Fishing Livestream
Chapter 422 - 422 411 A Promising Seed

422: Chapter 411: A Promising Seed 422: Chapter 411: A Promising Seed Lure baiting was much faster than ragworm, saving at least half the baiting time under the same skill level.

To increase the frequency of casting, Ding Wei used ragworm with a loose powder each time.

By contrast, Yue Feng used lure baiting, and both hooks carried loose powder, resulting in the two basically even in total baiting time.

Considering the current early fish catch rate, the two seemed fairly even, but there was still a significant difference in the amount of bait between a single-hooked scattering bomb and a double-hooked scattering bomb, especially with the cumulative advantage under super high frequency gradually building up.

…

The competition on the field was in full swing.

Mr.

Hua and Yang Wenjian, trailing behind many anglers, soon reached the southeastern corner.

Seeing Yue Feng next to Ding Wei and opposite Han Luofeng, the old man paused briefly, slowed down, and started observing patiently.

In a sense, this friendly match was specifically engineered by the old man to observe and test Yue Feng, especially meaningful since Yue Feng drew a lot next to the club’s official members!

However, after a while, the old man’s brow furrowed.

Yue Feng’s fishing method was very straightforward and aggressive, using double-hooked lure bait with scattering bombs to target double-tail fly kicking near the bottom.

Although Ding Wei also had a high double-tail rate, his rod was slightly softer, utilizing the fly copy method.

Even though both were using the method to snag the early quick fish, Ding Wei’s ragworm was slightly behind, not to mention he was also using the slightly slower fly copy.

After briefly observing, the old man noticed that on average, Yue Feng could cast five times while Ding Wei could only manage four, lagging behind in both fishing efficiency and baiting.

The old man kept his composure but glanced at Yang Wenjian, then shook his head looking at Ding Wei the next second.

This technical aspect was also clear to Instructor Yang.

He signaled towards Han Luofeng, and the two understandingly walked towards the opposite side.

Han Luofeng’s strategy to snatch fish was almost identical to Yue Feng’s, using lure bait with scattering bombs for fly kicking, which looked fine, but there seemed to be something slightly off.

After watching for a while, Instructor Yang could hardly contain himself, leaned into the old man’s ear, and whispered, “Compared to Yue Feng, there seems to be something off with Luofeng!”

The old man squinted and smiled, remained silent, and continued walking forward.

Only when the two reached the entrance area did the old man speak, “Young Yue is indeed a promising talent.

His skills are not inferior to those kids in the club!”

“Master, I always feel there’s something off about Luofeng.

Could you explain?”

The old man said, “Yue Feng’s casting is more precise!

I watched more than ten casts continuously, and each one’s landing spot almost overlapped!

By comparison, Luofeng is worse; his double-hooked bait spreads wider!”

The old man indeed had sharp eyes, quickly identifying the issue.

Such precision in casting was something not even the old man dared to claim he could achieve every time.

Some might wonder at this time, how much impact can slightly more precise casting have in such swift fish conditions?

Well, it truly does make a significant impact!

If there were an underwater perspective available now, in Yue Feng’s baiting spot, the massive amount of loose bait material would form a columnar mist trail from top to bottom.

Whereas on Han Luofeng’s side, the diameter of his columnar mist trail was much coarser and comparatively sparser.

A sparser bait spot naturally leads to a more scattered gathering of the fish.

It might not be noticeable initially when fishing is fast, but as soon as the fish slow down, the difference becomes apparent.

…

In the live stream, initially, everyone was publicly denouncing Ding Wei for showing off, but a few minutes after Yue Feng started fishing, he switched to rapid-fire mode, and the number of people speaking in the public frequency actually dropped.

Everyone was captivated by Yue Feng’s seamless baiting, casting, and catching actions.

The guy made it look so pleasing to the eyes, and the way he handled the fish bites was crystal clear, making the live stream incredibly impactful.

At that moment, a somewhat unfamiliar account posted a message in the public frequency.

Dazed Shark: “This is my first time watching the streamer’s broadcast.

There’s one question in my mind, with over 20,000 people in the stream, why aren’t many people talking?

Is the streamer using a bot protocol?”

“Nonsense, what do you know!

We’re watching the competition, do you understand?

With such fast fish activity and beautiful biting, who has time to chat nonsense in public frequency!”

“Brother upstairs +1, the guy above must be new to our Feng’s streams, just watch and learn slowly!

You’ll learn the ropes!”

“Haven’t seen Feng fishing for a while, feels like his skills have improved again, he’s handling these little pairs so clearly, it’s really comfy to watch!”

Dazed Shark: “I just started fishing recently, and I’m timidly asking everyone, isn’t it just about pulling the fish bitten by the hook next to the fish guard, then removing the fish with a needle stopper?

I see a lot of anglers doing this, is there any difference?”

“Difference?

Let me tell you, there’s a lot to learn here, pay attention to the details.

Feng’s every rod is fitted with Double-hooked Scattering Bombs plus two lures, while most others use just one.

Just that point alone is worlds apart.

Don’t believe me, just keep watching patiently, it won’t be long before that guy, Ding Wei next to him, gets shut down!”

Dazed Shark: “Cut it out, that’s impossible, that fish is biting like crazy, you say shut down just like that!

I don’t believe it!”

“Wanna bet on it!

Feng will definitely shut that guy up next to him!

I bet a bottle of Laoganma!”

“I’m also in with a bottle of Laoganma, definitely, you gotta have absolute faith in Yue Feng!”

Dazed Shark: “You’re on!

But I still don’t believe it!”

Public frequency started various betting interactions, and on the ground, Ding Wei was already feeling a bit uneasy about his fishing activity.

Competitive anglers, who often compete, have an almost instinctual judgment of the fishing activity they face, and the more skilled they are, the more accurate these instincts.

Now Ding Wei was sensing something off about the fish activity at his spot!

Theoretically, with such rapid consecutive fish bites, as the bait accumulated, fishing should have gotten faster, and the float should have hit higher positions.

However, after a stable first twenty minutes, half an hour into fishing, Ding Wei distinctly felt the fish at his spot were starting to dwindle.

For several consecutive casts, he only caught single fish tails, and the catching effect was subpar; Ding Wei knew there were no fish left in his spot.

Dammit!

The fish activity today is a bit eerie!

Ding Wei muttered to himself and changed his strategy, shifting from catching to frantically baiting.

With such low fish density at the spot, if he continued without adjusting the tempo, he feared he might stop catching altogether!

The concept was right, and the strategy was correct, but the situation didn’t improve, on the contrary, the fish bites became even more sparse.

About forty minutes into the fishing, Ding Wei stopped catching!
