The other four poles had been inspected and the fish on them were all alive and well. But it has been more than three hours, and not to mention the mackerel, I have not encountered any other fish, and there is no sign of a fish biting the hook.

"This is really weird."

"Ding Dawen has been able to catch fish here these days, which proves that this place is a good place to catch mackerel."

"But why can't we catch fish?"

"Is it possible that these mackerels in the sea can still tell that this is the hook set by the two of us, not Ding Dawen's hook. Are you sure that only Ding Dawen's hook will bite?"

Gao Zhicheng had a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it. He really couldn't believe that he and Wu Weimin couldn't catch a mackerel. At the beginning, both of them were very ambitious, thinking that they must catch a fish weighing more than 100 pounds. , now all that is left in my mind is that as long as I can catch fish, it doesn’t matter if I catch a mackerel weighing more than ten kilograms or even seven or eight kilograms, even if I catch a sea bass. But no fish bit the hook.

"What the hell, why can't the two of us catch anything?"

Wu Weimin was puzzled. He really didn't know what happened.

"Boss Wu and Boss Zhao, it's such a hot day for you two. Why don't you two stay under the awning or stay inside the cab? What are you doing outside?"

Shi Guangming had just woken up, carrying his hookah and lighting it while walking up to Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng.

"Are you fishing? What kind of fish are you fishing for?"

Zhao Shi followed Shi Guangming and looked at the five poles stuck on the side of the fishing boat. They were drift fishing.

"Ding Dawen caught a lot of mackerel here, and some of the mackerel are very big. Didn't the two of us go fishing with Zhao Dahai's speedboat today?"

"We gave it a try to see if we could catch it, but it's been three to four hours and we haven't caught a single mackerel or even a fish."

"This is really weird, I don't know what happened."

"The two of us were just talking about whether these mackerels in the sea know that these hooks were not set by Master Ding, so they simply don't bite the hooks."

Wu Weimin was very helpless. He really didn't know what was going on. Ding Dawen could catch the mackerel, but he and Gao Zhicheng couldn't catch it.
