Chapter 188 The target appears: like a snake with gray back and white belly
early morning.
Just after six o'clock, Zhao Dahai got up, pushed open the courtyard door, and cleaned up inside and outside. He washed the pond in the corner used to feed fish and went around the vegetable garden behind the house. The fence had been re-strengthened yesterday and new
The bamboo stakes driven into the ground are about half a meter long and are very stable. However, if there is a big typhoon, you will still have to pour them down. The vegetable seeds that have been sprinkled for a few days have begun to germinate and can be transplanted in about a week. It will not take much.
It’s time for the garden to be filled with edible vegetables again. The chickens started running around happily in the chicken coop again. Yesterday, I went to the forest on the mountain and saw the trees that had been knocked down by the typhoon and could no longer grow. They cut them down, pulled them back and piled them up behind the house.
If you can use it, you can't use it to make a fire for cooking.
Zhao Dahai returned to the yard and planned to go out to sea tomorrow to release hooks. He had to make preparations. He took a few large buckets and small buckets, put them on the tricycle and drove to the beach. Many fishing boats came back from fishing. The typhoon made landfall five days ago.
The thing is, I haven’t been out to sea in the past few days. One is that there are not many fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea, and the other is that the waves are not small. Grandma Zhong Cuihua doesn’t say it, but she is worried in her heart. She also promised Ding Xiaoxiang that she might as well stay at home for a few more days.
.
Zhao Dahai walked around and saw that people had gone out to sea two days ago, but there were really not many fish, shrimps and crabs. When he saw a dragonhead fish, he immediately bought thirty kilograms. This is a small fish about the size of a finger and is relatively cheap.
, I will need it when I put out the hooks tomorrow, and I also bought thirty pounds of mud shrimps the size of little fingers. I don’t need live ones, dead ones are enough.
Zhao Dahai bought the leading fish and put it on the tricycle. He got on the fishing boat and cleaned it up. He tried the diesel engine and found that there was no problem. He took seawater to rinse the deck and then started to fill the big bucket on the tricycle with seawater and pulled it back to create a live fish pond.
After filling it up, I tried the oxygen and water pumps, and everything was fine.
Zhao Dahai took a foam box, poured the faucet fish and shrimp into it and added a little ice.
"grandmother."
"The weather is almost here. There will be a good tide tomorrow. I want to go to sea!"
Zhao Dahai saw Zhong Cuihua walking out of the yard and said he would go to sea tomorrow.
"OK!"
"Go for it!"
"Are you planning to release the row hook?"
Zhong Cuihua looked at the dragonhead fish and small mud shrimps inside the open foam box.
"Just a few days after the typhoon."
"I just took a look at the pier and saw that the fishing boats out to sea were setting up fishing nets and no one was catching many fish."
"The fishing won't be very good."
"Try putting some row hooks, maybe you can catch more fish."
Zhao Dahai plans to release the hooks early tomorrow morning. It is more cost-effective to fish when there are more fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea. When there are not many fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea, he will release the hooks, covering a wider sea area, and there is a chance to catch more fish.
After Zhao Dahai finished his dinner, he took the row of hooks tied a few days ago to hang the bait, one hook to hang the dragonhead fish and the other to hang the small mud shrimp. When his grandmother Zhong Cuihua saw him coming over, she said a few words and didn't want to listen, insisting.
I can only agree to help. Not all the rows of hooks were hung, only ten baskets were hung. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening after hanging, so I went to bed early.
Five o'clock in the morning.
Zhao Dahai rode a tricycle and brought ten baskets of hooks to the pier. Most of the fishing boats had already gone out to fish, and there were only a few boats left. The entire dock seemed empty. Without wasting time, all the hooks were loaded onto the fishing boats.
Go to sea.
Zhao Dahai is driving a fishing boat. The sea is dark. Looking forward, the lights of fishing boats are dotted. There are some surges on the sea. The fishing boats hit the sea one after another. The splashing sea water is very high and blows towards you.
The sea breeze was a bit strong, and the mist hit my face and body directly, making me completely soaked in a short time.
Zhao Dahai didn't care at all. He took several deep breaths of the salty sea breeze. He stayed at home for a few days and felt a little bored. Now that he went to sea, he immediately became energetic.
Zhao Dahai did not drive too far. He slowed down in less than an hour. This area had a sandy and gravel bottom. Fishing boats would go farther. Fishing boats would not go so far.
Row hook.
Zhao Dahai picked up the buoy with row of hooks and threw it into the sea, followed by the lead pendant tied to one end of the row of hooks. The fishing boat moved forward slowly, and hung the hooks for leader fish and mud shrimp one by one and dropped them into the sea one by one.
go.
The most important thing when setting the hook is to straighten the main line. If the main line is not straight, it will all be tangled up and it will be impossible to catch fish. One person has to drive the fishing boat and set the hook at the same time, which is not easy.
, you can still do it if you take your time.
Zhao Dahai finished placing the row hooks of one basket and moved to another place to place the row hooks of another basket. After finishing the row hooks of ten baskets, it was already bright and it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Zhao Dahai took out the rice he had brought and rested while eating. He had to pull the hook for a while, which lasted for several hours. He should have eaten earlier.
After Zhao Dahai finished his meal and drank some water, he took a rest, drove the fishing boat back to the place where the first basket was lined with hooks, took the hook, hooked the buoy, and pulled it to the fishing boat. He pulled up the lead pendant and put it in the basket, and began to collect it.
Put the main thread in the basket in circles, so that you don’t have to rearrange it the next time you put it.
There was no fish on the first hook.
There was still no fish on the second hook.
Zhao Dahai collected half a basket of hooks and exceeded the 250-meter main line without a single fish.
Why are there so few fish?
Is it so bleak after the typhoon?
Zhao Dahai frowned. The characteristic of the row of hooks is that they cover a relatively large sea area. As long as there are fish in the sea, the chance of catching them is relatively higher. However, there are no big or small ones now.
Zhao Dahai continued to collect the row hooks. The first basket was all finished without a single fish. He was a little disappointed. He looked around carefully and remembered this place. Next time, he will definitely not come here to put the row hooks or fish here. Five
If there is a hook every ten meters for a hundred meters, then there are fifty hooks. Even if it is a small fish, it will not be able to catch it. It will only mean that there are no fish in the sea.
Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat to the second place where the hook was released, picked up the buoy, pulled up the lead pendant, and began to collect the main line.
There was no fish on the first hook.
There was no fish on the second hook.
I connected twenty hooks, but still no fish.
Zhao Dahai was a little depressed now. The hooks of the second basket were almost half pulled, but there was still no fish at all. This harvest was too bleak.
Zhao Dahai took a short rest, picked up the water glass, drank some water, and pulled seven or eight more hooks in succession.
"coming!"
"Finally there are fish!"
"Black snapper!"
Zhao Dahai held the main line with his right hand and felt a fish struggling and moving, shaking and shaking. This was a typical movement of black sea bream after taking the bait. When he pulled it out of the water, he saw that it was indeed a big black sea bream of about two kilograms.
, I picked the hook and threw it into the live cabin. This was the first harvest of the day. I looked at it and found that it was a small mud shrimp.
There are two types of bait hung on the row hooks, one is small mud shrimps and the other is dragonhead fish. It is the first time I put the row hooks on and I don’t know what kind of bait the fish in this sea like to eat.
The first fish caught eats small mud shrimps. If most of the fish that are hooked next eat small mud shrimps, the next time the hook is hooked, only small mud shrimps will be hung, and the leader fish will not be needed.
Zhao Dahai was refreshed. With the first harvest, he felt much better and continued to collect the hooks.
Zhao Dahai finished collecting the hooks in the second basket, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled bitterly. He was a little too happy and caught a black sea bream weighing about two kilograms. The next dozens of hooks only caught one.
A small yellow snapper as big as three fingers, a sand pointed fish and a golden drum fish. This kind of harvest is not only profitable, but also not enough for gas money.
Zhao Dahai directly sentenced the second place to death. Not to mention that if the hook was released, the fishing would not come. This was no different from the first place.
Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat to the third place where the hook was released. After collecting it, he went to the fourth place where the sixth hook was released.
Isn’t it true that there are so few fish?
Zhao Dahai couldn't believe it. After collecting five baskets of hooks, less than ten kilograms of fish were collected. He originally thought that by placing hooks, he could catch more fish and make more money. However, looking at the current situation, he really thought too much and was too naive.
Not only did I not have the fish I wanted to catch, but there were not many other common fish such as black sea bream, yellow sea bream, and so on.
Zhao Dahai had no choice at all. He didn't have the final say whether there were fish in the sea. The hooks had already been put into the sea, and he had to put them away whether there were any.
Zhao Dahai started to pull the hook of the sixth basket. As soon as he pulled up the main line, he immediately felt that his hand was very heavy.
Big fish coming?
Zhao Dahai couldn't believe it, so he pulled it gently and felt a completely different feel from black sea bream and yellow sea bream. It was very heavy and rolling.
It’s really here!
Zhao Dahai immediately continued to pull the line carefully. The water was not deep. After a few minutes, a fish emerged from the water.
"ha!"
"ha!"
"really have!"
Zhao Dahai was surprised and happy. The fish he hooked was exactly the fish he had set the hook for this time. It was as thick as his arms, had a long snake-like body, and had a gray back and a white belly.
