Chapter 714: Chapter 300: Bluefin Bursting Through the Water_2

Several tourists who came together also asked Lin Yang for advice on fishing.

After a whole day of fishing today, they genuinely recognized Lin Yang’s skills.

The bonfire party didn’t last long since everyone had to continue fishing the next day, so they went back to rest early.

The next morning.

It was still the same dock, the same fishing boat, and the same anglers, but the fishing boat headed in a different direction than yesterday.

Last night during the bonfire party, the guide heard from the local indigenous residents that there was a bay on a nearby island with schools of Golden Spearfish making splashes, and it even looked like they could be caught from the shore!

From September to March of the following year, it’s the breeding season for the Golden Spearfish, when they are often found frolicking in proper spawning grounds to reproduce.

This is also one of the collaborative projects between many fishing clubs and local indigenous residents, providing information on the schools of fish.

The locals are mostly engaged in primitive agricultural activities, including fishing, but there are very strict restrictions on the capture of sea products, so most of the indigenous people are only able to scrape by.

The emergence of the Global Fishing Club has brought them more opportunities to make money, providing accommodation, guides, including providing information on fish schools, and so on.

The place everyone is heading to today is a small island.

The fishing boat soon arrived at the destination, where there were indeed bursts of splashes made by fish on the sea surface, and the disturbances didn’t seem small.

It’s just unknown how those locals could be sure that it was the Golden Spearfish making those splashes, probably just used to seeing them, as they can often encounter schools of Golden Spearfish, thanks to the abundant resources within their domain.

However, after observation by the guide, he found that the location of the fish school had moved slightly outward compared to yesterday, with the closest point to the shore being at least a few hundred meters away, meaning they wouldn’t experience fishing for Golden Spearfish from the shore today.

If it were just Lin Yang, he could switch the bait to a metal jig to experience the joy of jig casting for Golden Spearfish from the shore, but everyone else probably could only sigh in envy.

So after a brief discussion, the fishing boat didn’t stay near the shore but stopped not far from where the fish school was staying.

They prepared to meet the group of Golden Spearfish properly.

It’s just unknown what species were among them, but if there were Bluefin Tuna, then that would be really thrilling.

Once the captain had anchored the fishing boat, everyone took out their fishing rods, ready to start fishing.

During the preparation time for Lin Yang and his group, Yue’er also launched the drone used for live streaming.

When the viewers saw the fishing environment here, they were also directly shocked.

"Wow, this environment is amazing, with the blue sea and sky, and there’s an island not far away."

"Indeed, the water is so clean, it feels like jelly."

"I think I see a lot of big fish swimming underwater...."

As more people came into the live chat, Lin Yang was also pondering what fishing method to use today. There are many types of lure bait, but each has different effects.

In the end, he decided to use a large-sized spinning reel with a metal jig, which is also a common combination of fishing gear for catching Golden Spearfish.

After setting up his rod and line, he aimed at a spot where fish had splashed recently, and with a whoosh, swung his rod to cast the metal jig out.

The metal jig landed close to the target area.

Next, he started jerking the rod to make the underwater metal jig move and attract the attack of the fish - this action is simply called jigging.

One, two, three pulls...

Considering that Golden Spearfish usually swim in the upper layers of the water and move quickly, Lin Yang jiggled the jig more frequently.

After all, to keep the metal jig jumping in the upper water column without sinking, he had to work it quickly.

After a series of pulls and drags, the metal jig came back to his side.

The first cast, with not a single nibble, was a failure.

But that was normal, as it could be very common to cast all day without a bite.

Meanwhile, on the boat, one of the other anglers’ rods had already bent from a fish on the line.

And judging by the bend and tremor of the rod, it seemed to be a decent-sized one, which excited Lin Yang.

Damn it, an amateur angler got a bite before he, a top fishing master, could. Can you believe it?

So, this also fully illustrated that fishing does indeed depend a lot on luck.

"Whoosh~"

Undeterred, Lin Yang cast again, and the metal jig once again landed near where the fish were splashing.

One, two, three, four... on the fourth pull, Lin Yang suddenly felt a tug on the rod, followed by a strong force pulling on it.

A fish had taken the bait!

"Whoosh~"

As soon as the fish bit, Lin Yang set the hook, an action that had become muscle memory, with his body completing the movement even before his brain could signal the command.

As he lifted the rod, the strong struggle of the fish was clearly transmitted through the line to the rod, and then to his hand.

It didn’t seem very strong, but it was full of energy.

Since the fish wasn’t very big, Lin Yang didn’t hold back, and the speed at which he operated the reel started to accelerate.
