Fishing Event

Am I missing something? I had an announcement to say there was a fishing hardworker event starting today, but where on earth is it? It isn't with the other events.

I have missed two wedding planner events for the same reason. Where are these things?

    The Wedding Planner only appears in the Flower Farm carpark (not in all 3 like weekly events etc)
    I can't help with the FHWE, it's on all my carparks and my fishing region as usual
  • I've never understood the Fishing Region. Apart from the original part when you had to donate stuff to Oleg for his fishing rod there have never been any tasks like there are in the other regions. There isn't even anything there if you go to the FR, just an empty jetty.

    Most folks get stuck on a couple of the tasks to open up their fishing regions as some of the tasks are not found on the Flower Farm(FF) as most would expect. Plus there are 2 sets of tasks to get into the fishing region then there are tasks for that.
    The first set of tasks - start here

    Then theses

    finally these

    I strongly suggest you take a few minutes and have a good read through this site

  • No good. It looks wonderfully easy on the video but I just can't catch anything. No matter what I do the line always runs out. So I guess I'll just have to stick to growing things on the farm.

    @FarmerTeresa (GB1) Hand fishing is an art but once mastered you will conquer the tasks. The most important thing is to watch the line break meter. With your left mouse button reel in the fish and as the meter gets to the middle let the button go. The meter will go back down then reel in again, repeat this action until you haul the fish out. The fish tires out and gets easier to reel in. You will soon find a happy balance.
  • I do watch the meter. If it gets to red I let go, and the fish swims back off to the far end of the pool. I never get near to hauling it in because eventually the line runs out.

    1/ I'd let go a little before the red
    2/ Only let go for a moment, like a click in reverse. You'll see the meter drop back almost immediately, not all the way but it will be far enough to allow you to reel in some more and then repeat

    Once you get use to "playing" the fish then self fishing becomes a lot easier.
    First be sure you have all the necessary equipment loaded into your tackle box - rod reel line hooks - bait if you're after some thing specific. Work up to the second best items for the rod reel & line just use the cheap small minnow hooks as it does take a hook per fish to catch.
     This is how it was explained to me & seemed to work well for me & I hope for you as well ;)
    Cast your line - be sure your reel is under the water line
     - once a fish bits hold down your left mouse button & watch the meter - top left
     - DO NOT let it go into the red or your line will snap/break - as the fish tries to swim away - tap your mouse button instead of just holding it down
     - again keep an eye on the meter if it gets close to the red - then go back to tapping your mouse button
     - repeat until fish is caught 
  • I've done all that. The time always runs out long before the fish is caught. I think that video is a fix. The fish practically jumps into the bucket every time. In reality it hardly moves and if it starts to reel in the line goes red and you have to let it go again. 

    I'm getting fed up with this game. The fishing is impossible and now they've messed about with the horse ranch so no-one can understand what to do any longer. And they've taken away one of my horses. Plus the dream thing used to last more than a week but now it's hardly worth bothering with.

    Whoever is changing everything around isn't doing the game any favours.

    @FarmerTeresa (GB1) When you start out with the fishing mini-game, you only have access to the fishing line that is a piece of string & that is why it is so difficult & it snaps so easily, if you can get as far as unlocking a better fishing line, it will start to get MUCH easier & once you can buy all the best equipment, it is a breeze. One thing that may help is to stick to catching the fish that are right at the top near the surface, if there are none, close the window and reopen it & there should be some up there. When the line goes red it is a warning, but you can keep tapping the reel a bit, so long as you watch the needle on the meter, as it moves very fast when the line is red. You just need to keep the fish from diving down to the bottom & as soon as the line is green again you can go for it. After you have completed all of Oleg's tasks & unlocked the Deepsea Fishing Region, you never have to do the minigame again (except for goldfish) if you don`t want to. :)

    What do you mean by "They have taken away one of my horses"? ....Did you breed them?

    Great tip @WascallyWabbit but honestly one only needs the second best equipment for your rod, reel & line - the cheap small minnow hooks are good enough for most self fishing folks do, as it does cost 1 hook per fish caught even if it get away ;)
  • Yes @WascallyWabbit I bred the horses twice as the game suggested I should. I had two horses that were doing very well, but now I only have one again and I really don't understand the new arrangement at all. I'm not the only one, a couple of other people in the cooperative - the very active ones who've been there longest too - have both said they aren't going to bother with the horse ranch any longer as it's been over complicated. 

    By the way, I now know how to do the fishing but I still can't do it. I've tried the tapping on the mouse thing so it keeps the line from going red. I've tried fast taps and slow taps. I've tried giving it a good hard tug if it looks likes it's tiring. I've tried going for the fish at the top. I've no idea how you stop them diving to the bottom, mine do it all the time including when I'm reeling the line in. The thing is, I can now stop the line snapping but I still can't catch the fish because the timer eventually runs out.
