I'm more curious to know why the host just flicked the tip of the rod every now and then earlier! Learning some techniques from the livestream is the real deal!]

Zhang Yang interacted with a smile, "Haha, I definitely can't share the fishing spot on the livestream, it's too complicated. If some local fishing friends want to eat fish, sending a few over is no problem!

Now, let me talk to you about the details of flicking the rod tip and teasing the fish. The water is cold in spring, and this technique is quite useful when fishing with red worms!

I've mentioned the details in previous livestreams, but just briefly, today we'll talk about it in depth.

As usual, before discussing how to do it, let's talk about the principle.

Fish are lower-level ectothermic aquatic vertebrates, and their feeding behavior is influenced by several dimensions working together.

The first dimension is the lateral line on the sides of their bodies and gill covers, which can detect vibrations and movements in the water, as well as the feeding frequency of other fish can also be sensed by them.

The second dimension is the olfactory receptors, which can sense chemical information released by substances dissolved in the water, indicating there is food around.

The third dimension is color perception. Fish are generally nearsighted but not blind, with some ability to perceive red, yellow, and green. For example, carp are very sensitive to red.

Alright, now that we've discussed these three dimensions, let's talk about the method of teasing fish itself.

Teasing fish involves moving the rod, or flicking the tip up, to make the bait on the hooks at the bottom move, thereby attracting or inducing nearby fish to launch an attack.

Unlike earthworms, red worms die quickly after their heads are pierced by the hook, so natural wriggling is difficult. By teasing a bit, we can induce relatively natural movements of the worm body, making it easy for nearby fish to attack.

Additionally, when teasing up and down, a small amount of body fluid may leak from the wound, allowing fish to sense it and follow these traces to find food.

Even when not using red worms, but regular commercial bait, a similar effect can be achieved. Moving the bait ball causes surface powder to fall off, stimulating the fish's receptors, and likewise increases the chances of enticing fish to bite.

Having covered the basic principles, let's talk about how the operation should be done properly!

First point, the movement amplitude should not be too large.

Exaggerated violent movements not only fail to attract fish, but might scare them, inducing a stress response and making them flee, which is counterproductive!

Second point, I don't recommend dragging the rod backward for the teasing float, as it's hard to control the amplitude of double bait movement this way.

Sometimes the rod moves but the bait does not, failing to achieve the teasing effect!

Other times, too much force might shake off the bait on the hooks!

The correct and effective teasing float technique is to gently lift the rod tip upward, causing the entire rig to move upward about five to eight centimeters, with the bait showing slight movements underwater, which is best!

Just like this!"

While speaking, Zhang Yang pinched the rod handle with his right hand and gently flicked upward, causing the bobber count to rise and quickly returned to the normal float.

During this live demonstration, the fish underwater cooperated well, the float had just stabilized itself for less than a second, and suddenly there was another little nibble.

Zhang Yang decisively raised the rod, and there was another catch!

[Oh my god, is this going to be a continuous catch?]

[What the heck? Didn't he just catch a fish earlier? Another one!]

[This live teaching is too hardcore. Explaining it well is one thing, but the brothers hooking fish underwater also cooperated excellently! They really took the bait!]

[Hahaha! Kudos to the brothers hooking fish underwater!]

[Kudos to the brothers hooking fish underwater +1]

...

The livestream room is never short of talent, quick jokes like these are immediately recognizable, triggering other friends to resonate and follow along, creating a pretty good atmosphere.

Having caught three fish in a short time, Zhang Yang also noticed that the fish activity tonight was different from yesterday, there were no brothers from next door competing for fish. Zhang Yang's livestream today was notably more aggressive in terms of fish bites.

But since it's a livestream, why would he mind the increased fish activity? The more fish bites, the better!

Thinking about this, Zhang Yang slid the cover of the magnetic disk on the food box to the side, revealing the prepared small feed bombs beneath.

"Broadcast brothers, with fish bites being strong, let's increase the firepower, give it a little feed bomb boost!"

Zhang Yang continued to chat while pinching a small feed bomb at the hook handle, stretching out to cast the rig back into the water again.

[In such cold water temperature for night fishing, does throwing feed bombs work too?]

[Zhang is treating wild fishing like pond fishing, isn't he?]

[Just curious, what's in the feed bomb formula? I might try a bit next time!]

Zhang Yang shifted the camera to give everyone a quick look at the feed bomb in the food box, explaining, "This feed bomb is actually quite simple, a bit of light bran, some homemade Chinese medicinal rice for making wine, and a portion of high-purity shrimp powder!

In this spring season, wild carp tend to eat less, so high-protein ingredients mixed in the feed bomb work more effectively.

Regarding rice for making wine, those who've watched me fish for a while already know its effect, so I won't elaborate on it!"

[I've been using Zhang's secret mystical rice for ages; it's always been top-notch!]

[Which brand of high-purity shrimp powder do you use? This stuff seems expensive!]

[Japan's Marukyu shrimp powder is good, but it's pricey!]

...

Right when Zhang Yang was livestreaming and chatting with water friends while casting the rod to fish, elsewhere, a friend of Lang Junfeng named Xiao Guo was lying on his living room couch, playing with his phone and scrolling through short videos.

Suddenly, he came across Zhang Yang's livestream room, coincidentally seeing Zhang Yang in the video holding a big carp proudly showing off to his water friends.

Xiao Guo only glanced at the big carp, and his eyes couldn't look away, he stared at the livestream room for quite a while before reacting. Hastily, he called Lang Junfeng.

At the same time, Lang was having an unusually early rest, tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.

At this moment, the phone rang.

Lang picked it up, saw it was Xiao Guo calling, and answered casually.

"Hey? It's pretty late now, what's up Xiao Guo?"

"Boss Lang, Zhang Yang is livestreaming now, I just scrolled through Douyin and found his livestream room! He caught a one-pound-plus big carp during night fishing, you should come check it out!"

"What? Where is it? Let me take a look!" Upon hearing Xiao Guo's words, Lang Junfeng immediately became energized, quickly sitting up from bed.

"I've shared the livestream room with you on WeChat, open it yourself! You've seen many places; help us identify where this is exactly, so we can go play there later!" Xiao Guo said with an itch he couldn't resist.

"Alright, I'll take a look and let you know! Hanging up now!"

After ending the call, Lang eagerly entered Zhang Yang's livestream room, patiently observing.

Throughout the livestream room footage, most of the time, it's just three circles of light on the water surface, the bobber close enough to see fish nibble clearly during bites.

But the surrounding environment and general terrain are hardly visible.

Lang had a bright idea, logging into his wife's account to also come into the livestream room, and sent ten bottles of beer!

Beer costs one yuan per glass, and ten glasses cost Lang ten yuan to recharge, yet he didn't mind at all. With a quick thought, he started writing in public comment.

"These fish seem wild, but with such quick fish activity, what's the density? Host, dare you glance at the surrounding environment? I seriously suspect you're in a high-density wild fish pond for the livestream!"

Moments ago, having just sent ten glasses of beer, Zhang Yang was preparing to thank the donation politely when immediately spotting Lang's public comment questioning.

Zhang Yang smiled, not falling for it, "You say it is, so it must be! What I want is the livestream effect; I'm not bragging about bait or advertising any fishing additives, so does it matter where I'm fishing?

This debate leads nowhere with me!"

What a joke, Zhang Yang isn't some rookie streamer who knows nothing—this little trick or provocation won't affect Zhang Yang's state? Not a chance!

Seeing Zhang Yang not taking the bait, Lang felt a little anxious, scratching his head in irritation, pondering.

How can I see the surrounding environment clearly? Damn, I bet the fish caught during the day were all from the same place!
