    The only way I've found to get them to the surface is to reel them up there... catfish are essentially 'bottom dwellers' in real life, so perhaps their position in the fishing game is designed to reflect that. It does mean that you may end up losing a few hooks and lines to get at them though!  Good luck :smile:

    Was just asking because of all the bugs with fishing. I was not sure if it was going to be like the main farm where you always had a task to complete and once you did a new one would come.

    @WascallyWabbit

    The catfish can be found on your Main and Gourmet farms ;)

    I agree with @amandaps (INT1) and @Jiesta (NL1) 

    There's nothing wrong with voicing your complaints/concerns but it would be helpful to the developers if players could provide more information about the problems they are having. Instead of saying "I can't fish so I'm going to quit or not buy gold" how about giving more information about what's going on so that the devs can reproduce the problem & work towards getting it fixed. If you see a bug in the game, take note of what you were doing leading up to the bug & make screenshots if possible. The more detailed information the devs can get, the easier it will be for them to reproduce the bug & fix it. 

    As for the test server, we were all warned there would be bugs, game crashes, possibility of accounts being reset/deleted, etc. It is your choice to play on the test server or not. GGS is not forcing anyone to be their "guinea pigs". The players were not ignored when reporting bugs on the test forum. Many bugs were fixed. No, they didn't get them all fixed but maybe they don't have enough information to reproduce the bug or some bugs are more complicated than others. ;)
    This is my main issue: The test server and forum are there to fix problems before introducing features to the live game.

    I can't think of one problem that was identified on the test server that was fixed before the fishing feature was added to the regular servers, but perhaps some features were fixed as you say. In any case, on the test server we identified what's not working and described in great detail the issues, as well as provided screen shots. They put the game on the live servers with many of the same problems and more. Now you expect us to be calm and describe the problems again. Saying that some problems they didn't have enough information to fix, or that the problems were too complicated is ridiculous. The test server is there to fix those problems. No one playing on the test server would have minded if there were problems on the test server for months if the problems were resolved  before it went live.

    Thank you CrazyBigFarm for compiling the fishing tutorial; it has been a big help to me.   So far, enjoying the fishing game even with the glitches that the game developers will work out.    Looking forward to eventually reaching level 15 to rent a boat.  Happy Fishing to you.

    you have no idea what you are wishing for that boat is a big drain of money and full of bugs also like you pay all the money but can only get one fish cause you got the invisible line and have to go out and fish trip over

    @Damaria3 (US1)  Instead of fishing yourself, let Oleg do it, depending on the size of your bucket he comes back with tons of fish which I posted earlier in this same thread, I believe.  By doing that, you make a nice profit every time you rent a boat.

    I did a support ticket on this a few days ago, since I've been stuck ever since and was told they are aware and are trying to find the solution and get it resolved as quickly as possible.

    well,not on my farms ....only bass and carp on Main and Gourmet farms (bass & carp are notably fresh water fish, just like catfish, at least the ones you can eat,
    so you would expect to catch them in the rivers)...i got a quest to find catfish, the "info" says i should take out the boat to find them, i'm fishing level 10, boat doesn't work yet......and PS, i can use the boat at level 15???  is that right????

    please tell me again how to find catfish???

    I bought all the equipment and fish, I can not fish, no rope !!! WHY ??? Explain !!! Spend all the money.....robbery !!!
  • I reached the fishinglevel 15!! Yeah!! I rented a boat to go fishing catfish--->1 catfish caught--->"invisible line" bug---> have to close the minigame window--->bye bye boat--->losing the boat and 67 000 dollars, next boat in 2 hours.

    I have finished the whole fishing, support just tells me to "update my flashplayer". It is up to date:)) I will wait and see if this fishing thing ever comes playable:))

    And yes, I have sent screenshots and even and video for GGS, still they don't understand "what really is my problem?".

    Oleg can only fish for certain types of fish to begin with.

    I just got a catfish task and it says to use the boat to get to their locations. What boat?
    I thought the ferry boat below where Oleg is but that no longer lights up or does anything when you scroll over or click it.

    i'm up to this one and i can't find any catfish. are they hidden? is there something special you have to do?
  • WOW there are a ton of problems to report!
    1.  Why are we required to spend gold on the fishing tasks - RUDE!
    2.  Ghost Line issue is still a problem - especially when we spend money (or gold) on Bait & then have to refresh the game & that fishing window becomes unavailable.
    3.  There is still no XP, FXP, or HAPPINESS discount for The Mermaid Bay!  This is a problem since it is already difficult to turn a profit in The Mermaid Bay until you blow Millions on the upgrades!
    4.  The Boat Rental costs are RIDICULOUS!   There is no way in Hades you can turn a profit on these fish when you pay $50,000 to rent one.  Your only hope is that you go somewhere that has both Sturgeon & Hogfish and you catch at least 3 of each,  then you can break even on the boat, but you still have the cost of your tackle to consider!  Better hope you don't run into any Bass! Cheapest tackle costs you nearly $750 per fish caught, the best Bass at 6kg pays out $450....yikes!
    5. Don't produce BASS & APPLES until you upgrade TMB to level 4!  Even if you are using the cheapest possible pole, hook, reel & line & assuming you don't snap any lines catching the 6 or more Bass you need for the recipe...you actually lose over $7.00 (L1) per batch.  Using a bamboo pole, surf reel, medium minnow & thin mono-filament line?  Your loss is about $1440 per batch (L1), $853 loss (L2), $265 loss (L3).
    6. I love my new task  "Buy Large Bucket - Buy Carbon Fiber Pole"  I bought the Large Bucket, but did not receive credit for completing that task, & I won't be able to buy the Carbon Fiber Pole for another 10 levels....so I'll let you know how that goes in a few weeks!

    I was rather excited about the fishing mini game...until I saw the costs on the test server.  You guys fixed some of it (at least we get $75/kg for bass instead of $8/kg) but somewhere in the mix, other things went bad.  I can not recommend the fishing component to any of my co-op mates that don't have at least a level 5 Flower Shop so they can cover most of the expense.  If we could use the fishing hook for more than one fish....or if the hooks cost $5 instead of $225+ that would be a great start. 

    Oh!  maybe we could take some of the Grapes from the island farm & turn it into wine that we sell for a 500% profit at TMB.  Somethings got to change or this whole fishing thing will have new players going broke & quitting even faster.

    actually he can fish for all the types in the boat " after you reach Level 15 "

    but in early levels he fish 2 types only

    Hello!
    I had the same problem. But I think I have an idea why the "invisible line" occurs ... or better said, when. It happened twice for me. Always when in background is assigned a new mission. I have started search for new mission, then going to fish ... while fishing, new mission is assigned (in background)  and ... no more fishing :).

    Or maybe occurs also when a mission is finished while fishing (and that pop-up window with mission ranks is displayed in background).

    Maybe anyone else can reproduce this ?! 

  • I used catfish bate when I did that 1
