Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King
Chapter 690 - 397: Yellow Storm Bait Hits the Market
It's estimated that Meng Fan and Han Mocheng would never have guessed that the original oral competition review process today would change.
Zhang Yang actually came up with a rigorous written document.
The few guys knew Zhang Yang's attitude towards business, so they didn't dare to mess around, obediently reading through the analysis of the fishing situation.
These guys had never been this serious even when they were in school; they read every word of Zhang Yang's summary carefully, striving to match their thoughts with the written description, constructing a clear outline in their minds. ππΏπ²ππ°πππ§πππ²π₯.πππ
Honestly speaking, the written summary had a far better effect than the daily oral review. Even Xiaobao, who had the lowest fishing skills, developed a clear concept of changes in the fishing situation in his mind.
The ten minutes passed quickly. Zhang Yang glanced at his watch and said, "Ten minutes are up, how did you all do?"
"Finished!"
"Understood!"
"I also understood!"
The four of them nodded repeatedly, expressing their understanding.
Zhang Yang nodded: "Since you've all understood and have a preliminary concept, I'll go over the analysis of the fishing situation from the beginning, listen carefully!
On the first day of the competition, first of all, the event for the first day was a number of fish caught competition..."
Zhang Yang opened up the conversation in front of the four of them, explaining from the very beginning how to choose the size of the fishing rod, what bait and technique to use, how to consider adaptability, and so on, analyzing everything for his team members.
What does it mean to hold nothing back? At that moment, Zhang Yang was lecturing his team without holding anything back, even sharing how he weighed decisions in his mind at the time.
With the written material as a foundation, coupled with Zhang Yang's in-person analysis and teaching, if they couldn't grasp the changes in the fishing situation and responses over the two days of the competition, then these guys shouldn't even bother learning to fish.
After lecturing for over half an hour, Zhang Yang finally finished analyzing the entire span of the competition's time details for the team members.
After finishing, Zhang Yang sipped on a bottle of mineral water to moisten his throat, glanced at the few of them, and asked Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, now do you think that practicing your basic skills in casting during normal times has any meaning in actual combat?"
Xiaobao nodded repeatedly, "It's useful! Basic skills are useful! To make a solid groundbait spot and catch fish well, with a 7.2-meter rod, the casting point must be precise! That way the time to attract fish will be fast enough!
The boss is right, we still cannot slack off on basic skills training! We must practice more!"
"Okay, then my words weren't wasted! Do any of you have other questions? If you have any questions, don't be shy, hurry and ask, don't hold back!"
After hearing Zhang Yang's words, Han Mocheng raised his head and asked, "Boss, how did you think of fishing for silver carp and bighead carp in the competition? It's just the beginning of May, the water temperature is so low, this kind of fish is probably not easy to catch! Isn't that a gamble?"
Upon hearing Han Mocheng mention gambling, Zhang Yang nodded, paused for two seconds, and then said solemnly, "Fishing, like other things, cannot have a 100% guaranteed success solution. If such a solution existed, it would have no competitive edge!
When adjustments need to be made and you can't make up your mind, what do you do? You can only take some risks to choose the optimal solution at the time, and take a gamble!
In the actual situation during my competition, next door's Liu Wenjun was maliciously using lead to scare away the grass carp to mess with me. Continuing to fish for grass carp would obviously fall into his trap! Surely, it wouldn't yield good results.
At that moment, I faced a choice.
Continue fishing for grass carp? It's hard to get results, mostly a waste of effort.
Switch to another fish species? What can I switch to?
Given the overall fishing situation at the time, it was hot at midday, and carp and crucian carp were not biting at the bottom. There weren't many fish species I could choose from.
Combining with the existing fish species and quantities in the reservoir, black carp? Silver carp and bighead carp? Considering everything, the silver carp and bighead carp seemed relatively more reliable!
Since there wasn't a better choice, we had to choose the lesser evil and try silver carp and bighead carp!
Additionally, through test fishing during midday, I caught a few more weighty grass carps than others, which gave me the confidence to take risks and adapt!
Decisions in competitive fishing are products of multi-dimensional compromise. Catching more fish than others gives us more initiative to adapt since even if we make a wrong decision, we can afford it!
The better we perform in the front, the more solid our foundation of catch, and the more strategies we can choose later on!"
"Wow, the way you put it, it seems fishing for silver carp and bighead carp was indeed the optimal solution!" Han Mocheng scratched his head, as if suddenly enlightened.
Zhang Yang smiled: "Actually, the habits of fish like silver carp and bighead carp differ slightly from what we usually know!
Everyone thinks silver carp and bighead carp don't eat bait when the water temperature is low, but that's a misconception! In some waters in the south, they can still be caught at single-digit temperatures, which means they do feed in cold temperatures!
The real problem is that the fish aren't very active at low temperatures, they may not like swimming too far, and if they can't be lured, naturally they can't be caught!"
"I reckon, after going back, Liu Wenjun will have nightmares in his sleep! That bastard dared to play tricks with the boss, really thought he was invincible after winning a fishing title!" Meng Fan chimed in.
Zhang Yang shrugged: "Different positions, you can understand some small maneuvers! If they're not one of us, then it's everyone's own skill!"
