After selling the fish at the market and dividing the profits, Zhang Yang followed the usual routine and gave half of the earnings to Xiao Yi, then everyone returned ho.
The whole day of intense fishing drained Zhang Yang's energy greatly, so after dinner, he quickly washed up and went to his room to rest. The drowsiness set in, and he soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, around four o'clock, Zhang Yang's five o'clock alarm hadn't sounded yet, but his phone rang first.
Zhang Yang, still sleepy-eyed, grabbed the phone on the bedside and pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
"Not awake yet? It's Old Zhao!"
"Huh? What's going on?" Hearing Old Zhao's voice, Zhang Yang beca a bit more awake.
"Stop sleeping, bring over two more fish baskets; there's no place to store the fish! Also, bring so extra fishing line, last night's night fishing resulted in big breams filling mine and Jun's fish baskets, and the line is nearly cut! And rember to bring so burlap sacks when you co!"
"Stop joking, it's not even light outside yet!"
Zhang Yang's first reaction to this news was that Old Zhao was joking with him.
This group of anglers all ca from the hardcore fishing scene, using fish baskets with a diater of at least 40 or 45 centiters. If they can't hold any more fish, how much fish must there be? Conservatively speaking, it must be 200 or 300 kilograms.
"I'm not joking! We caught a few carp and grass carp in the first half of the night but then the bites stopped.
After adding more bait, since a bit past one in the morning, it's been nonstop catches of hefty breams! Even more exciting than fishing those hardcore pits!"
Seemingly to confirm Old Zhao's words, Wang Jun next door also shouted loudly: "Really, Xiao Zhang, hurry and bring the fish baskets, we ran out of bait, and even just hanging red worms, just a bit of leftover worm skin can catch a fish!
Also, we haven't eaten all night, bring so breakfast when you co!
Wow, another fish caught!"
Now, Zhang Yang was fully awake.
"Alright, I'm heading over right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang quickly got out of bed, dressed, washed his face hastily, and left the house.
Before heading to the fishing spot, Zhang Yang needed to stop at the store. On the way, he ssaged ng Fan and Xiao Yi, arranging for them to join him. After grabbing the fish baskets, line, and bait from the store, he hurried to the fishing spot.
By the ti he reached Nansu Village Point, it was past five, and the sky hadn't completely brightened yet. As his minivan turned off Yanhe Road onto a small road, he saw a figure with a headlamp approaching near the spot.
"Zhang Yang?"
"It's ! How are you guys doing, Jun?"
"Did you bring the fish baskets, bait, and line? We're still catching fish like crazy! The 0.8# line is all cut, now using 1.2# line with size eight hooks, and the fish are still biting furiously!"
"Brought it, it's in the back seat!"
"Quickly then!"
Zhang Yang parked the car, followed Wang Jun, and ran to the water's edge at the spot, just in ti to see Old Zhao catching fish with his rod!
Wang Jun wasn't ssing around, he took out a large bait mixing bowl, tearing open five packs of Rice for Making Wine bait in succession, followed by a big bag of pure grain mix, hurriedly adding water and stirring until it could clump together was good enough.
Once the bait was ready, he carried the bowl and waded to the fishing platform, soon using bomb bait to start the bombardnt.
This series of aggressive operations almost overturned Zhang Yang's understanding of wild fishing, could wild fishing really be done like this without scaring the fish away?
Turns out, once the fish density reaches a certain level, there's nothing to fear!
Zhang Yang saw with his own eyes, Wang Jun and Old Zhao each threw at least three or four balls of Rice for Making Wine bait bombs into the spot, and within five minutes after the bites stopped, they started catching fish again quickly!
Taking advantage of the baiting pause, Old Zhao put down his rod, each hand holding a fish basket, dragged them to the shore.
Zhang Yang swept his headlamp casually over, wow, he wasn't exaggerating, the two competitive fish baskets had their strap tightened at the opening, and the bottom sections of the baskets were packed dense with fish.
"Wow, this is amazing, catching so many in one night!" Zhang Yang couldn't help but exclaim.
"Leave the fish baskets by the water, when it gets light, ng Fan and Xiao Yi will take over, and we'll haul them away!" Old Zhao said decisively.
"Other than bream, did you catch a lot of other fish?" Zhang Yang continued to ask.
Old Zhao replied truthfully: "In the first half of the night, we caught a few carp in the five-ter four spot.
Jun also caught a grass carp weighing nearly ten pounds, bites stopped from ten to one.
While chatting at night, we heard fish tail flips near the shore and under the fishing platform, tried the short rod, and found out the big breams were spawning close by! The fishing platform legs were covered in sticky spawn!
After one-thirty on, it's been nonstop catches!
The news of catching fish here must be kept secret, otherwise it will be even more lively than hardcore pit fishing!"
From a timing perspective, this season is indeed bream spawning ti, but during the day Zhang Yang hadn't noticed anything unusual.
This section has fewer anglers coming, and being upstream with relatively gathered fish, this is why there's such a vigorous fish condition here compared to hardcore pit fishing.
This kind of fish condition could be a once-in-a-decade occurrence, perhaps even once in a lifeti occurrence.
Zhang Yang frowned and said: "Not many people know about the Nansu Village Point underwater, good spots can only hold three fishing platforms!
Why not set up another fishing platform and secure the spots? Switch turns and if anyone unexpectedly cos, they won't snatch the best ones!"
"Alright, do as you say! My fishing platform is still in the car, hurry and change into rubber pants and set the platform up, if it gets light and other anglers happen to co by, it'll be tough if the news leaks!"
