Hello anglers! A lot of time has passed since our last Diary. We wasted no time and can finally tell you about our new big update that we’ve prepared for you — the Congo River! You will be able to explore the Congo River on Steam late November — early December, and on consoles in a couple of weeks after that! Here, in the heart of Africa, the vast tropical rainforest covers both banks of the great Congo River, the deepest river in the world. This unique biome is home to hundreds of unique mammals and thousands of bird and fish species. This is where the last corners of the wild, unexplored nature are hidden. So what can our anglers expect from the Congo River? In its middle reaches (just below Boyoma Falls), the river flows through the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and consists of a chain of lake-like pools with a huge number of islands overgrown with tropical forests and impassable swampy stretches of land. The pond is located on the equator, that’s why the weather is hot all year round. Frequent fogs and strong intermittent rains give way to heat and high humidity. But then the low water season (or dry season) comes, bringing excellent conditions for fishing! The pond is practically devoid of emergent vegetation. High coastal grass only grows near the banks, in shallow creeks and channels, resembling a thick wall. Running muddy water flows north to south, characterized by a weak current in wide areas and a medium current in narrow stretches. The average depth of the river in these places is about 4–7 meters. And on vast shoals and in narrow channels, the depth ranges from 1.5 to 3 meters. The bottom of the central deep-water channels is mainly clay-earthen, with small sandy areas. However, on the shores overgrown with grass, as well as in shallow bays and creeks, it is muddy.The southern part of the pond features a rocky bottom. At the Congo River, we have prepared as many as seven locations. There are few of them: Cable Ferry Wild Islands Bomuna Settlement Hanging Bridges The Congo is generally not the easiest place to fish, and you’ll have to do your best, but your efforts will be rewarded many times over! After all, we have introduced 17 absolutely new species of fish, including some unique African endemics such as: the Nile Perch, which can reach a weight of about 200 kilograms, as well as the Goliath Tigerfish, and the African Tigerfish are the main targets for which anglers come to Africa from all over the world! And believe us, these are some of the most coveted trophies for anglers from all over the world! Of course, we couldn't leave you unequipped for battles with such monsters. That’s why we’ve prepared some unique baits for you, such as Caddis Larva, African Giant Water Bug, and Banana Bread. In addition to that, you’ll be able to use some real delicacies when fishing for the voracious African predators: Canned Meat, Buffalo Kidney, and Small Tilapia. So get your best gear ready, friends! After all, you’re about to have the opportunity to explore these amazing fishing grounds and test your skills on the African continent!

The best way to complete the rod breaker challenge is to use a light feeder rod with a heavy sinker and break 3 quiver tips with 3 casts on each rod. Taking 3 similar feeder rods to lone star and you will do it. That is how I completed it

Hello there It would make perfect sense to have a rod stand alarm sound arrangement. The nature sound is beautiful, but the alarm sound is quite irritating. When trying to attract 4-5 fish at the same time, this sound reaches a very disturbing size. I think it is necessary to find a solution as soon as possible. Thnx

I concur and will add my 2 cents. Whoever is missing the spoons should spend the 99 baitcoins. Past years experience tells me that the probability of finding them on a waterway are nil. That is the way things are in the current state with FP.

Hello everyone. I'm a brazilian dev and really like the game. So eventually i wondered if there's a possibility that you'll ever develop an API where you can extract account information like the latest fish caught, or the biggest ones. Anyway, I think it would be a great idea and an organic way to promote the game. Ty.

During the Christmas event I believe (roughly 17th Dec - 10th Jan). Don't know if you can fish anywhere, it could be limited to the North American waterways.

Yes, there will be new spinning, bottom and match rods and reels for them, new baits, lures and rigs. And the new boat of course, equipped with rod stands.

I wrote this for someone experiencing a similar problem early last year, it may help : These items are most likely in your home storage (unless you binned or sold them, then they are gone), from home go to the Shop tab and select the Tools & Equipment tab. You should (if you have the credits or haven't already) buy a vest (camo vest), a rod case (HobbyGear) and a tackle box (Easy Go Belt Pocket). Select the Inventory tab, then the Home Storage tab, then the packing boxes icon and the little green man icon, drag your new items over to your avatar and place them in the highlighted area. After the rod case was placed the little green man should have a 1 and 2 next to it, these are your rod slots. White is empty, Red is not ready and Green is good to go. Select a rod slot and select the fishing rod icon (from home storage), select the rod and drag over to the highlighted area, drag over the appropriate reel, select the line icon and drag over the fishing line (fill it up), if it is a spinning setup you can select a lure icon and drag a lure across (if it says the tackle setup is too heavy, don't use it you'll break your tackle), if it is a float setup select the hook, float and feeder icon and drag over your (chubby) float, now drag over a appropriate hook, now select the worm icon and drag over the desired bait. The number next to the little green man should now be green and ready for use. Drag anything you think you may need from home storage to the backpack tab. Select the Map tab and select Lone Star, Texas, and then select Travel (make sure you have a licence to fish at Texas, Advanced is recommended). You shouldn't require a leader for float/spin fishing yet, try setting up without one in place. Feel free to give an update if you're still stuck.

An updated list of the fishing techniques required to catch (almost*) every unique in the game, including 2018 video of them being caught. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XV6SgJuwCYGDHWFzouapEyfnlFDcMdLXTr1DhKIBdrc/edit?usp=sharing Includes major trophies and common fish too. *Except half the uniques in Quanchkin Lake because I hate and loathe the place and I'm not going back. This is a copy of a post made in the Steam discussion forums. I didn't want to assume people read both forums.

Настало время представить вам нашу новую локацию! С последнего нашего Дневника прошло немало времени. Мы не теряли времени даром и наконец-то можем рассказать вам о нашем новом, большом обновлении, которое мы приготовили для вас - о реке Конго! Вы сможете исследовать реку Конго в Steam в конце ноября - начале декабря! Здесь, в самом сердце Африки, бескрайние джунгли тропического леса раскинулись по обоим берегам великой реки Конго, самой глубокой реки в мире. Этот уникальный биом - дом для сотен уникальных млекопитающих и приматов, тысяч птиц и рыб. Последние уголки дикой, неисследованной природы скрываются именно здесь. Итак, что же ждет рыбаков на реке Конго? В среднем течении (ниже водопадов Стэнли) река протекает по территории Демократической Республики Конго и представляет собой озеровидные расширения русла с огромным количеством островов, поросших тропическим лесом и с непроходимыми заболоченными берегами. Поскольку водоем находится на экваторе, погода стабильно жаркая круглый год. Частые туманы и сильные кратковременные дожди сменяются жарой и высокой влажностью. Но наступает и сезон низкой воды (сухой сезон), когда рыба ловится просто превосходно! Водоем практически лишен надводной растительности. И лишь у берегов, в мелководных заводях и протоках густой стеной растет высокая прибрежная трава. Проточная, мутная вода со слабым течением на широких участках и со средним в узких местах, двигается с севера на юг. Средняя глубина реки в этих местах около 4-7 м. А на обширных отмелях и в узких протоках глубина колеблется от 1,5 м до 3 м. Дно в центральных глубоководных протоках в основном глинисто-земляное, с небольшими песчаными участками. У поросших травой берегов, а также в мелководных заливах и заводях - илистое. В южной части водоема можно встретить и каменистое дно. И для этого водоема мы подготовили целых семь локаций. Вот несколько из них: Паромная Переправа; Дикие Острова; Поселок Бомуна; Подвесные Мосты. В целом, Конго - это не самое простое место для рыбалки, и вам придется постараться, но ваши старания будут награждены сторицей! Ведь мы населили водоём 17 видами новых, ранее нигде не встречавшихся рыб, среди которых уникальные африканские эндемики, такие как: Нильский Окунь, который может достигать 200 кг веса, а также Большая Тигровая Рыба и Африканская Тигровая Рыба! И уж поверьте, это самые желанные трофеи для рыболовов со всех уголков света! Конечно же для сражений с такими монстрами мы не могли оставить вас с пустыми руками и подготовили уникальные наживки! Это и Личинки Ручейника и Африканский гигантский водяной жук и Банановый Хлеб: . А также настоящие деликатесы для прожорливых африканских хищников: Консервированное Мясо, Почки Буйвола и Мелкая Тиляпия. Так что, готовьте ваши лучшие снасти, друзья! Ведь очень скоро у вас будет возможность самим исследовать эти удивительные рыболовные угодья и испытать свое мастерство на Африканском континенте!

Hi, Pressing F9 will list the server you are connected to, I used that to debug my connection problems. During loading I was connected to 192.40.222.2 after a while I was forwarded to 192.40.222.34, both with a good ping. Then the game was loaded. When I then click "Go fishing" I am still connected to 192.40.222.34, but forwarded after 2 seconds to 198.144.126.67 and then I get connection lost. So it would seem that 198.144.126.67 is defect. That would explain why some people has no issues, they are lucky to connect to a working server. I am just not. I am able to ping 198.144.126.67 just fine, the FP service is just not working. /Jesper Edit: My username is jesperj, and this happened today and yesterday (6 + 7 November 2021)

Congrats on both @weeksy!! I also did the fishy racing challenge at Christmas, first time hearing of it being done outside the Christmas event, hilarious

Earn an extra Kayak this halloween by doing the FISHY RACING 111 challenge by hooking the monster fish from a kayak and letting it drag you all around the waterway for as long as possible!!! Says its a Christmas challenge but it works so give it a go.

Hi , Are you considering adding an open sea waterway? by enlarging th boat size, fishing for TUNA and other SHARKS becomes truly unique. Thnx

Indeed, got both the Roach and Spider spoons in todays run.

Finally got a roach spoon in a tombstone at Michigan, I expect the spider spoon will also turn up about now.

Maximum drag of reel is not when that reel will break but what the maximum drag it can provide, so if you use a reel with a maximum drag just under the breaking strain of the line and recomended rod,in your case it would be in the region of 9.5 to 10kg it can safely be set to maximum drag, without risk of breaking and still utilising the full potential of the rod. Dont forget that any leaders used must be heavier than the mainline or it may break. Always use plenty of line on reel as without the ability to break the line, if the fish should be a monster and take all your line off the reel, it can then destroy your reel. You can select option to cut the line in this situation but I can say that I have never had to cut it. If done correctly only the reel should reach the verry top of the red zone and the rod and line should reach a max at one or two segments from the top. Happy Fishing for the big ones. PS. The one warning you must not ignore is if it says lure or bait is too heavy for rod as this will result in rod breaking on a full cast.

Normally controlled by the third (middle or roller) mouse button on a PC, press F1 to see the keyboard layout or look at Key Mapping under Settings () to see the keybindings.

K and L on the laptop.... thank you tons.

Should be your retrieval speed, if you look at the icon for your reel settings (bottom right corner of the screen) the outside ring is your drag setting and the arrow in the center is your speed. There's 4 speeds forward and one reverse. If you have one arrow pointing down you're in reverse. On console it's the D-pad up or down to change.

Information about this year's Halloween event was posted on Twitter and the forum, but has now been removed. Why did you delete it?

@lcheevers I fished two nights and the brutus worked just fine for the vamps. After the first 4 fish I got bitten off once so I threw on a titanium leader and left at the end of the night to buy the level 40 one but when I went back the bite rate seemed slow so I took it back off and ended up over the two nights catching 13 and losing just the one on the first night. They only took about two minutes of real time to get in except for the 92 pounder which took me 3 minutes. I fished with just one rod and without titanium because rod stands and leaders weren't available back then but here's a couple of pics with my keepnet and the setup I was using; EDIT: When I left to get the lvl 40 leader I did the pumpkin and tombstone run. That's why I have less money on the second pic than the first.

Took a look at my inventory last night, I have 108 roach spoons, 80 spider spoons, and 2,118 maggots

There hasn't been anything for me to do on Halloween for a couple of years now so I'm not on everyday and I didn't notice an update for FP either so I think they just turned the event from last year back on, which would mean they're probably going to be just as rare unless the adjust it. I've made a few runs just out of curiosity and haven't seen any of either one, mostly slimy cranks and blade spinners with a couple of bony shads appearing last night. Too bad they're still not giftable either, I have lots of both from previous years.

What about ps/xbox players???

i am having the same issue. Friend is not receiving my friend request and there is no where to delete friend request. me or him did not get the friend request.

Hi, anglers! Many of you probably have been wondering what’s coming next in Fishing Planet. We are happy to tell you what we have been working on since the release of Maku-Maku Lake in Peru. Right now we are finalizing a new waterway - Marron River, which in Spanish means “The Brown River”. It comes next in our series of South American Amazon waterways that we are very proud to introduce to our players. The river originates in the northern part of Bolivia, specifically in Beni Department, and is a tributary to the Beni River. Together with the Mamoré River they make up the Madeira, Amazon’s largest tributary. September is the warmest month in this region. That’s why we’ve planned for you to visit these wonderful locations in late September. The heat starts to recede, and on some days it might even drizzle. It’s simply magnificent to fish or just walk along the picturesque banks of the Marron River during this time! The total length of the river with all its tributaries is over five kilometers (just over three miles), which makes it the longest one in the Fishing Planet gaming world. That’s why owning a boat is virtually indispensable for a successful fishing trip. However, if you haven’t purchased a vessel yet, don’t be put out by this. Go to the Viejo Vado Boat Station, where you can rent out affordable motor boats as well as an exclusive wooden kayak, skillfully crafted by local woodworkers. For those preferring to fish from the bank we have prepared six basic locations with perfect fishing conditions, and the Viejo Vado Boat Station is one of them. The river’s mainstream has plenty of pits up to 10 m (33 ft) deep and is rather fast-flowing, so we recommend our anglers to use heavy lures and sinkers as part of their tackle. Large catfish and bottom predators will be waiting for you in the muddy waters of the Brown River. It is over 200 m (650 ft) wide at its mainstream. Meanwhile, the river’s many tributaries are not as fast or deep, so that’s where you can fully enjoy the gorgeous nature and take a short rest. Two small lakes, Selva and Anku, are also worth mentioning: they sit hidden among the river’s meandering tributaries and constitute two basic locations of the reservoir. These lakes are teeming with various fish species, including the Fishing Planet’s largest piranha – Tambaqui. This is a giant of a fish, with its weight sometimes exceeding over 40 kg (88 lb). Naturally, it’s not an easy task to catch a Unique Tambaqui and will require many hours, so be sure to have plenty of powerful tackle at hand if you come across this desirable trophy. You can find all your necessary tackle for fruitful fishing experience at the local store – Marron Rio Mercado. Our next basic location is situated near a lone hut on the southern bank of the river. Local residents have named this place Sacha Kallpa, which stands for “Mighty Tree”. Here, beside the hut, it seems the time has stopped thousands of years ago. The villagers know they can come across Peacock Bass in the southern areas of the Marron River, so they fish here sometimes. Leaving the Viejo Vado Boat Station and moving down the river you will find the local village of Los Cardos, which is similarly a basic location. Most dwellings are raised on stilts against the river flooding, and some of their thatched roofs peek out of the evergreen vegetation. The soil is sandy clay. The slope is rather steep occasionally, but in most areas you can freely reach the water to set up a fishing spot. Our final basic location of this waterway is situated on one of the river’s isles, Chiri. This islet’s name means “cold” in the local language, which can be explained by frequent mists or cool air streams sweeping its shores. A small unkempt shelter adds to the feeling of abandonment, because nobody seems to live here today apart from rare visiting anglers from the village. The shore is clay, rocky and low-sloped, which makes for a most pleasant fishing experience. Speaking about the variety of fish, you will be able to catch 20 whole species at this location, some of which you previously fished for at Maku-Maku Lake. But you will still be treated to five very new species, including the said Tambaqui! Marron River features one more very intriguing object – a stranded old ship. It is still in great condition, and most importantly, hasn’t been salvaged by locals for tools or building materials. Explore the location to find the ship: who knows what kind of surprises await you there!

Собираем минимальные снасти для поимки этого монстра. Где и как ловить кору. Где, как и когда ловить самого монстра.

Bei Feeder-, Grund- und Karpfenruten läuten die Glocken, einige der höher gelegenen Rutenständer haben einen Alarm, wenn die Fische beißen. Es gibt auch eine Option in den Einstellungen, um ein "Ding"-Geräusch zu erzeugen, wenn ein Fisch in Ihren Köder beißt, wenn Sie eine Pose/Bobber verwenden. Google-Übersetzer verwendet. The bells go on feeder, bottom and carp rods, some of the higher level rod stands have an alarm for when the fish bite. There is also an option in settings to make a "ding" noise when a fish is biting your bait when using a float/bobber. Google translate used.

Vielen vielen Dank es hat direkt beim ersten Auswurf geklappt endlich ....hatte mir eine Boje da gesetzt mit deinen Kords Aber was mich doch schwer wundert es ist ja nicht mal die Nähe des Kanus da hätte ich niemals Hingeworfen. Ich hatte wirklich alles angeschmissen die komplette Einmündung :DDDD Danke für die schnelle Hilfe Petri Heil

Versuchen Sie, rechts vom Eingang der kleinen Bucht zu werfen, in der sich das Kanu befindet. Suchen Sie in der Nähe des Ufers nach einem Bündel strohfarbenen Schilfrohrs, das Sie in der Umgebung dieses Schilfs auswerfen müssen (ein Baum mit goldenen Blättern steht weiter hinten vom Ufer). Sobald Sie den Cast in der Nähe des versunkenen Kanuteils der Mission abgeschlossen haben, sollten Sie nun in der Lage sein, die Reliktkiste aus dem Kanu selbst zu fangen (Kartenkoord. 148.9, -7.66) (Google Übersetzer verwendet) Try casting to the right-hand side of the entrance of the small inlet where the canoe is located. Look for a bunch of straw-coloured reeds near the shoreline, you need to cast in the area around these reeds (there is a tree with golden leaves further back from the shoreline). Once you have cleared the Cast near the sunken canoe part of the mission you should be now able to catch the relic chest from the canoe itself (Map co-ords 148.9, -7.66) (Google Translate used)

Hi, I known a lot of player who stop competition or stop definitively fishing planet cause of the level on competitions is very high and sometimes can get frustrated , so perhaps FP can make make something to regroup best people . Like delete amator competition and create elite competition for all player more than 1500 or 2000 personal rank point . What you think about that ?

Moin,moin Es gibt im Spiel die Möglichkeit die Schwimmer deutlich größer darzustellen, um deren Sichtbarkeit bei schlechten Sichtverhältnissen zu verbessern. Vielleicht ist das bei dir der Fall und es wirkt so als wäre der Schwimmer Seiten verkehrt? Von daher wäre es ganz gut ein Bild davon zu haben neben der Info, welcher Schwimmer es ist.

Hi, anglers! Many of you are interested in what we will release next. Get ready to visit South America and experience a new fishing destination - the wild Maku-Maku Lake in the north-east of Peru. The wild Maku-Maku Lake is located in the north-east of Peru, upstream the Amazon basin and in between the Marañón and the Ucayali Rivers, which come together to form the Amazon River. This lake is a forgotten treasure of the immense and impassable Amazonian equatorial rainforest. Nothing even resembling industrial activity can be found within miles of the lake, with no signs of urban life nearby. Probably that’s why the flora and fauna of these places are so vehemently asserted in its rights. People still visit these places, but only as guests rather than masters. There is a small indigenous village at the lakeside, and its residents managed to preserve nature in its primordial state and become its organic part. And of course, the omnipresent tourists found their way here — they usually stay at a small tourist camping site near the lake in pursuit of amazing fishing trophies. It’s constantly warm and humid in these parts of the world, and a year is roughly divided into a wet season and a dry season. Anglers start arriving here late May to early June when the wet season is nearing its end. The temperature and humidity start to drop, the sky lightens, precipitation level decreases (although it rains still), the water level begins to ebb, and the fish sets off to bite at anything it sees in the water! That’s why we chose the summer’s first month! Our lake is rather deep, with many pits measuring some 33 ft (10 m) in depth. The deepest ones can reach up to 50 ft (15 m). After all, our biggest catfish do need somewhere to inhabit! But there are also vast shallow waters where small forage fish are eager to feed, inevitably falling prey to all sorts of predators! The lake is best suited for boat fishing because the exuberant vegetation encroaches close onto the water body. There are only a few places where you can fish from the shore, but they are definitely there. The three main lake locations deserve a special introduction. The first one is a village of the local indigenous tribe on the western shore. Not far from it a narrow river flows out of Maku-Maku Lake and further feeds into one of the sources of the most magnificent river on the planet - the Amazon! The second location is a fishing tourist site situated on a small hill on the southern shore. The third one is a modest camping site in the northern part of the biggest island. It’s necessary to mention a wondrous submerged forest, where you can steer your boat into and land a spectacular trophy. This is the first place of its kind to make an appearance in our game! The reservoir naturally has its unique features. Its flora is uncanny, from palms and giant ferns to rubber trees and pistia the water cabbage, floating freely on the lake surface. A multitude of loud colorful birds and boisterous monkeys are keen on giving careless tourists the shivers. Talking about species diversity, this lake will offer 18 fish species for you to catch, 16 of which are — unprecedentedly — introduced FOR THE FIRST TIME! Never before have we given to you so many exclusive species at one location! And above all: the Amazonian region does not stop here, it only just begins. Expect even more unforgettable fishing experience in the future!

Hello, anglers! It’s been a while since we last shared with you what we are working on. Today we’d like to talk about new functionality that is waiting for you in the upcoming release in the first half of November. This time we prepared for you a new type of Fishing Planet’s competitive events called User Competitions. Unlike all regular (automated) competitions, User Generated Competitions will be created by the anglers themselves. Players will also be able to finetune and adjust the multiple settings of these events, including rules, locations, time schedules and participants. We designed a whole array of new tools to make it more comfortable for you to create and host just the perfect angling competitions and set numerous parameters to your preferences: Templates - players can either choose from one of the preexisting competitive templates, or create a completely new competition. Formats - there will be a number of formats for user competitions, depending on the type of competition: Free For All - players aim at getting the highest personal score. Team Competition - participants are divided into two teams, and each player aims at getting the highest total team score. Duel - a one-on-one competition format. Privacy: Open competition - the event is open to anyone. Private competition - the event is password protected. Entry Fee - competition fee for those who wish to participate. Initial Prize Pool - the amount of reward that the competition Host sets for the prize. Waterway for hosting the competition. Player LVLs that are admissible for participation. Maximum number of participants. Setting for Duration and Start of the competition. Manual Start - competition begins after the Host starts it manually. Scheduled Start - competition begins automatically at a set time. Game Time/Weather tuning. Qualifying Fish. Count of score points - either total fish caught or fish in the Keepnet. Set of scorekeeping Rulesets. Tackle Types that are required to use in order to earn score. Choice of admissible equipment. Sponsored Competitions Aside from standard User Competitions, in the future there will also be Sponsored Competitions. These competitions have some special characteristics and might have unique sponsor rewards. That’s all for now! We’ll share more details on how this functionality would work in our next issue of DD this Friday. Stay tuned!

European waterways come along with a lot of new European fish. We have added 37 new species: Asp Barbel Bighead Carp Bitterling Bleak Blue Bream Bream Brown Trout Prussian Carp Caspian Roach Creek Brown Trout European Chub European Eel European Perch Flounder Crucian Carp Grass Carp Grayling Gudgeon Ide MarbleTrout Mirror Carp Monkey Goby Leather Carp Roach Round Goby Rudd Ruffe Silver Bream Silver Carp Tench Thicklip Grey Mullet Volga Zander Zander Ziege This update also includes few fish giants that will get on nerves of even hardcore anglers. No one can remain indifferent in the face of 60 kg Wels Catfish and Beluga. At the same time, you have a possibility to meet and catch, well known Common Carp and Northern Pike.

so i have caught over 200+ young bull sharks using a barbless 10/0 hook and bobber, i have used every bait from cut crawfish, blood, duck mussel, gulf shrimp, shrimp, large cut bait, large minnow, frog, crawfish, etc.... i have use an abundance of bait but not one single trophy or common shark... a lot of times when i fish shallow i get huge circle shaped boils in the water around my bobber but nothing happens every single time i actually hook a shark i get it the the boat so im not losing any trophy or common shark due to line breaks or anything like that yet still i have never caught one single common or trophy there has to be some kind of bug or something built into the game keeping me from catching them please help this is getting really frustrating as i spent money to but the Amazonian package just to fish for sharks

PC Usernames Melodilly / Kitsunitachi Event occured 9/7/2021 To start, my friend was able to see me on their friends list, but I was not able to see them, I sent a request through game engine, didint work, so I had them remove me from their list and add me instead, I never got the request, both sides say request pending. Tried removing and re-adding on steam, no luck

Believe me im on your side i'm not looking forward to the terrible grind at all ( Debated just deleting the game) but thats how these so called free to play games generate money . If they made it to easy to rank up nobody would buy premium or DLCs that are basicly pay to advance . To me the grind wouldnt be bad if i didnt really only have 2 or 3 types of fish to maximize my time.
