While he was talking, Lin Yang had already wound about fifty meters of PE line onto the reel, and after a quick fine-tuning, he tied a lure to the front end. The fishing gear was now assembled.
"I'm not sure about the underwater situation, so I need to be a bit conservative. I'll first remove the treble hooks from the lure, and then cast a few times with an empty rod to find the bottom before making a decision," he said.
After he finished speaking, he removed the treble hooks, adopted the standard casting stance, and swung the fishing rod, shouting, "Off you go!"
The lure, trailing the fishing line, drew a silver arc through the air and landed effortlessly about thirty meters out on the water.
Lin Yang tried to tighten the line, his right hand resting on the rod, carefully sensing the subtle touches as the lure sank to the bottom.
