Fishing Planet - Beginners Guide - EP. 1 Lonestar Lake

If you guys ever need help feel free to stop by my twitch! I stream Fishing Planet 3 times a week :)

[@nucleargaming9575]

LOL it’s kind a hard to catch a smallmouth buffalo because my line keeps breaking I’m never giving up

@@nucleargaming9575 try upgrading the setup, or just skipping ahead for now, the challenges will always be there!

[@matthewmorris3497]

I find this game to be quite realistic, It takes patience and time to catch difficult fish like it would in rl.

[@matthewmorris3497]

Thought I would let you all know that I caught the Buffalo with a grasshopper in the deepest part of the lake off the walkway from behind the fence @225cm. I was having difficulty in the spot Zabby found his so I was reading the comments and to use a grasshopper as bait the I thought that the deepest part of the lake for bigger fish also it is near the bank with silt bottom as in the description on how to catch this fish. For anyone having difficulty try this and you will catch the little bas$t$@rd. Hope it helps 🤓👍

[@markrigg6623]

Game doesn't tell you much at all in the tutorial which is odd for such an extensive game. So this vid is GOLD and I really appreciate it. Thanks. Made me laugh how long that bass fought.

[@radamus210]

I tried this years ago when it was first starting, way different game today. This tutorial is GOLD! I couldn't figure out shit, but followed along step by step and it's making sense now.

[@kyojurorengoku5534]

Playing this Game because of Quarantine btw in RL I'm going fishing too I love it this is my main Hobby

[@Zabby]

Glad you're staying safe and enjoying the game its a blast, I basically played it nonstop for a month!

[@Thecaster4545]

I been going to pay lakes and they don’t do 6 feet it’s like 12-24 feet

[@winterautumnfishing5215]

Same, fishing just got allowed in UK and I went and caught some coalfish today

[@Thecaster4545]

Winter Odonnell coalfish what’s that? Btw not calling it fake I’m from America and it’s obvious that we have different fish breeds what is a coalfish

[@winterautumnfishing5215]

@@Thecaster4545 it's a sea fish, a shad is the closest thing I can think of, they don't migrate and grow bigger, when young (1-2lbs) they look silvery but when the get older (5lb+) they get a very dark, shiny black hue

[@WelcomeToHorrorville]

Another thing to help other: Go to settings and change your unit of measurement from imperial to metric. That helped me with a lot of confusion with finding things that he mentioned in the video.

[@haydenbennett3483]

You sir deserve a medal, i was honestly sat looking at my shop dumbfounded wondering if they changed the names 😂 i can know progress, this needs to be pinned for anyone else struggling :)

[@StewFromHamOnt]

Followed your guide for these last few fish. Caught the catfish right away, and figured I'd catch another before moving on to the Buffalo. Well, that didn't happen, I caught a Buffalo on my next cast, right into the catfish hole you were at, same depth, petfood equipped. I'm gonna consider myself very lucky on that one.

[@mistretta_]

finally a TRUE BEGINNERS GUIDE!!! Thank you so much! Im looking forward to more of these vids

[@Zabby]

You're welcome there's a few more episodes already out :)

[@zipzap8937]

I just spent three minutes fighting a smallmouth buffalo at one of the catfish spots you recommended. I for sure thought it was going to be a monster catfish, but no it was something even better! For reference, I was fishing at the deepest most northern part of the lake with your same setup and a 70in leader. Turns out some smallmouth buffalo like pet food as well.

[@Zabby]

Honestly I need to update this guide since it's been a while since I made it. Good tips tho :)

[@chrispayne9694]

Thank you so much for making this guide! I was so confused And overwhelmed when I first started until I found your guides. Im now on episode 3 and getting ranking up to prepare for my entry to emarld lake. I couldn't have done it without ya!! Much respect and appreciation! Everyone subscribe to this man's twitch!

[@Zabby]

Good luck buddy keep up the grind!

[@chrispayne9694]

@@Zabby thanks dude I'm loving this game now that you have taught me the basics. But I'm having diff results at emerald lake than what you have. I'm assuming it's because I don't have a premium account. I am currently rank 16. I have a 44lb stringer. It doesn't take long to fill the stringer up when I'm lure fishing walleye. I usually bank around 4k per day. However It costs 3k to travel there. I'm only making 1g per trip. And that's not including the daily license. Yeah the XP is incr! I was a rank 11 when I came to emarld and I ranked up to 16 in just a few hours IRL. But I find it much more profitable to just farm bass at Lonestar, considering we fish for free there. That is very boring tho. IDK if I should check out other lakes or if I should invest in the 66lb stringer that is available to me. It costs $7680 so I can either do that and continue to fish at emerald or u can use my 11k I currently have to invest in a different set up for another lake. Of course I could continue to bass farm at Lonestar but I think I'd rather go noodling than do that lol. Any tips would be appreciated. Thx

See if you have enough to buy the cheapest Telescopic rod and reel you can buy then start farming until you build up enough to buy a proper setup. Try selling things you don't need if you are just a bit short.

I know the metric system it not a bad thing to know in today's times and wish they had taught it in school back in the 70's when I was still in school. Never can hurt learning & knowing something you don't know, and like they always say knowledge is power.

So I know this game is free on the PlayStation 4 but before I considered downloading it I have one important question You see I recently tried Call of the Wild angler because I like the hunter Call of the Wild and it's made by the same company. But I got bored very quickly when I learned all it is is casting the line out and then reeling it back without the fish fighting back at all What I want to know is do the fish actually fight back requiring you to move your Rod left and right or up and down are you reel them in?

[@jaspertickler1831]

I definitely think so, on the spoons I found if you pull left or right and then when tight aim directly at the fish, you seem to be able to gain more & wear the fish down quicker.
