490: Chapter 477: The Worst Fishing Spot, The Worst Fishing Conditions 490: Chapter 477: The Worst Fishing Spot, The Worst Fishing Conditions Zhao Zheng got out of the car and stretched languidly.
“Tsk tsk, having the kid drive for us today, even if we don’t qualify, it’s still worth the trip to W City!”
Yue Feng grimaced, “Cut the crap, don’t go spreading nonsense when we get back.
No one knows about the kid over here, and if you blow his cover, be careful or I’ll deal with you!”
“Exactly, Brother Zheng, don’t give any topics to talk about, I have a six-month penalty!
Right now, I’m off the grid!
If any scandal gets out, things will get really tricky!” the kid chid in.
Zhao Zheng scratched his head, “Hehe, I was just joking.
Why are you guys so tense?
We’re about to draw straws, there are only ten spots to qualify in our area, make sure to perform well and strive to qualify!”
Yue Feng unloaded the equipnt from the trunk, saying, “Always with the nonsense!
Let’s find a spot to prepare the bait, it’s almost ti for the draw!”
When it ca to bait preparation, Zhao Zheng stopped babbling; the bait Yue Feng prepared always had a better effect.
Based on his understanding of the fish and preliminary insights, Yue Feng readjusted the proportion of the bait ingredients, preparing four portions of bait in advance.
“Here, use these two portions!
If the bites are good, use the left one with the large, well-dispersed bait balls!
If the bites are poor, use the right one with the solid bait balls, and make sure the line setup is spot on!”
Zhao Zheng took the bait opening bowl, “Rest assured, as long as the position is reliable, I won’t let you down!
But why do you have two kinds yourself?
What’s your thinking, tell about it?”
Yue Feng casually kneaded so wet scatter in the bowl, saying, “At this ti, the mixed breed fish are quite tricky to get a good bite, just like you, I’m prepared for both contingencies!
If the bites are good, I’ll use the wet scatter for firing bullets into the fishing ground, but if the small fish aren’t biting, I’ll just use the soft sticky bait to try for a big carp in the pond!”
“Aha, I get it, no wonder you asked if there were big fish, you had this in mind!” Zhao Zheng nodded.
“Attention all contestants, the draw for the second round will start in three minutes!
Please gather at the drawing square and wait!”
Hearing the announcent over the loudspeaker, nurous anglers started to converge towards the drawing box.
The order for the first round was based on the sequence of registration, while the second was based on the overall rankings from the previous round.
Yue Feng, with his leading score of 738 fish, naturally took his place at the very front when it ca ti to draw.
“Yue Feng!”
“Here!” Yue Feng responded, hurriedly moving to the drawing box.
He reached into the box and grabbed a rolled-up number slip.
He unrolled the number slip and saw, B04
Seeing this number slip, Yue Feng felt a bit uneasy.
B04 was the fourth fishing spot near the entrance on the North Shore, moving east from the most western position.
Because it was next to the entrance, almost half of the competitors would pass by here to reach their spots after entering.
It might have a negligible impact when fewer people were around, but in a large competition with one or two hundred participants, the noise could significantly affect the fish.
Without a doubt, this was a poor position, even worse than a regular spot.
“The position is still okay, just focus on the competition!” the official recording the numbers glanced at Yue Feng’s draw, frowned slightly, and offered so sympathetic advice.
Now Yue Feng knew why he had activated the “Skill: Luck” in the last round, which led him to draw number 16.
According to taphysical theories, Yue Feng’s luck was not looking great today.
But that’s how competitions go, the uncertainty of positions was beyond the competitors’ control.
They couldn’t change it, only accept it.
Seeing Yue Feng’s unhappy expression after the drawing, the kid gently tugged on the back of Yue Feng’s clothes.
The kid whispered, “Is the position not ideal?”
Yue Feng pursed his lips, confidently said, “This is nothing!
Skill’s got my back, just watch my performance and that’s it!”
“Don’t stress, if it really doesn’t work out, there’s always next ti!
Just do your best!”
“Ok!”
The kid quietly comforted Yue Feng for a while, and soon the drawing was over and all the athletes began to enter!
Yue Feng’s fishing spot was right at the entrance, which saved him the trouble of walking far, just pulling his trolley case for over ten ters, and he arrived at his spot.
Before even setting down his fishing box, Yue Feng couldn’t wait to use his spot selection skill to scan his area.
As expected, the spot was gray, indicating few or no fish in the area!
But there was also good news, that spot number five on his left was bright, indicating fish!
It gave Yue Feng a glimr of hope.
After setting up his spot, Yue Feng imdiately went ahead with his plan B, using a 4# Golden Sea Evening hook and 0.4# fine line, aiming for a high success rate, to maximize every baiting opportunity.
After he had prepared everything, Yue Feng took a deep breath, and the frantic rush inside him slowly cald down.
“All athletes, please pay attention, upon hearing the starting gun, the competition will begin!
Everyone get ready!!
Start!”
As the starting voice echoed, Yue Feng grabbed a clump of wet, loose bait, pressing it onto lead skin and quickly placing it at the feeding point.
Since there were no fish at the feeding point, he needed to lay so attractive baits there.
Yue Feng quickly placed four egg-sized bait balls straight ahead where the bottom feeding point was prepared.
The next second, close to spot number five, Yue Feng precisely placed another two balls of bait,
After setting the bait on the left, Yue Feng then placed another two balls of bait on the far right.
In less than a minute after starting, Yue Feng had set up baiting spots in three different directions, naturally employing the plum blossom pile fishing thod.
Slow fishing with bait setups, this thod is stronger than just staying at a single spot, a bit of luck with multiple bait placents could decide the outco of the competition.
In the live room, given the less than ideal spot, Yue Feng briefly greeted everyone after going live and then handed his phone to the kid, who was responsible for the entire broadcast.
The kid: “Roar roar, hello everyone, we are live again for this afternoon’s competition!
This morning Brother Feng caught 738 fish and scored a point!
But luck wasn’t as good this afternoon; he drew spot B04, and the competition has just begun, we don’t know how it will go for the fish this afternoon!”
“The video clip of Brother Feng fishing blindfolded this morning went viral!
There definitely won’t be any problem this afternoon, I absolutely trust Brother Feng’s skills!”
“Given the location at the entrance, this spot is indeed a bit poor, fish were scared away by footsteps!
It’s like naturally being at a disadvantage right from the start!”
“Brother Feng definitely has his own thods, everyone, don’t be blindly pessimistic!”
The kid: “Right!
Brother Gongpin said it perfectly, don’t be pessimistic!
Just now, I saw Brother Feng set up at least three bait spots on the left, middle, and right.
Being so close to the edge, perhaps so fish might co over!
The bait used this afternoon worked really well for mixed fishing this morning!”
