Q: How do I fish? A: Buy a rod and bait from Logan's shop, in Bass'ken lake (North of Barton). His shop is the hut at the bottom-left of the map. Click here to go there directly. Then go to Bass'ken lake and click the "Fishing" image that will pop up to fish. I suggest just starting off in Bass'ken Lake with a Basic Fishing Rod and some grade F bait. You can read the step-by-step guide above, in Guides, Tips & Info.
Q: How do I keep the fish between the red lines? A: You simply have to counter the fish's movements. If it moves left, you have to tug it to the right; and if it moves right, you have to tug it to the left. You can tug fish by moving your mouse left or right in the fishing screen (the part with the actual scenery in). The further to the right you have the mouse inside that screen, the harder you pull it to the right. The further to the left of the fishing screen, the harder you pull to the left. But don't pull too hard, or you'll drag the fish right out of that side and lose it!
Q: Where do I buy fishing equipment? A: You can buy fishing equipment from "The Ole Fishing Hole", Old Man Logan's fishing store. His store is positioned in the bottom-left of Bass'ken Lake, the map just north of Barton. Click here to go there directly.
Q: Does the time of day effect what fish I'm likely to catch? A: Yes. Some fish, E.G. Biters in Durem Reclamation Facility appear more often during night-time than in day-time. Others, E.G. Buckin' Bino in Port of Gambino are more likely to show up in the daytime. Other fish are more likely to appear at dawn, and others at dusk. The best way to catch a specific kind of fish is to find out what time of day the fish shows up, and fish at those times.
Q: Does bait effect the fish I'm likely to catch? A: Yes, though only minorly. If you fish in Bass'ken Lake with grade D or A bait, you're still going to catch guppies, but you would be slightly more likely to catch better fish as well.
Q: What does upgrading your rods do? A: It makes your range wider. In other words, the red lines of whatever rod you're using move further apart, so there's more room between the lines for the fish to swim around in without being caught. This is useful, though it only makes the range about 50-100px wider and is fairly expensive. So if you're not a dedicated fisher then an upgrade could just turn out to be a waste of gold. Though, if you are, 100px more range is a lot of difference, and it also increases the casting range. Certain fish are only caught at certain ranges. E.G., a strength rod couldn't reach far enough in Durem Reclamation Facility to hook a Boldur, but a strength rod plus could.
Q: I keep trying to sell my fish, but Old Man Logan says I don't have enough. A: You're trying to use the exchange, where you trade in many fish for items - not sell them. If you want to sell your fish to Old Man Logan, you click on the thumbnail of the image down in the inventory at the bottom of the shop, next to your avatar, in the main shop view (not in the fishing exchange). Type in the amount of that fish that you want to sell and click the "Sell" button. It's the same way you sell items to stores except there's quantity too.
Q: I suck at fishing. How do I get better? A: The ponds have a difficulty. Bass'ken lake: Easy. Port of Gambino: Medium. Durem Reclamation Facility: Hard. So, just practice until you're good in one area, then step up to the next difficulty. Rods don't help you that much, trust me. It relies all in your skill, not in the rod. And remember, practice makes perfect!
Q: I can't catch anything in Durem/Gambino! A: If you're new to fishing, you shouldn't start out there. Restated, the difficulties are as follows: Bass'ken lake: Easy. Port of Gambino: Medium. Durem Reclamation Facility: Hard. You should always start off in Bass'ken Lake if it's your first time. Once you gain the hang of that there, try out Gambino. If it's too hard, you should go back to Bass'ken for a while. When you get used to Gambino's fish, take a step up and try out Durem.
Q: How many fish do I need for exchanging? A: You need 100 fish to exchange them for their item. Rares are the exception, where you only need 10 fish. You need 5000 cans for a tin hat, 1000 old boots for patchwork boots, and 500 tires for tire-on-my-head. Precise amounts are listed in the Exchange Items List.
Q: Do I have to give in all the fish at once to recieve my item or can I just do it bit-by-bit? A: You must hand them in all at once from your inventory.
Q: Where/how can I sell fish? A: You can sell them either back to Logan, the same way you would normal items to stores - underneath the shop view you can click the fish you want to sell, and follow the options. The other choice is at the marketplace, where you can usually sell a little more. Though for that, you require a Vending Pass. This can be bought from the bank in the southeast of Isle de Gambino for 1,000g; you must have bought a trading pass at the bank for 500g first though.
Q: Hey can anybody give me tips for fishing? A: Yes I can. This is a -guide-. It is full of tips. Read it.
Q: There's something this guide doesn't explain that I'm trying to find out. A: Feel free to PM me with your questions and I'll explain them to the best of my ability.
