Put everything back, continue on, see fish jumping, go get rod and bait, go back, no fish. Go back, put stuff away.
Find fish, get rod, cast rod, get a lvl1 perch. Rest of fish disappear never to be seen again.
Carry rod, find fish, paltry inventory full so can't pick up fish. Fish laughs and swims away.

Rinse, repeat, baited by game.

Fishing used to be fun. Not so much any more. I like the idea of a flat spot on ocean, would probably be more effective.

the fishing is really unique but its kinda weird for a game. considering our inventory space is so small and weight dependent. the fish do not stack. which is part of the system consider the higher the number on the fish the more raw fish you get. making it all very unique. notice i said unique i didn't say good.

with all the grinds for skill in this game fishing was one thing before the fishing update that didn't need a skill it was already tedious but now you have to raise your skill or forget catching large super fish.

today i saw a pike or perch i can't really tell them apart in the water as tall as my character. when i hooked him about 10 meters off shore it immediately drained my stamina and got away.

also fishing doesn't seem all that good at night for low skill areas like the meadows the fish just don't seem to care about the bait.

so yeah all in all its just a very weird change and made me very cranky because i have like 8 skill right now.
