Fishing Livestream-Chapter 149: Unreservedly
After opening the door, a group of people carrying their fishing boxes quickly found their spots. π§πβ―β―π€β―π£πβ΄πππ.ππ°π
Yue Fengβs fishing position was the easiest to find, the large 30th spot on the edge, located at the southwest corner of the pit. From the entrance, he just had to walk all the way to the end, to the south bank position.
Boss He had a wealth of experience in opening the pit, and time was well-scheduled for everyone. Even those who arrived late had half an hour to prepare after entering before the fishing officially began, so everyone was quite relaxed, leisurely beginning to check their floats, organize their equipment, and make final preparations before fishing.
There, while Yue Feng was adjusting his float target with his rod, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye of a colorful figure dragging his gear and leisurely walking towards him.
Seeing Mr. Amazing Li walk this way, Yue Feng felt a pang in his heart. Could it really be such a coincidence?
Indeed, it was just that. The majority of the anglers in the other positions had settled down, and only the 29th spot next to Yue Feng was still empty.
In a moment of distraction, Li Cungen arrived at the adjacent fishing position, set down his fishing box, and busily got to work.
From a distance, this guy seemed somewhat pretentious, but up close, his actions and movements looked somewhat sloppy.
Li Cungen casually held the fishing rod, net, and rod holder in his hands. After arriving at his fishing position, he casually threw his rod onto the ground and pulled out gear from his rod case to prepare his bait, not caring whether there were any sand on the ground.
Yue Feng had already finished adjusting his float and preparing his bait. After completing all the preparations, he collected some water in the smallest bait opening bowl by bending over the pitβs edge, intending to use it to wash his hands during fishing.
After scooping the water, Yue Feng tried the waterβs temperature, it was a bit cold!
Cold water wasnβt generally good for fishing, but for Yue Feng, it was an advantageous condition.
With a lower water temperature, the fish wouldnβt be too active, and there was a very good chance they would congregate near the edges. Spring was the season when fish hugged the edges most tightly.
With this thought in mind, Yue Feng deliberately stood up to activate his Intermediate Fishing Position Selection skill and took a quick glance at the surrounding fishing spots.
Just as he had theorized, the spots near the water werenβt appearing gray, while those closer to the middle seemed less populated, showing the gray color of few or no fish.
When the weather is hot, the fish are more active, making the middle spots better, but when itβs cold, itβs the reverse, the corners are clearly much better than the middle positions.
Yue Feng couldnβt help but wonder about the skill level of this guy next to him, who had quite sophisticated gearβit would be unfortunate if he ended up taking Yue Fengβs fish! A tinge of worry flickered in Yue Fengβs heart.
The worry didnβt last long. After patiently observing Li Cungenβs bait opening performance for a while, Yue Feng started to feel reassured; this guyβs fishing skill was nothing special.
An expert angler reveals himself with a single move. Normally, when fishing for live carp, everyone basically uses yellow powder bait. Thereβs common knowledge about preparing this kind of bait: the baitβs condition requires a precise water ratio.
If yellow powder is mixed with too much water, it becomes too sticky and wonβt atomize; too little water and itβs too dry, making it difficult to apply the bait. During preparation, you constantly have to knead the bait evenly so it disperses and atomizes effectively when used.
Yet Li Cungen didnβt even use a measuring cup for preparing his bait. He simply took out a large bait opening bowl from his rod case and poured in at least three pounds of dry yellow powder.
Using three pounds of yellow powder wasnβt outrageous for a small competition spot like this, but Yue Feng frowned at Li Cungenβs next move.
He opened his fishing box, took out a bunch of bottles and jars, and without any rhyme or reason, slammed at least seven or eight different kinds of potion, each with a unique scent, into the rim of the bowl next to the yellow powder.
Using potions in fishing can indeed be effective to some degree, but the effectiveness of such unmethodical addiction was questionable, and the mixed scents smelled rather odd.
After that, he proceeded to add water to the mix with a water basin. It was precisely here that Yue Feng noticed the significant shortfall in his bait opening proficiency.
You donβt need a measuring cup to bait with Loose Powder; many Fishing Masters can do it with ease, and so can Yue Feng if heβs not in a hurry. But with Li Cungenβs method, he was utterly without a clue.
Yue Feng estimated by eye that his opponent had clearly added too much water and was stirring heedlessly. As expected, with too much water, the bait stuck to his hands, and the water ratio had reached at least 1:0.5.
Adding too much water while Bait Opening could be salvaged by slowly adding dry powder bait to adjust the water ratio back. But Li Cungen, lacking any sense of measure, poured in the dry powder from the bag, and just like that, he added too much!
Now it was a real dilemma; with too much water he added Yellow powder, and with too much Yellow powder, there wasnβt enough water! After stirring back and forth for a while, the water ratio was still off, and forming the bait with his hands required a lot of effort. At best, the water ratio he could manage was 0.3.
After two unsuccessful attempts to fix it, Li Cungen finally learned his lesson on the third try. He scooped water into the bowl a few times with his hands, patiently stirring for a while, and finally, the bait was somewhat usable.
Itβs true the bait became usable, but he had turned half a bowl into a full bowl, and the different medicines diluted by water mixed together, emitting an indescribable strange odor.
With such a level of Bait Opening, at most it would score fifty points; it wouldnβt even pass.
After waiting a bit longer, Yue Feng glanced at the time. There were ten minutes left before fishing time started, and it was time for him to start the live broadcast.
So, Yue Feng took out a drone from his Rod Holder box, activated it, and connected to the live broadcast.
In the blink of an eye, the drone hovered about a meter behind Yue Feng.
Having sent out a broadcast notice the previous night, as soon as the broadcast started, at least several hundred viewers flooded into the live room.
Front row!
Iβm here too, Yue Feng finally started the broadcast!
Black Pit Carp? Carps are likely to stay close to the edge this season, making them tough to catch!
The person above seems to be missing something. Doesnβt it look like Yue Feng is currently at the edge fishing position?
Edge +1, Yue Feng is standing today, these fishing spot arrangements are crystal clear!
Yue Feng glanced at the public chat on his phone screen and whispered, "Hello, everyone, this is Yue Feng Outdoor Fishing live. Today we are at Dongxia Village Black Pit to do a proper fishing broadcast! Same old rules, the broadcast has just started, guys, please help share the stream. Weβll start fishing in less than ten minutes!"
Before the viewers in the live room could react, Li Cungen sitting beside him grew restless.
"Damn, bro, are you live broadcasting using a drone? What brand is this? Itβs so quiet!"
As Li Cungen spoke, he stood up and tried to touch the drone floating in front of him.
"Watch your hands!" Yue Feng had never seen someone this reckless, reaching out to grab a drone with four propellers.
These werenβt the plastic propellers found on the cheap toys sold in squares. The drone was powerful, and if his fingers made contact with the rotor blades, there would surely be blood.
"Itβs fine, Iβm just looking!!" Li Cungen said nonchalantly, continuing to reach out to grab it.
The live broadcasting device had automatic sensing protection, and upon detecting the hand approaching, it automatically ascended about a meter.
Seeing Li Cungen act so carelessly, Yue Feng felt a bit displeased.
