Basically, I want to progress and spend time improving my fishing, but it sort of sucks when your daily quest can't be completed because everyone else went there and I can't wait for hours for the fish to respawn. There might be other places for fishing mud fishes, but I haven't found any yet and the other fishers I talked to didn't know either.
If nothing else, make it possible to ask Hagriphim which areas to go to in order to find the fishes he's looking for. Just the area name, doesn't have to be vnums or anything. Pleeease.

Had mud fish yesterday, got cave fish now. I could catch the cave fish, but when I fish in mud, the quest doesn't recognize them as being caught.
Something fishy is going on here.
EDIT:
Also, I went to both Morgun and Ilhavon to find some mud waters, but either I'm blind or they're really well hidden.
Brackish, clammy waters. (Dramedo Warrens.) (17651)
The stars twinkle in the clear night sky. The bubbling of water alerts you to a prime fishing hole nearby.
You see exits leading southeast, south, and southwest.
You have recovered balance on all limbs.
You reel frantically against the fish's bulk, trying to bring it closer to you.
With a mighty heave, you lift a northern blindflish out of the water.
Added a northern blindflish to your bucket!
At 1 lbs. 10 oz., this is the largest catch of a northern blindflish you've had at the Dramedo Warrens!
This is your new personal worldwide record for a northern blindflish!
This is the new hole record for a northern blindflish!
This is the NEW WORLD RECORD for a northern blindflish!

I'm literally in a room titled 'Brackish, clammy waters', and I can't catch any brackish fish.
I've searched far and wide to find brackish fishing holes, but just can't seem to locate them. Pleeease, make Hagriphim point you towards areas with the sort of fish he's looking for.
The river waters teem with 19 of a silvery minnow, 11 of a river herring, 10 of a white sucker, 14 of a dark brown crayfish, 9 of a bluefin killfish, 4 of a swamp muskie, 9 of a bronze bream, 10 of an oak toad, 7 of a bluegill fish, 3 of a rams-horn snail, a Rahn's Mace crayfish, 4 of a fang-toothed eel, 8 of a rainbow trout, 6 of a freshwater grayling, 12 of a spotted sunfish, 43 of a bighead carp, 4 of a mottled pike, a blueback salmon, 11 of a drab toadfish, an olive-hued walleye, and unfamiliar creatures.
Basically, all you see is x salmon, y toadfish, z eel, etc.
It'd be a lot more distinguishable if the fishing discern was made up something along the lines of:
You carefully investigate the area, looking for details about the fish you might find.
You are standing within river waters in the Pachacacha River.
The waters teem with 19 of a silvery minnow, 11 of a river herring, 10 of a white sucker, 14 of a dark brown crayfish, 9 of a bluefin killfish, 4 of a swamp muskie, 9 of a bronze bream, 10 of an oak toad, 7 of a bluegill fish, 3 of a rams-horn snail, a Rahn's Mace crayfish, 4 of a fang-toothed eel, 8 of a rainbow trout, 6 of a freshwater grayling, 12 of a spotted sunfish, 43 of a bighead carp, 4 of a mottled pike, a blueback salmon, 11 of a drab toadfish, an olive-hued walleye, and unfamiliar creatures.
Or, I guess, I could pay more attention.
I cant progress for my better rod and I havent unlocked anything else.
I just realized I probably shouldnt have posted this here as I have bugged it, I am sorry disregard me.
Twice a month ((or 5 times per year,)) you toss one into one of the fishing holes and collect an assortment of stunned fish into your bucket!
Why artifact? Because non-arti fishing bombs tossed into the fishing hole will completely scare away the fish from the hole and prolong the reset timer for fish to come back by 15 minutes, but the arti one will protect against scaring away most of the fish! The timer on the Arti bombs can be set to an upgradable tier from 10m, to 8m, down to 5m with timer tier upgrades done to the artifact
EDIT:
Just to give an example:
You have recovered balance on all limbs.
You reel frantically against the fish's bulk, trying to bring it closer to you.

The creature at the other end of your line gives a mighty jerk, snapping its tether and leaving you with an empty pole.
Balance Used: 1.86 seconds
The fish is at minimum endurance, the lowest distance, and the line has two 'units' left before snapping, and still the fish gets away. It just feels like the displays are off and it's super annoying to try and fish and randomly just lose your catch even though you've got some line left.
I have stopped fishing until it gets fixed because I fished for 4-5 hours the other day and couldnt even get 100 fish, definitely needs to be looked into, I have bugged it myself I believe
How about when you hand a bucket in, you get one extra faction point for a fish above 1000 ounces, another extra faction point for a fish at 1500 ounces, and yet another for fish above 2000 ounces? This would make it worthwhile to fish for the bigger fishes, particularly since bigger fish seem to pay more in gold as well (unless I'm just imagining stuff).
Also! I'd like to imagine that sometimes when you reel a fish, it doesn't get much closer to you, and sometimes, it gets a fair bit closer to you. If this is the case, you should consider replacing the 'You reel frantically against the fish's bulk, trying to bring it closer to you'-message with messages that corresponds to how much closer the fish is getting. 'You struggle against the fish's bulk and can't get it any closer' vs 'You manage to reel in the fish much closer to you' or something such. Unless I'm mistaken and each reel brings the fish the same distance closer to you.
You carefully investigate the area, looking for details about the fish you might find.
You are standing within Alaqsii Inlet.
The icy waters teem with 10 of an arctic char, a northern pike, 9 of a king salmon, an alaqsii lamprey, 7 of a broad whitefish, and a rainbow trout.
You sense that you will be unable to catch any of the fish that remain here. Your Fishing ability is not yet advanced enough!
You have fished here before.
Equilibrium Used: 1.86 seconds
You are wielding:
Left hand : a Master Gulleye's Rod.
Fishing 100% ######################### Transcendent
That being said, it seems a bit weird in ice and rivers (non-oceans with mid-sized fish) and the messages can indeed be a bit confusing, esp. the difference between a fish struggling madly and wearily. I'm not really noticing any difference in how hard a fish pulls between those states, seen weary fishes pull 2 ticks of tension at once pretty often.
Phendegwyn: Wipe!!!
People have said it'll be same hole per area but, For them which are not it'll be easier to see.
(posted this also in the gmcp section as didnt realise a fishing topic was about, sorry))
Also, how do you check the world records? I keep getting NEW WORLD RECORDS but can't find how to see what other world records are around. Or, Can we get that function if not already?
I will say, the scroll is a bit lacking in information. It doesn't even mention who to turn the bucket in to, which took me a bit to figure out. All in all I rather enjoy the system, it just feels so bare bones for it having been out for so long, which is sad.
Can anyone illuminate me as to where the crap all the Red Snappers have gone?
(and please, I'm at a point of frustration where I'm not wanting silly answers. I want seriousness in this. It's frustrating how quickly people jump to silliness or sarcasm when you genuinely ask for help after spending 2+ hours on trying to find one stupid fish.)
The Beryl Sea (a red snapper)
Shallows of the Beryl Sea (a red snapper)
Beryl Sea near Raim (a red snapper)
Ocean near Ollin (a red snapper)
The Tasur'ke Sea (a red snapper)
The Western Ocean (a red snapper)
I've had decent results in all of those areas.
What kind of waters are those? Are they Sea-type waters?
I just got the Gulleyes rod. I'm noticing that fishing has gone from possible with a lot of leading with the Ilmenite rod.. to losing almost every fish of large-to-decent size there. And in trying every method I can with leading and reeling, I've come to an idea.
@Razmael @fishingcelani
If FISHING LEAD is going to cost us distance... why not let it ALSO reduce TENSION? By adding in a method to REDUCE tension. You basically can basically leave the difference in rods as "how big a fish this rod can catch" (since a 500 lb shark can only be caught by a Gulleyes rod AND the arti rod apparently), AND it can also affect how fast tension builds which makes the game of leading-and-reeling a lot easier with higher-ranked rods. Or harder if you really want to go the opposite route.
