A few fishing related ideas.

[Creatingabe1125]

A few things I would like to be added to ocean fishing.

Fisherman’s Guide Book

This book would 1 fishing rod and 1 papyrus similar to the cook book.

It would tell you what fish like or dislike a specific lure and by how much though you have to use that specific lure on that specific fish to get that specific information. It would also tell you how it works and could also tell you how far or precise floats are.

Family lure:

It costs 1 cookie cuttershell and 3 barnacles with the recipe being sold by pearl at level 9 for 4 bottles or 1 bottle to pearl at level 8 for 1 lure.

Its attractiveness is great if there are 4 or more fishes and if not its attractiveness is equal to the stupefying lure at 1. Its other special effect is that it keeps other fishes nearby though they won’t get too close to the fish being fished.

Other changes:

Fish bait should last a little bit longer.

The time you struggle on your rod with a fish hooked should get shorter the longer you’ve been fishing so it feels like your making actual progress and so fishing a very difficult fish doesn’t take so long.

gnarwails should respect the fish your trying to fish as they seem nice. The other 3 fish eaters being sharks, squids, and marroters are either gonna give you other trouble or don’t seem like they would care.

Really heavy and difficult fish like the dandy lionfish should drop 2 fish meats instead of 1 fish meat and 1 fish morsel when heavy.

I do wish deep ocean fish would actually drop more fish meat. Wicker already does give tonnes of fish morsels for any kind of fish related cooking, only that fishing alone in the sea seems still meager.

They should have made large fish drop not a morsel but another large fish piece. When I come back from fishing I wanna feel prepared to cook to fight a boss. Of course there's the easy route and it's doing malbatross areas or the ice platform, but the returns feel somewhat still meager mostly cause I focus on making many surf'n'turfs.

Also Dried fish jerky should become a thing imo. To prevent spoilage and to be used for future cooking.

Fish jerky sounds nice. And it would be nice to have a reason to fish those harder fish because otherwise catching those fish seems like a bad idea unless you’re trying to make a fish collection.

Also another idea that just came to my head was for those same fish to drop a big fish meat and smaller fish morsel when not heavy.

Smoked fish sounds a bit more appetizing.
