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 hook. A two-hook string hook is enough!"
"Take off the bait cage! Hang live shrimp directly."
When Zhao Dahai saw that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had caught 30 kg croakers, he immediately shouted to change the fishing gear. For fish of this size, only two hooks were needed.
When fishing, the longer the string hook, the better, and the more hooks, the better. It should be changed according to different situations.
If it is a small fish, such as a black porgy or yellow chicken of two or three kg or four or five kg, it is definitely more efficient to use a five-hook string hook. However, it is a bit wasteful to use a five-hook string hook for a fish of 20-30 kg. 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 new fishing gear.
Zhao Dahai hung 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 biting the hook 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 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 shout. 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 how can they care about whether they are tired or not?"
Zhong Shizhu said as 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 50 to 60 kilograms at a time. This is really not a joke. The market price of this size of croaker is 200 to 300 yuan per kilogram. One fish can be sold for 18,000 yuan, and 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, we are not just fishing for one or two hours, we are going to fish all night and until dawn!"
Zhao Dahai knew very well that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou wanted to catch more fish, but the fish school on the seabed was very large, even if they kept fishing until dawn, they couldn't stop. People are really not made of iron, and it's really hard to work like this.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and He Lei Dayou stopped 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, and even eat something, and then he continued fishing. However, he reminded them that they must not be impatient, and don't think about catching a lot of fish at once. If they fish quickly, they will definitely not be able to fish for a long time. This is like working in the field. If you want to work longer, you have to slow down.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Dayou have rich fishing experience. Zhao Dahai immediately understood that they really can't fish fast. At the beginning, it seems that you can catch more fish, but you can't work like this for a long time. If you calculate it, it is definitely not cost-effective. Now we are not fishing for sea bass, so there is really no need to work hard.
"If the speedboat just now knew that we caught so many croakers here, it would regret it so much!"
...
"No wonder they didn't want to leave just now."
"I guess the fish school in the sea at that time was already quite large, and the bite was quite fierce!"
...
"Ha!"
"The fish school at this time is even larger, and the bite is even fiercer!"
...
Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin slowed down and 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 who adjusted himself immediately. Otherwise, he would never have been able to fish all night until dawn.
Wu Guodong and Xu Tianhua were even more casual, fishing fish here and there.
"Right!"
"Captain Zhao!"
"Looking at this, the place where we are fishing now is most likely a fixed point where a school of croaker fish gathers!"
Xu Tianhua lit a cigarette in his mouth.
Zhao Dahai and his people have been fishing here for three hours, and they have been fishing non-stop. The school of fish has not decreased at all, and the fish bites have not been affected. With many years of fishing experience, the only possibility is that this is where the big croaker fish gather.
Zhao Dahai picked up a fish with a scoop net, and nodded when he heard Xu Tianhua's words.
Now the point under the speedboat is 100% a gathering point for croaker fish.
We caught so many fish here this time, and we can still catch them next time we come here, but we may not catch so many.
"Boss Xu! Boss Wu!"
"Next time we come here to fish, we must come here to fish for big croakers. We can even consider not fishing for sea bass in the island reef foam area!"
Zhao Dahai was not kidding. He had been to the artificial island reef so many times, but he had never found a spot like this. The price of a croaker of this size is much more valuable than a sea bass of the same size. If the time is the same, he would definitely choose to fish for croakers 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, just come to the artificial island reef to fish for croakers.
Zhao Dahai is just an idea now. He still has to see if he can catch a lot of croakers every time he goes there.
"Ha!"
"Captain Zhao!"
"Why do I always feel that there are too many fish in the sea?"
"You are having a hard time catching them?"
Wu Guodong took a look at the two very fat croakers that were pulled out of the water, each weighing more than 30 kilograms. He was not in a hurry to scoop up the fish. When he first caught such a big croaker, he was very excited. He was worried that it would run away and he would immediately use a scoop net or a big iron hook. Now that he has caught so many fish, he is a little numb. He doesn't care about them at all. If they run away, they run 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 fish them all.
"That's right!"
"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, is it for sea bass or croaker?"
"This is really a headache!"
Liu Bin patted his forehead. In the past, when he went out to sea with Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou to fish, he never felt that there were so many fish in the sea. Now, when he went out to sea to fish 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.
Fishing for sea bass in the island reef foam area can catch four or five thousand kilograms at a time.
Tonight, I fished for croakers on the artificial islands and reefs, and all of them weighed 20 to 30 kilograms. I, Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Lei Da and a few others have caught no less than 3,000 kilograms of croakers. If we continue fishing like this, we will catch another 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms of croakers by dawn.
When did the sea have so many fish?
Zhao Dahai’s headache now is not that he can’t catch fish, but 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 go directly to the artificial islands and reefs to catch croakers.
Why did I, Zhong Shizhu, Lei Da and a few others never find this when I went out to sea to fish before?
“Ha!”
“Liu Bin.”
“What’s there to say?”
“Other speedboats or other fishing boats that go out to sea to fish don’t have such a good harvest!”
Wu Guodong smiled and shook his head.
Liu Bin felt this way, but it was just that Liu Bin and his people were now fishing with Zhao Dahai's speedboat. If they were to go fishing by themselves, they would still be able to catch fish weighing 100 to 80 kilograms as usual, and it would be good to catch so many fish as they are now.
"Ha!"
"Liu Bin!"
"What are you thinking about?"
"Without Zhao Dahai, could you have caught 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 kilograms, and at 300 yuan per kilogram, it would be 20,000 yuan.
Did they catch so many fish?
This is all Zhao Dahai's ability!
They didn't need to do anything. They just fished when Zhao Dahai said they would. They fished in whatever way and at whatever time Zhao Dahai said they would.
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. It was almost five o'clock in the morning.
Foggy?
Zhao Dahai was fishing while paying attention to the surrounding sea surface. He immediately noticed the fog on the sea surface.
