No fish were being caught, and Chu Mingcheng noticed no Groupers, so he thought maybe it was because of the bait; switching to live Squid or Mackerel might be a lot better.
Secondly, the water layer may also play a significant role, as some anglers target midwater fish.
Therefore, even for deep sea fish, it wouldn't be strange for them to leave the bottom layer in search of abundant food—perhaps they had moved to the midwater areas?
Chu Mingcheng decided to try changing the water layer first, and if that didn't work, he'd switch the bait.
He wasn't sure if changing the water layer would result in catching fish, so he didn't tell Jiang Yuqi for the time being; he'd let her know after he'd given it a try.
Chu Mingcheng reeled in his line and tried fishing for midwater fish.
Just as the bait reached the middle layer and he had pressed the pause button for a second, the tip of the rod trembled, and to his surprise, he indeed hooked a fish.
