The fishing HW depends on luck because if the type of fishing area does not appear, it will take a whole day before the fishing areas refresh and it will take a very long time to catch all of the fish from a fishing area and get lucky with 1 new fishing area. It does not make sense for a fishing competition to ask for fish that will not appear for an entire day.
Overall, I do like the boats and deep sea fishing. Look at this image. I would like to suggest two things that would make it much, much easier to use. There are two numbers that I need for every boat which are not present on this screen.
I can subtract 1:18 twice from 5:30 and find that total travel time is 8:24. Fishing time is 2:48. This boat will be deployed for 11:12. It would be great if the number 11:12 were shown on this screen........so that it is always clear as to what the total "deployed" time will be.
Second
I can take 16 fish per hour, and multiply that times 2.8 hours and get 44.8. and then multiply 44.8 times 1.25 (for chum). That is 56. So this boat, while deployed will catch 56 fish (admittedly some could be lost). It would also begreatif this number of 56 fish could be displayed and could change/update whenever I add remove worker that do fish per hour, fishing time, and chums.
These are the two numbers that I need to properly manage the boats............ The total deployed time and the total potential fish caught.
I like this update love the new fishing. The fishing-HWE came a bit too soon and it was not fun noticing the boats requires the building slot, but otherwise very happy with the new content A very nice way to get huge amounts of dollars. But what I found tiring was the constant dragging of equipment and crew to the boats. Couldn't we have some way to make our own standard crew and equipment for each boat, so we don't always have to drag a minimum of 56 equipment/crew when sending the 14 boats out to fish (notice these calculations are with 14 level 1 motorboats, bigger boats have more places for equipment/crew). However there are more important things to change and fix, like the problem of waiting on a fishing hole with a specific fish for the HWE and the thing that we don't know which boat at the dock contains what fish.
I absolutely love the new fishing region, having a great time with it and learning all that can be done and made ($) from it.
Had fun with the FHW, I was a lucky one that had all the fish available as I needed them, but can understand some of the frustration of others who did not... It was the first one, let's see how this goes in the future and everyone has the Oleg tasks done and dockyard available and upgraded and boats out hauling in fish! As for the fishing holes, sometimes they didn't change til I left the region and then went back... so still not sure of the 24 hour changes...
Good Job Overall GGS!

I have 4 lobster areas and 2 clams, shrimp and oyster areas. There are no swordfish, salmon, cod areas or herring and tuna areas. My daily tasks for deep sea fishing have not updated yet even though 24 hours have passed.
I am so very happy that there is no limit on how many fish I can catch!...During the Fishing HWE, I must have stockpiled a ton of different fish....made a lot of chum and sold the rest....the lobsters give the best returns, then swordfish.....this fishing thing is a great money maker....At first I griped about having to buy all the gear, but now I realize that you get reimbursed plus when you sell the fish! This is great!
I am going to stalk your fishing farm after you posting how much you are making LOL. Now that I am getting the hang of this I am quite enjoying it.
And thanks to everyone posting tips and breakdowns cause that stuff gives me a headache!
We also need the ability to make more than one chum. At all levels of the dockyard, we can only make one chum at a time! I would like to make 4, 5, or even 8 at a time.

more would be great, and same with nails for the coop village ))))
Totally bored with the dockyard, I have only 3 low level motorboats but find it so time consuming to have to drag each and every item required to the boats. Also having a boat out fishing for 6+ hours and coming home with 4 fish - that leaves me 'gutted' (excuse the pun). Dont see the point of using farm cash on this part of the game, and will definitely not be using it any more.

Hey!
Dont give up ! You need better boats! Upgrade the dockyard and as soon as you have better boats with the right equipment you will catch more fishes and earn much more money!

Is it supposed to have an effect on Deep Sea Fishing?
No the Amphibian is not supposed to affect the Deep Sea area.

Upgrade.
With each upgrade, you will get one extra slot.

Rowdy Rac I had a few errant missions hiding, finally got to the dockyard, you were correct :-)
This is true. I was worried mostly about Tuna, Herring, and Lobster Chum, as these are the most useful ones.
