  • having all the same problems, but what really fries me is spending 50K to buy a boat, and my line disappears after one fish.  So I leave, come back, and they tell me my boat is gone.Even if everything works, the prices are ridiculous.  I was so pleased when I started the fishing, but now it is an expensive exercise in frustration.Please, please fix this GGS.
  • Still cannot get my large bucket purchase to register in the task to purchase one.  Any word on when this can be fixed so that we can move forward?
    Same problem here - bought the bucket, not showing as completed in the task window.  Still, maybe they'll have it fixed by the time I get to level 25 and can buy the carbon fibre rod to do the other half of the task! 

    Which, unless you spend 24/7 catching fish, will cost you many thousands of gold coins. What a surprise... It's almost as if GGS never intended to award us 25k for a bucket. Oh Bucket !

    Not understanding the "profit issue", i'm getting massive profits since the fishing game update was introduced to my farm. Yes there are certain traps and things to avoid but a smart fisherman will figure out what type of fishing is most profitable and use it to his/her advantage.

    The bug i'm finding most annoying at the moment is the invisible line. Having to X out and reload the fishing game over and over again becomes a chore and makes the game unenjoyable.

    The bug fix taking so much to show up

    I enter to see any news many times a day but no luck yet

  • @ESP2014 (US1)

    I am able to answer 2 of the issues addressed in your most recent post, so here goes:)

    The invisible fishing line issue is being worked on with great determination and a fix will be uploaded as soon as it is possible.

    The Mermaid Bay is part of the farm environment and therefore not subject to the happiness discount of the Flower Farm (despite having the happiness discount displayed there so enticingly).

    Hope this helps,
    Rowdy
  • No !! I Don't know where it is
  •  :D    When you reach fishing level 15, the boat will appear beside the pier on the Flower Farm that Oleg fishes from.........or is it the pier from which Oleg fishes?  I never could get those dangling prepositions in English class................(and I believe it is level 15 or so)  Any ol' way.......Happy fishing and boating!! 
  • Hi still no luck have tried both ways and on pc and laptop still only getting the bonito fish no bluefish in sight :(

    How to I "take the boat" to get different kinds of fish that aren't available while fishing from my farms?
    You need to be level 15 as a fisher person to get access to the boat.

    @star_xx71 (GB1)  You can find Bonito on the FF. Take a look @CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)  blog here http://crazybigfarm.tk/farm/oleg/oleg.htm  she has made some very good tutorials that should help you with any questions so far about the fishing experience. It is in the beginning stages so she is updating as she progresses on her fishing adventure.

    You can also try this link made by @jess_d (US1)  on the TEST forum https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/testboard/discussion/135909/helpful-information-about-fishing-for-everyone-not-a-bug#latest 
    She has some very helpful and detailed pictures as well.

    The boat will not be available to you until you reach level 15 (I think I can't check right now cause Oil of Olay is training & I don't remember what level I am).

    Good luck.

    Hi can anyone help??
    I am on the catch bluefish task, I found 35/80 on flower farm, but now I cant catch anymore bluefish just getting bonito??
    Also I get the no line all the time really annoying.
    One more thing any idea how/where we gonna be able to cook the recipes.
    Thank you for any help on these issues 
    Be warned that the "Blue fish" and the "Bonito" look very similar. The "Blue fish" have light/silver color fins running down it's back where as the "Bonito" has dark/blue color fins running down it's back. The "Blue fish" are usually a little smaller that the "Bonito"

    I would also point out @star_xx71 (GB1) that bluefish and bonito fish look very much alike. When you Go fishing on the FF pier you may think they are all bonito fish, but they aren't.

    Notice the difference in the image below. This is "Go fishing" from the FF pier and the area has bluefish and bonito fish. I've circled the bluefish. Notice the difference. 
    The bluefish are smaller
    The bluefish have more blue coloring
    The bluefish have small blue fins on their backs, the bonito have larger white fins.

    Near the top of the water notice the 1 bluefish (not circled) under the 2 bonito, see the slight difference there.

  • My fishing is at level 15 now.  I have put a good pole, lure, catfish bait, line in my tackle box and looked at each fishing location.  I have NEVER seen any catfish at any of the 3 locations.  I tried checking out the boat, and again, all 3 boats do not have catfish in the list of fish that I can catch.  It sounds like others have found catfish.  Where are they?
    Buy cat fish bait put it in your fishing box click on it on the left side of the fishing screen an arrow will appear 
    next to the bait click on this and a catfish will swim out

    Bugs fixed in the update:
    - Missions Overview - Shelved missions not displayed correctly
    - Fishing - Mini Game - Invisible line and hook when having low fps
    In addition, the layout mode will be disabled in this bugfix to give the team more time to look for the issue there.
    Timeframe still not defined
    ----------------------------------
    hope the fix works
    seems no fix for the large bucket yet
  • Is this a bug? Sometimes my reel breaks at the last second, making my fish dangle over the dock. Will get a screenshot next time.

    What is fps??

  • What is fps??

    It should be Frames Per Second, regarding the frame rate of the video animation.
    Just an educated guess :)

    The invisible line seems fixed. B) If you guys still get it just wait 1-2 seconds and the line will appear.
    im also noticing a little increasing in overall difficulty,its a bit harder to catch those catfish now..almost impossible for me:)

    How do you play the fish into the boat?

    Keep catching fish ok but line keeps breaking and also runs out of time when catching Carp.

    Give me a clue please

    You will need better equipment to use the boat effectively also be sure you are stocked up before renting the boat ;)

    When sending Oleg to earn fishing XP the fishing experience points are not credited.
    When fishing myself thefishign XP show but the balance I have accrued never changes. This just started when I got to level 19, two days ago.

    Thanks for the fix.  Can take the boat out fishing and catch every single fish.  But back at home it appears my inflatable boat is dry docked/landed, lol.


  • carjola (AU1)carjola (AU1) AU1 Posts: 252
    I also am experiencing this very same problem

    Also can't open the side tab & all my equipment keeps disappearing & I have to keep replacing it each time I go fishing & manage to catch a fish..so 1 fish = all equipment to be used up, this is ridiculous & expensive 
  • stef7 (US1)stef7 (US1) US1 Posts: 460
    I had both my tackle box and bucket at max and now they are all gone. 

    I was not refunded the money for them so at this point I am just been ripped off
