Fishing is extremely difficult in this game. Does anyone else agree here? i think the fishing is like stupid hard, in fact. Or is it just me? anyone have any tips... perhaps a strategy for reeling them in using a mouse? because that bar just bounces all over the place when i attempt to reel one in. ive tried clicking fast, holding button down, steady clicks with longer pauses.... no matter what i try its nothing but fail after fail. like i said, its just stupid hard. the mechanic needs to be re-evaluated by the creator imo.

A: Fishing is hard if you use your brain. It is almost about pure skill and luck so basically you need to do it many times to be good at it.

Each fish has its patterns afftected by Luck.

Good Luck will keep fish on easy patterns and High fishing skill will legthen your fishing bar.

Some patterns are stupidly difficult and you should just let it go while some patterns just let fish stay at the bottom long enough for you to pick them up.
