You always can change it right at the starting location. Just click on the dril-icon and it will be changed to another one. Also you can equip it as your default drill in the optons: Main menu -> Settings -> Default equipment. I would recommend to everyone to change to the bigger drill as soon as possible. OK it make holes a bit slower (u will need like 5-6 seconds more), but the holes will be big enough for quite every fish, with exeption of really huge pikes (over ca. 4300g).
How do you "get a bigger drill"? I'm catching some really large whitefish and they keep getting off near the surface, but I don't see a place to switch drills......
Good video. Very informative and enlightening. It shows why I hate red drill :-) And yes there are really big trouts (not rainbow trouts) on this location. My biggest trout from here is between 2700 and 2800. But if you look for big pike u must go to the upper lake... pikes from there can be really huge... the biggest i know is a bit over 4000, but unfortunately it's not mine :-) PS: I bet dislikers did not ever played this game once.
well exactly this makes the game interesting and exiting. There is never a guarantee for success right here and now. Sometimes you will get lucky and find fish at the first spot you tried, but mostly you have to search for it. The game is pretty random every time you play it.
I had to watch the videos over at ThunderMist for how to bone out a Northern.... The one I filleted this summer... I got four steaks out of it, but it probably could've been more. It was a 5lbs'er though. That probably helped.
Ah, you need to mouse over the place to find it. It'll come up as the "Starting Area" near where you spawn. When you're there (on land) you can click the auger and it'll change to the larger one. If it wasn't for the comments on this video, I wouldn't have figured it out.
@IceMasterIce Ah! Thanks for this! I did eventually go into the default settings, but didn't know the bit about the starting camp--that will make things a lot easier.
The first fish you got must have been quite big. I did not have any problems getting a 2,2kg trout through the hole while i was using the red drill. Nice video by the way :)
@OregonFlunder47 Dislikers obviously don't understand the addiction of fishing... Thanks for the tip! I thought I had caught one pike in the southern lake, but I guess I never tried the upper since I was having pretty good luck. When you think about it, though, pike under the ice are generally shallower anyway--hence why tip-ups work I suppose! (And yeah, I love using the blue drill!)
That seems to reinforce what Dave Genz would say --- I think he said once that if he starts catching bluegills that are larger than a 6" hole, he'll get a bigger drill. I guess I'm at that point....
I'll have to check UA-cam quick to see if anyone has done a basic tutorial, but I may have to just throw up a video myself about it. It _does_ take a little practice to get into. Keep checking--I'll see what I can do.
this game was my childhood
That's rad! It's been around a while

Try using the orange spoon with the eye and treble hook with pink paste for bait. BIG Rainbow Trouts seem to like it. Have a good one.

00:17 is a very good fishing spot. Fish near the surface with the black spoon:)

You can switch drill in Start Area ! :)
I need general help with this game, I haven't caught even one fish!

Thanks! And now, even though I'm in the same spot at the same time doing the same thing, the huge ones don't want to bite >.>
This is good advice. Just make sure to bring the bigger auger....
