Zhang Yang continued to answer: "Today, we're fishing properly. We've chosen bait that combines Huang Mianmian and the Three Musketeers of additives, considering fish behavior at this fishing site. We're targeting fresh fish, so the water-to-bait ratio is approximately 1:0.3, making it dry and crumbly with a strong aroma!

The bobber we're using is a date seed-shaped one with a lead load of 2.6g, adjusted to 10 marks, fishing at 3 and a half marks. We're mainly targeting bites just before they reach the bottom and right at the bottom!"

While patiently interacting and answering questions from the viewers, the fishing spot owner shouted, marking the official start of the fishing session!

Zhang Yang: "Alright brothers, the fishing has officially started. Let's get into battle mode!

Many of you have asked relatively basic questions, clearly not very familiar with pond fishing,

but that's okay. Previously, when watching videos, we couldn't interact in real time. Now, if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the live stream chat, and I'll select representative questions to explain to everyone!

Now, let's focus on the angler.

Wang Yan is quite familiar with this pond. As soon as the fishing began, he used lead to draw in fish, bringing three balls of Huang Mianmian bait to the spot!

Pay attention to this detail: the bait's landing point is slightly closer than the regular fishing spot!

The benefit of this is that after the bait reaches the bottom, the spot is relatively nearer, fresh fish are bolder, and when you lift the rod to hook the fish, it's easier to control them without a dragging effect. In the mid to late stages, it also becomes easier to catch fish further out!

I just saw someone ask how to hook the crumbly Huang Mianmian bait, so let's give you a close-up on how it's done!"

As he spoke, Zhang Yang adjusted the smartphone holder to change the camera angle, giving a live demonstration of the Triangle Cannon baiting technique.

Wang Yan quickly scooped some crumbly Huang Mianmian bait from the pot,

using three fingers below, with the thumb and small finger above, he lightly pressed a groove into the center of the bait with the thumb,

then placed the hook in the groove, coordinating the thumb and small finger's force, along with the three fingers below, to shape the bait into a Triangle Cannon form,

once one bait was done, he repeated the same process for another bait.

Once the baiting was quickly done, Wang Yan flicked his wrist, effortlessly casting the line of the 4.5m rod into the water, completing the entire baiting and casting process seamlessly!

[Wow, so the baiting scenes in previous videos weren't sped up! This speed is incredible!]

[Mind: I've learned it! Hands: No, you haven't!]

[It looks easy in the video, but it's so hard to do it myself. The bait often hits my feet when I cast!]

[One rod after another, should I lift the rod the moment the bobber is in place? This frequency is too fast, can the fish even eat the bait?]

[In our pond fishing, we usually dump half a basin of bait for layering, then put two baits down, and don't lift the rod for a long time! Brother Yan's fishing method is completely different from ours!]

Zhang Yang: "To master the baiting technique, it's all about long-term practice!

Initially, when Wang Yan was learning how to bait from me, his technique was pretty rough!

There's no shortcut here. If you want to learn, just mix some bait, take a piece of sub-line, and practice constantly in your free time.

My personal experience: watching TV shouldn't hinder the practice. After a few days, your fingers will become more flexible, forming a muscle memory habit!

Someone just mentioned the bait often hits their feet when casting. That's because your hook didn't get to the center of the bait.

Straying from the center reduces adhesion, causing the bait to fall off when casting. Try adjusting the pressure of the thumb when pressing down and find the right sensation to correct this!

Regarding the fishing method questions, I'll roughly explain here.

I call this tactic using the small Huang Mianmian crumbly bait for fishing, an offensive fishing method!

Strong, healthy fish will have a very strong appetite after entering the water, especially interested in highly aromatic, heavily vaporized bait!

The core idea of our method is to induce the fish into the spot by high-frequency casting, creating a large vapor trail underwater, attracting more fish to the spot,

Once the fish gather and start competing for food, you can begin catching them!

As long as the fish respond well, the offensive method is far more efficient than waiting endlessly after setting bait traps,

If you don't believe me, you can observe the performance of other anglers in the pond. After promoting our method for over two years, you hardly see the old method of hand-casting bait then waiting endlessly here at our local ponds, except at a few places where they charge 30 to 20 yuan for leisurely fishing!"

To validate his point, Zhang Yang panned the camera over to other anglers, almost everyone was using Huang Mianmian, and at each spot, anglers were casting at an impressive frequency.

[I've previously heard from friends who've participated in competitive fishing that catching small crucian carp requires high frequency, seems like success in pond fishing also needs high frequency!]

[All using Huang Mianmian bait, it's spectacular! In our area, anglers still use imported Marukyu fish bait!]

[Brother Yang, tell us, how long should we keep casting at this frequency? When can we expect fish? And what should we note while doing this? We have a proper fishing session this weekend, we'd like to learn and try it out!]

Zhang Yang: "The duration of high-frequency casting while using the Huang Mianmian offensive fishing method directly correlates with the fish behavior at the surrounding spot!

If you are at an edge or close to an aerator, once you sit down, you might start catching the fish after just a dozen casts!

If you're at a regular spot, you'll need to judge the fish density in the spot based on the bobbing patterns!

Here's a little tip: use the number of bites to determine the fish activity in the spot. More fish gathering means more bites and the bites will peak higher!

When I fish, if I notice constant bites about five centimeters from the bottom for several times, I'll consider starting to catch the fish!

For today's spot where Wang Yan is fishing, which is rather average, the time for casting to attract fish needs to be around 15-20 minutes. He adds a lot of additives, so the fish gather quickly!

If anyone watching the livestream wants to learn about proper pond fishing, stay tuned for the entire livestream today, and I'll explain at key moments!"

…

In the following ten minutes, Zhang Yang's earlier prediction was almost spot on. Fifteen minutes later, fish were densely gathered in the spot, and the explosive Triangle Cannon method got the fish around the area excited.

After several pre-bottom bites with crumbly bait, Wang Yan decisively switched from the Triangle Cannon to regular sticky bait.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang immediately reminded: "Viewers, pay attention, did you see Wang Yan change the bait!

The spot is densely packed with fish, and just now during two casts, there were consecutive bites during the Triangle Cannon drop, indicating a high density at the spot!

The crumbly bait has superior vaporizing ability to attract fish, but isn't as palatable as sticky bait. Once you've decided to catch fish, change the bottom hook to sticky bait. The bites will be clearer and it's less likely to miss a bite, ensuring the fish won't shake the hook off!"

As Zhang Yang explained, Wang Yan's bobber just settled when it twitched lightly, followed by a series of strong downward motions—standard motions of a fresh carp strike.

Wang Yan flicked his wrist, easily securing the hook set motion.

The next second, Wang Yan utilized the rod's leverage to steadily bring the fish to the surface, his right arm guiding the left to skillfully sling the carp out of the water. With a swift arc, it plopped into the net prepared by his left hand!

Live broadcast, the classic Flying Copy carp-catching technique!

[Wow, wow, wow! So cool!]

[Is this the Flying Copy technique? It didn't seem as impressive in the video, but seeing it live is mind-blowing!]

A viewer nicknamed Black Pit Recruit gifted a spaceship and asked, "Brother Yan, do you accept apprentices? I want to learn the Flying Copy! Once I master it, I'll be the coolest guy in my village!"

[Add one more to the learners, how much you catch may determine success, but being cool lasts a lifetime!]

…

Though we've watched the Flying Copy in videos, live streaming and video editing give completely different feelings. Wang Yan's impressive technique suddenly ignited the atmosphere in the live stream room!
