Chapter 759: Chapter 746 Fish at Nesting
Yue Feng patted his stomach, “I’m hungry, Uncle Victor, do we have any food on the boat?”
The kid behind him rolled her eyes in irritation, “Hungry now? You wouldn’t even lift your head when I called you to eat earlier. You were so focused on fishing that you didn’t even care about your al, so you deserve to be hungry! Uncle Victor and I have already eaten! There’s so bread and sausage left for you, just make do with that!”
“Hahaha, even Brother Feng can’t escape being scolded while fishing, seeing this really gives a sense of balance!”
“I can testify that the kid did call Brother Feng to eat while we were fishing. He said ‘Okay’ but didn’t react at all! Just kept on fishing!”
“Damn, now that you ntion it, I just realized I didn’t eat my lunch either! I opened the lunchbox and then forgot about it while reeling in the fish, damn it, now it’s completely cold!”
Yue Feng scratched his head embarrassedly and chuckled, “Isn’t it just enjoying the good fishing for a bit longer? I’m not picky, bread is good enough for !”
Seeing this, the kid turned around and took out bread and sausage and a thermos from a cooler behind her.
“Eat up, there’s still hot water in the thermos!”
“Okay!” Yue Feng replied, took the food, and devoured it hungrily.
“Are we going to continue fishing after the al? I feel like it’s ti to head back! Choosing the sturgeon fishing spot takes so ti, and if we go back too late, it will affect the choice of baiting spots!” Uncle Victor reminded everyone at the right mont.
Yue Feng nodded after hearing this, “We definitely have enough bait fish, let’s head back now!”
After greeting everyone, Yue Feng said to the live-streaming room, “Guys, today’s lure fishing mission is accomplished, our goal for fishing is reached. Next, we’ll head back, go to the downstream deep water area to find a few baiting spots, prepare the bait a day in advance, and tomorrow we’ll try fishing during the day to see if we can catch so wild sturgeon here!”
Soon enough, the fishing boat started up and turned toward the downstream direction.
Sitting on the boat, with a full catch behind him, one hand holding bread and sausage, a beautiful confidante sitting beside him, and the natural scenery by the water ahead…
As he watched, Yue Feng gradually drifted into a reverie. If life could continue like this, it wouldn’t be too bad at all.
“Hey, hey! What are you thinking about?” After who knows how long, Yue Feng suddenly noticed a fair, delicate hand waving in front of him like white jade, and he slowly ca back to reality.
“Ah? Are we there already?” Yue Feng regained his senses and swept his gaze around; the river had beco wide, and the terrain and trees around looked familiar.
“Tired and confused? Are you okay? You were zoning out while eating bread, and didn’t respond when I called you!” the kid asked with so concern.
Yue Feng grinned and spoke spontaneously, “I’m fine! Just now, I suddenly realized that with a beauty by my side, fish in the water, living life this way for a lifeti wouldn’t be so bad!”
“Pshaw! Shaless, who’s going to live a lifeti with you, dream on!” The kid didn’t expect Yue Feng to say sothing so sentintal this sudden. Her cheeks flushed, and she actually felt shy!
“Oh man, Brother Feng can get all romantic too! Hype it up, 6666!”
“The kid’s actually blushing, the million-follower fishing strear is flirting live, wow, slick!”
“And he’s flirting with a gorgeous girl with tens of millions of followers, who can you even reason with! I’m stuffed with so much dog food, I can’t take any more!”
“So jealous, so jealous, just here for the fishing, please don’t rub it in our faces!”
Yue Feng stuffed the last bit of bread into his mouth, swallowed it with a big gulp, stood up, and said, “I’m full and satisfied. Now, it’s ti to get to work! Uncle Victor, if we were to choose a spot to lay bait in this area, do you have any good recomndations?”
Victor glanced around the environnt and shook his head, “Last year, the water level was quite high, and the river has changed quite a bit, so I can only give a rough direction. I can no longer pinpoint a reliable spot!
“To the southeast, about thirty ters from where we’re standing, there should be a hollow. You could take a look there, but it’s best to find a way to asure it! Otherwise, should I dive in?”
While he was still pointing at the water surface, by the end, Victor was already starting to take off his jacket, ready to dive into the water.
Yue Feng quickly stopped him with a shake of his head, “No need to go to the trouble of diving. I can simply try a different lure to roughly test the water depth. If there are shallow pits or similar formations on the river bottom around the water surface, it should be suitable for laying bait!”
After saying this, Yue Feng switched his lure to a 15g blade, casually removed the treble hook at the end of the blade, and cast it out with a swing of his arm.
As soon as the blade hit the water, Yue Feng silently counted the ti it took to settle into position until it stopped sinking and the line stopped paying out, considering that the blade had reached the bottom.
Then he reeled in the lure and continued casting towards different areas around him, quickly searching over a large area.
Based on the ti it took for the lure to reach the bottom, Yue Feng chose the deepest area as his marker. The actual spot was a bit off from the direction Victor had ntioned, by roughly twenty ters or so.
“Alright, we’ve found the spot. Let’s start preparing the bait for laying. Do you have any extra utility knives? Let’s work together to turn these fish into chunks for bait!”
Victor nodded, took out another utility knife from his toolbox, and handed it to Yue Feng. Then both n started the sowhat bloody process of killing the fish and dividing them into pieces.
A wide-mouthed fish of more than ten centiters, which could sell for several dozen or even over a hundred yuan per jin in China, was rely cut into chunks for bait in resource-rich Russia.
The two squatted beside the live fish bucket, busying themselves, and in a short while, had turned the fish into chunks slightly larger than mahjong tiles, leaving only the two biggest ones to take back to camp for dinner.
“Alright, brothers, we’ve got our bait ready for the sturgeon! Sturgeons are bottom-dwelling scavengers that naturally feed on fish, shrimps, dead animal bodies, etc. We don’t have ti to process it more thoroughly, but using these chunks for bait shouldn’t be a problem!
“Next, we’ll choose two spots, one deep and one shallow, to lay our bait. Uncle Victor, we’ll have to split up, I’ll get off the boat, you drive, and head towards the southeast, stop when I say so!”
Victor gestured OK, and quickly maneuvered the fishing boat near the spot Yue Feng had selected.
On the shore, once Yue Feng had determined the direction and distance, and had a rough idea of the marker, under his command, Victor tossed the fish at into the surrounding bait spots. Fish that were wiggling just hours before, now turned into chunks, turned the water blood-red as they sank.
Under Yue Feng’s direction, Victor adjusted the boat’s position again and laid another bait spot about a hundred ters away in a shallow area, using up all the chunks of at.
With the preparations completed ahead of schedule, everything was ready except for the east wind!
