Fishing Livestream
Chapter 660 - 660 647 Disfavored

660: Chapter 647 Disfavored 660: Chapter 647 Disfavored Yue Feng said with a chuckle, “I see that many brothers in the live stream look down on rubber band pellets, but they’re severely underestimated in the game at Black Pit!”

“Let me put it this way, rubber band pellets can actually be considered a Divine Bait.”

“Here’s the thing, under normal fishing conditions, you might not get any bites no matter what bait you use, but with rubber band pellets, you might not fish too well, but you definitely won’t end up with the Air Force!”

“I suggest that everyone prepare some when fishing usually, just in case you encounter a situation like today’s, you could really make a big difference!

Now, guess what we’re going to do next?”

“What else could we do, double hook with pellets, scooping up fish!

First, let’s fish out some Fish Tickets, and if the fish are biting well, then we can turn a corner and make a profit from the pit owner!”

“+1 to the above, there’s no need to have any moral scruples against such unscrupulous Black Pit owners!”

“My expensive red worms have gone to waste, only a few people in the whole pit have caught fish, and the density in the pond is not small at all, hurry up and scoop fish!”

Yue Feng shook his head, “You’re all correct, but that’s not the key point!

“If you are in my situation, before switching to rubber band pellets to scoop fish, the first thing you should do is change your fish hook!

That’s the most important point!”

“I’ve already mentioned to you all that today we’re using a size 9 Sleeve Hook with a 1.0 leader!”

“Through trial fishing, I found that the fish bite really hard on pellets, and they bite ferociously, so the Sleeve Hook is no longer suitable.

If we continue using it, we’re sure to encounter problems with fast biting, such as not hooking the fish properly, fish getting away, and so on, which will affect our catch!”

“So, I played it tough, switched to a 1.5 leader, and a size three fine New Kanto hook!

This way, after hooking a fish, we can confidently and boldly reel it in!”

Everyone in the live stream watched as Yue Feng took out scissors and with a snip cut off the still intact double hooks, then he switched to a 1.5 leader, double-hooked with rubber band pellets, and began his performance.

What followed in real action proved that in the Winter Fishing Hall, as long as you pinpoint the fish’s feeding preferences, getting bites isn’t as finicky as everyone imagines,

A 1.5 leader could still get frequent bites, and switching to the size three New Kanto with a wider gap made the hook set more secure, reducing the risk.

Having identified the right approach during the initial trial fishing, it then became Yue Feng’s personal showtime.

Lead Skin soared, double-hooked with rubber band pellets, and Yue Feng’s rod frequency surged as he mainly targeted Carps that swam past the feeding spot, staying off the bottom but biting normally.

The opposite side’s prime location was originally a fish nest.

After scattering the anchor fish, most of the fish did not completely leave the area,

Most anglers at other fishing spots were using red worms with poor results, and the few that did catch something were mostly unsatisfactory Rocket bites.

But it was different for Yue Feng, who could catch a fish every few casts, and then another after a few more casts.

Before he knew it, he had already caught more than twenty fish in succession.

In winter, the market’s young fish tend to be larger.

During the summer and autumn, there are many weighing around two to two and a half pounds,

but in winter, it’s easy to find fish weighing two and three-quarter pounds, with the big ones tipping over three pounds, feeling substantial in hand and weighing heavily, and at three yuan per pound for the fish, almost ten yuan per fish.

After fishing for about an hour, the bites in the fishing spot slowed down, Yue Feng knew that the active fresh-mouthed fish in the pond were likely mostly caught by him now.

What made Yue Feng decide to adjust his rig was due to one fish getting away by mistake,

The fish nibbled tentatively, giving a half-hearted strike, and Yue Feng set the hook, but the fish came off the hook during the fight.

Yue Feng shook his head, “It’s time to switch back to the thinner line setup!

The bite from that fish just now was clearly a struggle; it nibbled and hesitated before finally striking and then ran off midway!”

Once you encounter such situations during fishing where a fish nibbles the bait, but the take is indecisive and half-hearted, it probably means that all the healthy fish have been caught, leaving behind only those that are weaker,

At that point, you can’t continue using large hooks and thick lines, as it’s easy for the fish to struggle with them and unhook itself!”

After switching back to a size 9 Sleeve Hook, Yue Feng gave his viewers another lesson while tying on a rubber band.

“Attaching a rubber band seems simple, but many anglers just stab the hook through the rubber band and call it done, which is actually incorrect!

The proper way is to attach the rubber band with the hook and then push the pellet up, all the way past the rear of the hook shank, so that the hook point is completely exposed.

Apart from that, one has to choose rubber band pellets of the right size according to the size of the hook.

When fishing for Carp, we generally use rubber band pellets with a diameter of 5mm, but for fish with softer bites, such thick rubber band pellets are a bit too large!

You have two choices: either trim it manually, or use smaller rubber bands!

In our Fishing Box, we carry medium-sized 3mm rubber bands; with these, slightly trim the ends of the pellets to make it easier for the fish to swallow!”

As he spoke, Yue Feng found a medium-sized rubber band pellet, trimmed the ends slightly, and attached it to the hook.

Indeed, after a series of adjustments, when the fish nibbled at the bait again, the take was much smoother, and he was able to set the hook correctly.

Between boasting, mingling, and sharing various tips, two and a half hours of live streaming had unknowingly passed, and the bite in the entire fishing pit had greatly slowed down.

Yet Yue Feng was still able to sporadically catch a few fish.

At that moment, the potbellied pit owner sauntered over to Yue Feng’s side.

After returning to his little cabin, Zhang Wenliang had been monitoring the fishing conditions across the pit through the surveillance system.

Many people would be happy to catch three or five fish in a session, but Zhang Wenliang noticed that Yue Feng, who was live streaming with a beautiful woman, was quite efficient at catching fish.

Others had stopped getting bites, but he was still pulling them in.

Zhang Wenliang’s real name is Zhang Wenliang, which sounds pretty good, but his character leaves much to be desired.

Previously known for peddling various diseased pork at the local town, he made a substantial profit but his reputation worsened, and gradually his business faltered.

Later, after hearing from a friend that opening a Black Pit could be very lucrative, Zhang Wenliang became interested.

Following some research and realizing it was a profitable venture, he boldly established the first Winter Fishing Hall in the area.

With the Winter Fishing Hall up and running, he got to grips with the business.

As he saw his venue fill up time after time, he began to cut corners.

Not only did he secretly reduce the number of fish he stocked, but his attitude towards the Anglers worsened, especially towards those like Yue Feng who caught far more than the cost of their Fish Tickets, whom he particularly disliked.

“Yo, buddy, still catching fish?

You haven’t caught a few today, have you?” Zhang Wenliang approached Yue Feng, cigarette in mouth, and started a conversation.

Yue Feng was not fond of this guy, so upon hearing the sound, he just glanced up, nodded, and stayed silent.
