Chapter 284 I made money! But it’s hard to explain in one word!
Zhao Dahai stood beside the speedboat, holding the side of the boat with both hands and looking 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. Grouper is a bottom-dwelling fish, and it 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 110 meters away.
The water layer, the depth of seawater is at least 120 meters. Even though it is only ten meters, these are two completely different worlds. Some fish will never live in the 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% not the color of erythema or blue 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 and dried it into dried fish to prepare as a betrothal gift. The fish maw was left for his future wife to eat during confinement. The one he caught now is 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."
Catfish is a high-end fish. Catfish weighing tens of kilograms or even over a hundred kilograms can be found but hard to come by. Generally, they weigh three or four kilograms. Five or six kilograms is considered good. The small ones in front of you weighed five or six kilograms.
The big one weighed over ten kilograms. It couldn't be compared with the one I caught before, but it was able to sell for a pretty good price.
Zhao Dahai picked the fish and threw it into the live water tank. After thinking for a while, he changed three hooks, but the thread was thicker and the hook door of the hook was wider. The owl was bigger and had a bigger mouth, so it struggled.
The strength of the hook is relatively strong, and the string hook used to catch yellow chicken or black sea bream weighing two to three kilograms 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 lowered 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 by trying this!”
Zhao Dahai waved his fist vigorously.
When fishing for Antarctic shrimp, I just wanted to see if I could catch some black bream or yellow chicken. If not, I would try to hit the bottom directly to see if there were groupers or other big bottom-dwelling fish. What I didn’t expect was a giant bream and a huge one.
It's not a small fish, it's a much more advanced fish than the black sea bream or yellow chicken 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 schools of breamfish 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 extremely busy.
Even though these are just two poles, and each pole only has three string hooks. The fish schools on the bottom of the sea are opening their mouths wildly, hanging on the string hooks of sea centipedes. As soon as they reach the water city, fish will bite them away immediately.
Without stopping.
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 and smashed 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 the sea centipede is hung on the hook, if you are not careful, the hand holding the sea centipede will be bitten.
Every fisherman's hands are bruised, sometimes from fish bites, scratches from fish fins, or simply bites from sea centipedes and the like.
Zhao Dahai picked up another sea centipede, 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 you just run away like this? Isn’t that too disrespectful?
Zhao Dahai looked at the fish detector and saw scattered fish. These were really passing fish. 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 school of eel fish is very huge, most of them are good in size, weighing ten or eight pounds, and they are crazy about fishing. As long as you can fish for half a day, you can make a lot of money.
It's a pity that these were just passing fish, and the school of fish didn't stop at all. All in all, we only spent more than an hour fishing. 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 simply threw it directly on the deck at his feet. He picked them 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 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 time for lunch, so he continued fishing. As soon as he 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 sea water around me, 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 to me, this kind of fish has no value.
, don’t sell it in the market, take it back and feed it to the cats, the cats won’t like to eat 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. It was like a jumping fish, jumping forward and swimming forward. In the blink of an eye,
disappeared for a while.
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, with a live shrimp as big as two fingers hung on the hook.
What I caught in the water layer of 110 meters is the dolphin fish. Now I will 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 a lot of Antarctic shrimps. It is impossible to eat them all. I am sure.
Many of them fell to the bottom of the sea, to the depths of the bottom trench, and there might be big fish coming over.
Zhao Dahai looked at the fish detector and drove the speedboat to adjust for a while to ensure that 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 up.
I checked the pole and found it was not hanging on the bottom. I pulled up another two meters of line to make sure 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 wasted?
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, and looked at the sea, wondering whether he should try somewhere else next.
got windy?
Is there a wave?
Not a waste!
It’s Yong!
Zhao Dahai watched carefully for a while. The entire sea surface continued to bulge and then sink again, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
People who go out to sea are afraid of wind and waves, but swells are more troublesome. If the wind is lighter or the waves are smaller, especially if they are not white-headed waves, there won't be much of a problem. The scary thing about swells is that it is very uncomfortable for people on speedboats. Don't say that it doesn't matter to people who rarely go to sea.
People who often go out to sea to fish will also get seasick if the weather is too high.
I won’t go to other fishing spots!
Zhao Dahai originally thought about whether to go to other fishing spots to try, but 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 to waste time, and the other was right in front of him.
If this fishing spot is swelled, the fish on the bottom of the sea, especially big fish such as groupers, are likely to become more aggressive. This 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 differences 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 path that could "open" from the first point to the last point in one go.
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.
Go all the way to 110 meters.
Zhao Dahai controlled the speedboat with his left hand and floated forward along the swell.
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 rebounding and straightening, 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 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 bulging, 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 moment the fishing rod passed over this point, the fishing rod bent.
Zhao Dahai immediately pushed the switch with his right hand to retract the line, and steadily controlled the speedboat with his left hand. He left the mark and pulled a fish 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 similar to a mouse, which is a bit unsightly and even a bit obscene.
But it is definitely a top-quality fish. The price is not as good as that of red spot, but the difference is not big.
Zhao Dahai held the line with his hand and pulled it to the side of the speedboat. He immediately picked it up with the net, took off the hook and put it into the living cabin.
"What the hell!"
"too difficult!"
"It's not easy to catch this fish!"
Zhao Dahai shouted excitedly, and the speedboat suddenly flew up and then crashed back into the sea. He lost his balance and almost fell down.
No way!?
Is it such a big surge?
Will the fish come at this time?
To fish or not to fish?
Zhao Dahai held on to the side of the boat, and the swell on the sea surface became larger and larger, at least more than half a meter.
If there were no fish, I would have to go back immediately, but now I have caught fish, and what I caught is a very valuable rat spot.
Dry!
Walk!
go back!
Run quickly!
Zhao Dahai hesitated for a moment, glanced at the rat spots in the 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 expression suddenly changed. He leaned on the side of the boat with both hands and bent down to vomit. He vomited out yellow bile and water, and then he stopped when his stomach was clean and nothing was found.
Zhao Dahai took a bottle of water and rinsed his mouth, then drank the rest. The swell was so big that it was very uncomfortable to run back all the way. His stomach was so turbulent that even the veteran 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. He put all the yellow chickens and catfish in the refrigerator, and put the rat spots 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 to come here now.
Zhao Dahai had just finished dinner when Wu Weimin's car had already arrived at the door.
After Wu Weimin saw the fish, yellow chicken and catfish were priced at 200 yuan per catty, and Rat Spot was directly priced at 700 yuan per catty.
"Yo!"
"Are rat spots so expensive?"
Zhao Dahai didn't expect rat spots to be so valuable, as they were already worth as much as red spots.
"hehe!"
"In some places, there is a saying about the four kings of fish, which refers to Su Mei, Red Spot and Tsing Yi, Rat Spot."
"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 rat spots in the live fish pond. He knew very well how delicious this fish was.
Zhao Dahai took the scale and all the fish passed the scale.
"One hundred and seventy-two pounds and three taels of yellow chicken and eel fish, 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 fishing was too depressing. He briefly talked about today's fishing process.
Yellow chicken?
Caught a lot.
Anchovy!
Caught a lot!
Plus a rat patch weighing about ten pounds.
Have you made money?
Make money 100% and make a lot of money.
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 minnows?
The catch was good, but it was a passing fish and it was gone in more than 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 away.
Are there no dolphins to disrupt the situation when fishing for yellow chicken?
Is the catfish caught not a passing fish?
When fishing for rat spots, are there no swells or should the swells not be that big?
No matter which one goes 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.
I went out fishing with Xu Yuanjiang and then left.
"What the hell!"
"Continue going 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.
