    If you hold the reel for too long without temporarily releasing it, the line will break. That is probably your issue. Try to let go when it goes into the orange or red region and then use the reel again when it is closer to the green part.

    In the future, I would recommend starting your own discussion instead of posting in another one. This one is four and a half years old about a different aspect of fishing involving the dockyard while yours is about Oleg's fishing.

    As you posted in a very old thread about fishing with boats, as ninja says, you are better off with your own thread

    Read the Community Guidelines HERE, which tells you how to use the forum correctly
    Do not post in all bold again

    The GGS wiki has its how to fish page HERE

    and the specific page for fishing yourself is HERE

    I'm sure others like ninjahuman will also give you tips

    try using a different fishing line , the one the game uses automatically, brakes immediately 

    use a more expensive one
    like this one for example

    They may not be able to buy those as I think you need to unlock them somehow. However, if you can buy them, they are very useful.

    to be honest... its been a long time and I dont remember if we unlock them
    I think.. you just have to buy the big bucket and the large box for fishing baits to be able to have more fishing equipment but there are other fishing lines someone can use that are still better from the one the game uses

    Here's your answer:  Buy more expensive equipment.  Most particularly, heavier Line.  I use Pro Medium Monofilament line and small Shad hooks and I can fish most fish all the way up from the bottom without trouble.  
    And you should definitely know that every time you close the fishing window and then reopen it, the fish redistribute themselves.  Just keep doing that until the fish you're trying to catch are up near the top.  (That's the best fishing trick I know.)
    If you are blocked from buying the more expensive equipment because of your fishing level, I recommend just sending Oleg to Training to earn your Fish XP until you're unblocked -- because otherwise fishing is just not worth the frustration.
  • When buying the fishing equipment for personal fishing, pay attention to the equipment quality.  Note the area circled in the screenshot.  Hope this also helps!  B)
