GreatGnarledOne Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 I cannot catch this one... can anyone help.. 3 days ingame time... 5'ish real time hr's trying at morning and at night but not even a hit using two bottoms and a float... watched all the youtube vid's... PLEASE HELP, I'm running out of time Quote
Moderators FPdimsam Posted October 29, 2019 Moderators Report Posted October 29, 2019 For the mission to be scored, you have to use float tackle only (match or telescopic). The place you know from video, depth 2-3 ft, hook from #2/0 to 6/0, especially I used X-series 4/0. Sunny or partly cloudy weather, daytime, peak of bites. That's all I remember. Hope it will help.

GreatGnarledOne Posted October 29, 2019 Author Report Posted October 29, 2019 using a #4 hook moving it everywhere as a last resort situation, smaller line then the vid's (also trying) and nothing... I don't understand it... I appreciate the response but I still don't understand not getting a hit? peak times and night I'd really appreciate more help since your trying... anyone on your friends list you could ask??? Quote
Moderators FPdimsam Posted October 29, 2019 Moderators Report Posted October 29, 2019 I'm sure somebody can add something else! Quote
PH_Carpman99 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Catching the Pike slasher was no easy task and also took me a number of days. Managed to finally catch it. From the left hand side of the Dock of peace you want to aim for the end of the lily pads area. A float rod must be used. Set the depth to around 100cm (39 inches). Choose a hook between 1/0 - 4/0 (a #4 is to small). I managed to catch it at night 21:44 (9:44pm). I found it easier to target the end of the lily pads by using a boat (they are in the middle of the picture, on the other side of the front of the kayak).

kdog013 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 8-9 am at 35" on a cloudy day works too casting at the first buoy on the left in this pic, same area as @PH_Carpman99 and @SabiScs Quote

GreatGnarledOne Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Posted October 30, 2019 I really appreciate the help! Finally snagged him just before 5am going into the fifth day. waited all the way from 9pm. The wait on that one is insane. good luck people! Quote
DevilShard Posted May 26, 2020 Report Posted May 26, 2020 What if I don't have Frankenstein bait what's the other options atm? Quote
PH_Carpman99 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Posted May 26, 2020 No other options (as far as I know), can only be caught using frankenbait (using (spoon) lures fished near the surface will get the pike/pickerel required). Quote
DevilShard Posted May 26, 2020 Report Posted May 26, 2020 Wait can you make the bait? I'm so confused lol Quote
Spug Posted May 26, 2020 Report Posted May 26, 2020 You need to complete this mission first. Then you can use the Frankenbait to do this one... Quote
PH_Carpman99 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Posted May 26, 2020 Yes, from your Inventory screen, select the Missions tab, scroll down until you find the Emerald Frankenbait mission, track the mission. You are required to travel (if not already there) to Emerald lake, then catch one Redfin, one Grass, one Chain Pickerel and one Northern Pike. These fish are day time feeders and respond well to small spoons (medium and narrowspoons, poppers, walkers and frog lures 1/0 - 3/0), you might need to use a Titanium leader to stop being bitten off (the leader should be the same or slightly less than your fishing line Test). Once you have caught the required fish you can then track the Emerald Pikeslasher Monster mission. You must use a Telescopic or Match float rod to catch the fish, the Pikeslasher is around 10 kg (22lbs) so using the biggest available Fenix match rod is recommended, a 2/0 - 4/0 hook set at about 100 cm (39 in)deep should work (might need another Titanium leader for this setup as well), look at the previous post of this thread to see areas and times you should target. HTH. Quote
GoodChiller Posted June 29, 2020 Report Posted June 29, 2020 @PH_Carpman99: I don't think it is still implemented if it ever was. I now have lvl 28 and never got a leader bitten of by a pike, which confused me at first. Quote
PH_Carpman99 Posted June 30, 2020 Report Posted June 30, 2020 I'd guess it depends on the size of the fish and the Test (breaking strain) of your fishing line, most likely to occur when tangling with Trophy and Unique sized fish (Titanium leaders at Michigan can be very handy). 1 Quote
GoodChiller Posted July 8, 2020 Report Posted July 8, 2020 Either its only the fish size or perhaps its related to level as well... Shortly after getting to lvl 30 I got my first one bitten of Quote

You never needed titanium on that lake before this update. See my posts about it Quote
MAJOR_RAGE Posted July 10, 2020 Report Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) I've hooked the damn thing twice now. Both times it runs to about 220 and then I loose tention and says lost or eaten bait. Never loose the hook and I'm still reeling in as fast as it can. Not sure why its happening?!? It even flipped my boat over once. Didnt know that could happen! Finally caught the damn thing!! Lol Edited July 10, 2020 by MAJOR_RAGE Quote
XDemoms Posted July 25, 2020 Report Posted July 25, 2020 Greetings all, Can uou advise if the heithen can be caught multiple times? Got it once but since then not even a bight. Thank you in advance Quote
PH_Carpman99 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Posted July 25, 2020 The Pike-slasher is a one of a kind monster and can only be caught once. Quote

BabyBoomer_60 Posted February 8, 2021 Report Posted February 8, 2021 I understand you can fish for monster fish using several rods and therefore it is possible to catch more than one of some of the monsters, but you may have to hook them before reeling one in but I am not sure on that last point - I have not done it myself. If you have not caught the white moose lake monster yet maybe give that one a go or one of the others and let us know how you get on. tight lines Quote

Because of after completed the mission you cant catch anymore or Trying to do so after the mission? Is that correct? Quote
