    No. Try "I think something is happening".

    Yes, I Know...but I am listening to a cd and I don't understand what he says. The sentence is:
    We have been here for one hour..ehm nothing...Are you sure they're fishing here?Wait a minute!I think occurs something.Quick! Damn it.

    It could be "I think I heard something" (or many other things).
    But your sentence doesn't make sense.

    "We have been here for an hour and ... uh nothing. Are you sure there are fish in here? Oh, wait a minute!I think I've caught something. Quick, get the net."

    Makes sense when you think about it!
