Chapter 189 The Target Appears: Like a Snake with Gray Back and White Belly

early morning.

Just after six o'clock, Zhao Dahai got up, opened the door to the yard, cleaned up inside and out, washed the pond in the corner used to feed fish, and went around the vegetable garden behind the house. The fence had been reinforced yesterday and new The bamboo stakes driven into the ground are about half a meter long and are very stable. However, if there is a big typhoon, you will still have to pour them down. The vegetable seeds that have been sprinkled for a few days have begun to germinate and can be transplanted in about a week. It won’t take much. Time is full of vegetables that can be eaten in the garden. The chickens began to run around happily in the chicken pen again. 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 and planned to go out to sea tomorrow to release hooks. He had to make preparations. He took a few large buckets and small buckets, put them on the tricycle and drove to the beach. Many fishing boats came back from fishing. The typhoon made landfall five days ago. Things, I haven't been out to sea these days. One is that there are not many fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea, and the other is that there are a lot of wind and waves in the sea. Grandma Zhong Cuihua doesn't say anything but is worried in her heart. She promised Ding Xiaoxiang that she might as well stay at home for a few more days. .

Zhao Dahai walked around and saw that people had gone out to sea two days ago, but there were really not many fish, shrimps and crabs. When he saw a dragonhead fish, he immediately bought thirty kilograms. This is a small fish about the size of a finger and is relatively cheap. , I’ll need it tomorrow when I put out the hooks, and I also bought thirty pounds of mud shrimps the size of little fingers. I don’t need live ones, 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.

"grandmother."

"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 he would go to sea tomorrow.

"OK!"

"Go!"

"Are you planning to release the row hook?"

Zhong Cuihua looked at the dragonhead fish and small mud shrimps in the open foam box.

"The typhoon has just passed for a few days."

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

"Fishing won't be very good."

"Try putting some row hooks, maybe you can catch more fish."

Zhao Dahai plans to release the row hook 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 that he had tied a few days ago to hang the bait, one hook to hang the dragonhead fish and the other to hang the small mud shrimp. When his grandma Zhong Cuihua saw him coming over, she said a few words and refused to listen, insisting that she I can only agree to help. Not all the rows of hooks were hung, only ten baskets were hung. It was already 11 o'clock in the evening after hanging, so I went to bed early.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Dahai rode a tricycle and brought ten baskets of hooks to the dock. Most of the fishing boats had already gone out to fish, and there were only a few boats left. The entire dock seemed empty. Without wasting time, all the hooks were loaded onto the fishing boats. Go to sea.

Zhao Dahai was driving a fishing boat. The sea was dark. Looking forward, the lights of fishing boats were all dotted. There were some surges on the sea. The fishing boats hit the sea one after another. The splashing sea water was very high and blew towards them. The sea breeze was a bit strong, and the mist hit my face and body directly, making me completely soaked in a short time.

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

Zhao Dahai didn't drive too far, and slowed down in less than an hour. This place has a gravel bottom, and fishing boats will run a little farther. Row hook.

Zhao Dahai picked up the buoy of the row hook and threw it into the sea, followed by the lead pendant tied to one end of the row hook. The fishing boat moved forward slowly, and the hooks on which the dragon head fish and mud shrimp were hung were dropped into the sea one by one. 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 get tangled together, making it impossible 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 continue to put the row hooks of another basket. After putting 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 had brought and rested while eating. He had to pull the hook for a while, and it took several hours to pull it. He should have eaten earlier.

After eating, Zhao Dahai drank a few sips of water and rested for a while, drove the fishing boat back to the place where the first basket was lined with hooks, took the hook, hooked the buoy, pulled it to the fishing boat, pulled up the lead pendant and put it in the basket, and began to collect. Put the main thread in the basket in circles, so that you don’t have to rearrange it the next time you put it.

The first hook has no fish.

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 the row hook is that it covers a relatively large sea surface. As long as there are fish in the sea, the chance of catching them will be relatively higher. However, 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. Next time, he will definitely not come here to put the row hooks or fish here. Five If there is a hook every ten meters for a hundred meters, that is fifty hooks. If you cannot catch even a small fish, it will 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.

The first hook has no fish.

The second hook has no fish.

Twenty hooks in a row, 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.

"coming!"

"Finally there are fish!"

"Black snapper!"

Zhao Dahai held the main line with his right hand and felt a fish struggling and shaking, which was a typical movement of black sea bream after taking the bait. When he pulled it out of the water, he saw that it was indeed a big black sea bream of about two kilograms. , picked the hook and threw it into the live cabin. This is the first harvest of the day. After looking at it, I found that it was a small mud shrimp.

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

The first fish caught were 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 where the sixth hook was released.

It can't be that there are so few fish, right?

Zhao Dahai couldn't believe it. After collecting five baskets of hooks, less than ten kilograms of fish were collected. He originally thought that he could catch more fish and make more money by placing hooks. However, looking at the current situation, he really thought too much and was 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, and so on.

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!"

"ha!"

"really have!"

Zhao Dahai was surprised and happy. The fish he hooked was exactly the fish he had set the hook for this time. It was as thick as his arms, with a long snake-like body, a gray back and a white belly.
