Chapter 137 Late window! Fish in water!
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 there was an error in the time. The plan was to return to the pier at five or six o'clock. It is already over seven It's close to eight o'clock, and it is very dangerous to operate a fishing boat at night.
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.
“Pa!”
Zhao Dahai was startled. A loud sound suddenly sounded on the sea. The sound of the diesel engine was very noisy, but it was still audible. It was like a big stone hitting the sea. , looked around, there was no fishing boat, it couldn't have been smashed by someone else.
illusion?
Have you heard hallucinations?
Zhao Dahai frowned.
“Bang!”
Zhao Dahai heard it clearly now and immediately turned off the diesel engine.
"Crack!"
......
"Crack!"
......
"Crack!"
...
Zhao Dahai stood on the fishing boat and stared at the southeast. 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 light up 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 the sea bass season has begun and the sea bass has returned to these waters.
Zhao Dahai has not gone there. It is night now and he cannot see clearly. The key is that it is late. If he does not go home, grandma Zhong Cuihua will be very worried. She is already restless. If it is too late, she may have to ask someone to go out to sea to find her. It's important to make money for yourself, but nothing compares to your 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 area was relatively familiar. He slowly remembered that it was the sea opposite the reef area at the east end of the village. He remembered it before driving. The fishing boat returned to the dock, packed up the fishing boat, caught half a catty of Shi Jiugong caught today, and put it in a bucket for home.
Zhao Dahai saw his grandma Zhong Cuihua from a distance, standing at the door of the yard, looking constantly. She was waiting for him, and he immediately quickened his pace.
"Grandma."
"I ran a little further today. Mainly because I am inexperienced. I guess I came back late because of the bad time."
Zhao Dahai said the reason why he came back late, no People in fishing villages say they don't need to worry. As long as someone goes to sea and doesn't come back, everyone in the family will be very worried. This doesn't mean you won't really worry about it, not to mention that your family's situation is special.
Zhao Dahai carried the bucket into the yard and walked to the fish pond. Shi Jiugong was different from other fish. Whether it was caught by fishing or using a fishing net, including a cage, he wanted to It’s not easy to feed them. The chances are higher if the water depth is a few meters in shallow sea. 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 other things grew very tall and had many knots. Not to mention the green vegetables, they were all green. He didn’t have any. Grandma Zhong Cuihua took care of me all the time. She watered the chickens and watched them grow bigger. The chicken coop 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. Shoulders high.
Zhao Dahai took a walk and went home to sleep. He has to get up very early tomorrow. Life in the fishing village is simple and boring. He has something to do today and goes to bed early if he has nothing to do. He has 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 that sea bass were attacking. water, and finally decided to try fishing for sea bass first, and then go fishing for big fish if I couldn’t catch it.
Zhao Dahai spent some time and found the location where he heard the fish hitting the water last night. He could see it very clearly during the day. 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 fishing net with a fixed position that can be raised and lowered. It can be lowered when the tide rises. The fish will enter the fishing net with the rising sea water. Before the sea begins to recede, fishermen come over 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 gradually 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. It extends all the way to the depths of the sea.
Could this be 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 your 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 running water 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 and is very picky. Basically, they only eat live bait, and the hook is hung on the shrimp gun, so that the shrimp can live for a long time.
Zhao Dahai throws the pole 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 from the bottom. In this way, the live shrimp on the hanging line are always "floating" swimming in the water. It can swim within a fixed length range of the sub-line and attract sea bass to prey on it. 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 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 further and further away from the bottom. high.
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 spot where the fish is, and the other is to find the water layer where the fish is. If there is no fish, you will definitely not be able to catch the fish. However, if there are fish, In some places, you can't catch floating shrimps even if the water layer is wrong. The difference is one and a half meters, which is a huge difference.
Zhao Dahai started the diesel engine. If he couldn't catch fish in one place for two hours, he would try another place.
