Chapter 285 Making money! But it’s hard to put it into words!
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 eliminated grouper. Groupers are bottom-dwelling fish, and they 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 in the water layer of 110 meters, and the depth of the sea water was at least At one hundred and twenty meters, even though it is only ten meters, these are two completely different worlds. Some fish will never live in a water layer above ten meters.
“Coming!”
“The fish is coming!”
Zhao Dahai saw the string hook with a depth of five or six meters and pulled up four fish, not counting them. It's extremely big, weighing seven to eight or ten pounds.
ah?
What kind of 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% that it was 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.
"Ancholine fish?"
"It's actually an owl fish?"
Zhao Dahai didn't expect to catch an owl fish here. He once caught a big one and dried it into dried fish for future use. As a betrothal gift, the fish maw is left for the future wife to eat during the confinement period. The one 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.”
Anchovy is a high-grade fish. It is hard to come by and find fish that weigh tens of kilograms or even over a hundred kilograms. Generally, three to four kilograms, five or six kilograms are considered good. The small ones in front of us weigh five or six kilograms, and the big ones are over ten kilograms. It can't be compared with the one I caught, but it can already be sold for a pretty good price.
Zhao Dahai picked the fish and threw it into the live water tank. After thinking about it, he changed three hooks to string hooks with thicker lines and wider hook doors. The squid is relatively large, and its mouth is relatively large, so its struggle is relatively strong. The string hook used to catch yellow chicken or two or three kilograms of black sea bream 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.
“Come on!”
“Look how many dolphins there are under here!”
Zhao Dahai re-released the line and put it directly to the dolphin fish he just caught. 110 meters of water layer.
“Coming!”
"It's really a school of fish! And it's a big school of fish!"
As soon as Zhao Dahai released the water layer, the tip of the rod immediately shook, and in the blink of an eye, there were three heavy bites, and he immediately pushed the switch Take up the line.
Zhao Dahai was very excited. Every moment the electric winch rotated, the fishing rod bent downward very much. The total number of fish hooked must weigh at least thirty or forty kilograms.
“That’s great!”
“I didn’t expect that I could just try to catch a squid like this!”
Zhao Dahai waved his fist vigorously.
The purpose of fishing for Antarctic shrimp is to see if you can catch some black snapper or yellow chicken. If not, try tapping the bottom directly to see if there are groupers or other large bottom-dwelling fish. What I didn't expect to see was the dolphin fish, and it was quite big. This fish is much more advanced than the black sea bream or yellow rooster found 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 schools of owl fish gathered under the speedboat.
“Hurry!”
“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. Put it down immediately.
Zhao Dahai is very busy.
Don’t look at it, these are just two poles, and each pole only has three string hooks. The shoals of fish on the bottom of the sea opened their mouths wildly, hanging on the string hooks of sea centipedes. As soon as they reached the water city, the fish would immediately bite them away, and they would not stop at all.
Zhao Dahai’s forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans. His clothes 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 and he couldn’t bear it anymore. Wipe the collar.
"Fuck!"
"Another bite!"
Zhao Dahai shook it hard, and the sea centipede in his hand hit the deck hard, smashing it to pieces. .
The sea centipede is indeed a small insect, but do not underestimate the sea centipede because its teeth are very sharp. When fishing, especially when a sea centipede is hung on the hook, if you are not careful, your hand holding the sea centipede will be bitten.
Every fisherman’s hands are bruised, sometimes from fish bites or fish fin scratches, or simply 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 fish being hooked was getting smaller and smaller. At the beginning, he could catch three fish in a minute or two, and then only one fish was hooked in five or six minutes.
No way?
A school of passing fish?
Did you just run away like this? Isn’t that too disrespectful?
Zhao Dahai looked at the fish detector and saw scattered fish flowers. These were really passing fish schools. 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 is a little depressed.
The school of owl fish is very huge, most of them are good in size, weighing ten or eight pounds, and they are talking like crazy. As long as you can fish for half a day, you can make a lot of money.
Unfortunately, this was just a passing fish, and the school of fish did not stop at all. It only took more than an hour of fishing together. 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 directly on the deck at his feet and picked them up. Pick up all the living things in the living water tank and put them in the refrigerator together. The anchovy and black sea bream are even different from the yellow chickens. They are not easy to feed and more importantly, there is 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 really 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 handled it. He would not handle 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. When he just walked to the cockpit and looked forward, he found that there were fish in the water around the speedboat, group after group. They are all very big, each one is more than one meter long, and the golden color is very beautiful.
“I am surrounded by fish!”
“It’s a pity that this fish can’t be sold at all!”
Zhao Dahai was very excited at first. When he saw clearly what kind of fish it was, a basin of cold water was poured on his forehead.
Ghost knife!
There are groups of ghost-headed knives in the sea water around the speedboat. 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. Not to mention selling it in the market, even cats won’t like to eat it if I take it back to feed it.
“Amazing!”
“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, like a jumping fish, jumping forward and swimming forward, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
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. A live shrimp as big as two fingers was hung on the hook.
The fish caught in the 110-meter water layer is catfish. Now let’s 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 so many Antarctic shrimps that it is impossible to eat them all. Many of them must have fallen to the bottom of the sea, and to the depths of the bottom trench. Maybe there will be big fish coming.
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. The line on the fishing rod changed. Songcai stopped, raised the pole, and found that it was not hooked on the bottom. He pulled up another two meters of line to make sure that it was not hooked on the bottom. He couldn't help but think of the sunken spot where he fished two days ago. The reef area was really good, and he would hook on the bottom. But the probability is really too low.
Are there really no fish?
So many Antarctic shrimps were all in vain?
Zhao Dahai waited for a while, but no fish took the bait.
What to do?
Go to other fishing spots?
Zhao Dahai stood up straight, squinted his eyes, and looked at the sea, wondering whether he should try somewhere else next.
The wind is blowing?
Is there a wave?
Not a wave!
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 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 a big problem. The scary part is that the people on the speedboat are very uncomfortable. Don't say that people who rarely go to sea, even those who often go to sea to fish, will still get seasick if the weather increases.
Don’t go to other fishing spots!
Zhao Dahai originally thought about whether to go to other fishing spots to try. When he saw a swell on the sea, he simply stayed and tried again. One is that it would not necessarily be possible to fish if he went to other places now to waste time. After getting fish, another fishing spot in front of you will surge. The fish on the bottom of the sea, especially the big fish such as grouper, are very 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 drops 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 line that could "open" from the first point to the last point at one time. line.
Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat and returned to a position about thirty meters in front of the first point. He picked up the live shrimps he had hung earlier and put them into the sea. The ten-pound lead pendant drove them down quickly. Shen disappeared in the blink of an eye, until he reached one hundred and ten 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, and immediately released the line when he saw that it was about to overlap. When he saw the bent fishing rod rebounding and straightening, he immediately began to reel in The line is pulled one meter away from the bottom of the sea.
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 and did not get hung up. Bottom, but no fish.
Zhao Hai controlled the direction of the speedboat and floated to the third, fourth and fifth points. He bottomed out at every point and found no fish at all.
Time passed by 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 rising and then sinking.
Zhao Dahai wiped the seawater from his face. The clothes on his body were already soaked, and his face was very serious. He decided to float for the last time. If there were no fish, he would leave immediately.
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 took the time to float to the first point. Going down, the fishing rod bent down the moment the speedboat slid over the first point.
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!
Good stuff!
Mouse spots!
Mouse spot is a type of grouper. It has a smaller head, a pointed mouth, and round eyes. In addition, the fish’s back is a bit hunched. It looks very similar to a mouse, but it doesn’t look a bit weird. It looks good, even a little 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 pulled 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!"
"It's too difficult!"
"It's not easy to catch this fish!"
Zhao Dahai shouted excitedly, and the speedboat fiercely It flew up from the ground and then crashed back into the sea. I couldn't stand firm and almost fell
No way! ?
Is it such a big surge?
Is there fish coming at this time?
To fish or not to fish?
Zhao Dahai held the side of the ship, 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 a fish, and what I caught is a very valuable rat spot.
Dry!
Let’s go!
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.
4pm.
The sun sets in the west.
Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat slowly to the dock. As soon as it stopped, his face 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 found nothing in his stomach. Stop.
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. My stomach was so full 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, picked up the fish he caught today, and put all the yellow chicken and catfish in the refrigerator. , Mouse Ban put the water tank, moved them all 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 come over now.
Zhao Dahai had just finished dinner when Wu Weimin’s car had already arrived at the door.
After Wu Weimin saw the fish, the yellow chicken and catfish were priced at 200 yuan per catty, while the rat spot was directly priced at 700 yuan per catty.
“Yo!”
"Mouse spots are so expensive?"
Zhao Dahai didn't expect that mouse spots were so valuable, as they were already as valuable as red spots.
“Haha!”
“In some places, there is a saying of the four kings of fish, which refers to Su Mei, Red Spot, Tsing Yi, and Rat Spot.”
“Rat Spot He is the leader of the four kings.”
"Do you think it's valuable?"
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 catties and three taels of yellow chicken and eel fish, thirty-four thousand four hundred and sixty yuan."
"Nine catties and seven taels of rat spots, six thousand seven hundred Ninety dollars.”
"The total is 41,250 yuan."
Wu Weimin settled the account, took the money from the car and gave it to Zhao Dahai.
“Huh?”
“Zhao Dahai.”
“Why do you think you are a little unhappy?”
"You don't think you made less money today, do you?"
Wu Weimin was a little surprised to see Zhao Dahai unhappy.
Zhao Dahai sighed and shook his head, but it was not because he made less money, but because he was too depressed about fishing. He briefly talked about today's fishing process.
Yellow chicken?
Caught a lot.
Anchovy!
Caught a lot!
Plus a rat spot weighing about ten pounds.
Have you made any money?
100% money and a lot of money.
But it’s really hard to put into words.
While fishing for yellow chicken, Kuangkou, a group of dolphins appeared, disrupting the situation.
Fishing for fish?
The fishing 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 rise and it was very big. 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?
The catfish caught is not a passing fish?
When fishing for rat spots, there is no swell or the swell should not be that big?
No matter which one goes more smoothly, you will earn more than this today!
Wu Weimin now knew 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, so he chatted for a few words and reminded I found a time to take myself and Xu Yuanjiang out for fishing in the sea and left.
"What the hell!"
"Continue tomorrow! If you don't accept it, just keep doing it!"
After Zhao Dahai finished eating, he went to bed early and decided to get up at three o'clock in the morning tomorrow and continue to go to sea.
