Yeah, regular derby, fishing event, and while the fishing events don’t happen as often as they used to, I would love to see something new…
1) All fish unleashed! Possibility of catching any book fish in any spot with any lure, or
2) possibility of catching more than one fish with one lure (you know how sometimes you have more than one fish in the circle when another bites?)

Number 1 would really help...I can never remember which spots I need to be using which lures on to catch specific fish 😅

I don't like the idea, the fishing book is supposed to be a challenge and it will eventually fill up just need serious commitment

I was just suggesting that a little variety in the fishing event would be exciting😃 |

I agree to WussyPuss, the fishing area is in need for something new or added. I personally have no idea for a proper change but as it stands it's become a little bit boring. Due to the challenging character of the fishing book I decided to let it go a long time ago. If I catch a rare fish it's ok, if not, I don't care. I don't like fishing either. If I need some I mostly use the net.  |

Something different with the fish would be nice. I just don’t know what.
Not to be a downer, but…. I haven’t finished the book and don’t know if I ever will. I’ve read the fishing guides a time or two, and watched a video on it once. Still not really getting anywhere and have a lot of rare fish to find (let alone different sizes of them) even though I usually do the events. I use different lures, try to find the right spots/lures for the fish I still need, etc.
I used my weight and time boosters for this event and in spite of many fish at maximum weights, not a single new fish or weight (aka diamond or a few). So it kind of feels pointless trying. Like Donkeyfan, I lure fish when I need to, and that’s it.
I just don’t have the time to fuss with a “challenge”, and don’t need another “thing” to do to add to the time I already spend there. So a new fish or couple more spots to make derby fishing tasks go better is about all I can think of, personally. ?

MommySnooks 🐯 Your posting reminds me of myself. I've done the same things as you (nearly) but without success, too. Even for the current event no change. And as you wrote, using a booster will shorten the time but the missing fishes won't show up. So whatever you're trying, you will probably fail. Best thing is, to ignore it.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually don't mind fishing at all. I usually will do at least one fishing task a week in the derby as well as participate in the events. Even fishing this often, I'm still missing one fish and certainly haven't made all the weights yet, but I don't really try to either. I look at fishing as one of the few tasks that you actually gain something rather than always giving away something.
I was about to suggest that I would like to see a "probability" option of catching the special boat items and other things with mystery nets, much like the gift catalog and red boxes, but I just looked and its already there! I also made a suggestion on the old forum to have the porch light on the boathouse "flicker" when you have diamonds to collect from catching fish in the book. Other than those, it would be nice to see some other changes, maybe visually or other ways to catch fish other than using nets and lures.

I use nets. I fish occasionally when I need to but it no longer holds enjoyment for me.

You’re right about the “gain” something as opposed to “give it away” aspect, which is a good point, It just takes more time than I usually want to fuss with (unless it works for a derby, etc.). I’m sure some find it totally relaxing. Possibly the same people who have the patience to fish in real life, lol. 😜😁💕 |
