Any luck with the Fish Trap?

[Freaklobo]

I've tried utilizing the new fishing trap in two different spots, with two different kinds of bait. I haven't had the trap actually catch a fish, and I'm unsure if I'm doing something incorrectly.

Anyone been able to capture a fish with the new trap?

tried the eel in new england but also after several days i had no luck

[mr steal ur spell]

zero luck on any of the traps I've laid out, all had bait, and I've received the baited fish from that body of water with a fishing rod.

Hmm, I've gotten fish from it but I only tried the fountain in the hub area and concluded it wasn't worth bothering with since you can only get one fish at a time.

I just tried in Canaan and no luck after several days.

so is the fish trap a scam?

it has two item slots and one has to be filled with bait, so even if you get a fish you have to empty it to get another one.

Plus it take damage every time it catches a fish. It needs a buff before it's worth crafting.

It didn't take long at all for me to catch my first fish with the trap. I caught maybe 3 or 5 fish with the fishing rod in the meantime. Either I was extremely lucky or the trap might be bugged for some people.

Judging by the mixed results people have been having, this is starting to sound like a bug or miscommunication on how the fish trap is meant to work.

I have tried the swimming pool on Level 2 of the Office sector with both antefish and portalfish bait. Both waiting for about thirty minutes, with no result. I have also tried the same baits for about the same amount of time in the Far Gardens, still with no fish caught.

If there's a bug with it, it's almost certainly related to the same issue with batteries occasionally not charging as intended when a zone is unloaded.

[Freaklobo]

I have very quickly started catching fish in a trap by moving it closer to my base. It certainly seems Monokuma was correct. If the fish trap is placed in an unloaded area, it will not catch fish.

i finally caught a fish. I had it in the fountain right at the start of the game filled with portal fish bait. When i got close a moonfish appeared inside (it was 16:00). For reference, i have 100 hours in this save and i have beaten the hydroplant at about 70 hours
