I'm sure I'm not the first to suggest these, but they've come to mind as some simple ways to expand the fishing system, so I thought I'd put them up just in case:
1) Seems like foraging up some worms for bait should be pretty easy to do. Perhaps other bugs could be found and used also, as well as clams/oysters. Could also use other caught fish (the small ones), or bits of meat cut from slain creatures. I suggest these mostly for variety (and the potential to catch those fish picky enough to want different things), but also because bait shops are scarce, and the realism would be nice.
2) I would love to see more blackboards and weighing scales. It seems like fishing is something that the majority of cities in DR would be interested in, considering most are near a river or large body of water.
3) I'd also love to be able to use my grass braiding skills to make a fishing net, even if it can't be used yet.
4) I'd really like a fish basket to store my caught fish in. Are these sold anywhere?
Finally, just thought I would note to any new fishermen that handmade worms are very easy to bait -- I always get them on the first try, with 20 mech.
Good fishing,
