Chapter 881: Even Hanging Must Take a Breath
"Ha!"
"Black croaker!"
...
"Yo!"
"Zhao Dahai, you are right! It is indeed a croaker!"
...
"It is really big!"
"30 jin!"
"This fish is definitely 30 jin!"
...
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou can see clearly with the light of the speedboat that the fish pulled out of the sea are indeed croakers and more valuable black croakers. Each one is quite big, weighing 30 jin.
"Hurry!"
"Hurry up! There are 20-30 kg croakers in the water depth of about 130 meters under the speedboat!"
"Don't use a five-hook string, just a two-hook string is enough!"
"Take off the bait cage! Hang live shrimp directly."
When Zhao Dahai saw that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou caught croakers weighing about 30 kg, he immediately shouted to change the fishing gear. For fish of this size, only two hooks are enough.
When fishing, the longer the string, the better, and the more hooks, the better. It has to be changed according to different situations.
If it is a small fish, such as a black sea bream or yellow chicken weighing two or three kg or four or five kg, it is definitely more efficient to use a five-hook string, but for a fish weighing 20-30 kg, it is a bit wasteful to use five hooks. There are too many hooks, and it is easy to get tangled under the water in the sea, and it is more troublesome to hang the bait.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou took the fish off the hook, took a pair of scissors, cut off five hooks, and tied two new hooks.
Xu Tianhua and Wu Guodong did not come to fish, and when they saw this situation, they immediately changed the hooks.
Zhao Dahai was faster, and while talking to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and others, he changed the fishing gear.
Zhao Dahai hung a live shrimp on the hook, stood by the speedboat and put it directly into the water layer, shook it gently a few times, and immediately a fish bit the hook, the rod bent down all of a sudden, and the line was tight.
Zhao Dahai did not rush to reel in the line immediately, but waited for ten seconds, and then there was another obvious bite, and the rod paused heavily and bent even more.
Zhao Dahai pushed the electric winch's line switch hard, and shouted loudly to remind Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, Xu Tianhua, and Wu Guodong that they didn't need to reel in the line immediately after a fish was hooked. They should wait for ten seconds or so and wait until there was no fish to bite before reeling in the line.
After nightfall, the entire sea was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The lights of the speedboat were as white as day, but they could only illuminate the surrounding area of 5 or 6 meters.
The vast sea was like a pearl, very conspicuous.
Groups of small fish began to gather on the surrounding water.
At first, they were just scattered, but after only half an hour, the sea surface around the speedboat was full of small fish. You could only see the fish but not the sea water. You could catch a thousand or several hundred kilograms with a random scoop net.
Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, Xu Tianhua and Wu Guodong ignored the small fish on the water. The electric reels in front of each person were spinning crazily, constantly pulling up one after another 20-kg or even 30-kg croakers from the sea. It didn't take long for the entire speedboat deck to be covered with a layer of croakers. Zhao Dahai looked at Xu Tianhua and Wu Guodong, who were already panting heavily. Don't think they were just fishing with electric reels, but these fish were all big. It really didn't take much effort to fish them up from the bottom of the sea, but they had to use a scoop net to scoop them up when they came out of the water. If there weren't too many fish and they could rest in the middle, it wouldn't be tiring. But now the speedboat was right above the school of fish, and they fished one after another without taking a break for almost three hours, which was really tiring. Zhao Dahai looked at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou again, sweating profusely. Their bodies were indeed much better than Xu Tianhua and Wu Guodong, but fishing like this was definitely tiring. Zhao Dahai called out to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou, and they all stopped to take a break. There are indeed fish in the sea, but even if you hang yourself, you have to take a breath. If you keep fishing like this, even a man of steel can't bear it.
Xu Tianhua and Wu Guodong were stunned when they heard Zhao Dahai's call. They caught a lot of fish, and all of them were croakers weighing 20 to 30 kilograms. They were very happy and excited, and had forgotten how long they had been fishing.
Zhao Dahai shouted, and suddenly realized that they were really tired, and very tired.
"Yo!"
"I can't even lift my hands anymore!"
...
"Ah!"
"Have we caught so many fish?"
"Hey!"
"No more fishing! No more fishing!"
...
Xu Tianhua and Wu Guodong didn't care that the speedboat deck was wet and there were big croakers at their feet. They sat down and gasped.
"Ha!"
"People who go out to sea to fish, people who go out to sea to fish, what they fear is that there are no fish in the sea. Now there are too many fish to catch, so why would they care whether they are tired or not?"
As Zhong Shizhu spoke, he picked up the fish pulled to the surface with a scoop net. Don't look at it as a string of two hooks, but almost every trip pulls up two fish, which is fifty or sixty kilograms at a time. This is really not a joke. The market price of this size of croaker is two or three hundred yuan per kilogram, and one fish can be sold for 18,000 yuan. A bigger one can even be sold for nearly 20,000 yuan.
Zhao Dahai saw that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou still wanted to continue fishing and didn't want to rest, so he stopped them immediately.
"Uncle Shizhu!"
"Take a break, take a break, it's not just one or two hours of fishing, we have to fish all night and until dawn!"
Zhao Dahai knew very well that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou wanted to seize the time to keep fishing and catch more fish, but now the fish school on the seabed is very large, even if they keep fishing until dawn, they can't stop. People are really not made of iron and can't work like this.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and He Lei Dayou stopped at this time to drink water and smoke.
Zhao Dahai waited for Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to rest for half an hour, drink water, smoke cigarettes, and even eat something before continuing to fish. However, he reminded them not to rush and not to think about catching a lot of fish at once. If they fished quickly, they would not be able to fish for a long time. It was like working in the field. If they wanted to work longer, they had to slow down.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Dayou had rich experience in fishing. Zhao Dahai immediately understood that they really couldn't fish quickly. At the beginning, it seemed that they could catch more fish, but they couldn't work for a long time. If they calculated it, it would definitely not be worth it. Now it was not fishing for sea bass, so there was really no need to work hard.
"If the speedboat knew we caught so many croakers here, it would regret it!"
...
"No wonder they didn't want to leave just now."
"The fish school in the sea was probably quite large at that time, and the bite was quite fierce!"
...
"Ha!"
"The fish school is even larger now, and the bite is even fiercer!"
...
Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin slowed down, and suddenly had time to talk. They smoked when they wanted to smoke, and drank water when they wanted to drink water, so they wouldn't be too tired.
Zhao Dahai nodded when he saw this. He was indeed an experienced person. He adjusted himself immediately. Otherwise, it would be impossible to fish all night until dawn.
Wu Guodong and Xu Tianhua were more casual, fishing one fish at a time.
"That's right!"
"Captain Zhao!"
"From this point of view, the place where we are fishing now is very likely a fixed point where croakers gather!"
Xu Tianhua lit a cigarette in his mouth.
Zhao Dahai and his people have been fishing here for three hours. They have been fishing non-stop. The fish school has not decreased at all, and the fish bite has not been affected. With many years of fishing experience, the only possibility is that this is where the big croakers gather. Zhao Dahai picked up a fish with a scoop net and nodded when he heard Xu Tianhua's words. Now the spot under the speedboat is 100% a gathering point for croakers. We caught so many fish here this time, and we can still catch them next time, but we may not catch so many. "Boss Xu! Boss Wu!" "Next time we come here to fish, we must come here to catch big croakers. We can even consider not fishing for sea bass in the island reef foam area!" Zhao Dahai is not joking. He has been to the artificial islands and reefs so many times, and he has never found such a spot. The price of croakers of this size is much more valuable than sea bass of the same size. If the time is the same, I will definitely choose to fish for croaker here instead of fishing for sea bass in the island reef foam area, especially if the size of the sea bass in the island reef foam area is not too big and the fish school is not too big, there is no need to stay there. If the sea bass is suitable, you can directly come to the artificial island reef to catch croaker.
Zhao Dahai is just an idea now. Next, he still has to see if he can catch a lot of croakers here every time after making more trips.
"Ha!"
"Captain Zhao!"
"Why do I always feel that there are too many fish in the sea."
"You are already a little tired of fishing?"
Wu Guodong took a look at the two very fat croakers that were pulled out of the water, each weighing 30 kilograms. He was not in a hurry to scoop the fish. At the beginning, he was very excited when he caught such a big croaker. He was worried that it would run away and immediately took the scoop net or the big iron hook. Now he has caught too many fish and is a little numb. He doesn't care. If it runs away, it runs away. He doesn't care at all.
Wu Guodong was not kidding. He really felt that there were too many fish in the sea. Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da were too busy to catch them all.
"Yes, yes!"
"It really feels like that!"
"You can catch a lot of sea bass in the island reef foam area. You can sell them at a good price and make a lot of money!"
"Another big croaker fishing spot was found. So, are we fishing for big sea bass or just croaker?"
"This is really a headache!"
Liu Bin patted his forehead. In the past, when he went fishing with Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou, he never thought that there were so many fish in the sea. Now, when he went fishing with Zhao Dahai and worked for Zhao Dahai, he suddenly found that the sea was full of fish.
Every time he went out to sea, he caught a lot of fish.
In the island and reef foam area, he could catch four or five thousand kilograms of sea bass at once.
Tonight, he fished for croakers in the artificial island and reef, and all of them were 20 to 30 kilograms. He, Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Lei Da and several others have caught no less than 3,000 kilograms of croakers. If they continue to fish like this, they will catch another 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms of croakers by dawn.
When did there become so many fish in the sea?
Zhao Dahai’s headache now is not that he can’t catch fish, but that he has to think about whether he should go to the island and reef foam area to fish when he goes out to sea, or come directly to the artificial island and reef to catch croakers.
Why had I never found this when I went fishing with Zhong Shizhu, Lei Da and a few others before?
"Ha!"
"Liu Bin."
"What's there to say?"
"Other speedboats or other fishing boats that went out to sea didn't have such a good harvest!"
Wu Guodong smiled and shook his head.
Liu Bin felt this way because he and his people were fishing with Zhao Dahai's speedboat. If they were fishing by themselves, they would still be able to catch fish weighing 100 to 80 kilograms as usual. It would be good. It was impossible to catch so many fish like now.
"Ha!"
"Liu Bin!"
"What are you thinking about?"
"Without Zhao Dahai, could you catch so many fish?"
"There are so many speedboats in the island and reef foam area. How many of them can really catch a lot of fish when fishing for sea bass there?"
Lei Dayou first scooped up a fish with his scoop net, and then scooped up another fish and dragged it onto the deck with both hands. The two fish weighed no less than 60 jin, and if they were 300 yuan per jin, that would be 20,000 yuan.
Did they catch so many fish?
This was all Zhao Dahai's skill!
They didn't need to do anything at all. Zhao Dahai said to fish, and he fished when and how he said to fish.
If they went fishing alone, they wouldn't be able to catch the northwest wind.
Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, Xu Tianhua and Wu Guodong were fishing while talking. Time passed quickly, and it was almost five o'clock in the morning in the blink of an eye.
Foggy?
Zhao Dahai was fishing while paying attention to the surrounding sea surface, and he immediately found that there was fog on the sea surface.
