Chapter 788: Chapter 327: Searching for a Fishing Spot_2

Experienced anglers quickly chose a suitable fishing spot.

However, novices or those with insufficient skills were dizzy and haphazard in choosing their fishing spots.

But after searching for a long time, many people still couldn’t determine a good spot.

Some people simply followed where others had decided to set up and directed their captains to head nearby.

They might not know how to operate, but they knew how to copy.

Of course, such a strategy also had a high chance of success since it’s not likely that a school of fish would entertain only one boat.

Even with good luck, it was possible to encounter a school of fish even faster than those who originally found the spot.

In any case, those who were skilled showcased their talents, and those who weren’t thought of other ways; everyone completed the step of finding a fishing spot and quickly started fishing.

After all, the duration of the competition remained the same as before, only four hours, during which each team had to catch three specific types of fish.

Moreover, only the largest fish of each target species was counted for the score, so catching larger target fish was essential.

The most notable competitors in this round were, of course, the masters from well-known clubs.

Among them, two were very special, one of whom was Li Dapen. It was evident that he was confused while choosing a fishing spot and took a long time without finding a suitable one.

It was clear that he was not proficient in sea fishing.

In the end, Li Dapen also followed other inexperienced anglers and chose to share a fishing spot.

He had his captain follow another boat, and eventually, they stopped very close to another team’s boat and began to fish.

From his fishing technique, he seemed unfamiliar, completely lacking the feel of a master.

Which made the audience couldn’t help but criticize.

"It seems Mr. Li’s sea fishing skills are indeed lacking; he’s practically a novice."

"Exactly, watching him handle the bait and locate the fish layer, he looks like he’s learning directly from a textbook."

"Unexpectedly, the veteran master Li Dapen would stumble in sea fishing."

"Li Dapen is from the inland west; he probably never saw the sea as a child, naturally had no exposure to sea fishing, and later immersed himself in pond fishing, honing his pond fishing skills and probably didn’t have the energy to engage in sea fishing."

"It’s quite funny, seeing his clumsy demeanor, I even feel I could guide him a bit in sea fishing."

On the other hand, another person who garnered much attention was Lin Yang.

He was also the most unique one in his team at this station.

Because the three people in his team were sitting in the same boat, while all other teams were split into three separate boats going to different fishing spots.

Li Xiaopeng and Yue’er didn’t have much experience in sea fishing, especially Yue’er. Rather than letting them go out and find fishing spots on their own, it was better to follow Lin Yang.

At least Lin Yang could also help them find fishing spots and schools of fish, thus increasing the speed and probability of catching fish.

Lin Yang directed the captain and soon reached a fishing spot near an area where a lighthouse was located.

Yinzuo Lighthouse stood towering in the sea.

Lin Yang then had the boat stop near the lighthouse and began to fish.

When the three of them started fishing, the host Xia Xiaoxue also began to commentate.

Although she primarily engaged in pond fishing, she was also quite knowledgeable about sea fishing.

She began explaining to the audience the reasons Lin Yang might have chosen this particular spot.

"Firstly, the distance from the shore here is quite suitable, the depth of the sea water is about 100 meters. Additionally, there’s a lighthouse here which provides a very good hideout.

Because there’s a lighthouse, it probably means the sea bed below is more likely to be rocky rather than sandy, as a lighthouse couldn’t be built otherwise. This type of seabed more closely matches many fish species’ living conditions and habits...."

While Xia Xiaoxue introduced the spot,

on the other hand, Wang Changhai’s team, who were very prominent in this station’s competition, also took action independently.

Unlike many other teams, their speed was very fast; they almost immediately rushed to the target spot and started fishing right at the start of the competition.

In Wang Changhai’s boat, the cameraman responsible for the live broadcast seemed quite assertive at the moment.

All along, since he was following Wang Changhai for the live broadcast and Wang Changhai’s performance was lukewarm, their camera was seldom focused on them, garnering very little attention.

But today, just as the competition had started, their footage kept appearing in the main live broadcast room of the production team, something unprecedented.

And as Wang Changhai began fishing, this excitement further increased.

Because just less than 5 minutes after his line went in, he had a bite.

"Guys! Check it out! Brother Hai has got a fish, and it’s putting up a great fight, frenzically stripping line!"

"Brother Hai’s fish controlling and line drawing skills are awesome, look at the speed of his reeling, almost flying, as if he and the fishing rod are one."

"Look, the fish is out of the water now, it’s a big sea bass, probably six or seven pounds!"

Suddenly, Wang Changhai’s live stream was buzzing.

"Looks like this guy being so high-profile isn’t without reason; who would have thought he would be the first to catch a fish and that too a target fish."

"He really has a chance to be the champ today, especially since the other favorite masters have already faltered."

While the fellow anglers were praising him, Wang Changhai also looked towards the live broadcast camera.
