Through a series of bottom-finding operations, Zhang Yang discovered that the water depth at the 4.5-meter rod platform on this side of the reservoir was approximately 2.34 meters.
In Zhang Yang's view, this depth was slightly deep, making it difficult to warm up. However, considering that the area around the fishing spot was relatively flat without obvious steep slopes, he decided to set the fishing position there.
There was no one within ten meters nearby, so Zhang Yang, feeling a bit reckless, threw a bomb manually with the bait mixture of mud and rice for making wine into the pond. He placed the rod on the rack and started chatting with Xiao Yi.
During his stroll, he had already asked around. Others had started baiting an hour and a half before, yet no fish had appeared. The water was cold in the spring, making the baiting slower. Zhang Yang was mentally prepared; it was now 7:30, so waiting at least an hour for a nibble was reasonable.
