698: Chapter 685: Sunken Ship 698: Chapter 685: Sunken Ship Having made up his mind, Yue Feng cast several tis in succession.
The water below was clear, the lure continuously hugging the bottom as it searched.
He didn’t catch any Big Mouth Bass but annoyingly hooked a Bass again.
Faced with this type of non-target fish that can be found everywhere, Yue Feng was still able to control his mindset, patiently pulling it to the side of the boat to unhook and release it to continue searching the surrounding area.
However, his luck wasn’t as good this ti, catching two more Bass without a single Big Mouth Bass taking the bait.
“Captain David, let’s change spots.
I feel this marker isn’t going to pan out,” Yue Feng said politely.
“As you wish!”
Seeing Yue Feng’s boat start up again and move forward, the two judges exchanged glances.
Johnson, “What do you think about the casting and angling just now?
Any problems?”
Brown hesitated for a mont, then said solemnly, “Bass are fairly common, I often catch them here in this lake too!
But since we didn’t catch any Big Mouth Bass this ti, there’s too little information for to make an objective assessnt!”
Johnson, “Then let’s keep watching for a while longer!”
“OK!” After reaching consensus, the two judges started their boat and followed again.
“Big brother Yue, that judges’ boat is following us again!”
“These Aricans are really annoying, acting like we’re cheating or sothing!”
“Those Aricans inherently hate losing.
Not to ntion, just take a look at the news during this period; it’s a complete shift in perspective!”
“Big brother Yue, why did you give up this marker so quickly after only about ten casts?
Can you share with us?
I felt that the spot where the depth changes looked pretty good!”
Yue Feng, “Brothers, let’s not talk about national affairs or touch on politics!
Let us focus on fishing!
I saw so asking why I stopped casting and angling here, let share my thoughts!
It might look mysterious, but the decision was quite simple!
When we search markers, we also have certain priorities!
For instance, at the beginning, various underwater logs, or rocks, debris!
We try as much as possible to cover the surrounding area because the target fish might just be hiding in a dark spot under the water, waiting for the lure to pass by to launch a fatal strike!
With the structure where the depth changes that we just fished, the first two casts both hit the bottom, and the bottom was very clean, I guess it was probably sandy or muddy!
Under such conditions, not worrying about snagging, naturally it becos much easier to search!
I practically searched this area thoroughly in the most brute way, with the movent of the lure covering the whole area,
Still not catching any target fish under such conditions suggests a very high likelihood that there are no target fish here, or that the target fish are completely inactive!
The water area is vast.
When we go out to fish and look for structures and markers, it’s fine, but we shouldn’t be overly superstitious about the markers.
If they’re not there, they’re not there; spending more ti would be difficult to reap any rewards!
Sotis it’s wiser to cut losses and change markers in a tily manner!”
“Damn, it sounds so simple when you explain it, but I couldn’t think of that.
In terms of understanding fishing, Big brother Yue, you go deeper!”
“Brain: I’m wasted!
Hand: No, you’re not!”
As the boat continued to sail, fishern from other areas began to vaguely appear on the lake.
More than an hour had passed since the start of fishing.
Based on the speed of the fishing boat, they had entered an area where they overlapped with other anglers,
From this mont on, the competition instinctively beca more intense.
At another location, a two-person boat from afar spotted Yue Feng’s Black Pearl.
The person steering the boat glanced over, pulled out his cell phone, and sent a mass text.
“Target sighted near buoy number 18.
This is Flying Wolf, awaiting further instructions!”
Soon, many were responding to the ssage, indicating they were on their way.
But Yue Feng was completely unaware of what was going to unfold.
“Alright, David, stop the boat here; I want to try this spot again!”
Yue Feng chose a new area and, once the boat was steady, cast his lure again.
The spot looked a bit odd—much smaller in range than the others, surrounded by a barren area, giving off a faint blue glow covering only about five square ters.
Skill allowed one to predict fish movent, but it couldn’t show the underwater topography.
To understand the situation, the only option was to test it with the lure.
When cast, the lure reached a depth of about three ters, which was the deepest point Yue Feng had found so far, about half a ter deeper than elsewhere.
Yue Feng tried casting several tis; on the second cast, he had the misfortune of snagging the bottom.
As he reeled in and lifted the lure, he found the hook straightened and caught with several strands of algae.
Algae usually grow near the shore or on underwater rocks; the surrounding area was flat with no snags, except for this small area, which was both snagged and had algae growing.
This quickly led Yue Feng to a conclusion: it was nearly impossible for rocks to jut out abruptly.
More likely, there was a small sunken object underwater, like a shipwreck, which could explain the anomalies he had noticed.
Having made this assessnt, Yue Feng quickly made specific adjustnts, directing the lure’s drop point as close to the edge of the illuminated blue area as possible—the likely surrounding area of a sunken ship to search for possible fish!
And indeed, after adjusting the point where the lure fell, the second cast landed a fish.
During the close-to-the-bottom stopping maneuver, there was a fierce bite, bending the fishing rod into a steep arc.
“Got it, a big one!” Yue Feng set the hook and imdiately made slight adjustnts to ease the tension, then tilted the rod to one side to keep the fish from heading into obstacles.
Once the fish was drawn out of the danger zone, he slightly eased the tension again, allowing the fish room to flee and dash.
A fish that usually could be controlled in two or three rounds took seven or eight exhausting attempts this ti.
The newly replaced treble hooks were not a concern for sharpness; his only worry was that the fish might be too large and straighten the hooks.
Luckily, he encountered no such misfortune.
Bit by bit, he reeled in the line, pulling the underwater behemoth closer to the boat.
The fish surfaced; it was a Big Mouth Bass.
To be precise, it was an exceptionally large Big Mouth Bass.
Previously caught Big Mouth Bass had weighed just over a pound, at most two pounds, but this one was significantly thicker and larger overall.
Even Captain David couldn’t help but exclaim after a glance, “Big one, big one!”
Yue Feng carefully bent the rod and, turning with his left hand, picked up the landing net, “Guys, this Big Mouth Bass is clearly much bigger.
Our hooks are small, so be extra careful when netting!”
No sooner had he finished speaking when the fish at the boat’s edge fiercely thrashed its tail and, by pure chance, shook off the hook!
In that instant, Yue Feng reflexively plunged the landing net into the water, managing a last-minute save!
