Personally I tend to find these types of fights happen when you're in a swim that is tight and they constantly swim into the bank and bounce like...
What I mean about structure is look for areas fish might like/hold in. So for example an area on the lake bed where the depth shelves at say 6ft...
Agreed it nowhere near perfect, especially the carp will take any bait but I do find that certain baits increase the probability of a certain...
25lb Braid, Big Pit Reel and a rod of 12ft + with a fast action is what I use. I have caught large boss fish across all the waters and to be...
Not sure there is bar help guides and forums like this to be honest. A generalization to a certain extent but it follows the basics of real life...
Just generally Megladon is hard to land once hooked - Used to be down to certain bugs in the game that made it impossible but now he/she is...
Finally hooked Megladon over Xmas, similar place to above. Thought I had hooked Cheetah again, was absolutely shocked when he flashed up when...
Over the Xmas period I fished Presa in an online match and something extraordinary happened that I had never done before. I caught 4 Boss Fish in...
Well thats pretty poor to be honest....
Yes I can second that.... Played a lot of Multi player over Xmas - At some points I was only hooking one in 4 or 5 bites, generally snapping...
Swims 1, 2, 3, 8, 28,29, 30, 31 - All had plenty of boss fish from. I find short range fishing works the best, margins especially in in 8 and 29....
Sorry add Casters to that - Less bites though.
Swims to the East of the map mid/late afternoon on long day. Fished fairly short ranges, 20 - 30 yards using worm baits or Korda Sweetcorn on size...
Loving this lake... When you can catch 115lb odd Catfish and it isn't a boss...All good in my books!
The little inlet on Pressa ....Usually get a lot of activity there I find 7-10am with Cats. As there is no proper peg as such, just a case of...
Finally got to download Le Lac D'Or over the weekend and have to say this is now the best lake on the game. Spent a fair bit of time on it over...
Surprised - Considering the epic battle I had with Cheetah which was well over double that time - Think though it was partly the swim I was in as...
I was still pretty sure it wasn't possible - Seems it is! How long did that take to get in???!
The little inlet seems a hot a spot - Had Cheetah there the other day but it did take best part of 55 mins to land him! Had the heaviest tackle...
I think different baits that have a higher percentage of catching a species than others eventually would be a good thing. I think though you still...
Personally for me - Stephen, its not prevalent all the time and does seem to suddenly begin to happen mid game but once it does then its doesn't...
Spod issue is a game bug - Only way around it is what Wikus does. I do find it is more prevalent on short range (15yrd ish) spodding than at...
Never landed Megladon, I am not sure if it is even possible due to bugs but that might well have changed since I last fished that water. Certainly...
Seems Chopped worm is a winner for the smaller species of Boss fish? - Not really used it often... So definitely be giving that a go on my next...
Having played Euro Fishing for quite a while now with a fair amount of success, although a number of boss fish still allude me across all the...
My only issues with the drift is it's so erratic, at times it like fishing in a weirpool on rather sedate lakes. I have no issue if baits were to...
Need something to spend those tackle points on - Two ways to go really for me, what has been mentioned in this thread or if the developers can...
Think there is a balance to be had definitely and yes the catch rate seems a lot lower in terms of boss's. Interesting you say smaller hooks are...
I am still struggling to get through the stock fish on this water to get to the boss fish. Tried a lot of what has been discussed in this thread...
Thanks all..... Just trying to understand the game dynamics and what I should and shouldn't be concentrating on in terms of tactics and methods...
So what everyone is saying or at least suggesting is that the wind has a part to play in terms of where fish are at any given time, possibly...
Does that differ from location to location? i.e some types of weather effect fish behavior differently in some venues, compared to others? Like...
Thanks Stephen, What about the time of day? Or is it just aesthetics for the game? The few I have spoken too about this seem to think that it...
On Manor farm I have very little ticked off. Prefer St Johns as an overall water but the boss fish I do have there are a few just caught several...
Peg 12, I had the unnamed common four times in one session, all at different point in the swim and different baits/rods - Couldn't seem to not...
I am led to believe by the game dynamics itself that all the aforementioned factors are important to success - I am beginning to think they are...
After a conversation in another thread, the question came up how important is environmental settings to the chances of catching and then...
It is an interesting question - Maybe I will start another thread to see what the general consensus is for times and if it matters from lake to...
Nice one..... I often wondered how much times/weather/long/short days matter- I think its psychological lots of the time as the light goes that...
What sort of times/conditions etc seem to work the best? - Generally I fish mid/late evening on all waters (6pm - 12am ish) and find it works...
Ultimately be nice to access teleport locations from a pause menu rather than trying to find beacons. If the waters do get bigger then I location...
**Weight!
If you are already playing a fish and you get runs on other rods - The alarms should sound initially to alert you and then mute - Really annoying...
Went back to Manor Farm yesterday - Fished Peg 10 on short day from mid to late evening. I caught the Pretty One x 1 and unbelievably the unnamed...
I think generally across all type of fishing, having a choice of wait groundbait/loose feed you through in would be a massive stop forward. Agree...
Depth definitely important - As currently all the waters are lakes, float type maybe is not so important at the moment but a few options would be...
Useful this, bagged Pale Tail from swim number 1 along with a Boss Carp I hadn't yet caught on St Johns last night...!
Definitely would favour added new boss fish to existing lakes rather than an a new all in one lake with the same re -hashed bosh fish to catch....
Thanks.... That would make sense!
Im still enjoying it, not caught anywhere near all the bosses either! The on land bug and now the bait drifting has but a dent in my enjoyment but...
