Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Drones Teach You How to Choose a Fishing Spot
Yesterday, I experienced drone live streaming. After the novelty wore off, many viewers weren't as enthusiastic today. As for showing off equipment, you can't update and change it every day, so it's not a lasting strategy.
"Damn, I'm still inexperienced. It seems that if you want good streaming results, you can't just start fishing without proper preparation. You must at least have baited the spot!" Yue Feng muttered to himself.
Ding! Every job isn't as simple as it appears to outsiders. Congratulations on gaining a new understanding of live streaming!
Reward: Lottery Points +300
Ding! System notification! The average number of viewers in the first ten minutes of the stream is less than 1/50 of the total number of followers, and the current live performance is rated as poor. Please, streamer, find a way to change this situation. Being at a poor rating for a long time will affect the backend weight score of the streaming platform.
While the reward was okay, the second system notification made Yue Feng slightly worried. He needed to come up with a plan.
Just then, Yue Feng's WeChat pinged, reminding him.
Right, besides getting viewers from the live chat to share, I can share it myself. The content itself isn't the issue; it's just that the opening is slow.
Having thought of a solution, Yue Feng finally settled down. He quietly waited for the fish to start biting at the baited spot and then shared the link in his friends circle and fishing groups.
Whether it was by skill or luck, just 15 minutes after baiting the spot, Yue Feng started seeing signs of bites. It was stars of fish and various baits sinking into the water attracting the fish, signaling to Yue Feng that his baited spot was attracting fish and they could start biting at any moment.
Seeing the perfect timing, Yue Feng shared his stream link to his WeChat friends circle and fishing groups.
New to streaming, explosive series of big crucian carp at Wangjiazhuang river section!
Whether it was Yue Feng's WeChat friends or the group members, most of the fishermen were locals. The Wangjiazhuang river section, being a famous wild fishing spot, immediately triggered recognition about the location. Seeing Yue Feng's shared information piqued their curiosity, and they started clicking to watch without hesitation.
This prompted a rise in the popularity of the live stream.

Riverbank Angler: "Bro, what are you using to stream? The clarity is good, and the angle is quite unique. Have the fish started biting? I am Liu Fengnian!"
True to being a big shot, Liu Fengnian entered the stream and immediately sent three significant gifts, totaling almost two hundred bucks.
Yue Feng switched the camera to his face and said, "Thanks for the gifts, Big Brother Liu. I'm using a drone for the live stream. I've just finished baiting, and you can already see the fish stars. If you switch to 4k, you should be able to clearly see the surroundings of the baited spot!"
Following Yue Feng's reminder, many newcomers to the stream quickly switched to 4k mode, and indeed, the view became much clearer!
"It really is. The floats and fish stars are clearly visible. Next time, put '4k view' in the title, bro, you'll definitely get a lot of followers coming to watch!"
Yue Feng was quick on the uptake and nodded, saying, "Thanks for the tip from the angler. I'll include that in the title for the next stream! While the fish aren't biting in succession yet, let's use the drone to show everyone the surrounding environment of the fishing spot! It's not usually this convenient when fishing."
"That's a great idea, teaching everyone how to select fishing spots, really making full use of the drone's advantages!" a viewer chimed in.
Yue Feng's thoughts stirred, and the drone, which was hovering less than two meters high, began to ascend, quickly reaching an altitude of at least 30 meters.
"Wow, I thought it was just hype, but it's actually a drone broadcast! So high, the people below look like tiny ants!"
"Damn, I just realized I'm a bit afraid of heights. I can't handle the 4k, it's too clear and it's making my head dizzy!"
"Isn't the host supposed to teach us how to choose fishing spots? Let's get started!"
Seeing that the live room had become much livelier, Yue Feng finally relaxed and organized his thoughts briefly before starting to explain.
"In wild fishing, choosing a fishing spot is very important, as it affects the final catch of a fishing activity. Although we can't see the underwater environment, we can use some other methods to make a simple distinction. Taking the river section you see now as an example, the preferred fishing spot is located at the tip of the spade!"
At this point, Yue Feng's thoughts stirred again, and he quickly zoomed in the camera, giving a close-up aerial view of the area near the spade.
"Holy shit! How much zoom is that? Not to mention the excessive smoothness, it still maintains such clarity!"
"The host's equipment is awesome"
"Everyone quiet down, let's focus on the lesson!"
After the close-up, Yue Feng continued to explain the chosen fishing spots.
"It's best to have a spade jutting into the water. If not, how do you choose a fishing spot? In my opinion, an eddy that provides food and hiding spots for fish is also worth a try!
Also, even though it looks quite flat onshore, spots near underwater ravines with varying depths are good fishing spots – fish in the shallows if there are two deep and one shallow areas, and fish in the deep if there are two shallow and one deep areas."
As Yue Feng finished speaking, he deliberately zoomed in the camera again, marking the fishing spots that hadn't appeared with gray marks before.
"These fishing spots are all viable options, usually conforming to one of the principles I mentioned earlier!"
"On the contrary, the fishing spots I am going to mark next generally have little fishing value. They are usually too shallow, the terrain is too flat with no hiding places for fish, or they have deep cliff faults that are not easy to bait and gather fish,"
Yue Feng's explanation might be well known to many experienced anglers, but just verbally explaining it tends to be hard to understand. However, illustrating it now with an aerial view using the drone is a different matter entirely.
From the drone's camera above, one can see the variations in water color caused by different water depths. Landforms like eddies, spade tips, and underwater channels, because of the depth variations, can all be clearly and vividly seen.
Now, the fishermen who had little idea about choosing fishing spots all suddenly realized why they hadn't been catching fish; choosing a fishing spot alone involved such deep knowledge.
"Not bad, this is good, I learned a lot today!"
"I always wondered why my catch never improved. It turns out the spots I chose were all wrong!"
"Although spade tips are good, good spots are fiercely contested. If you want to catch good fish, you still have to get up early to claim a spot!"
As he touched on a point of interest for everyone, the volume of discussion suddenly increased, and the atmosphere in the live room gradually improved.
Seeing the live room enter a positive feedback loop, Yue Feng breathed out lightly, finally managing to bring the rhythm of the broadcast back on track.
