Zhao Dahai looked at the lights of the familiar village wharf in the distance, and breathed a sigh of relief, he ran a little far today, and there was a mistake in the time estimate, the plan was to return to the wharf at five or six o'clock, and now it is more than seven o'clock and close to eight o'clock, and it is a very dangerous thing to open a fishing boat at night.

Zhao Dahai slowed down the speed of the fishing boat, approached the dock, there were more fishing boats, there were wooden stakes and ropes in the sea, he could see clearly during the day, the problem was not big, it was night, he had to be very careful.

"Smack!"

Zhao Dahai was startled, a huge sound suddenly sounded on the sea, the sound of the diesel engine was very noisy, it could still be heard, a big stone smashed on the sea, looked left and right, there was no fishing boat, it could not be someone else.

Illusion?

Auditory hallucinations?

Zhao Dahai furrowed his brows.

"Smack!"

Zhao Dahai heard it clearly and immediately turned off the diesel engine.

"Smack!"

……

"Smack!"

……

"Smack!"

……

Zhao Dahai stood on the fishing boat, staring at the southeast direction, the sound was all from there, the sea was empty, the sound was far away, and the distance was estimated to be two or three hundred meters.

What fish?

Sea bass?

Zhao Dahai suddenly remembered that he had caught a sea bass two days ago.

Sea bass are very ferocious by nature, they will gather into schools of fish to chase small fish, and at night when it is just dark or when the morning dawns, they are very active, they swim very fast, and they will rush out of the water when they hunt, and these sounds are very likely to be made by sea bass flying out of the water and smashing back into the sea.

Catching a sea bass doesn't mean much, but now the sounds are proof that sea bass season is at work and the sea bass are returning.

Zhao Dahai didn't pass, it's night now, I can't see clearly, the key is that the time is late, if I don't go home again, grandma Zhong Cuihua will be very worried, and now I'm restless, if it's too late, maybe I have to call someone to go to sea to find myself, it's important to make money, but all this is not as good as the family.

Zhao Dahai stood on the fishing boat, listened to the sound of water from time to time, carefully distinguished the location, the shallow sea area was more familiar, and slowly remembered that it was the sea surface opposite the reef area in the east of the village, and then drove the fishing boat back to the wharf, packed up the fishing boat, and fished the half-catty Shi Jiugong bucket that he fished today.

Zhao Dahai saw his grandmother Zhong Cuihua from a distance, standing at the gate of the yard, looking around, this was waiting for him, and immediately quickened his pace.

"Grandma."

"I ran a little bit farther today. The main reason is that I am inexperienced, and I don't think it's good to come back late. ”

Zhao Dahai said the reason for coming back late, and didn't say anything like not to worry, the people in the fishing village, as long as someone goes to sea and doesn't come back, the people in the family will be very worried, this is not to say that you can really not worry, not to mention the special situation of your own family.

Zhao Dahai carried the bucket into the yard and walked to the side of the fish pond, Shi Jiugong is different from other fish, whether it is fishing or catching with fishing nets including cages with cages, it is not easy to feed, the probability of a few meters of water depth in the shallow sea is relatively large, today these twenty or thirty meters of water depth are fished, the water pressure changes rapidly, and most of them have died.

Zhao Dahai put the fish pond alive, put the dead ones in the refrigerator, took three of them, had a luxury, cooked a pot of soup, fried vegetables and some other meat, and ate a good meal.

Zhao Dahai finished dinner, took a bath, and basked on the sea for a day, ate and drank to his heart's content, and relaxed.

Zhao Dahai teased the little milk black, went out to the vegetable garden behind the house, the loofah beans grew very tall, and there were a lot of fruits, not to mention the green vegetables, one by one, they were all taken care of by grandma Zhong Cuihua, watered it again, and watched the chickens grow bigger, the chicken pen built at the beginning was a little smaller, and there was time to build a bigger one, lychees and longans grew already shoulder high.

Zhao Dahai walked around, went home to sleep, had to get up very early tomorrow, the life in the fishing village was simple and boring, there was something to do today, there was nothing to go to bed early, and there was something to do tomorrow.

Early morning.

There was a hint of mist floating on the surface of the sea.

The sky was very blue, with white clouds from time to time, and the weather was very good.

Zhao Dahai left the dock, the fishing boat drove forward, the sea breeze blew in the face, and before the sun came out, it was very comfortable.

Before going to sea today, I was a little hesitant, and I ran farther away yesterday to find the place where there was flowing water and cut the line, there must be big fish, but when I returned to the dock in front of the village last night, I found that the sea bass was in the water, and finally decided to try to fish for sea bass first, and then I couldn't catch a big fish.

Zhao Dahai took a moment to find the location where he heard the fish hitting the water last night, and he could see very clearly during the day, there were several large wooden stakes erected in the sea.

Zhao Dahai remembered for a while that there was a fixed fishing net in this place, which is a fishing net in a fixed position, which can be raised and lowered, and when the tide rises, the fish will enter the fishing net with the rising sea water, and before the sea water begins to recede, the fishermen come over in time to raise the fishing net, and the fish will "strand" in the fishing net.

Twenty or thirty years ago, when there were many fish, shrimp and crabs in the sea, a lot of them could be caught, but now they can't, there are too few shallow sea fish, shrimps and crabs, and there are too many fishing boats, especially the fishing nets must be placed in a higher position than the fixed fishing nets, directly stop the fish, there is no harvest, and they are slowly deserted, leaving only these wooden stakes driven into the depths of the seabed.

Zhao Dahai took a closer look around and found that the sea water here has obvious demarcation, a long strip of sea water is darker than others, not particularly wide, more than ten meters, but very long, all the way to the depths of the sea.

Could it have been a fishway before?

Zhao Dahai had long heard that the fish in the sea all had a fish passage, and at high tide, the fish swam from the deep sea to the shallow sea, and the opposite was true at low tide. Only by setting up a fishing net and choosing such a place can you catch more fish, shrimp and crabs. It's just that there are too many fishing boats now, and the nets are put into the sea, and the fish passages and everything are all wasted, and there will definitely not be many fish.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat and found a place where the sea water was relatively deep, and now there was almost no flowing water, no anchor, just turned off the diesel engine and tried to see if there were any fish.

The fishing group of sea bass is very simple, a triangle conversion, a main line, a hanging lead, and the other is a subline tied with a hook, the bait is a live shrimp, sea bass is different from other fish, very picky, basically only eat live bait, the hook is hung on the shrimp gun of the shrimp, so that the shrimp can live for a long time.

Zhao Dahai threw the rod out, lead to the end, the water depth is about five or six meters, reel, half a meter from the bottom, so that the live shrimp on the hanging line has been "floating" and swimming in the water, and can only swim in the fixed range of the length of the line, attracting sea bass around to prey, this is the "drifting shrimp" fishing sea bass.

Zhao Dahai waited for about ten minutes, no fish bite, and collected half a meter, one meter from the bottom, and waited for another ten minutes, no movement, continued to reel in the line, and the more he fished, the higher he was from the bottom.

The sun hangs high in the sky.

The sea is open, there is no shelter at all, the sun is shining, and it is very hot.

Zhao Dahai was very patient and kept putting out the line.

Fishing sea bass is different from fishing other fish, one is to find the point where there is a fish, and the other is to find the water layer of the fish, no fish must not catch the fish, but where there are fish, the water layer of the floating shrimp is not the same can not be caught, the difference is one and a half meters, the world is different.

Zhao Dahai started the diesel engine, and he couldn't catch fish in one place for two hours, so he tried in another place.
