Chapter 637 - 275: Pink Salmon
While he was talking, Lin Yang had already wound about fifty meters of PE line onto the reel, and after a quick fine-tuning, he tied a lure to the front end. The fishing gear was now assembled.
"I’m not sure about the underwater situation, so I need to be a bit conservative. I’ll first remove the treble hooks from the lure, and then cast a few times with an empty rod to find the bottom before making a decision," he said.
After he finished speaking, he removed the treble hooks, adopted the standard casting stance, and swung the fishing rod, shouting, "Off you go!"
The lure, trailing the fishing line, drew a silver arc through the air and landed effortlessly about thirty meters out on the water.
Lin Yang tried to tighten the line, his right hand resting on the rod, carefully sensing the subtle touches as the lure sank to the bottom.
Unexpectedly, the spot thirty meters away wasn’t as deep as he had imagined. Based on the sinking time, it was about four meters deep, with no major terrain variations. Relatively speaking, the lakebed was clean.
"Alright, after a few exploratory drags, I’ve found that the lakebed is fairly clean and flat, probably without much debris. Now I’ll reattach the treble hooks and start fishing properly to see if there are any fish attacking the bait," he added.
As Lin Yang spoke, he was already reeling the lure back in.
Suddenly, he felt a twitch at the rod tip—something predatory had noticed the lure and attacked it, but since there was no hook, it escaped.
