"How on earth do you fish? I've seen you fussing around, prepping bait and adding additives for so long! What's the secret? Share with everyone!" Xiao Hui asked with a look of curiosity.
Zhang Yang nodded: "It's actually quite simple, wasn't Brother Yan just calling his friend to ask about ice fishing?
The call mentioned catching big fish using dry sour dates as bait, and that's when it clicked for me!
Look at this reservoir, it runs north to south, with wild, low shrubs on the east and west sides. The soil on the mountain crest is so barren that even weeds hardly grow, and the banks are mostly geological rock formations, making the water very lean!
With lean water, there's naturally little for the fish to eat. Check out this crucian carp; outside in the big river, it might weigh one and a half pounds, but here, at most just one pound and two ounces!
Did anyone notice the detail that there are sour date trees scattered along the shore?
