Chapter 1089 Missed It Again!
"Shipwreck location."
"One hundred and eighty-five meters deep."
"One hundred and eighty meters to hit the bottom."
Zhao Dahai was very familiar with Windmill Foot. He knew the location of each point here without looking at the fish finder navigation. The first one he tried was a small shipwreck location. Such a place is very complicated and very easy to get stuck on the bottom, but he knew this place very well. When the speedboat was parked, he immediately shouted to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and Lin Zuhua to hit the bottom to fish. It was inevitable that someone would get stuck on the bottom, but in most cases, at least three of the five people could successfully hit the bottom without getting stuck. If there were fish here, they would definitely bite the hook.
"Hang on the bottom!"
"It's really easy to get stuck in a place like a shipwreck."
Lin Zuhua hit the bottom first but immediately found that his hook was stuck on the seabed. He didn't pull it off abruptly, but shouted to Zhao Dahai a little helplessly. Now he was not fishing alone here. He had to wait for Zhao Dahai and Lei Dayou to finish hitting the bottom before he could pull the line off. Otherwise, it would be very likely to scare the fish in the sea.
"Fortune and honor are sought in danger."
"This is the point of fishing for a sunken ship. You either hit the bottom or you catch a fish. This is much easier to get stuck than fishing in a reef cave."
Zhao Dahai gently lifted the rod in his hand twice, and it did not move. This is exactly the same as Lin Zuhua, and it got stuck. Strong winds and waves, and the accelerated flow of seawater often cause the structure of such places to be greatly impacted and changed, which has a great impact. I thought there would not be too many people, only one or two in reality, but I didn't expect that two people had hit the bottom at once.
Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin were both stuck as soon as they hit the bottom. Only Lei Dayou didn't get stuck after hitting the bottom. He pulled it up twice and a fish bit the hook, but judging from the degree of bending of the rod, the fish was not big.
"Twenty jin!"
"This fish is at most twenty jin."
"If it's a red spot, it can still be worth a lot of money, but from this point of view, it shouldn't be a red spot. If it's a sesame spot, it's a blue spot. We can sell it for more money if it's a blue spot. If it's a sesame spot, this fish will be much cheaper."
Lei Dayou looked at the pole on the gun stand in front of him and shook his head. The fish was not big. Judging from the strength of the fish's struggle and the shaking of the pole, it was unlikely to be a red spot. It was most likely a sesame spot.
"Having fish is a good thing. How can you catch a big fish every day? Even if we caught a twenty-jin sesame spot with this pole, it's a good thing. Isn't today's fuel money already earned back part of it?"
Zhao Dahai was very calm. This is how it is when you go out to sea. Sometimes you can catch a lot of fish, and sometimes you can't really catch a few fish. Judging from the first fish today, it's not easy to catch fish here at Fengchejiao even if there are fish.
"Yes!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"This is our first time fishing today. Maybe we'll see fish bite in an hour or two later. The bite will be fierce."
Liu Bin was a little worried, but he didn't say it.
"Forget it."
"Why do you need to know or think so much? Shang Dahai, you have caught so many fish every time you go out to sea. It's normal to not catch fish once or twice. Let's catch as many as we can."
Lin Zuhua really thought that Zhao Dahai and his people had caught a lot of fish. It was not strange that they didn't catch any fish today. The bottom fishing line was pulled and tangled on the sheep's horns.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou all laughed at once. What he said was not wrong at all.
Zhao Dahai waited for a while, and the fish Lei Dayou caught was pulled out of the water. It was really a sesame spot weighing about 18 to 20 kilograms. It was really not too big.
Zhong Shizhu took the fish caught by the scoop net, carried it to the deck, took the pliers, removed the hook, checked that it was not bloated, and pushed it into the live tank.
Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat and broke the bottom line. He did not cast the rod again but drove the speedboat to another place. Once the sunken ship was on the bottom, especially after four people broke the bottom, the movement on the seabed was very loud, and the fish were frightened. There was no point in casting the rod again. The fish here would not bite the hook again in a short time.
The sun was about to set.
The light on the entire sea surface was getting darker and darker.
Zhao Dahai looked up at the sky and shouted to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to put away their fishing rods. Today's fishing was over. There was no need to go any further. It wasn't that they were tired, but the situation at Fengchejiao today was different from what they imagined. It wasn't that there were no fish, but there were really not many fish. The five people worked for most of the day, and the total amount of fish they caught was only 600 to 700 kilograms, and most of them were small and not very valuable sesame spots. There was not a single red spot, and there was not a single large blue spot.
"How long has it been since we caught so few fish? Why can't I remember which trip we went out to sea to catch so few fish?"
Zhong Shizhu put away his fishing rod and looked down at the live water tank at his feet. The lid was open and the fish inside could be seen clearly. It was really pitiful.
"Yes!"
"I really can't remember that every time we go out to sea, we only catch 600-700 kilograms of fish."
Lei Dayou frowned and thought carefully for a long time. He really couldn't remember when he had caught so few fish.
"What can we do? It's almost dark now. There are not many fish here today. Even if we fish until tomorrow morning, we won't get any good results. We might as well give up fishing."
Liu Bin was very helpless. He really caught too few fish today.
"It seems that no matter what the matter is, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Fishing is the same."
"We have caught a lot of fish recently. Even on those days when the fish in the sea didn't bite much, our speedboat caught a lot of fish. At least 3,000 to 5,000 kilograms."
"Today we caught 600 to 700 kilograms of fish. This is unbearable."
Zhao Dahai laughed.
Windmill Corner was obviously affected by the strong wind and waves, but this effect was not that there were a lot of fish, but that there were very few fish, or even if there were fish, they didn't bite.
No matter what, we can't catch many fish here today.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou have been fishing with me for the past few months and have caught a lot of fish. They have gradually become accustomed to having good catches and making a lot of money every time they go out to sea. Today, they caught 600 to 700 kilograms of fish, which is not a small amount, but it is much less than other times, and they can't accept it all at once.
"Zhong Shizhu!"
"It's true that we didn't catch many fish today, but didn't the other speedboats around us catch even less fish? From this point of view, today's harvest is actually very good."
Lin Zuhua thought it was a little funny. What Zhao Dahai said was actually not wrong. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were able to catch a lot of fish almost every time they went out to sea. At least they could catch two or three thousand kilograms of fish. Today they only caught a few hundred kilograms of grouper. They were very uncomfortable and felt that they caught too few fish and made too little money. However, there were really not many fish here at Fengchejiao today. The other speedboats caught even fewer fish, and most of them only caught one or two fish. In comparison, Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu actually caught a lot of fish.
Zhao Dahai watched Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou pack up their things, and immediately drove the speedboat away from Fengchejiao and rushed back to the big fishing boat.
"Ah?"
"How come we only caught so few fish today?"
Ding Dawen watched Zhao Dahai's speedboat come back and immediately called people to come over to work. Unexpectedly, they finished the work in less than half an hour. He was very surprised. He scratched the back of his head in disbelief and looked at the live water tank of the speedboat with wide eyes. It was empty. There was really no fish.
"Ha!"
"Boss Lin! Zhao Dahai!"
"Look, look! It's not just us who think we caught fewer fish today. Doesn't Ding Dawen think we caught too few fish?"
Liu Bin said as he climbed onto the fishing boat along the ladder.
Ding Dawen's eyes widened as he really couldn't believe that he and his men had only caught so many fish in a whole day out at sea. He even thought about getting on the speedboat to check if he was kidding.
"Brother Dawen."
"Today, there are really only a few fish reefs. The water flow there is not good, and there is not much rain. We went there to take a look and then left the windmill foot where we were heading. Unexpectedly, the fish there did not bite much today."
"We really only caught this little fish in the whole day."
Zhao Dahai went up to the deck of the fishing boat and saw a large foam box at once. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it. This is a box for fish. It is very normal to have such things on a fishing boat, but he soon realized that something was wrong. This box is very large. The key is that this fishing boat usually does not have other fish coming. It is only useful for people like us who come back from fishing.
"Brother Dawen."
"Why is there such a big box here? What's inside it?"
Zhao Dahai pointed to the big box on the deck.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou saw that there was really a big box. This was a box specially prepared to hold big fish. Generally speaking, it is placed in the cabin, but now it is placed on the deck of the fishing boat.
Lin Zuhua boarded the fishing boat and didn't notice the big box on the deck. He immediately walked towards the cab. But when Zhao Dahai said that, he immediately turned around and took a look. He felt a little uneasy.
"Ding Dawen."
"What on earth is this?"
Lin Zuhua felt more and more uneasy. Such a big box on the deck must be used to hold fish. For fish of normal size, such a big box is not enough. There is no need to waste it. If it is really used to hold fish, it can only hold a big fish. But this box is more than two meters long. If it is really used to hold a fish, it must be a real big fish.
"Boss Lin."
"You just went fishing with Zhao Dahai's speedboat this morning. Don't I have nothing to do?"
"Just cast a fishing rod to kill time."
"A few days ago, I saw you and my uncle fishing with the drifting method. I tried it. I didn't expect that a fish would bite the hook just after casting the rod. It was a big fish. It took half a day to catch it. Now it is in this box?"
Ding Dawen felt a little embarrassed.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou looked at each other. They all heard that Ding Dawen meant that he had caught a big fish, and it was a mackerel.
"No way? How is that possible?"
"Is there really a big mackerel in it?"
...
"Ding Dawen's luck can't be that good?"
...
"So many of us went out to sea today and worked hard for a whole day but didn't catch many fish! Ding Dawen stayed on this fishing boat, and he caught a big mackerel with just a few handfuls of sugarcane?"
...
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou didn't dare to believe what Ding Dawen meant.
Zhao Dahai strode over, opened the box and wiped off the ice on it, revealing the fish underneath.
"Shit!"
"It's really a mackerel."
"It's really big!"
Zhao Dahai looked very strange. Ding Dawen not only caught a big mackerel, but the size of this mackerel was really big. He had caught big mackerels before, but it didn't seem to be much different.
"Wow!"
"This mackerel must be nearly two meters long, right?"
...
"Big!"
"It's really big!"
...
"The one Ding Chongshan caught can't compare to this one, right?"
...
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou gathered around and looked at the huge mackerel in the alley. They couldn't believe their eyes.
Lin Zuhua walked to the box step by step and looked down. There was really a mackerel in it, and it was really a huge mackerel. It looked like it was very likely to be bigger and heavier than the one Ding Chongshan caught.
"How is it possible?"
"How could such a thing happen? Why did I miss such a big mackerel when I was only fishing for a day?"
Lin Zuhua really couldn't figure out what happened.
The last time he came here to fish with Ding Chongshan, the two of them fished for a long time without any fish biting the hook. When Zhao Dahai said so, Ding Chongshan immediately let out the line and caught a huge mackerel. He was very dissatisfied and went back for only half a day. He immediately came here to fish again, but he also wanted to go to Fengchejiao to catch big grouper. As a result, Ding Dawen caught a mackerel here casually, and it was very big, which was exactly the fish he wanted to catch here.
Lin Zuhua's mind was blank, and he didn't know what to think or say for a while.
