Sander Baggersee Lake

[SidePocket08]

This has to be the worst lake in the game for catching fish. I was on mission 2 and needed to catch the European eel to complete the mission. I went from 9 at night to 5 in the morning with out a single bite. And I was not going to spend another 2000.00 to stay. I only made about 3000.00 on the fish I caught and what I got from mission 1 so I lost money. I do not think I will be going back to complete the missions, Just not worth the time or reward you get for the missions. Maybe some of you have had better luck with this lake? But it gets a big thumbs down from me.

It's one of my favourite lakes, we all like different things, if you change your mind and need help with the mission and making good cash give me a shout, the silver and big head carp are where the money is at to be fair, on that lake anyway

I do agree with Benji here. Carp are the ticket. I spent 2 days there one afternoon boating through the main lake looking for some real definition in structure. Except for some Northerns and a number of nice Zander by the industrial area the Roach and Goby seemed predominant. And even the trophy Goby of .3 pounds only pay $34 and 33 exp. Trophy Roaches of 1.2 pounds about $94-94 and 39 exp.  Unique Roach 1.9 pounds paid $163 with 113 experience.

The two biggest fish I pulled that day was a common bream of 18.195 that paid $1411 and 425 exp and a Unique Zander of 10.69 paying $1383 and 558 XP. Next largest was a trophy Zander of 6.94 paying $874 and 320XP.

Wouldn't put it in my top three, but it was a different experience. It got to be fun when I quit trying and decided to play with the sonar to find fish. When I hit trophy Zanders of 4.1, 5,7 and 6.9 then the unique it got to be fun. I fished the carp lake at night which was the best fishing I had seen and moved to the far left pier toward morning where I took a Unique Prussian 3.9 $336 and 150 XP.

Gear up for carp and you'll be fine.

Sander Baggersee is a great place, the one issue I have is the shear size of the place and how long it takes to get to some of the more remote locations.

Really needs more spawn points.

I am trying to catch every size of every fish at every lake and I'm stuck on the young wels catfish at Sander Bagersee. I have all of the other sizes, but could use tips on bait, or location, or anything else that could help. Thanks

Skullhunter was also having trouble tracking them down (a month ago), found one in the end.

Yes it was difficult at first but I wasn't casting out far enough.  Spawn at Sunrise fishing and cast straight out as far as you can.  I used a #2 hook with duck mussel meat.  Sorry I didn't see your post sooner been fishin the new map.  Thank goodness for PH_Carpman99 :D) Good luck.

Hello.

Lake Sander Beggesee is one of the coolest places, but I have a problem with it. I think that the density of fish there is too low for such a large reservoir, or the frequency of bites needs to be improved, because it often happens that you have to wait a long time to catch a bite in good places (2-3 bites throughout the night). I wonder if it will be possible to catch something better by trolling, by the way, the option of purchasing rod holders for the boat would be highly recommended (we are talking about bottom or float rod holders).

[DannyWilson]

Use Chum to increase your bite rate YouTube has lots of recipes you can get for that place in that place is famous for getting oversized fish with a good mix

[ivanlobo77]

I know that baits increase bites, but not all fish can be baited for, e.g. eels, zander or pike. But apart from this, in such a huge area of water there should definitely be more places with a good frequency of bites and additional space for going out by boat. And once again, a request to the developers to include fishing rod holders on boats and take into account the appeals of players.

[DannyWilson]

There is two boats in the game that have rod holders on them and the eel is one that you can Chum for there is people winning comps by chumming for eels
