Chapter 478 - 222: Making a Nest in the Sea_2
Soon, everyone witnessed a brutal scene of kite fishing.
They saw Captain Harry deftly pierce a small-sized scale hook through the spine of a herring before placing the living fish back into the water.
Next was the kite deployment, using the wind above the sea surface to lift a simple cloth pocket kite; the fishing rig began to unspool steadily under the pull of the herring and the kite’s drag.
After a brief observation, Lin Yang grasped the essence of this fishing technique.
The lift of the kite kept the fishing line suspended in mid-air, and the weight of the herring, combined with the strength of the live fish’s movement, maintained the relative balance of the entire rig.
In this way, the herring swam near the water’s surface, shallow enough that the Bluefin Gold Spear lurking below could not see the fishing line and would mistake it for a small fish at the surface, thus lowering its guard to attack.
"What kind of fishing technique is this? It’s amazing."
"Aren’t we fishing for Bluefin Gold Spear? I can accept using live bait, but why are we flying a kite with the line now?"
"Brother upstairs, it’s clear you haven’t listened carefully to the host’s explanation. This is to conceal the line, to prevent the Big Bluefin from noticing."
