If I had a place like this, I wouldn't do anything else, just fish every day!
I wonder if Brother Yang's base welcos fellow anglers for visits and trial fishing? Sounds quite promising!
I'm learning aquaculture, and from the released data, the species and density of fish stocked seem reasonable, much richer than ordinary reservoir species!
In many reservoirs, for economic reasons, they overfeed and only raise silver carp, and bottom fish are almost extinct!
Zhang Yang grinned: "Haha, this has been an idea of mine for a long ti, owning my own reservoir is a dream since I started fishing!
Now that I have the capability, I have put it into action!
The reservoir is mainly used as a live streaming venue and, in principle, is temporarily not open to outside anglers! But, after all, principles are made to be broken!
Later on, I will add new fun activities to the reservoir, such as giving out fishing spots through interactive live stream draws, organizing gatherings, and other ideas are still being considered. Everyone is welco to brainstorm together!
Alright, the warm-up ti is over; let's officially start today's fishing live stream!
First, let introduce my partner, ng Fan, Little ng.
Today, he will be joining as the featured angler for our live stream debut!
The target fish for today's live stream is large crucian carp, so let's start the preparatory work before fishing!
Little ng, say hello to our friends in the live stream room!"
ng Fan, despite his young age, wasn't nervous in front of the cara. He waved calmly to the streaming audience, grinning broadly as a greeting.
Zhang Yang continued: "Generally, fishing in reservoirs in May targets mainly crucian carp, with so carp and other dium to large fish on the side.
At this point, large crucian carps have finished spawning and are gradually moving towards deeper waters, so how should we prepare specifically for fishing?
Based on my personal experience, when fishing for crucian carp in a reservoir, before deciding on an approach to baiting, first determine the situation with small nuisance fish in the reservoir!
If small nuisance fish dominate, it's best not to use powdered comrcial bait for baiting, as it may cause a frenzy of small fish and you might not catch any crucian carp!
Fortunately, I know our reservoir's fish situation well.
Before the previous reservoir contractor expired last year, they hired a lot of electrofishing boats and trawlers to fish repeatedly over several days. Big and small fish were mostly cleared out, so our reservoir has fewer nuisance fish!
Based on this, we've co up with our baiting strategy for today!
We'll use pure grain-based bait as the base, add a lot of rice for making wine to keep fish in the area as the core, and mix in comrcially-flavored bait with milk and fruit scents to speed up fish gathering!
Little ng, what are you standing around for? Go grab our basin, let's start baiting!"
Damn, bring our basin? That sounds so over-the-top!
Using a bait basin counts as a basin, so no need to be surprised, brother!
Brother upstairs clearly hasn't fished in a reservoir before. A bait basin is so small, what's it good for? If you want fish to co ashore, trade it with food! I'm guessing it's a large basin!
With such a large water surface, to fish well, you definitely need ten or eight pounds of bait! Too little won't gather many fish!
The viewers were already thinking of so exaggerated possibilities, but the next second, seeing ng Fan carrying over an extra-large child's bathtub from the side, they were still shocked.
Oh my god, using a bathtub for baiting? That must be at least eighty pounds, if not a hundred pounds! Brother Yang is playing big!
A certain live strear was fishing, finished baiting, and the reservoir water level rose by ten centiters!
Master angler, Zhang Yang, also known as Master Basin Filler? Seeing this basin, the anticipation is maxed out!
Zhang Yang, being soone who's lived two lives, knows all about the famous anglers' gags in the fishing world, and now's the ti to build his account's attribute tags and cultivate the strear persona, so how could he miss this opportunity?
In his past life, famous scenes like those of Liu Changgan, Deng Lianhong, Li Dapen, and Hua Qianjin that anglers talked about, Zhang Yang doesn't want to miss any in this life.
Having poured hundreds of thousands into contracting fees and fish money, why worry about the cost of baiting?
In a word, go for it!
Soon, under the gaze of the live stream audience, ng Fan hauled out two boxes of bait produced by their own bait factory from the hut.
Comrcial bait, rice for making wine, pure grains, he opened one pack after another as if they cost no money and started dumping them into the basin, stirring them thoroughly. Although he hadn't added water yet, it already occupied more than half the bathtub's space.
Next, he simply and roughly scooped water from the shore with a bucket to start making the bait.
Adding water, stirring, this was ng Fan's first ti handling such a big job. He rolled up his sleeves and worked vigorously, yet before they even started fishing, sweat was already on his forehead!
Ten minutes later, the bait was preliminarily prepared.
Zhang Yang glanced at the bait in the bathtub and nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, not bad! Whether we catch fish or not, we certainly have the montum!
Even though I organized this reservoir, to be honest, I also don't know which spots are better!
With the bait ready, let's follow basic fishing knowledge, pick several vantage points, and tentatively bait them to find the most suitable spot through test fishing!
With such a vast water area, where should we mark as the fishing spot?
Listen to my analysis, anglers wanting to learn can take out their little notebooks!
As the saying goes, fish long in the waist, angle in the corner, fish deep in the shallow, and shallow in the deep, if there's a sharp point, fish it, if not, fish the backwater bay.
These fishing proverbs mostly apply to pond fishing positions, but actually, in relatively structured reservoir areas, choosing fishing locations also makes sense!
Our reservoir's predecessor was a pit dug for brick production, with relatively level water, and today's south wind, so my first choice for a fishing spot is near the midsection at the downwind position on the north bank!
Crucian carp are sensitive to oxygen; the downwind position makes it easier for them to gather!
Additionally, according to the village head's news, the northeast corner, originally a dirt road for material hauling, is also relatively shallow, making it our second marked spot!
The crucian carp were stocked less than a week ago, so they might not be in the deep water yet; let's give it a try!
The third marker is near the midsection of the East Bank, where the view isn't backlit, and the midsection position should also suffice! Let's go with these three!
Little ng, today we'll test you, just use the 7.2-ter short rod!"
After a round of explanations, ng Fan quickly got into combat mode, taking out the rod from the bag and swiftly adjusting the float and setting up the prep work.
In the live stream room, hearing Zhang Yang deliberately ntion the 7.2-ter short rod, it erupted again.
What the heck, a 7.2-ter short rod, Yang, do you have so misunderstanding about what short ans!
In my seventh year of fishing, the longest rod I've used is 6.3 ters. Most of the year, with the 3.6 or 3.9-ter short rods catching crucian carp, I've barely touched the 6.3-ter, and it's a pain to cast every single ti I do.
For the strear, a 7.2-ter short rod? Are you kidding?
Bro, from the south? Fishing resources must be good?
The old n by our big river already use 8, 9, or even 10-ter rods like they're in an arms race! Catching fish with a 3.6-ter rod? Wishful thinking!
Based in Wuhan, our cannon rods start at dozens of ters, with the longer ones stretching over twenty. By those standards, 7.2 ters is indeed short!
Haha, you anglers think Brother Yang's joking? Clearly, you haven't watched previous videos of wild fishing on the River Jianghua Horizon's public account, one episode on reservoir crucian carp fishing!
Man, Brother Yang sat through the whole thing, tossing a 7.2-ter rod at high frequency, not budging for hours!
Seeing the variety of comnts from the public, Zhang Yang grinned: "Cough, cough, heroes don't boast of past glories, today I won't step on the fishing platform, let Little ng show you all!
I'm not exaggerating, ng Fan's casting is quite thodical, our pit edge is much higher than the water level, Little ng casting a 7.2-ter is not a problem...right?"
Having been drawn into such a spiel, ng Fan felt the pressure but couldn't express it, so he had to nod heavily: "It's okay, I'll give it a try. Don't laugh if my casting isn't accurate!"
After saying this, ng Fan quietly removed the 2.1 gram number two float clamped on his ear and replaced it with a 3.2 gram number three large float. Though the higher lead content decreases sensitivity, it at least eases the casting difficulty.
Setting the float, finding the bottom, baiting in one fell swoop, after completing the preparations, ng Fan plopped down on the fishing box. The first live stream from Dream Reservoir had officially begun!
