The Top Fishing Master

Countless netizens are sighing at the glorious past here, and the rare preservation of some ancient landmarks without too many tourists.

More people are setting off immediately, because if they come late, the place will be overwhelmed by tourists.

The Huainan area has also noticed this situation and quickly convened an emergency meeting.

"A large number of tourists are probably on their way to Zhengyang Pass. Although Zhengyang Pass is a town, the actual area belonging to the ancient city is not large and may not accommodate too many tourists. This is both an opportunity and a challenge for our region, let's quickly formulate an emergency plan to welcome the tourists!"

Soon, a detailed plan was formulated to deal with the influx of tourists.

Additionally, Xia Xiaoxue also assisted on behalf of the program group by providing a detailed introduction to Huainan.

Besides Zhengyang Pass, there are many other places worth visiting here, which, thanks to her introduction, has increased everyone's understanding and curiosity about this somewhat obscure place.

This trip to Zhengyang Pass conveniently covers the entire city.

This is a great opportunity for Huainan, turning it from an unknown little place into a popular tourist city virtually overnight.

Many places with tourist resources have also become extremely lively, and many business-savvy people are seizing the opportunity to make a fortune.

Below Zhengyang Pass is an expanse of water, which, though not very bustling anymore, still offers quite a pleasing view.

The shore is lined with countryside-style reed marshes, many reaching over two meters high, fully concealing a person.

Competitors are gathered in areas without reed marshes, lining up along the riverbank.

Facing the water, with their backs against the walls of Zhengyang Pass, they find themselves flanked by endless expanses of withered, yellow reed marshes.

The scenery is very beautiful, evoking an illusion of traveling back to an ancient city pass.

Lin Yang's position is precisely at a corner adjacent to the reed marshes.

When he got his fishing spot, he couldn't help but smile as he turned to Li Xiaopeng and the others, saying.

"Looks like our competition results are secure today."

"What do you mean?"

Li Xiaopeng was a bit skeptical.

Although the competition hadn't started yet, he had great confidence in Lin Yang's skills, but Lin Yang rarely made such statements.

Lin Yang replied, "Look at our position. Among all the teams, only a few of us have fishing spots near the reed marshes, while most of the other teams are on the open water with no cover."

"In my experience, our position near the reed marshes gives us a significant advantage at this time of year."

Li Xiaopeng suddenly realized and nodded.

"This must be the famous 'fishing at the edge of vegetation.' The program group was rather considerate to allocate us spots at the edge of the marshes."

Both of them were pleased and looked forward to the competition even more.

Of course, with Lin Yang's current level, he no longer had many thoughts about competition results.

He was happy because he could once again enjoy the thrill.

And Li Xiaopeng and the others felt similarly; they didn't actually pursue competition results.

Being on the same team as Lin Yang, they had never had poor results, consistently ranking first overall, and individual event results seldom falling out of the top three.

Such consistent success fostered a carefree attitude towards competition outcomes—after all, as long as Lin Yang was there, victory was guaranteed.

Li Xiaopeng's goal was simply to make his contribution and thoroughly enjoy the competition.

Today, getting a rare spot at the marshes was a great start.

Soon, with Xia Xiaoxue's announcement, the competition began.

Competitors employed various long rods and pellets, each showcasing their skills.

Not long after the start, some teams began catching fish.

Today's competition location isn't far from the Yellow River Old Channel in Dangshan County, but the weather today was good—clear skies and stable for several days.

So the fish weren't refusing to bite, and soon, many competitors started catching fish.

Of course, the catch consisted mainly of small fish, primarily white bass.

As the competition started, many anglers began catching fish continuously.

However, the catches were mainly small fish: white bass, Mai Sui, Pangpi, Shrimp Tiger, all four notorious small nuisance fish—none were spared.

For the anglers, this was a mixed blessing.

On the plus side, catching small nuisance fish at least indicated that the fish were biting, unlike a previous event where they caught nothing, leaving them doubting their skills.

But the downside was that the small fish were swarming the area.

It should be noted that small fish never appear alone; they're always in large groups.

If the area is crowded with small fish, especially like white bass and Mai Sui, bait wouldn't even reach the bottom before these small fish snatch it, making it difficult to catch the intended target fish.

This situation can be frustrating for anglers.

Initially, everyone was happy to catch fish, even small ones, because at least they were casting their rods.

But as time went on, nearly half an hour passed, and many anglers were still frantically pulling in small fish, which started to drive them crazy.

"It's been so long, and it's still all white bass?"

"I'm going nuts. Our team of three has caught nearly a few hundred white bass in less than half an hour."
