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

rain.

Thin and continuous.

Water pooled on the cement floor.

Zhao Dahai walked out of the kitchen after breakfast, and saw the little Naihei lying on the door of the main room. This dog is really smart.

During the day and night, when grandma Zhong Cuihua was weaving fishing nets in the main room, she would lie down at her feet and follow her when she went out, such as to the vegetable patch behind the house. At night, as long as grandma Zhong Cuihua went back to the house to sleep, she would immediately lie down at the door of the main room or the yard. Never enter the house. Only a few months old but really smart and dedicated.

Zhao Dahai glanced at the sky. It was another rainy day. He put on his raincoat and went out with the sea centipedes and Antarctic shrimps he bought yesterday. When he walked to the pier, he found that there were not many fishing boats going out to sea. Most of them were parked. Zhong Shizhu and Lei Da These people knew from the fishing boat that they did not go fishing in the early morning.

Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment before he remembered a very important thing. In continuous rainy days, the salinity of seawater in the sea has changed greatly, especially in shallow sea areas. The fish schools in the sea have been greatly affected. Fish, shrimps and crabs cannot survive. To adapt, most swim to deeper water areas. People like Zhong Shizhu who have been fishing for many years have rich experience and simply don’t go out to sea. There are not many fish to waste their efforts. If they can’t make money, it’s better to sleep at home.

Zhao Dahai didn't go home, so he untied the cable, pulled up the anchor, and drove the fishing boat out to sea. He couldn't sit still at home, so he went out to sea to try several places. Those who couldn't catch knew that there were no fish in this place and they couldn't come back. A place where you can catch fish is a huge profit.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat to the sea area to the west of the village. He had been heading east for the past few days and hadn't caught many fish. He tried to change the direction. The fishing boat passed by the mangroves and saw a very flowing stream of water almost two hundred meters long on the sea. Clearly, I looked up and saw that the source was in the woods. It had been raining for a few days, and a lot of water had accumulated in the mangrove forests, and they all rushed into the sea together.

"Huh?"

"There's no way there's any fish in this place!"

Looking at the rolling water, Zhao Dahai decided to try to see if there were any fish. If it was a good thing, he did not continue to look for a place, and it would not take much time.

Zhao Dahai adjusted the position of the fishing boat, close to the edge of the flowing water, with the bow facing the sea. He lowered the anchor to stabilize the fishing boat, and prepared two poles, one to hang sea centipedes and the other to hang Antarctic shrimps. There are also small mud shrimps in it, try them all, first to see if there are any fish, and to see which bait is more useful.

The method of hanging sea centipedes is very simple. Just hang them directly on the head. Antarctic shrimps are frozen bait. They have been processed and added with some fish attractants or other things. Open the vacuum packaging, pick the largest one, which is about the same as a small mud shrimp, and pinch it off. The small tail is easy to spin in the water without pinching it off. The hook is hooked into the belly of the shrimp and then hooked back again. The entire hook is hidden in the shrimp. When it is hanging down with the fishing line, it looks like a shrimp with onions upside down.

Zhao Dahai first tried the sea centipede pole, threw it out, pulled it when it reached the bottom, and found that it was not hooked. After waiting for a few minutes, no fish took the bait, so he put it on the deck and changed it to the Antarctic shrimp pole. Not long after it reached the bottom, it was immediately hooked. When a fish bites, wait patiently for the tip of the pole to shake a few times and pause before raising the pole to stab the fish. It is a bit heavy, and when pulled up, it looks like a yellow bream.

"Why!"

"Why not black sea bream!?"

Zhao Dahai was a little disappointed. There is running water here. If you catch black sea bream, there must be a school of fish and a school of big fish. The catch now is yellow snapper, there are fish but not many.

Zhao Dahai picked the fish and threw it into the live cabin. He thought it was a bit funny. When there were no fish, he just thought there were fish. Now that he caught the fish, he thought why it was not black sea bream. This was a bit greedy. It was good to have fish in this weather. Yellow snapper and black snapper are both good things.

Zhao Dahai hooked up the Antarctic shrimp again. As soon as the bait hit the water, before it had time to sink to the bottom, the fish was immediately dragged away.

section!

Zhao Dahai immediately raised his pole, and what was pulled out of the water was another seven or eight taels of yellow snapper.

School of fish?

Are there any big schools of yellow snapper here?

Zhao Dahai suddenly became excited.

Cutting means that the fish snatch the bait as soon as it enters the water. This will only happen when the number of fish reaches a certain level and there is not enough food in the sea.

Zhao Dahai speeded up, hung up the bait and threw the rod. Just as he guessed, there were indeed schools of yellow snapper. The bait was immediately dragged away as soon as it hit the water. Sometimes, the fish even rushed out of the water to grab the bait.

Zhao Dahai was a little stunned. The yellow sea bream was obviously a little crazy today. It was more ferocious than the bass. He kept hanging baits, throwing rods, and pulling in fish. After fishing for a full two hours, the number of fish gradually decreased.

Zhao Dahai shook his hand. After two hours of non-stop, his hands were sore. When he was talking wildly and making cuts, fishing was really physical work. He drank some water, rested for about ten minutes, weighed the anchor and drove the fishing boat to the sea. The direction moved twenty meters. This is already the end of the flowing water, and five or six meters further the flowing water disappears without a trace. Fishing at the head of the stream and fishing at the tail of the stream must not be missed.

Zhao Dahai started fishing again. There were obviously not many fish on the tail, and the bait was not biting fiercely. It took five to six minutes or even ten minutes to catch a fish. However, the advantage was that the fish were generally quite big, weighing less than a pound. superior.

Zhao Dahai fished for a whole day, and he reluctantly left until it got dark and couldn't see the surrounding sea.

A drizzle fell.

The village pier was quiet.

The fishing boats were parked neatly, and there was no one there.

Zhao Dahai searched for a long time before he found a suitable place to park the fishing boat, and fished out the fish in the live cabin. He couldn't finish it in two buckets, so he went home and made another trip to get it all.

The yard is lighted.

Zhao Dahai held the bowl and looked at the fish in the pond while eating.

"The sea."

"How did you catch so many fish today?"

"It has been raining for several days, and no fishing boats in the village have gone out to sea."

Zhong Cuihua was very surprised. If it rains for one day, it won't have much impact, but if it rains for several days in a row, there won't be too many fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea, and there won't be any good harvests. All the fishing boats in the village are parked, thinking Zhao Dahai would not get any good results when he went to sea. He did not expect to catch so many fish, which weighed 50 or 60 kilograms and could not escape. Even if he put a fishing net of hundreds of meters or more than a thousand meters, he would not be able to get such a good harvest.

"Who knows what happened?"

"I drove a fishing boat through the mangrove forest in the morning and saw a stream of water rushing out of it."

“Isn’t there a saying that fish eats running water?”

"I tried the first rod and caught fish immediately, and then I dropped more and more fish."

“Today’s fish were all caught in one place!”

Zhao Dahai has been confused until now.

"Whatever it is."

“It’s a good thing if you can catch fish.”

Zhong Cuihua didn't think much about it, it's a good thing to catch fish, and it doesn't matter why.

Late at night.

The village was quiet.

It rained non-stop.

It made a rustling sound as it hit the window.

Zhao Dahai was very tired after fishing for a whole day, but he couldn't sleep in bed. He kept thinking about why he caught so many yellow snappers in the same place today. It’s not surprising if it’s black sea bream. Yellow sea bream doesn’t form large schools of fish. This is a fish weighing at least fifty or sixty pounds, and possibly even seventy or eighty pounds. It’s really a bit miraculous.

Running water?

This is a reason.

After several days of rain, the accumulated water in the mangroves rushed out, containing all kinds of things that fish can eat. In addition, the flowing water has high oxygen content, so it is not surprising that fish are attracted.

But why is it yellow snapper and not another fish? At least why not black bream?

Zhao Dahai saw that it was almost dawn, so he simply stopped sleeping and got up. The last time he stayed up all night thinking about running water, this time he stayed up all night thinking about the yellow sea bream. However, this matter must be considered clearly. If you don't think about it, you can only catch fish once or twice. Once you think about it, if you encounter the same situation in the future, no matter where you are, you can immediately go fishing for yellow snapper without saying anything, and you can make more money. To do something, you have to love it, and you have to study it. Only then can we make progress.

After breakfast, Zhao Dahai went out to continue fishing. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand today, he keeps thinking about it, and he will definitely figure it out one day.
