holo Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 love this game but one thing in Michigan you have a spot where you can just cast over the bush and constantly pull out trophy fish and unique pike which doesn't make it challenging nor competitive maybe you guys can fix that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dartmyth Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 when the game came out on pc all you had to do was cast at spot x with lure y at time z and you would get a uni on every lake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you love this game as you claim, you could very easily, privately email the devs at support@fishingplanet.com including a screenshot of the said spot and this matter could’ve been handled in an efficient manner. Don’t want to email? Fine, the second best alternative instead of the vague “behind a bush” location (which makes it inefficient for the devs to locate), you can include a screenshot here in the Bug Report forum. Yes people will know where it’s at, but it also can be corrected much more efficiently. I’m not saying you’ve done this purposely, but your post now amounts to a public invite for folks to come to Michigan to attempt to find & utilize an exploit point which hurts the overall experience for those of us who play the game as it was intended. I have never understood the logic of publicly broadcasting an issue such as this, especially in the vague fashion in which you’ve done so. One thing for sure - Michigan will be packed out and now the overall trust and value of the leaderboard standings will diminish in many folks eyes. It’s not my intention to come across as a jerk here, but I do care strongly about the future of this platform and I know had I come across this location you speak of I would have gladly emailed the devs to prevent the exploit from hurting the future of the game. I know from experiences in other games the long term bad effect glitch locations can have when broadcast in this manner. The usual next happening when someone makes a post like this is there will be a YouTube video with someone advertising this location as “the ultra quick place to quickly level-up, make $$$ and rocket up the leaderboard.” Last thought - are there places where you are more likely to catch trophy or unique fish? Yes, and that is fine. However if you are not exaggerating and this is a sure thing, every cast, regardless of conditions, etc., type spot please follow through and send the devs the proper info so this can be resolved quickly.

del1947 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 MY god man the spot he is referring to is very well known. There has been you tube videos for a LONG time showing you where it is. This is the way this software is the fish are always in the same spot. Not to say this is the only spot but where ever you find the fish they will always be there. The Dev know this it has been discussed ad nauseam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yessinia Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 This is not a cheat spot by any stretch of ones imagination. It is actually the worse spot to stand in because you cant see through the weeds. Take a few steps back and cast to the end of the weed bed about 50 feet out. Bingo. Several UNI pikes and countless trophy's I have caught there. This makes me a cheater? Of course not. There are actually four, count them FOUR prime spots in this area where you can catch nice pike all day long. At this so called cheat spot, is also where you stand if you want any chance to reach the UNI Muskie on a float rig due to the distance limitation of said float rigs. I hate it since, as I stated before, you cant see your float through the weeds. I haven't fished it since I caught a 54 LB UNI muskie and moved on. Pike are well known for being very aggressive. They will attack anything that moves even when they are not hungry. For pike to be active through the "non peak" hours is actually realistic. Maybe next time do a bit of research before accusing people of cheating or exploiting in game mechanics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall_Maz Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 It's not a cheat spot. It's a normal hot spot like any other hot spot in any other lake. It just looks like a cheat spot due to the developers designing the area so badly there that you have to fish through the reeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad that someone with some experience with this spot can share some accurate info and not innuendo. So indeed this is not a glitch/cheat but a normal hotspot, and as you point out there are better spots. I give you a big thumbs up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aktorsyl Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Definitely not a cheat spot. It's a hot spot due to the combination of reed beds and lilies all together in one area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it’s no different than some of the locations, deep channels, etc., I’ve been fortunate to discover in Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, and California. Thank goodness for those hotspots especially for the more finicky feeders. There are times when even these spots aren’t producing a major haul - but when they do they are very helpful. BTW: I‘m sorry if I offended anyone in my terse response to the “cheat spot” original post/poster. I had my doubts (which I expressed in said response) as to the location truly being a glitch or cheat, and I’m glad people with experience in this location could quickly clear this up that it is indeed a hotspot and not a glitch/cheat.

Fear_Rua Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Cheat Spot my rump, you don't pull out trophy or uni on every cast if your lucky you will get one unique a day fishing there sometimes two. Alaska has much higher uni rates. How rare should a unique be? Should the fish just spawn randomly on the lakes because on the lakes where I live there are defenate hotspots near certain habitats for certain fish. This is what the game is emulating. If you fish that spot you catch bigger fish. Just like real fishing if a person finds a local fisherman and the guy tells him fish 3 foot deep 100 yards off the rock wall using a green jighead and pink skirt to catch those slabs but here someone went on YouTube and got the information or they saw someone else do it. I suggest you go on about your business and play the game for yourself find your own hotspots and let others play how they do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLUS areas that cross over... are all "Cheat" spots lol Do u think that there arn't hotspots in real life where u will constantly catch fish during xxx time of day during xxx weather.........for this game to maintain some realism the appropriate fish need to spawn in the areas that there supposed to be found in during a "real" life Uni only spawn 1 per hr during there allotted spawn time....

Moderators PH_TalonAquila Posted October 12, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 any fish can be caught in spots other than the "hot spot" for the species. Granted, it doesn't happen often, but the possibility exists at all the locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebeard60 Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I've caught a couple of Walleye at the pike place and this is the same on all the other ponds/rivers. Fish do swim about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
