Fishing Livestream
Chapter 195 - 195 195 11 Draw

195: Chapter 195 1:1 Draw 195: Chapter 195 1:1 Draw Yue Feng was using a 0.15# black tech leader line, a 0.3 main line, along with an Extremely thin sleeve that was at least half the weight of similar hooks, which greatly reduced the difficulty for fish to bite the bait.

This setup was much stronger than Bai Xu’s 0.3 leader line.

As time passed, the fishing spot became increasingly crowded with fish, and Yue Feng’s proficiency in catching double tails also improved significantly.

Towards the end, he was almost catching double tails with every cast, making his fishing smoother.

However, Bai Xu was faring much worse.

Once his confidence was shaken, his entire mindset underwent a terrifying change.

In his head, he kept wondering whether the bait was in bad condition, or if his float had taken on water due to damage.

He questioned whether his trolling settings were off, among other non-issues, letting them flood his thoughts and impair his final judgment.

After losing his cool, he missed timings on bites that he should have easily handled, delaying his actions.

When facing risky bites where the success rate was low, he should have avoided them, but he got distracted and lifted his rod anyway.

The hook set too shallow, and the fish unhooked as it surfaced, turning two potential catches into one.

Such mistakes were numerous.

Throughout the entire second event, Bai Xu competed in this continuous state of doubt and error, and the outcome was as expected.

Thirty minutes passed, and Chairman Lu’s timer went off again.

Hearing the alarm, Yue Feng put down his rod, stretched his slightly stiff neck and arms, and slowly stood up.

“You fished well this round!

Caught those double tails spot on.

Not bad, Yue, you’re learning quickly!” Liu Fengnian casually said while patting Yue Feng’s shoulder.

Yue Feng grinned, “Where a child cries daily, who would continuously lose at the fishing games, right?

After taking some losses, we ought to gain some experience.

Wouldn’t you agree, Brother Liu?”

“Haha!

Absolutely right!” Liu Fengnian raised his thumb.

In a short while, the catch count was announced—Yue Feng with 87, Bai Xu with 69.

The plot had almost completely reversed.

Bai Xu, who was quite boastful in the first round, was now trailing Yue Feng by 18 catches!

It was understandable to fall a bit short in the first warm-up, but now, after warming up, Bai Xu fished even worse than in the first round, a clear indication of the problem.

“Did Brother Bai intentionally take it easy because Yue’s loss in the first round was too harsh?

We’re chums, but we can’t play like that!

In the final round, bring out all your skills; otherwise, your wallet’s going to bleed!

I hear Gamma’s rod sections aren’t cheap!” Qiangzi said with a smile, having held back his frustration, casting a glance at Bai Xu.

Bai Xu had mocked Yue Feng after winning the first round, but now, Qiangzi saw his chance and “backhanded” him in retaliation, throwing a trash-talking light jab that left Bai Xu looking embarrassed and unable to retort.

In such situations, the loser had no right to talk back.

Mocked, Bai Xu’s face showed an ugly expression.

He opened his Fishing Box, took out two brown paper bags of bait, turned around, and walked to the other side to begin preparing new bait.

Zhao Dezong, Zhou Tao, and a few staunch supporters followed him.

After that group moved away, Liu Fengnian said, “Be smart in the last round.

These guys are opening their bait away from others for a reason, and they’re surely not up to any good!”

Scratching his head, Yue Feng asked, “Since they’re adjusting, should we adjust too?

I felt like the fish were starting to get active in the second round.

Brother Liu, can we do Floating Fishing in this spot?”

Floating Fishing, as the name suggests, involves fishing near the surface.

Normally, crucian carp are a species that are active in the middle to lower layers of water, but when their numbers increase, they can go crazy for bait and move to upper layers to feed.

Everyone knows that with normal bottom fishing, there’s a time interval after casting before the float stabilizes.

This interval can vary depending on water depth, the speed of the float settling, and other factors.

However, because Floating Fishing targets higher water layers, this interval is significantly shortened, thus enhancing the overall efficiency.

This fishing technique has very clear advantages and disadvantages.

If used skillfully, it can be extremely effective, but if you can’t initiate a strike, you might end the session without catching much, hence missing out on good results.

“Floating Fishing?

I’m not really familiar with that.

I haven’t played around here for a long time.

Wait a moment for me, let me ask Old Lu.

He comes here more often!”

After speaking, Liu Fengnian turned and walked towards Lu Yong, who was sitting in the shade.

Originally, it was Zhao Dezong who had called Old Lu, but Liu Fengnian had a good relationship with him at Yue Feng’s side, knowing that the atmosphere around fishing was rather delicate, so he stayed separately with boss Ge and another friend, clearly maintaining a neutral stance.

After a brief conversation, Liu Fengnian returned to Yue Feng’s side.

“I just asked, and if there aren’t many people at this spot, you can try Floating Fishing, but Old Lu doesn’t recommend it.

With only half an hour for the competition and without the use of Loose Powder, waiting for the fish to come up might mean the competition is over before you know it.

It’s quite difficult to pull the fish up to a higher layer!

If the conditions are right, you could try fixed-layer fishing, which is a bit more conservative than Floating Fishing.

If the fish are active, it can also significantly increase your efficiency.”

“Alright, I’ve got it!” Since there was potential, Yue Feng felt more informed, and he decided to continue trying a slightly more aggressive method.

Getting accurate information from President Lu, Yue Feng was inspired and pulled out his Bait Opening Bowl to specially prepare a new batch of bait.

The reason for considering Floating Fishing was because in his last fishing session, after getting a handle on the fish conditions, he noticed that the fish frequently floated up about ten centimeters from the bottom.

If he could capitalize on this detail for targeted adjustment, it could potentially increase his catch significantly, leading to a secure win.

Whether fishing near the surface or off the bottom, the requirements for the bait differ from bottom fishing.

The bait needs to form larger clusters, disperse more upon entering the water, and there should be some buoyant material present in the water, attracting the fish to gather in the upper layers as much as possible.

With this goal in mind, while mixing the new bait, Yue Feng slightly increased the proportion of light bran and light state powder, and added an extra portion of Super Attraction, making the bait clusters slightly larger, useful for gathering fish in the initial stages.

After preparing the bait, Yue Feng used a measuring cup to add water and immediately create the bait mixture.

The newly adjusted bait was light in weight; holding it felt like grasping a fluffy loaf of bread.

Yue Feng casually checked the condition of the Lure bait in a water basin with a double hook.

Upon entering the water, the bait rapidly absorbed water, expanded, and pieces fell off.

In a very short time, only a tiny residue remained on the hook.

The effect of this Lure bait was nearly on par with Loose Powder.

The state of the newly prepared bait perfectly matched Yue Feng’s expectations.

Using it in the early stage to attract fish by frequent pulling would surely work well.

All the bait was gathered into clusters to expel the trapped air, waiting for the final competition to begin.
