With a nine-meter Rod and a large Da Piao hook, there’s no need to search for the bottom this time; just set the float. It’s hot now, so I’ll start fishing at a depth of one and a half meters. After a while, once the fish are attracted, I’ll gradually raise it!
Recently, business at the shop has been good. Whether it’s Fishing Rods or consumables like floats, hooks, and sinkers, or other small accessories, sales are visibly increasing.
However, there’s one item that isn’t selling well: Fish Bait. Since opening the store, I haven’t sold many packets of Fish Bait. Newbies don’t come here, and seasoned anglers order in bulk online—who would come to my little shop to buy small quantities?
I don’t understand either. Do you really need to use that much Fish Bait to catch fish? Buying it by the box seems excessive; won’t it go bad before you can use it? But if it does spoil, it might not matter—using it for catching Qing Cao Lian Yu could be even more effective! Still, catching Qing Cao Lian Yu is quite expensive; a day of fishing would easily start at four or five hundred in Fishing Expenses!
Mixing the Bait and adjusting my biological clock, I knead a large ball of bait and cast my line—the biological clock is set in motion.
...Pull!
Fifteen seconds per cast; I’ll finish this packet of Bait first to see if it works. If I get a bite, I’ll keep going; if not, I’ll take a break!
Qing Cao Lian Yu prefer high temperatures. While other fish may not bite at noon, Qing Cao Lian Yu won’t care about that; this is their feeding time!
In hot weather or overcast days with low atmospheric pressure and oxygen levels in the water, they all come up to the surface to gasp for air—those are the times when they won’t bite.
After casting over ten times, the old men nearby shuddered with each pull. The nine-meter Rod has quite an impressive presence; every time I reel in, it makes a whooshing sound.
“Xiao Tian, are you getting any bites over there?”
Rubbing my heart that was racing from being startled by Shi Tian, Yi Laotou turned to me and asked.
“Nope! Not a single bite yet!” I casually replied while reeling in another cast.
This time, Yi Laotou’s interruption caused my biological clock to stop—I lost count! But it doesn’t matter; I’ve cast enough. I knead another ball of bait and start counting again!
“Xiao Tian! Fishing is like life; this Float represents opportunity! Without opportunity, no matter how much effort you put in, it’s all in vain!”
After giving me a meaningful look, Yi Laotou continued: “When opportunities are scarce, you need to focus on enriching yourself while building up your strength for future opportunities. You must be good at discovering and seizing opportunities; only then can you achieve more with less effort!”
After listening to the old man’s words and nodding in agreement, I cast again and kneaded more bait to continue fishing!
“Master, this is a new fishing method that’s been trending online! Since I sell Fishing Gear, I have to learn it first!” I casually deflected Yi Laotou’s attention while still focused on my actions.
Catching Qing Cao Lian Yu is all about frequency. If you master the frequency and drop a whole packet of Bait in, there will definitely be bites; if not, then it’s time to go home and wash up for bed!
“Is this online method effective? Can it catch big fish?” Scratching his head, the old man pondered before asking.
“Who knows if those online methods really work? If I learn them now, could I become their master?”
While Yi Laotou contemplated taking on apprentices, I continued casting my Rod earnestly: “I don’t know how effective the online methods are for catching fish, but they sure consume a lot of Bait. If everyone uses this method, my little shop should do quite well!”
Listening to the banter between the two masters and disciples, Old Wen couldn't help but notice how their lips twitched like electric motors! Shi Tian's fishing method was clearly aimed at catching the Azure Wind Antelope; as long as one wasn't a novice like Yi Laotou, it was easy to understand.
But did Xinyue Lake even have Azure Wind Antelope? If it did, that would be great. These fish grow quickly, provide a good feel when caught, and most importantly, even when other fish aren't biting at noon, they still can be caught!
Fishing for Azure Wind Antelope isn't that complicated. As long as there's a large body of water, sufficient depth, and favorable weather conditions, you're good to go!
Xiao Tian, fishing for big fish isn't like Chou Tiao; you need patience and to seize the right moment. Otherwise, you won't catch anything!
Just as Yi Laotou finished speaking, Shi Tian suddenly felt a tug on his line. Seizing the moment, he jerked the rod sharply, and the sound of splashing water followed immediately!
The other fish in Xinyue Lake may not be large, but the Azure Wind Antelope certainly had a respectable size. In the north, the growth cycle for farmed Azure Wind Antelope is three years; they can reach about seven or eight pounds before being ready for market. However, here in Sanya, the high temperatures allow for nearly double the feeding time compared to the north. With abundant aquatic vegetation and continuous inflow from upstream rivers, food is plentiful, leading to much faster growth rates.
With a rod over nine meters long bent under the weight of a big fish, it felt exhilarating! He planted the rod firmly on the ground against his foot and wrapped his elbow around it, occasionally drawing circles in the air while letting the fish struggle in the water.
Shi Tian had hooked an Azure Wind Antelope, and Old Wen and his companions instinctively began to reel in their lines. The net and fish basket were prepared one by one as they busily worked together.
Seeing everyone else pulling in their rods, Yi Laotou also reeled in his line and moved closer. He couldn't help but feel envious as he watched Shi Tian with his rod. It looked like this fish was bigger than any he had caught today; suddenly his own catches seemed less impressive!
After more than ten minutes of tussling, the fish was finally close to shore. Old Kong swiftly scooped it up with a net—a nearly ten-pound catfish! Shi Tian shook his head at the sight.
This thing wouldn't bite; it wasn't worth keeping without Hua Lian's help. So he decided to toss it into the basket instead!
Once the fish was secured in the basket, Shi Tian pulled up his float half a meter. If there were catfish at one and a half meters deep, then Hua Lian should be deeper than that; he would adjust it down half a meter to test the waters!
Xiao Tian, do you still have any bait for Azure Wind Antelope in your box? I need to borrow a pack! After washing his hands, Old Kong didn't wait for Shi Tian's response before opening his fishing box.
