Catching Eels and Sturgeon
Having no luck catching these types of fish, i know they are both deep water. So tell me your tips what sort of lures, set-ups, areas have you had success hooking these elusive fish?

Re: Catching Eels and Sturgeon
i've heard it's low Q with leeches but never done it successfully nor considered it worth the effort to try given the amount of effort needed to gather leeches versus finding cave bulbs

Re: Catching Eels and Sturgeon
Personally I've never heard of anyone able to get the at a high q level and at a reliable rate so for all purposes you can consider they do not exist and trust me I tried even gold fishing gear.

Re: Catching Eels and Sturgeon
I've never caught either of those, and I've done a LOT of fishing.

Not encouraging then
Oh well, at least i should have some small scale honey bun production soon so i won't have to worry about the eels so much, have had no luck finding a cave either ( I presume cave bulbs come from there ) which is suprising considering the amount of exploring i had to do to find my wild crops.

Honey buns are crap make rings of brodgar if you can.

Re: Catching Eels and Sturgeon
I have caught both of these fish. They are only available when the moon is below half (waxing or waning, i get them mixed up) and in deep water. As for quality, I only have a q10 fishing pole so that's all I get.

Re: Catching Eels and Sturgeon
Caught both of these in shallow water Aka rivers, I was using a quality 5 fishing pole, and leeches (not sure of the quality but it had to be around 5 as well). As for the time of day I caught em both during the day and night.

One guy told me he snagged some sturgeons with a rock lobster, but I never managed to do the same.
