Fishing takes too much time

[Pyro_S]

Cast an reel in. The chances of catching a fish is determined on how far you cast, not the time the lure spends in the water.

Fishing question

ive been doing a lot of fishing and trying different ways of casting and different things like letting it float in or reel it in and i cant seem to tell how fishing works. is it just pure chance when its in the water and does it matter how long its on for? i seem to be lucky to get 1 fish from 30 durability on a lure. anyone got any tips on a more reliable method of getting bites?

“The farther you cast the better off you are, you are loosing durabillity if you make a 1 ft cast into water or a 100 ft cast.”

“If you just want to be more relaxed and aren’t in a hurry because you’re taking a break, you can let it bob toward shore on its own. Either way you’re getting the same number of chances to catch the fish (again, depending on how far out you cast and your lure).”

Also, fishing potions make a HUGE difference in your catch rate. If you have luck rings, wear them too. Luck also plays a big chance in your catch rates.
