Q: Does changing your location in a pond make a difference? A: The only thing it does is give you a new bit of scenery to look at, as far as I can tell.
Q: I sold my 100 fish to the store and I didn't get the free hat for it! A: You don't get the relevant hats when you've sold a total of 100 fish to the Ole' Fishing Hole. What you do is you click on the sign at the top-left of the shop view which reads "Exchange Fish". You exchange fish for items there. Note that you must be holding the amount of fish you need - you can't get an Orange Guppy Hat if you've sold 50 orange guppies and you're still holding 50 orange guppies, you have to be holding all 100 orange guppies in your inventory.
Q: Why are there so many Rares like Diamondbacks, but so little easy-to-catch Rares like Candy Stripers? Shouldn't there be more Candy Stripers than Diamondbacks? A: The thing is, Candy Stripers aren't as easy to catch. Bass'ken is a very basic pond and has a very high chance of giving out low-level fish. Hence your chances of catching junk are increased greatly, and your chances of catching a Rare are also increased just as greatly. And when it comes to Rares, even a slight increase affects them greatly.
Q: Why don't my fish show up in bank trades? A: The admins disabled trading fish between users. You can still exchange them, sell them, or put them up in the marketplace, but you can't trade them with other users.
Q: What do you need to catch Rares? A: Any rod, and A-level bait (bait levels can be read about in Guides, Tips & Info). Unlike other fish, Rares can be caught anywhere on a lake - there's no minimum casting distance, meaning you can use any rod. Just cast, and whether or not you hook a Rare is left up to luck. Keep in mind that in some maps, Rares fight similarly to Junk.
Q: What's the best spot in Bass'ken Lake to catch fish? A: "Hot spots" don't exist. Full stop.
Q: Does your bait and rod affect the fish you catch? A: Yes. Some rods can cast further than others. The further you cast the better the fish you can catch. Here's the distances:
Basic Rod: Normal: 70ft Plus: 80ft
Strength Rod: Normal: 60ft Plus: 75ft
Performance Rod: Normal: 75ft Plus: 90ft
Distance Rod: Normal: 90ft Plus: 100ft
And here's the ranges: Junk: 25 ft to 100 ft Small: 25 ft to 100 ft Medium: 45 ft to 100 ft Big: 65 ft to 100 ft Rare: Rangeless, can be caught anywhere.
So, effectively, by getting a better rod and casting further you can catch better fish. Which brings me to my second point - bait. Bait just makes you more likely to catch better fish. You're much more likely to catch Biters with A-level than you are with F-level. And you're more likely to get junk with F-level than with A-level.
Q: I sold my fish to Logan but he didn't give me my gold! What's wrong? A: If you scrolled down below the store view, clicked the fish you wanted to sell, typed in the quantity and pressed the sell button, at least you sold it right. You don't get the gold from the fish you sell INSTANTLY. Go to any other page (don't refresh or you'll be submitting the formdata for selling your fish again, which you might not want to do) and then check your gold. Your gold should now be raised by the amount you got for the fish. If you still don't have your gold after visiting another page, wait for a few minutes, the server may be lagging. If you still don't have your gold after a while, it's most likely a bug; PM an online Omnimoderator (they fix account issues) and explain the situation to them. Make sure to mention what fish you sold and how many of each fish, as this can sometimes be vital information.
Q: I saved my bucket, but when I went to the fishing store, the fish I had just caught weren't there. Why's that? A: When your bucket becomes full, the game saves itself. Once it's saved, it exits itself too. If you exit the window manually, chances are it hasn't yet saved properly, and your catches might not be recorded. If, however, you did let your game save properly and not close the window yourself, it is most likely a bug. You should PM a Fishing Forum Omnimoderator - they solve account issues. You can view the fishing forum's moderators by going up to the top of the main fishing forum page, and under Gaia Gaming -> Gaia Fishing!, click the link which reads View Forum Moderators. There it lists all the fishing forum's moderators; Omnimoderators are the ones listed in green.
Q: What's the point in fishing? A: There's no specific "point" in fishing. There are aims, and things you can do. The aim of Fishing is to catch the best fish you can, and to get a good score - though you don't necessarily have to adhere to that. The things you can do are upgrade your rod, buy new rods, and get bait - and after fishing, you can exchange fish for hats, or sell the fish back to Old Man Logan or on the market to another user.
