Chapter 834 Newbie Pays Tuition

"What are you doing?"

"Two or three hundred yuan disappeared with just one cut!"

"Is your money so easy to make?!"

Xu Dachui yelled at Xu Xiaochui.

"Brother."

"How many times have we been stuck at the bottom?"

"Damn it!"

"All the money we made from sea bass fishing today has been spent here!"

"It's all in vain!"

Xu Xiaochui was furious. He and his big brother Xu Dachui drove a speedboat here, drove past other people's speedboats and marked a lot of spots, then fished for almost an hour, changed three spots, tried each spot, and all of them were stuck at the bottom.

Although I was mentally prepared to catch big fish, especially bottom fishing for grouper, I was sure to keep getting stuck at the bottom, but I couldn't stand it again and again.

"Alas!"

"What can we do? We have no choice but to come here to fish for big groupers. If you want to fish for big groupers, you have to be prepared for this and pay the tuition."

Xu Dachui said as he let out the line and hit the bottom. The lead weight hit the bottom of the sea, the line on the rod loosened, the tip of the fishing rod shook violently, and something pulled it hard.

"Hit!"

Xu Dachui roared, his hands trembled for a while before he reacted, and pushed the switch of the electric reel hard. The electric reel turned quickly, and in a short while, it had reeled in more than ten meters of line, but there was nothing.

Xu Dachui had been angry for a long time, but he had been suppressing it hard. When he saw a bite that finally appeared, he was too late to react, so he pushed the switch and reeled in the line and ran away.

Xu Dachui kicked a plastic basket placed next to him hard, and it flew up and hit the sea surface, splashing sea water all over his head and face.

"Damn it!"

"It's really a ghost!"

Xu Dachui wiped the seawater off his face, gasping for breath, and couldn't calm down for several minutes.

Xu Xiaochui looked at the electric reel that kept turning and the rod that was only shaking slightly, with only a little bending, and sighed. When he heard his brother shouting just now, he thought he had caught a fish, but he didn't expect such an ending, which was much more uncomfortable than being caught on the bottom.

Xu Dachui looked at the empty hook pulled out of the water, and the live shrimp hanging on it had disappeared long ago. He regretted it even more. There was 100% fish biting the hook, but he was slow to react and got off the hook.

"Brother."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Who could have thought of this? We don't have much experience, so it can only be like this!"

Xu Xiaochui looked at his brother Xu Dachui with a livid face and comforted him. He was also very angry in his heart, but there was really nothing he could do.

Xu Dachui didn't say a word, hung the live shrimp and put it back into the sea, about five meters away from the seabed, and let out the line to knock on the bottom.

Xu Dachui took a deep breath, stared at the rod and began to reel the line away from the seabed.

Xu Dachui's face suddenly became darker than the bottom of a pot, and his chest rose and fell like an angry bull.

Is there any fish biting the hook?

It's stuck!

It's stuck again!

Xu Dachui's eyes widened, and a burst of anger rushed out of his head.

Xu Xiaochui stared at the sea and sighed, without saying a word. Others fished very easily, but when it was his turn, he found that it was not easy.

How could Zhao Dahai catch so many fish?

Why?

Could it be that his speedboat was bigger than others! Did it run faster and farther than others?

Xu Xiaochui was indignant.

Xu Dachui lit a cigarette and drank a few sips of water before calming down a little. He pulled the bottom line and drove the speedboat away directly. He couldn't fish at this place, so he changed to another spot to see if he could catch any fish.

Artificial island reef.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhao Dahai drove the speedboat forward slowly, looking at the fish finder screen from time to time.

As early as two hours ago, he had driven the speedboat with Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, and his second grandfather Zhao Shishi Guangming to the artificial island reef, but he didn't start fishing immediately.

It's not that the tide is not suitable, but mainly because he found that there are many more speedboats on the sea than usual or last year when he fished here.

Zhao Dahai turned around and found that there were other speedboats fishing near the spot where he caught fish last year. There was no way, so he decided not to fish but to start scanning.

Zhao Dahai slowed down until he stopped and floated on the water, picked up the water cup and drank the strong tea he had just brewed.

Zhong Shizhu pointed to the seven or eight speedboats visible near and far on the surrounding sea and frowned, saying that there are indeed a lot more speedboats fishing here this year.

"Didn't we see a speedboat catching a fish just now?"

"About 30 kilograms!"

Liu Bin is very reluctant to see many speedboats here, and he doesn't want the speedboats here to catch fish. The speedboats that catch fish will continue to come here to fish tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even in the future. Slowly, there will be more and more speedboats here.

"What can be done about this? The artificial island reef is not a secret place. Many people know about it. It's just that this place is far away and it's difficult to fish. There are fewer people fishing here, but in the past year, there were not many fish in the nearby fishing spots, such as the windmill foot fishing spot. Everyone has no choice but to come here to try and see if they can catch any fish."

Lei Dayou had heard Zhao Dahai's analysis of this matter and had been mentally prepared that there would be more fishing speedboats here on the artificial island reef this year, but now he really saw it with his own eyes and was very depressed.

"Hmph!"

"What are you doing?"

"This artificial island is not ours!"

"Can't other people come here to fish? If other speedboats come here to fish, won't we be able to catch any fish?"

Zhao Shi glared at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou.

"Second Uncle Zhao!"

"How can it be like this? Even if there are more people fishing here, even if there are more speedboats here, what will happen? It's impossible to catch more fish than us!"

"But no matter what, if there are fewer speedboats here, we can catch more fish, at least it's very convenient. We could have fished when we got here in the afternoon, but there were other speedboats near the familiar spots. In order not to reveal our spots, we had to choose not to fish."

"Isn't this a waste of time!"

Zhong Shizhu smiled.

It is definitely impossible that there are other speedboats and other people fishing here, so Zhao Dahai and his people will not fish. No matter how many speedboats and people there are around, as long as Zhao Dahai leads his people fishing, they will definitely be able to catch a lot of fish. However, it must be said that so many speedboats here really affect fishing. Otherwise, they would have already cast their rods and might have caught five or six large groupers.

"Ha!"

"Old man Zhao."

"What Zhong Shizhu said is absolutely correct. If there were not so many speedboats around, Zhao Dahai would definitely start fishing. Now it has been more than one or two hours, and he might have made 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. This loss is still quite large. How can you say that there is no impact!"

Shi Guangming looked at the sea around him and shook his head.

At the end of last year, he and Zhao Shi stayed on this sea for almost a month. Zhao Dahai and Zhong Shizhu and their people fished on this sea for a month and knew the situation here very well. Now there are really many more people coming here to fish.

Zhao Dahai was very calm. The sea in front of him was exactly the same as what he had guessed. There were many more speedboats and people fishing here after the New Year.

There was no point in being depressed or even angry. What the second grandfather Zhao Shi said just now was right. This sea was not his home. He could come here to fish, and others could come here to fish as well. If there were many people, he could find a place with fewer people, or even if there were many people, he could still catch fish.

Zhao Dahai thought carefully. Among the points he had just scanned, there were several points that were very likely to have fish.

While Zhao Dahai was preparing the rod, he called Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to check their rods and reels.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were shocked. Zhao Dahai said that he had decided to go fishing, and immediately began to check the rods and reels. One was to prepare the rods and reels on the gun carriage, and the other was to prepare a set of handheld rods. Crabs, live shrimps or large octopuses had to be prepared.

Zhao Dahai waited for five or six minutes. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were all ready. They immediately drove the speedboat, adjusted the direction, and drove forward for about twenty minutes before stopping again.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Aren't there speedboats around here? And they are relatively close to us. If we go fishing now, it's not a good thing!"

Shi Guangming took a puff of water pipe. There were several speedboats around. The closest one was only about a hundred meters away. If Zhao Dahai really caught fish in this place, these speedboats would definitely come over.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou kept nodding. Other speedboats were too close. If you can't catch fish at this place at this time, there's nothing to say. If you can catch fish, you must squeeze over. Even if you can't grab the fish, you have to mark the spot. The next time these speedboats will come here to fish.

"It's just a small spot."

"No problem!"

"One is that we don't know if there are any fish. Another is that there are not many fish, maybe one or two, at most three or four. Such a small spot is very suitable for fishing now, and it doesn't matter if these speedboats see it."

"If there were any fish, we would have caught them already! It is unlikely that there will be new fish in the next half month, let alone if there are no fish."

Zhao Dahai shook his head. There were indeed other speedboats around, but the spot he was fishing at was just a very small spot.

Grouper is a fish that occupies a lot of territory. If there is a large fishing spot or spot, there may be a lot of fish, but if the fishing spot or spot is relatively small, generally there will not be too many fish, or even only one fish.

Now there is a very small spot under the speedboat. Let's not talk about whether it is hanging on the bottom or not. Even if it is not hanging on the bottom, there will not be too many fish.

The fish that we have caught have been caught by ourselves. There will be no new fish coming here in the next period of time. The speedboats around know that they can't catch fish here and can't take too much advantage.

Besides, we can't do nothing and wait for the speedboats around to disappear before fishing. We must fish. It's okay if the big spots are not leaked, and the small ones don't matter.

"The water depth is 140 meters."

"The reefs here may be stuck to the bottom. Everyone, be careful. Stop and tap the bottom at about 135 meters to see if you can catch fish."

While watching the fish finder, Zhao Dahai loudly reminded Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to pay attention to avoid getting stuck when tapping the bottom. However, this kind of thing is unpredictable. Many times it depends on luck. If it gets stuck, it will get stuck. If it doesn't, it won't get stuck.

"Yo!"

"Uncle Zhao!"

"What are you doing? Can you still catch fish?"

Lei Dayou threw the live shrimp he had hung into the sea to release the line. He saw Zhao Shi took out a roll of line, tied a hook and a lead weight, hung a big octopus, and put it into the sea.

"Humph!"

"When you go out to sea to fish, you don't know where you are!"

"Don't let me catch a fish and you haven't caught a fish. That will make people laugh!"

Zhao Shi loosened his hand and the line slid to the bottom of the sea.

"Uncle Dayou."

"It's really hard to say!"

"Second Grandpa might have caught the fish here earlier than you!"

Zhao Dahai smiled. Zhao Shi used the hand-line fishing method. He didn't use a rod, but pulled the line directly with his hands. The biggest advantage of this fishing method is that it is very sensitive. Even the slightest movement can be felt immediately. On the contrary, Lei Dayou is now using the rod and wheel on the gun carriage. It is indeed convenient, but there is no way to compare with hand-line fishing. It's just that hand-line fishing requires experience. Generally, especially nowadays, people don't know how to use it.

Zhao Dahai considers himself a master of fishing, but when it comes to fishing with hand-line fishing, he may not be as good as his second grandfather Zhao Shi. This is the experience accumulated over many years, and it is not something that a young man in his early twenties like himself can compare with.

"Hahaha!"

"I won't say anything, I'll just wait and watch!"

...

"Come on!"

"Bet a hundred bucks on Uncle Zhao catching a fish before Lei Dayou!"

...

Liu Bin and Zhong Shizhu gloated over the misfortune.

Lei Dayou immediately stared at the rod in front of him. It was a matter of face, so he had to be very alert, lest Zhao Shi really caught a fish before him and embarrassed himself.
