Chapter 208: Chapter 147: Fishing at Dongting_3

Lin Yang woke up to an extremely quiet outside, clearly the research team had not yet awakened.

When he got dressed and opened the door to the cabin, he instantly shrank his neck. It was early April, and a thick fog had formed outside, creating a hazy sensation.

"Brother Yang, you’re up! Let’s go watch the sunrise together. I read online that the sunrise at Dongting Lake is very beautiful, and I just want you to help me take some photos," said Yue’er, who was clearly also up not too long ago, her face immediately showing joy upon seeing Lin Yang come out of the cabin.

"Alright, but you’d better put on an extra piece of clothing, as it will surely get a bit cold once the wind starts blowing."

"Okay!"

After dawdling for a bit, both of them were fully equipped and stepped out, finding an area with a slightly better view, as the eastern sky had already turned a shade of red.

A few minutes later, a radiant, huge red sun leaped from the horizon line, showering the world in a golden glow.

Truth be told, Lin Yang liked traveling around, but he did not deliberately chase after experiences like getting up early for sunrises or watching rime on rainy days.

However, when he actually witnessed the sunrise, with clouds steaming and a colorful sky, the beauty of Dongting Lake’s sunrise still managed to astonish him.

In the distance, there was the boundless surface of Dongting Lake, with some reed clusters on the side. The rosy light reflected on the glittering water, and the slightly swaying reed clusters on the side made the beauty seem almost unreal.

So the sunrise could indeed be this beautiful. A glance across it made it seem as if, for a moment, one’s entire heart was drawn away by nature.

"Brother Yang, it’s so beautiful!"

"Yeah, it is indeed beautiful, and very pretty. I’ve never watched a sunrise like this before. Do you want to take some photos or maybe record a short video?"

"Yeah, but I missed the moment of sunrise, so I can only make up for that shot tomorrow."

"No worries, we will still be here for a few days. We can just get up a bit earlier tomorrow."

"It’s a deal then!"

The two quickly hit it off and started setting up their equipment to shoot.

The distant lake, vegetation, morning light, and the different shadows under the light, coupled with the lingering fog, composed an incredibly beautiful scene.

Lin Yang, once he started shooting, saw more than 20 minutes fly by without notice.

After being busy for half the morning, the research team in the other cabins quickly woke up, starting up fires to cook breakfast.

Before eight o’clock, they prepared noodles with poached eggs for everyone at the camp, coupled with several bags of pickled mustard tuber, and the group gathered around to eat heartily, a flavor of its own.

After breakfast, Chen Lin brought an assistant who looked a bit shorter over to Lin Yang.

"Last night you said you planned to start trial fishing by boat today and choose a spot to set up the equipment. I’ve assigned Xiao Li to control the boat for you and keep a log of the journey. If you need anything prepared in advance, just give us a heads-up, and I’ll arrange for someone to get it ready," said Chen Lin.

Lin Yang shook his head, "Professor Chen, there’s no need for such trouble, one boat and a driver are enough. We have walkie-talkies, so we can get in touch if anything arises."

"Alright, but remember, you must wear life jackets when you go on the water, and pay attention to safety!"

"OK!"

After Professor Chen offered several reminders, Lin Yang and Li Xiaopeng returned to the cabin to take out the equipment they would need for the day.

For fishing in such a large lake, bait fishing would obviously not work; he planned to use a lure rod.

Besides, he also prepared several different lure fishing schemes, with sound beads on the VIB little fish lures, mainly to search the middle and lower layers for predatory fish.

A jig head hook with a T-tail as a beginner set, plus two red head and white body lead pencil lures, he had essentially brought all the representative types of lures.

All the lures were sorted and placed into a professional lure waist bag. Then he took his award-winning special lure rod, a fish controller, a landing net, lure pliers, and a series of other tools. After checking everything was in order, they set off with their gear.

Initially, Xiao Li had no particular impression of this legendary Master Lin, considering him just a peer and noticing no significant professional gap.

But when he saw Lin Yang fully equipped with a complete set of lure gear, a subtle professional aura emerged.

"Wow, you really are professional, you have quite complete equipment!" Xiao Li couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Thanks. Shall we set off then? Yue’er, both of you put on your life jackets, and don’t forget the walkie-talkies."

"Right on!"

After Xiao Li answered, he started the boat and headed out onto the lake.

Once equipped with life jackets, Li Xiaopeng released the drone they brought, not missing the chance to livestream the opportunity.

After starting the live broadcast and waiting for a few minutes, once the live room had gathered a couple thousand people, Lin Yang greeted the camera, "Hello everyone, today is our second day at Dongting Lake. After a brief discussion last night, we decided to start boating early this morning to try some fishing in the lake...."

"Wow, the host is really awesome, actually able to fish in Dongting Lake."

"The host has official authorization. You guys better not copy him; it’s serious business if you get caught."

"That’s great; I really want to see what the fishing is like in Dongting Lake."

"Master Lin, are you only playing with lure rods today?"

Lin Yang glanced at the phone screen in Yue’er’s hand and said, "Using a pole on such a large lake surface won’t be very effective, so today we’ll mainly be fishing with lures."
