Add some variation to fishing

Recommended Posts

Fishing can be a fun, relaxing and possibly an interruption free activity depending on where you want to fish, however generally it takes a fair amount of time for you to catch anything - and it is always the same result.  This makes it a bit repetitive when it could be improved in my opinion.  The following variations could be added to make things more interesting:

  • Varied time periods, where occasionally you will get lucky and catch a fish sooner.  This also prevents people just being AFK so much as it rewards you for being more attentive to the game.
  • A different version of a fish (probably just a 'Large Fish' so that it doesn't conflict with the standard 'Fish' item). This would be rarer but worth more money. Gives a little excitement should you catch it.
  • The possibility of catching two fish at a time. This should not be too common.
  • The possibility of catching other things such as a radio, a ball or maybe even a rare chance of a pistol?  Not too sure on this one but it would add more variation and interesting options. It does not have to be necessarily all good things, such as the ball - but should have the chance of a useful item.

Feel free to recommend other options.

+1 Absolute huge potential in the fishing system. I played on a San Andreas multiplayer server years back who re-hauled their fishing job system and it became one of the most fun and in-depth jobs to do. This included leveling, variation of fish/a tiny chance of catching a huge value fish, boat usage to fish etc etc. I think the fishing system in place is very, sit there and press 'K' every now and then, lacks any sort of user feedback and sense of accomplishment.

big +! 
i think a lot of us loving fishing but it can get stupid boring if you've done it for a couple of hours. having some RNG, even if its for items that aren't that valuable, would be great.

i'd like to see a fishing skill introduced too, but that's an entirely different kettle of fish

+1 after Rage 1.1 in which water doesn't desync as much.

Then, we can have rarer fish appear out in the ocean that give more $$. However, you'd need a fishing permit to have them.
This would be a plus for civillians and for police who will then be able to patrol the waters in search of illegal fishermen.
