I don't find myself to be a horrible fisherman(woman?), but I can't for the life of me catch anything in Durem. I use grade A bait and Performance Rod Plus. Any tips?? gonk

Durem is all about timing: you have to either be quick with your reactions, or you have to know when the fish will move. It really helps to learn how to filter via the counting method. Even though you probably won't be filtering for the most part, it will help you overall in Durem. Shirlox, the resident moderator over fishing has written a guide on filtering at all the lakes; it is here where you will learn about counting in Durem.

In addition, I wouldn't really recommend the performance rod for durem, if it's your first time fishing there; the strength rod plus is a better choice.

Hope I helped, good luck fishing, and I'll see you at the lake!

Pwny gives a lot of good tips, but I just wanted to add one opinion here. If you're having trouble adjusting to the difficulty of Durem then focus first on catching everything that you hook including junk. First, since they are a challenge to catch for most newer fishers, they will continue to improve your fishing technique and help you adjust to Durem. Second, knowing how junk moves will help you filter them later if/when you decide to start filtering. 4laugh

donno how far you got into it, but i have one more tip for you... try with DRP since its lines are slightly wider than PRP's and also, it gives you chance to see what you hooked and time to adjust to its pace.
like stated before, it all about patterns and shift timing

if all you want to do is catch anything.. then go for level F bait

I find that A bait is like caffeine for the fish(competitive)
and D is like being well like a siesta time (lazy time fishing)
and F is like being a crab/tortoise.. it is constant but here there and everywhere snooping..
