Zhao Dahai looked at the lights of the familiar village pier in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief. He ran a little far today and the time was probably wrong. The plan was to return to the pier at five or six o'clock. Now it is already past seven o'clock and close to eight o'clock. In the evening
Driving a fishing boat is a very dangerous thing.
Zhao Dahai slowed down the speed of the fishing boat. As he approached the dock, there were more fishing boats. There were wooden piles and ropes in the sea. He could see clearly during the day, so it was not a big problem. It was night now, so he had to be very careful.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Dahai was startled. There was a loud sound on the sea. The sound of the diesel engine was very noisy, but he could still hear it. It was like a big stone hitting the sea. He looked around and saw that there was no fishing boat. It couldn't be someone else.
Issued to.
illusion?
Hallucinated?
Zhao Dahai frowned.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Dahai heard it clearly now and immediately turned off the diesel engine.
"Snapped!"
…
"Snapped!"
…
"Snapped!"
…
Zhao Dahai stood on the fishing boat and stared at the southeast direction. All the sounds came from there. The sea was empty and the sound could travel far, the distance was estimated to be two to three hundred meters.
What fish?
Sea bass?
Zhao Dahai suddenly remembered that he had caught a sea bass two days ago.
Sea bass are very ferocious by nature and will gather into schools to chase small fish. They are very active at night just after dark or when it starts to get light in the morning, and swim very fast. They will rush out of the water when hunting. These sounds are most likely to be caused by
The sea bass leaped out of the water and crashed back into the sea.
Catching a sea bass doesn't mean much, but now these sounds can prove that sea bass season has begun and sea bass are back in these waters.
Zhao Dahai has not gone there. It is night now and he cannot see clearly. The key is that it is late. Grandma Zhong Cuihua will be very worried if she does not go home. She is already restless. If it is too late, she may have to ask someone to go out to sea to find her. Making money is important, but this
Nothing compares to family.
Zhao Dahai stood on the fishing boat, listening to the sound of water from time to time, and carefully identified the location. The shallow sea was relatively familiar. He slowly remembered that it was the sea opposite the reef area at the east end of the village. After remembering it, he drove the fishing boat back to the dock and packed up.
The fishing boat caught half a catty of Shi Jiugong caught today and put it in a bucket to go home.
Zhao Dahai saw his grandma Zhong Cuihua from a distance, standing at the door of the yard, looking constantly, waiting for him, and immediately quickened his pace.
"grandmother."
"I ran a little further today. Mainly because I have no experience. I guess I came back late because I didn't have the right time."
Zhao Dahai talked about the reason for his late return, but did not say anything about not worrying. In fishing villages, as long as someone goes to sea and does not come back, the people in the family will be very worried. This is not something that can really stop worrying, let alone
He said that his family's situation was special.
Zhao Dahai carried the bucket into the yard and walked to the fish pond. Shijiu Gong was different from other fish. Whether it was caught by fishing or using fishing nets, including cages, it was not easy to feed him in shallow seas.
If the water depth is a few meters, the chance is higher. Today, when fishing in water depths of 20 to 30 meters, the water pressure changes rapidly, and most of them are dead.
Zhao Dahai picked the live ones and put them into the fish pond, and put the dead ones in the refrigerator. He took three of them and indulged himself. He cooked a pot of soup, fried vegetables and other meat, and had a good meal.
Zhao Dahai finished his dinner, took a bath, sunbathed in the sea for a day, ate and drank enough, and relaxed.
Zhao Dahai teased Xiao Naihei for a while, then went out to the vegetable garden behind the house. Luffa, beans, and beans grew very tall and had many knots, not to mention the green vegetables. They were all green and green. He didn’t have time, but it was all grandma Zhong Cuihua’s.
I took care of it, watered it, and watched the chickens grow bigger. The chicken pen I built at the beginning was a little small. I have to build a bigger one when I have time. The lychees and longans have grown to shoulder height.
Zhao Dahai took a walk and went home to sleep. He would have to get up very early tomorrow. Life in the fishing village was simple and boring. If he had something to do today, he would go to bed early if he had nothing to do. He would have something to do tomorrow.
early morning.
There is a trace of mist floating on the surface of the sea.
The sky is very blue, and white clouds can be seen from time to time. The weather is very good.
Zhao Dahai left the pier and the fishing boat moved forward. The sea breeze blew in front of him. It was very comfortable before the sun came out.
Before going out to sea today, I was a little hesitant. Yesterday I went farther and found a place with running water and cut the line. There must be big fish. But when I returned to the pier in front of the village last night, I found sea bass hitting the water, so I finally decided to try it first.
Try fishing for sea bass, and if you can’t catch it, try fishing for big fish.
Zhao Dahai spent some time and found the location where he heard the fish hitting the water last night. He could see very clearly during the day that there were several large wooden piles standing in the sea.
It took Zhao Dahai a while to remember that there used to be a fixed fishing net in this place. This is a fixed position fishing net that can be raised and lowered. When the tide rises, the fish will enter the fishing net with the rising sea water. Before the sea water begins to ebb, the fish will be caught.
The fisherman comes in time to raise the fishing net, and the fish will be "stranded" in the fishing net.
Twenty or thirty years ago, when there were a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea, you could catch a lot of them, but now you can't. There are too few fish, shrimps and crabs in the shallow sea, and there are too many fishing boats. In particular, the fishing nets must be placed further forward than the fixed fishing nets, directly blocking the fish.
Nothing was harvested, and it was slowly abandoned, leaving only these wooden piles driven deep into the seabed.
Zhao Dahai looked around carefully and found that the sea water here has obvious boundaries. A long strip of sea water is darker than the others. It is not particularly wide, about ten meters, but it is very long, extending to the depths of the sea.
.
Could this have been a fish passage before?
Zhao Dahai has long heard that fish in the sea have fish passages. When the tide is high, the fish swim from the deep sea to the shallow sea, and the opposite is true when the tide is low. Only by choosing such a place to set up the fishing net can you catch more fish, shrimps and crabs.
However, there are too many fishing boats now. Fishing nets are put into the sea one after another, and the fish passages are all ruined. There will definitely not be many fish.
Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat and found a place with relatively deep water. There was almost no current and he did not drop anchor. He just turned off the diesel engine and tried to see if there were any fish.
The sea bass fishing rig is very simple, with a triangle conversion, one main line, one with lead, and the other with a sub-line tied with a hook. The bait is live shrimp. Sea bass is different from other fish, it is very picky.
Basically, they only eat live bait, and the hook is hung on the shrimp's shrimp gun, so that the shrimp can live for a long time.
Zhao Dahai throws the rod out, puts the lead to the bottom, and the water depth is about five or six meters. He reels in the line, half a meter away from the bottom. In this way, the live shrimp hanging on the sub-line are always "floating" swimming in the water, and can only be fixed at the length of the sub-line.
Swim within the range to attract sea bass to prey on. This is “floating shrimp” fishing for sea bass.
Zhao Dahai waited for about ten minutes, but no fish bit the hook, so he reeled in another half a meter, one meter away from the bottom. After waiting for another ten minutes, there was no movement, so he continued to reel in the line, fishing higher and higher from the bottom.
The sun hangs high in the sky.
The sea is open and there is no cover at all. The sun shines directly and it is very hot.
Zhao Dahai was very patient and kept releasing and retracting the line.
Fishing for sea bass is different from fishing for other fish. First, you have to find the spots with fish, and the other is to find the water layer with fish. If there are no fish, you will definitely not be able to catch fish. However, where there are fish, there is water with floating shrimps.
You can't catch fish even if the layer is wrong. The difference of one and a half meters makes a huge difference.
Zhao Dahai started the diesel engine. If he couldn't catch fish in one place for two hours, he tried another place.
