章 45: Chapter 45: Hooked the Blue Star

After prying off a small bag of mussels, he had enough bait for the day and brought it back to place beside the Shrimp Brick.

Using the baiting spoon, he pressed on the Shrimp Brick, which had mostly dissolved by now, and then scooped up three spoonfuls and tossed them into the water ahead.

Then Chu Mingcheng took out his own No. 3 rock fishing rod, initially purchased for fishing on the rocks, so he went for a 5.4-meter one.

A 3000 model spinning reel, 3+2 line set up, teamed with a No. 2 Qianyou hook.

He took a mussel, opened it with a dagger, and since the mussel was not large, he used the dagger to vertically slice it into two halves. Picking up the mussel meat, he hung it on the fish hook, leaving just a bit of the hook's point exposed.

Then he cast the fish hook toward the spot where he had baited, and it quickly sank to the bottom along with the lead sinker.

It was now high tide, and the waves continuously crashed against the rocks with a "whoosh" and "roar".
