Chapter 136: The true form of Big Fish that cuts off the line in seconds? !
Zhao Dahai arrived at the pier and got on the fishing boat. He was not in a hurry to leave. He organized all the things he brought and put them where they should be. After waiting for half an hour, fishing boats starting to go fishing came back. It took I spent more than 100 yuan to buy two kilograms of live shrimps as big as a finger and keep them in the live cabin for emergencies. Sea centipedes or Antarctic shrimps are only useful for certain fishes. Live shrimps or shrimp meat are truly universal. You can catch any kind of fish.
Zhao Dahai checked the diesel engine oil and the diesel oil in the spare oil drum. It was very sufficient. Everything was ready and there were no problems before leaving the dock.
Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat directly to the reef trench. It was not bright yet, but at a glance, there were already more than twenty fishing boats, just like the previous few days. They all arrived very early, and there would definitely be more soon.
Zhao Dahai knew that there was no chance of success today. There were too few places to fish in the shallow sea, especially to catch more fish. He was not the only one who knew that there were fish here. Almost everyone knew about it, but only a few of them knew about it. If you can accurately judge the location of the trench, you won't catch as many fish. Once there are many fishing boats here, it will be useless even if the gods come.
Zhao Dahai made a prompt decision and immediately drove the fishing boat away to farther and deeper seas. There was no rush and he did not plunge directly into the open sea. He had to take it step by step. When fishing or fishing, you must be familiar with the sea area. Choosing to fish at the beginning is not fishing but only fishing. The key to fishing in shallow sea is that you are not familiar with the surrounding sea area. If there are no fish in the shallow sea, you will indeed have to run farther, but you must take your time.
The sea is open and endless, and I don’t know where the end is. The color of the water is very clear, like a huge sapphire, very attractive.
Zhao Dahai looked at the time. It was one o'clock at noon. He looked back at where he came from. He could vaguely see the coastline in the distance. The main purpose of coming out today was to get familiar with the farther sea areas. In the sea I am most afraid of getting lost. I don’t have much experience. I can’t run too far at once. I must be able to see the coastline. It is very important to ensure this.
Zhao Dahai looked at the sea surface. It was very calm. There was no running water and no anchor. He only turned off the diesel engine so that the fishing boat would not float to other places. He took the lunch box and started to eat.
Huh?
Is there running water here?
After Zhao Dahai finished his meal, he stood up and walked on the deck. He felt that the fishing boat was moving. He looked at the sea surface carefully and confirmed that it was true. There was indeed flowing water. The fishing boat was indeed moving. He suddenly became excited. It was really happening. If it were flowing water, it wouldn't be the place I wanted to find.
Zhao Dahai spent a full hour driving the fishing boat back and forth five or six times to determine the scope of the flowing water. It was about less than ten meters wide and about five or six hundred meters long. The speed of the flowing water was very slow. The sea is as flat as a mirror and as wide as a mirror. There are no other small islands or reefs around, and there are no reference objects. Unless you stop the fishing boat and turn off the diesel engine, you will not be able to find it at all.
Is there a trench below this?
Zhao Dahai picked up the fishing rod, hung a sea centipede, and lowered it into the sea along the side of the ship. It took a while for the lead to reach the bottom, and the water depth was almost thirty meters.
Zhao Dahai waited for a while, but there was no movement. He swayed up and down three or five times, and suddenly a fish bit the hook. He raised the rod upwards. It was not too heavy, so it couldn't be a big fish. When he pulled it out of the water, he saw that it was a rock. Jiugong was quite big, weighing half a catty. He picked it off and hung it with a sea centipede. The next three or four fish were hooked on each pole, all of which were Shi Jiugong of about the same size.
Zhao Dahai is now sure that the place where the water flows under the fishing boat must be a reef. He is a little disappointed. If it is a trench, there may be big fish. Most of the reefs are Shi Jiugong or other fish, but , the Shi Jiugong here is big and can be sold at a good price. As long as there is a certain amount, you can actually make money.
Zhao Dahai took a piece of Shijiugong, cut it into small pieces with a knife, replaced the string hooks with five hooks, hung them all, shook them up and down a few times, and pulled them out of the water, making a string of three.
Zhao Dahai fished for two hours. The live cabin was full of red Shi Jiugong, and he scratched the back of his head hard.
Is Shi Jiugong worthless? We really have to see what size Shi Jiugong is!
Each of the Shijiugongs in the living cabin weighs almost half a catty, and the smallest ones weigh three or four taels. The key is that there are so many. Zhao Dahai took the big net and weighed it all up. It must be 17 or 18 pounds, which is enough for today's gas and vegetable money. It will definitely not make a loss.
Zhao Dahai carefully observed the almost invisible coastline in the distance, found a few reference objects that were obviously easy to remember, and determined the current position of the fishing boat. This is a good place, despite the flowing water. It's not particularly wide or long, but there are a lot of very large rocks underneath. A day's fishing here would weigh 180 kilograms, and you can make a lot of money.
Zhao Dahai looked at the time and decided to go back. The distance was quite far, so he had to go early. The surrounding waters were unfamiliar and it was very dangerous to operate a fishing boat at night.
Zhao Dahai shook the spinning wheel and quickly put away the string hook. Just after he had collected it less than three meters, he pulled the hook hard with a strong force and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
No way?
Are there any big fish here?
Zhao Dahai widened his eyes. Under his nose, the tip of the rod bent to ninety degrees in less than a second. The fishing line suddenly tightened, and a splash popped up on the water. But it went away as quickly as it came. The fishing line was loose and the entire fishing rig including the lead pendant had been torn and disappeared. It looked right when I put it away.
Zhao Dahai changed the pole and picked the thickest one he brought. The spinning wheel was equipped with No. 20 thread. There were big fish underneath. Take the time to give it a try. You can buy it live. Shrimps come in handy at this time. They are more effective than sea centipedes for catching big fish. I caught one and hung it on the hook. I put it in the same position in the sea. The lead dropped to the bottom and waited for a while without any movement.
Zhao Dahai raised the rod and pulled the live shrimp on the hook at the bottom of the sea. The exact same thing happened again. The tip of the rod bent to ninety degrees in seconds, and the fishing line was taut and a shrimp popped up on the water. The water splashed, and the fishing line became loose in the blink of an eye.
Big fish!
Definitely a big fish!
Zhao Dahai was very excited. He just used a No. 20 fishing line and it broke immediately. A small fish cannot do such a thing.
Will it be from Shi Ban?
Zhao Dahai watched as he pulled it up and the entire fishing group, including the lead pendant and the fishhook, disappeared. The break of the fishing line was a bit rough. It was pulled hard and it would have weighed at least thirty kilograms or even forty or fifty kilograms. A skill that only big fish can possess. There is a reef underneath. If there is a big fish and it has such strength, it is most likely a grouper.
Zhao Dahai really wanted to continue trying to see if he could catch a big fish, especially a big grouper. However, he suppressed the impulse for a while and realized that the thickest line he brought today was size 20, and he could catch it in seconds. There is no point in trying forcefully. It is one thing not to catch it. What is more troublesome is that if you get hooked and run away, you will be very vigilant. It will be twice as difficult to catch this fish next time.
Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat and left reluctantly. Next time, he must be prepared, with a No. 50 line and a strong enough pole, to try to catch the big fish on the bottom of the sea. See the true face of Mount Lushan.
