Chapter 280: I Got Lucky in the Bet! I Haven't Seen a Valuable Item for a Long Time!

Zhao Dahai stayed nearby and watched for almost an hour. One speedboat after another kept covering the current. None of the speedboats could catch a fish. Almost every attempt ended by hanging on the bottom.

Zhao Dahai raised his head and looked at the horizon. It won't be long before it gets dark. With so many speedboats crowded here, there will definitely be no way to fish. He packed up and drove the speedboat home directly.

Zhao Dahai returned to the dock.

"The sea!"

"Did you catch any fish today?"

Zhao Dahai turned his head and looked at the fishing boat not far away. Zhong Shizhu was busy with something.

"ah?"

"Why are you still here so late!"

Zhao Dahai was a little surprised. It was the fishing moratorium and Zhong Shizhu wouldn't go out to sea to fish. He didn't know what he was doing on the fishing boat.

Zhong Shizhu threw down a towel he was holding, went to the pier, and walked to Zhao Dahai's speedboat.

"Pack up the fishing boats. The fishing moratorium will end in about ten days and we have to go fishing. The fishing boats have not moved for such a long time. Come down and take a look today."

"I'm thinking about whether I should go to the beach in two days and tidy it up. Repair the places that need repairing and mend the places that need repairing."

"Zhao Dahai."

"Thanks to you."

"Otherwise Lei Dayou, Liu Bin and I wouldn't be so relaxed."

Zhong Shizhu took out his cigarette, lit one and took a nice puff. Being unable to go fishing during the fishing moratorium makes it very difficult for me and people like Lei Dayou and Liu Bin who usually put out fishing nets to catch fish.

But this year I followed Zhao Dahai on a fishing trip for large yellow croaker, and each of them made more than 250,000 yuan. It was a windfall that fell from the sky.

I had a good rest during the entire fishing moratorium. For those people in the village who went fishing at sea, or those from other villages who went fishing at sea, these almost two months were very difficult, and many of them had to go out to work.

"ha!"

"Uncle Shizhu."

"It's a small thing."

"The sea is full of large yellow croakers. I can't catch them with only two hands."

“The more people you have on the boat, the more power you have. The more you catch, the more money you will make.”

Zhao Dahai waved his hand. It is true that he took Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou out to sea and made a lot of money fishing for large yellow croakers, but it cannot be said that Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou took advantage of it. When encountering a school of fish, there is strength in numbers. In addition, during the last trip to catch golden pomfret, I made a huge profit, while Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou only received their wages.

"correct!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"I heard that fishing in the outer sea has not been very good recently, but fishing in the inland sea is better."

"Did you go out to sea and catch any fish today?"

Zhong Shizhu didn't say any more polite words. He and Lei Dayou and Liu Bin just kept it in mind. They usually didn't hesitate to help with anything. Being too polite only hurt their feelings.

Zhao Dahai told Zhong Shizhu that the inland sea was indeed better for fishing in the past few days. He made a lot of money fishing for two or three days. Yesterday and today he went to the outer sea. He caught a lot of fish yesterday and only caught one fish today.

"ah?"

"Only caught one fish?"

"Is this impossible?"

Zhong Shizhu was very surprised. He walked to the edge of the living cabin, looked down, and his eyes immediately widened. He saw a huge fish like a giant.

"ha!"

“It’s true that I only caught one fish, but this fish is worth many more fish than others!”

Zhong Shizhu shook his head, a bit dumbfounded. The blue spot in the living cabin looked like it weighed 70 to 80 kilograms, and cost three to five hundred yuan a kilogram. It could be sold for more than 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Zhao Dahai was worried that one person could not lift a green spot like this to the pier. Zhong Shizhu was just right here. A tricycle rode over. The two of them spent some effort and put it in a mesh bag and lifted it into the water tank.

Zhong Shizhu watched Zhao Dahai ride away on a tricycle, then returned to his fishing boat and continued working.

When Zhao Dahai returned home, he could stand firmly on his feet and could handle a seventy or eighty-pound blue spot by himself. He carried the net bag containing the fish and put it directly into the live fish pond.

Zhao Dahai washed his hands and feet and remembered what he said last night about delivering fish to his second grandfather Zhao Shi. He went fishing early this morning and almost forgot about it.

"grandmother!"

"I'm going to deliver fish to Grandpa Second now!"

Zhao Dahai shouted to his grandma Zhong Cuihua who was cooking in the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took the large yellow croaker and golden pineapple fish and put them in a bag and carried them out, walking to his grandfather Zhao Shi's house.

"Second Grandpa!"

Zhao Dahai stood at the door of Zhao Shi's yard and took a look. There was a light, and he opened his mouth and shouted loudly.

"The sea?"

"Why are you here so late? Is there something wrong!?"

Golden Tao opened the courtyard door.

"Second Grandma!"

"It's so late! Have you had dinner?"

"I've been busy fishing these past few days, and I forgot about this!"

"Didn't you go out to sea to catch a batch of large yellow croakers a few days ago? You left a few small ones behind!"

"Yesterday when I went to sea, I encountered golden pineapple fish and left two out."

"Bring it over together for you and Grandpa Second to have a try!"

Zhao Dahai handed the bag in his hand to Huang Jintao.

"ah?"

"Big yellow croaker? This is valuable. What are you doing with these good things for us two old men and old women? Sell them!"

Huang Jintao immediately shook his head when he heard about the big yellow croaker.

"ha!"

"Second Grandma!"

"I can't bear to give you one or two kilograms."

"They are just some small fish weighing 3-5 taels."

"My grandma has the same idea as you. She is reluctant to eat them. She wants to sell them for money."

"I told grandma that we are not poor now. I can make money every day when I go out to sea, and I make a lot of money."

"You have to keep some of every fish for yourself to taste."

"We have been fishing for our whole lives. We can't not even know what yellow croaker tastes like!"

"There are three similar ones left at home. I have to ask grandma to cook them tomorrow or when I am free."

Zhao Dahai was not surprised at all that Huang Jintao didn't want yellow croaker.

"Hey!"

"Okay!"

"You make sense, kid."

"Okay!"

"I'll take it this time! Don't bring valuable fish here again."

"Sell more and make more money! You still have to marry a wife!"

Huang Jintao smiled and nodded, and accepted the fish.

Zhong Shizhu walked out of the room and looked at the bag in Huang Jintao's hand. He seemed to have heard Zhao Dahai say the words "golden pineapple fish" just now. He took the bag and opened it. There were two very beautiful fish as big as palms on it.

"It's really golden pineapple fish!"

"Have you found the spot?"

Zhao Shi looked up at Zhao Dahai.

"Yeah!"

"I went out to sea two days ago and found a place where I could catch golden pineapple fish."

"There are other speedboats passing by that place. I dare not stay too long."

"Next time I find an opportunity, especially when there are no other speedboats passing by, I will go fishing again. I should be able to catch it."

Zhao Dahai admired Zhao Shi very much. Zhao Shi was experienced and knew that he had found the fishing spot.

"Ah?"

"Old man!"

"Is this a good fish? It looks pretty!"

Huang Jintao looked at the fish in Zhao Shi's hand. He had never seen it before.

Zhao Shi nodded and told Huang Jintao that the price of a yellow croaker weighing about three taels might not be comparable to that of a golden pineapple fish weighing two kilograms.

"Oh!"

"Wouldn't it cost two or three thousand yuan for a few fish?"

"Dahai!"

"You have to take this fish back!"

Huang Jintao was shocked.

"Alright!"

"This kid really doesn't need the money for these few fish now!"

"Pineapple is a good fish. I've seen it twice, but I've never caught it in my life. This time I'll try it."

Zhao Shi took a couple of puffs from the hookah.

"That's right!"

"Second Grandpa!"

"Today I went to the open sea to fish at a sunken fishing spot."

"This place is really awesome!"

"Is there any good way?"

On the way back from the sea, Zhao Dahai had been thinking about how to catch the big fish at the sunken fishing spot. There was no good way. Zhao Shi had a lot of fishing experience in his life, so he might have a good way.

Zhao Shi shook his head. There were a lot of fish at the sunken place, but it was hard to fish and catch them. There was no good way.

"Ah?"

"Second Grandpa."

"Don't you, an old hand like you, know what the good way is?"

Zhao Dahai was a little disappointed.

"Humph!"

"Who doesn't know there are fish in the place where the shipwreck is?"

"Do you think you are the only one so smart?"

"Fishermen want to fish in this place, and fishermen want to fish in places like this."

"If it is really that easy to fish, how could there be so many fish?"

Zhao Shi took two puffs of the hookah.

Zhao Dahai thought about it and realized that if it was easy to fish, there would be no way to have so many fish, especially those trawlers that just dragged over and cleaned up, leaving nothing behind.

"Fishing in places like this can only be a matter of luck!"

Zhao Shi exhaled a thick puff of smoke.

Can it only be a matter of luck?

What kind of method is this?

At first, Zhao Dahai thought that this was not a method at all, but after thinking about it for a while, he found that it really made sense.

The reef seabed can be tested by fish finding and even hanging on the bottom again and again to find out where it is easy to hang on the bottom and where there are more likely to be fish.

The structure of the fishing spot by boat is very complicated, and it is basically impossible to accurately grasp the structure of the entire fishing spot.

Why did I keep hanging on the bottom all morning today?

Why was he able to catch a big bluefish weighing 70-80 kg later?

I kept getting stuck on the bottom because I wanted to find a place where I wouldn't get stuck by observing with the fish finder and trying again and again.

But this is simply impossible!

The time I caught the big bluefish, I didn't reel it in. Instead, I lowered it two meters and got closer to the sunken ship. Instead of getting stuck on the bottom, I caught a big fish.

Did I find a place where I wouldn't get stuck on the bottom?

That's not the case at all!

It was just pure luck!

"Second Grandpa."

"I understand what you mean!"

Zhao Dahai understood what Zhao Shi meant. Anyway, no matter how careful you are or how much you rely on fish finders to study, you can't avoid getting stuck on the bottom. You might as well not study it and just gamble on your luck. It doesn't make sense, but this is the only way to fish at the sunken ship.

Zhao Dahai looked at the time. It was already late. He didn't have dinner. He chatted for a few words and stood up to go home.

"Old man."

"These fish can be sold for at least two or three thousand yuan, why did you take them this time!"

Huang Jintao really couldn't understand why Zhao Shi accepted these fish.

"It's only money if you sell it, but it's just a few fish if you don't sell it."

"Zhao Dahai really doesn't need this money now, so let him stay."

Zhao Shi waved his hand. This is a different time. If Zhao Dahai was poor, he would definitely not keep these fish. Now it's different. These fish are really worth a lot of money, but it's just a matter of Zhao Dahai pulling one or two more times when he goes out to sea to fish.

When Zhao Dahai returned home, the meal was ready. After dinner, he took a bath and went to bed early.

It was four o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Dahai got up and looked at the 70-80 kg big blue spot in the live fish pond. It was alive and well. This was a bit unexpected. When he caught it, he thought it couldn't be kept alive, but he didn't expect it to be so tenacious.

Zhao Dahai hurried out after breakfast and drove the speedboat out to sea immediately. When he passed the fishing spot of the golden pineapple fish, he looked again. There were no other speedboats fishing there. Now he was basically 100% sure that no one knew this place.

Zhao Dahai did not stop fishing.

The price of golden pineapple fish is really good, but it is not easy to sell.

No matter if you sell it to Liu Gang or Wu Weimin, you can't get a good price. Only if you sell it to someone like Du Dazhong, you can get a good price. This is a bit troublesome and you are worried about the exposure of the fishing spot.

Zhao Dahai decided not to fish for golden pineapple fish for the time being, and he would do it when he really couldn't catch other fish one day.

Zhao Dahai had figured out the arrangement of today's fishing spot before going to bed last night. He would catch black porgy first and then grouper.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat directly to the fishing spot where he caught a large number of big black porgy two days ago. When he arrived, he found that there were already two speedboats, and they were preparing to fish.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat, looked at the fish finder, and found a spot with dense fish. He started to prepare for fishing at night. After trying a few rods, he found that the black porgy here didn't bite much today. He could catch it, but not in large quantities.

Zhao Dahai was not picky. He caught as many as he could. He fished for two hours until the sky began to turn white before he put away the rod, packed up, and left immediately to go to the sunken fishing spot.

"Ah?"

"What's wrong with Zhao Dahai from Langtou Village? Why did he leave!"

...

"That day he said he had been fishing for black porgy here all day!"

"The fish bite today is not as good as that day, but it's not bad."

"The key is that it's light now, and the fish bite seems to be better. Who knows, the fish bite will be very fierce when the sun rises."

...

"Is he going to gamble for grouper?"

"It's possible!"

"Didn't he catch a big blue grouper there yesterday!?"

"It's normal to continue fishing there today!"

...

"Haha!"

"Your black porgy is biting so well, I won't go there to gamble for big grouper."

"Don't worry if you don't catch grouper and you don't catch black porgy here!"

"I did something like this a few days ago, I can't do it again today!"

...

The speedboats around were very surprised to see Zhao Dahai leaving the increasingly fierce black porgy without fishing.

Zhao Dahai rushed to the sunken fishing spot and saw that there were no other speedboats around. He thought that maybe the news that he had caught a big blue grouper here yesterday had not spread out, or maybe when he caught a big blue grouper, many speedboats happened to come here and they were crazy about covering the current but didn't catch any fish. There were not many speedboats here today.

Zhao Dahai quickly prepared himself.

"Ha!"

"Second Grandpa is right! Fishing in a place like a sunken ship can only rely on luck!"

"I don't know if this rod is stuck on the bottom or caught a fish!?"

Zhao Dahai took out the electric reel and installed it on the pole, mounted it on the gun mount, and directly put on the line of 30-50. A big octopus was hung on the hook with a hook gate that was three fingers wide. He picked it up and took a look, and threw it on the sea surface next to the speedboat. Under the sun that had just risen, the sea water was clear and transparent, and it was shaking gently. The big octopus sank quickly under the lead weight, and disappeared in less than a few seconds. Try to fish at a fixed point first, and then cover the current later if it doesn't work.

Zhao Dahai had figured out today's strategy last night. He no longer thought about how to avoid getting stuck, and just bet on luck.

"Eighty-seven meters!"

"The water depth here is eighty-seven meters!"

Zhao Dahai glanced at the fish finder, which showed that the water depth was eighty-seven meters.

"Is it here?"

"Not stuck?"

"No way?"

"Is my luck really that good?"

"A fish is biting!?"

Zhao Dahai did not hesitate at all, and directly released the line to eighty-seven meters. He raised the rod with his right hand, but it did not get stuck. As soon as he put it down, the tip of the rod immediately shook a few times.

Is there a big fish eyeing it?

The octopus wants to run away?

Zhao Dahai stared at the tip of the fishing rod on the gun mount with his eyes wide open.

There is really a fish!

With his rich experience, Zhao Dahai immediately knew that the shaking of the tip of the fishing rod at this time was definitely not caused by the scouring of the seabed water. There must be a fish, eyeing the big octopus hanging on the hook, and the big octopus wanted to run away but the hook pulled it and couldn't run away. It was caused by struggling.

Not moving?

Did you find something wrong and run away?

Zhao Dahai frowned.

Big fish are definitely not as stupid as people imagine. Don't believe that fish have no brains or have small brains.

The sea is full of vicious competition, and it is a life-and-death competition.

Either you eat others or you are eaten by others.

Every fish that grows up has experienced cruel fighting, survival of the fittest, and is very shrewd. It is impossible to really detect that something is wrong with the big octopus.

Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry, and waited for another two or three minutes. There was no movement from the fishing rod, but it was shaking regularly up and down with the waves.

Zhao Dahai thought for a while and reached out to lift the fishing rod on the gun holder. He lifted it very slowly, but put it down very quickly. He let go of his hand and the fishing rod bounced on the gun holder before jumping up. It shook a few more times, so that the octopus was driven by the lead pendant to quickly shake a few times on the seabed, as if it was about to escape.

"coming!"

Zhao Dahai kept his hand on the line-retracting switch. When he saw the fishing rod bending quickly, he immediately pushed it.

"middle!"

"Took the bait!"

When Zhao Dahai saw the electric winch turning, the pole tip immediately bent hard and almost touched the sea surface. This was not the weight of the lead pendant, but the pulling weight of a big fish.

Zhao Dahai held the fishing rod with both hands and pulled it up hard. The fish mouth of the grouper has bones and is very hard, which can ensure 100% penetration of the fish mouth, and also prevent the grouper from getting hooked and drilling into the seabed as much as possible.

"Ha ha!"

"Come up!"

"Ha ha!"

"This grouper will definitely not escape!"

Zhao Dahai held the pole with both hands and bowed for a while. He saw that the electric winch was rotating smoothly and kept retracting almost five or six meters of line. It had been successfully pulled away from the seabed. He gently put down the pole and rested it on the seabed. On the gun mount.

"Huh?"

"No way?"

"Still motionless!?"

"It's not erythema, is it?"

Zhao Dahai stared at the line that was being reeled in, especially at the rod tip of the fish. There was no shaking of the fish struggling after taking the bait, and he immediately slowed down the speed of the electric winch to reel in the line.

"big!"

"If it's really erythema, it will definitely be huge, maybe almost 20 pounds!"

…

"erythema!"

"It must be erythema!"

…

Zhao Dahai stared at the sea with wide eyes, and his heart began to beat faster. He had already forgotten the last time he fell into a red spot.
