"Swinging fish and teasing? Wouldn’t this method be a bit too conservative?" Han Mocheng asked uncertainly.

"Conservative?"

"Yeah, in my understanding, teasing is a strategy used when the fish situation is quite poor or very late in the stage.

Isn’t it a bit too early to use this when we’ve had such good fish conditions in the previous rounds?"

Han Mocheng didn’t hold back and directly expressed his thoughts.

Zhang Yang shook his head, then nodded, explaining, "Who said you only use this move in the very late stage!

In fact, evidence shows that in the current fish situation, teasing is also very effective!

Why did I consciously test this move? It’s simple, it’s directly related to the competition’s rules.

According to normal fishing strategies, attracting fish, catching bites, and smoothing out the fish situation would be more normal approaches.

But each match is only fifteen minutes long, and it’s hard to control the concentration scale for attracting fish, forcing us to consider adaptive adjustments.

Insufficient time and poor concentration of fish affect overall performance.

If the time is too long, the fish gather, but then they quickly move to another spot, benefiting opponents. It’s hard to strike a balance!

Teasing is different. The swinging bait naturally attracts the attention of surrounding fish, so even if the density in the spot is slightly lower, the teasing float still encourages fish to relax vigilance and take bold bites.

From the comprehensive combat effectiveness point of view, this teasing float biting effect is very good!"

With Zhang Yang’s explanation, Han Mocheng, who was full of questions a second ago, furrowed his brows and remained silent. It took time to digest Zhang Yang’s point, but he felt Zhang Yang was making sense.

The two had different perspectives on the competition, naturally leading to different outcomes. Zhang Yang’s analysis was quite impactful on Han Mocheng’s understanding.

"I think Brother Yang’s words are reasonable! I will follow this approach in the next matches!"

Meng Fan nodded in agreement, slightly easing the tension in the discussion about fish conditions and tactics.

"With this explanation, it seems like that’s the case. I’ve been short-sighted!" After pondering for a few seconds, Han Mocheng also admitted his flaw.

"Brother Yang, what about the bait? Should the bait formula be adjusted specifically?" Meng Fan inquired about the next crucial issue.

Zhang Yang was the one most familiar with the bait in the team. When fish conditions or fishing methods change, adjusting the bait is common practice. Knowing this, Meng Fan asked the question.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "The overall formula ratio I shared with you before has no big issues.

If the fish bites are slightly slow, just adjust the proportion of Lubricating Powder slightly, from 0.5 parts long fibers, tweaking it to 0.5 parts long fibers, and 0.5 parts short fibers for stronger hook attachment during teasing!"

"Got it, I understand!"

After a brief exchange of ideas, the strategy for the next stage of the competition was set. Meng Fan firmly remembered Zhang Yang’s detailed analysis.

When the next round starts, as long as we implement the strategy firmly, the major direction will definitely not be a problem, although attention to details is required.

At this point, one might wonder, is such a serious discussion necessary?

Han Mocheng and Liu Zi were both eliminated, how do they still have a say in the subsequent events? It’s a complete waste of time!

However, this discussion was indeed necessary. Even if only Meng Fan was still in, or even if Zhang Yang was the sole survivor, this summary process would continue.

Zhang Yang had learned everything step by step from knowing nothing. He didn’t want his team members to repeat his mistakes.

True, most of the team had been eliminated, but the upcoming competitions were still rare learning opportunities.

With case analysis, execution, and after-action reviews, the improvement for the trainee anglers was evident.

While Zhang Yang was quietly whispering and sharing various information with his team members, the other teams were also busy.

The eight who made it through were no weaklings. In a competition of 168 people, making it to the top eight means just one step away from victory. Hence, everyone took it seriously.

There was time before the next match started, and those who made it through were using technical statistical data from various channels for targeted discussions and analysis.

In several different teams, Zhang Yang, who ranked number one, was someone everyone couldn’t avoid discussing.

As an emerging force, a young angler, temporarily ranked first overall, these keywords made Zhang Yang incredibly intriguing to everyone.

After patiently studying the technical stats gathered by the TV station’s staff, everyone had a deeper understanding of Zhang Yang’s fishing skills.

The teasing tactic might not have shown much data yet, but Zhang Yang’s success rate in double-tail catches left a strong impression.

Tianyuan’s three-member team resting area.

Huang Zheng held a phone in his right hand, looking over all the technical statistics he could get repeatedly.

He had sent all this data to his mentor Deng Gang, but at that moment, Deng Gang hadn’t called back yet.

Just as he felt it was about time, Deng Gang called back.

"Mentor!"

"Xiao Zheng, I’ve finished studying the latest data statistics you sent! This angler named Zhang Yang has an exceptionally high overall fishing skill level!" On the phone, Deng Gang gave Zhang Yang a very high evaluation.
