But on a happier note, I got 81 fishing tonight.

Hey greever im sorta on same page as you. istarted building aegis i want to say 20 days ago maybe less but either way im now 8 away of each type to turn in the stage 4 shield. what im doing is duo'ing dynamis with a friend we're building 2 relics at once, me the shield and him the scythe. once i have stage 4 done hes gonna take anything thats not M silvers for his while i use M silver for my last stage. and i fish only so that i have money in my pockets to buy things i need and stuff. so u can just solo dynamis and use WW and fishing to have pocket change or to buy more currency. either way GL with shield and dynamis is only 2 hrs of your day.

Thanks!
I'm gonna end up giving my Lu to my bf so that he can skill up w/o breaking all his halcyon rods lol. Gonna be way easier to get him an Ebisu now too!
Just turned in my items, I can't wait! Idk if I'm more excited about finally getting the shoot or about getting to pick it up so fast. More than likely just getting the shoot cuz 813 is stupid lol

Serj told me to!
The guy was pretty excited about it. He hadn't gone 0/ as many as I did, but he has 96 fishing and he watched me and Fondue get our items before he did lol
I can't get gw to find it either, it's kind of annoying.

wow really? thats actually kinda fast. id do it but id have to study up on dyanmis. I have 2 characters i can play so id probably be able to farm up all my currency by myself. biggest problem being that my second character dosent have outland access and im enjoying fishing too much right now lol.
But that will def help me out instead of fishing/crafting up all the gil ill need for the shield.

So after having a terrible streak of logging on and fishing at ~50% moon phase, I finally get on tonight and surprise it's like 95%! Got 3 skill ups back to back. Cheval Salmon and Shining Trout are awesome!

Fished to cap today, never done that before. Got a 1 1/3 ratio of salmon to trout, which doesn't seem bad. Oh yeah, and ~3 full levels. I feel accomplished. At 18 now, should I go with Nebs or stay here? Nebs and Salmon both cap at 21 right? Nebs sell for quite a bit on Fenrir, but the trout cap at 30-something. Opinions?

Depends if you want to work on gil, skillups, or just taking your time and enjoying every fishing spot. I personally did the last and just mixed it up.

Skill ups are all I care about atm.

My fishing is at 98, and I have an Ebisu, so I decided to go try my hand catching some Hakuryu in Beaucedine. I have read these should be easy to pull in, even though they are level 120. I used a Noddy ring, but did not use my Penguin yet. When I got one on the line, I was unable to reel it in, and I lost my catch because I could not reduce them past 40%. However, when I used the Penguin ring, I can catch them all day long.
It has been suggested to me by a LS friend not to use my Xbox 360 controller to fish Hakuryu, and stick to the keyboard for faster response times. (which I now can see the difference, but I wish I could use my xbox controller)
I was hoping to just use Puffin and Noddy rings. Has anybody else had to use ring enchantments or keyboards to be able catch these fish?

well two characters its best you dont use both at once because you will only cheat yourself out of potential 300 a day (each can get 150 give or take). dont need outlands to do CoP just have to have defeated diabolos CoP mission 3-5 and thats it. have both toons bst/dnc go in with one then do it with other. fish for money to buy pet food and jugs and other things you might want and @3 100's a day it takes you 49-59 days (depending if you got the final 30 coin loan) to finish your relic. If thats not win in your eyes idk what is lol.

Skill ups are all I care about atm.
Jump to Shall Shells and fish to cap each day. You can either NPC or use wind crystals on them to make a little gilz.
There are fishing topics that come up now and then but mainly are asking a question for a single answer. I know there are many fishers that visit these forums so this is an attempt to get people involved and have a little fun discussing one and only one thing, fishing!
I know Blue Gartr has a Fishing topic already, but I would like to see this community get involved a little bit and talk, since not everyone visits BG. I would love to have a topic just for fishers including veteran fishers, casual fishers, and even players just starting out and want to ask a few questions without being embarrassed about starting a whole topic for a simple answer they could not find.
I only ask that you keep any bot talk to a minimum, preferably none. [Moderator edit: No bot talk] I want this to be a place where we can discuss anything from GP items of the day to what lure/bait to use or what area is best. A quick mention of how you're doing on the lu shang/ebisu quest, how you're doing getting your fishing items from Grounds of Valor, that item you're saving your GP up for, or how much you wish you could hurt Zaldon for not finding anything in your fish for the 10,000th time. Your lucky moment streaks and the moments when you have nothing come your way and question why you started fishing in the first place. Anything that comes to mind, think of it as the random thoughts thread for fishing.
I will list a few resources that I find to be useful when it comes to fishing: BG Fishing Topic
Great Blue (Amazing Site <3, is out dated since 2008 but an amazing resource regardless)
Final Fishing (Another great resource with one of the most in-depth guides made. Out of date though.)
Fish Size Chart [ GE][ Wikia]
Chenon Diary (The site seems to be down for good though, it was a site made for Fish Ranking)
I shall add more if people provide good resources.
