Various response plans quickly ford in Zhang Yang's mind, only to be passed over one by one.
Until a thought erged and was selected by Zhang Yang.
Since both the rubbing bait and the scattering thod weren't effective, I wonder if the Ma Tuan fishing thod could work! With this in mind, Zhang Yang imdiately began to adjust.
The so-called Ma Tuan fishing thod has little to do with the sesa ball eaten during festivals, but is a special fishing technique for late-stage or wary fish.
The specific thod involves adding edible glue to the rubbing bait to give it a certain stickiness.
At this ti, sticking particles like opening materials, small grains, and Rice for Making Wine, which only scatter without atomizing in water, onto the bait core and casting it into the fishing spot is the general Ma Tuan fishing thod!
This baiting approach is a unique path compared to the high-atmosphere scattering attack thod.
It can avoid the stimuli caused by high atomization on fish that have already had a stress response, while continuously scattering bait to attract fish.
anwhile, the larger the fish, the more they like these constantly falling small particles.
Now both the scattering thod and conventional rubbing bait have been used with poor results, so we can only treat the dying horse as if it were alive and try the Ma Tuan fishing thod.
Zhang Yang got up from his fishing position, took a bottle of worm glue for red worms from the fishing box, then broke apart his previously prepared rubbing bait, sprinkled a thin layer, added a little water, and kneaded it slightly. The bait core for the Ma Tuan was then adjusted.
After kneading and adding edible glue, the bait core was soft and sticky, and if left in the water, it might not expand or fall off for ten to twenty minutes.
With the bait core ready, next was the Ma Tuan's outer coating "dipping sauce". Since the opening material particles weren't brought down from the van, Zhang Yang had to improvise with substitutes.
He took out the No. 2 snail carp bait again, using the landing net handle as a sieve to simply sift the bait.
The fine powder fell into the basin unused, while the expanded particles on the sieve beca the dipping sauce for the Ma Tuan fishing thod, gathered together and poured into the bait box.
With the preparations done, it was ti for practical application.
Zhang Yang pinched his left hand on a damp towel, took a bit of bait core with his fingers, rolled it into a long strip, divided it in two, and baited the hook. He then placed the two rolled bait cores into the dipping sauce full of expanded particles, scooped them up, and lightly pressed them. The Ma Tuan baiting was completed.
The bait core was already sticky, and after being coated with particles and a slight pressure, the entire bait core was covered with particles, resembling a festive sesa ball.
Baiting complete, Zhang Yang gently flicked his wrist with his forearm, accurately casting the fishing assembly into the fishing spot. After the bobber turned over, a slight flick of the rod subrged the line, completing a new cast.
If there was a view underwater at this mont, one would see the two bait balls, covered with expanded bait, entering the water with surface particles quickly starting to fall off. Once the two baits hit the bottom, most of the coating on the bait core fell off, leaving traces of scattered particles on the bottom.
Similar to the scattering bait's aggressive approach, the Ma Tuan fishing thod is also a combination of temptation and fishing.
The falling particles scattered in water also have a certain fish-attracting effect, without obvious atomization, making it highly targeted.
Adjusting the Ma Tuan fishing thod, Zhang Yang patiently cast more than twenty rods in succession,
Just as he was about to lose hope, there was finally so movent in the fishing spot. Large fish bubbles suddenly floated up at a distance near the double bait drop point.
Noticing this detail, Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he imdiately pushed the lead sinker seat up to the bottom of the float seat, directly fishing with a heavy lead.
With fish lingering outside the fishing spot's distant point, it indicated that the Ma Tuan fishing thod was working. Under these fishing conditions today, connecting the rods was basically not possible; first, he had to think of getting one fish up.
After adjustnt, the next cast was made again near the spot where bubbles appeared, the bobber quickly turned over in the water, and then began a long journey to settle in place.
When the bobber was at least thirty centiters from being in place,
suddenly, the bobber went pop! pop!
Two consecutive strong downward bites, it's eating the bait!
Zhang Yang's full attention was on the bobber and fishing spot, and he imdiately lifted the rod to strike the fish upon seeing the bobber's movent.
The rod tip sank, it hit!
This fish had considerable strength, and after the strike, it buried its head to the left,
Zhang Yang leaned forward, held the rod handle, and after a standoff of about two or three seconds, he brought the fish's head back, his left hand assisted the handle, and smoothly lifted the fishing rod, the fish was now basically secure.
Unlike the steady behavior of a carp after being hooked, this fish had already shown a different struggling posture before surfacing,
It moved faster, but not much stronger, and after a few rounds, it ran out of energy. Quickly, Zhang Yang used the rod's strength to lift the fish to the surface.
After choking on water twice, the fish settled down.
A Grass Carp, approximately over four pounds!
A teammate ntioned last night that there were Grass Carp in the river, but Zhang Yang didn't expect to catch one with the Ma Tuan thod using a heavy lead.
Noticing the straightforward bite action, Zhang Yang specially observed the fish's condition while unhooking it; there were no extra wounds in the fish's mouth, and its skin was smooth without damage, likely a fresh fish.
With a decent Grass Carp as a base catch, Zhang Yang felt much calr, with many anglers in the group having not even started. Having a big fish in hand, at least he wouldn't end up with nothing.
