I have been fishing for a while and I am familiar with how moon phases work etc but I am not an expert and I think there's a big lack of information on fishing. So U have been wondering about the randomness of fishing in certain areas. I have found that my catches has changed a lot from when I lived in my old location to where I am now. I know there's already a lot of threads on fishing but what I can't figure out is if certain areas of the map are more prone to having certain types of fish than others.
For example. On my newb character I created I started on a different part of the map.. I picked up a fishing rode and with a q 10 bone hook a poor q pole and lure and I was still able to catch plaic and eel pretty easily with the right moon phase/location/lure. I never needed to change my line or hook it just worked simply. Now though I have moved to a different location with bigger lakes and now I find that no matter how much I try all I can catch is perch and pike and occasionally ill get a brill or roach.. I am using q 100 bone hooks.. higher q line and the same type of lures. Now maybe its the hook q because now I have a lot higher survival its harder to catch eel and plaice but that seems backwards. So.. Im wondering how this all fits together.. has anyone else have these problems?
