A fist-sized lump of mashed bait quickly absorbed two drops of medicinal liquor.

Zhang Yang kneaded the mashed bait to make it more even and then took a sniff.

After this adjustment, the distinct sweet potato flavor was significantly altered, largely overshadowed by the smell of the medicinal liquor. If the dosage was increased slightly, it might even sting the nose.

"What the heck, boss, what are you trying to do with such a strong smell?" Wang Yan sniffed beside him, feeling that Zhang Yang was being a bit reckless.

Zhang Yang handed the adjusted bait to Wang Yan: "Here, change the bait and give it a try! See if there's any difference!"

"Let's give it a try! I doubt it'll work well; it's commonly said that strong aromas lure and light flavors catch, aren't you going against the grain? If the smell is too strong, the fish might not bite!"

Wang Yan grumbled as he casually pinched off a lump of mashed bait, gently rubbing it into a round strip with the tip of his finger, then deftly split the strip into two and hooked both baits.

Once hooked, Wang Yan lifted his hand and cast the fishing setup into the normal fishing spot.

The water here was about three meters deep; the bobber slowly turned, still about twenty centimeters away from the right spot, when two exaggerated strong jerks followed.

"What the heck! Got a bite! Here we go!" Wang Yan raised the rod to hook the fish, feeling the weight transfer to his hand immediately, realizing it was quite different; damn, the underwater force was heavy.

"Damn, it's heavy! Did I catch a little piglet?" Wang Yan complained.

Zhang Yang pursed his lips with a smile: "Double tails! Be gentle controlling the fish, I see your leader line looks like a number 2, hurry and it might break!"

Sure enough, just as Zhang Yang said, Wang Yan slightly adjusting his posture managed to bring the fish to the surface, two hooks with two large carp, seemingly around three jins each.

"It really is double tails! Nice, boss, this bait adjusted with the medicine hits fiercely!" Wang Yan had to admit, the evidence was clear, leaving him nothing to argue about.

Zhang Yang handed him the landing net, letting Wang Yan handle the landing on his own, laughing and saying: "Try double hooking with different bait next time, see which one the fish prefer!"

"Okay!"

Wang Yan understood Zhang Yang's intent, it was simply a comparative experiment, commonly used when testing the flavor preference of bait, and the results are quite clear.

Wang Yan pinched different flavored bait onto each hook and cast again into the spot.

After the cast, he gently adjusted the line, then casually grabbed a handful of scatter bait and rolled it into a triangle lump, tossing it directly into the spot.

Unlike other black pits, at Jinghai Garden Fishing Ground, anglers were allowed to toss bait by hand, so the requirements for using scatter bait were low, often no scatter bait was used, and hand tossing alone suffices.

Maybe due to the double tails from the previous cast, the water was slightly disturbed; this time it sank directly to the bottom and took a few seconds before the bobber showed any movement.

With a slight half-rise then a clean two-mark jerk, the bite was just as clear.

He pulled the rod to hook the fish, swiftly bringing it to the surface once again.

After fetching the fish, he wasn't in a hurry to unhook but observed which hook the fish bit.

The bottom hook, which was bait adjusted with medicine by Zhang Yang.

"Try switching spots again! I can't believe it!" Wang Yan, still unconvinced, reversed the baits on the hooks and cast again.

This time, the fish took the top hook, well, now the results are clear after the comparison.

"Damn, you were right, boss! The difference is obvious! What's going on? The bait used earlier seemed fine too!" Wang Yan was thoroughly convinced.

Zhang Yang said: "Switch back to the original bait and carefully observe the bobber movements; you'll understand everything!"

"Hmm? I'll give it a try!"

Zhang Yang gave a hint, and Wang Yan quickly tried as suggested.

It's true that without comparison, there is no harm; once Zhang Yang specifically pointed out the relationship between bait and bobber movement, Wang Yan watched for a while, finally understanding how Zhang Yang concluded that the previous bait was somewhat lacking.

Even with bait of the same weight, before Zhang Yang adjusted with medicine, the fish bite bobber movements were around one mark, with lots of tentative small movements before the bite.

Usually, after one or two small movements, a jerk around one mark followed.

But with Zhang Yang's medicine adjusted mashed bait? With the same base bait, the only difference being the medicine added, the fishing became much fiercer.

The tentative bobber movements before bites were noticeably absent, whether it was a head-up bite off the bottom or a head-down jerk after reaching the bottom, the movements were exceptionally clean, typically yielding one and a half mark movements, occasionally even a captivating two mark jerk, the difference is significant.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, how do you judge this! Our herbal liquor, can it be used like this?"

Nearby, Gong Wenyuan, who had been patiently learning, asked curiously, realizing from firsthand experience that Zhang Yang was truly amazing.

It was really like breaking a window paper, facing normal anglers, Zhang Yang never hesitated to share fishing skills, he took out cigarettes for everyone, Gong Wenyuan tactfully took out a lighter to help light them, the trio all took a cigarette, then Zhang Yang slowly began to explain.

"When I arrived, I paid attention to the bobber movements when Brother Yan was fishing, according to our bite speed here, there's no shortage of fish! I noticed lots of small movements before the bite, which contrasted significantly with the aggressive biting patterns I observed on the south bank while watching others fish!

So I judged that this bait might be somewhat off!"

"How did you know adding medicinal liquor would improve it? We haven't been here for a year!" Wang Yan continued to probe.

Zhang Yang grinned: "The answer is right in front of us, take a look, what's beneath your feet? Just think a little!"

"Beneath my feet? It's the ground isn't it? What else could it be?" Wang Yan was perplexed, glancing down.

A landing net, fish keeper, leader box, a basin containing wet scatterbait for the spot.

"The spot?" Wang Yan instantly realized.

Zhang Yang nodded: "The main difference between Jinghai Garden and other fishing grounds is Brother Ma's skill in adjusting the water! That's uniquely recognized in the national fish farming community!

Jinghai Garden is practically never drained, yet the water quality remains stable, even with such high fish density, it avoids issues!

The crucial part is that hand bait tossing is allowed here, every day is prime fishing, which spot doesn't have ten or fifteen jins worth of bait tossed in during a session!

All this bait going underwater, can the fish finish it all? Certainly not! The leftovers will slowly ferment, possibly causing foul conditions over time!

Have you noticed something interesting, that while fishing here, once the double hooks hit the bottom, bites don't take long; stabilize the bobber within five seconds and you'll get a bite quickly, no bite and usually, you'll get nothing later! That's the underground mixture layer acting up!

Bait fermenting results in lots of alcohol! So, I took the liberty of adding our herbal liquor to the bait!

The baited liquor dosage has been tested extensively by us before, I'm well-acquainted with it! As long as it's used below the threshold, there won't be any major issues!

You've been hosting the black pit show for years, haven't you figured this out yet? You've still got room for progress in understanding fishing!"

"Damn! I didn't sleep well last night, my head was stuck, didn't figure it out, exposed myself!" Wang Yan scratched his forehead in irritation, admitting defeat on the spot.

Despite having a bad temper, Wang Yan's merit is having thick skin; admitting fault without resistance once wrong.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, today I really learned something with this session! Gained some insights!" Gong Wenyuan was sincerely impressed after hearing his explanation.

"Now the water temperature is still slightly low, wait until it rises a bit more, then you can appropriately increase the dosage of energy acid! Try it then, it'll definitely outperform conventional doses!

By the way, follow our account, a new generation of bait will be released soon, compared to previous products, the new bait is more straightforward and efficient!"

Zhang Yang seized the opportunity to promote the upcoming Yellow Storm bait.

There's nothing more convincing than a practical demonstration at the scene, this kind of cognitive impact is far beyond what Baoding Little Yellow Bait can handle with its cost-effectiveness alone.
