Explain fishing?

[LittlePennyPaw]

Could someone explain the fishing mechanics to me please? I've got quite some questions as the game does not have a proper tutorial for many stuff....

1. Does different water (sea/stream) have different fishing species? Does season matters？
2. How does the mini game work? I get the item that receives the most "pin balls"? Can I get more than one items from one fishing attempt?
3. Again the mini game, what's the bubbles of different colors for? I've seen blue ones and purple ones.
4. How to use baits? Are they applied automatically and randomly? Are they supposed to be consumed after only one fishing attempt?
5. I saw cards that give increased fishing chance, etc, and there's a 3-Days effective time on it. If I do not activate the card (means drag the drop the card to "Activate" slots), can I save the card for later use? Or the countdown will still be ticking?

I have not tried cooking yet but I assume I will have as many questions about it

1) For early access fish type and size is based on size and type of the bait, plus rng elements, locations, season, timing, weather etc will be added as a part of early access, as well as more features
2) Most balls in the bottom wins, if tied, rng decision
3) bonus balls, bonuses, some don't break until hit multiple times, etc
4) Bait is auto equipped according to order in inventory or backpack, the losing bait is rng based on various factors, can usually reuse bait multiple times
5) Card is not consumed until put on active slot, and then its active and the card is in effect and the timer goes down
Thanks for your support <3 <3

Appreciate the quick and clear explanation, it will be great to maybe add some of these descriptions into the game haha.
Btw, is it possible to get more "increase fishing chance" cards? I know mission completion gives cards, is there any RNG-based card dropping in game?

<3 You can buy cards on 2nd floor vending machine of arcade, get cards leveling up skills, discovering new locations, can drop rarely from mining, from opening chests, and some other places

Yes, this was a recent change based on player feed back. Now we can choose what bait we want to use or if we want to use it.

Hey ixsach ❤️ You can select your fishing rod on your hotbar by clicking on it, then you’ll see a little fishing rod slot popup on the bottom left, open your backpack pickup your bait then drop it on that bottom left slot, then when you use your rod it will use that.

How do I equip bait with the controller?

Equip fishing rod using L1-R1 bumpers. Open your bag, use right analog to hover over the bait you want, hit square (on ps4) or whatever button is on the left for your controller, to pick up bait. Use right analog to hover over backpack, click square (or whatever) to close it. Use right analog to move bait to the circle on the left hit square.
