The Top Fishing

Feeling the tug of a fish, he immediately began to swiftly reel in the line, and soon he saw a slender little fish the size of his palm being pulled up from the water.

He had caught this type of fish before; it was a small, colorless Makou Fish weighing at most only about a couple of ounces. Naturally, the feeling of reeling in such a small fish could not compare to the thrill of landing a big one.

Lin Yang had realized that lure fishing didn’t compare with traditional fishing methods, and even felt like he was getting something for nothing...

Everyone knows that fishing is both simple and complicated.

It’s simple because all you need is a fishing rod, line, float, and hook, and then dig up some earthworms to start fishing.

It’s complicated because if you want a better catch, you need to study rods, lines, floats, hooks, and even prepare the bait to attract the fish, sometimes even requiring proper commercial bait.

Apart from not being cheap, the main issue is that preparation takes a long time.

Lure fishing is different when it comes to catch size; it’s nowhere near as productive as conventional fishing.

After all, it targets predatory fish species, which already halves the options compared to regular fishing. Without bait to draw a school, you can only hope to catch them one at a time.

Maybe someone would argue that with rich resources, lure fishing might not fall short of normal fishing, but in reality, as long as the resources are good, traditional fishing will definitely yield more than lure fishing.

But there’s one aspect traditional fishing can’t match with lure fishing—convenience. Lure fishing doesn’t require finding a spot, rushing for Hua Jian, or racing to a backwater curve. It even allows you to fish while standing, just find some rapids, throw in a lure, and you’re set—it’s very convenient.
