Tried this and got a Siamese carp on my second cast so I would guess that smaller hook sizes here will only net the common carp.
Just had a look at the guide to Gillhams and found this "Every species will take the boilies and tiger nuts when you have a size 2 hook equipped....
I have been Dovetail fishing for a couple of years now and Ill start this post on a positive. This product is probably the best fishing simulator...
Which Makes the predator tournament on Gillhams a bit pointless :)
Ditto - Ive tried most of the bolies & the smaller pellets about the only thing I haven't gone for is maggots and worms. Ive tried small hooks...
Your right A only selects an item. On the Xbox you press menu to select another tackle box ATM the only indication that you have a particular...
Not sure if this will help anyone else having problems entering the online tournaments but I solved my problem (not being able to enter the bass...
It seems to happen mainly when you switch from rod to rod without putting the first rod down first. If I do put the rods down the problem seems to...
It would add a bit of interest to the game if we could set up an offline tournament against your bots on any lake we chose at any time of day, in...
Agreed the lack of any ability to properly view the leaderboards in very frustrating. Its also kinda dumb to chuck us into a random session when...
I'm having the same problem with the bass tournament on Xbox live. All the other tournaments work fine but the bass tournament just sits at the...
The latest installment of fishing fun from dovetail is like a curate's egg (good in parts). The boats are fun, the US lakes are huge, lure fishing...
Stop and half turn it gives you more perspective :)
Spotted or largemouth are all in the same league but throw in striped and maybe you will need the heavy line.
3 kinds of lure. Sinkers either diving lures or just plain heavy go deep with ease. Middle lures like your rat l trap tend to naturally sit about...
WSR works for me and is fine. If I have an issue its the 25 MPH speed limit but hey its a preserved steam route and the scenery is lovely so just...
You may want to add a top lure to that, possibly replacing the rat l trap as you frequently get to see whats around when you use a top lure. A...
No, sorry. Just comparing it to the reality its meant to mirror. BTW in a virtual world you kick my ass. I came in around 230th on the carp...
I'm using a top lure (one of the pencils I think) a middle lure (swimbait perch) and a bottom lure either a worm or one of the other plastic baits...
Not exactly sure what you want. I don't have a go-pro so can't do an on the bank vid. But in-game I'm finding d the baits match up with R L.
Well that's true of most fisheries. We roll up with our hyper expensive tackle or our cheap and cheerful gear and we catch or we don't. Very...
But I catch tons of bream on 8mm Pellets, even the odd rudd and roach. And single sweetcorn bags me anything from a small (1/4 LB roach) to a 20...
I see comments like this lots but as yet I haven't found anything drastically broken about hooks and baits. IRL many of my friends like to target...
Try the competitions The single player ones at 20 mins represent about 5 hours IRL and are reasonably fun. The online tournaments will have you...
I fish 2 club waters and a few day ticket fisheries and all of the items mentioned are as stated banned on all of these waters. Perhaps your...
I like em both and think they behave pretty close to the ones I have been catching in the lakes around me all summer.
On the subject of match imbalance does anyone else feel its a shame that large tench, catfish and bream have all become nuisance fish in the...
An interesting point of divergence between this simulator and the real world is that (at least where I live) most of the tackle (all the ledger...
Why do I need to mess around with my phone to get the documentation for an Xbox title? Not exactly seamless.
As someone who enjoys his course fishing I am extremely disappointed by the venues chosen for the single player match series. 1 & 2 are great and...
Has anyone caught a catfish with the frog lure?
Totally Agree about the tournaments. My only issue with them is that the only general course tournament is the match series and that has you...
Had a fun weekend playing with the early access to fishing sim world. Love the old venues in the new engine and the new venues look good. The...
Its frustrating at best trying to get a 125 out of the depot at old oak as the map only shows (and let's you change) a switch if you can get the...
Unless its been fixed on the quiet you can cheat in tournaments by racking up scores with all all of the players on your account. So instead of...
Some time ago Dovetails Stephen asked for thoughts about the anglers log and lots of us gave some feedback and not a lot happened. Although no...
With Bergsee the last of the new content for season pass one is out and now Dovetail will either be sitting back and raking in the cash or...
It doesn't appear to be quite that as I haven't caught anything yet that couldn't actually take the bait. So no 1lb roach on tigers as yet. As for...
Loving the changes. I'm gonna have to have a close look at the baits as 20mm tigers are catching me a lot of mid sized tench and smallish carp....
Got a 4 gig update when I turned my Xbox on. Any news on what's being patched? Or is this just to change the advert in the lake loading screen?
Small hooks 16-10 along with the smaller live baits should do the trick. On Hooks up to 12 all of the artificial baits work well along with bread,...
It only seems to be big catfish that have been tweaked so that they drag out the last stage of a fight to extreme lengths. Big carp even the huge...
Can't say I have ever noticed any difference from the varying rod actions. But maybe that's because I leave casting set to basic.
Hard Fought Catfish
Image (2) by GOrd0n Bennet posted Jan 27, 2018 at 12:06 PMI caught this fella after hooking him at 3pm in the afternoon (game time). I didn't...
The game tempo seems about right to me. Its just busy enough to keep some activity going. Cant say I want to sit around talking to myself for...
If the visual cues are worth anything the spod seems to drop its load about 5 seconds after it stops moving when you can see a mist of red bait...
I bought this along with the Xbox to play it on just over six months ago when the only add on for it was foundry dock and you could buy the pair...
Sounds fun :)
I'm getting quite blase about catching fish about the 30 pound mark on 3lb line but this is the most outrageous fish I have landed. Today I...
