Do Tricolored Carp till 27 then move to Shall Shells till cap. Then go to nash until the 90 range and finish on cave cherex. This is the path I've taken.

You can do GP for your current rank than rank up however you can only obtain as high as the next ranks GP value like if its 1200 than rank up and its 2400GP for max than you will be able to trade in enough for that extra 1000GP just did this myself

does fishing skill generally change bite rate of fish?

Barnacles and mussels can be fished up and are used in the new quests, so I think on Shiva the Mussels go for around 10k on the AH. Haven't seen anything npc for more than 2k.

Maybe that's what the rumor was on not on NPCing but AHing...

Does anyone win Pelican Rings using Fish from the AH, or is it unlikely someone will sell a winning fish?

Anyone have experience fishing Pterygotus with a Composite Rod? Wiki says it won't break but everyone else is saying Ebisu and Lu only. Getting tired of making Crayfish paste every day for my mule :(

Pterygotus are fine with composite+lugowrms. I skilled from 75-99, then until I finished my ebisu with this, no breaks.

It's possible, as I used to sell fish on the AH for the contest and some of my buyers would win.
However, please note that crafty/profit-hungry sellers will most certainly place all of their crap fish on the AH before placing anything competitive up. E.g. If I had 100 fish, I would sell the worst one first, and every fish after that would get slightly better. You would notice this trend after each purchase, and realize that if you ever wanted a winning fish, you would have to buy your way up the chain.
It's better to check bazaars next to Zaldon if they are available, because you will know exactly what you are getting.

whats everyones reel in rate on Matsayas? His skill is 109 atm, he has Stall, Waders, Fishing Smock, other gear and torque (Rings are Albatross and Puffin) and yesterday he got 16 fish in about 200 pugils... while i was holding the 5 Monster-Fish
Are you fishing up the items so they don't consume the bait? I get about 8-10 matsya with 60ish pugils. 98 fishing atm
wait wait.. when you fish up items you dont use the bait? haha ok that explains the bad rates we have and why all your numbers are higher.... good to know :x thx alot for the information. Never really cared about items/bait before so didnt know lol
Can anyone explain what this is all about? I couldn't find the post where it actually says how to do this lol

The steps required to fish up Matsya are simple but a PITA. You go and fish up Cave Cherax. Have Zaldon gut them and when you get like 100ish Dwarf Pugils you go to Vunkerl Inlet and start to fish up Matsya. If you are doing this legit then you need to have Mooching KI. I'll refrain from suggesting otherwise. You can then have a mule or friend grab and hold any monsters you fish up. Having someone hold all 5 monsters will eliminate them from you being able to catch them thus you keep more bait. At this point you should really start catching everything that is on your line. Items,if caught, will not consume your bait but will if released. That is pretty much it. Good luck.

A Little Help pls. Have played for many years, fishing skill is 58 and I have been fishing up Gigant Octopus, Bastore Sweeper and Breams w/o any armor/ring/item help except my Lu rod,for cooking craft. BUT... recently I'm not getting any skillups fishing in Vunkerl (S)at all, even tho I'm 58 and successfully pulling up lvl 90-100 fish. Why?

Hi all! I'm currently trying to catch Takitaro for fish ranking (smallest weight) and I can't seem to catch any lighter than 351 Pz. Is there some hidden factor to catching a certain size of fish (skill, location, bait, time of day, etc) or is it purely random?
Wiki says that 296 is the lowest, I was hoping for one to be <300 at least as I don't think I have much chance with the one I have. I'll keep trying though. :)

What's the best place to catch Bastore Sardine with a Sabiki? I feel like Port Windurst hooks junk 75% of the time and Jeuno is always Yellow Globes.

You've just hit one of those random stumps. If you don't need the Sweepers I would completely change spots to isolate fish that are above my skill only. For fishing + cooking Talacca Cove is a great spot (Bream, Sole, and Grims).

I would go with the Smock since it would increase your fishing bite rates.

Is it a significant difference? I know the fishing skill would mean I get more haks per minnow aswell as a slightly better bite rate

Has there been any data compiled yet n fish in new areas? for instance skill ranges and such.
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.
