Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King-Chapter 58: Saturation Firepower Coverage Attack

Seeing the words bowling bait method, many might be confused, wondering how fishing is related to bowling since they seem entirely unrelated.

The bowling bait method uses a premium bait in a thick-bottom, thin-top shape resembling a bowling ball.

When baiting, the angler consciously controls the force to pinch the bait at the middle section of the hook shank.

With this premium bait, both the bottom and shank parts are in a blooming state without being overly clumped, which upon entering water, quickly absorbs, swells, falls off, and creates a cloud to lure fish.

The middle section pinched by the fingertips is more tightly bound, staying on the hook, serving as bait for the fish to feed on.

This is the essence of the bowling bait method, clear in its division of labor between attraction and fishing.

An experienced angler can, through baiting techniques, influence the bait’s state to a certain extent and thus improve fishing effectiveness in practice.

At this moment, Lang Junfeng’s technique with the bowling bait method was evidently a bit unpolished, something Zhang Yang recognized as a newly learned skill not yet fully mastered.

Despite the lack of proficiency, Zhang Yang became quietly cautious, as progress in baiting technique suggests an advancement in the understanding of fishing.

Why does Triangle Cannon outperform hand-cast feeding? It’s simple; the effect of luring fish with a three-dimensional full-water-layer approach crushes the effect of luring just at the water’s bottom!

If we only consider offensiveness, the bowling bait method doesn’t yet match the aggressive state of dry scattered bait like the Triangle Cannon, but it has developed a mindset combining three-dimensional fish attraction with aggressive fishing.

Compared to the past when most anglers used two clumps of soft, sticky bait that made dead clumping, this is a huge leap forward.

Zhang Yang wasn’t sure how much his opponent understood the new baiting method, but after observing this detail, he became slightly more wary.

Without realizing it, half an hour passed since releasing the fish, and at 6:20, Diao Changhe announced the official start of fishing.

Next, the noise of continuous hand-cast feeding filled the air over the entire fishing pit.

Zhang Yang, already accustomed to everyone tossing ’bombs’ at the start of fishing, calmly scooped a large fistful of scattered bait onto the lead, flicked his wrist, and effortlessly delivered the bait to the fishing spot.

Following the usual pattern, four balls of lead bait laid the foundation, and then he began drawing frequencies with the Triangle Cannon.

Meanwhile, lagging not far behind, Lang Junfeng followed suit with other anglers, throwing fist-sized enhanced bombs, one after another as if they cost nothing, more than ten in a row.

At this moment, another detail caught Zhang Yang’s attention.

Lang Junfeng’s bomb feeding locations weren’t concentrated in one spot but spread between a location five meters and one at 3.6 meters with the long rod and short rod, creating two spots at the start.

Just by noticing these, Zhang Yang knew that after suffering losses last time, old Lang had certainly gone back to reflect on his experience, possibly even seeking advice from experts.

The bowling bait method can enhance the dynamic fish-attracting effect.

The addition of small supplements can enhance bait palatability and attractiveness.

Now creating two spots, one near and one far, covers both the early fish conditions and potential later scenarios.

Theoretically, this battle plan essentially covers the shortcomings of the previous match.

After evaluating the opponent’s battle plan in his mind, Zhang Yang immediately made adjustments.

Now, in Zhang Yang’s assessment, solely depending on the four jin of scattered bait and the basic flavor profile of the bait to ensure winning seems quite challenging. Likely after the fishing contest, his side might have a slight edge, but without a significant impact!

To continue dominating fish yield and boosting competitiveness, there’s only one way: increase the ’bullets’!

Fish are simple creatures without much thought; even the old slippery ones have only trained a few reflex responses. Ultimately, an angler’s only intimate connection with the fish lies in the bait!

Under the appropriate wide framework of fish conditions, just having enough bait can gather more fish, and an increase in fish school density can eventually lead to qualitative changes!

Quickly, Zhang Yang prepared a full basin of bait, pulling out a convenience bag to pack the prepared bait, freeing up the bait-making basin, and he took out two more packs of bait from his fishing box to continue preparing.

Previously, four jin plus a small half pack of Jinlong carp powder, now another two jin, in a black pit with a total input fish weight of eight hundred jin, Zhang Yang prepared a total of six jin of scattered bait.

Today, he’s determined to go head-to-head with Lang Junfeng.

Only to see Zhang Yang skillfully mix the scattered bait evenly, then place the bait from the convenience bag into the bait basin, setting it behind him.

After finishing all this, Zhang Yang maintained an extremely fast frequency with the Triangle Cannon, focusing all his attention on all the anglers currently fishing on the grounds.

Presently, Zhang Yang urgently needed to know the timing node for the new fish to start biting today, and with this accurate judgment, he could adjust the fishing frequency in time and control the entire rhythm to take over the battlefield.

In Zhang Yang’s state of six-way observation, the first fish to officially bite was caught by an angler on the southern shore 25 minutes after fishing began.

Judging by the struggling behavior of the fish as the angler landed it, Zhang Yang knew this was the newly stocked fish for today.

This meant the timing node for the new fish to begin feeding was essentially nailed down!

From the next cast, Zhang Yang consciously adjusted his casting and feeding operations to attract fish, switching from double-hook Triangle Cannon to double-hook elastic pellet while pinching a scattered bomb with the sub-line to begin blasting!

Previously discussed, the advantage of line-bombing was that each cast was a scattered bait bundle the size of an egg thrown into the spot, forming a thick, three-dimensional vaporous smoke trail from the surface down to over two meters deep.

At least two rods per minute, Zhang Yang wasn’t considering the existing fish situation at all.

In military terms, today’s battle strategy is a saturation fire covering attack.

At least two egg-sized dry scattered bait bundles per minute were delivered to the spot, continuously without rest.

This fish-luring effect is quite exaggerated, and soon, there were subtle signs of fish entering the spot, with the bobber showing irregular movements after flipping over.

Faced with these, Zhang Yang ignored them all and persistently continued blasting.

The saying goes, "In a narrow pass, the brave will win." This is the critical face-to-face moment between Zhang Yang and his opponent; even the slightest difference could impact the final outcome.

Zhang Yang not only seeks revenge but also intends to assert authority, disregarding the costs or expenses now.

Compared to Zhang Yang, who seemed a bit enchanted by his high-frequency, large-spot fishing method, Lang Junfeng appeared much more conventional.

After laying the bottom spot, he began normally using the bowling bait method to pull frequency rod by rod, not too fast, about one rod every forty seconds or so.

The fish were quite active, and shortly after the first fish was caught on the southern shore, there were signs at Lang Junfeng’s spot, noticing the slight irregular bobbing of the bobber, he had a judgment in mind.

On the next cast, he baited an elliptical shaped standard dough bait onto the double hooks and cast it into the spot, after the bobber settled, he waited for about ten seconds before, with a flip of a nod, the bobber sank down!

Strike, hooked it!

Lang Junfeng was the first to open the score!
