After finishing their fishing session, they looked at each other and smiled, then returned to their fishing spot. They put away the Grass Carp Bait and replaced it with half a bag of small bait, setting it aside. As for the Grass Carp Bait, they casually stuffed it into their pockets; a single piece could keep them fishing for half an hour. This bag of plastic particles was enough for them to last the entire night!
Having been quiet for so long, they switched to the new bait and cast their lines again, hoping to catch another fish before the night owls arrived. Ideally, they wanted to show off their catch in front of them, making it hard for the others to leave as they swatted mosquitoes.
After working late until nearly nine o'clock, Zhang Junming collapsed onto his bed, too exhausted to move. He pulled out his phone and opened his social media feed to check on any updates from clients. It was essential to like and comment on work-related posts every night; even the smallest matters deserved support!
Liu Zong's dog had given birth! This was not something that could be resolved with just a like; he needed to send a red envelope for good luck and promise a high price for one of the puppies. Whether he would actually get one was uncertain, but he wanted to keep this lead on file for future visits.
Zhou's granddaughter won an award in her kindergarten painting competition! He liked and congratulated her with a red envelope, planning to visit one day to seek advice on art. With such an outstanding granddaughter, Zhou must have artistic talent running through his veins!
Long Zong caught a big grass carp in the middle of the night! This was significant news! He liked the post, commented, and sent a red envelope, suggesting they go fishing together someday.
Wait a minute! Lobster! What the hell! Was he taking time off to go fishing? Seeing this, Zhang Junming immediately jumped out of bed and made a call!
"What’s going on? It’s late at night! Didn’t you just get back?" As he stepped out of his bedroom, Zhang Fu Ren was carrying a glass of water towards his room. Seeing Zhang Junming rush out, he quickly asked.
"Nothing serious, you go back to sleep. There’s some work at the company; I might have to go back in tonight!" Zhang Junming casually replied before turning his attention back to the phone call that had connected: "Long Zong, are you still awake? Hold on!"
After saying that, he pushed the door open and took the elevator down. Once outside, Zhang Junming cursed loudly: "Aren't you supposed to be catching someone cheating? Did you go to Sha Niu Po Reservoir? What happened? Did you find a body? Share your coordinates with me; I’ll head over right now and help you set up a spot! Just half an hour!"
After hanging up on Zhang Junming, Lobster shook his head slightly. "Why bother?"
The distance from here to the city was still considerable; even driving from the highway would take over twenty minutes. Of course, there were those who fished at Yi Tian Reservoir at night or even fished at this reservoir with friends. Seeing two people post on social media about it made him speed up towards them.
Before the main group arrived, Lobster noticed a bite on his line. First came a strong tug, then the bobber began dancing in the water like it was doing a spacewalk.
Seizing the moment, Lobster struck hard; tonight he wasn’t going easy on the fish! However, he wasn’t in a hurry to reel it in just yet; he wanted to enjoy playing with it for a while and let those fishermen unloading gear from their cars see what was happening. He had no intention of bringing this fish in until he had thoroughly played with it!
"Xiaomi, how’s the bite here tonight?" Two fishermen approached from behind him as they carried their gear.
Being fellow fishermen who roamed around several reservoirs and rivers daily meant they had crossed paths often enough to be familiar with each other.
"This spot is all weeds below; I keep getting snagged! Look at this—snagged again!" Lobster said seriously while loosening his rod slightly.
Your aquatic plants have grown legs! They even run around in the water! Do you want me to dive in and cut the line for you? Otherwise, you might end up losing your rod again! Looking at the lobster, Bro behind him could only sigh in exasperation.
There was nothing more to learn from the lobster, so it was time to set up and start fishing!
With a fish on the line, the surrounding fish were surely startled. It was best to keep a distance from this guy!
A few fishermen left with their fishing boxes, heading towards Xiao Tiao's spot nearby.
After playing with a fish for nearly ten minutes and sending off three batches of fishermen, it finally gave up struggling and just wanted a quick end!
Seeing the fish flipped over, the lobster felt helpless. He scooped it up in a net and placed it directly into the keeper—a grass carp weighing just over a pound, nearly half the size of the one Wang Ergou caught.
Casting his line again, he checked his phone for the time. Zhang Junming would probably arrive in about ten minutes. He wondered if he could catch another fish within that time; it seemed a bit unlikely!
Wang Ergou's grass carp still had plenty of fight left. In just over half an hour, more than twenty night owls had come by, filling both of them with excitement.
Come on! Let’s see what you’ve got! Tonight, it’s hard to believe your floats will hold steady!
The fishermen in their circle were quite well-mannered; most understood the habits of grass carp. When they arrived, they kept quiet, only whispering greetings or offering cigarettes and matches, careful not to startle the fish with lighter noises!
When Zhang Junming arrived, just as he got close, Wang Ergou hooked another fish.
Hearing the splashing sound, Zhang Junming lost all interest in spectating. He grabbed his fishing box and hurried over to the lobster. If he was late, this group would have already caught all the fish!
Lobster, Bro over there has hooked a fish! The rod is about to snap! How are you doing? Running over to the lobster's side without even setting down his fishing box, Zhang Junming quickly sought information!
“Zhang Junming, keep your voice down! The fish are more alert at night; any noise might scare them away!” After saying that, the lobster stood up and added, “You can fish right next to me! I’ll cast left while you cast right—don’t go too far out; just three or four meters from shore where it’s a bit over a meter deep. Keep an eye on my rod while I adjust your float!”
He had just hooked a fish and scared off the spot; there wouldn’t be any bites for about twenty minutes. It was perfect timing to settle Zhang Junming down!
What would he do if he sent Zhang Junming elsewhere? Fish for Chou Tiao? If Zhang Junming got bored and left, wouldn’t that mean all his efforts were in vain?
From Zhang Junming's rod bag, he pulled out a four-and-a-half-meter small rod and rummaged through his fishing box for a line setup. After finding a bottom rig float and getting everything ready, he unearthed half a pack of Wo Liao from some corner and reluctantly grabbed a handful to toss in.
