Try this. Back to the "hot district theory". TUESDAY APR 4th HOT DISTRICT = Crazyham Pick the less rare of your fish you wanna go after or a place where 2 of your fish might be playground-wise. (for example: Grand Piano and All Star on MML, Devil Ray/Grizz in Brgg, Full Moon/Concord in DDL) I start at the top or bottom of districts. I fish 4-5 buckets at one district in the PG, then move to the street (eg Tenor in MML, Walrus in BRgg, Lullabye in DDL) and fish 5-10 buckets. If I start catching over 200 beans/bucket at a district, I stay. If I start catching bunches of the type of fish I'm looking for (Pianos, Bears or Moons) I also stay. If I start catching records, definitely stay put, put in the time. If I keep catching junk fish, I move the next district. You can bounce thru 5-6 districts before something feels right. Once you find a "hot district", just camp out and fish for an hour or two. Let's say you don't want to go from district to district... Well if someone posts that they caught a rare/ultra rare THAT day, go to that district. Doesn't need to be the same fish. I got 2-3 of my rares and ultra rares going to the very same district when someone posted. I just check the fishing posts on the other site. Lastly, if you have 3-4 fishertoons online, each of you try different districts. If one of you catch an ultra rare, let the others know what district. Then boogie on over even if it's a differenyt PG an dtry your luck. It's also kinda nice to have someone to chat with. Play some loud music, snack, and stuff. Take a break and go CFO or help a little toon take some bldgs to break up the "mouse clicking" fatigue. I think you have to fish almost every chance you get, (3-5 days a week), sometimes 100 buckets a day. It definitely pays to stay in one place if you start catching records (any sort). Seeing those green letters made my heart skip a beat, even when it wasn't a new species. I almost always caught an ultra rare after catching a bunch or records, even for the weirdest fish. Then again, I think if you fish long enough, odds are you'll exhaust all the records just because you caught sooo many fish. I also alternate my casting, target a different dot each cast mostly for fun. Casting on the same dot over and over gave me the same old junky fish. Beans and Boots don't seem to mean a thing. Speed fishing, you can average a bucket every 130-150 secs. ~ 20-30 buckets/hour. Top toons often get >2000 fish = 100+ buckets. Yikes! KK, Tuesday's Fishing Clinic is over see ya in 2 weeks! Remember to wash your hands before you VP or CF. LST |
