Chapter 177 Hundreds of boats competing before the typhoon
Zhao Dahai boarded Zhong Shizhu’s fishing boat and took a look. He was really preparing a hand wire fishing rig. It is very simple, a three-way eight-shaped ring and one end. Tie the main line, tie the sub-line at one end, tie a hook on the sub-line, and hang the lead pendant in the remaining place.
"Uncle Shizhu."
"What are you doing? Are you planning to come fishing?"
Zhao Dahai said while looking at Liu Bin on the fishing boat next door. He and Lei Dayou were both tying hand wire fishing rigs, and the other ten or eight fishing boats around were doing the same thing. These fishing boats usually all went out to sea for fishing, but now they all switched to fishing.
Zhong Shizhu pointed to the northwest corner, where someone caught a red spot.
Zhao Dahai suddenly realized. There is a place in the sea in the northwest corner of the village with several small islands. The bottom of the sea is full of large and small reefs, which are most suitable for groupers or other bottom fish to grow. However, groupers and other bottom fish usually hide on the rocks. In the hole, it is not easy to fish or capture.
It is now the eve of a major typhoon, and the swell in the sea is very strong. Groupers or other bottom fish that usually hide in holes cannot bear to come out, so the chance of catching them is very high.
“The sea.”
“With typhoon weather, you can’t catch any fish elsewhere, why don’t we go to that place to try our luck together?!”
Zhong Shizhu tied a hook, bit the thread with his teeth and pulled hard.
Zhao Dahai was moved when he heard this. I fished well in the oyster field today, but before I came back, someone had already followed suit. Everyone will definitely be fishing at the bottom of the pile tomorrow, and there will be more fish than enough. The key is that I fished once today, and it is really unlikely that there will be many fish tomorrow. When I came back, I was thinking about where to go fishing in the days before the typhoon. Zhong Shizhu's proposal was exactly what he wanted. The price of grouper or other bottom fish is relatively high, and you can make money if you catch one, two, or two pounds each in a day.
Zhao Dahai asked Zhong Shizhu to help him look at the fishing boats. He quickly went home and drove a tricycle over. He caught the black sea bream and put it in the water tank. He put the oysters he bought in baskets and moved them to the car. Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin I made an agreement with Lei Dayou to treat everyone to dinner when the typhoon comes and I can't go to sea.
Zhao Dahai returned home and put the oysters in baskets in the corner of the wall, out of the sun. They would not die after ten or eight days. When the typhoon came, he would invite Zhong Shizhu and the others to eat. They would still be alive. The black sea bream is kept in a live fish pond. The panzi caught yesterday will not be sold for now. The dead black sea bream caught today are all kept in the refrigerator and will be sold in two days when there are not many fishing boats going out to sea. The price At least 20% higher.
Zhao Dahai hurried out on a tricycle, rushed to the town and went directly to the fishing tackle shop. The probability of fishing in the reef area is very high, so you must prepare enough fishing lines, fish hooks and lead pendants. It was not enough, so I bought fishing line, fish hooks and lead weights of size 20 and 30. Fishing with hand wire is easy, but you have to buy suitable fishing lines and fish hooks. I don’t know whether the current will be strong or fast tomorrow, and the various weights. All lead pendants must be prepared.
Zhao Dahai finished buying fishing lines, fish hooks and lead weights, and bought twenty kilograms of live shrimps, all of which were prawns as big as two fingers. He also bought some other things useful for fishing before going home.
Night.
The fishing village is very quiet after dark.
Occasionally you can hear dogs barking or children crying.
The weather is very muggy.
Zhao Dahai tied a fishing rig with hand wire in the yard.
The number 20 fishing line is tied with five pairs, and the number 30 fishing line is tied with five pairs.
The remaining spare hooks and lead weights were all sorted, and I also took a few pairs of labor protection gloves, which are indispensable for hand fishing, and they were all arranged neatly.
Hand string is a traditional fishing rig that does not use a fishing rod but fishes directly by pulling the main line with your hands. There will definitely be a lot of fishing boats on the reef tomorrow. The fishing rod cannot be extended and it is very easy to bump into other people's fishing boats. The hand wire fishing group is very flexible and more convenient. In addition, the advantage of fishing with hand wire is that you can know immediately whether a fish has taken the bait by the feeling on your fingers. The disadvantage is that once a fish takes the bait, especially a big fish, without the elastic buffer of the fishing rod, the probability of the fish running away will be very high.
“Grandma.”
"I will go out to sea early tomorrow morning to go fishing."
"That place on the sea reef. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and others will go together in their fishing boat."
Zhao Dahai talked about his plan to go out to sea tomorrow. If I was alone, I would definitely not go fishing. I would just fish nearby so that I could not catch him and save my grandma Zhong Cuihua from worrying.
“Okay.”
“I got it!”
Zhong Cuihua nodded. There was a typhoon, but the distance was relatively far. It was impossible to hide at home all the time. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da walked together, so it was very safe.
Zhao Dahai tidied up his things, packed them up, looked at the black sea bream in the fish pond, which was oxygenated and filtered by a water pump, and was jumping around. He opened the refrigerator and looked to see if there was no ice, then covered it again and went to bed early. .
Zhao Dahai got up at four o'clock in the morning to cook breakfast, pack rice, go out with the hand wire fishing gear, live shrimps and other things for fishing that he prepared yesterday, get on the fishing boat, and lay out the fishing gear. , live shrimps were kept in the living cabin. Just after finishing their work, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Da came together. They were all veterans and they were ready in less than ten minutes.
Zhong Shizhu shouted, and the fishing boat was the first to leave the dock. Lei Dayou and Liu Bin followed, and Zhao Dahai followed last.
It was just after five in the morning.
It was pitch black on the sea.
Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat and looked forward. Outside the fishing boats of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, there were many other fishing boats. When he looked back behind him, there were also many fishing boats following.
Before the typhoon, there were not many places to fish. People who fished knew how to fish, and people who went out to sea to put fishing nets to fish knew how to fish. In addition, news spread that valuable fish like red spots had been caught, and everyone gathered together.
Zhao Dahai’s face tensed up. He didn’t know how many people and fishing boats there would be when he arrived at the fishing spot.
The sky is getting brighter.
The swell was much bigger than yesterday, and the sea surface was undulating like a wheat field with constant waves of wheat.
Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat steadily, closely following Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou in front, and continued to drive forward to see several small islands in the distance.
Zhao Dahai wiped the seawater on his face and breathed a sigh of relief. The swell was relatively large, and the fishing boat bounced up and crashed back to the sea. It was difficult to control the direction of the fishing boat. Every time the fishing boat bounced up, it crashed back to the sea. It's like a hammer on the chest. I can accept one or two blows, but dozens or hundreds of blows in succession are very uncomfortable and I really want to spit it out.
Zhao Dahai saw Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou in front of him slowing down, and immediately relaxed the throttle. The speed of the fishing boat immediately slowed down. Looking forward, he saw the visible sea surface. One fishing boat followed another. Dry!
There must be more than fifty fishing boats, right?
Zhao Dahai was a little stunned. I knew there would be a lot of fishing boats, but I didn't expect there to be so many. I looked back behind me and saw that more fishing boats were coming.
“Hahahahaha!”
“The sea!”
“At this time of year, there must be at least two to three hundred fishing boats in this place .”
"Looking across the entire sea, you can't even see the end. Where it is."
Liu Bin looked at Zhao Dahai on the fishing boat next to him and laughed loudly.
“Hey!”
“What can you say?”
“Let’s do it!”
Zhao Dahai shook his head.
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou knew that Zhao Dahai had rich experience in fishing. Before going out to sea, they had already talked about things that should be paid attention to here, especially the "rules" of fishing here. There was no verbosity, four people and four boats. The fishing boats immediately made preparations and started fishing.
Zhao Dahai came here to fish for the first time, but after looking at the fishing boats around him, he knew how to fish. There was a sea area in the middle of several small islands with obviously more surging and flowing water than other places around it. The bigger the bigger the more urgent. Zhong Shizhu said that there is not much flowing water in this place usually. Only when there is a strong typhoon, there will be big flowing water. Live shrimps are hung on the hooks, and the fishing boats drive into the flowing water and swell area. With the flowing water and swell, Float forward.
Zhao Dahai threw the lead pendant into the sea, followed by the hung live shrimp. After waiting for a long time, he finally reached the bottom. The water was 30 meters deep. He pulled it up, but it didn't move. He pulled it again hard. , motionless, very helpless, I taught myself a lesson as soon as I came, and I got hung up on the first move.
Zhao Dahai didn’t hesitate. The line in his hand was directly wrapped around an iron hook on the side of the fishing boat. The No. 20 line could not be broken by his own hands. He used the weight of the fishing boat to slowly tighten it and break it. , pulled it up and took a look, not to mention that the hook and lead pendant were missing, ten meters of the main line was broken, and dozens of fish scales were missing at once.
Zhao Dahai shook his head. Fishing in reef areas, especially unfamiliar reef areas, is such a virtue. He accidentally caught the bottom, put away the line, and immediately picked up another line group that had been tied earlier to hang the live shrimp. Keep fishing.
The surge is getting bigger and bigger.
The fishing boat undulated even more. It rose to the top of the swell, and then fell down. You were suspended in the air, and there was a feeling of weightlessness. But immediately the fishing boat hit the sea and the reaction force hit you. It was extremely uncomfortable. .
Zhao Dahai looked around. On many fishing boats, many people were hunched over the side of the boat, and there were waves of vomiting. With such a gushing, anyone could get seasick.
Zhao Dahai gritted his teeth, his stomach was churning, and he swallowed it hard when it reached his throat. At this moment, the thread in his hand tightened, and he immediately pulled it hard without moving.
Dry!
Hanged again!
Zhao Dahaibai was excited for a while, thinking that a fish was taking the bait, but he was hooked on the bottom again. The line was wrapped around the side of the boat and the iron hook broke it, and he put away the line. This time he was lucky, but it broke. The sub-line, the lead pendant has not fallen off, hold the line with your fingers and smooth it, there are no burrs, it is intact. No matter whether it is the sub-line or the main line that is broken in a place like the reef, you must check it when you pull it up, and cut off any burrs to avoid unnecessary damage. If you catch a fish and the line breaks, you can only pat your thigh. If you catch a big fish or catch a valuable fish, you may only get one bite in a day. If you miss it if the line breaks, you will regret it.
Zhao Dahai looked at the time and it was almost noon. It was the lunch time that he had agreed with Zhong Shizhu and the others. The fishing boat sailed out of the flowing water area sandwiched between several small islands and arrived at the place where the boat stopped when it came in the morning. After searching for a while, Zhong Shizhu and others had already come out, chatting and smoking, so they drove over immediately.
“Do it!”
"This fish is too difficult to catch!"
......
"I was hung up!"
"I was hung up more than a dozen times in the morning!"
"The fish was not caught and one or two hundred dollars was lost!"
...
"Are there any fish in the sea? I don't see many fishing boats catching fish! There are no fish this year, right? If you don't make any money, you might as well stay at home!"< br>
……
“The flood is really big this year!”
“I vomited twice! I can’t eat!”
...
Zhao Dahai ate the rice in big gulps. He had to force himself down if he couldn't eat anymore. People are like iron rice and steel. If they don't eat enough, they won't have the energy to fish in the afternoon.
After Zhao Dahai finished eating, he immediately started tying the fishing gear. When he came out, five pairs of No. 20 lines and No. 30 lines were tied each. It took less than two hours to complete all the fishing groups. Later, he could only It's too troublesome to tie them now, so prepare more and do a good job in the afternoon, tying twenty pairs in one go.
Zhao Dahai tied up the fishing gear. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou wanted to rest for a while and made an appointment to go home together at this place at five o'clock. They drove the fishing boat to the flowing water area first.
“What the heck!”
"It's too bad not to believe!"
"I have to catch the fish!"
Zhao Dahai gritted his teeth and vowed to catch the fish.
Asking for monthly tickets and recommended votes! Thanks!
