A plea to our Steam community - please share the spots!

[Cyber_Chupacabra]

As we all know fish not always appear in the same spot/time all the time so I think it would benefit everybody if we keep sharing locations/catches among each other here on Steam forum and on RF4:
https://rf4game.com/forum/
There are many passionate players in this community but I`m sad to see little to no activity on Steam forum so please share your expiriance if you want, I make sure to share any good spot/method if I have one.

Can't agree more with this. I was looking at the offical forums the other day. The English forum had 7 pages of posts for Volkhov lake I believe it was... The Russian forum had like 127.

We need to start doing better, here on steam, on the offial forums.

Heck, I have even been putting work into the Fandom wiki for the game trying to better organize it and add more data, it comes with a message board as well and is open for anybody to contribute to.

Pinned this topic. Please share your spots/setups here.

A spot I picked up off the Russian forums... Volkhov River 127:90

Aim for the channel with a middle-weight cast for bottom fishing. You can also spin / float fish toward the cover on the left.

It can be a hot spot for bream at times, but the spot has a huge variety that it is never dead like other spots. You can hit chub / roach / mussles / perch / pike / Ide / vendace and more with regularity. Caught a trophy mussel there the other day, just landed a trophy roach as I was tying this.

Try a variety of baits, grubs, maggots insect type baits do seem to work well in the narrow channel.

Kouri lake:
(day feeder)120:114 - SW in 10 m hole 80%-120% -Meyfly larva, nightcrowler
(day spinning) 120:114 - S->SW, (for me good results "Hunter 1-010", "Hunter 1-003" and "Hypnotic 20-008"
(night) Cursed island - 75-90% in the 15 m hole, Fish pices, nightcrowlers

[SinobiSan]

Volkov:
71:100 - in 6,5 m hole. 60-80%.. bait rate is ok... Pea porige, Redworm, bark beetle larva.
Nightcrawlers (can get Burbot or Catfish)

[SinobiSan]

Volkov:
71:100 - 6,5 m hole 60-80%... Redworm, Caster, Pea porrige.. (mostly rouch 350g - 1,1kg)
groundbait - Bream mix, Mix-"Pea barley"+"Fly maggots"and "Milley porige"

Bighead Carp seem to be going strong at Sura. Found it a good alternative for those in the same stage as me, where you can access Sura but do not have the equipment to fight sturgeon / catfish on a regular basis.

Last night I caught the all time USA record at over 36kg!

Feeder fishing along the banks B6 - B7 fishing the river channel between the island and the main land. Best spot was near the campfire, will try and get the exact coords later. There is a little point that sticks out where you can cast straight south off the edge of some reeds.

Nightcrawlers, Halibut and grass boilies seem to work well. I can't make grass carp GB yet, that would be ideal, but regular carp isn't working too bad.

Update: 28:76 is the point you can stand on and cast just off the reeds into the channel.

8m hole at Sura good for small sturgeon 4-12kg, sterlet, occasional wild carp and big heads, cats come and go.

Cast from dry cape, needs a full power cast , feeder rod use basic bottom rig and pva, a carp rod would prob be able to cast a feeder and bait if you don't have pva unlocked.

Fish pieces, crawlers best baits, others work, try red worms for a few bream and small bream species.

Burbot at night too.

Gb for sturge I use dartaktv recipe: rapeseeds, dried crustaceans, zebra mussels, clay, and caviar smell. Not cheap but pays off if you get a few sturge and sters.

Volkhov 122:13 (G:10) bottom fishing, lots of Vendace on Bloodworm, worm, and other larvae. Also some mussels and crayfish. Very active

For relatively new players and especially spinning addicts, the Winding Rivulet has a sweet spot - as you all know - the Never Outland. I'm not much of a spinner, but I found this spot to be the most succesful on this map, for me at least. There is a downed tree across the river, right in the edge, you can't go further, coords: 107:87.
I'm not saying that this is the way you should spin, but this was the most succesful for me.
Try to cast your lure right under the tree, with retrieveing speed of 20. I found that the lures that work best are the spinners and spoons. I had very little succes with jigging. The Heaven Creek series works best, especially the Elegance Spin 1-009 (chub between 1 - 2.8 kg, ide 500g - 1.8 kg, and the ocasional asp 400 g - 1.5 kg), almost every cast resulting in a fish, especially early morning or early evening. Next most succesful lure is the Syberia Dragonfly Stream 4 -001, that's if you like pike, almost every fish caught with this was a pike, again, every 2-3 casts resulting in a fish (500 g - 3 kg). From the spoons I had most succes with Heaven Creek Hypnotic 7-004 (chub, mostly), Kiruuna Hunter 3-001 and Kiruuna Veikko 14-001 (pike, mostly).
For the feeder and float fishermen this spot is also a good one. I cast my feeders at the same spot, right under the tree. I caught some nice catfish (6.7 kg) here with fishpieces also burbot (1-2 kg) river mussel and crayfish. If you don't have fishpieces try some redworms or nightcrawlers with the same result. I had some nice chubs, ide and common carp (1.5 - 3 kg) with corn on bottom and float, too.

Again, this is my experience, just sharing.

Have fun and see you in the game.

Trying this area myself and it's very productive.
Had one trophy gibel and one trophy crucian, plus loads of others with tick marks.
Using set up as advised above.

NOTE WELL. These boilies are out of stock at mosquito in these sizes!

Just finished.
I ended up with 3 trophy Crucians and 1 Trophy gibel, in about 90 minutes.
Made about 150 silver so good money for a lower level player :)
