Anyone else notice a decreased line break rate other than Myhnegon? I'm very interested in this if it's true. :3 Thanks in advance. I'm not sure :o

This is prolly the best place to ask, does anyone have/know of a fishing parser? I'm wanting to get a few bits of data (outside anecdotal evidence), but I really really don't want to write down ~2000-3000 fish's worth of stuff.
I'm wanting to, assuming 150 fish/day (to account for things like Non-target fish, target fish, etc), track things like my Hakuryu Bite/Catch/Line break rates, with average amounts of time per catch (if I'm only getting say 12/hr, I could better use that time if I'm looking for gil), etc. One of the big discussions "Which lure's better?" is pretty much right on one of my target findings.
Apparently I'm already getting a "higher than average" (based on my own scribbling down) bite/catch rate at approximately 2.5-3 fish per lure (I always hear ~1.5:1 off other people "on average"), so I'm wanting to make sure I'm doing my numbers right, see how much my line's snapping, etc.
TL;DR: Fishing Parser, I can haz?

TL;DR: Fishing Parser, I can haz? I know that Windower Developer Nitsuj was or is currently working on a fishing plugin that "possibly" may parse data. It of course isn't working or available atm :(
I know of a very good one, but I can't post the link :(
I would be very interested if someone knows of one that's windower approved or close that you can post, I'd be interested in that myself.

You can't get two lots of GP if you change rank. Even if the requested Fish changed because you changed rank. I had this idea and /sigh'd when it didn't work :(
GP NPC simply says you cannot get any more points when you ask "What are my limits?"

I think you sort of can depending on the amount of points (unless its been changed). Like if your current limit is 3000 and then you rank up and the limit is 4000 you can gain an additional 1000.

I have 2 fully charged pelicans right now...debating on whether or not to run those full time until they are out to get 3 chances of a skill up off each hak, or if just fishing noddy puffin would output more.
Probably just going to do 50/50 of it and see how it goes from there haha.
Of course it teased me and got .2 on the 3rd hak with nothing since.

I'd be surprised if you even needed half of the charges.. then again its luck. My mule is 104.something since update. With no rings.

Tried my hand at Hakus with my Lu rod - wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. May end up using these to fund my Gugrus.

Congrats Kalilla ^ ^ I hope you see many more in days to come.
I still haven't hit my first 1,000 in moat carps yet. Still working towards my Lu Shangs. Gotta question about Fish Ranking.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can get my hands on that pelican ring despite not having sufficient skill? Current fish is largest titanic sawfish. I walked out of that house in Selbina crying. Don't have anywhere near 100 fishing, nor a Lu Shang's to fish it out.

Try to find some in bazaars is all you can do :x
And you should instead fish nebimonites and sell them and buy a lu shangs rod. It's faster.

i rotated days between skill ups and the contest fish for a week. turned in the largest one i caught and npc'd the rest. i've only turned in one fish so far, but i got 3rd. i still got decent skill ups even though the fish was out of ideal skill up range. to be fair i was level 28, and the higher you get the slower the skill ups come. i'm dreading 60+(54 atm), but hopefully the next contest will be something i can fish focus for skill ups and a pelican ring.

♥ Thank you Kalilla! and a big thanks to Dameion for helping me as well!
There are fishing topics that come up now and then but mainly are asking a question for a single answer. I know there are many fishers that visit these forums so this is an attempt to get people involved and have a little fun discussing one and only one thing, fishing!
I know Blue Gartr has a Fishing topic already, but I would like to see this community get involved a little bit and talk, since not everyone visits BG. I would love to have a topic just for fishers including veteran fishers, casual fishers, and even players just starting out and want to ask a few questions without being embarrassed about starting a whole topic for a simple answer they could not find.
I only ask that you keep any bot talk to a minimum, preferably none. [Moderator edit: No bot talk] I want this to be a place where we can discuss anything from GP items of the day to what lure/bait to use or what area is best. A quick mention of how you're doing on the lu shang/ebisu quest, how you're doing getting your fishing items from Grounds of Valor, that item you're saving your GP up for, or how much you wish you could hurt Zaldon for not finding anything in your fish for the 10,000th time. Your lucky moment streaks and the moments when you have nothing come your way and question why you started fishing in the first place. Anything that comes to mind, think of it as the random thoughts thread for fishing.
I will list a few resources that I find to be useful when it comes to fishing: BG Fishing Topic
Great Blue (Amazing Site <3, is out dated since 2008 but an amazing resource regardless)
Final Fishing (Another great resource with one of the most in-depth guides made. Out of date though.)
Fish Size Chart [ GE][ Wikia]
Chenon Diary (The site seems to be down for good though, it was a site made for Fish Ranking)
I shall add more if people provide good resources.
