After finalizing the laser cannon business, everyone decided not to leave early. They stayed at Zhang Yang's shop until after six in the evening. The buddies who were going to make the DIY laser cannon called, saying that six high-powered night fishing lights were ready.

Being the kind of place that the auto parts city is, gathering some electrical components is almost like child's play. In less than two hours, it was all set.

Upon hearing the content of the call, no one could sit still; they drove two cars straight to the auto parts city's store.

When they arrived at the store in the auto parts city, all the large and small part boxes had been checked off. The main components, including lamp heads, batteries, circuit boards, tripod stands, and compatible chargers, were all there, and they quickly assembled them on-site.

A few minutes later, the DIY guy pressed an external switch, and the large lamp head mounted on the tripod's grid mount emitted a strong and bright warm yellow beam.

"Whoa, it's so bright!" Liu Zi, seeing the beam for the first time, couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

Zhang Yang grinned, turned his head, and asked, "How long can the lamp last on a full charge? Does it have a cooling fan?"

Hearing Zhang Yang's professional question, the seller was a bit surprised and explained, "The lamp head has a high wattage, so it doesn't last very long. At full load, it can last about three hours before dimming rapidly. If you want longer battery life, you can replace it with an additional matching battery!

As for the cooling fan, it's necessary for long-term use, but this season, it's basically not needed; natural cooling can solve most of the issues!

The parts are all assembled, and theoretically, there's no issue with the calculations, but I can't guarantee there won't be problems in actual use. Since you're introduced by Old Zhao, feel free to contact me if any issues arise; we are responsible for this for a year!"

Since the conversation had reached this point, Zhang Yang didn't linger and cheerfully shook hands with the other party and settled the outstanding balance.

Like a group of big guys who had just bought an exciting new toy, they happily loaded the stuff onto the car and drove away.

Thinking about night fishing from six to eight o'clock after water draws, everyone was more conservative with dinner. They opened a bottle of Erguotou for the six of them, each symbolically taking a small cup. The restaurant chef's Yellow River carp was delicious, with chewy and bouncy meat, truly worthy of its high price as river seafood.

One big carp was wiped out before the meal was even finished by this group of guys, leaving not even a fish head intact.

After eating and drinking their fill, they returned to the shop, drank tea, and chatted lazily until the new battery was almost fully charged, and it was the end of the time for water drawing, so everyone got in the car again to head to the fishing spot from earlier in the day.

When they arrived, the captain who had the small gate key to the water pumping station during the day had already driven ahead to wait here.

Meng Fan didn't exchange pleasantries with the man, but took the key, stuffed two hard-box Zhonghua cigarettes into the passenger seat, and the other party quickly drove away.

"Let's go, we've got the key! Let's get started!"

Meng Fan raised the key in his hand, quickly unlocked the lock on the small gate, and everyone carried their gear to the sluice gate.

Six high-power DIY laser cannons were lined up, and everyone quickly completed the preparations, brandishing their fishing rods to start the night fishing attempt.

It was freezing on a early spring night, so describing it as cold enough to freeze one's breath into ice isn't exaggerating, with outdoor temperatures barely above a few degrees, and the water temperature at the sluice was equally low, the water used for washing hands was ice-cold to the touch.

"Whew... the water is so cold! Who knows if there's even a bite!"

Wang Yan attached fresh red worms to the double hooks, flicked his wrist, and cast them into the water. Then his next move was to shove both hands into the big pockets of his down jacket, pulling down his beanie, wrapping himself tightly.

Zhang Yang did almost the same, but he had the foresight to bring a pair of winter cotton mittens from the shop when he went out!

"Let's try separately at first, and summarize the fishing situation if there's any movement! What line sets are you guys using? Don't use anything too thick in this cold, they won't take it!" Zhang Yang mumbled.

"Of course, main line 0.4, sub line 0.2, size 3 thin ground sleeve! I've swapped out the fine fishing set for tailed fish!" Meng Fan grinned.

"It's still not warm enough clothing; I didn't feel so cold during the day, but at night, it feels chilly down there!" Han Qiang also tucked his hands into his cuffs, patiently waiting.

Night fishing at this time of year was already quite an arduous choice, and nobody had experience, so they could only explore step by step.

After about ten minutes of fishing with the big lamps, the expected frantic bites never came. The water surface without wind was like a mirror, with six high-brightness light spots stretching across like a string of candied hawthorn.

After half an hour with no action, everyone's initial enthusiasm was mostly worn down. Everyone, shivering in the cold, started warming their hands on the lamp heads, even the frequency of changing red worms slowing unbeknownst to them.

Just as everyone contemplated calling it quits, Zhang Yang persisted, reasoning that with light and water flow, the fish shoals would certainly come upstream and gather near the sluice gate.

Carp do feed in this water temperature, so theoretically, they should be able to catch a few even if not constantly biting.

After all, even now, it couldn't be colder than under the ice layer in winter.

With this understanding of wild carp habits, Zhang Yang continued various attempts.

Using very fine line sets and very precise bobber adjustments, he feared overlooking a fish bite because of a small detail.

While Zhang Yang was continuously trying different splendid detections to find the carp's biting point, Liu Zi, who was the first to catch fish in the morning, was again the first to get a catch!

"Got a bite, caught a fish!" Liu Zi whispered excitedly, gently arching the fishing rod with his right hand, pulling the fish out of the laser lamp's light spot.

"How was the bite?" Zhang Yang asked with his mouth open.

"Just a tiny little move like a small black spot on the big canopy bobber, I even thought I was seeing things! But I got a hit when I lifted the rod!" Liu Zi replied.

"Big canopy bobber? Damn, I totally forgot about that!" Upon hearing those three words, Zhang Yang couldn't help blurting out an expletive and immediately pulled his fishing rod out of the water.

A big canopy bobber, as the name suggests, is used for extremely fine setups in winter to catch small carps in a greenhouse.

With extremely low water temperatures and sluggish small carp in winter greenhouses, there are exacting requirements on the fineness of the setup and the bobber.

Put it this way, main line 0.2#, 0.3#, sub line 0.15#, even 0.08#, bobber load 0.7g, you've got to carry a small file for float trimming.

It's safe to say, to get more bites while fishing, these guys have honed their fishing rigs to perfection.

Liu Zi and Meng Fan spent the entire winter in the greenhouse last year. Unexpectedly, Liu Zi was so bold to use his best tiny set and bobber for night fishing today directly.

Very soon Zhang Yang fished out the smallest competitive float he had from the bobber box, a 0.6g lead with a short foot long tail slender body, only used in the harshest fishing conditions.

Once the bobber was changed, naturally, the line set had to be minimized, and after another flurry of activity, Zhang Yang re-hung red worms for a new round of attempts.

The setup's fineness had been maximized, yet Zhang Yang still didn't see any fish bites.

Meanwhile, a few people away, almost in the middle of the six was Liu Zi, who had already caught his third fish!

"Damn it, Liu Zi, did you secretly use some special weapon? Everyone swapped to thin lines and small floats; why do they only take your hook, and we're seeing no action? Are your red worms imported or what?"

Han Qiang, at the very end, with no bites, couldn't help but complain.

"Hehe, how would I know why! The red worms are from Yang's shop! They just like my hook, what can I do!" Liu Zi scratched his head, responding naively.

In the next half hour, Liu Zi caught at least seven or eight large carps, and Meng Fan, next to him, reeled in four or five.

In contrast, others like Zhang Yang saw no bites.

"What's going on, boss? Meng Fan and Liu Zi have bites; why aren't we catching anything! The lamps have the same brightness!" Wang Yan couldn't help but grumble.

Upon hearing Wang Yan saying the lamps have the same brightness, Zhang Yang slapped his forehead, immediately realizing the reason.

"I know why!"
