Same, I had 3 before getting fed up with bullheads, rock bass, tiger trout and whatnot. And to think you have to get 43... The ones I caught were on a size 1 hook using the candy at max depth. 2 Quote

TC915 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 Well fellas looks like it's time to start that "Halloween tips/community effort/complaints" thread lol. Haven't tried for Bluegill yet (kinda scared to now lol), tho did try for the Vamp fin potion ingredient & wow what a disaster. Outta 10 minnows caught 1 Vamp, was really hoping last yrs complaints of horrible catch rates were taken into account, but guess not. At the current rate I'll need 130 minnows for just 1 part of the potion challenge, ridiculous! 3 Quote

Something that has occurred to me though, last year there were barely any bites after dark from other species. This year the regular gar and the cats are taking rotten minnows. So stock up boys, this could get expensive.. 1 Quote
Tmif Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 Jupiter spot...4 hours game time, 44 fish total, 4 bluegill skeletons. I must be in the wrong spot. 2 1 Quote
Violentvole Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 TC, it cost me around 30 minnows to get the 13 vamps. Best advice I can give is: alternate between spots. After I'd had 2 vamps from a spot it only yielded regular gar. So I'd move, catch some from elsewhere and so on and so forth. Be aware, some nights just seem to suddenly die. Better off skipping to the next night once you've tried all the spots without success. I found that out at the cost of a real hour waiting for it to pick back up... 1 1 Quote

Went to Fla. to give Albinos & Bowfin a shot, sadly only got 1 Bowfin & 5 Albinos after many hrs & 15+ pig eyes. Honestly don't think I'll have enough funds or time to get a Frankenfish, did the math & we'll need 131 fish for all the ingredients of the potion. Just aggravating/disappointing they'd repeat the same catch rate disaster as last year after all the complaints. Regardless not giving up & will throw my best at it daily, just not sinking $50-$100+ just for the Frankenfish & Kayak; I'd rather buy Rdr2 lol. Quote

You sure you're fishing the right spots? Luckily I had a glut of the 3 halloween baits left over from last year. Does the bowfin mission make you go to Florida? That sucks, LA would be the more logical location. 1 Quote

VN congrats! & yea I saw the Vamps thread. I'm at all the usual spots (last yrs gar spots & regular bowfin spots), just having lil too no success. Tho on this session I did try uping my speed for Bowfin to 3-4, having a better bite rate this go round, guess those roaches need to move fast lol. As for event fish, waiting to complete other challenges before sinking what's left of my baitcoin stash in the event. Yea the Bowfin have to be caught in Fla. after midnight with the Roach Spoon! 2 Quote
Violentvole Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 Yeah I'm with some guys now complaining about the Bowfin lol. Seems it should be....fun. As in, 43 Bluegill skeletons fun. 1 Quote
TC915 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 Haha, Hate-ful & I are in a room doing the same thing. He's working on Bowfin, already bagged his Vamp & Albino quota. 1 Quote
Tmif Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 I missed last years Halloween event but heard all the stories. The way they rolled it into missions is great. In MI, the skull forming mist and the creepy jack o lantern moon guy eyeballin me are awesome. And the look of all these fish are amazing. Just wish everything didn't require(pumpkins right...if you get lucky) baitcoins or days waiting for a bite. 3 Quote
TC915 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 Well got the Bowfin done, higher speed was all I needed. Now on to that dreaded Bluegill hunt, sure hope the regular baits work well only got 20 candies. 1 Quote

I agree on both points Tmif; the event visuals & community coming together is great & worth the time put in. Though the outrageous amount of baitcoins (because you're right, the pumpkins/tombstones so far offered very lil help) needed is ridiculous. *Much appreciation for the bloodworms tip, definitely will give 'em a shot.

Violentvole Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 I'm missing something, what do the candles do? Currently throwing lots of 4 letter words at the Bowfins. 1 Quote

Candles, You mean candies? Lol, doing the same too these Skeletons in Michigan!! Look at Hate-fuls post right above yours; I used same spots & speed, alternating retrievals every 3 or 4 casts. Once I did that they hooked pretty good. Quote
Violentvole Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 I misread candies as candles. Still unsure as to why I have candles. Quote
TC915 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 Yea they confused me too, so I used 'em for the Skeletons. Though only got 3 skeletons & used 20 candies, so that was probably a misuse of resources lol. Well finished first spot for Skeletons, only cost me 20 candies, 32 bloodworms, 9pm to 2:30am & a crap load of my enthusiasm for this event!! Yay, only 35 more of 'em to go :.^( Quote
