Can't fish

[yodellingjess]

I have the fishing rod and i should be able to click left mouse button to start fishing at fishing spots, but nothing works. I'm assuming the fishing spots are where the ripples show up. What am i missing? Is it a bug?

Did you equip it from the radial menu? Is it not working on all the nodes you've come across?

Other than that, not sure what could be stopping you, unless there are just certain nodes on the map that are bugged.

I have hit about 4-5 nodes and my character wont cast... it was working yesterday. Did the update today break fishing?

I just fished a few minutes ago. Gotta admit I am not fond of the mini game, and hoping we get an option to turn off the fishing mini game.

I thought so as well, but I think after I teleported to another area it started working again. Though it could have been from sleeping instead, not 100% sure.

Fishing mini game is REALLY tough.

I've tried fishing at several spots and have had no luck, it's not casting at all. =/

Hmm, I've found it to be a lot easier than Stardew Valley's to be honest. Haven't lost a single fish.

I'm on mouse and keyboard and I pretty much just rotate my mouse to keep my cursor near the centre within the triangle, with a bit of leading if it is moving drastically.

And per the post, its seems sometimes that spots are showing the visual cue for being able to be fished, but not being fishable. I tend to have it happen on the spots beside the jetty of the lake just south of the farm, and the one by the camp on the south side of the same lake. I haven't tried a save/load yet to see if that changes anything, but maybe try that?

The fishing mini game seems a little hypnotic.

Can't fish either! Worked last week for me but now only randomly om spots I could fish before. Edit: you can only fish in the little circles! Feel so silly. Look for those and you are golden.

Fishing is horrible without a mouse
