How to raise catch percentage on fish

Postby Thatguyintheback100 » Sun Feb 24, 2019 1:25 am

Almost all the fish i try to catch with the casting rod has 10% or less catch chance, and a karge number of them have 0% catch chances.

Am i doing something wrong? Most of my bait and tackle is q10-15 and I'm fishing in the ocean.

If i can't start catching stuff soon this credo will be impossible.

Selection of hook and line modifies the chance, as does day/night - moon phase is also rumored to have an influence.

Friend who did the fish credo claims that quality impacts it by giving you more options (so you see the fish you want more often), but lure/hook/line combo is also important.

Is there any resource that i can use to cross check my tackle with the preferred one? Also i think line and hook mattering is kinda pushing it when it comes to fishing.

Quality just caps fish quality. Will gives you more options, you get third fish at 30 will. Smoking tobacco can help if you're over 20 will. Chances to catch depend on base tile chance (fish come in nodes), fishing gear and geometric mean of survival and will. If you see a fish you're after with one gear combo, try switching out components and casting in the same tile to find the combo with the highest chance. Then explore neighboring tiles until you find the one with the best chance. You can catch most stuff with just taproot, cattail fibre, bone hook, rock lobster, woodfish and feather fly if you manage to find the right spot, though you'll likely get better chances with more gear options. While you're searching for fish you can save your lures, just cancel fishing instead of pulling any of the options (move or recast). Only commit to pulling when you've found a decent spot.

Nice potjeh, fishing has always interested me but not enough to do the due diligence. I'll pass this on to my fisher friend.

Do you think casting pole fishing is worth the effort compared to spam entrail fishing?
