GOrd0n Bennett, that is a helpful and thoughtful post. Thanks!
Chizzckh, was that on a float? I am still learning how folks fish in Europe and don't always understand the obvious. :)
I have caught three bream on Manor with 16mm liver boilie.
Yes, they do know about the pretty one not being included in the log list.
I hope it is useful...I am using one to mark boss catch locations hoping I can repeat the success. :)
Caught nine of the boss carp on Manor, so far. All but one of them have taken the bait multiple times. 18mm boilies on #4 hooks. Thanks for the...
Other thread was getting graphic intensive so I will finish out here on the big fish. This maybe another boss hotspot at the peg to the left of...
Look who stopped by for lunch...this has been a good afternoon![ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Finally, Spike fell to an 18mm Activ-8...[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
On two of these I have caught multiple bosses, and more than once doubled on the same boss in the same session. Peg 19 is a gravel bar at 11:00...
Yikes! I hit a dry spell!
Way to go, Ian! I haven't tricked that one just yet.
If that could be done I would like it, as well. Just exactly the way GOrd0n Bennet described it (Dang, that is a tough way to spell Gordon!)

This one near the parking lot...late afternoon.[ATTACH]
Another one from the bent willow swim (my name for it)[ATTACH]
look for the thread "the boss is in the corner office" :)
I believe the biggest boss cat is 29 lbs. I have caught regular cats that size, though, so there may be some bigger. Still, I would anticipate...
I am up to four of the 23. Dropping them here for reference.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That's what I was hoping to hear, tracko644. It could be just the roll of the dice in my sessions. Thanks for the feedback. Come to think of it,...
WikusMazal, I think you just unlocked one of the secrets of Manor Farm...15 mm baits on #6 hooks. Just caught 6 fish in 2 sim hours with only one...
I haven't tried the 15mm yet. On the 18 mm my smallest fish was 11 lb and largest-ish has been a handful of 30-ish lbs. They typical fish has been...
I wonder if there is a relationship between this behavior and the line being clipped? Anyway, I hate for you to have all the frustration. Hope it...
Value is a very personal standard. For me, I usually think about entertainment value. I think what it would cost to go to the theater or out for a...
Dropped to 18 lb line and #6 hooks and baited all lines with TNT. Fished 6 more sim hours. Tried to keep moving the lines every 30 minutes. 8...
Tried it again, 12 sim hours gave me 8 strikes with 6 fish landed and 2 throwing the bait before I could pick up the rod. South bank, last peg on...
With the sim setting to default I am seeing very few strikes on 18-20 mm baits...seem to be long periods of inactivity and then maybe one or two...
Surely THIS one counts since he is on the boss list...[ATTACH]
Well, I thought that was a boss fish since it is named but it doesn't show up in the log. In fact, there are only 22 boss fish in the log but the...
First Boss for me on the new lake. This swim is the little finger of water that branches out...bottom right of map, I think. Used new 18mm TNT...
I just caught my first Manor Lake Boss and it was on the other new 18mm bait. The seem to be outperforming my pop up 20mm Tiger Nuts by 3 to 1 so far!
Great pics, joshyct! I haven't got my first boss yet so it is great to see the bruiser you reeled in. That mirror carp is nothing to sneeze at...
Well, I will have to give that urban lake another look! On Presa it is the rig/bait drift combined with some weird collision physics that peg the...
[ATTACH] First three were actually 25 lbs or more...This one is nice.
I only just bought the game when the Urban edition came out. I was looking for a simple distraction and not expecting an obsession. The urban lake...
Oh yeah, the details: I was set up on the top of the map, second peg from the left with the wind blowing NW. #4 KD with 20mm pop up Tiger Nuts, 25...
Only Pink Belly remains on my hit list for St. Johns big cats. And today I had the perfect big cat battle. I had to use everything I have learned...
How is the free spool functionality implemented in the game? I am assuming the use of a "free spool" means setting your bait and setting the free...
Ah, I know that pipe from stalking with a float. I wonder if Pink Belly is hiding in there. That fish STILL eludes me! Thanks, tracko644.
Thank you for the info and congrats, Hendore! It's good fun. I think I have a blow back rig in the tackle box for that gravel bar.
I meant to include that pretty much all of my sessions have been 2:00 am until 8:00 am and if there is pretty good activity I will keep going...
I agree. I like the simplicity and the puzzle solving of finding the good spots. Hit me up on Xbox if you want to do multiplayer...GT is DirtyWarbux.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Sharing a boss hot spot on St. Johns. It is the last peg on the bottom left corner of the map. Bosses I have caught since latest...
DTG, just wanted to say the patch is working great so far for me in Freedom Fishing Mode. Catching larger fish on Presa than before, some in the...
Thank you for investigating and keeping us updated. I am not affected by this much as I rarely do multiplayer (yet).
Thank you, DTG!
That's interesting...on console here...put in two and a half hours this morning with 20 mm Tiger Nuts on St. Johns and not a roach in sight!
Ah, that would be a major pain on the PC. Now, are you sure it isn't just my master angling skills that enabled me to catch that big cat on a...
I get you. I was just having some satirical fun...too much morning coffee. :)
