All your record catches are nicely saved on your profile for you to be proud of. Better equipment becomes available at higher levels. As you catch more and more of them you level up. Many different fish to be caught, each with it's own behavior depending on weather/time of day etc. Game looks absolutely gorgeous.fish that splashes, mother nature's landscapes.fog that blures and rain that is pouring over your eyes.sunrises and sunsets.and then the atmospheric sounds.astonishing. Everyone can catch a fish but only the true masters can catch monsters. Gameplay mechanics is just rightly balanced between realism and gaming fun.

Even I who hate bobber fishing in real life am having so much fun with it in this game. So many options, combinations to explore. For many many years I tought that Bass Landing (PS1, 1999) will never be outmatched, but it has finally happened.īoth lure and bait fishing is supported. Hope this helps.As someone who likes fishing both for reals and as a digital fun I can confirm without doubt.Fishing Planet is the most realistic fishing experience you can have beside the real thing. Shouldn’t need big line for the gar 8 lb should be ok for them I wouldn’t use more then 12 lb test though. You get them a lot when fishing for bass. Shocked you haven’t caught a gar fishing for bass. Can get them over by the sink boat as well. For bait small minnows with a 2/0-4/0 hook work well at 35-45 inches with bobber. On the peg with the 3 channels the channel on the left and at the land to the left of the middle channel is loaded with them. Frogs and top water work real well.the little 3/0 crank bait is really good too.

For gar I have caught them all over the place. Different depths work I tend to catch them with the 8ft yellow or blue cranks. Crankbaits work real well too at speed 1 or 2.

If using a lure the medium spoon 4/0 1 1/4 oz red or yellow spoons work real well with stop and go or lift and drop on speed 2. Occasionally you will get a snook or a red drum but that’s where tarpons are real active. If using float put leader at 45 inches that’s what I have luck with. For bait use 4/0 - 6/0 hooks shiners and shrimp work real well recommend 20 lb setup minimum because they get pretty big and really can fight. Off the sock cast out to the right of that little island as far as you can towards the trees in the distance.
