Chapter 528 - 528 515 Be On Guard

528: Chapter 515: Be On Guard 528: Chapter 515: Be On Guard With his first cast, Yue Feng threw two larger-than-usual balls of bait into the nest with his twin hooks.

Not sure if it was the guy who sat in the second spot in the last round who had put effort into preparing the spot, but as soon as the first cast sank, the float still hovered about ten centimeters from the bottom, it got bitten.

The fish were biting ferociously, giving the impression that a swarm of fish was frenziedly feeding without any fear of humans.

Yue Feng missed the first bite, but on the second, he lifted the rod and struck accurately, securing the first fish in the keepnet.

He cast to the same spot on his second attempt and got another bite, again landing a fish in the keepnet.

The third attempt was even more dramatic, yielding a double catch.

Three casts at the start of fishing, and he already caught four fish!

That speed was a bit frightening.

In theory, if such an opportunity presented itself, the most ideal scenario would be for Yue Feng to continue fishing at this same spot.

Letting the work of others provide shade for you could prove to be quite advantageous over the course of the competition.

However, before the competition, Teacher Hua, Coach Ma, and others repeatedly reminded Yue Feng to remain vigilantly on guard at all times.

Should he continue fishing at this spot?

Or should he try to move as far away from Hu Changsheng as possible?

Now that the competition had just started, the choice was in Yue Feng’s hands.

If he waited a while longer, once the opponent finished preparing his new spot and Yue Feng then tried to adjust, he would be at a disadvantage!

Remembering the fear he had in past matches when an opponent sabotaged his nest with poison, Yue Feng did not cling to the ready-made spot but made as much effort as possible to start a new spot by casting towards the large edge on side 25.

An angling position is two and a half meters wide, with the angler’s fishing box pressing down on the seat number, situated right at the center of the position.

From the nest directly in front of him to near the boundary line on the right side, roughly one meter twenty to the side.

Starting with his fourth cast, Yue Feng made the bait’s drop point on the right near the boundary line, completely abandoning the spot directly in front.

In the following five minutes, Yue Feng did nothing but cast large balls, burying his head and drawing them in vigorously, as quickly as he could, with a maximum casting frequency!

The nest at the bottom had barely any bait left for the fish to eat, since an hour had passed between the end of the last match and the start of this one.

Now with Yue Feng’s activity on the side, the nearby school of fish quickly reacted and started to move closer.

When he got the first bite after switching spots, Yue Feng stole a glance at Hu Changsheng using his peripheral vision.

This casual glance was significant—he saw that Hu Changsheng’s strategy was almost identical to his own, also located near the boundary line between their fishing positions.

If Yue Feng had been lazy and continued fishing at the same nest, from a tactical standpoint he would likely be influenced by the competitor merely 1.2 meters away.

Although Hu Changsheng looked expressionless and seemingly at ease, he was cursing inside.

Dammit, Yue Feng was too cunning.

After catching several fish in a row, one might think he would continue exploiting the old nest, but with a feint, he had unexpectedly shifted his frequent casting to the far right near the boundary line!

With a gap of 1.2 meters, Hu Changsheng had countless ways to effectively disrupt Yue Feng next to him.

But with a separation of around 2.5 meters, many tricks become useless, especially when there was already a school of fish in the other’s nest and the bait was exactly what they wanted.

For a professional angler like Hu Changsheng, as long as the competition wasn’t over, he would not give up trying,

Though the first plan didn’t pan out, Hu Changsheng did not give up, instead, he pulled out his Plan B.

He opened his fishing box and took out a bottle of the scented powder “Thousand Miles Fragrance” and quickly sprinkled it onto the surface of the Lure bait ball, then continued to cast his rod and fish.

Thousand Miles Fragrance, a type of composite scent additive, actually works quite well when faced with very active fish behavior.

It has strong penetration and the effect of attracting and gathering fish is also quite notable.

The Thousand Miles Fragrance that Hu was using was a special version provided internally for his team.

It had a higher concentration, better effects, and included several subtly adjusted basic scents.

It had always been the choice for fishing situations where quick catches were expected.

Hu himself was already out of the running, so his primary goal was to sabotage Yue Feng.

Therefore, he liberally sprinkled about two capfuls of Thousand Miles Fragrance without any reservations, making the entire fishing spot emit a strong odor.

At this point, some might ask, isn’t this considered sabotage by poisoning the bait?

Doesn’t anyone care?

Indeed, no one cares!

The use of scented additives in competition is a very grey area, unless someone is sneaking around with obviously toxic and harmful substances or wrapping high-concentration powder in bait and throwing it into someone else’s fishing spot.

In Hu Changsheng’s case, where he openly added the additive, and it was a familiar scent type, even if the Referee came over, he could not possibly be accused of poisoning or sabotage.

Moreover, the amount that Hu added was far from enough to deter the fish from eating.

Now wasn’t the time for that step.

Hu still wanted to trip up his opponent fair and square based on his own understanding of fishing!

However, the usually foolproof trump card in his fishing approach was not producing the expected results today.

Although Hu caught a few fish and there was activity in his baited spot, Yue Feng seemed completely unaffected.

Doll has been watching in the live streaming area since the start of the competition, focusing most of her attention on Hu.

As soon as Doll noticed that Hu intentionally set up his baited spot near the boundary line of his fishing position, she knew that Yue Feng’s judgment and warnings were correct.

This guy was trying to interfere with her boyfriend.

Doll said with slight dissatisfaction, “Humph!

Dear viewers of the live stream, after watching for so long, have you noticed the highlight of this competition?

This is the current state of competitive Taiwan Fishing competitions, not even the highest-level Guangwei Fishing King Cup can stay above it all!”

“What do you mean by that, Bro?

I didn’t get it.

Can someone who’s a big fishing enthusiast explain?”

“Complaining about the competition?

What happened?

I wasn’t paying much attention.”

“Is it about the guy next door, who didn’t fish right in front his position, but deliberately set his bait on the boundary line?”

“Hey, that seems to be the case.

But Brother Feng’s bait spot is also on the boundary line, isn’t it?

What’s going on?

I don’t quite understand!”

Doll, not being from the Taiwan Fishing circle, had no scruples and spoke quite frankly, “According to the rules of Taiwan Fishing competitions, every Angler is allowed to fish in all the areas in front of their rod tip.

But normally, the vast majority of people will fish at the spot directly in front of them!

Now, as everyone can see, Brother Feng caught four fish with his first three casts at the start, and instead of fishing at such a prime bait spot, he moved his new bait spot near the boundary line that he shares with position number 25!

That’s not the point.

The point is that the Angler next door also chose to place his bait near the boundary line!

Brother Feng has one point after five rounds, and his position in this round isn’t bad, giving him the chance to score some points!

And that guy next door, if I’m not mistaken, seems to be the deputy leader of Tianyuan, who’s already botched two rounds yesterday, putting his chance for the championship out of reach!

Now this situation has arisen.

We, as a streamer, should stand on neutral ground when speaking.

I won’t speculate maliciously on anything; as for what’s really going on, those with keen eyes can watch and think for themselves!”
