Fishing armored pisces to 108 requires 1 lure, and gives you more room, after that move to cave cherax, which cap at 110.

So I recently just got into fishing. So far my skill is at level 12, and ive read almost every page on here up till now...plus some on BG. I didnt even realize so many people used bots at this point in the game. I went to beaucedine glacier and /tell'd everyone fishing there and didnt get a single reply. I can only imagine how happy they were when they came back hours later to no fish.

If I was fishing, I wouldn't reply, just to throw a spanner in your /tell testing results!

Does exiled not differentiate between GM tells and normal tells?

I'm not sure. Could always fish /away so normal tells don't go through and only GM ones do, but that's suspicious.

Why do people get so butthurt over Beaucedine? If you get rid of all the botters, legit fishers still aren't going to touch the place. There's better ways to make gil if you're actually going to put effort in.

For the same reason that changing the FPS of the fishing animations is a big deal apparently.

Yo If you fish very well and you have an ebius rod, and never fail a catch. Is it possible to never lose your Lure? if if you never fail you to kill the fishes stamina.

If you break your line you will lose your lure.

considering you only lose your lure if your line breaks, no.

It's obviously not a big deal for people who bot, but for legit PC fisherpeoples, it's a convenient fix. Not game breaking, but definitely something that would have helped when fishing lik/gugru/whatever else.
Why do people get so butthurt over Beaucedine? If you get rid of all the botters, legit fishers still aren't going to touch the place. There's better ways to make gil if you're actually going to put effort in.
Hah, interesting point, actually. While I can't speak for everyone, it probably does apply to me. Although in this case, I think my greatest deterrent from fishing for profit is that gil is pretty much useless for anything I'm doing in the game. If I did need that gil, I'm not sure what I would do. Even if fishing wasn't as profitable as other things, there is a certain amount of enjoyment I get from doing it; the combination of profit and fun might convince me to pursue that avenue.

Can anyone confirm that Pelazoea cap at 100+? I've been stuck at 98 for a long time, and after over 1,000 Armored Pisces in the last 2 weeks or so without a single skillup I have been looking at other options. I tried Pelazoea for a few, but was getting the keen angler message alot, almost every other catch. As far as I was aware if you see that message alot it usually means you are over cap?

Just a random fish I looked up, but you could try turnabaligi.
Wajaom Woodlands with a Shrimp Lure.

...after about 55ish you pretty much NEED Lu Shang's unless you like breaking rods, or having fish slip off.

Currently lv.45 ish. Find I actually get decent skill ups (no-where as good as the Shall Shells though) bringing up Gold Carp.
Congratulations! 100 fishing is still one accomplishment the level cap and changes haven't downgraded yet.....
Every .x skill-up is an accomplishment for me.

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.
