Ok, I'm an oldster and play on PS4. I hope this is the correct place to put this subject. I have gotten messages while fishing and do not know how to reply. My typing skills are poor, with the game controller so when I push the plate to chat and attempt to reply I have lost fish and ended up getting all messed up. My questions are; 1) how does chat work, in game and 2) is there a headset with microphone that converts voice to text available for PS4? I wish to also apologize to those whom my boat has flown by at close proximity or almost run over, my grandson will sometimes pick up the controller when I am taking care of other things....

In some locations fireworks cause the antlered Trout to bite. I found that in one of the challenges.

Thank you for the replies, I was using a titanium leader and 40 lb braid on a Combat loci... when I got the line reeled in the lure was still on. Still wonder about towing the 2000lb+ boat around the inlet, and still having fight left after so long... As for the Uni Muskie... I did bring one in using the same rig. Quite a fight but still ended up in my Fishcastle.

One of the best investments I made was buying the Predator Pack, The boat comes in handy, the tackle is tough and the poles are very strong, p[us you will be bitecoin and money to boot. You will also receive a fish castle, hat, pole case and other goodies. Yes, it does cost about $ 5 us but is a very good value. You can sell items and build bitecoins to the coffer too.

I was fishing in St. Croix Michigan, in the King of the Green Bay alcove. I hooked onto a fish, species unknown. I fought it for more than 45 minutes (real time, my wife was watching) and it put more than 15% wear on my pole, 35% on the line and 16% on the reel (spinning). The fish hooked up with only 45 feet of line out and pulled out to 415 feet.. i was keeping the tension with yellow through most of the fight, with some going red. All of a sudden I received a notice that the fish had escaped due to lack of tension on the line. I did NOT let the tension drop below yellow at any point during the fight. This same type of incident happened to me 2 more times, all without letting the tension drop below the yellow. Oh, I was in my bass boat and did not have the anchor down, yet the fish pulled me all over the alcove.... Say What???? I would think pulling a 2000 boat would tire any fish... Must be something in the water....

Update, Now this happens when shore fishing, without boat being along.....

Update, I now find that the strange happenings also happen without the boat being part of the equipment. Just regular shore fishing now turns me 180 degrees when I remove a pole from the pole stand.

When I fish in Michigan and use my boat I have a strange thing happen. When I set up on the shore across from the sailboat and motorboats, near the buoy and deep water, I retrieve my pole from the stand and end up at the starting point, boat launch, with my arm across my vision. I then restart the game, come back in the location I had set up at and find that I do not have the boat any longer. I also find that when I get a pole from the stand I end up facing 180 degrees from the water, ie, my back to the water. I have to turn around and continue reeling in my line. This happens only in Michigan and only when I use my "Combat boat".... When I just move to a location without using the boat, everything seems to be fine. What is going on and is there, or will there be a fix soon. Very frustrating to have to go through. I am playing on PS4 and playing the stand alone game, from disc.

I hope this doesn't happen to others.... I have a copy of Fisherman - Fishing Planet. I went to the PlayStation Store and purchased Bitecoins and other DLCs. I later learned that the DLC in PlayStation Store does not carry over to Fisherman Fishing Planet. The ONLY DLCs that work with Fisherman are those listed in that game. The DLCs at the PlayStation store are for Fishing Planet. Please learn from my mistake and use only the ones made for the game you have.... Tight Lines and strong hookups....full strings and good luck.

I have a copy of Fisherman, Fishing Planet and wanted to add some DLC to my game. I bought several and also purchased Bitecoin. I went to the download and ended up with "Fishing Planet" being installed. Are the 2 games independent of each other and what can be done so the DLC and Bitecoin are added to my Fisherman, Fishing Planet game. I am at level 27 and would like to keep that level and not have to work thru all of the past missions and tutorials. Is it possible to do so? Thank you in advance for your help.... And Happy Holidays !!

Thank you again for all the help.... kdog013, indeed X worked and I was able to do some fishing... not catching anything, that is still a work in progress... at Emerald lake... Pokxxl... I did fish from a boat, again at Emerald Lake... rental boat... still not sure what or how I did but caught some Walleyes... Tonto.. Now that I know how to change from boat to fish, the problem has been fixed...

I am having a problem with not being able to get my pole when I am in my boat... When I walk out on the pier, pole is in hand...get into the boat and motor to a spot. Open my backpack and select a pole... when I return to "go fishing" I have no pole. It does not matter which pole I choose I don't have anything when I return to fish.... Help... How do I remedy this. Thank you in advance, I have hunted all over for an answer...
