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

"Tu tu tu tu!"

…

"Tu tu tu tu!"

…

Zhao Dahai was driving the fishing boat. The sun was setting like a knife, and he couldn't open his eyes. It had been 20 minutes, and he had changed to more than 20 places today, but he couldn't catch fish. He wanted to stop, but he didn't know where to stop. Fortunately, I use a diesel engine. If it is a speedboat with a gasoline engine, I will pay hundreds of dollars if I don’t make money today. There is only one possibility for this situation now. There are no fish in the sea these few days, and it is useless to change anywhere.

Zhao Dahai had a cold war, woke up immediately, closed the gas pedal, the speed of the fishing boat slowed down, glanced at no fishing boats around, his heart skipped a beat, looked carefully for a while, and remembered what this place was, Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Dahai wiped the cold sweat that came out of his forehead. Just now, he had been thinking about where he could go fishing, and he drove further away without knowing it. Fortunately, he recovered quickly, or who knows what he drove to? Places, the most feared thing on the sea is the unfamiliar sea area, and the most feared thing is getting lost.

Zhao Dahai drank a few sips of water, rested for more than ten minutes, calmed down completely, and saw clearly where he was in a familiar sea area before he started fishing again.

Zhao Dahai put all his energy into it. This kind of mistake must never be repeated. The seemingly calm sea may kill him at any time.

Zhao Dahai drove in the direction of the pier for more than ten minutes. He remembered that he followed his father to this place when he was young. If I remember correctly, the bottom of this place is full of sand, which is the favorite place for sandfish.

Zhao Dahai patted himself on the head vigorously. He couldn't catch black sea bream by shaking his stake these days, and he kept thinking about catching other fish.

Zhao Dahai caught a small mud shrimp in the live cabin. If you are fishing for black sea bream, you can hang the whole shrimp, but fishing for sand pointed fish is not allowed. I peeled off the shell of the shrimp and pinched a piece of shrimp meat as big as the head of a chopstick and hung it on the fish tank. hook and cast it into the sea.

Are there sand pointed fish?

Zhao Dahai was a little nervous. He held the fishing rod tightly and tightened the fishing line when it reached the bottom. After waiting for a while, there was no movement. He gently dragged it. When a fish took the bait, he immediately raised the rod and took in the line, one at a time. Finger-sized sand tip fish pull out of the water.

Sand point fish is a common fish along the coast. In some places it is called "sand tip fish". There are many species. Some are not very big, only a little bigger than chopsticks. The most common ones are about the size of an adult's thumb, about twenty or thirty years old. Some species can grow relatively large in places with water depth of 1 meter, with "horn tips" as big as two or even three fingers. The fish body is spindle-shaped, the mouth is small and has scales, and there is only one big thorn in the middle without small thorns. The meat is firm, tender and smooth. Eat, the big ones are valuable, the "corner tips" as big as two to three fingers can be sold for 70 or 80 yuan per catty, and more than 100 yuan is not a big deal during the holidays. This is still talking about the chilled large ship goods, small ship goods, especially fishing. Fish from the mouth are a bit more expensive.

Zhao Dahai grabbed his hand and smiled. There were indeed sand pointed fish, and there were quite a lot of them. How could they not have taken the bait so quickly? They are not big and have big little fingers. This is a common species. Generally, it can only grow as big as a thumb, but there are fish It's a good thing. It's good to have a bicycle. Don't always think about motorcycles.

Zhao Dahai tried a few more poles and caught fish every time. Unfortunately, the sun was setting and it would get dark in less than an hour. He was a fishing boat, unlike a fishing boat that put out nets. It was more dangerous at night, so he could only collect fish. Go home and come back tomorrow.

The fishing village becomes quiet at night. People who have worked all day, especially those who have to continue working tomorrow, go to bed early. Only children or the elderly will go out for a walk or enjoy the shade in the village sunbathing area.

Zhao Dahai rode his motorcycle and stopped at the door of the yard. He opened the door, pushed in and parked in the corner.

I am going to catch sand pointed fish tomorrow. I have to use a special fishing rig to catch the most fish in the shortest time. Last time I bought some hooks and the like in the town, but one thing was missing. I had no choice. I went back to the dock and went home immediately. He rushed to the town on his motorcycle, sharpening his knife and chopping firewood. He couldn't bear to let his children catch the wolf. If he wanted to catch more sand pointed fish, he couldn't save the money he had to spend.

Zhao Dahai hurriedly ate dinner and began to prepare.

I bought a lot of things at the fishing tackle shop in town, mainly two things. One is sea centipedes, mud shrimps or other shrimps that can be used to catch other fish, but they are not particularly suitable for catching sand pointed fish and are not efficient. I am anxious to get them tomorrow. If you don't have time to dig, you can only buy it, but it's not expensive. I spent fifty yuan to buy a lot, enough to last two or three days.

The other most important thing is the straight-shaped balance, which is a metal rod with rotating eight-shaped rings at both ends. There is a eight-shaped ring and a pin in the middle for hanging lead pendants.

If you want to have good yields when fishing for sand pointed fish, you have to tie several or even more than ten hooks on a line and arrange them in a string to form a string hook. Traditionally when fishing for sand pointed fish, you just need to add a lead pendant and a string hook and throw it out. Very easy to tangle together. A straight-shaped balance can greatly reduce the chance of tangling with long threads. If there is a better way, it must be used.

Stringing hooks is simple. You tie the hook and thread yourself. Tie a sub-thread on a main line, and then tie a hook on the sub-thread. The distance between the sub-threads is thirty centimeters. For children who grew up in a fishing village, this is a basic skill. Six years old is already proficient. You have to spend what you have to spend and save what you can. There are tied ones in the fishing tackle shop, so I didn’t buy them.

The mouth of the sand pointed fish is relatively small, so you need to use a small hook, size 5 is enough.

Zhao Dahai tied twenty string hooks in one go, three hooks in one string, more hooks are not necessary, too many hooks, bait hanging takes a lot of effort, and the string hooks that are too long are more likely to be entangled and take more time Tidy up or simply scrap it, use this time to pull twice more, catch a lot of fish, find a few palm-sized foam boards, tie the hooks carefully and hang them on, it will be convenient for tomorrow.

Zhao Dahai packed up his things, went to bed early, got up early the next day, had breakfast around four o'clock, and went out immediately. It was early when he arrived at the pier. Anchor, start the diesel engine, and drive forward with the stars that have not disappeared in the sky above the head. The water mist formed by the splashing sea water from the bow of the ship hits the face, making it cool. If you have a lot of time to fish, you must go early.

At the beginning, Zhao Dahai only drove one diesel engine. When he left the pier, the sea was open. With the two diesel engines together, the speed quickly increased. Along the way, he encountered many fishing boats, all of which went out to sea in the early morning to release fishing nets. Some fishing boats had a good harvest. One or two baskets contained fish, but most of them were not very good. There were not many fish in the nets that were piled up on the deck just after pulling them up.

It has been more than an hour since Zhao Dahai arrived at the place. It was not yet dawn, but he could barely see clearly. There was no wind and only a small wave. It was fine if the anchor was not dropped.

It took Zhao Dahai a lot of time to finally sink the anchor and scrape the bottom of the sea, and then he found the edge of the sandy land, stopped the fishing boat, and immediately started to catch sand tip fish.
