Two boats sailed through the waterways of the Black River; at first, Lin Yang felt a bit hot, but he gradually got used to the temperature, and it didn’t bother him anymore.
If thirsty, he’d drink so mineral water, sit on the boat, chat quietly with his companions, and interact with the live stream audience.
For Lin Yang and his group, the journey along the way was nothing out of the ordinary anymore.
But for the average viewer, the pristine, natural scenery of the Amazon Rainforest’s Black River basin was a rare and beautiful sight.
Consciously controlling the drone to adjust its altitude and angle, Lin Yang attempted to expose more details of the raw environnt in the live stream.
This move earned great support from the live stream audience.
After approximately 45 minutes of travel, the passage ahead beca narrower, and the water level also decreased.
After a brief exchange between Baom and Sun Zheng, Sun Zheng relayed, "Baom says we’re close to the mark, but the water is very shallow in this area, so we need to get off the boat and wade across."
"Wade across? Leave the boat here?"
Hearing this, Lin Yang looked around. This wasn’t a good place to stop the boat, with no place to secure it, and they certainly couldn’t drag the boat ashore.
"No, we get off and walk, while Baom and the guard collaborate to push the boat through the shallow water. The weight is too much with people on board."
"Ok, Yue’er, let’s get ready to disembark," Lin Yang said, nodding and getting off the boat without hesitation.
And so, the six of them pushed the boat through the shallow area.
About 500 ters later, the surface of the water once again beca broad.
The guide Baom said, "We’ve arrived; this area is where the giant bone tongue fish are active."
Lin Yang nodded and greeted the cara, "Alright, after a long trek, we’ve finally arrived at the spot to fish for giant bone tongue fish. Let’s see how lucky we are today!"
After greeting, he took out the lure rod that he had just used to catch the giant Snaggletooth Fish.
Bright spoons were used for fishing Silver Dragon and Snaggletooth Fish in flowing water, but for the legendary giant bone tongue fish, this kind of lure was not quite suitable.
Lin Yang casually removed the bright spoon and picked out a large sinking minnow from his tackle box to replace it.
Compared to the regular bright spoon, a minnow’s swimming posture is more natural and varies more. In his mind, this seed appropriate for use.
However, Baom shook his head after seeing him switch to the minnow.
"What’s wrong? Is it not suitable?" Lin Yang asked.
After Baom communicated with Sun Zheng for a few monts, Sun Zheng quickly translated, "The giant bone tongue fish have a varied diet, and although it’s possible to catch them with a lure, the success rate is very low.
These fish are already scarce in the wild, and those who have recently caught them successfully have used chunks of at, so Baom advises us to hook at chunks or, as a compromise, hang at chunks on the treble hooks of the lure."
"at chunks on hooks? Ordinary fish at should work, right?" Lin Yang continued to inquire.
Baom nodded.
Lin Yang also nodded and said to the cara, "Then we’ll listen to the Fishing Guide, switching to fish at now. So new viewers might find it uncomfortable seeing use fish at since it’s quite different from the popular lure fishing thod.
I need to state that although I use various fishing thods, I don’t consider myself a pure lure fishing enthusiast at heart. Therefore, in terms of fishing techniques, everything is based on not violating local laws or fishing ethics.
To increase the chance of catching fish, today I will show everyone a combination of traditional and lure fishing by adding fish at to the lure."
Having said that, Lin Yang took up a knife and started preparing the fish at.
The Silver Dragon Fish they had caught earlier had already turned belly-up, and he decisively cut a slice of clean at with the knife, which, after a quick trim, he hung on the treble hooks at the rear end of the lure.
"I find the host’s fishing thod acceptable. When it cos to fishing, it doesn’t matter what bait you use, as long as it’s not illegal or against the rules, and you can catch fish, that’s what’s important."
"Right, whether it’s lure or at, I think both are fine, except for the loach gang, I support all others."
"Speaking of the loach gang, they really have no bottom line. Using loaches as bait is one thing, but even using them to chum the water... A local reservoir in our southern area was wiped clean of fish in less than a half-month."
While the live stream audience continued to discuss the topic Lin Yang had just thrown out, he had already finished his preparations.
Lin Yang made a slight adjustnt to the drag and gave the lure and leader line a final check, choosing the area in front to cast his rod with force.
The combination of fish at and the sinking minnow increased the weight significantly, further reducing the difficulty of casting.
On his first cast, just trying out his hand, Lin Yang managed a distance of over 35 ters, the lure landing far away, splashing a small spray of water.
With at added, the sinking minnow’s posture in the water was noticeably affected, but this was within Lin Yang’s expectations.
He didn’t fret over it and simply continued to reel in steadily, occasionally slowing down to tease the fish.
If there was an underwater cara, one could see that the sinking minnow still maintained a relatively reasonable position in the water.
Only because of the at chunk on the treble hooks at the back, it appeared to swim with a slightly raised head.
At first, this posture seed a bit awkward, but after Lin Yang adjusted the reeling speed to regain a balance of speed and posture, it beca more steady.
After three casts, he had roughly figured out the best reeling speed, interspersing the technique with jerks, short bursts of speed, and sudden decelerations to vary the lure’s posture as much as possible.
