Title: Fishing Guide (Getting Started)
Post by: Billy Bong (billybob41) on February 27, 2017, 11:39:03 pm

To begin fishing out at sea, you must first own or craft a boat. Then, find the Fishing NPC located at either Red or Blue Harbor's beach.


 -- Big Fishing Pot ($2000):

Requires Fishing Boat to use.
Can catch up to 20 fish.
Needs 1 fishing bait every time you want to catch more fish.

 -- Big Fishing Net ($1650):

Requires Fishing Boat to use.
Can catch up to 15 fish.
Does not require bait.

 -- Medium Fishing Pot ($420):

Great starting gear, does not require a fishing boat.
Can catch up to 10 fish.
Needs 1 fishing bait every time you want to catch more fish.

 -- Fish Container ($250):

Used to collect your captured fish.
Put it near the net/pot and press E on them it to collect the fish.

 -- Fish Bait ($45):

Used inside fishing pots and stored inside your inventory.


Getting Started with Medium Pots

• Purchase 1 - 3 Medium Fishing Pot, Fishing Container and some Bait (bait goes into inventory)
• Rope the pot and container to the back of your boat (air-boat works fine)
• In the ocean, you must construct a base to deploy the gear from (add walls and use Door Tool)
• From this, un-rope your fishing gear and set it where you want to start fishing
• Place bait into the pot by using F4 > Inventory > Drop Fish Bait. Press E and select Deploy Fishing Pot
• After you deploy, place the pot into the water and lock-up your gear. Wait about 10 - 15 min to collect
• After that, collect your fish by setting next to the container, press E on the pot, click Collect Fish.
• Once collected, re-bait the pots. Then rope your containers to your boat and bring them back to the Fishing NPC
• Do not empty the container. Press E on the NPC & click Sell. Repeat

Getting Started with Large Pots / Nets

• Spawn the Fishing Boat from the Dock Master (large gear is only for this boat)
• Purchase 1 - 3 Large Fishing Pot or Large Net, Fishing Containers and some Bait (gear spawn on the boat)
• Place the containers on the boat, tap E, click Tie Down. This secures the gear to the boat
• Drive out to the ocean and stop somewhere safe. If using nets, immediate press E on them, click Deploy
• For large pots, construct a dock aside your Fishing Boat and deploy after baiting the gear.
• After deploying the nets, constantly drive around to catch fish. Backing-up to any beach helps collect
• After deploying the pots, wait about 20 - 25 min before collecting. Buoy must be at the stern
• Press E on the buoy and click Retrieve. This places the gear back on the Fishing Boat
• Once the gear is retrieved out of the water, collect the fish into the containers, re-bait and deploy
