reeled realed a small and a 95kg shark in at 67 fishing 90 ql pro rod with 90 ql reel. On a wurm and bone hook with a twig float. 7/2/23 Godrobotswife == Dorado == struggled to catch a small one at lvl 65 fishing 90 ql rod 90 ql pro reel. 7/1/23 Godrobotswife == Fishing Rod ql == Once my rod dipped below 90 ql I was unable to catch any special fish except octopus at level 66-70. It seems rod ql drastically effects catch chance. 7/4/23 Godrobotswife == Clam Fishing == While attempting to get The super rare black pearl, I have found it will most likely take months. Clam Tile gives Around 4 clams per hour at 20 fishing below. Net ql doesn't seem to make a difference as I obtained more clams on a lvl 13 fishing skill alt with a 30 ql net than I did with a botd 89 70 ql net. After opening well over 50 clams I obtained 3 reg low ql pearls. some iron lumps, seeds, an un identified fragment, a reinforced handle, Lots of seafood meat, and nothing on most of them. Making this challenge huge. Expect to fish on numerous toons for days, weeks, maybe even months for this black pearl. 7/4/23 GodRobotswife == Marlin == I was able to catch a small marlin at 69 fishing but have been unable to catch 1 since or a reg sized at all with rod below 90 ql and reel below 90. 7/4/23 GodRobotswife == Casting techniques == After fishing for 3 days str8 I discovered a few things. Firstly, I lost a large amount of fish using a high ql bone hook. But was able to start catching again using a 20 ql lemonwood. No idea why this happens. It also seems that if you cast out too far with a pro rod, you will lose every fish right away. If you cast too close, sometimes you reel a fish in very fast with minimal struggle. This gives less xp, but if u cast right in the middle of the max cast area and the minimum, fights seem to be longer with less fish loses. Sometimes if I cast too far, I lose every fish and have to switch the side of the ship I'm fishing off to fix it, 7/4/23 Godrobotswife
