Taken The Bait

Lying on the deck, Le Wan looked down and saw shadows swimming in the water. 

"That can't be. There are so many fish here, but why didn't any of them take the bait?"

She no longer asked for bluefin tuna or grouper. She would be satisfied with any fish.

In the end, the entire boat had been fishing for almost an hour with three fishing rods, but they hadn't caught a single fry. Wasn't this a little too much?

Zhai Jing was obviously under a lot of pressure. He started to suspect that there was something wrong with the fishing rod. So he put the rod away, only to find that the feed on the hook had long disappeared.

"So it's an empty hook. No wonder no fish took the bait." 

"Put more feed on the hook this time," Le Wan encouraged. "I'm sure the fish will come to bite the hook as soon as they see it."
