    My fish are not counting. Is anyone else having or had this problem?

      I have contacted support. they don't know why it is doing that. yes I know where to look. sent in images before and after I catch and while fishing. I cant believe I am the only one, that has this problem. 
    cleared cache, did ctrl+R. I have windows 10. it automatically updates flash player. tried different browsers.
     support did say they were turning it over to the analysis team.

    How do I level up to 15? I have done everything from the side bar ?

    I am fishing, I have my restaurant, my fellow fishing. I have been fishing and filling my quota from the side bar. Now I can buy anymore fishing equipment until I get to 15. This is the most fun, I love the fishing.


    When My game would not open I opened my game with Internet explorer. I have the newest version of windows

    It is located in the top right hand corner  of my screen. Please play the fishing game, just takes time.

    Good luck

    You can send Oleg out to gain FXP for you. The next time he is not busy click on him then click on the fish. In that window click the second tab on top then select the amount of time you wish to send Oleg to gain FXPs for you. I run the 8 hour almost every night ;-)

    I find that these browsers, Opera or google chrome works much better than Internet Explorer for this game.

    How do you empty your bucket when it become full from your fishing?
  • aaabbb1 (INT1)aaabbb1 (INT1) INT1 Posts: 1,049
    Just leave the minigame and the bucket will empty itself.

    Your bucket will empty itself when you close the mini game window @Damaria3 (US1)

    I know this because my bucket is bugged and I can only hold 170 fish at a time so I must keep closing the window and then go back.
  • Damaria3 (US1)Damaria3 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,737
    Thank you Crazy big farm  don't do much fishing but have been doing some sturgeon fishing lately for xp points and they fill the bucket up fast!

    @Byron Longford (AU1) Wow!   I have a question for you.  If your bucket holds 4 sturgeon, you have to empty it, come back fill it with 4, empty, and on the third time in, you do the same, when you leave and try to reenter, do you get the notice that you've caught all the fish and have to wait for 10 minutes or so before you can go back in?  When you go back in, do you find that the only fish available are the bass and carp and all of your sturgeon are now missing?  If this isn't the scenario that happens on your farm, please tell me how you do it, cause I'm definitely doing something wrong, lol!
  • @KarenKay (US1)  you can catch 5 per bucket not 4, overfilling is fine, you don't lose any. 


    2nd, I always have a 25min timer running when fishing, you get 30mins from the time you first enter until u lose your fish, so when I exit and I have time left on my timer I always make sure that there  is at least 1 fish left there. So I can re enter and continue fishing.  This method I had so far caught up to 130 sturgeon in 30 mins, average is 115 for me.


    The reason you lose your fish if when it wont let you back in, is you have been away from fishing too long.  If I am fishing, I am fishing and ignore the rest of my farm, I fish for 30mins, then do my farm. then go back and fish for 30mins then farm.  I do not try to do both at same time, that is when you will lose fish

    @Byron Longford (AU1)  can i please have a update on what level you are now i am always curious to see how well you are doing sense i have a lot of trouble fishing i am not going up very fast but i like the fact you are also if you do not mind and you can private message me if you want i am also curious to know how much you think you make money wise off of them a day there is a lower level player that fishes like you do and i am always surprised by how much she makes a day from it also do you ever do hogfish sense they make more money but they do give a lot less FXP
  • I am level 49, CYN has slowed me down this week @ijrosh (US1)
      On average profit from 200 sturgeon you make $500k, yes hog fish makes more but no where near as fast on fxp
  • Michiru (GB1)Michiru (GB1) GB1 Posts: 1,239
    Has anyone made a list about how much xp you get depending on which type fish you fish yourself?
    Oleg is levelling up soooo slowly just sending him out for those 8k XP for 8hours... I'd rather send him out on his boats more often than just for xp.
  • KarenKay (US1)KarenKay (US1) Posts: 1,036
    @Michiru (GB1) Fish for Sturgeon, 116 xp each, and as noted above, you can catch 5 each time before emptying your bucket, that's a quick 580.  Byron stated that he is averaging 115 per 30 minute session so 13,340, far better than Oleg.  But it takes time and practice to become that proficient  :)
  • Michiru (GB1)Michiru (GB1) GB1 Posts: 1,239
    Thanks very much for the tip @KarenKay (US1)  <3
  • Even with lots of practice I am still improving, new personal best for me in 30mins 6 blue, 6 Bonito and 157 sturgeon.  This is now by far my best effort.  Practice NEVER makes perfect. There is no perfect, you can ALWAYS do better, so keep on practicing.  I will now continue to try and beat that.

    For those who are trying to chase my best catch for 30mins.  My new best as of today is 6 blue/6 bonito and


    161 sturgeon.  that is 161x106 fxp = 17066 fxp + the bonito and blue fish fxp, level 61 here I come.

    As I said last post keep practicing, you do get better

    I have one doubt, please help....
    On reentry, pool resets & all baited fishes lost.
    During fishing, when bucket is full, the fishing area closes and when we 'go for fishing' again, did you found all your fish which you attracted through baits disappears and the pool resets back to blue and bornitos.....
    How u usualy tackle or avoid this situation. It happen sometimes only, but if many baited fishes were there like the sturgeon rush in your screenshot, then the loss will be in millions since disappearing fish baits are not refunded.....
    Thanks...

    @harikrishnan s (IN1) When it resets and the pool fills again, mean 30mins has passed since first entering.  I run a 25min timer and fish for that and then go farm and go back to fishing.

    As for screen shot I did, that just mucking around, I have plenty of farm $$ to waste

    Thank You @Byron Longford (AU1)  This is the first in all the posts here that I have seen anything about the 30 min. time limit.  That information should solve some of my fishing problems.
  • Hi all,

    Forgive me if this has been answered somewhere else (looked thoroughly), but there seems like all fish tend to just decide to leave the pond at some point. This is usually within a timeframe of 5 to 10 minutes. I tried the 25 mins timer, which is fine for the general reset. But these fish seem like they have a mindset of their own... they just decide to swim away, sooner or later.
    Due to this, I haven't managed to fish efficiently for more than 10 mins and it is a struggle at the end, as they get less and less, due to me fishing them out, but I avoid baiting for more, because then they would swim out of the tank anyway. Is this supposed to be a feature or is it just a bug? Oh and btw, I'm lvl 33 fishing.

    A proper explanation would be very much apreciated.

    Csaba.

    @Im_Csaby (GB1) 30mins is time for the pond reset. But I have found individual fish stay for MAX of 10 mins, this is to stop players putting 100 fish in pond and then fish them out.  Also means when I am fishing, I am fishing and ignore the rest of my farms as it is likely you will lose fish if you go do other farming..  I have posted this somewhere before, but I can't find it either ... :D

    Many thanks for the confirrmation, this makes it a lot clearer now. After I've posted on the forum, I went back to the game  to actually test it. I just put a couple of fish in the tank and kept watching them. Now, I can't write exact numbers for the other types of fish, but from the ones I've tested, sturgeon had a timer of 4 minutes... the good thing is that it is actually individual, so as long as I'm adding fish slowly to the tank as I progress should help a lot. (I had the tendency to add lots of fish as well :smile: )

    For those who are trying to chase my best catch for 30mins.  My new best as of today is 6 blue/6 bonito and 


    181 sturgeon.  that is 181x179 fxp (my hovercraft is lvl6) = 32399 fxp + the bonito and blue fish fxp, when I get hovercraft to level 7 I will nearly be able to do 70k FXP per hr level 61 here I come.

    As I said last post keep practicing, you do get better   My average fishing is now 160 sturgeon in 30 mins
