Help a fisherman
I have spent a good time looking at tutorials for fishing in this game

Even when I reel them with high stamina, I fail.
I walk back to get them to shore but even then sometimes it fails

Most annoying part is when I reel them in, they stay stationary in one spot until all my stamina is depleted.
I have tried the classic fisherman technique of not fighting it when it 'resists', but even that wastes my stamina and I lose it

Yes I have eaten high stamina meals, things that would be suitable for dangerous biomes like the swamp and even the plains.


Is it over for my fisherman career?

Fishing is easy once you get the hang of it.

First is fishing should be done somewhere safe like on a boat in the water or at a walled in pond (still subject to raids.) This is to keep waves from making you swim which causes you to lose your bait. You always get your bait back if you reel it all the way in (reeling also gives skill.)

Increasing skill can reduce stamina drain, but it still aint going to be enough to make catching higher fish easily.

Your fishing when starting out should be focused on this based on their stamina drain:
0-10 pickerel
10-25 pike
25-35 trollfish
Past there it gets really hazy with the stamina drain for the types of fish. Especially because you start running into higher quality fish (1 to 5) which give fillets, but drain more stamina.

The thing to do figure out the distance you can safely reel the fish in and start from there. For example with about a 20 skill you can reel a pike in from 15m without running out of stamina, so if you casted to 25m, reel it in to 15m, If you lose the catch just sit and wait for that fish to bite again (if it aint moving then jiggle the line a bit til the fish moves.)

Now the big trick a lot of people do not realize, you can throw the fish back and catch it again. Which is really good for fish like Giant Herrings (abomination trophy) which gives Iron ores and chains when catching them, or anglerfish (lox trophy) with soft tissue. Make sure you are reeling the fish ALL the way in and not just click grab because it got close or landed in the boat because that bypasses the special loot table.

Now for stamina food, not sure what you call stamina food because not sure what is available to you. I personally prefer Onion Soup, Bread, and Turnip Stew because that gives like 230 stamina total.

Now if you got a bunch of extra fish, then use the cauldron to make fillets then throw the fillets on the fire to make them into charcoal. One hearth with two racks can do 10 at a time.

If you get to it, the fishing hat is worth it, it takes 1 of each type of fish for quality 1 that gives +20 fishing and +20 swimming.

Use the Karve and troll fish, lol, that works on a few levels, lol.

Use a boat and position it as close to the fish spawn as possible. Then cast the line as short as possible so you don´t have to reel in that much. Use the best stamina food that you have and you should be able to reel in almost all fish. Also when the fish is almost completely reeled in grab it by pressing e to save a little bit of stamina.

But not always? I've lost some and even had the line snap when dragging the fish onto shore (not reeling) but this usually results in securing the catch.

Horrible advice because grabbing the fish like that skips the rare loot rolls for catching it.

The most important thing about fishing is to cast your line close to you. As in 10-12m maximum.
That should leave you with enough stamina to reel the fish in, to fight it while reeling in and to catch it eventually, and still have some stamina left.

The distance is going to depend on your skill level, the fish type, quality of the fish, and your max stamina from foods.
You can catch any fish with any skill if you can reel it in before stamina runs out. The quality 5 fish I have caught drain 200 stamina in about three seconds. So you basically can only get about 3m per bite.

For example, in my fishing pond (where I throw in Giant Herring to catch them for iron ores) I can do 15m and catch them for about 150 stamina with a 45 skill (this is ignoring the whole fighting back mechanic.)
Meanwhile if I go to the Northern zone I can only do about 5-8m with the Northern Salmon.

Oh I was not aware that you can get rare stuff like iron. I only got useless stuff like flint so far so I didn´t bother with it anymore. In this case I´ll avoid doing this from now on.

In real life fishing is easy and hunting is tough, In this game its backwards.

Use this seed if you want, has a decent size pond near the start, NNE of spawn point. The seed is: QEM26YwG I use it for fishing mostly for bonus resources, I catch any of the fish on one world where I have explored a lot, & transfer the fish to the pond world, where I can fish in peace & gather extra bonus resources from the fish at the same time.

From spawn, head North North East in a straight line & head through the woods. Keep going until you find a large open field with a few Oak trees. Keep heading north from there, there should be a small wooded area, head past the treeline, until you find a boar stone & fishing pond, the fish there spawn back frequently & in good number at both ends of the pond.

Set up a shelter there, with fire so you can fish from the side of the pond. ezpz fishing.

Remember when you start out to just catch easy perch or Pike in the Meadows. Depending on your skill level, just cast small & wait for the fish to bite the bobber, at that exact moment, reel in to hook, then reel in all the way when you are confident.

Having a fire & shelter helps for the buffs they provide. Fire, resting, rested, shelter, Fishing Hat (if unlocked, you didn't really specify) and your 3 best stamina foods is all you really need to catch fish easily at this point.

Keep as many Lox & Abomination trophies as you can, they make the bait for the best loot drops from fish. Good luck with the fishing. :steamhappy:

Yeah
Trollfish give troll hide and copper ore.
Giant Herrings give iron ore
Tuna give Onion seeds
The fuling trophy ones give barley and black metal
Anglerfish give soft tissue.

Yeah lots of people have that habit of just grabbing the fish and skipping the loot roll.

As I stated earlier, I have a fishing pond I made and I throw the Giant Herrings back into the pond to catch them over and over for mining iron.

You can drink stam pots while you have a fish on the line. So if you're having trouble with a big one, drink a pot before you stam meter is empty then keep reeling.

I usually cast my line as short as possible, like 3m, and even then I reel it in down to 2m so that it will pull the biting fish straight up once it bites.
So the best setup would be:
-stand on a boat or pier right above a fish school
-eat good stamina food for 200+ total stamina
-cast the line as short as possible (<3m)
-only reel in when it's not fighting back
-have a big stamina potion on a hotkey for consumption if you run low before catching it
- if you want the special loot chance, reel all the way in and don't press E on the fish

that way you should be able to catch any fish of any lvl, even if your fishing lvl is still very low

BTW: I read somewhere that you can use pufferfish in bathtubs as traps to poison mobs that fall into trenches. I haven't tried it yet, but if it works it would be like a much better version of stakes, possibly useful for afk spawner farming because mobs don't attack fish as fish aren't attackable entities
