Casting in the same place?

[Synergy2525]

Why does every streamer and YouTube video keep casting in the same place over and over for hours? Isn't this game about adapting and moving from location to location? This is a fishing sim right?

[Synergy2525]

I was not talking about leaving the location. Just casting to the same spot over and over. Fish move. I would never sit in one spot IRL casting over and over. If I did land a fish I would maybe stay there a few extra mins then move because all of the fish would of been caught or moved away

In some places point and cast works best. There are others where working the water pays off.

The people casting same spot all the time are probs after specific fish ie unis/trophys.
If your not hunting specimins you can cast lots of places a prime example of this is walley in ny if you fan cast all along the back of the lake you'll for sure get more fish than if you just cast at the 1 tree same goes for most places aslong as your not uni hunting.

becuase someone thought it would be a good idea to only put big fish in one friggin spot.

All the different fish at all the different areas are in a few different spots.
Once one finds a spot they tend to stick with it but that does not mean they are not in other spots.
Uni's are the most "spot specific" and even then there are more than one spot for 'em.

Nothing personnal Synergy25, but, whats it to you , if one cast in the same spot all the time ?
Can one play like he wants ?

[Synergy2525]

No offense taken. In my opinion it seems rather bland to cast only to 1 spot. Why not just remove the rest of the lake and just put a rock and some Lilly pads to cast at? I do enjoy this game though I haven't played that much yet. Thanks for the replies all. Cheers

Thats not how the game works, casting in the same spawnbox over and over again is technically the most effiecent way to catch any fish in the game. There is zero point to working the water, unless its for fun.

If that's what you choose to believe. It sure isn't always the case.

I enjoy the tournys the most. However, I have noticed casting to the same spot may work in videos, I do not believe it does in tournys. To win I think you need 2 or three "honey holes." Seems like most places, in tournys, have 2 or 3. So, when I am out fishing I look for those special places for up coming tournys.
I have seen all the videos as well. So, when I fish tourny I know wehre to cast yet I never catch what they do. This means there is something else they are not showing. Meaning there is more than 1 place.

Important to make the distinction between 'competition' and 'tourney'. Although only 1 yet to be completed tourney how they work is much more akin to regular in-game fishing where competitions are not.

In America they are called tournements or you can say competitions. Meaning, in a tourny you are competing. In any game where there are winners arre losers you are in a competition. Does not matter if it is bowling, tennis, or horseshoes all the same.

You can call semantics all you like but the simple truth is in the game they are very different.

[Ambro789]

I have to look. I have not noticed a difference it's just competing to me and the most fun in the game. I love to compete at most anything.

Its like that irl one spot outshines other spots usually once you know your area.

Going anywhere else would be waste of efficiency irl aswell.
