Chapter 523 - 237: Murderous Intent
At the moment the fishing started, Lin Yang entered battle mode, holding double hooks with large-size Scatter Bomb Bait, bombarding the spot directly in front of him in a frenzy.
The basic skills honed in domestic black pit Crucian Carp fishing were not wasted here when fishing for High-back Crucian Carp; the technique was utilised to its full extent.
In the early stages of baiting, the Scatter Bomb Bait had a slightly lower water content, starting to atomize as soon as it hit the water, forming a column-like mist from the surface down to the bottom.
If it were an ordinary angler, the accuracy of casting might be poorer, possibly causing the atomization area to scatter more widely, but Lin Yang, as a top domestic angler, had nearly perfect overlap of the baits’ landing points when doing targeted casting.
If there was a camera underwater, one could clearly see that at the very center of the baited area, every 20 seconds or so, two large triangular Scatter Bomb Bait balls would sink into the water, continuously falling and forming various detritus, creating an increasingly dense misty trail.
Having briefly explained the status of Lin Yang’s baited spot, let’s talk about the habits of these Japanese High-back Crucian Carps.
The High-back Crucian Carp is called "Heila" in Japanese, and the Heila fishing method is named after this fish species. Their habits are similar to those of the domestic High-back Crucian Carp, with slightly larger mouths, a preference for bait with heavy atomization, and a greater tendency to feed at the surface compared to domestic Silver Crucian Carp, Jiangsu Crucian Carp, or varieties like Zhongke No.3.
How to fish for such habituated fish doesn’t need much explanation; if they like to feed at the surface, then go for a strong attack, the more the fish gather, the easier it is to catch them.
In a strong atomization state, Lin Yang’s baited spot quickly showed activity, but he didn’t rush to change the bait to capture the fish’s attention; instead, he continued the previous baiting action.
