Fish Flingers

[mlskid]

Okay, so i've got about 350k until 90 fishing and I want to do it pretty fast, but at the same time I want to do fish flingers for the outfit and go for the tackle box as well. However I've played the game a few times and done alright i guess, but I wanted to know what are the best strategies for getting points/medals etc. I would be going for the outfit first, then the tackle boxes.

 

So I guess in other words how do i get the best points and medals possible? Do i go get all 6 areas then come back to the heaviest spot available or what?

Quickcasting is pretty important when getting big fish and additional weight, so make sure to do that. What I do is get the combinations, docks > lake > river > beach, sticking around the heaviest spot for as long as possible.

 

If you keep losing big fish due to quickcasting, you can always limit quickcasting to the time after you just caught a bit fish (there's a one-minute window after catching one in which you can't catch another one) and after your third fish. With a decent compiler, that should be good for 3.5+ medals per game and 45+ points.

For best find the heaviest and stick to it.

For medals 100% all 6.

 

If you want both clear all 6 then hit the heaviest.

 

A good tip is also to make sure you are good with the 3 step method.

For baits consider them in a circle:

Worms

Shrimps

Crayfrish

Grey Moth

Green Moth

Locust

Cricket

Maggots

 

Basically every bait is flanked by its 2 similar baits - 1 similar by colour 1 similar by type

Pick a bait at random, then move to a bait 2 or 3 steps around the cirlce

So if you start with worms you might then move to Grey Moth - this means you move to a bait that has nothing in common with the bait you started with.

Then you see what % does

-33% - worm was right

-15% - maggot or shrimp is right (the 2 similar to worm)

+15% - green moth or crayfish is right (the 2 similar to grey moth)

+33% - green moth is right

0 change - locust or cricket is right. (the 2 not similar to worm or grey moth)

3 steps max to solve bait.

 

For Hooks change to one from a different pair (pairs being standard/slim, large/double and bone/wood)

Say you start with standard and jump to large

-33% - standard was right

-15% - slim is right

+15% - double is right

+33% - large is right

0 change - wood or bone is right.

3 steps max to solve hook.

 

For weights you want to start with 2 and then swap to 5 (or the opposite)

Say you started with 2 and went to 5

-33% - 2 was right

-15% - 1 or 3 is right

+15% - 4 or 6 is right

+33% - 5 is right.

3 steps max to solve weight.

 

Of course using theme world with a fc can help shortcut solving even more and the locations with 2 fish types can sometimes bugger you up a big as itll jump between them as u change stuff.

Plus of course bear in mind each bait weight and hook is only used once per round so as combos are discovered you can narrow down your options for the other spots as well.

I always use the flinger's chat and world when I do it so no worries there. But just to clarify something... say I have two different kinds of fish at the docks, all i have to do is put in their specific bait etc and it will change to the correct fish? I don't have to move to a certain spot? -.- That would help me a bit haha.

You'll see the correctness percentage of whichever fish matches your combination best.

To be more exact you'll catch the fish type which you have the highest percentage for.

 

So if say you had 66% Cod then changed bait in a way  that made you drop to 33% on Cod but the Trout that were also in that location rose to 46% you'd begin to catch the trout instead of the cod and your last catch window would reflect this.
