Something that I have been doing that I haven't noticed anyone else do. You can't get 2 of the same fish in a row. If you catch a shark, your next fish is gonna be salmon or trout. But if you use some bad bait such as a single piece of fish meat, you'll reset it and you can get another shark again
im holding off on updating the game until they further tweak or revert fishing. I used to enjoy chilling and fishing, now it seems like a tool for exchanging bear meat to scrap. if you try actually fishing up the chain as they state... you will just be catching the same 3 varietys of small fish over and over again. and when the optimal way to fish is to manually add bait one attempt at a time in your inventory instead of just chucking it in your rod... then you know its broken.
Fishing in underwater labs basically gives you the same results, but you can also catch orange roughy there which sell a little better than salmon, but not as well as sharks.
Some fishing villages spawn incorrectly. Jump in the water to check if the pier is deep enough to fish from. If it isn't 5 walls deep, go to another fishing village. The one labeled "large fishing village" never has this problem
Yeppers lol and a funny thing is if you just start a scrap exchange for bear raw wolf meat people think like wtf in your vending machine. But truly the real meta of this is the fish traps less bs so you can focus on other things.
The quick summary is that it's very time consuming and met with mixed results. It comes down to the change of bait levels and what you can catch with each bait stack. Raw fish meat is now a bait level of .5 that can stack up to 3 times resulting in a max bait level of 1.5. When looking at what you can catch with a bait of 1.5 results in catching Anchovy, Herrings and Sardines which are each a bait level of 2 stacking up to 2 for a max bait of 4. You still need a bait level of 5+ to catch sharks and salmon. This means you have to use fish meat to catch small fish, then use the small fish to catch trout then use the trout to catch shark or salmon. What really slows it down is you can use 2x Anchovy, Herrin or Sardine and catch 1 of the fish from this list. So you are at risk of losing or falling behind on your bait even as you progress a few bait levels higher.

Smart
just have 2 rods. rotate once you get a shark
finaly someone explains the new fishing! i really didnt know that you should only use 2 Grub-Bait at a Time! Thx man
No problem, the new system is a little different, so I'm glad this video helped!
Great Video....The keyboard display was brilliant......
Thanks, I hope it helps you improve your fishing!
Thanks for the in depth video, it was very much needed.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video. Was not really liking the fishing update but I can get used to it
I feel the same, the old system was nice but I do feel like there is a lot of room to exploit the new system. Hope you liked the video!
The stair tip was mind-blowing to me 😮
OMG fishing from the ladder is genius!!!
algorithm. you're underrated!
this was great, thx for the tips

It is frustrating, they really need to decrease the bait stacking for the grubs down to 2.
One bad piece of info, the ladder doesn't stop people trolling by jumping on your head, but it's still well worth it for the lack of vanishing fish.
How long does it take estimated of course to fish the 650 scrap from 1 bear?
awesome video, thanks for the info. new sub here
Thanks for the sub! :D
Just discovered your channel, keep posting every day if possible, talented.
Welcome aboard! I'll post as much as I can!!
Gonna get a jackhammer and research it, need to redo my walls lol I left soft side outside (hope my base isnt raided by the time i get on later)
Who wants to tell him
@@ThreeGuysOneBucketlmao
So I take it fishing is different on console vs PC because even if you have 20 bear meat on a pole on the console you only use one per cast
Great video, subscribed
Bro i have 100+ h in rust. And u said u need to fish with s , omg dude i am so thankful , i always fish with right mouse click :D u are G
Wow that’s a lot of hours!
I'm always happy to help. Let me know how much faster your fishing goes now!
Does using “s” versus rmb make it easier?
@@DadGotGamez it does try by yourself
hey how are you seeing so clear under water. It might have been updated but last time I played the underwater visibility was so bad.
Are you using a Diving Mask? A few patches back Facepunch made this worthless item useful again.
chazzey u the goat
Thanks! We should squad up again soon.
good vid, but somehow i only catched 4 trouts and not a single shark idk prolly unlucky
Use the trout as bait and you're guaranteed a shark or salmon.
it works on console?
your mic makes the static sound my grandmas tv makes
I'm sorry it was distracting. I hope you still liked the video and I'll try to fix it in the future!
@@ChazzeyRust still a fantastic video, keep it up!
theres no way you're getting to all the dive sites by swimming within 15 minutes
How about you fish inside underwaterlabs?
doable, you'll get about the same amount of scrap, but with the added risk of players killing you
Fishing in underwater labs basically gives you the same results, but you can also catch orange roughy there which sell a little better than salmon, but not as well as sharks.
Is this patched? I went through a stack of bear meat nothing but small trout
Make sure you are on the deep end of fishing village
Some fishing villages spawn incorrectly. Jump in the water to check if the pier is deep enough to fish from. If it isn't 5 walls deep, go to another fishing village. The one labeled "large fishing village" never has this problem
Nerfed in into the ground
i always lose fish at the final moment
Seems like its really hard to catch shark in the fishing village
As you are patient and follow my directions in the fishing tips section, I think you'll find a lot of success. Good luck fishing!
u can use that scrap to buy an m92
wow, a bear is worth 650 scrap, that's insane...
It's crazy, right!?!
Yeppers lol and a funny thing is if you just start a scrap exchange for bear raw wolf meat people think like wtf in your vending machine.
But truly the real meta of this is the fish traps less bs so you can focus on other things.
does this work on console
I'm the AH that's waiting outside of the fishing village hiding in the bushes for you to leave the safe zone with all that scrap 🐸
Mostly have boats safely drive to base and if its enough close than scuba set
@@eiendiaies Yep that's what I do with a sub

Does this work for console?
@@novus3508 I don’t think the fishing system has changed on console, so I would recommend still fishing with fish meat on console Rust.
@@ChazzeyRust thanks, I appreciate it.
Good video but what is that awful background noise 😭
either the mic wasn't properly set up, or the mic was low quality, it may be fixed in future videos
On console no bait is more than level 5. Even bear meat. Wtf
Yes, because console hasn’t gotten the update yet.
So we now hide around fishing villages and shoot the fishermen to get rich. Lol your alright brother.
It does not take 5 min. More like 15
It normally only takes me about 5 minutes to complete the quest and fish 8 times. The fishing tips section of the video should help you fish quicker.
You know if this works on console lol?
It aint the same because the fishing system is different on console we dont have the bait level thing
No, sorry.
ah yes... average ping 30 mf telling me how to exploit fishing when my fishing rod controls have a moon rover delay
Fix your mic bro
Even w the mic prob, it's still better than 80% other Rust vids I've seen, and the mic prob isn't even that bad at all
