Fishing Livestream

"Not recommended? Feng bro, you don't think highly of floating fishing, do you?"

"I'm a bit curious. We won the morning match with this method, so why not favor it in the afternoon? Is it because the fish conditions are slower in the afternoon? No chance for floating fishing?"

"+1 to that upstairs, I'm curious too! Tell us, will you!"

"Feng bro's lecture time begins! Bring it on!"

Yue Feng didn't hesitate, explaining, "Not favoring it doesn't mean it's wrong! It could just be a different understanding of fishing leading to different strategy choices.

In my personal understanding of fishing, competitions, especially team-based ones, are somewhat akin to ancient warfare!

What's the key in warfare? It's all about timing, terrain, and people. Fishing is quite similar. One must assess all the factors, and then form a comprehensive strategy to maximize the chances of winning.

Take today's competition for instance. Fish Hunter was ranked fifth in the last round, actually indicating an overall strong capability, at least stronger than other eliminated teams!

A responsible team leader should have clear judgment and rational thinking! However, it's apparent that the first angler didn't show any tactical planning!

If it were me, or another slightly more cautious team leader, I think the primary task should be assessing the fish conditions first!

A one and a half hour match isn't going to miss those few minutes at the start!

The most promising strategy should be like our approach in the first match this morning, gradually understanding fish condition changes during fishing, and then seizing the opportunity for floating fishing, greatly increasing the chances of success!"

"I didn't have any thoughts before Feng bro said anything, but thinking about it, it makes complete sense!"

"I guess their captain was probably so provoked by our team that he panicked and decided to go all in!"

"Haha, I agree! To be knocked out early from a safe fifth place, who could you even argue with!"

"Now it's all down to luck; if floating fishing works, they'll make it. If not, they'll be eliminated, plain and simple!"

As the public frequency was discussing this, Zhou Qigang's right-hand angler was the first to catch a fish!

Zhou Qigang seemed completely unaware of this, maintaining his rapid casting rhythm. In just under a minute, a small portion of bait from his food box had already gone down.

A little while later, the angler on the opposite side also caught a fish! Among the six anglers on the field, except for Fish Hunter, all the other five teams had started catching fish. The bites seemed decent.

Zhou Qigang continued his head-down rigorous floating casting!

Fifteen minutes later, Zhou Qigang had already emptied two boxes of loose powder into the water, yet the fish guard was still empty.

Yue Feng commented, "We've reached exactly halfway through the first section of the match, if he switches now to conventional fishing methods to pursue fish catches, there still might be a chance! Otherwise, he's on a one-way street to failure!"

By the 20th minute, Zhou Qigang had used up a full medium-sized bait opening bowl of loose powder, without even trying ragworm bottom fishing to test the water.

Five more minutes passed, and the anticipated floating fish swarm still didn't appear. Zhou Qigang continued his previous actions, launching the second bowl of loose powder.

For the entire section of the match, until the last minute when it was almost time for a changeover, only then did Zhou Qigang place bait on the double hooks and drop his first genuine test cast.

The float turned over normally, paused slightly, then started to descend steadily, only descending a few markings, while the double-hook rig was still at a very high mid-water level, 'plop-plop', two consecutive bites.

He raised the rod to set the hook! Success! And it's a double catch!

Seeing this, Yue Feng was slightly surprised, could it be that floating fishing could succeed?

Yue Feng said, "Did everyone notice? The position where the fish took the bait during this ragworm test cast was already very high in the water! Roughly estimated, it's at least 90 centimeters from the bottom! Maybe floating fishing could actually work!"

"To maintain such a fast frequency floating cast for an entire section isn't something just anyone can do! Regardless of the effect, the tactical execution is spot-on!"

"The second person up is the captain of Fish Hunter, Yu Wensheng. These guys are going all in! It seems only these two in their team have competitive match experience, the rest are amateur level! They're really pulling together for one big effort!"

Soon, captain Yu Wensheng replaced Zhou Qigang on the stage. After taking the rod, he continued with floating casting!

Strangely, during the entire first section, despite the long casting duration, there was not even a single disturbance on the water surface. There weren't even fish stars or bubbles seen. But after Yu Wensheng went on stage and only did around five minutes of frequent casting, the water surface began to show subtle movements.

At first, one or two fish occasionally emerged from below and then dove back underwater. After a few more casts, the hazy black shadows of the fish school gradually became clear, especially striking when viewed from the overhead drone perspective.

"Whoa! The fish school has been drawn to the surface! Awesome!"

"Daring move, Fish Hunter won the gamble this time!"

"Haha, Feng bro, you'll have another chance to face them in the upcoming matches!"

"Isn't this a bit of a slap in the face, Feng bro? They really succeeded with floating casting!"

Yue Feng controlled the drone to give a close-up of the water surface around the float, marveling, "Impressive! Fish Hunter Club might not be a professional team from a manufacturer, but their team members' execution is impeccable.

I've checked the timing; it took 36 minutes to lure the fish to surface level! For the next few sections, as long as there are no major mistakes, making it to the next round is almost certain!"

The rest of the match had no suspense whatsoever. Yu Wensheng's fundamentals were solid, performing various double catches through surface level floating fishing, quickly catching up on the deficit from the first section.

As the second section was about to end, Wang Xiaomin and Taozi leisurely walked back.

Taozi had a lollipop in her mouth, while Wang Xiaoli carried a bunch of snacks and sunflower seeds, the two of them talking quietly, looking quite delighted with each other.

"Oh, Xiaomin finally came back. We thought you got lost! If you'd come back any later, the match would be over!" Niu Ben teased him purposefully, winking at other teammates.

"Uh, there were many people shopping, and we queued to pay! I brought back sunflower seeds and other snacks! There are even 23 bucks spare change!" Wang Xiaomin, possibly dealing with a girl for the first time, was somewhat reserved from Manager Niu's jokes.

Yue Feng pointed to the stage, "Come on, come on, everyone's waiting. Let me tell you, you missed the excitement by being late, look at the 11th fishing spot there, guess what! They're trying floating fishing just like you! And succeeded!"

"Damn, they dared to try floating fishing in this afternoon's situation? That's insane!" Wang Xiaomin immediately regained composure upon hearing the competition topic, his outspoken comment nearly spilling out.
