Chapter 211 - 211 211 The Prodigal Spoon Fishing Method

211: Chapter 211: The Prodigal Spoon Fishing Method 211: Chapter 211: The Prodigal Spoon Fishing Method The old man’s float hadn’t been adjusted for trolling at all.

Instead, he simply wound a clump of Lead Skin around the lead seat.

After casting the rod into the water, there was just a plop as the float sank and then bounced back up from the bottom!

If you could catch fish like that, I’d have seen a ghost!

After the recent hiccup, the viewers in the live stream were all discussing the old man.

With the old man right there, Yue Feng didn’t feel it appropriate to comment too much, so he mainly focused on maintaining order and basically refrained from expressing any personal opinions.

As for the fish bites, a bombing had just occurred not long ago, and if there were any fish, the loud disturbance likely scared them off, so expecting a bite in the short term was out of the question!

Yue Feng’s assessment was spot-on.

For the next half hour, there was not a hint of activity in the fishing spot.

Just then, a sudden piercing sound of a fish bite alarm came from the southeast corner, and Yue Feng couldn’t help but turn his head to look!

Qiangzi was the first one to catch a fish!

But the next second, seeing Qiangzi’s rod which he had just lifted, quickly leveled out in front, and in the span of a single breath, it sprang back up!

It got away!

Qiangzi, slightly annoyed, scratched his head and raised the rod to check the leader.

Both the hook and the leader were intact; the fish had shaken off the hook!

The microphone picked up the sounds and sent them into the live stream, rousing the somewhat drowsy audience with a start.

“Did someone catch a fish?

That rod-lifting action just now was fierce!”

“Feng, adjust the camera for us!

If there’s nothing happening at our spot, let’s at least check out the others!”

Yue Feng smirked and maneuvered the drone to give Qiangzi a shot.

“The fish pulled the rod flat and got away!”

“That’s pretty good, the fish must have been strong!

We heard the buzz from the rod and line when it was pulled!”

Qiangzi’s first bite seemed to have sounded the horn for the big fish to start biting in the pond, and it wasn’t long before someone near the East Bank Middle Waist had a bite as well!

This time, the guy was in luck.

After lifting the rod, the big fish didn’t flee outwards but swam towards the shore instead.

After a short standoff and getting the rhythm of playing the fish in order, he bent the rod and started sliding the fish back and forth.

About ten minutes later, a Carp of around twenty pounds with red wings was successfully landed.

Yue Feng had adjusted the camera to this fish from the moment it was hooked, so the viewers in the live stream could say they saw the entire process of playing the fish from beginning to end!

Yue Feng, having watched the whole scene, now had a rough understanding of the situation with the fish.

The water in the pond was about two and a half meters deep.

The fish was strong, but not as strong as a wild one of the same size.

The buzzing of the rod when pulled indicated strength, and the ten or so minutes spent playing the fish spoke less of technique and more of a brute force approach.

If done more gently, it should have taken about fifteen minutes.

“Not a bad fish!

Feng, are you sure it’s a farmed fish?

It seems almost like a wild one to me!”

“The fish is indeed good, a red-winged, golden-scaled, and slim Grass Carp!

A fish this size would be worth quite a bit over here, easy to sell for 15 yuan a pound!”

Yue Feng cleared his throat, “It is indeed a farmed fish, raised in a semi-free-range environment by Weishan Lake!

I heard it myself from the pit boss when they stocked the fish yesterday afternoon!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a guy four fishing spots to his right had his float go under with two big dips – it went black, and with the strike of the rod, a fish was on!

While speaking, Yue Feng’s gaze still lingered nearby to the front.

The guy was using a visibly thicker tail float designed for bigger catches, and Yue Feng caught the entire process of the bite with his peripheral vision.

But this dude wasn’t so lucky; as he lifted the rod to set the hook, the big fish didn’t turn back, but shot towards the center of the pond instead!

Similar to Qiangzi’s situation, the rod was quickly pulled flat, then with a cut hook snapped back, the fish got away!

With a fish biting, Yue Feng’s relaxed state immediately tensed up.

Located four fishing spots apart, merely a little over ten meters away from Yue Feng, the guy next to him had caught a fish—this meant Yue Feng might have a chance too!

With this in mind, Yue Feng took out the small-sized ‘feeding spoon’ he had prepared earlier from his rod box.

The feeding spoon, also known as the ‘money-wasting spoon,’ is a very convenient little tool used when baiting for large fish, making it easy to throw grains or corn around a fishing spot over ten meters away with much more precision than hand-throwing if you’re skilled.

Since there were fish near the nearby baited spots, it was time to start using the money-wasting spoon technique to lure the fish.

This was a highly effective baiting method; using the spoon to toss seven or eight, maybe more than ten grains around the baiting spot each time, it imitates the state of feed entering the water, which can lure fish that are used to feeding on pellets to your spot.

The method worked very well.

The reason Yue Feng hadn’t made many baiting spots by hand-casting was exactly this—underwater baiting spots could never compare with the periodic top-ups using the money-wasting spoon technique.

“Damn!

I didn’t see that coming, Brother Feng even knows this trick!”

“Smooth moves, precise landing spots, clearly Brother Feng has practiced this!”

“You’re pretty handy with the feeding spoon!

Why didn’t I ever see you use it to top-up the bait at the reservoir before?”

Seeing this, Yue Feng found another opportunity to show off his knowledge: “I see a fellow brother asking me why I didn’t use it in the reservoir, well, we’re not busy at the moment, so let’s just chat about my personal understanding!”

In reservoirs with no feed tossed in, fish are basically in a wild feeding state, not particularly sensitive to grains or old corn bait.

You might even scare the big fish away if they are exceptionally timid and cautious!

But it’s different for farmed fish!

Be it Carp, Black Carp, or Grass Carp, as long as they have grown up being fed pellet feed, this money-wasting spoon method of luring fish can have a positive and effective impact!

The splashing sound of the bait hitting the water, the dynamic lure of it scattering upon entry – all of these can stimulate the fish, drawing them into your baited area from the surroundings!”

While he was talking, Yue Feng noticed his float tremble slightly several times!

He stopped mid-sentence without finishing!

“There’s movement in the bait spot!

Everyone watch closely now!”

A few seconds later, the float suddenly and unexpectedly plunged down twice, Yue Feng didn’t strike yet, and then again, the float sunk completely—black float!

After the black float, he silently counted one, two, three in his mind before finally lifting the rod to set the hook, bending the rod into an arc.

“Strike!

Strike, is it caught?

Why didn’t Brother Feng strike earlier?”

“It probably wasn’t caught; Brother Feng intentionally waited to strike!”

“Counting one, two, three after the black float, my master taught me a similar technique for setting the hook!”

“Brother Feng is so experienced!!”

The force of the big fish was even greater than Yue Feng had anticipated; barely a second after the rod was curved, it struggled fiercely to flee forward.

Yue Feng’s experience was far superior to those guys who had just lost their fish, and seeing signs of losing control, he quickly and deftly plunged the rod into the water!
