I just purchased this game & the Tales DLC last night. I love survival games, esp one with really cool fishing mechanics. This is a great guide! Thank you for taking the time to create the data & explain everything.
bears can get u in a fishing hut like if u shoot one go inside the hut and shoot it again in can come in and get u just it is rare to happen but does seen a few people die this way and i got attacked plus the bear can glitch through the wall same with the porch in pv homestead
I got mauled on the porch to the pleasant valley farmhouse. Stood inside looking through the glass and got pounced. Happened once and couldn't replicate it
That's a really amazing video. Can't imagine how long that took to collect the data. And it's very usefull, seeing that the basic tackle is best for leveling ice fishing but the "better" lures are better in catching high quality fish. Thank you very much for your dedication, definitly erned a sub.
Interesting video-thanks! I'd be curious to see the cooked caloric output of each lure considering that Rockfish grant around 3x more calories than trout. For roughly the same calorie output, catching 3 trout vs 1 rockfish uses 2 more bait and triples your chance of line and lure breakage. Furthermore, single higher calorie-value fish make more efficient use (less bait and more cal/kg) of the bonuses to fish size from bait + ice fishing skill + cooking skill; you will use two more bait to realize the same caloric gains from 3 trout vs 1 rockfish, which will add up over the course of an entire day's worth of fishing. Consider also time spent harvesting bait-harvesting 30 pieces of bait will take ~1.5 hours. All of this is to say that I still think the lures are preferable if you're using bait. Also keep in mind that fishing in longer sessions is more efficient than multiple 1hr sessions. Would be curious to see how/if that changes results.
Great work. So i guess if you're fishing for Vitamin-C rich fish (Rainbow Trout/Lake Whitefish) to mitigate Scurvy risk, the best way is to use bait but no lure. If instead you wanted to max calories/kg and have less catches but with bigger fish (to reduce line break chance) you'd use a good lure and bait. Fishing without bait seems to be pointless except when you don't have one and want to catch one fish first to harvest some. What do you think?
thanks for your hard work, I was struggling trying to catch fish and figure out how to make bait, I think my game has a problem because I fish for 3 days straight and didn't get one fish
You would think the lures with feathers would be more effective than the simple lure. In my latest Stalker run I used only a wire lure and then bait to reach Level 5. The Fishing Camp has so much trout and salmon killing a bear is unnecessary. Will you do any other guides?
I did a test of my own using the revolver shell bait, I fished for 8 hours and around the 4-5 hour mark i catch fish almost every second (meaning i have around 10 fish at the 4-5 hour mark and it just gets better getting closer to the 8 hour mark)
I felt that all the new gear was slower to catch fish, particularly at lower skill levels, and your data bears that out. Use basic tackle for advancing skill levels for higher catch rates. Catch bigger fish later. Thanks for the analysis!
I am at Coastal Highway now going for Level 5. Two questions 1) How often did your line break? 2) Does all your bait get used up? I cut up 9 pieces from a rockfish and fished for 4 hours catching 7 fish. All nine pieces of bait were gone.
To be honest with you, I can only give you the averages on line breaks. I broke it down as best as I could without getting too in-depth. As you increase your fishing level, the line break chance does decrease. In terms of bait, you don't NEED it but it does feel like it goes quick once you have it. I will say it seems to spoil quickly though as well.
Finally the update today fix the ice fishing hole bug in PV and will now allow ice fishing holes to be created in pensive pond and some other places in Pleasant valley

Very impressive work. Your love of the game is shining through in this incredible video!
Thank you for your kind words!!

Oh for sure! It works, just gotta be careful!
A wolf got me in a hut once. I think they have to charge at just the perfect angle so the doorframe doesn't interfer

I would love to see the comparisons of the fresh water. This is really great data.
I was waiting for a good fishing guide to come out! Thanks for the video
Happy to help! If you have any other guide suggestions, please feel free to comment them on any video!!
You trun a in-game event into a small project. Great job :D
I really like the visual aids. Great work. You got my sub o7. Thanks for the video.

Amazing video! The LD community thanks you!!!
Thank you for the kind words!! It means so much!
Thanks so much for all the effort it must have taken making this... I was so confused that when I used lures I seemed to be catching less fish!
It definitely took a bit, but it was fun to put together.
The effort levels are huge
Well, effort was required. lol.

I think I have some of this data somewhere, but something I definitely want to look at!

Have you tried a different spot or making your own fishing hole?
Dude if that’s happening your game MIGHT be bugged, BUT, in that case, the tip ups are the way to go.
Wow, impressive effort! Gained a new sub
Welcome! Great to have you!!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
My pleasure!

Wonderful video. Very helpful!
Thank you!!
Great video! Thanks for all the effort put in making that!
My pleasure!!
I wonder if the Travois helps make fishing hut Bases
Awesome video 💪💪💪💪💪
Great info, thanks! Is there any difference, in terms of benefits, between fishing huts with doors versus ones without doors?
My gawd, this was awesome! Thanks!
Thank you kindly!
Very thorough, thanks!
My pleasure!
Amazing work an very nicely presented! It would be interesting to compare productivity based on caloric content and nor only number of fish.
I likely have some of this info written down in my data but will take a look!
Amazing work. I wonder if these percentage are different in interloper.
My guess it would be somewhat different!
Amazing work! Very informative and I love how clean your fishing hut is. You have defiantly earned a Subscription.
haha thanks! I love when things are easy to find!
I legit built by coastal highway base in one of those fishing hut with door😂
it's just a pain to collect firewoods
I did a test of my own using the revolver shell bait, I fished for 8 hours and around the 4-5 hour mark i catch fish almost every second (meaning i have around 10 fish at the 4-5 hour mark and it just gets better getting closer to the 8 hour mark)
I definitely want to redo some of the stuff on this video! I'm excited to play live with you guys though haha. It's time consuming to do those tests !
@@SirenSongGaming I know (even if 100 tries is a small test in the grand sceme of things, it takes time), great job, and very helpful either way.

Other than giving yourself a high five, I’d say there’s a disadvantage to using the less and bait. That’s not at all what I expected.
I have the weights written down. I can add that on. I may re-record this, it was a bit dull to me when I rewatched it. I also saw a few things to fix😊
Thank you, a couple of questions. 1) When you mean 100 casts you mean 100 hours? Would you try this again at Level 4 or 5?
Yes, I did 100- 1 hr casts. I planned on also redoing/restructing this video down the line and adding in lvl 1 vs lvl 5 results as well!
Excellent!@@SirenSongGaming
How heavy do the new fish get?
I don't actually know, I can take a look at the weight but also didn't want to pack "too" much into one video
I can't create any fishing hole in pleasant valley
You need to be in a big enough lake, a good sign is you can either see the ocean or the water is about to give out.
