FISHING TIPS FOR BASS'KEN LAKE. PLEASE TIP IN RETURN!

[Brg Leonheart]

Hello oldies and newbies. I have been fishing for a little while and I think I have found how to identify what fish you will get whilst you are fishing and before you actually reel them in.

FISH
Guppy- Weakest tug, moves slowly, Moves side to side at slow pace, little bit wider then bubble eye goldfish and also slower then them. (NOTE:When reeled in at about 25ft and lower guppies move faster to about medium fish speeds, tug is also greater).
Red- Likes going in a slightly wider arc and sometimes gets you to move your rod to the right to stop it from going off.(also likes going to the middle)
Yellow-slower then red moves towards the right side more often and doesn't tend to stray off too far.
Orange- Likes to go off to the left, moves about same speed, as red, but doesn't go as wide.

Bubble-eye goldfish- Tugging power low, quick side to side movements generally, covers a little area, but can take about the same as a guppy sometimes, some do move towards edges at a fairly slow rate.
Black- generally in middle and strays to the left side a little, some of the times(occasionally likes hugging the right side)
Gold- Loves moving towards the right side. (sometimes goes left)
Red- After a long time, a red goldfish showed that it likes hugging the border of the right side.

Bass- Medium tug, medium pace side to side movement covers and 4/5ths of space between lines most times. Occasionally moves off to lines.
Blue- Likes moving off left side a lot then pulls to the right side just as much. (sometimes starts from left side)
Brown- Likes moving to the right side after moving a bit from the left.
Green- Likes running off to the left side, sometimes when zagging can lead to it moving off boundaries to right side.

Koi- Medium tug. Moves zigzags to edges quite a lot, is normally fast,especially at the start, but slows down occasionally near to end.
Kohaku- From right likes moving to the left then stopping mid-point(sometimes), then moving even further left to off the boundaries. (occasional right)
Ochiba- Likes tugging to right quite powerfully, then moves to left a lot if tugged, then back to right (generally goes to right side).
Yamabuki- Likes moving off to the left side (sometimes to right).

Striper- Fast and vigorous, strong tug. Likes moving side to side near to edges( Covers whole distance majority of time). Does not move much, but when it does it goes to the edges!
Green- left,right, lefts at start in a tiny area, then moves off to the left very quickly
Blue- Likes moving to the right side.
Grey- Likes moving in the middle a bit then moves towards the right.(sometimes just moves in just the middle).

Catfish- STRONG tug, fast mover. Moves side to side very close to edges quickly. concentration needed to pull in. (Must pull close to edges when catching!).
Tigerstripe- Generally centralised and pushes to edges at start, though if not tugged does not go off until middle, which will need controlling.
Witchling- Likes trying to run off the left side boundary.
Russian- Likes running to the right side of boundary.


DO NOT PULL IN STUFF UNDER 25FT IF YOU DO NOT WANT JUNK MOST OF THE TIME!
JUNK
These items do not move very much or at all unless tugged
Driftwood- Medium tug. Moves to the left side quite a bit, then, likes moving towards right side a lot near end. Moves around near to edge literally about to go off. (moves at medium pace)

Old Boot- Small /medium tug, likes moving off to the right quite far then move to the left a lot causing you to move the rod to the right side, moves quite slowly. (generally moves to left side). (moves at medium pace)

Old Can- weak tug, moves faster then old boot, generally moves in a small area , but can stray off to sides. likes moving to the left stopping, then right side near edge and back to left. (normally goes off towards right side a lot).

Big Old Tire- Large tug. Slow moving, slowest junk out there, moves side to side slowly and can go off boundaries. Likes moving towards left sometimes.

Rares!
Bass'ken Rares- Like strong grey stripers (Suggested by II Sona II) biggrin
Candy Stripers- candy stripers are like green stripers a little more tug and only appear at dusk (suggested by Dr Derange) Thank you smile
Big Mouth Bass'terd- No information available at this moment sad
Mutha Guppa- No information available at this moment either :'(
( THESE RULES MOST DEFINATELY DO NOT APPLY TO DUREM!)

Also this original fishing guide will be useful for filterers, questers and others alike (please note this person has only done the older fish) http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-fishing/transcendent-s-filtering-guide/t.9241793_631/#636
Hope this all helps!
Please tip gold smile

I will update more on Bass'ken once i get a little more experience about the ways of the fishies! biggrin

[Brg Leonheart]

In my opinion Performance rod is best for Bass'ken lake, as it has the distance and strength probs as strong as strength in some cases and your more likely to get good fish then with strength. For Gambino if you aren't too bothered about getting big fish or rares go for strength rod. It is best to get these rods upgraded to +. Grade A bait is the one for me to increase chances of better fish, although if you aren't too keen on spending as much money go for D bait, which is just as good in some respects if you are a good fisherman who knows how to get the fish they want. Hope this helps smile .

there's a few things i just wanted to point out

- There is no best rod for a lake, it depends entirely on what you're fishing for and what your skill level is. in bassken I might use distance+ to fish for stripers, the guy beside me might be using performance+ to fish speedy filterbuckets since he's competing and another guy might be using a strength+ rod because she's new and needs big lines to practice. and maybe there's a crazy girl who does nothing but catch boots who finds basic rod to be the best with F bait.

- there's no such thing as rod strength, the only thing the rod changes is cast distance and the lines. you get better fish with performance because it has higher cast distance.

- strength rod is terrible pretty much unless you are a beginner who needs a bit of a crutch or a durem competition powerfisher. With it's short range you rarely will hook the big fish that really make gold and points in bino/bassken. The other fish there arent worth much. even basic rod is better than strength regular IMO.

- there's no reason at all to use D bait anymore because a single large fish pays for like 5 more A bait buckets, and you get 3 times more larges on A bait hookable. after the fishing update D bait is pretty much useless unless you WANT to hook lower quality fish but you also dont want just junk either confused With D bait it hard limits the number of larges in a bucket to 3, you can find all the numbers on which fish are catchable in gaidin's guide.

- Your rod has NO effect on rares. they come in a 1/5000 chance per BUCKET and can be hooked at all distances 1/4 times if you have a lucky bucket. doesnt matter if you're using basic or angelic rod.

- if you can find it, there was an old guide just like this written by a guy named Transcendent who listed all the lake fish and their movements from weakest to strongest. not sure where it is now though, it's super old and when i was shown it i didnt bookmark it sweatdrop

I said in my opinion for the rod etc. etc. lol and strength rod is good for some of the harder lakes cause it has a quick reel in and is great for short ranges + the fact that it is really hard to get fish from there as it is already. And mainly this post is about how to get certain fishies, but adding some other stuff to this is beneficial for people, so they don't have to look everywhere for info, and yes I know all about Gaiden's guide i looked at it for some extra stuff like fish trades and rod distances etc.

:

All rods have the same reeling speed, shorter casts mean faster buckets but crappy fish. also, junk is hooked at all ranges. Unless you're hunting mostly smalls/some mediums or powerfishing or just beginning strength rod is bad. are you saying that you're fishing smaller fish exclusively? sounds silly to me. you're supposed to use strength+ for practice then use distance+ to haul in larges or maybe performance+ when you get better. Simply fishing smalls and mediums only is dumb when larges are in such high demand. also you should look up the fish size-range cutoffs and compare them to the max cast of strength plus, unless for some bizare reason you don't like fish that are worth 10 times more. This guppy or bubblefish craze over alchemy does make those small fish worth lots though, but in a couple weeks they'll go back to normal i think.

All i'm saying is for durem that is a good idea, cause it's not exactly easy to get large fish there especially for beginners and even some midly experienced fishers. Cause you could probably catch a lot more small fish in the same time to make up for the cost of 1 large fish in durem.

Durem is hard and the larges are quite hard, so you need to use a PLUS rod. Starting with a Stength+ in durem is generally a good idea, but at some point you need to get good enough and change to a higher distance rod. can you catch 136 pebbo feeders before I can catch a single boldur that is worth the same? if you're a beginner or mildly experienced, you shouldnt be in durem to begin with because you're wasting your time working your butt off for smalls and using a rod that only has like 10ft before the large cutoff.
