Chapter 285: Making Money! But It’s Hard to Put It Into Words!

Zhao Dahai stood beside the speedboat, propping up the side of the boat with both hands, staring at the water with wide eyes.

What kind of fish could it be?

Black snapper?

Or yellow chicken?

Or some other fish?

Zhao Dahai directly ruled out grouper. Groupers are bottom-dwelling fish, and they will drill down crazily when hooked, regardless of size. At this time, the fish on the hook did not drill down. In addition, the hooked fish was in the water layer of 110 meters, and the depth of the sea water was at least At one hundred and twenty meters, even though it is only ten meters, these are two completely different worlds. Some fish will never live in a water layer above ten meters.

"coming!"

"The fish are coming!"

Zhao Dahai saw a string hook with a water depth of five or six meters and pulled up four fish, none of which were particularly big, weighing seven or eight kilograms or ten kilograms.

ah?

what fish is this?

Why is it this color?

Zhao Dahai squinted his eyes. The water surface was shaking and reflecting the sunlight, making it difficult to see clearly. However, it was 100% that it was not the color of red spots or green sea bream.

Zhao Dahai kept waiting for the fish to come out of the water, and only after taking a closer look did he know what kind of fish it was.

"Owl?"

"It's actually an owl?"

Zhao Dahai didn't expect to catch an owl here. He once caught a big one, dried it and prepared it as a betrothal gift. The fish maw was left for his future wife to eat during her confinement period. The one he caught now was a small one.

Zhao Dahai immediately pulled the line and carried the fish onto the deck.

"ha!"

"I didn't expect there to be fishes here. It looks like there is definitely a school of fishes underneath."

Zhao Dahai was very excited.

"If you have money, you can eat it, but if you don't have money, you can eat it."

Anchovy is a high-end fish. It is hard to come by and find fish that weigh several dozen kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms. Generally, three to four kilograms or five to six kilograms is considered good. The small ones in front of us weighed five or six kilograms, and the big ones exceeded ten kilograms. It can't be compared with the one I caught, but it can already be sold for a pretty good price.

Zhao Dahai picked the fish and threw it into the live water tank. After thinking about it, he changed three hooks to string hooks with thicker lines and wider hook doors. The squid is relatively large, and its mouth is relatively large, so its struggle is relatively strong. The string hook used to catch yellow chicken or two or three pounds of black sea bream is a bit difficult to carry.

Zhao Dahai's bait cage was filled with Antarctic shrimps, and instead of hanging the larger Antarctic shrimps on the hooks, whole sea centipedes were hung on them.

"bring it on!"

"Look at how many dolphins there are down here!"

Zhao Dahai re-routed the line and directly lowered it to the 110-meter water layer where he had just caught the owl.

"coming!"

"It's really a school of fish! And it's a big school of fish!"

Zhao Dahai had just released the water layer in the house, and the tip of the rod immediately shook. In the blink of an eye, he gave three heavy bites and immediately pushed the switch to take up the line.

Zhao Dahai was very excited. Every moment the electric winch turned, the fishing rod bent downward very much. The total number of fish hooked must weigh at least thirty or forty kilograms.

"Very good!"

“I didn’t expect that I could catch an owl just like this!”

Zhao Dahai waved his fist vigorously.

When fishing for Antarctic shrimps, you just want to see if you can catch some black bream or yellow chickens. If not, try hitting the bottom directly to see if there are groupers or other large bottom-dwelling fish. What I didn't expect to see was the sea bream, and it was quite big. This was a much more advanced fish than the black sea bream or yellow chicken found in the open sea.

Zhao Dahai turned his head and looked at the fish detector. Not only were the fish flowers obvious, but they were also quite thick. There were also shoals of squid gathered under the speedboat.

"quick!"

"hurry up!"

"Start production!"

Zhao Dahai took out another fishing rod, installed the electric winch, tied the fishing rig, stuffed Antarctic shrimp hooks into the bait cage and hung a whole sea centipede on it, and immediately put it down.

Zhao Dahai was very busy.

Don't look at it, these are just two poles, and each pole only has three string hooks. The shoals of fish on the bottom of the sea opened their mouths wildly, hanging on the string hooks of sea centipedes. As soon as they reached the water city, the fish would immediately bite them away, and they would not stop at all.

There were beads of sweat the size of soybeans all over Zhao Dahai's forehead. The clothes on his body were already soaked through. The sweat kept dripping down and flowed directly into his eyes from the corners of his eyes. It was very uncomfortable. He couldn't bear to pull his collar to wipe it.

"Dry!"

"Another bite!"

Zhao Dahai shook it hard, and the sea centipede in his hand hit the deck hard, smashing it to pieces.

The sea centipede is indeed a small insect, but don't underestimate it because its teeth are very sharp. When fishing, especially when a sea centipede is hung on the hook, if you are not careful, your hand holding the sea centipede will be bitten.

Every fisherman's hands are rotten, sometimes bitten by fish or scratched by fish fins, or simply bitten by sea centipedes and the like.

Zhao Dahai picked up another sea centipede and hung it on the hook, and immediately put it into the sea.

Zhao Dahai was busy fishing. As he fished, he found that the number of hooked fish was getting smaller and smaller. At the beginning, he could catch three fish in a minute or two, but later it took five or six minutes for a fish to get hooked.

No way?

A passing school of fish?

Did he just run away like this? Isn’t that too disrespectful?

Zhao Dahai looked at the fish detector and saw scattered fish flowers. These were really passing fish schools. He was a little unwilling to give up. He continued fishing for five or six times and finally gave up after not finding a single fish for more than half an hour.

Zhao Dahai was a little depressed.

The fish shoal of catfish is very huge, they are not bad in size, most of them weigh eight catties, and they open their mouths crazily. As long as you can fish for half a day, you can make a lot of money.

It's a pity that this is just a passing fish, and the school of fish doesn't stay at all, and it's just fishing for more than an hour. I caught a lot of fish and made a little money, but not a lot of money.

Zhao Dahai drank some water and rested for a few minutes. He had been busy fishing just now. He threw the fish caught in the living water tank or directly on the deck at his feet. He picked them all up and mixed them with those in the living water tank. I picked up all the alive ones and put them in the refrigerator together. The anchovy and black sea bream were even different from the yellow chickens. They were not easy to feed and more importantly, there was no need to feed them.

At the beginning, Zhao Dahai was very depressed when he saw that the fish schools had dispersed and he couldn't catch any fish. If he could really fish for five or six hours or even one day, he would definitely make a lot of money.

After Zhao Dahai finished picking up the fish, he covered it with a layer of crushed ice and simply processed it. He would not process it properly until he went back.

Zhao Dahai checked that it was still early and it was not lunch time, so he continued fishing. When he just walked to the cockpit and looked forward, he found that there were fish in the water around the speedboat, group after group, and they were all very big. Each one is more than one meter long, and the golden color is very beautiful.

"I'm surrounded by fish!"

"It's a pity that this fish can't be sold for any money!"

Zhao Dahai was very excited at first. After seeing clearly what kind of fish it was, a basin of cold water was poured on his forehead.

Ghost head knife!

There are groups of ghost-headed swords in the water around me on the speedboat, and the pulling force is very strong. If you just like fishing, especially the pulling force of fishing fish, this kind of fish is very good. But for me, this kind of fish has no value. Not to mention selling it in the market, even cats won’t like to eat it if I take it back to feed it.

"sharp!"

"It's really amazing!"

Zhao Dahai was a little stunned. A huge ghost-headed sword that was more than one meter long jumped out of the sea less than five meters away from him, like a jumping fish, jumping forward and swimming forward, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Dahai waited for almost half an hour before the school of fish from Guitou Dao disappeared.

Zhao Dahai prepared to fish, but this time it was not a fishing rig purchased from a group, but a hanging rig for grouper fishing. A live shrimp as big as two fingers was hung on the hook.

What I caught in the 110-meter water layer was the squid. Now let’s try to see if there are any fish at the bottom. I have been fishing for more than an hour just now, and I have caught so many Antarctic shrimps that it is impossible to eat them all. Many of them must have fallen to the bottom of the sea, and to the depths of the bottom trench. Maybe there will be big fish coming.

Zhao Dahai looked at the fish detector and drove the speedboat to adjust for a while to make sure it was directly above the trench. Then he lowered the line and placed it directly on the lead pendant when it hit the bottom of the sea. He stopped when the line on the fishing rod became loose and lifted it. I checked the pole and found that it was not hanging on the bottom. I pulled up another two meters of line to make sure that it was not hanging on the bottom. I couldn’t help but think of the wreck spot I fished two days ago. The reef area was really good and the bottom would be hooked, but the probability was really too high. Low.

Are there really no fish?

So many Antarctic shrimps were all in vain?

Zhao Dahai waited for a while, but no fish took the bait.

what to do?

Go to another fishing spot?

Zhao Dahai stood up straight, squinted his eyes, looked at the sea, and wondered whether he should go to another place to try next.

got windy?

Is there a wave?

Not a wave!

It's Yong!

Zhao Dahai looked at it carefully for a while, and saw that the entire surface of the sea kept swelling up and then sinking, and his complexion suddenly became a little ugly.

People who go to sea are afraid of wind and waves, but swells are more troublesome. If the wind is smaller or the waves are smaller, especially if it is not a white-headed wave, there is no big problem. The scary part is that the people on the speedboat are very uncomfortable. Don't say that people who rarely go to sea will get seasick even if they often go fishing.

Don’t go to other fishing spots!

Zhao Dahai originally thought about whether to try other fishing spots. When he saw a swell on the sea surface, he simply stayed and tried again. One was that he might not be able to catch fish if he went to other places now and wasted time. The other was in front of him. This fishing point is surging, and the fish on the bottom of the sea, especially the big fish like grouper, are very likely to become irritable, which may be an opportunity.

Zhao Dahai arranged the fishing rod, hung a large live shrimp on the hook and placed it in the live cabin at his feet. When he first came here, he scanned the spots and marked a few places with complex structures, especially large drops in sea water, and decided to strike Try these places to see if there are any big fish.

Zhao Dahai studied the positions of several points, drove a speedboat, "floated" two or three times in the direction of the swell, and determined a line that could "open" from the first point to the last point at one time. line.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat and returned to a position about thirty meters ahead of the first point. He picked up the live shrimps he had hung earlier and put them into the sea. Driven by the ten kilograms of lead pendants, they sank quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Put it all the way to one hundred and ten meters.

Zhao Dahai controlled the speedboat with his left hand, and it floated forward along the water.

Twenty meters!

Ten meters!

Five meters!

Zhao Dahai stared at the fish detector, watching the first point getting closer and closer. When he saw that it was about to overlap, he immediately released the line. When he saw the bent fishing rod rebound and straighten, he immediately began to take in the line and pulled it away from the bottom of the sea. rice.

No fish!

Zhao Dahai shook his head. The speedboat floated directly past the point without any movement. He immediately controlled the direction of the speedboat and drifted towards the second point.

Fifty meters!

Thirty meters!

Ten meters!

Five meters!

Zhao Dahai continued to put out the line to hit the bottom. After hitting the bottom, he immediately reeled in the line, only one meter. The speedboat smoothly passed over the second point. He breathed a sigh of relief. There was no hook on the bottom, but there was no fish.

Zhao Hai controlled the direction of the speedboat and floated to the third, fourth, and fifth points. Every point was bottomed out, but there were no fish at all.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The swell is getting bigger and bigger, and the sea surface is like a wheat field blown by the wind, or like silk blown by the wind. The sea water keeps swelling, and then sinks.

Zhao Dahai wiped the seawater from his face. His clothes were already soaked and his face was very serious. He decided to float for the last time and leave immediately if there were no fish.

The speedboat driven by Zhao Dahai returned to the top of the first point. He took a deep breath, looked at the line on the fish finder navigation, and seized the time to immediately float down to the first point. The speedboat started from the first point. The fishing rod bent down at the moment it slid over this point.

Zhao Dahai immediately pushed the switch with his right hand to reel in the line, and firmly controlled the speedboat with his left hand. After leaving the punctuation mark, a fish was pulled out of the water.

Dry!

nice one!

Rat spots!

Mouse spot is a type of grouper. It has a smaller head, a pointed mouth, round eyes, and a slightly hunched back. It looks very much like a mouse. It doesn’t look good, or even a little obscene. But it is definitely a top quality fish. The price is not as good as red spot, but the gap is not that big.

Zhao Dahai grabbed the thread and pulled it to the side of the speedboat, immediately picked up the net, took off the hook, and put it into the live cabin.

"What the hell!"

"too difficult!"

"It's not easy to catch this fish!"

Zhao Dahai yelled excitedly, the speedboat flew up suddenly and then smashed back to the sea surface, he couldn't stand still and almost fell

No way! ?

Is it such a big surge?

Come fish at this time?

To fish or not to fish?

Zhao Dahai supported the side of the boat, and the swell on the sea surface was getting bigger and bigger, at least over half a meter.

If there is no fish, you must go back immediately, but now you have caught fish, and you have caught very valuable mouse spots.

Dry!

Walk!

go back!

Run quickly!

Zhao Dahai hesitated for a moment, glanced at the mouse spot in the live cabin, sighed, packed up his things, and left immediately.

Four p.m.

The sun sets in the west.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat slowly to the dock. As soon as it stopped, his face suddenly changed. He leaned on the side of the boat with his hands and bent down to vomit. He vomited out yellow bile and water, and then stopped when his stomach was clean and nothing was found.

Zhao Dahai took a bottle of water to rinse his mouth, and drank the rest. The surge was really too big, and it was very uncomfortable to run all the way back. My stomach was overwhelmed, and the old driver couldn't bear it.

Zhao Dahai sat on the deck and rested for about ten minutes. He slowly regained his strength. He stood up, took the refrigerator and water tank, and picked up the fish he caught today. The yellow chicken and catfish were all put in the refrigerator, and the rat spots were put in the water tank. They all loaded onto the tricycle and took them home.

When Zhao Dahai returned home, he remembered the phone he had just installed yesterday, found Wu Weimin's phone number, called it, and told him about the fish he caught today. If he wanted it, he would have to come over overnight and go to sea by himself early tomorrow morning.

Wu Weimin immediately said come over now.

Just as Zhao Dahai finished his dinner, Wu Weimin's car had already arrived at the door.

After Wu Weimin finished watching the fish, the price of yellow chicken and catfish was 200 yuan per catty, and the price of mouse ban was 700 yuan per catty.

"Yo!"

"Is Mouse Spot so expensive?"

Zhao Dahai didn't expect the mouse spot to be so valuable, it was even more expensive than the red spot.

"hehe!"

"In some places, there is a saying of the four kings of fish, referring to Su Mei, Hongban, Tsing Yi, and Mouse Ban."

"Rat Spot is the first of the four kings."

"Do you think it's worth anything?"

Wu Weimin's eyes lit up when he looked at the mouse spot in the live fish pond. He knew too well how delicious the fish was.

Zhao Dahai took the platform scale, and all the fish passed the scale.

"Yellow chicken and squid are one hundred and seventy-two catties and three taels, thirty-four thousand four hundred and sixty yuan."

"Rat spot is nine pounds and seven taels, six thousand seven hundred and ninety yuan."

"The total is forty-one thousand two hundred and fifty yuan."

Wu Weimin settled the account, took the money from the car and gave it to Zhao Dahai.

"ah?"

"Zhao Dahai."

"Why do you think you are a little unhappy?"

"You don't think you made less money today, do you?"

Wu Weimin felt a little strange when he saw Zhao Dahai being unhappy.

Zhao Dahai sighed and shook his head, but it was not because he made less money, but because he was too depressed about fishing. He briefly talked about today's fishing process.

Yellow chicken?

Caught a lot.

Anchovy!

Caught a lot!

Plus a rat spot weighing about ten pounds.

Did you make money?

100% profitable and a lot of it.

But it’s really hard to put into words.

While fishing for yellow chicken, a pod of dolphins appeared in Kuangkou, disrupting the situation.

Fishing for catfish?

The catch was good but it was a passing fish and it was gone in over an hour.

I originally wanted to catch grouper or other valuable fish, but the swell started to get bigger and bigger. When I caught a valuable big rat grouper, I had to run.

No dolphins to disrupt the situation when fishing for yellow chicken?

Isn’t the catfish caught passing by?

When fishing for rat spots, are there no swells or should the swells not be that big?

No matter which one goes more smoothly, you will earn more than this today!

Only now did Wu Weimin realize what was going on. He had no choice but to go all the way smoothly. There was nothing to comfort him. He knew that Zhao Dahai would continue to go to sea tomorrow. He chatted for a few words and reminded him to find time to take him with him. He and Xu Yuanjiang went fishing in the sea and left.

"What the hell!"

"Continue tomorrow! If you don't accept it, just keep doing it!"

Zhao Dahai finished his meal and went to bed early, deciding to get up at three o'clock tomorrow morning and continue going to sea.
