CHAPTER 1086: CHAPTER 1067: GUESSING THE TIMING

"Alright, I admit defeat! This fishing condition is completely different from what I expected!

I thought Xiaomin would have to bait the area for a long time before the fish would gather! It seems the efficiency is much higher than anticipated!"

"Not necessarily, achieving a good float level also depends on the type of fish and the feeding methods, aside from fish density!

If it’s a pond where they feed various distillers grains and other scraps, or where the fish are used to eating bait near the surface, you might even draw the fish to the water’s surface! But such ponds are rare now!

Fish in this season usually come from professional freshwater fish markets, sources can be quite complex! We can’t have extreme control over the fish sources!"

"Alright, you’ve given me a new perspective on farmed crucian carp!

Regarding my previous question, how long do you think it will take for Xiaomin’s side to stabilize the area and start a normal, fast pace of fishing?"

Tian Tian, still curious after Yue Feng’s little joke, added some conditions and asked again.

Yue Feng chuckled, "If you ask that way, I can’t say for sure!

The fishing condition seems simple, and it looks like many anglers are already catching fish on every cast,

but Xiaomin is quite bold and has chosen a very distinctive fishing method! I guess he’ll only start catching fish normally when the conditions meet his expectations before starting to fish!

Just a wild guess, let’s say about fifteen to twenty minutes!"

"What? That long?" Tian Tian was puzzled by Yue Feng’s irresponsible guessing time.

Clearly, the fish are very active on the field, and it’s at a stage where there’s a lot of competition for fish, some have already caught five or six, yet Yue Feng guessed fifteen to twenty minutes. Isn’t that the same as when he drew number six in the opening match and took that much time to gather the fish?

If he keeps baiting for that long, what level of aggregation does he expect?

Yue Feng grinned, "Didn’t I say, this conclusion is estimated based on Wang Xiaomin’s chosen tactics!

Drawing the fish off the bottom and drawing them to a high level or even to the surface are two different concepts! Ignoring the original fish habits, just looking at the quantity, the density requirement of the fish group in these two situations differs by at least an order of magnitude!"

"Alright, let’s follow your advice, and with the viewers in the live stream, patiently watch how Xiaomin adjusts the fishing conditions!"

When Yue Feng heard the mention of live stream viewers, he remembered, "Oh right, I almost forgot, we’ve been live for ten minutes now, right?

Everyone in the live stream, please pay attention, if you haven’t shared our live stream link, please help and share it!

In a minute, I’ll put up five thousand free trial kits of Yuefeng Fishing Tackle! Thank you all!"

At this moment, the number of simultaneous online viewers in Yue Feng’s live stream has exceeded one hundred thousand, with more than sixty thousand holding the level seven fan badge. Those are all die-hard fans.

Under Yue Feng’s call, a new wave of fan sharing began, with the numbers soaring in the share statistics.

After a minute, Yue Feng kept his promise, directly opening the one-cent shopping benefit, adding five thousand free trial kits, clicked confirm, and started the luck test!

In the live stream with over a hundred thousand viewers, the five thousand gifts were gone in just one second!

"Wow haha, I got it! Got the trial set!"

"Live stream sharing arranged, let’s go, let’s go! Brother Feng is awesome!!"

"Damn it, my phone lagged for a second when I clicked to purchase, refreshed, and it was gone!"

"Got two sets, thirty years of single life hand speed, are you impressed or not, hahaha, profited big time!"

...

Yue Feng glanced at the chat, "It’s just a simple little event, don’t be discouraged if you didn’t get it!

After all, this season, there aren’t many places to fish! Most people don’t have the conditions to fish indoors in Winter Fishing Halls! And in most Winter Fishing Halls, the fishing condition is not significant enough for additives to make a difference!

Our new trial kits are more suitable for fishing in open water when the temperature rises in spring!"

Yue Feng was chatting with the viewers about some usage details of the trial kits, when suddenly Tian Tian exclaimed.

"Oops, Xiaomin made a mistake!"

Hearing this, Yue Feng quickly glanced at Wang Xiaomin.

This poor guy, during the high-frequency baiting stage, unfortunately hooked onto a large Kuangjing halfway through and after a stalemate, the fish pulled and snapped the line!

This was the first time Yue Feng had seen Wang Xiaomin break a main line during a match; normally, Wang Xiaomin is quite well-prepared in terms of fishing equipment.

"No worries, it’s not a big deal! We’re still in the baiting stage, and he pretty much pulled it out of the baited area before it snapped! Let’s see how he handles this situation next!"

Wang Xiaomin was a bit annoyed by the line break, but soon calmed his emotions with reason.

Wang Xiaomin, who usually used specialized supply fishing lines, rarely had issues with line setup while fishing. As soon as he encountered a problem with this line, he immediately thought of the cause.

Last night while preparing the main line in the dorm, Wang Zhen and Xue Kai were fooling around in front of him, possibly stepping on it when leaving!

The float was dragged away by the fish and could only be retrieved after the match. Wang Xiaomin quickly replaced it with a new spare line and attached a backup float, continuing the previous baiting rhythm.

Actually, choosing today’s fishing method, Wang Xiaomin was a bit nervous, because theoretical feasibility doesn’t guarantee practical results; these are two concepts.

Wang Xiaomin hadn’t used a similar method before, and the decision was entirely based on his judgment of the fish conditions and his understanding.

The two matches yesterday had low scores, and today’s target fish was crucian carp, which he was very skilled at catching, so the chances of winning were quite high. If things went wrong this time, it would significantly impact the overall score.

After a few quick adaptations, Wang Xiaomin found his casting rhythm again, slowly sensing the changes in the fish layer and the subtle movements of the float, and before he knew it, more than ten minutes had passed.

In these ten minutes, on some fishing spots where they started catching fish right away, some people had already caught nearly twenty fish, while Wang Xiaomin still had only the first fish he caught in the Fish Guard, but he remained calm.

After each cast, Wang Xiaomin carefully felt the changes in the fish layer in the baited area, and after several casts, he noticed that the fish were biting high up the layer. He breathed a sigh of relief, lowered the float by thirty centimeters, and continued the same routine.

After a few more attempts, the fishing depth reached about 70 centimeters above the bottom area, and with a total water depth of about 1.6 meters, it was close to being above the mid-water level.
