Does this mean mib rate should be toned down since DW is clearly making >1/hr?

not too sure about "Clearly" sometimes the waters are pretty murky and the fish don't bite

Has there been any clarification on whether or not fishing with multiple fisherman puts you at an advantage or not? That is, is there a limited number of bottles in an 8x8 square that equal approx 1mib/hour, or does each individual fisherman have the ability to pull an average of 1mib/hour?

Any clarification on this would be help. Thanks

So now you want to argue that the data is not valid....

Dear whom it may concern,

Please fix fishing MiB rate.

There is a 1 mib per hour estimate (or based on fact, I dont really know/care). Trials seem to show slightly greater than that estimate, and much of the problems mentioned before the most recent posts were related to the improper use of the fishing skill. Perhaps Darkwing can better explain..

Do we know if multiple fisherman on a single boat improves your chances of pulling an mib, or just depletes the 8x8 faster?

If you are trolling over the resource grid (or however it is organized now) at a rate where you (or all 3) are constantly fishing and never casting into an empty resource pool, then you should pull 1 (or 3) mibs per hour on average. If you fish up the area, and keep tossing out failed casts, it probably will decrease your average.

Very interesting. I will explain my method. It's simple, really. My macro looks like this:

select fishing rod
wait for target (1 s. delay)
target reloc (x,y)
If sysmessage "the fish don't seem"
say: forward one
end if

I fished for ~4.5 hours last night, and pulled 1 mib. I'm intrigued as to what I am doing wrong?

You need to toss the line in, wait a bit, and then fish again.

You are doing the same thing Darkwing was. Read up a few posts and look at the delay information. You have to cast and wait like 8s or so.

Thanks, I will try this and report back on the method.
