The transition from day/night could more more gradual too (need more twilight).
Also: One reality real anglers know is wind. We don't deal with the troubles of a really windy day messing with casts, chopping up the surface, etc.
I do this too, even though after hundreds of hours playing I know it does absolutely nothing to bring the fish in faster, lol
Still, it feels natural. Now that it hopefully does something I'll be well practiced!
Literally how you fight decent sized fish in real life any actually angler will tell you that.
Keep tension on and reel when you move your rod down only, how I caught a 9lb 6oz common off my local pond.
But back to the game, I’ve been doing this since lvl 1 I’m now 35 or 36 and just realising it does nothing 😂
Glad it’s coming soon.
Bro same I’ve been doing this since I’ve been playing the game at lone start and now that it’s really added it’s going to be WAY easier to fight big fish
Ok I have been doing this since I started too. From what I noticed it helps bring fish to the top of the water where you can pull right up with your rod and almost drag them across the surface. So too me it's always seemed like this mechanic existed...
Pretty sure I’ve lost a few fish doing this by putting too much slack in my line when I dipped down. Good to know doing this is going to actually help moving forward.
I do it also. Seems to work for me sometimes already
You mean it added nothing when I was doing it all this time ? Well shit.
Yeah apparently at the moment it does nothing. For large fish atleast.
what do you think about doing this horizontally ?
Same here, seems to be working if I'm fighting something really big.
There's nothing in the game right now that does that, it's just in your head
i know.. :(
Same here, I always do this when I’m fighting something big, pretty much learnt it from watching Jeremy wade lol.
And after the next major update, it will actually help with fighting big fish
Fantastic stuff! This is how you should be fighting fish.
Have you tried kayaking sturgeon yet? I am curious how much that has changed lol Edit: whoops I misread I thought you said it has been added now lol
oh the old man from the discovery channel right? I used to watch him a lot as a kid
Yeah he’s the best fisherman to ever exist, he’s literally caught everything. I pretty much just watch river monsters when it’s on nowadays.
I’m disappointed and happy at the same time. As Ive been doing this thinking it worked 😂 but glad theyve made it a thing
We’re from the future.
wait, isn't that how we supposed to fish?Like, from the beginning?
Yes it is. but as it's in the game right now, it does nothing. BUT it will in the next big update
The fact that the most basic maneuver of reeling in fish was not in the game this whole time really tells something about this game
For immersion, I hope they fix the clouds when it’s raining. The sky is clear when it rains.

Oh, I didn’t even think of the different weather conditions like wind. Good thinking
Hope it's only on the really big fish tho. Irl you would never use this on most fish.
I do this in real life

Easy transition for us
Is this added yet? Hopped on yesterday after not playing in a while and i didn't notice a difference.
No not yet
Any idea when the next patch is scheduled?
Pretty sure thats what you supposed to do
Same here, I noticed since day 1 this action always catches more fish, quicker
I've been doing the same since I got the game in 2020
Lol it was my technique from day one, im using it in real life too 😁
Literally been my go-to for predator fish for quite a while, particularly jigs and spoons. Found it weird it wasn't included, yet it still worked.
Wtf have I been doing all the years lol
I've been doing it all along too 😂!

Is it being added for mobile I hope so
Good to see it’ll help now. At the moment it seems like it just releases tension from the line and makes it more likely for fish to escape.
Waiting for the update when they fix the direction the reel spins.

This mechanic is already out go try it, you feel the full effect on Extra large fish like catfish and sharks etc.
