How to gain xp from level 5?

Hi guys

I'm level 5 and would like to level up quick. I own the Pro Angler Sport Bundle.

Any ideas how I can do it?

Thanks in return

Good luck to lvl up "quick"...
I mean... it's all about you catching fishes... so the more you play, the quicker it will be...
So go catch the fishes that brings you in the most XP at the faster rate...
Sidenote... sometimes it's not necessarly the fish that nets you the most XP per fish, but how many fishes in 1h that will net you the most XP...
So hit the correct fishing peak times...

That said, at your lvl... the usual quick grind is... catfish in Missouri... or buffalo in Texas
But as you can catch a quite fair amount of trophies catfishes in Missouri... I'd say way to go...
I'd skip New York, then aim for trouts in Colorado (trophies and some uniques), then trophies and uniques redear in North Carolina, Trouts again in Oregon, then up to you... Alaska with maybe a too light gear, or safe quick fishing in Florida...

Do not forget that you have achievements, that when you reach step 3 (gold) you get... gold, and of course at every step, credits and XP... so if you go after them it may help you lvl up quicker too, but that goes aside of "most XP/fish" as you need to diversify

Now if you're up for a little thinking, maybe get yourself the pinned ubersheet project, and go figure out the best times to fish for trophies and get the most uniques you can before January 9th

Last note... many of the guys that I met that wanted to "grind" already stopped to play 3 weeks later... because grind is not fun... and sometimes small fishes are indeed fun... but more an amusement.

Thanks. I grinded 2 levels in Colorado on white sucker and now I'm level 11. Trying for the trophy and unique trout now :)

NC is a great early game XP place. Cali is great also. Its been so long and so much has changed since I was low level. Like what level those spots open. Colorado is very grindy, catch the same fish over and over. Cali you need a good setup like 20lbs. Land them all day. 1500cr-50-100gold per net "110lb" per day 2500-4000 Xp per day. NC is like 1000-1200cr and 50gold maybe for the same net and 1500-2000 Xp per day. I just got back to Mi. So far the best yet 2500- 5000cr and 150-250gold per day and 3500-5500 Xp per day. FL is better then Colorado.

North Carolina is lvl 11 so right on spot with OP's level, and honnestly it's tons of fun...
probably my low-mid level preferate

Cali is lvl 18.
So now the usual is North Carolina -> Oregon -> Florida or Alaska (currently that is for Alaska, some have a feeling it may go higher lvl after update) -> California.

And Yeah ;-) colorado' s white sucker was inddeed a solution... one I forgot as I'm not much of a bobber man

That said, if Alaska go higher and Florida stays on same level conversion, Florida may be tons of fun with new tarpons...

Even if the levels do go up the players should jump in level also. The Xp amounts are suppost to change and also get easier to level. So level 10 would be like 15 or more 'maybe'. We all know the deal. with game development thinks change and we always get something different. Anyway it should help the lower level players.
