Fishing Livestream

At this moment, Hu Changsheng next to him had already raised his pole and caught the first fish.

Seeing his patient and meticulous fish-playing technique, Wang Xiaomin knew that his strategic response direction was correct.

Sure enough, after switching to the thinnest line setup and casting the pole again, the bite signal was noticeably clearer. He chose the strongest and swiftest downward movement to strike, and he hit it!

Patiently playing the fish for two rounds until it surfaced, he carefully netted it in, finally securing the first fish.

Picking up the fish for a glance, Wang Xiaomin frowned inwardly.

The fish had a slender body, clearly lacking sufficient food for a long time. Its spine was as sharp as a blade, and upon being brought ashore, it didn't struggle but lay still, waiting to be unhooked and released back into the water.

Wang Xiaomin examined the fish's mouth closely; its lips were unusually thick, and its breathing in the air seemed very agile. Around the area's 12 o'clock spot, he vaguely saw scars from previous hook catches.

No wonder Hu Changsheng warned it was a slippery fish. Such an experienced slippery fish could be described as battle-hardened. If the line was slightly thicker, the sensitive touch of its lips would sense it, and the bait would be spit out at lightning speed. It's a wonder to hit the right spot!

Putting the fish into the fish guard, Wang Xiaomin continued with his next cast.

Having found the knack, the frequency of catching fish quickly increased. However, the line setup was too thin, demanding high skill in striking and playing the fish. Even with the proficiency of Wang Xiaomin and Hu Changsheng, hooks were still occasionally cut and fish escaped.

After casting another one, Wang Xiaomin got anxious!

This fishing was really frustrating; was there any other way?

Feeling uneasy, Wang Xiaomin soon started contemplating silently. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration, remembering his experience of catching picky fish in another club's old slippery fish pond.

With this thought, Wang Xiaomin abruptly stood up from his fishing spot, opened his fishing box to retrieve the base material, and started preparing the bait anew.

Hu Changsheng glanced over and found that he was making Loose Powder! Moreover, it was the normal water ratio kind, a full half basin.

The large broken coarse particles were sifted in the net head, discarding all the powder without adding any. He just mixed the broken material evenly with water, then added medicinal wine and Fruit Acid, relying on feeling to add water, quickly making an unusually state-mixed Loose Powder in front of Hu Changsheng.

After absorbing water, the Loose Powder primarily fell off, with a small proportion of smoke-like substance. Compared to the usual Yellow Powdered Bomb, it was much denser; compared to atomization, it was a completely different dispersal state.

"What are you doing, bombing? I'm telling you, it won't work!" Hu Changsheng curled his lips with a complicated expression.

"Whether it works or not, you'll only know after trying! This 0.08 line setup is a killer. Cut a few more, and my stock will run out! Let's see!"

Hearing this, Hu Changsheng felt faint, almost plunging into the water.

0.08# leader line? I'm only using 0.15, isn't this just exaggerating!

Little did he know, even more exaggeration was yet to come.

After preparing the Loose Powder, Wang Xiaomin started bombing as if it cost nothing.

His fixed-point casting technique was already extremely skillful, with each Loose Powder's landing spot almost entirely overlapping, any slight dispersion not exceeding three to five centimeters.

The result of such concentrated bombing was that very soon, a particle-like scattered area formed across the surface and bottom of the water in the nest.

This time, a strange scene appeared.

Ordinarily scared off by smoke, old slippery fish wouldn't enter the nest. At this moment, faced with this coarse-style Loose Powder mainly comprising broken raw pond particles, they weren't too affected, boldly coming up to take a few bites. With just a few casts, the fish school unexpectedly gathered more and more.

Seeing the dense fish bubble in the nest, with increasing float line-bumping actions, Wang Xiaomin adjusted his fishing method again.

He directly took out a new main line and rig, inserting a commonly used float, simply locating the water depth position. Then, with a snap of scissors, he cut the previous hook, tying on a large fish hook.

0.8# leader line, 10# carp corner hook.

A 10# carp corner hook is roughly equivalent to a two or three size new Kanto hook type, the only difference being the moderate thickness of the hook strip, slightly thinner than the new Kanto.

In this reheated fish situation, such a large hook was completely irrelevant, nothing seemed to match!

But Wang Xiaomin just used it this way, leisurely pinching on a soft sticky bait, topped with a triangular bomb on the hook.

Go for it!

The float flipped, and soon there was action.

Wang Xiaomin seized the first downward movement, lifting the pole to strike.

Wham! Hit!

With expectations confirmed, Wang Xiaomin felt relief.

The 0.8 leader line made fishing this kind of fish much easier. You could say it could be handled however he wanted, once surfaced, the rod lifted it up, gently flying it into the net.

Unhook and into the guard, perfect!

Witnessing this, Hu Changsheng next door felt his years of fishing knowledge were utterly overturned.

Even super old slippery fish recognized Loose Powder? And hitting the right spot with such a large hook and line setup, if not seen with his own eyes, Old Hu wouldn't have believed it!

Yet what broke Old Hu more was still to come.

Having sorted out the fish scenario, Wang Xiaomin soon opened up the chain-link mode, carp under a pound came one by one, tracing an arc across the water into the net, then safely into the guard.

This number two pit had always been a nightmare for team members' mixed species pole practice. Regular mixed training wasn't even conducted in this pit but rather in the adjacent number three pit. The pond's fish were all transported from Tianyuan headquarters' old practice pole pond, solely to train team members' ability to control fine line setups.

A thick line would shoot blanks, bait flavor mismatch would shoot blanks, poor timing when biting would shoot blanks; catching these fish was extremely hard.

But in Wang Xiaomin's hands, these fish became pure surface fish catching; the efficiency was surprisingly high, with no signs of slippery fish behavior at all.

"How…how did you do it?" After watching for a while, Hu Changsheng simply stopped fishing altogether, with a face as if seeing a ghost.

Wang Xiaomin grinned: "Just normally fishing, right? The whole bait preparation and fishing process was right under your nose!"

"These are old slippery fish transported from headquarters! Normally when Loose Powder hits, the fish all run away cleanly! But you're making the nest more crowded with more fishing, it'll boil over soon!"

Wang Xiaomin shrugged: "It's not as mystical as you say! Fish are afraid of smoky bait, but not of scattered particles, if more fish gather, they naturally compete for food.

Once competition starts, the line setup doesn't matter, a bigger hook naturally hits! Isn't this common logic? When I first learned fishing, that's what my coach taught me! You wouldn't happen to not know even this?"

"Big broken base Loose Powder, fish aren't afraid?" Hu Changsheng understood everything else, but this point, he genuinely didn't know.

Wang Xiaomin nodded: "Don't believe me? Try it yourself! The fish in this pond fear atomized smoky bait, but not scattered particles!"

Hearing this, Hu Changsheng eagerly started to try it himself.
