Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King

Chapter 670 387: Next to the King of Fishing

Zhang Yang teased Han Mocheng for a while, and soon everyone else finished calculating scores and prepared to leave, ending today's competition.

The two-day carnival schedule was quite full. After the competition was over during the day, at night Liu Xingyun and his team arranged a planned BBQ, with Zhang Yang bringing in professional mobile roast lamb chefs, and there were songs and dances among a series of other activities.

Carnivals, you see, are not just about fishing competitions; eating, drinking, mingling to forge connections, and socializing are also essential.

The venue at Zhang Yang Reservoir was spacious, with designated areas, so the end of the competition was not the end of the day, but rather a new beginning.

Once the area was cleared, anglers and judges were given a brief free activity time.

Just as the evening fell dark, the large-scale bonfire party kicked off with a lively atmosphere; the various atmosphere groups arranged by Old Zhao and singing girls started to rally. On the gigantic grill, more than ten whole lambs were roasting at once, and the beer and drinks were in abundance, as a fully loaded van carrying drinks for the bonfire party drove in.

As a local bigwig, Zhang Yang tried to keep a low profile but was still pushed out by a bunch of signed anchors from his own MCN company. He sang a few songs with YOYO and Xiao Wei and made rounds to toast people, ensuring the atmosphere was lively.

The bonfire party went on from after seven o'clock until ten-thirty, ending with a sense of anticipation for more. By the time everyone had left the fishing base and cleaned up the area completely, it was almost midnight.

Zhang Yang had quite a bit to drink but was still in good spirits, keeping an eye on the staff to ensure everything was handled before leaving with Liu Zi to lock up.

The next morning, Zhang Yang was woken up by his phone alarm after barely four hours of sleep.

Having wielded the seven-point-two meter rod all day, and drank quite a lot at night, Zhang Yang woke up with sore arms and a fuzzy head from the alcohol.

Zhang Yang got dressed, slipped into his slippers, and headed to the bathroom. A cold shower made him feel much more awake.

He glanced at his phone, seeing a flurry of messages on WeChat, at least over ten messages from different people with insignificant content. Zhang Yang just skimmed through and set the phone down.

At five-thirty in the morning, Zhang Yang drove to the event venue ahead of time.

Just like yesterday, as the person responsible for the event, Zhang Yang knew he had to be present whenever possible. Thanks to the experience from the first day, the anglers participating today were quite compliant, making it much easier for the staff providing services.

By around six o'clock, people started arriving again, and Han Mocheng along with Wang Yan quickly found Zhang Yang.

"Boss, today is the weight tournament! Is there anything to add to our plans from before?" Han Mocheng approached with a grin.

Zhang Yang scowled without much enthusiasm. With anyone else asking, Zhang Yang would remain unaffected, but Han Mocheng always went off-script, which made Zhang Yang a bit exasperated.

"Why don't you continue with yesterday's tactics? Floating fishing seems okay to me!" Zhang Yang joked with a laugh.

"Come on, serious business here, no kidding! There's still a chance to win prize money, I'm definitely not messing around today!" Han Mocheng knew Zhang Yang was using the opportunity to give him a nudge, so his tone softened a bit.

"Yesterday, everyone caught hundreds of kilos, so likely most of the recently stocked fish have been hooked. Today, when fishing again, use finer line sets.

Also, pay attention to carp and other big fish! The small fish may not bite anymore, so there might be a surge where big fish start coming in.

Use bait moderately and adjust frequency, and replenish the fishing area! As for bait, no need to say, whatever we use during live streams here at the reservoir, use that as the base!"

"Old Tan?" Wang Yan asked, interrupting.

Old Tan corn and Old Tan mixed grains are the most used bait at Zhang Yang Company for wild fishing and lake reservoir baiting. Since Zhang Yang mentioned using what was used before, Wang Yan was uncertain.

Because for carp fishing, Old Tan might seem a bit early for this season. Originally, Wang Yan planned to use yellow meal mixed with wet scattered bait and shooting bait.

Zhang Yang nodded: "Old Tan mixed grains will do, and crush them too!"

"What the heck? Crush what? Crush Old Tan?" Everyone was taken aback hearing this.

What Zhang Yang mentioned about using a grinder to crush was completely foreign to them.

Without saying a word, Zhang Yang led them to the prefab used for storing live stream equipment.

Inside, Zhang Yang found a steel grinder at the bottom of a cabinet, opened a box of Old Tan corn bait, and began crushing it in front of everyone.

Steel grinders are usually used in fishing gear shops for crushing pellet powder. Using it to crush semi-dry Old Tan corn and Old Tan mixed grains was indeed a first-time affair.

Zhang Yang kept crushing the old tan corn while explaining: "Puffed yellow meal has higher animal protein content and fats; it atomizes easily and attracts small fish.

Adding half-crushed Old Tan corn to the yellow meal to lower the protein content helps significantly. Crushed corn particles also maintain the area.

Moreover, old fish in the reservoir are quite fond of the naturally fermented taste of Old Tan corn, which makes wet scattered baiting effective as well! Luckily Han Mocheng asked, otherwise I nearly forgot!"
