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

Yellow chicken weighs two hundred and fifteen pounds and three taels.

There are seventeen blue spots, totaling two hundred and seven kilograms.

There are six sesame spots, a total of seventy-six pounds and one tael.

A piece of gentian grouper weighs fifteen pounds per tael.

There were five red spots, totaling fifteen kilograms and nine taels.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Why do I think you should stop catching so many fish in the future!"

"This is too exaggerated! It's amazing!"

Wu Weimin shook his head, everything had just been weighed.

"ha!"

"Isn't that what fishing in the open sea is like? If you hit the right tide and the fish are opening up, you can make a lot of money all of a sudden!"

Zhao Dahai knew that he had caught a lot of fish today, but he was still a little shocked after the fish were weighed.

The yellow chickens weighed more than two hundred kilograms. Judging from the weight alone, they were indeed heavier. However, today’s yellow chickens were all relatively large. If we caught two, three, or two hundred kilograms, there weren’t many of them.

What was a bit surprising was that the number of groupers caught was really more than twenty or even close to thirty. However, the groupers caught this time were all small in size, and the total weight was not amazing.

"Blue spots cost two hundred and seventy yuan a pound."

"Sesame spots cost one hundred and eighty yuan a pound."

"Erythema costs eight hundred yuan a pound."

"Gentian grouper costs eighty yuan a pound."

"Yellow chicken costs one hundred and thirty yuan per catty."

Wu Weimin directly refused to discuss the number of fish caught with Zhao Dahai. This was a fishing machine and did not know the sufferings of other fishermen.

Zhao Dahai did catch a lot of fish this time. The yellow chickens were big but the groupers were generally not too big. The price Wu Weimin offered was the currency price, which was very good, so he agreed directly.

"Blue spots are fifty-five thousand eight hundred and ninety dollars."

"Thirteen thousand six hundred and nine stone patches of sesame patches."

"Twelve thousand, seven hundred and twenty dollars for red spots."

"Twenty-seven thousand nine hundred and eighty-nine yuan for yellow chicken."

"One thousand, two hundred and eight pieces of gentian grouper."

"The total is 112,483 yuan."

Wu Weimin settled the account and checked it again. There was no problem. He took the money from the car and brought it to Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai thought about going fishing with Lin Zuhua and Gao Zhicheng tomorrow morning. If Wu Weimin didn't come tonight, he didn't have to talk about it. When he came, he would definitely talk about it, especially if there were free fishing spots on the boat.

When Wu Weimin heard this, he immediately said that he would arrive before four o'clock in the morning. He shouted to the driver who was driving to load the fish immediately and return to town immediately after loading. He had to go back quickly to prepare fishing equipment.

Zhao Dahai stood at the door of the yard, watching Wu Weimin's truck slowly disappear. He turned around and went home, packed up things for tomorrow's fishing, and took the time to sleep.

Four o'clock in the morning.

The small pier in Langtou Village is very lively.

The fishmongers waiting to buy fish, shrimps and crabs, and the fishing boats returning from fishing one after another, gathered together to bargain loudly.

Lin Zuhua parked his car at the edge of the pier, opened the door, and immediately saw Wu Weimin's car parked not far away, and walked quickly over.

"Boss Wu."

"Come here so early."

Lin Zuhua took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to Wu Weimin.

"Zhao Dahai definitely can't miss it when he takes people out to go fishing. I have a hunch that we will definitely come back with a full load today."

Wu Weimin took out his lighter and first lit a cigarette for Lin Zuhua, then lit it and took a puff himself.

"Have you taken away the fish Zhao Dahai caught?"

"Very amazing."

"It's a pity that we didn't go fishing with the speedboat hidden in the sea."

“The pulling power of the big grouper is really good!”

Lin Zuhua introduced Gao Zhicheng, who followed him.

Wu Weimin and Gao Zhicheng said hello.

"I took away all the yellow chickens and groupers that Zhao Dahai caught yesterday."

"It may not look big, but it is really valuable. One person can catch so many and make a lot of money."

…

"I don't know how the fish situation is today. Zhao Dahai said yesterday that there is a possibility that we won't be able to catch any fish today."

…

"ha!"

"I'm not worried about that at all."

"Zhao Dahai's standards are different from others. When he says he can't catch fish, it's just relative to when he catches fish himself!"

"It's just that the fishing was so good yesterday! I'm worried that today's fish stocks will be affected."

…

"I wonder what kind of fish we caught today?"

…

"ha."

"The sea bass fishing was great last time, but I didn't catch the Mayu. I hope I can have a chance to catch it today."

…

Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua, and Gao Zhicheng smoked and chatted. After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhao Dahai drove over in a tricycle.

When Zhao Dahai saw Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Gao Zhicheng standing on the edge of the pier, he immediately speeded up, stopped in front of the three of them, said hello, and immediately carried the things to the speedboat and placed them all.

Zhao Dahai asked Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Gao Zhicheng to pack their things on the speedboat. He then boarded the dock again and walked to the fishmonger who was buying fish, shrimps and crabs. After looking at it, he bought a dozen kilograms of prawns and two or three kilograms of prawns. The crabs, plus seven or eight catties of large octopuses, are all alive, and the iron-framed cages are installed separately, and they are carried on the speedboat to raise them in the live cabin.

Zhao Dahai reminded Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Gao Zhicheng to check the things they had brought, especially the fishing rods and related accessories. They were all fine. They untied the cables of the speedboat, pulled up the anchor and went out to sea immediately.

It's half past four in the morning.

The sea is getting wider and wider.

The speedboat driven by Zhao Dahai slowly increased its speed. At first, it was surrounded by small fishing boats that were returning from fishing or pulling in fishing nets. After half an hour, there were fewer and fewer fishing boats around.

Zhao Dahai immediately speeded up, and the speedboat reached forty-two knots.

Zhao Dahai observed the sea surface while driving the fishing boat. The water color was quite good. It was not bright yet, but it could be seen that it was very clear. There was a little wave but it was not too big.

"Can we catch any fish today?"

Wu Weimin stood by the side of the cockpit holding the armrest.

“It’s hard to say for other fish today, but sea bass shouldn’t be a big problem! As for horsetail, we have to see if we have such luck! But there is definitely a chance.”

Zhao Dahai pointed to the sea.

If you want to catch sea bass, especially sea bass in reef areas, you must have a little wind and waves to form the foam area that sea bass likes best.

There is no running water at all, no wind at all, and it is difficult to catch sea bass without waves, at least the sea bass will not open their mouths wildly.

When Zhao Dahai drove his speedboat to the fishing spot for sea bass, it was just dawn. At a glance, he saw a white foam area in the east and a white foam area in the west on the blue sea.

"ha!"

“There are really a lot of speedboats today!”

Wu Weimin looked around, and it was only a little past five o'clock, and there were almost twenty speedboats scattered in various places.

"This is a very famous fishing spot for sea bass. There are many people fishing for sea bass here every day, and there are speedboats here almost anytime."

"Today's weather is good. There are waves and wind, but the wind is not too strong and the waves are not too big. It is a good weather for sea bass fishing, but I estimate that the waves will be bigger if it is later."

Zhao Dahai looked at the sea surface near the islands and reefs. The water flow was not very obvious and was almost invisible, but the waves kept hitting the rocks one by one, and the splashing sea water was about one or two meters high.

"quick!"

"Be prepared. Take the time to fish this wave of tide. I estimate that if it is later, the current will be bigger and the wind will be stronger. It will be very difficult to get close to these islands and reefs."

Zhao Dahai took out his fishing rod as he spoke. The wind and waves were not special. A large speedboat could get close to the reef and directly use traditional floating shrimp to catch sea bass or fish, which was more efficient.

Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua have rich experience, especially Gao Zhicheng is simply a direct fisherman, and quickly prepared his own fishing rod.

Zhao Dahai had already seen clearly that the entrance was blocked by two familiar speedboats at the best location, and he couldn't go there, so he could only choose other reefs.

"Come!"

"Try to see what the sea bass looks like today."

The speedboat driven by Zhao Dahai approached a reef, about one meter away. He controlled the speedboat with his left hand and threw the fishing rod held in his right hand, and then fell into the sea next to a reef.

Zhao Dahai waited for a while, the lead pendant kept falling down without any movement.

Where did the sea bass go today? Do you think you are full already? Or is there no reef at all?

Zhao Dahai or the right wrist of the fishing rod lightly lifted it, and then lowered it, repeating the action several times.

No movement!

Something is wrong!

Sea bass fishing on islands and reefs with waves and currents has very distinctive characteristics. Once there are fish, the bite will be very fierce.

No bite most likely means no fish.

Zhao Dahai immediately reeled in the line, tasted the live shrimp on the hook, and it was jumping around. Without any problems, he immediately continued to throw the rod. This time, he did not throw it to the edge of the reef, but directly to the foam area formed between several rocks.

Zhao Dahai lifted the pole, the lead pendant did not touch the bottom, and the live shrimp floated in the sea for about five or six minutes without any movement.

"Close the pole!"

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly to Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua and Gao Zhicheng to put away their poles, and left the rock in a speedboat.

"Does it mean the tide hasn't arrived yet?"

…

"Why are there no sea bass today?"

…

"ha!"

"Zhao Dahai said yesterday that there is a high possibility that there will be no fish today. Is it true?"

…

Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin put away their fishing rods. Zhao Dahai said yesterday that there is a high possibility that there will be no fish today.

Gao Zhicheng said nothing and looked at Zhao Dahai.

I really don’t know if there are sea bass today, but I can be 100% sure that the sea bass are not in the foam area or close to the reef.

Zhao Dahai is really very experienced and made a quick judgment. People who can catch so many fish definitely have their own uniqueness.

Gao Zhicheng has been fishing professionally for more than 20 years. He has gone fishing with many boat owners. The youngest one is Zhao Dahai. But judging from this matter, Zhao Dahai is very experienced and his response is really fast. .

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat away from the island and reef and stopped on the relatively calm sponge. He was not in a hurry to continue fishing immediately. He carefully observed the other speedboats around him and immediately discovered that these speedboats were all fishing in the foam area or on the edge of the reef. I caught fish, but not many fish were caught, and they were all relatively small.

Where are the sea bass today?

There must be sea bass in places like islands and reefs, maybe a little less in number, but it's impossible not to have them.

With so many speedboats around, the size and quantity of sea bass caught in almost half an hour were obviously small and few.

Zhao Dahai thought of the sea bass and horsetail he once caught in the flowing water here. You can't see any running water on the sea now, but to know a route yourself, one is engraved in your mind, and the other is from fish finder and navigation.

As soon as I got out of the sea, I decided to give it a try to see if sea bass were in a place like this.

"Bosses!"

"Hanging shrimp! Big and energetic!"

"Gai Liu!"

“Let’s try to see if we can catch big sea bass, or even hooker fish!”

Zhao Dahai fished a live shrimp as big as two fingers in the live cabin, carefully hung it on the shrimp gun, and kept it in the live cabin. After checking that Wu Weimin and others were ready, he immediately drove the speedboat to the southeast. passed.

Gao Zhicheng saw the speedboat driving forward for more than a hundred meters, turned the bow, and headed towards the reef again.

Is it a leak?

Is it possible to build a flow in a place like this?

Where did it flow?

Aren't you afraid of hitting the rocks?

Gao Zhicheng immediately understood what Zhao Dahai wanted to do, but his expression immediately became very serious.

There are basically two ways to catch sea bass. One is fishing on the islands and reefs just now and fishing in the foam area. This is fixed-point fishing or anchor fishing. The other is the cover current that Zhao Dahai uses now. The speedboat floats downwards along the tide. .

However, it is very dangerous to fish for sea bass in the reef area and the current in the reef area.

If it were just a reef on the seabed, it would not be a big problem. After all, the reef is far away from the water surface and the water is relatively deep, so it is basically not easy to hit the bottom. But this is an island and reef area with reefs exposed above the sea.

Even if you are very familiar with the environment here and know where there are rocks, it is still very easy to hit the bottom. The most important thing is that the speedboat will be affected by wind, waves and currents while driving. It is very likely that a big wave will hit the speedboat and the speedboat will deviate from the route. Hit the rock hard.

There are so many speedboats fishing for sea bass around, but they all stick to the edges of the rocks and foam areas.

Could it be that they don’t know that there are no sea bass or very few fish on the reef edges and foam areas?

Don’t they know that cover currents can have a greater probability of catching sea bass, especially large sea bass?

The boat owners of these speedboats all have very rich fishing experience. It's not that they don't know, they just don't want to take such a risk. The boss of the speedboat that took others fishing has already collected the money, so there is no need to take such a risk. Once the boat hits a rock or a fisherman falls into the sea, it can be a serious matter that can lead to loss of money and lives.

Are talented people bold?

Or maybe he's just stupid! ?

Gao Zhicheng couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and immediately cheered up.

"put!"

"Twenty meters of water!"

Zhao Dahai shouted loudly towards Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin.

Gao Zhicheng, Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin were already prepared. The three of them stood beside the speedboat. They immediately picked up the shrimps that had been hung in the live cabin, put them down from the side of the speedboat and placed them in the water layer.

"Twenty-three meters!"

…

"Twenty-five meters!"

…

"Eighteen meters!"

"quick!"

"Retract the line!"

…

Zhao Dahai concentrated his attention. The speedboat was now traveling through the island and reef area. The large and small light or dark rocks were either exposed or submerged in the water, so he had to be careful.

Gao Zhicheng was very surprised.

Is there any use in doing this?

So useful!

However, this is too dangerous.

In the island and reef waters, the visible rocks are very scary, but the rocks one to two meters below the water surface are even more terrifying. Not only must you be familiar with the terrain here, but also very important is the ability to control a speedboat. Knowing this is very important. There are no exposed or hidden reefs that can be avoided.

Zhao Dahai is undoubtedly a master.

What was even more astonishing was that Zhao Dahai kept reminding himself, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua of the depth of setting and taking in the line. The speedboat entered the reef area and traveled 50 to 60 meters, but none of them bottomed out.

Wu Weimin listened to Zhao Dahai's shout, and stared at the fishing rod in his hand. At first, there was no movement, but as the speedboat moved forward, it swayed up and down or left and right.

Wu Weimin did not dare to be careless at all. His eyes widened and he did not blink. The tip of the fishing rod suddenly stopped moving, and then he pulled it down.

Wu Weimin raised his hand to raise the fishing rod, and the tip of the fishing rod bent downwards.

"middle!"

"ha!"

"big!"

"Ten pounds!"

Wu Weimin roared.

"Hurry up and close the line!"

“The sea bass are coming up!”

…

"Lower the pole!"

"Don't let the perch wash your gills!"

…

Zhao Dahai slowed down the speed of the speedboat and adjusted the direction of the bow to make space convenient for Wu Weimin to reel in the fish.

"middle!"

"I'm hit!"

"Big!"

"It's the same big one!"

Lin Zuhua yelled while shaking the spinning wheel and quickly reeling in the thread. This is an island and reef, and there are rocks everywhere. Quickly reel it in to avoid breaking the thread and running away fish.

Zhao Dahai immediately controlled the speedboat and almost stopped motionless.

Both Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua caught sea bass, which proved that there is a school of sea bass under the current position of the speedboat.

When Gao Zhicheng saw Lin Zuhua and Wu Weimin catching fish one after another, he immediately cheered up and gently lifted the fishing rod in his hand. He paused for about half a meter. Five or six seconds passed. , slowly lowered it down, and then slowly lowered it halfway down, the fishing line was pulled forward fiercely.

"ha!"

"Sea bass!"

"Twenty pounds!"

Gao Zhicheng suddenly became excited. He raised the bowed fishing rod and tightened the five or six meters of line. He immediately lowered the rod tip. In less than a minute, a one-meter-long sea bass was pulled to the surface of the water.

Gao Zhicheng held the fishing rod in his left hand, controlled the fish, and pulled it to the side of the speedboat. He reached into the sea with the net in his right hand, grabbed the fish and carried it onto the deck. He raised his head and was about to say that the sea bass here are really big. I saw Zhao Dahai hanging live shrimps, and a sea bass weighing 17 or 18 pounds was lying on the deck at his feet.

Dry!

Are your hands and feet so fast?

Gao Zhicheng was shocked. When he caught the fish, Zhao Dahai had not caught the fish yet, but now he pulled one on board, picked the fish and was hanging the bait.

Gao Zhicheng is very aware that his speed of pulling fish is not ordinary. The experience accumulated over many years of professional fishing is no joke. Now it seems that Zhao Dahai is even faster.

Something!

A person who uses two poles to catch two hundred kilograms of yellow chicken is really not kidding!

My hands and feet are too fast!

Gao Zhicheng had to be convinced.

Zhao Dahai hung up the live shrimp, lowered it beside the speedboat, and lowered it directly into the water to a depth of 18 meters. However, when it just reached 10 meters, the rod bent without any warning.

"quick!"

"Change the wire leader!"

Zhao Dahai's expression changed and he turned around and yelled at Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua.

Asking for a monthly ticket! Thanks!
