Chapter 691 - 691 678 Testing Fishing for Big Mouth Bass Part 2

691: Chapter 678 Testing Fishing for Big Mouth Bass (Part 2) 691: Chapter 678 Testing Fishing for Big Mouth Bass (Part 2) One of my favorite color combinations is the red-headed, white-bodied sinking pencil.

Throughout my vast competitive career, it has never let me down!

The big mouth bass is a covert predator, lurking in places where small fish are found and then launching sudden attacks.

So, to fish well, a high demand for the underwater structure is necessary!

It’s best to choose spots with tree stumps, debris, and rock piles for attempting!

Besides this, the physiological structure of the big mouth bass leans toward upward feeding, that is, launching surprise attacks from the bottom.

If the water is shallow, it can even feed at the surface like a snakehead, using surface fishing gear is possible, but the success rate is not high.”

From Lawrence’s briefing, Yue Feng learned quite a bit about the habits of the big mouth bass, and comparatively, his understanding had gradually started to form an initial judgment.

“The part of the lake where we are currently fishing hosts numerous competitions every year.

Many spots are no longer secret.

Tomorrow, when the competition officially starts, I’ll have the Captain assist you!”

“Today, you’d better remember the positions of all the major spots.

It will be very helpful for improving your score!

Look, there’s an underwater sediment structure not far ahead.

Let’s go cast a few tries!”

After about seven or eight minutes, the yacht stopped.

Several dead trees showed half their tops above the water, making them very easy to identify.

At that moment, Yue Feng used his angler skill to scan this fishing spot and indeed, the spot lit up in bright blue, indicating it was very suitable for fishing.

“Are there dead trees down there?” Yue Feng asked.

“Yes, these trees grew when the water level used to be lower.

They were later submerged when the water rose.

That area is quite shallow, only about one and a half meters deep, and big mouth bass often frequent it!

Just pick any lure you like and give it a try!”

As he spoke, Lawrence had already tied the lure and with a graceful swing of his arm, cast it out.

After years of fishing, Lawrence had very solid fundamentals.

The lure, like a bird, accurately landed about half a meter from the tree top, quickly sinking into the water.

After pausing for about two to three seconds, Lawrence started reeling in, rhythmically teasing the rod tip to make the lure underwater exhibit certain swimming motions.

During this process, Yue Feng stayed silent, didn’t even cast his rod, and focused all his attention on Lawrence’s actions, fearing to miss any detail.

It was evident that he was very familiar with the water depth and fishing technique here, and controlled the reeling rhythm very well.

The first cast yielded no catch, so Lawrence switched to another spot and cast again.

Three continuous casts covered the surrounding area of the spot, but luck wasn’t good, and no signs of big mouth bass predation were seen.

Yue Feng took out a red-headed, silver-bodied sinking pencil lure from his own box, skillfully tied it, and with a swoosh, cast it out.

His landing spot was even more precise than Lawrence’s, the lure accurately falling between two tree branches.

This area was also a blind spot that Lawrence had missed in several casts.

Yue Feng judged that if there were any fish hiding, they were likely in this spot.

As soon as the lure hit the water, Yue Feng began to sense the state of the lure.

His previous experience in Palau had enlightened him about the subtle differences in the state of the lure after it hit the bottom, which was quite applicable here.

About four seconds later, the lure reached the bottom.

Yue Feng flicked his wrist, combining it with reeling to make the lure make its first accelerating movement.

The lure underwater, like a small fish entering an obstacle, slightly sped up before sensing imminent danger in an attempt to leave the area.

Just then, a dark shadow swooped out from its hiding place and burst forward with an attack.

The immense negative water pressure violently sucked in the lure, and in an instant, the predator had engulfed it.

Yue Feng only felt a sudden stop at the tip of his rod, followed immediately by a huge force.

Right beside was an obstacle; Yue Feng dared not slacken the line lest the fish dart into the obstacle and lose the bait.

So Yue Feng immediately lifted the rod to hook the fish, the rod bent, and he struck it!

“Fish on!” Yue Feng shouted as he began reeling the rod back in.

From the beginning to the end, Yue Feng’s performance was all observed by Zhang Lin and Lawrence, but neither had expected that Yue Feng would catch a fish on his very first cast.

That was simply magical.

A moment later, Yue Feng had reeled in a Big Mouth Bass about forty centimeters long, a great start to the session!

“Is this the Big Mouth Bass?” Yue Feng bent down and used the fish controller to latch onto the fish’s mouth, effortlessly removing the hook.

Lawrence nodded.

“I’m somewhat envious of your strength!

The area between those two trees, I wasn’t confident about casting there, but you nailed it on your first try!”

“Heh, just luck, really.

Is this fish big enough for the requirements?” Yue Feng asked, giving another look at his catch.

Zhang Lin pulled out a ruler, measured the fish, and nodded, “Just over the standard, it’s a valid catch!”

“This isn’t too hard!” Yue Feng casually released the fish, saying indifferently.

“Umm…” Zhang Lin did not know what to say.

Fengfeng sensed the subtle shift in the atmosphere and timely pulled Yue Feng’s arm, reminding him in a low voice, “Fengfeng, be a bit more humble!”

Lawrence wasn’t particularly bothered by Yue Feng’s rudeness and spoke earnestly, “Actually, if the casting is precise enough and you’re very familiar with the surrounding environment, it isn’t hard to land Big Mouth Bass with a good catch!

The charm of Big Mouth Bass competitions often lies in skill enhancement, not just pure luck.

Those with experience and skill are sure to perform well!

However, I’d like to especially remind you that besides technique, the influence of competing anglers also plays a role.

Remember, once the competition starts, everyone is allowed to fish at a designated spot!”

Yue Feng scratched his head, a sheepish smile appearing on his face.

“Heh, I understand what you mean, let’s try a different spot!

This time, let’s cast from different positions along the gunwale and bow.”

“Agreed!” Lawrence responded.

No wonder Yue Feng was so confident; with solid fundamentals putting him at a distinct advantage, the other issues weren’t a concern.

Whether or not the spot had fish, Yue Feng could discern by a glance at color variations, and precise casting was his strong suit, making his prospects of winning quite substantial.

The captain moved the boat forward less than a hundred meters before stopping again.

There was no visible structure here, but Yue Feng’s keen eyes spotted a promising fishing area towards the southeast.

Needless to say, it was a submerged structural spot!

Perhaps trying to recover his dignity, Lawrence, without any commentary, casually cast his lure toward the submerged spot.

Yue Feng, not to be outdone, chose the same spot and cast his line.
