Chen Yang steered the boat to the deepest waters near the solitary island, where the sonar fish finder indicated a plentiful supply of fish.
First, he used Shrimp Brick combined with cut squid to create a bait spot, but baiting required time to wait.
Therefore, Chu Mingcheng chose to start with the Iron Plate rod first, attaching the Iron Plate Bait and knocking the bottom, to have some fun.
Although the sonar showed many fish, it was now afternoon, and while there were plenty of fish, it was uncertain whether they would take the bait.
If they didn't take the bait, then he would only have the option of fishing by force to make them land.
For his main line, Chu Mingcheng chose a number 4 PE line, with a 12-pound test carbon leader.
He threw the Iron Plate down into the water; the Iron Plate Bait sank slowly. After letting out about thirty-five meters of line, the fishing line finally stopped.
Once the Iron Plate Bait hit the bottom, it provided him with clear feedback.
