Fishing Livestream-Chapter 66 Overly Excited

66 -66: Overly Excited
The fish indeed seemed a bit off.
As Yue Feng kept casting his rod with the Double-hooked Scattering Bombs into the water, the fish became increasingly excited, and the frequency of them surfacing and then plunging back down also grew higher.
The effect of this Loose Powder was simply too domineering; the fish were getting too excited!
No, I can’t keep increasing the frequency, I need to figure out how to suppress the fish a bit.
With that thought, Yue Feng placed the Loose Bait he had prepared back into the Bait Opening Bowl and gently stirred the water to adjust the water ratio of the Loose Powder.
It was clear from the behavior of the fish that the Loose Powder was effective, and its effect was incredibly exaggerated.
The high frequency of bait opening at the start had caused too much atomization in the fish nest, and the fish got overstimulated.
If I want to fish normally and catch them, I’ll need to control the state of the fish a bit.
Things will get much better once I sort out the feeding rhythm.
After briefly switching to a Loose Powder with a higher water ratio and extracting for a while, I managed to finally push the fish near the surface back down.
With no crucian carp surfacing anymore, Yue Feng once again cast two bunches of red worm lures into the nest.
The float went all the way to the fishing target, but still no biting action!
From the subtle movements of the float, Yue Feng discerned that there were indeed quite a few fish in the nest, but their behavior was still off.
During the descent of the float, one could occasionally observe noticeable line-rubbing actions, indicating the fish were still extremely agitated, madly darting up and down around the underwater nest.
Seeing this, Yue Feng scratched his head, wondering if the effect of the Loose Powder was too good, the concentration of the enticing substance too high, and as a result, the overly excited fish were leaping about instead of eating the bait!
After a brief consideration, that possibility did seem quite substantial.
Yue Feng immediately started to readjust the Loose Powder.
This time, however, the focus of adjustment was not the water ratio, but the substance itself.
Mixing some regular bait into the Loose Powder he was using should solve the problem.
While Yue Feng was busy adjusting his bait, Wang Jian had already started catching fish.
Taking up a position in the adjacent private room, Wang Jian effectively had the territory of two fishing spots to himself, giving him a not insignificant advantage in the competitive Black Pit fishing scene.
After preparing his fish nest for a while, Wang Jian hit the first bottom-feeding bite; then, the fish feeding rhythm straightened out, and bites became steadier, leading to a connected series of catches.
“What’s going on with Yue Feng?
Why has he fizzled out?
Is there a problem with his bait?
Wasn’t he quite adept last time?” Wang Jian didn’t forget to shoot off a remark in between casting his rod, seemingly concerned, yet the veiled sarcasm and schadenfreude were quite apparent.
Yue Feng stretched out a grin and scratched his head, “There’s still time, just need to figure something out.
I haven’t even lit the fire, so there’s no question of it going out!”
The microphone from the livestream didn’t discriminate, and the quiet conversations between the two men were broadcast live.
This immediately riled up the viewers in the livestream room.
“Damn, what poor sportsmanship, just started catching a few fish and already taunting!”
“What’s going on with the host?
Weren’t there a lot of fish in the nest at the start?
Why aren’t they biting?”
“You’re not really fat first; wait until the fish in the nest begin to bite, then let’s take care of him!”
Yue Feng quickly glanced through the public chat in the livestream room, but he did not respond.
After adjusting the Loose Powder, he continued with small bomb extractions to lure the fish, waiting for the school in the nest to start biting.
During the wait of over ten minutes, Wang Jian had gone from sporadic catches to a string of catches.
His rod was quite stiff, allowing for quick removal of fish from the water in just two to three seconds, boasting high efficiency.
In a short time, he had already caught nearly twenty fish.
“I told you the formula I used was effective; many people thought I was bluffing, but now they’ve got nothing to say!” Wang Jian’s mood was extremely cheerful!
“Heh,” Yue Feng laughed noncommittally.
“How about I give you some?
You paid to come fish, so you shouldn’t be left as the ‘Air Force.’ The quality of the fish today is actually pretty good!
Ah, another one!” While talking, Wang Jian lifted the rod again and caught another one right on!
It’s a common flaw among fishermen to brag and blow hot air.
With the ‘Air Force’ trying to be reasonable, Yue Feng faced Wang Jian’s insipid taunts without taking the bait, persisting patiently in tossing in his Double-hooked Scattering Bombs to lure the fish.
About half an hour into the fishing, Yue Feng cast another rod with Double-hooked Scattering Bombs into the water.
As the float turned over and sank, it suddenly paused in motion.
Yue Feng’s heart stirred, and he immediately lifted his fishing rod to cast another double-hooked lure back into the water.
Since the double-hooked Loose Bait was too large for fish to easily take into their mouths, the brief pause in movement was quite evident.
Yue Feng judged it to be a bite.
The next second, a sight that shocked everyone unfolded.
As the new bait entered the water, the float didn’t turn over but lay flat on the surface.
Yue Feng thought the line might have landed on the fish’s back and didn’t rush to set the hook, waiting two seconds instead.
The float still hadn’t righted itself; rather, it started moving diagonally downstream.
Yue Feng, having fished for crucian carp for so long, had never seen such peculiar float movement before.
Watching this, an image formed in his mind.
As soon as the bait hit the water, the fish snatched it before the sinker could even straighten out the line, indicating a very high strike.
Lifting the rod to set the hook, a tremendous force transmitted from underwater.
After a brief struggle, he used the rod’s backbone to surface the fish.
Double-tail!
“They’re biting, the fish in the spot are biting!”
“Damn!
First cast and it’s a double-tail!”
“Double-tail +1”
“Double-tail +2”
“The brothers upstairs seem to be missing the point, is this about single or double tails?
The float didn’t even turn over before the fish were hooked.
Looks like the fish are at least seventy to eighty centimeters off the bottom!”
“Sharp eyes upstairs, estimating the water depth to be about one and a half meters, minus the length of the float and the leader, the line could at most be seventy to eighty centimeters.
Either the fish have risen up, or they’ve filled up the feeding spot—I think the latter is more likely!”
There were indeed knowledgeable people in the live stream who, through simple logical reasoning and observation of the line’s length, had roughly figured out the situation with the fish in Yue Feng’s spot.
After hooking double-tails twice in a row, Yue Feng’s heart settled—finally, a regular bite.
But the next second, Yue Feng was troubled again.
He was known for his high-definition float watching live streams, and now, the float wouldn’t even stand up when it hit the water, so what was there to watch?
Almost instinctively, Yue Feng pulled the float seat down thirty centimeters and cast it into the water again.
By shortening the line, he estimated the float would stand up.
Yet, on the next cast, the float was still in a state where it wouldn’t turn over before the fish struck.
Yue Feng thought, damn it, I’ll just keep sliding the float down!
Another thirty centimeters!
Now, the bottom hook was a full sixty centimeters off the bottom, changing from bottom fishing to midwater fishing.
However, the adjustment was effective; the float finally had the liberty to reveal the bites.
“Holy shit, is Feng planning to play it tough?
Fishing for big crucian carp in Black Pit halfway above the bottom?”
“You’re mostly right upstairs, this is called fixed-layer fishing!” fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
“Yue Feng’s getting cunning.
Before, it wasn’t that there were no fish taking the bait.
He was holding back, intentionally casting to lure the fish.
Now, I bet the feeding spot is overflowing with fish!”
“Seems like that’s exactly what’s happening!
Suddenly it’s non-stop action without any warning!”
“But with today’s fishy conditions, the rod he’s using is a bit too soft, the double-tails retrieval is slightly slow!”
