Chapter 512 - 512 499 Control Nest

512: Chapter 499 “Control Nest 512: Chapter 499 “Control Nest The moment he heard the whistle, Yue Feng cast his first rod.

Sitting at a grand edge position fundamentally differed from a regular fishing spot.

Anyone with a bit of fishing knowledge knew that fish in a pond were not stationary; on the contrary, they almost never stayed in one place if the temperature and water temperature were right, moving around most of the time in search of food!

In such conditions, the grand edge positions at the four corners were truly unique within the pond.

Because of various factors like noise or shadows, fish in other spots would avoid getting too close to the edge.

However, the grand edge was an anomaly where fish would naturally pass.

Fishing on this must-pass route was like having a natural “spot” below, where fish constantly swam towards.

Moreover, based on the information he had heard, the fish were also quite fearful of humans; therefore, after starting fishing, Yue Feng didn’t immediately rush to lead skin with the spot but decided to test fish a few rods first to understand the fish situation better.

Two pieces of soft sticky ragworm went into the water, sinking to the bottom without any action.

Yue Feng wasn’t in a hurry.

He teased them a little, and if they didn’t bite immediately, he’d lift the rod and switch spots.

The first rod was directly in front of the nest, and for the second, Yue Feng cast towards the edge on his right side.

The bobber which usually flipped smoothly as it descended behaved a bit differently this time; its sinking slowed down significantly, and once it nearly reached its position, it began to slide downwards.

Now Yue Feng understood; below the grand edge was a fairly steep slope.

The bait from his recent cast had landed on this slope and was slowly sliding down, which was why the bobber appeared abnormally.

Yue Feng watched the bobber until it settled completely, memorizing the position of this grand edge boundary in his mind.

Over the next three casts, Yue Feng reassessed the situation beneath the grand edge, finding it very even and clearly defined!

Now, with this knowledge, Yue Feng hooked a ragworm on one and Loose Powder on the other, casting near the underwater boundary line and quietly observing.

At most places, the first thing upon starting fishing involved lead skin with a nest, and the sound of bait hitting the water was incessant.

The already slightly panicky fish would be even more scared off by baiting the spot.

In contrast, near Yue Feng’s grand edge, Yue Feng and the angler on the opposite grand edge had an understanding not to bait the spot but were slowly tweaking one ragworm and one Loose Powder instead.

The primary task was to discern the fish’s behavior and bite situation, and then to create a small nest to keep any incoming fish.

Startled fish would swim towards what they perceived as safer spots.

So, where was safe?

The middle of the grand edge was a place that offered support and was far from danger.

With Yue Feng’s Loose Powder consistently supplementing the scattered bait in the nest spot, the first batch of fish was quickly retained there.

After all, being an experienced driver, Yue Feng’s understanding of the Fly Kicking technique was just on point.

Without a sufficient density of fish, Fly Kicking was a joke, and gathering enough fish during the early stage of starting fishing to nurture the nest was crucial.

As the first batch of “seed” fish arrived, Yue Feng showed no intention to start angling seriously,

Seeing fish bubbles and occasional line bumps in the nest spot, he simply lowered the already settled bobber by about fifteen centimeters, changing the hooks from one lying on the bottom and one touching the bottom to both being suspended about ten centimeters off the bottom.

The bait used for carp had a relatively high specific gravity, and the remaining buoyancy of the bobber was definitely not enough to lift both baits.

Therefore, in the subsequent actual fishing, what happened baffled the onlookers who didn’t understand.

Yue Feng pinched together two wet Loose Powder baits rather large, and after casting, the bobber crisply flipped into position, then quickly continued to sink, submerging altogether.

It felt like a fish had slyly bitten, causing the bobber to sink.

At this moment, Yue Feng made no adjustments, simply lifting the rod to change the bait and continuing the same process endlessly with the next casts.

“Damn, what is Feng up to again?

Intentionally pulling the bobber down?

Then with each cast, the bobber passively sinks—is he waiting for a bite?”

“There aren’t even any fish in the nest spot, what bite is he waiting for?

Could he be confused, trying to lift the bobber fishing suddenly?

That’s not right either—if there was a problem with a cast or two, he would have realized it immediately!”

This knowledge point was mentioned by Yue Feng a long time ago, so this time it was her chance to shine in front of everyone.

Wawa: “Roar!

Does nobody in the live room know about this strategy?

I know it!

Do you want to know why?

If so, share the live room, and I will reveal the standard answer after one minute!”

Cockroach886 shared the live room and said, “Brother Loose Powder is being naughty again!”

Love Fishing And Love Life shared the live room and said, “Hope it’s not a trick, I really want to know!”

Young Cat Fishing shared the live room!

Playboy Wanderer shared the live room!

…

A group of viewers responded to Wawa’s call and shared the live room, waiting for Wawa to reveal the answer.

Soon a minute had passed, and Wawa said, “Now let’s reveal the answer!

The correct answer is, Brother Feng is controlling the nest!

Yes, you heard right, it’s controlling the nest!

That means artificially controlling the number of fish in the feeding spot!

Those familiar with Brother Feng’s fishing style know that his fishing is always planned and strategic!

This time was no exception!

Everyone saw the sporadic movements in the feeding spot just now, indicating that fish had started coming over, but the first batch of fish were not willing to be caught.

Instead, they were left as bait to lure more fish.

Now by dropping the float by more than ten centimeters before the bait reaches the bottom—already going black float—it allows for more precise control of the bait’s landing spot at the bottom!

If the fish density doesn’t reach a certain level, they basically won’t come up to feed aggressively, this way both the conservation of fish numbers and an increase in casting frequency are achieved!

It might seem illogical, but this is actually a kind of advanced nest-controlling skill!

Actually, Brother Feng had mentioned this once during a live stream before, but perhaps everyone forgot!

Fishing skills shouldn’t go in one ear and out the other; we need to fully understand and put them into practice!”

“Wow, Brother Loose Powder is so insightful!

Such advanced fishing skills explained so thoroughly, another solid take-home lesson!”

“Brother Loose Powder is awesome!

Brother Feng is awesome!”

“Think about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense!

But I have another question; when can we start fishing normally?

We can’t just rely on guessing, right?”

“The question above +1, I want to know too!”

“Seconded!”

Wawa chuckled, this group of friends was thinking too slowly.

“It’s quite simple really, when the float stops being black before a bite, that means the fish layer underneath has become thick enough, ten centimeters from the bottom is roughly a ten-centimeter fish layer, five centimeters from the bottom, that’s a five-centimeter fish layer!

Is it hard to understand?”

“Damn, it clicked, that’s the logic!”

“Then next, Brother Feng is just waiting for a bite, right?

When there’s a bite, that’s when official fishing starts!”

That was indeed Yue Feng’s current plan,
