P0 Glitch → noun
P0 Glitch happens when a fisher does not fully load into the room, and so their username reads to be in the P0 fishing spot.

P0/P6 Glitch → noun
A well-known glitch that occasionally happens when a room has only one spot left and someone with a slower connection is loading into a room at the same time as someone with a faster connection. The person with the faster connection takes the empty spot (P6), leaving the person initially loading in to appear as P0, and renders them unable to fully load. If the person who has taken longer to load somehow loads in right as the faster connection player joins, these places may be switched.

Bot → noun
A user who isn't using human interaction to play the game and is fishing autonomously. This is against the Gaian terms of service.

Dredging → verb
A method of fishing where the fisher is trying to catch everything they hook in order to just fill up a bucket. Casual fishing falls into this category most often.

Filtering → verb
An advanced fishing method in which a fisher intentionally lets go of unwanted items and therefore only catches items they want in their bucket. In order to filter a fisher must be aware of fish and junk patterns enough to be able to tell what the fish is before they catch it.

Junking → verb
When a fisher is filtering their bucket to catch junk only, and not fish.

Large Game → noun
This is a game where several fishers in the room compete to get the most large fish the fastest.
