Chapter 509 - 509 496 A Different Choice

509: Chapter 496: A Different Choice 509: Chapter 496: A Different Choice Having movement meant there were fish ahead, and once the fish were located, it was much simpler to bring them up.

There was no strong bite yet, so Yue Feng lifted the rod again, pushing the lead sinker directly up forty centimeters—the Flying Lead Fishing Method was immediately put into action.

Now, the fishing approach and the fish’s activity were in sync.

After the float turned over, it descended very slowly due to the flying lead, giving the fish beneath more time to bite.

Close to the bottom, about five centimeters from it, there was a slight nibble.

Yue Feng, seeing this, lifted the rod to stab the fish, and he hit the target precisely!

The rod was opened, and the first fish was safely brought to the bank!

Having grasped the strategy, Yue Feng repeated the same technique with the second cast—this time the fish bit at a higher spot, and he caught another one!

After catching two fish in succession, Yue Feng felt confident.

The fish situation in today’s first round was a bit different from what he had anticipated.

Maybe because there were too many people, creating too much noise, the fish had moved forward; it required extended-range fishing, meaning casting as far forward as possible.

All were fresh bites.

Once he got a handle on the fish situation, there were fewer variables.

Yue Feng’s every cast was precisely thrown in a straight line directly in front.

Soon, he got frequent bites.

In the live streaming room.

“Didn’t Brother Feng say the first round is the Fast Fish Zone?

Why doesn’t it seem fast?

The other anglers nearby aren’t catching anything!”

“Brother Feng is analyzing the reason for not catching fish now, right?

He even tried the Stabbing Toad method, but it seems that doesn’t work either!”

“With this fish situation, it’s tough to speed up!

Something feels off!”

“There’s a bite, there’s a bite!

The tall guy next door caught one; it looks like he’s casting a full rod!”

“Brother Feng turned his head and glanced at him, he must have noticed.

Let’s see how Brother Feng performs next!”

“He’s got one, he’s got one!

Brother Feng is truly Brother Feng, his mind works so fast.

No sooner did he cast a full rod than he caught a fish!

This is promising!”

Having hung around Yue Feng’s live streaming room for a while, the viewers’ basic angling skills had considerably improved.

They could now understand and simply analyze some standard angler thoughts and strategies.

Baby felt slightly worried at first when he saw that Yue Feng didn’t catch a fish in over ten casts, but he quickly adjusted and relaxed.

Baby: “Now it looks like Brother Feng has started using the Lead Skin to cast farther; the fish are quite a distance away!

The catch for the first round might not be as exaggerated as in the preliminaries!

Since we’re idling anyway, let’s play another round of tail number guessing for some fun, and offer some benefits to everyone!”

“Brother Vigorous sure is generous.

While Brother Feng is competing, let’s quickly throw in five thousand to ten thousand for the lads to have some fun!”

“Come on, let’s get this small betting game going!

Guys, be quick!”

Seeing the situation, Baby quickly set up the tail number betting game and also arranged a set of small prizes as betting rewards, stirring the viewers’ excitement in the live streaming room.

Meanwhile, on the field, Yue Feng had already caught 11 crucian carps in a row!

These fish were all caught directly in front of him.

Yue Feng also tried casting to a couple of slightly closer spots twice, but the results were poor, and he couldn’t lure the fish over.

While continuing to cast and fish, his brain was rapidly thinking,

Indeed, fishing this way could catch some fish, but it would be quite difficult to get a lead with such a method,

At least for now, his catching speed was almost the same as the angler Mu Lin beside him.

In the southern bank group alone, there were 25 anglers; to get a small lead, one had to stand out.

Since all the fish were up ahead and the bites were good, why not try floating fishing with a full rod?

A perilous idea formed in Yue Feng’s mind.

An hour of competition had already passed five minutes, leaving only fifty-five minutes left.

Deciding to shift to floating fishing now could mean no opportunity to recover if it didn’t work out.

But if he continued to fish in this methodical way, to take a lead and stand out was very challenging.

Compared with the number ten fishing spot, the central aeration system, and the two big edges, there was no advantage at all.

Risk, and there’s a chance.

Not to risk is a slow death,

What to do?

Yue Feng had always been decisive when it came to fishing; gritting his teeth, he decided to take a gamble!

Starting with the next cast, Yue Feng changed the lure from a core type to a skin type, with the bait cluster on the hook noticeably larger.

He then kept his head down and increased the retrieving frequency.

However, after three or four casts, Yue Feng discovered another issue.

After the rod was thrown, the bait’s landing point would hit the water and swing downwards in an arc trajectory,

The lead skin had weight, and under its influence, the swing-down process would speed up to some extent, which meant that some of the bait would land closer to him.

If it were a regular fishing situation, the impact of this detail would be negligible, but for today’s scenario, where the fish are more likely to bite further out, it started to matter.

Thinking this, Yue Feng casually removed the entire lead skin.

With his hands, he tore a tiny strip and wrapped it directly around the float’s feet, and carelessly placed the rest in the food box.

The Flying Lead Fishing Method had thus become lead-free.

After adjusting, Yue Feng once again made a large bait cast to test it out.

Without the weight of the lead skin, casting felt very different, but Yue Feng, with his master-level casting skill, could accurately control the bait’s landing spot.

Sure enough, after the adjustment, the bait’s descent slowed considerably, with more spreading and misting near the first contact point with the water surface.

In the live stream,

The viewers saw Yue Feng catching fish successfully, but then he changed strategies mid-way, removing the lead skin and wrapping it around the float seat, and they were confused.

“What’s going on?

He was catching fish just fine, why adjust again?

Not satisfied with the speed?”

“I don’t get it; what kind of method is this, removing the lead skin; doesn’t that make casting uncomfortable?”

“Damn, looking now, Yue Feng’s basic skills are truly terrifying, no-lead pinpoint casting, I wonder how many top anglers and masters in the fishing arena today can do that.

No way, I need to screenshot this for a meme, this is scary stuff to those who know their fishing!”

“Haha, you’re slow to react mate, I’ve already had my meme approved and uploaded!

Yue Feng’s fishing skill is definitely top-notch, I predict, it won’t be long before this becomes a new fishing skill challenge!”

…

Having made up his mind, Yue Feng’s rhythm was very fast, casting rod after rod in quick succession.

With the method adjusted, naturally, the fish stopped biting.

Initially, Mu Lin was keeping an eye on Yue Feng, but noticing that Yue Feng started to rapidly increase his frequency without success, he scoffed and had already written off Yue Feng in his mind.

Anglers have different personalities, and their technical styles during fishing also vary.

Despite his burly appearance, Mu Lin’s fishing methods were quite delicate, and he fished very steadily, rarely making mistakes with the scores within his reach.

In his view, it was unwise to gamble when one had a steady strategy that could yield fish.

If you fold in the first round, then it’s too late to catch up later!

Mu Lin and Yue Feng had their reasons, but Yue Feng’s perspective was clearly farther ahead.

Playing it by the book when the odds were slim, banking hopes on later rounds, was not Yue Feng’s style.

He aimed to win, and to win splendidly!

After casting over thirty times, Yue Feng intentionally hooked two pieces of standard-sized bait and tried a cast.

The fish didn’t bite immediately; the double-baited hooks slowly drifted for a while before reaching the mid-layer, and at the count of eight in Yue Feng’s head, he got a bite, hooking a fish!

Given Yue Feng’s understanding of his line assembly and float, in a no-lead state (with only a small amount of lead skin on the float seat to assist the flip), the double-hooked bait would take at least sixteen to eighteen seconds to reach its spot.

Now, getting a bite at eight seconds suggested that the fish were positioned about ninety centimeters from the bottom.

It seemed that casting continuously had its effects.

There’s hope!

Time to ramp up the firepower!
