[Welderman]

I`m a new player, level 8, i`ve lost a couple of fish because i didn`t have a net, i have now bought one, but can`t seem to equip it and use it? any pointers please?
i`ve asked in multiplayer chat, but no one has replied,

any help much appreciated,
regards.

Auto equiped and will pop out when needed then looks like a mini net game or something or check the auto net in options like i did.

and stand close as you can to the edge your fishing you wont fall off lol

It's equipped once you've bought it. When you've reeled in a big enough fish and it's close enough to you, the game will tell you to press E to use the net. W and S moves it forward and backward, R and F raises and lowers it.

there is a tick box in settings called Automatic Netting, I suggest this due to about 12 fish I've lost due to glitchy buggy net issues.
good luck
