Feeder Fishing

[Ron548]

I have just tried the feeder fishing at St Zeno's Lakes and had quite a few problems with it.
1 The drag doesn't do anything no matter what it is set at when set at zero tension a large fish should be able to take line when it runs but it just goes into the red.
2 Caught a couple of large fish got them to within netting distance and they were just splashing about and going from side to side i couldn't net them and ended up letting them snap the line.
3 The biterate needs adjusting 10 to 20 seconds after the bait hits the lake bed you get a bite just not realistic in feeder fishing.
4 Cannot use the Rod rest with the Bite alarm on even though it is equipped can use the Rodpod by pressing U to put it down and Y to pick it up but these keys don't work for the Rod rest.
Also I think that the Tension meter Float or Feeder Depth and Distance cast numbers need to be moved this will get rid of some screen clutter the tension meter is not needed at all as there is a tension meter at the bottom of the screen and the Depth and Distance figures should be moved to the bottom of the screen that would leave a clear screen without losing any information.

tension meter your talking about in the midle of the screen can be turned off in options.and also tick the litle box for auto netting while your in there might help. hope this helps

Hi i didn't notice the box for the tension meter I have autonetting enabled but could not use the net for some reason thanks for the info

[salmo man]

just check that you have bought a net as well.you actualy need to buy it . many have made that simple mistake.

Yes I bought a net a while ago just tried feeder fishing again same problem get the fish close enough to net and the net won't deploy had to break the line again twice

I was fishing there last night. Only issue I had was nr 2 , but only in 1 specific spot. At one of the docks the netting didn't kick in. But all around the shore I didn't have a problem with netting.

Nr.1 is like that since day one on all types of fishing. The drag system doesn't work correctly and we are hoping that it will be changed.

I was fishing off a dock will try fishing from the bank thanks for the info.

There is a bug. You cast out and even though you maybe 50 meters out as soon as you strike the fish is at your feet splashing about. Of course you cannot land it as the game still thinks you have 50 meters of line in the water. So just goes red and snaps

Hiya mate :) yes too buggy for me at the moment. Pinas still suffering from runaway trains and its only those mahi or dorado 93 drag still went out to 107 meters and kept going ping. lol

The way to make the auto netting work is to turn your pole to the far left or far right without reeling but at a high setting, this will "Drag" the fish closer, then turn back towards the fish and the netting will happen. Guaranteed. Do NOT try to just reeling directly in it will snap the line. Turn the rod pull the fish closer, turn back reel a little if necessary, might not be needed, and the auto netting animation will run.

Kind Regards.

I picked this up as well. But it was never like that before and not supposed to work like that.
