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

"What should we do?"

"It would be the best if we could find Zhao Dahai, but the artificial island is so big that we can't find Zhao Dahai!"

Wu Guodong frowned.

The decision to go fishing on the artificial island not long ago was really a bit hasty.

You can't catch fish just by going to a place. Even if there are people or even many people who can catch fish, it doesn't mean that we can catch fish here.

There must be fish here on the artificial island, and there are a lot of fish. The problem is that we are not familiar with this place. We don't know where to fish or even what method to use to catch fish.

"Can we find Zhao Dahai?"

"There is no such opportunity?"

Lin Zuhua looked at Ding Chongshan and then at Gao Zhicheng. This is the simplest and most direct method. As long as we can find Zhao Dahai, there will be no problem. We will definitely be able to catch fish.

Ding Chongshan and Gao Zhicheng thought about it for a long time and shook their heads. The artificial island reef is not a small place. It is not easy to find a speedboat.

"The only way now is for us to drive the speedboat around, for example, for an hour or so, to see if we can find Zhao Dahai. If we can find him, we will go fishing with Zhao Dahai. If we can't find him, we can only find a place to fish by ourselves."

"If we can fish, we will fish. If we can't fish, we will go back to the fishing boat when it's almost dark."

Gao Zhicheng thought about it for a long time and felt that this was the only way. At this time, they could only have such a choice.

Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin and Wu Guodong all nodded. This is indeed the only way.

Gao Zhicheng drove the speedboat with the fish finder turned on and drove forward. One was to see if he could find Zhao Dahai's speedboat. The other was to see if he could find a structure on the seabed. In this way, even if he couldn't find Zhao Dahai, they could try to fish.

Gao Zhicheng was able to take care of it at first, but soon he couldn't take care of it anymore and called Ding Chongshan to come over and stare at the fish finder.

"This place is quite good!"

...

"There is another place here. I think it should be able to catch a big grouper!"

...

"Write it down! Write it down!"

"We have to write down the location of this place. If we can't find Zhao Dahai later, we can come here to fish!"

...

Ding Chongshan, Lin Zuhua, Wu Weimin and Wu Guodong all crowded around the fish finder, staring at the structure of the seabed displayed on the fish finder with wide eyes. As long as they found a good place, they would mark the coordinates immediately.

Gao Zhicheng concentrated on driving the speedboat, but after more than an hour, he still couldn't find Zhao Dahai.

Gao Zhicheng stopped the speedboat.

"It's getting late. If we keep looking like this, we may not be able to find Zhao Dahai."

"Why don't we just go fishing by ourselves for two or three hours to see if we can catch him. If we can't catch him, we can just go back to the fishing boat."

Gao Zhicheng looked at Ding Chongshan and the others. If they continued to look like this, they really didn't know if they could find Zhao Dahai. Artificial islands and reefs are not small places.

Ding Chongshan and Wu Weimin all nodded. After searching for an hour without finding Zhao Dahai, they really could only fish by themselves.

Gao Zhicheng looked at the fish pond and found a place that looked quite good nearby. He parked the speedboat and turned on the top flow engine.

"Why are there so few speedboats here on the artificial islands and reefs? What's going on?"

Wu Guodong looked at the few speedboats on the surrounding sea and felt very strange.

During this period, I heard that many speedboats all went to artificial islands and reefs to fish, and some people have caught a lot of fish. Under normal circumstances, there should be many speedboats in this place, but there are really too few now.

Gao Zhicheng said that recently there were not many groupers to be caught on artificial islands and reefs or other places, and many speedboats that used to fish for groupers all went to fish for sea bass or black bream.

Zhao Dahai and his team caught a lot of groupers in this place yesterday. The news of groupers opening had not spread yet, and other speedboats did not know yet, as there were so few speedboats in this place.

Wu Guodong finally understood what was going on.

"It seems that after the news spreads in a few days, this place will definitely be crowded with speedboats!"

Wu Guodong is not a person who specializes in sea fishing, but he runs a fishing tackle shop and is very familiar with these things of fishermen in the sea.

If there are no fish to be caught in one place, they will definitely squeeze into another place.

A few days ago, there were no groupers to be caught in places like artificial islands and reefs or windmill feet, and those who fished for groupers had no choice but to fish for other fish, such as sea bass or black bream, or yellow chicken, which were all the targets of these fishermen.

But once a place can be used to catch fish, and the news spreads, everyone will definitely use this place.

There are indeed not many speedboats on the artificial islands and reefs now, but there are people. If fish are caught, the news will spread all over the world in a few days.

"Ha!"

"Does this need to be said?"

"Tomorrow there will definitely be more speedboats waiting to fish here, and the day after tomorrow there will definitely be more people coming here to fish!"

Ding Chongshan quickly prepared the rod. He didn't have the ability to use a hand-cranked spinning wheel rod, so he could only use the rod on the gun carriage.

"The water depth is 145 meters!"

"There are all kinds of reefs of various sizes below!"

"We are now in a very good position."

"Put the line to 135 to 140 meters."

"Stop for a while to see if there are any fish biting the hook. If there are no fish, pull up the rod."

"If there are no fish, then knock on the bottom again."

Gao Zhicheng looked at the fish finder and loudly reminded Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua to fish.

"Hey!"

"Why do you feel that what you said, Gao Zhicheng, sounds very much like Zhao Dahai?"

Ding Chongshan glanced at Gao Zhicheng.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"It really sounds like what Zhao Dahai said!"

...

"Ha!"

"When he shouted that just now, I really thought it was in the sea!"

...

"Although the words are a bit similar, I don't know if we can catch fish?"

...

"Gao Zhicheng."

"What's the matter with you? Why do you talk like Zhao Dahai?"    ...

Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong all laughed.

"Okay!"

"You are absolutely right. What I said just now really sounds like Zhao Dahai."

"It seems that I have been fishing with Zhao Dahai too many times. I have been influenced by Zhao Dahai unconsciously."

Gao Zhicheng wanted to refute at first, but soon he found that it was really like what Ding Chongshan said. His words were almost exactly the same as Zhao Dahai's.

"It doesn't matter what you say, what your tone is, or whether you look like Zhao Dahai or not. The most important thing now is whether we can catch fish!"

Ding Chongshan said as he let out the line, and stopped at 135 meters.

"No fish is biting!"

...

"I've been waiting for a while!"

...

"Pull up the rod!"

...

"Let out the line and hit the bottom."

...

Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong worked hard but no fish took the bait.

Gao Zhicheng looked at the rod in front of him and smiled bitterly. The same operation method, the same line was stuck in the reef when it was let out and hit the bottom.

"Hahahaha!"

"Gao Zhicheng!"

"It seems that not everyone can have the job of a boat captain!"

"If someone like you is a boat captain, no one will be willing to book a fishing spot!"

Ding Chongshan said as he shook his head.

Gao Zhicheng is indeed a master of fishing, but now it seems that he is not qualified to be a boat captain. He doesn't know if there are fish in the place he found, but he and his people didn't catch any fish, and two of them got stuck.

"Yo!"

"I say, are you thinking too much?"

"If I have Zhao Dahai's ability, why would I need to take you out to sea to fish?"

"Isn't it very comfortable to go out to sea to fish by myself?"

Gao Zhicheng laughed and scolded.

Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong had no way to refute. This statement was actually very correct. If Gao Zhicheng really had Zhao Dahai's ability, he could go out to sea to fish by himself. Why would he need to wait or follow Zhao Dahai's speedboat to go out to sea to fish?

Gao Zhicheng, Ding Chongshan, Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Wu Guodong drove the speedboat to several places but failed to catch any fish. It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was setting and it would be dark soon. One reason was safety. Another important thing was that they had no intention to continue fishing without catching any fish. They drove the speedboat back to Ding Dawen's fishing boat.

Ding Dawen saw Gao Zhicheng and his men's speedboat coming back from a distance. He immediately lowered the boat ladder, walked to the side of the fishing boat, and went down the ladder to a position close to the sea surface.

"Uncle."

"It looks like you didn't catch any fish today!"

Ding Dawen looked at Ding Chongshan's face and then at Wu Weimin and his men's faces and immediately knew that he definitely didn't catch any fish this afternoon.

Why was it like this?

Zhao Dahai was not found!

Although uncle Ding Chongshan and Wu Weimin had experience in fishing, they were not familiar with artificial islands and reefs. They definitely couldn't catch any fish in the places they found.

"We spent almost an hour, but we couldn't find Zhao Dahai's speedboat for fishing."

"We can only fish by ourselves!"

"We found several good spots. Ali's structure is very good, but we didn't catch any fish. Instead, we kept getting stuck!"

"In just two or three hours, each of the five of us got stuck at least ten times."

"We didn't catch any fish, but lost a lot of money."

Ding Chongshan shook his head.

In these few hours, he and his people really didn't make a penny.

Not to mention the gas money, the lead weights and hooks alone cost a lot of money.

"Fortunately, we don't need to go out to sea to make money, otherwise we won't have any pants left."

Wu Guodong laughed at himself. This is a fact. We really don't need to go out to sea to make money, otherwise we will definitely lose money every day.

"The structure of the seabed here on the artificial islands and reefs is too complicated. We are not familiar with it. As long as we hit the bottom, we will definitely get stuck almost 100% of the time."

"This is really strange! Why is it that when Zhao Dahai takes us to go fishing on artificial islands and reefs, it is not to say that we don't get stuck on the bottom, but it is really very rare to get stuck on the bottom!"

Gao Zhicheng carefully recalled that when he and Zhao Dahai went fishing on artificial islands and reefs, they really never got stuck on the bottom like today. Getting stuck on the bottom three or five times a day is already a big deal, but this afternoon, it was only two or three hours, and he really got stuck on the bottom until his hands cramped.

"Artificial islands and reefs are different from natural ones, and the structure in the sea is more complicated."

"Zhao Dahai is very familiar with the seabed here."

"Even in unfamiliar places, Zhao Dahai can find out what is wrong with his hands."

"Remind us that we should pay attention."

"Another more important thing is that Zhao Dahai's speedboat often docks in a very suitable position, so we can't get stuck even if we don't pay attention when hitting the bottom."

Ding Chongshan didn't spend much time fishing with Zhao Dahai, but he knew very well how Zhao Dahai did it.

"Yes!"

"Zhao Dahai really knows the seabed structure here too well, and another thing is that Zhao Dahai can really tell where the speedboat should dock to hit the bottom so that it is not easy to get stuck."

"Other boat bosses, including us, are gambling on luck when the speedboat hits the bottom in one place when fishing."

"Sometimes it doesn't get stuck, but more often it does."

Lin Zuhua nodded.

This kind of thing is actually simple to say, but it is really difficult to do.

When we went fishing with Zhao Dahai, we rarely got stuck on the bottom, but Zhao Dahai really knew the structure of the fishing spot too well.

Now without Zhao Dahai, I am trying to find a spot to hit the bottom to fish for grouper, and it is normal to get stuck on the bottom.

Ding Chongshan, Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua, Wu Weimin and Wu Guodong packed up the things on the speedboat and got on the fishing boat. They were full of confidence when they went to the artificial islands and reefs, but now everyone is a little dejected.
