    I have the following fishing gear:

    Reed pole
    Small minnow hook
    Thick monofilament line
    Low profile reed

    It I buy sturgeon bait, use it to catch the fish and then sell the fish would I be able to make a profit? I can't use them in the mermaid bay yet. My bucket is also fully upgraded.

    Thanks, I've been fishing and earned about 800000 dollars in ~50 minutes. Very good method.  :)
  • Not exactly sure where to post this question, but this seems to be the go to topic for fishing knowledge. Sorry if it's in the wrong place.

    I've just recently started fishing, have finally gotten to level 15, and can rent the boats. How long does the boat rental last for? 30mins like the farm pools or until you fill your bucket? I realised the hard way that if you close the fishing window it locks you out until the boat time in the second slot cools down. I don't want to accidentally waste my bait again. :s
  • I give up can not stand to catch 1 more fish.  So sick of looking at Sturgeon

    Here is the next level

    If you use the boat and use the "Go Fishing" option (which lets you fish manually), a 1-hour timer starts and  lasts until you fill up your bucket or close the fishing window.  You're then locked out from using the boat for the remainder of that hour.

    If you use the "Send Oleg" option, he will go out and fish on his own for 1 hour, and come back with up to 2,000 fish, depending on which boat you (randomly) get and where you send it.  You can find a chart here that tells you the best places to fish with each boat (using "Send Oleg"):

    FWIW, if you use the boat, it's better to send it out for an hour than it is to fish manually using the "Go Fishing" option.

    Don't think I could be bothered with the fish swimming away so fast, can only do 100 per 30 mins now compared to 170 and I am losing $$ due to them swimming away so fast.  4mins 30secs is not long enough for them before swimming away.  This started when CC countdown started and I have a feeling it will fix itself when CC finishes, by then I will have totally given up. @Southern (US1)
  • CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)CrazyBigfarm55 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,226
    You can not give up now @Byron Longford (AU1), you are so close. Give it a few days rest until the CC ends, then try again. 
  • Southern (US1)Southern (US1) US1 Posts: 3,268
    Agreed, don't give up now @Byron Longford (AU1), you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. :sunglasses:
  • Hi Fellow Farmers.
    I am very keen to continue with fishing, but I reached level 19 about 8 weeks ago, and since then I have been unable to advance, despite trying many different tactics.
    Can any of you suggest what I should I do to level up? Is there a specific fish to catch or should I just send Oleg off to earn XP?
    Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
  • Best fish for FXP is Sturgeon and I only send Oleg for FXP, nothing else. 
  • Finally made it to level 61 on fishing. Just started sushi plate so will now have to wait 8hrs to find out how much seaweed we get from it.  My Mermaid bay is level 5 I will increase to level 6 ( next couple of days) to see if that effects the amount of seaweed given.

    One question........ what took u so long??  No i'm kidding, well done!

    Curious how much seaweed product u get from restaurant dish though? I'm still miles away from that point, work makes it difficult to get any decent fishing time on the game.
  • Congratulations! Fishing seems like too much work for me. I'm still level 15. :( I can't seem to convince myself to do it.

    Congratulation Bryon! We knew you could do it!

    Byron! Byron! Byron!



    {Edit: Just as a note, CBF says 1-3 seaweed per 8-Hour Sushi plate. Meaning you might have to make 50, 60 or even more Sushi Plates (at 8... hours... each...) just to get enough seaweed to make 10 Seaweed Feed. Yeah. I know. I agree. Let's hope they "adjust" that.}
  • gizmo22 (AU1)gizmo22 (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,720
    Really Southern??? That definetely needs adjustment sooner rather than later
  • Way to go, Byron!!   :D
  • Next target level 78 hopefully other recipes will give more seaweed

    If I ever get started on fishing, I will be at your door begging for tips.  Bravo!!  Good on you!!
  • Congrats @Byron Longford (AU1) for reaching level 61!! Good luck on your next goal to reach level 78. :)
  • CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)CrazyBigfarm55 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,226
    Congratulations @Byron Longford (AU1)!! Good luck on making it to level 78.

    Yes @Southern (US1) is right about the seaweed drops from Mermaid Bay. A player on the DU1 server named none sent an e-mail for me to post some info for everyone. He was wondering if the drops were any better on our server. I told him the only one I knew of that was even close was you and at that time you were level 58 so please let us know if you get more than 1 - 3 seaweed each batch.

    Even if you get a few more it will still take a long time before you can make anything seaweed. You need 117 seaweed just to make 10 seaweed feed :(

    none also said that the extra fish that you get from running the Amphibian will not grant extra FXP, just extra fish each catch.

    Awesome for you @Byron Longford (AU1) one of our fishing gurus :) Well done!

    Adjustment? Don't you mean library boosts? ;)

    Congratulations Bryon! New you could do it. You'll be 78 before long. :)
  • I have now done 2 lots of Sushi and both gave 3 seaweed.
  • garybaldy (GB1)garybaldy (GB1) GB1 Posts: 502
    On the plus side , you can make seaweed feed with only 13 seaweed....

    on the minus side you need a level 100 laboratory  ...its gonna take a while lol.
  • Only got to upgrade lavatory 89 more times..lol

    You can make Seaweed feed with a level 11 laboratory and you need 117 seaweed @garybaldy (GB1)
