Our ideas of fun vary I believe. Though fun is hard to quantitate, for me this isn't much fun. My issue is not that's it's easy or not easy. At low level it is in fact not easy to get that fish. Take off the hat, only have low level gear and foods. Well, fishing has been improved. Recently, and this is what we got. Then they fixed it a bit more to add the wriggling fish. So that is two improvements. Don't imagine they are going to bother with it again. At least at this point I hope not. Not sure we can stand many more "improvements".

Then comes the next annoyance. It matters not which bait you have if you are not in the meadows. Whatever it is, the other fish is biting. See pikes? Put on the meadows bait. No hookage. See trollfish, put on that bait and then pike jump. Don't forget ocean fish. So now need 3 kinds of bait if you're lucky. KK, got that. Then every kind and every level of fish has it's own stackage. Ok, well now we have the pole, the 3 kinds of bait and then you get a couple fish and guess what... out of room. I'm sorry, it's just dopey design.

There should at least be a fishing creel which carries all the fishing sheet. If you're not in the meadows it's not like you get to leave your weapons home and wander over there with a really free inventory.
And frankly every new higher level bait should catch all the fish up to that level. Or at least have only fresh water and salt water fish baits. Am waiting for them to have new high level poles so we have to carry multiples of them too. Sheesh, makes little to no sense to do any fishing other than in the meadows. Counterintuitive silliness.
