Chapter 659 - 659 646 Recognizing Rubber Band Particles

659: Chapter 646: Recognizing Rubber Band Particles 659: Chapter 646: Recognizing Rubber Band Particles After a while, anglers at the southeast corner completely scattered the group of fish beneath them, and more anglers around the fishing ground started catching fish.

Yue Feng noticed this and said, “See that?

The guys across are starting to catch fish.

Looking at their posture, it should be a bite.

Let’s lift the lead a bit and see if there’s an off-bottom junction in the travel!”

After finishing speaking, Yue Feng lifted the Lead Skin about thirty centimeters, hung a red worm on one hook, and on the other hook, he hung a red elastic particle.

Sure enough, after the adjustment, the first pole went down and the float started moving, puffing continuously with a range of about two eyes, and the movements were very exaggerated.

The continuous bit was definitely not line rubbing, and seeing this, Yue Feng lifted the rod to hook the fish, off we go!

The force was transmitted from the fish underwater to the line set, then through the rod into Yue Feng’s hands.

The size of the fish was decent, it resisted slightly underwater but was quickly brought to the surface by the rod.

Yue Feng didn’t use any fancy Fly Kicking or Fly Copying techniques, he simply lifted his arm and pulled the fish across the surface of the water, safely into the net.

Picking up the net, Yue Feng pinched the fish’s gill cover from behind the net mesh; the fish that was quite active a second ago, quieted down instantly.

Yue Feng glanced at the hook in the fish’s mouth and made a new discovery.

The urgent and continuous biting action was not from the red worm, but from the elastic particle that Gong Zheng had just hung on the lower hook.

Today, in the initial stage of fishing, Yue Feng used a 1.0# sub-line and a size nine King Sleeve fish hook, which had a gate width similar to a number one new Kanto,

This size of the hook was slightly reluctant to hold the elastic particle, but there seemed to be no issues with the first fish he brought up.

The fish swallowed the bait deeply, with the hook point caught on one side of the mouth cavity.

From the position of the hook in the mouth, it could be inferred that the fish greatly recognized the elastic particle, exhibiting a strong feeding desire.

“Yo, I didn’t expect such a surprising gain, guys!

Now I know what to use today!” Yue Feng said cheerfully, hanging a red worm on one hook and another elastic particle on the other.

While unhooking just now, Yue Feng almost didn’t pause, the position of the hook and what bait the fish were eating passed too quickly for anyone to see clearly; hearing Yue Feng knowing what to use, everyone on the public channel started asking.

“What is it?

What was it eating just now?

Its movements were like the summer feeding frenzy, ‘puff puff’!”

“I guess it’s the red worm!

It took the bait off the bottom, fish didn’t go down!”

“It seems so, I just caught a glimpse of red but didn’t see clearly, come on Feng, don’t play the guessing game, tell the brothers!”

Yue Feng didn’t rush to reveal the answer, teased a bit after casting without a bite, calmly lifted the rod, and cast again.

“Don’t rush to reveal the answer, let’s try again!”

This casting was about fifteen centimeters off the bottom, puff puff, and it gave a bite almost exactly like the first fish.

Caught another fish!

And it was a proper bite again.

Both fish bitten the elastic particle aggressively, not at all like the feeding action carp should have this season.

Yue Feng scooped up the fish and held it in his hand: “Alright, no more secrets, let’s reveal the mystery!

Ta-da!

Ta-da!

Ta-da!

Let’s see what the fish was eating!”

The camera switched to a close-up shot of the fish’s mouth.

The King Sleeve hook was positioned a bit inside the big ring of the fish’s mouth, and the red elastic particle was still on the hook’s handle, not yet fallen off.

“Damn?

Rubber band pellets?”

“666666, even the fish in the winter greenhouse recognize rubber band pellets!

What an eye-opener!”

“Seeing how it just took the bait, this fish really trusts the pellets!”

Yue Feng: “This proves that there’s no one right way to fish; the most suitable method is always the best, and that’s an absolute truth in fishing!”

“They say fish don’t bite much in winter and can hardly open their mouths, but who would have thought they’d take to pellets this smoothly!

It almost swallowed the hook deep down its throat!”

“What’s going on, Brother Feng?

Don’t many fishing masters say that winter carp need to supplement protein and recognize bloodworms?”

“I’m just as curious.

To be honest, this is beyond what I know.

I rarely use rubber band pellets in summer fishing; I always felt these things were unreliable!”

Yue Feng explained: “When I used to livestream at Black Pit, I’ve mentioned this issue before.

There are many followers in the livestream room who joined us later.

Let’s talk about it again today!”

“The commercial fish that are stocked have different farming methods!

These differences affect the feeding habits of the fish as they grow up.”

“For example, some are intensively farmed in ponds with daily feedings!

They also supplement with soybean meal and distiller’s grains to reduce costs.”

“Fish raised in such environments are sensitive to pellet-shaped feed and loose distiller’s grains; when relocated to Black Pit, they recognize both pellets and Loose Powder really well.”

“There are also some fish that are fed more on by-products of grains and hardly get commercial feed.

These fish are not so sensitive to pellet-shaped baits.”

“However, both types of fish have natural feed like bloodworms in their normal living environments.

They can naturally ingest them as they grow, so using bloodworms also gets a bite, and they eat quite well.”

“Now some of you might ask, are there any cultured fish that don’t recognize bloodworms?”

“Yes!

The fish we’re fishing today, I assess, are highly likely not to recognize bloodworms!”

“Has anyone guessed how they were raised?

Put on your thinking caps; the answer will be revealed in five seconds!”

This question indeed stumped the average anglers.

There were those who could fish, but few knew about fish farming.

All kinds of guesses were made, but no one hit the mark.

After five seconds, Yue Feng said, “Announcing the answer, it’s very likely these fish are the legendary reservoir cage fish!”

“Reservoirs generally have a high water level, and as bottom-dwelling fish, if carp are released there, they’d be hard to catch!”

“That’s when the smart fish farmers think of cage farming.

They use cages about two meters deep, floating on the water’s surface.

They stock the fish and then feed them pellet feed regularly every day.

Once the fish grow to a certain size, they’re sent to market!”

“Why do I say many of these fish don’t recognize bloodworms?”

“Bloodworms are midge larvae that live in the organic rich sediment of bodies of water, and you can find them in places like the smelly ditches by our rivers!”

“But the fish raised in cages are in a higher water layer, usually without any trace of bloodworms!”

“Having never fed on them from small to grown, when new fish are put into Black Pit, they naturally don’t recognize them well!

In our fishing experience, the fish aren’t too sensitive to bloodworms!”

“Holy smokes, Brother Feng knows such details, that’s awesome!”

“Damn, learned something new today!”

“I’ve encountered what Brother Feng described at Black Pit.

Once I went there to poach and the fish outright refused to take the bloodworms.

Switched to paste bait and they ate well.

At night, they all used worm bait, no bites, so I went up the bank back home!”
