I honestly haven't noticed a change in fishing increase in catches. All I do know is... Don't level up on Crescent Fish... Go for Silver Sharks instead...

No, they are a 41% bite rate. Sure, they sell for a lot of gil, but you'll get periods of "No catches" for about 2-3 minutes of non stop fishing.

I went straight to silver Sharks with Meat balls once I had wasted a few days going after the crescent fish. With a low bite rate, and reduced skill up speed for fishing, it makes it levels of hell.

Can confirm. The crescent fish leveling portion is a nightmare.

Same path I took, Crescent fish bit rate was blah. Side note: I'm glad I did this before Nasomi nerfed the sale price of silver shark. 500 gil per shark made it worth paying 10k per stack of meatballs to catch them. I'm not so sure that's still the case all things considered.

Meatballs are now around 3.8-4k/stack. It's not too expensive, and it sucks because it's not very profitable. I am currently 63 now, and if it wasn't nerfed, I could have gotten my scorpion harness already. My last trip I made around 75k for a few hours of fishing.

Once I hit 66 Fishing, I'm going to windy, and fishing there for Bastore Bream. That's when the money really starts to roll in.

I predict this is going to next information we get on Fishing

Nasomi: We never get the fishing fatigue, but I'm working on a new fishing mechanic that fishers will enjoy.

Some time later

Nasomi: New fishing mechanic is here. You'll get better results when you first sign in for the day with dimishing returns the later you fish. (Fishing Fatigue). And no it's not fishing fatigue!

Everyone this is fishing fatigue!

Where do I fish for silver shark w/ meatballs?

The crescent fish grind not only burned me out on fishing, but basically stopped me from logging in for like 1-2 weeks in frustration.

Sauromugue Champaign, in that little area by the sea. 4-5 stacks of meat balls should bring you to the Bastore Bream level. It didn't take th long, but the drop in money/hour isn't that bad.

I make about 30k/hour on Bastore Bream in Port Windurst.
