Bouncing fish problem!

[DanoUK]

I have a problem that affects me when retrieving long lure casts. At ranges between 170ft - 90 or 60ft depending, the moment I start my retrieve (whichever one I'm trying to do) my lure icon bounces from top to bottom like some kind of spasmodic grasshopper in a metal box at 100miles per hour!
What's weird is that the messege will show 3 dots for lift & drop, stop & go etc, and fish will still take the lure as normal.
Once the lure reaches a certain point, 90-60ft depending on location...the icon goes back to acting completely normal!

I've just hit the Everglades and this is happening on nearly every cast. This, combined with that f*****g bird are driving me totally nuts!
Anyone have an idea what's causing this problem and have a fix? I'll be eternally grateful thanks.

That lure behavior is indicating that you are pulling through weeds / grass / lilypads. Just go Slow and you can nab you're bigger fish coming out of those areas.

It's not a problem or bug. Shallow water is causing the phenomenom. Not much space between surface and bottom. That's why the lure is dancing between top and bottom. It doesn't matter, fish will bite anyway. I hope I could help. Happy fishing!
Ps: The bird is from hell, use a shotgun! ;)

Hey!
We really have things to do in the hydrodynamics sphere. It is well-made but not as perfect as we would want it.

@ Jeff - Ah ok Jeff, thanks for the info.

@danOwar - Happy to know my PC isn't dying lol. Thanks for the help.

@Alex - If it's as the guys say then it's my mistake and not the game's. No problem mate thanks. :)
