fishing

Since the boatyard opened I have not been able to fish from the dock.  I have tried several times but can never pull the line up.  Has something changed?

    When you click and hold the mouse is it below the water ? Used to be ok above waterline but now it's not.

    It's under the water and still doesn't work so I kinda gave up!

    The fishing feature has lots of bugs, for example I have received a quest that requires me to do stuff that requires me to be level 120, whilst I am only currently level 59. :neutral:

    Or another example is daily quests that require me to catch 50x Swordfish, Salmon and Herring...  which is impossible, the best I can manage is 2 herring.  I'm stuffed if I know how to get 50 of each.

    @archerbob (AU1)

    It depends on what level boats are available to you.  You will want to try to level the boats you have as high as you can based on your XP level.  

    For a level 1 motorboat you can add 1 small cooler, 2 Johns, and 1 Walter and get back 10 fish.  The higher level the boat or the better the boat, the more fish you can bring in.  You need to adjust the gear for each different boat to achieve the best possible outcome.

    Adding crew and equipment just seems to be a waste of money, they do nothing.

    I don't bother with crew or equipment except during HWEF  As I level up more with the kinds of boats I can have, that may change.

    You posted that the most you catch is 2 herring, adding crew certainly does change that!
    For the smallest boat just add 4 x John and you'll catch more fish! About 8 I think, not sure, my only small boat is out at sea at the moment :)

    It does make a big difference and the more you level up your boats and get bigger boats the more money you make.  Level up your dockyard as soon as you can to get access to better boats.  Don't waste your farm cash on the fishing equipment (poles, etc.) but do add coolers, crew members and protections.  Just some suggestions - the way you fish is really personal preference.  Good luck!

    @tkayd (US1) Are you clicking in the red area marked below & do you see the reel when you click?

    Well I have got rid of all my motorboats and am upgrading my runabouts, they seem to give more than 1 fish per go.

    As far as crew and most of the items you can add, for the most part they are a waste of time.
  • elb (GB1)elb (GB1) GB1 Posts: 100
    You will want to add more capacity, fishing time and fish caught per hour so you can catch your maximum.

    A lvl 6 Runabout with no crew or equipment will catch 12 fish
    Depending on how I equip them I catch between 65 and 75 fish with that boat
    A "waste of time" ??
  • @archerbob (AU1)
    i have to agree with Uncle John
    the money you spend for crew (add fishing time, add fish caught/hour) is more than offset by the value of your haul when your boat comes back.....
    DoctorX on international server came up with a handy calculator, if you want to take the time to use it......some info about it is here:

    Well I am stuffed how your getting 65 - 75 fish with crew, the max I have got with crew is 6, I guess I'll just call this feature bugged
  • new deep sea fishing update tomorrow 

    NO more direct selling of deep sea fish or chum so make sure any stocks you want to sell you do it today,

    this now sucks

    One Paul and two Gerald give a potential catch of 75 fish. (15 fish/hour for 5 hours)
    Load the rest of the slots with CoolBoxes for a catch of 65 or
    Load the rest of the slots with LargeFreezers for a catch of 75
    (remember that this is for a level 6 Runabout)

    I plan to save all my gear for the Fishing HWE, no matter if it is for the right boat or not....I do not want to waste loads of money to buy gear just to get stuff that I use little of and the $$ I do get from the market would probably not cover the cost of sending the boats out in the first place....So we will see how it all pans out.

    I agree, I was selling chum and other fish to afford buying expansions that now cost 15 million dollars and are going up... now I cant, so the team at GoodGameStudios do not want people to be able to play their games... unless you wanna spend real money.
