Chapter 223 A Giant Fish that Rides All over the Place!
noon.
The sun hangs in the sky.
Zhao Dahai drove a speedboat to a new fishing spot.
"ah?"
"The sea! Isn't this the place where you only come to fish for grouper before a typhoon comes?"
Zhao Shi smoked a hookah, exhaled thick smoke, and immediately recognized where it was.
Zhao Dahai nodded. This was the place where he and Zhong Shizhu caught a lot of groupers before the typhoon some time ago and made a lot of money.
"Second Grandpa!"
"I know that there are not many people fishing here usually. Usually people come here only when there is strong water flow before a typhoon. But this does not mean that there are no fish here, it is just that it is more difficult to fish."
Zhao Dahai knew that it was not that there were no fish here. Zhong Shizhu and the others had said that the seabed here was very complicated, with too many rocks and especially rotten fishing nets. If you didn’t fish here all year round, you couldn’t figure it out clearly. The hook might get stuck, so it was better to go somewhere else. Now that I have bought a new speedboat with a fish detection radar, it is worth trying here to see if there is any chance.
Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry to fish right away. The entire reef area here was very large. He drove a speedboat and drove down different routes from top to bottom.
Zhao Dahai spent two or three hours to understand part of the entire reef and found several places with relatively deep water and complex structures.
Zhao Dahai took a rest. Relying on his own memory, the speedboat followed the route where Zhong Shizhu and others came here to catch big groupers on the last trip. He repeated it five or six times and found that great changes had taken place. Not only Only the depth of the seawater has changed a lot. The key is that the structure shown on the fish detector has changed a lot.
“No wonder there are fewer people fishing here usually!”
Zhao Dahai shook his head. The structure of the seabed here has changed too much and is very unstable. The hook may be hooked. The key is that if it is not hooked today, it may be hooked tomorrow. Every time I come here, I have to start anew and explore again. Point, re-finding where the fish is is too time-consuming and a lot of gas money will be wasted.
"The sea!"
"How about it?"
"If we can't catch anything, shall we find another place or just go home? Anyway, we made a lot of money today!"
Zhao Shi squatted on the deck, holding the hookah in his hand. Zhao Dahai spent three hours looking for places and routes where he could catch fish, frowning all the time. There is no suitable place.
Zhao Shi glanced at the two 225-horsepower engines at the back of the speedboat. They had been running non-stop for two or three hours and burned a lot of gasoline. These were all costs.
"Second Grandpa."
"The seabed structure here changes too quickly and too much, so it's not easy to catch big fish."
"However, I just saw a school of fish in a place. They are not big, but there are quite a lot of them."
"Try to see if you can catch it."
Zhao Dahai thought for a while and decided to catch small fish. Two hours ago, when he saw the signal of the fish detecting the fish school, he marked it. Now he opened the mark point, drove the speedboat over, and looked at the position and position of the fishing boat on the screen. The landmark points were getting closer and closer, and when there were about ten left, we slowed down and didn't stop until they coincided.
"This thing is really useful!"
Zhao Dahai is becoming more and more handy. The fish detection radar navigation on the speedboat is really useful. No matter where he passes, as long as there is a structure, especially where there are fish schools, he will click on it and write it down. You might be able to use it next time you go out to sea, so you don’t have to remember it in your head. This is really convenient.
Zhao Dahai looked at the fish detector carefully and saw that the signals of fish schools were very dense.
"Second Grandpa!"
"Eighty meters of water."
“The fish are not big.”
"Go straight to the string hook and electric winch!"
As Zhao Dahai talked, he wanted to give Zhao Shi the electric winch and fishing rod.
"snort!"
"I'm not used to things like this!"
Zhao Shi refused to use the electric winch and took the lead weight and scale to start tying the fishing group.
Zhao Dahai didn't force it. People of Zhao Shi's age were really not used to using electric winches. It wasn't that they didn't know how to use it, but they just weren't used to it. Even spinning wheels weren't used to it.
Zhao Dahai thought for a while and did not use the electric winch immediately. Instead, he used his own hand spinning wheel. The fish detector could see that there were fish on the bottom of the sea, but he did not know what kind of fish they were, especially whether they would bite the hook. , try the hand crank first, if fish bite the hook, especially when the fish opening is strong, then use the electric winch.
Zhao Dahai tied the bait cage, the lead pendant and the string hooks. The Antarctic shrimp bricks had been thawed on the way there and were ready for use. The bait cage was filled with Antarctic shrimps and five string hooks. Two hooks are hung with shrimp meat, and the other three hooks are hung with sea centipedes. Try the first rod first to see what kind of fish are in the sea, and at the same time try out what bait you like.
"Second Grandpa!"
"What kind of fish came from?"
When Zhao Dahai's line group was just put into the sea and the line was lowered, Zhao Shi moved quickly and was already reeling in the line to attract fish.
"Panzi!"
"It's a good size! I can sell it for some money!"
While Zhao Shi was reeling in the line, he stared at the sea water. A long string of fish was pulled up from the sea precariously, and he recognized Panzi at a glance.
"Yo!"
"This guy is pretty good-sized!"
Zhao Dahai was a little disappointed, but he didn't particularly care. Panzi is not a valuable fish, but these one-pound ones just caught are very delicious.
"ha!"
"Second Grandpa!"
"We can make money if we put in a little effort and work hard and catch one or two hundred pounds!"
Zhao Dahai said while speeding up the speed of setting out the line, and put it directly at 80 meters, shaking it up and down a few times, immediately a fish was hooked, and continued to shake it in no hurry. After waiting for five or six minutes, the line was pulled up when there was no fish biting its mouth. When I stayed on the water surface, I saw that there were fish on three hooks, but no fish on the other two hooks. The hook with fish was hanging a sea centipede.
While picking fish and throwing them into the live cabin, Zhao Dahai asked the second grandfather Zhao Shicai what kind of bait he used, and it was also sea centipede. He knew that Panzai here didn't like shrimp, but sea centipede.
Zhao Dahai hung all the sea centipedes on his hooks and tried several more poles. Each pole was filled with a string of five pans.
Zhao Dahai immediately changed the fishing rods and directly turned on the electric winch. Just now, these rods caught fish in a very short period of time after they were lowered. Speed, very suitable for use at this time.
Zhao Dahai immediately installed two poles with electric reels and locked them directly on the fort. One was in front of him, and the other was at the opposite fishing position behind him. In this way, one person could control two poles.
Zhao Dahai was quick with his hands and feet, and within a few minutes everything was installed. A sea centipede was hung on the hook, and one pole was put into the sea, and the other pole was immediately turned around.
Panzai is a small fish, you don’t need to control the line, you don’t need to control the fish, there is nothing like fighting fish, the string hook with bait, as soon as you arrive at the water city, bite the hook immediately, wait for two or three minutes, if you have time If you can lift the pole up and down, shake it a few times, more fish will be hooked. If you don’t have time to ignore it, if you see the tip of the pole shaking and bending down, there must be fish hooked. Push the switch, and the electric wheel will turn to take up the line. When the fish is pulled out of the water and there is no time, there is no need to pick it up at the first time. It is no problem to pick the fish on the hook of the other pole slowly, hang the bait and put it in the sea again.
"coming!"
"Another full skewer of five items!"
…
"ha!"
"Can't one person catch two to three hundred kilograms at this speed for several hours?"
…
Zhao Dahai had a great time fishing. The speed of the electric reel is really fast. One pole is raised and lowered, and there are three or five fishes. It takes five or six minutes to catch ten or eight fishes, all of which are about one catty. Three hundred catties is not a problem, not to mention fifty yuan a catty and thirty yuan a catty. One is enough to take care of two poles, which is a bit messy, but it is barely enough.
Zhao Shi was very calm at the beginning, he fished Panzai with his hands, and half an hour passed, watching Zhao Dahai blowing the sea breeze and pulling continuously. Occupied a pole.
Zhao Dahai smiled. He bought a total of three poles a few days ago, two hard and one soft. Two hard poles have been installed, and now the soft one is taken out and installed.
"Yo!"
“This fish mouth is really good!”
…
"The sea!"
"You're right! You may not be able to catch two hundred catties."
…
Zhao Dahai and Zhao Shi took care of three poles, which was more than enough. They pulled fish out of the sea in strings, and fished hard with their heads down, until there were no fish left.
Zhao Dahai shook his hands. He was very tired. He kept fishing for Panzi. There was no technical content and it was purely physical work.
Zhao Dahai looked at the time, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon before he knew it.
Zhao Dahai and Zhao Shi were busy fishing all the time, and couldn't take care of rest or eating. Now when they stopped, their stomachs were growling, they took out the lunch boxes they brought, and ate big mouthfuls.
Zhao Dahai ate quickly, within ten minutes, he ate all the food and vegetables, drank a few sips of water, took the net, picked up all the dishes in the live cabin and put them in the large refrigerator.
"Second Grandpa!"
"You can't run away with two hundred pounds, I guess it has to be two hundred and fifty-six pounds!"
Zhao Dahai estimated how many fish he had caught while fishing.
"Why!"
"How can fishing be better than setting up fishing nets?"
Zhao Shi calculated that these pans could be sold for at least seven to eight thousand yuan. It is not necessarily possible to catch so many fish by placing fishing nets.
"ha!"
"Second Grandpa."
"We had better luck today. One is that we just found a school of fish, the second is that these pan cubs are of good size, and the third is that these pan cubs are biting wildly."
Zhao Dahai shook his head, indeed he caught a lot of panzai today, but it doesn't mean that he can catch so many every day, even if he comes here again tomorrow, even if the fish are still here, they won't bite or bite. , maybe not even one panzi can be caught, and it is impossible to have such a good harvest every time.
After Zhao Shi finished his meal, he put down his lunch box, washed his hands, picked up his hookah, filled it with shredded tobacco, lit it on fire, and started smoking slowly one after another.
"Why!"
"Getting older!"
“I can’t bear it for such a day, and I’m so tired now!”
Zhao Shi shook his head and sighed.
"ha!"
"Second Grandpa!"
"You are over seventy, and you will soon be eighty!"
“You can eat, drink and go fishing!”
"What else do you want?"
Zhao Dahai looked at the live cabin tray and found that he had almost fished it out, with only a dozen left. He was about to pick them all up and put them in the refrigerator when an idea suddenly occurred to him.
"The sea!"
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Shi smoked water pipes for several times and didn't hear Zhao Dahai speak. He turned around and saw that Zhao Dahai had picked up the hand-cranked pole and was hanging a plate on the hook.
"Second Grandpa."
"Didn't I walk around this place for two or three hours before fishing for Panzi?"
"There are several places where the sea water is relatively deep, and it may be a trench."
“It’s already three or four o’clock at this time, and it’s too late to change to another fishing spot.”
“I thought I’d give it a try and see if I could catch a big fish.”
Zhao Dahai held a live panzi with one hand, picked up the hook with the other hand, hung it carefully on the fish's mouth, carried it into the live cabin, and looked at it. The panzi was jumping and swimming around for a while. Can't die.
Zhao Dahai immediately clicked on several trenches he had marked in front of him and drove there in a speedboat. It was not too far away and the speedboat was fast. He arrived in about ten minutes.
Zhao Dahai picked up the plate hanging on the hook, put it into the sea, and swam quickly. However, the hook was pulled by the thread hanging on the hook. If he swam forward one meter, he had to change direction. The lead pendant pulled the plate underneath. Zai slowly disappeared into the sea.
Zhao Dahai looked at the fish detector. The sea water here was as deep as ninety-five meters. He could vaguely see a place where the color was very dark. It was most likely a trench.
Zhao Dahai remembered that when he discovered this trench a few hours ago, he drove a speedboat and used a fish finder to scan it carefully. He found that it was only four to five hundred meters long.
Zhao Dahai is not experienced enough and is not able to tell whether what is shown on the fish detector is a trench, a reef, or even the location of a sunken ship. The only thing he can be sure of is that this place is different from other places. There is a structure. Put the line down. I was very careful when I was doing it. I stopped immediately when I reached 90 meters. After waiting for a while, I pulled it up and it didn't catch the bottom. I continued to put it down for another half meter until it reached 93 meters and it still didn't catch.
Zhao Dahai did not continue to lower the line and decided to try it first to see how it went.
Zhao Dahai looked at the signal on the fish detector and adjusted the direction of the speedboat.
Will there be any fish?
Zhao Dahai concentrated his energy, holding the fishing rod in his right hand, and controlling the speedboat with his left hand to drive forward slowly along the trench from one end to the other.
Zhao Shi did not get off the pole. He watched from the side as the speedboat slowly drove forward. His eyes widened and he became more and more nervous. He even forgot to smoke the hookah in his hand.
Zhao Dahai shook his head. The trench was not long. He drove the speedboat to control the speed. For five or six minutes, he "covered the current" again, but there was no movement.
Zhao Shi let out a long breath and felt that he was a little funny. A man in his seventies had been catching fish all his life. He shouldn't be so nervous. Just now he really thought that Zhao Dahai would definitely catch fish. He lowered his head and looked at the water in the hookah. When the cut tobacco is burnt out, I put it to my mouth and blow gently. A stream of water rushes out of the remaining cut tobacco. It falls into a jar hanging under the cigarette holder. I pinch a new cut tobacco in the bag, knead it into a small ball, and stuff it into the cigarette holder. , started smoking.
Zhao Dahai reeled in the line and pulled up the fish. He looked at the pan and saw if it was full of energy. He drove the speedboat back to where he started and put out the line. This time he tried to put it at 94 meters without hanging on the bottom. He controlled it. The speedboat "covered the current" forward for the second time. Ten minutes later, the pole tip was motionless.
"This is how the same thing?"
"Is there really no fish?"
Zhao Dahai kept covering the current until the sixth time. Not to mention that any fish took the bait, there was no signal that seemed to be biting. The only gain was to confirm that this was indeed a trench with a hard bottom. The lead dropped and dragged The bottom will not hang.
"The sea!"
"There should be no fish in this place!"
Zhao Shi was a little disappointed when he saw Zhao Dahai trying back and forth six times without catching any fish, but this situation was very normal.
"no!"
"I have to try again!"
Zhao Dahai decided to give it one last try. If there were no fish, he would go back home.
Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat back to the beginning of the trench. Out of anger, he didn't change the bait and still used a pan. He lowered it directly to 95 meters. He didn't hit the bottom at all but dragged it directly to the bottom of the sea.
Zhao Dahai controlled the speedboat to cover the current.
Huh?
Could it be that my speed is too slow?
Zhao Dahai suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He had been worried that the fish on the bottom of the sea couldn't keep up with the current during his previous trips, so he deliberately slowed down. There were no fish bites. He might as well try to go faster this time and see. How about it.
Zhao Dahai just did what he said, immediately added a little oil, and the speed of the speedboat immediately doubled.
Zhao Dahai controlled the speedboat with his left hand, and only held the fishing rod with his right hand. He pulled the fishing rod with almost no warning and almost flew out.
"Dry!"
"coming!"
Zhao Dahai immediately grabbed the fishing rod with both hands and pushed it up.
Zhao Shi was so frightened that the hookah in his hand fell to the ground.
"What fish?"
"Is it from Grouper?"
Zhao Shi stood up suddenly, very anxious, and immediately asked Zhao Dahai what kind of fish this was.
"have no idea!"
"I'm very strong, but I can't drill down hard!"
“It’s probably not a grouper but another fish, but it’s definitely not small!”
Zhao Dahai held the pole firmly with both hands.
"What the hell!"
"Why are you running so fast?!"
"Come back to me!"
Zhao Dahai leaned back and his face turned red from suppressing his emotions. The raised fishing rod bent in a huge arc, the spinning wheel turned wildly, and the fishing line ran wildly out, riding away from the dust.
