Fishing Things

[Byron Walters]

Please can we either fix the door at Bait & Tackle or just completely get rid of it!

Fishing rods being a one time purchase is very unrealistic, IRL, if you were to own a fishing rod you would have to buy new fishing lines or new fishing rods when it is used a fair bit. In my opinion fishing rods should break after a certain amount of usage. Fishing rods would then not be priced so high in game. 

A new level system for fishing, just like the ones for mining and taxiing for example. 
Refer to @vSolarianpost in “suggestions” about fishing tweaks. 



One last thing, it is a very marmite subject, but an ATM! Either an ATM at the front of the shop or lockable office door with an ATM in the back. As the shop owner I don’t want to have to take out 200k+ from the shop and drive 2+ miles just to deposit it. For a more in depth suggestion on the ATM see my other post in suggestions.

+1 from me.

To make it a viable business it would be great if the lines as you say snapped or atleast the rod breaks after a certain amount of time.

This will then increase the traffic to the bait shop and increase sales.

You would then be able to actually push this as a proper business, with advertisements ect.

Fish 100% need to start rotting as I had my fish in my van for 4 months as I forgot about them.

100% fish should rot! Hopefully we see some sort of change to fishing as back in the day it was definitely the most fun and RP filled way to make money!

fishing 100% needs a overhaul, i can remember joining in september last year and meeting so many good people fishing up and down the coast, to the point i bought a house on the beach so i could have quick access to stoarage and fishing - not just sharks

now i know why it was changed to how it is now as i used to live next door to the man named after a chocolate bar, but it needs some new life pumped into fishing

i actually think the spinning mini game should be added as at the moment its RNG if you get 1 or 4 fish, but it could be set to how good you spin the dial

there is so much that can be changed to improve

ideas:

• rods can break after time
  
• needing fishing line to be replaced
  
• needing lures for diffrent types of fish or fishing areas
  
• new baits needed for certain types of fish
  
• make fish weigh diffrent ammounts or have quality variations to affect the sell price
  
• add cooking recapies that need fish to cook it (cod and chips)
  
• fishing licence to regulate it like needing a licence to fish from the dam and resiviour
  
• diffrent types of fishing rods maybe like a standard rod wont do out in the ocean
  
• adding a skill level to fishing so that you need to be skill level X to catch sharks and the big money ones

I completely agree, fishing used to be one of the best ways to meet people and not just make money. 
All of the points you have stated, I would love to see implemented, some great points there.
