Chapter 189 The target appears: like a snake with gray back and white belly

Early in the morning.

Just after six o'clock, Zhao Dahai got up, opened the courtyard door, cleaned up inside and out, washed the pond in the corner used to feed fish, and went around the vegetable garden behind the house. It was re-reinforced yesterday. The newly driven bamboo stakes are about half a meter in the ground and are very stable. However, if there is a big typhoon, we still have to dump them. The vegetable seeds that have been sprinkled for a few days have begun to germinate. They can be done in about a week. After transplanting, it won't take long to have a garden full of edible vegetables. The chickens started running around happily again in the chicken pen. Yesterday I took a look at the forest on the mountain. The trees that had been knocked down by the typhoon and could no longer grow were cut down and piled back behind the house. If they could be used, they could not be used for cooking.

Zhao Dahai returned to the yard. He will go out to sea tomorrow to release hooks. He has to make preparations. He took a few large buckets and small buckets, put them on the tricycle and drove to the seaside. Many fishing boats came back from fishing, and the typhoon landed. It was five days ago. I haven’t gone 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 there are quite a lot of wind and waves in the sea. Grandma Zhong Cuihua didn’t say anything but was worried in her heart. She promised Ding Xiaoxiang that she might as well stay at home. Stayed for a few more days.

Zhao Dahai walked around and saw that some people had gone out to sea two days ago, but there were really not many fish, shrimps and crabs. When he saw a dragon head fish, he immediately bought thirty kilograms, which is about the size of a finger. The small fish are relatively cheap and will be used tomorrow when setting out the hooks. I also bought thirty kilograms of mud shrimps the size of little fingers. I don’t need live ones, but 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 the 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.

"Grandma."

"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 I will go to sea tomorrow.

"Okay!"

"Go!"

"Are you planning to put the hook?"

Zhong Cuihua looked at the open foam box containing Dragonhead fish and small mud shrimp.

“Just a few days after the typhoon.”

"I just took a look at the pier. The fishing boats out to sea put out fishing nets and no one caught many fish."

"The fishing won't be very good."

"Try putting out some hooks and saying Don’t catch more fish.”

Zhao Dahai plans to release the hook 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, the hooks are released to cover a wider sea surface 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 dragon head fish and the other to hang the small mud shrimp. Grandma Zhong Cuihua saw her walking over and said a few words I didn't want to listen, but I had to help, so I had to agree. Not all the hooks were hung, only ten baskets were hung. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when I finished hanging them, so I went to bed early.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Dahai rode a tricycle and arrived at the pier with ten baskets of hooks. Most of the fishing boats had already gone out to fish, and there were only a few boats left. The entire pier seemed empty. Without wasting time, the queues All the hooks were loaded onto the fishing boat and immediately went out to sea.

Zhao Dahai is driving a fishing boat. The sea is dark. Looking forward, the stars are all the lights of fishing boats. There are some surges on the sea. The fishing boats hit the sea one after another, splashing the sea water. It was very high, and the sea breeze blowing in front of me was a bit strong. The water mist hit my face and body directly, and my whole body was soaked after a while.

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 was a little bored. Now that he went to sea, he immediately became energetic.

Zhao Dahai did not drive too far, and slowed down in less than an hour. This area has a gravel bottom. Fishing boats will go farther, but fishing boats will not run away. This far away is just the right place to place the row hook.

Zhao Dahai picked up the buoy with the 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 the hooks with the leader fish and mud shrimp were hung one by one and placed into the sea. go.

The most important thing when placing the hook is to straighten the main line. If the main line is not straight, it will all be tangled together and you will not be able to catch fish. One person has to drive a fishing boat and release the hook. It is not easy. You can do it even 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 brought and rested while eating. He had to pull the hook for a while, and it took several hours. He should have eaten earlier.

Zhao Dahai took a break after eating and drinking some water. He drove the fishing boat back to the place where the first basket was lined with hooks. He took the hook, hooked the buoy, and pulled it to the fishing boat. He pulled up the lead weight and put it away. Go into the basket, start to collect the main thread, and put it in the basket in circles, so that you don’t have to rearrange it the next time you put it.

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 row 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, now there are no fish, no matter how big or small.

Zhao Dahai continued to collect the row hooks. The first basket was all finished without any fish. He was a little disappointed. He looked around carefully and remembered this place. I will definitely not come here to put the row hooks next time. If you don't come here to fish, if there is a hook every ten meters for 500 meters, this is fifty hooks. You can't catch even a small fish, it can 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.

No fish on the first hook.

The second hook has no fish.

I connected twenty hooks, but still no fish.

Zhao Dahai was a little depressed now. The hook of the second basket was almost halfway pulled, but there was still no fish at all. The harvest was too dismal.

Zhao Dahai took a short rest, picked up the water glass, drank some water, and pulled seven or eight more hooks in succession.

“Here it comes!”

“Finally there are fish!”

"Black sea bream!"

Zhao Dahai held the main line with his right hand and felt a fish struggling and moving, shaking and shaking. This is the typical movement of black sea bream after taking the bait. He pulled it out of the water and took a look. , it turned out to be a big black seabream 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 saw that it was a small mud shrimp.

There are two kinds of bait hung on the hook, one is small mud shrimp and the other is dragonhead fish. This is the first time I put the hook on. I don’t know what the fish in this sea like to eat. bait.

The first fish I caught was a small mud shrimp. If most of the fish that are hooked next eat small mud shrimps, the next time the hook is released, 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 rows of hooks.

Zhao Dahai finished collecting the hooks in the second basket, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled bitterly. He was happy a little too early. He caught a black sea bream weighing about two kilograms. The next dozens of hooks he caught only one. A small yellow snapper as big as three fingers, a sand pointed fish and a golden drum fish. Not to mention making money, this kind of harvest is 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 and received the sixth place where the hook was released.

Isn’t it true that he has less 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. Looking at the current situation, he really wanted to Too much and 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 snapper, yellow snapper, etc.

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!"

"Really!"

Zhao Dahai was surprised and happy, it was him who took the bait The target fish for setting the hook this time was as thick as an arm, with a long snake-like body, a gray back and a white belly.
