Chapter 494 - 227: Power Capstan_3
The lively herring, even with a huge hook hanging from its back, still struggled mightily once in the water.
Normally it would stay near the surface, but now it was dragging the fishing rig downward.
This behavior was different from the conventional kite fishing method; in the end, it was because the swimming strength of the fish was slightly greater than the force of the kite and the fishing rig, resulting in a minor loss of balance.
However, Captain Harry and Lin Yang, upon noticing this, did not immediately reel it back in for readjustment.
The fish paste had just been deployed, and the big fish wouldn’t arrive that quickly; moreover, diving a few meters deep just marginally affected the observation of bait-eating, having a negligible impact on the actual fishing.
As they entered a waiting state, on the other side, the fishing boats with Gao Bai and others aboard were the first to make a catch.
The three main anglers, along with their respective captains, dragged a large quantity of miscellaneous fish from the cold storage onto the deck, processed them into three-section fish segments on the spot, and threw them into the sea as if it cost them nothing, to create a fishing ground.
It was one thing to use a large amount of miscellaneous fish to attract more fish, but they also played a little trick: the three boats aligned in a row, moving and casting bait fish simultaneously.
As a result, the bait fish created a loose trail in the water, with the three boats positioned in different areas of the trail, maximizing the theoretical success rate.
"Damn, these guys are really playing slick with us, pulling that team cooperation stunt," Zhang Lin kept an eye on their every move with his binoculars, and when he noticed their scattered baiting and repositioning, he couldn’t help but murmur his complaints.
Lin Yang laughed and said, "Do you think it will be effective? Today’s competition is about the heaviest single catch. Let me put it this way, let them toy around for two hours first, let them catch three or five Bluefin Gold Spear babies, and then we’ll talk."
