Made it to the end and I'm glad I did. Currently level 35 at St Croix and loving it - much more fun than farming Walleye at Emerald. These videos have really helped my journey and having seen this, I won't move in until I've got the bigger keepnet - remember starting St Croix and not being able to keep uniques that I spent ages fighting 😂

[@BoAngles]

Yes! An important point to keep in mind for sure!

​@@butterkan3584😂😂😂 i can buy nightcrawlers for 5$

[@matthewm9987]

Yeah, or rods and reels and stands

[@kenz2261]

the real answer is how long you are willing to wait i guess, fishing for pike takes hour to fill your net since it is limited to the day (you cant skip freely especially if you dont have premium) while sturgeon you can catch 2/3 then skip 1-2 hour for the next batch it takes me approx 20-25 min to fill my 150kg net with sturgeon i havent purchased any dlc btw for clarification ( i am using 2 15kg bottom sniper from shop) i did some counting for like 2-3 hours in real life to get 90k for fishing pike and 1-1.30 hour to get 90k with sturgeon (i have premium)

[@KylaraKuhn]

If you're going for sturgeon like that it pays to set your drag a lot lower. Then you won't flip over and you are able to approach it way faster. Also... It is not about money in this game but xp. The faster you get xp the faster you can start making more money too.

[@Nonutsforyou]

The reason why he wants money is this series is a f2p to see how much money he can end up getting without spending anything and for grinding money its best to fish in E.E.S.S which stands for Emerald lake, Everglades, St Croix, and the final S, San Joaquin Delta

[@Xx0ME0xX]

I never really fished for pike since i bought dlc, but with the catfish pack with the 50 and 70 lb rods (and premium) i make $30k a night and 6-7k xp per night fishing for sturgeon. 3 fish at 9pm, 3 at 11pm, 3 at 1am, and 3 at 3am. I could probably speed it up by only going for 2 fish at non peak times, like at 9pm on the first night that you had in this vid, it's always slow on that night at 9, but i iust read a book or watch a video while waiting lol. Nice vid. Even though i'm no longer f2p, the information is still helpful

[@PaytonMatus]

[@saladnibbles2864]

[@GetBoogieWoogied]

Love this video, currently level 42 and I’m still grinding sturgeon. I love grinding sturgeon since is gives you lots of money very quickly. Sure pike give more money but it takes more time. There’s also no bad day to fish for sturgeon, unlike pike.

[@AdamsOlympia]

I wonder what's more effective - single rod fishing for Pike from a boat or 2+ rod fishing from bank. The sturgeon map made me finally realize how incredibly fast it can be to catch a fighter from a free floating boat without a dropped anchor. Big sturgeon took me up to 3 minutes from an anchored point and less than 10-20 seconds from boat with a troll motor.

[@VonixxMusic]

I love the fishing planet community, such a niche game with a helpful and friendly community of angling gamers.

[@Henacii]

Good vid as always bo… grinding for blue crab right now and it’s a grindddd

[@amirhamza122]

Thanks for posting this. I’m definitely not good with this game but I tried doing pike today for the first time. I liked the bite rate of pike compared to sturgeon. To me, sturgeon change spawn or flavor of the day too fast. However, I tend to catch carp while looking for sturgeon. Carp also offered good money too.

[@qwiel47]

Me in this situation back then : Buy the 5 rod bag and then : St croix : Using 2 match rod (ardix n brutus) + best basscaster because why dont handle up to triple strike San joaquin : Only have 1 mid/best variant of bottom sniper + lowest/mid variant of brutus rod, and doing double strike farm Forgot at what lv when i upgraded my keepnet, at least im buying the 300+lb keepnet before first time going to san joaquin

[@qwiel47]

Note : when i got bored and find interactive game, go fish the pikes When im playing while doing multitasking or even dinner/lunch/breakfast, i prefer kayak fishing sturgeon more than the double strike from the bank

[@ladybugrealestate9726]

heyy bo thx so much i have been loving your vids keep up the great work

[@erikdevries8652]

I noticed when you went home between St Croix and St Joaquin that you have been keeping older equipment, like keepnets. If you upgrade them, no reason to keep the old ones, right? Selling those seems like another way of financially optimizing to me. I think the Sturgeon vs Pike debate is about even personally, and just about personal preference. Not a candy person. A bit chilly and cloudy summers day here in the Netherlands today.

[@faluhh]

Coffee crisp is objectively the best candy. I mean chocolate is already great.. but adding coffee to it? Can’t beat it.

[@BoAngles]

That’s how I feel about ice cream! 😁

[@Snakebit8420]

Good information and nice fishing, especially with those light setups🫡 Cali vs. Michigan has always been a great debate 😊 with players siding either way with their own "farming methods." For me, its the sturgeons' side for many different reasons. Sturgeon Breakdown: The temps and conditions don't matter. It's the 46 minutes of fishing whilst in games odd hr. You'll have no cool-down fee when it's time to ff into the next active spawn (7am) and landing another 5-10 sturgeon. Times/Bite rate: 5 am for 46min, and each individual spawn will have 4 Sturgeon within the (igt) 46mins. The individual spawns will activate their 4 fish every odd hr igt. So to "farm" Sturgeon in/at the same exact spot it's required to ff into the next odd hr (7am) So it's 5-546am, 7-746am, 9-946am, 11-1146am etc etc etc... Hooks: 1/0-4/0: 18-48lbs (average 30-48lbs, sometimes 55lbrs) 5/0-8/0: 38-55lbs (average 40-52lbs, consistent 48-54lbrs with multiple Sturgeon over 52-55lb) Bait: Since the introduction of California Sturgeon spawn sacks have been #1, now it's a mix of spawn sacks/huge cut/duck/buffalo/dead lamb/liver/canned meat. Setups: only major "influence" for sturgeon is the lines type to leaders type. Depending on the line type spooled, the leaders' type will be affecting the fishes attraction to the bait. There are so many things that can/will affect the players' catch rate, but the most important factors are those spawning reset times and fishing the odd hrs. Fishing the way I've mentioned above is going to double if not triple players bite rates up to 18-24 fish in 1hr (igt) and easily filling +1k lb net in 15mins real time. I've obviously invested a lot of my time,especially when it comes to sturgeon. That's the reasoning behind my "extended comment,"and I didn't want you to take it the wrong way 😊 As Always Tight Lines and Great job/work on the video (i know first hand what it requires to create an informative video.)😊

[@MDCKROW]

Jolly ranchers all day fam, @BZHub after just using your series and moving form St crouix and now in san jauoqin with your exact rod, my persoanl opinion is sturgeon is way more profitable even with the day skiping and renting of boat, and even if they are some how even in farm or even less, sturgeon farming is way more exciting and fun that the pike farm. thanks for all your content!

[@Ceyhun_Erdemir]

Thanks for making the video🎉🎉

[@tinkertable1977]

What about Pike fishing at St Croix during the day and then Lake Sturgeon fishing at St Croix at night? Bit of variety. The Lake Sturgeon are slower to get in, but if you’re using a boat, it should be the same.

[@kevinmunley]

I swear once you hit around 90 pounds in the morning at the main spot in St. Croix it just dries up. I now always move to the left and fish there. Not as a good of a spot but switching between the 2 spots works great for me.

So i think pike is more fun , but sturgeon is better in money and exp

[@williamcox9524]

Hi Bo, thanks again for awesome video. The sturgeon gives more if you can keep the momentum up. Making good money following your guides.keep it up.

[@jonfloate3891]

What I been doing is found that $100 per pound is what makes Everglades and now St Croix worth it. In the Everglades I would throw back the Gar because it was $50 per pound more or less. I had a keepnet of 155lb until I upgraded tot he 330lb one. Now I am at St Croix and only did one day so far and have had better than $100 per pound. Finished the one day before noon and cashed out to the next day with $37k. Not bad. The Sturgeon don't seem to be $100 per pound, unless I missed it. I am at level 39 right now.

[@BoAngles]

Not about per lb with sturgeon, it’s about per minute

[@torutara87]

as a new f2p player, i find pikes to be the best option to start as soon as you get the right equipment, then after levelling up and buying even heavier equipment i'd go for sturgeons. the people saying "buy dlc" just have a shortcut, which simplifies lots of things.

[@beardedbones073nmsfp3]

Clipping your lines should help reduce the times of setting too early. Don’t set until the number changes.

[@BoAngles]

Thanks coach

[@Rcprobot]

Sturgeon no doubt you need the 150kg keepnet, bottom sniper 300, large cut bait #4/0 barbless and kayak for max xp if your on your 50 grind. Roam around between the 3 main hotspots 2 fish each rinse and repeat.

[@BoAngles]

I keep seeing people say this, but have yet to see someone actually test if it’s faster to roam all 3 spots or continuously change time from the same location… because one certainly seems faster to me in my head…

[@richardstyles7584]

Also clipping your line will help tell you whether the sturgeon is on or not very neat tip to know

[@BoAngles]

Yeah, we tried that during a recent livestream and broke off like 3 times on fish due to some bug, I wouldn’t recommend it

[@richardstyles7584]

@@BoAngles since when has this bug been around? I clip my line all the time and have never snapped off. I use it all the time in competitions .

[@BoAngles]

@@richardstyles7584 not sure, watch the latest livestream fishing for sturgeon, the sturgeon would take it, the line counter would shoot up to say it was maxed out, tension would go red and we’d break off

[@richardstyles7584]

Watched your stream, went and tried it out for myself with the same setup you ran and I never broke off running max drag. Only thing it could if been was your leader but it was the same strength as the reel which made no sense I can only think it's a glitch that happens and has nothing to do with line clipping .

Hey! I have a 4-7.5lb rod line weight, 12.1lb drag on reel and my 8lb line cant even go to the 2nd drag bar because it just snaps, do u have any clue why? Ive tried 6lb line with 2.4lb leader too, thanks.

[@thesquirejoosh4088]

you need line that is stronger than or the same as the max drag on the reel however the rod you have cant handle it so either upgrade the rod and line or downgrade the reel

[@Accooa]

@thesquirejoosh4088 Okay thanks!

[@Accooa]

@@thesquirejoosh4088 sry, the rod is 4.5-13lb line weight

[@Accooa]

@@thesquirejoosh4088 When im reeling in a 1.8lb spotted bass from lonestar with the drag only on the 1st bar, the reel and rod are in the blue and line is over halfway, almost into red.

[@thesquirejoosh4088]

@@Accooa couple of things that could be causing issues for you. 1 is that your line just isn't strong enough and you should be using a minimum of 13lb line if possible (you can go higher ignore the game's warnings). 2 could be that you are using a leader that isn't strong enough and should be as strong as the line. 3 could be that you are using lures that are too heavy for the rod which could cause the line to snap. Otherwise, it could just be that you are mixing up drag and retrieve speed but i don't think that is the case. Best of luck anyway and i hope this helps!

Do you still play russian fishing 4? Which one is better?

[@smiley32balla]

Love your vids❤

[@Rainrainbows]

I did make the mistake lol... Level 38..keepnet can only keep 3 big sturgeons... But.. It's abit better... The advice I'd give is grind pike for cash then sturgeon for xp to get that keep net... Buy the keep net and the sturgeon is your best option(although I do miss fighting the muskie lol.. Idk.. The fish just had a good fight)

[@TheeRyanBrice]

I know this is an older video, but the way I have been doing it, is by weight to cash. So if the weight is smaller, but you get slightly more in cash, you'd be better off reeling in the smaller ones. ALSO, weather is great. Favourite candy is rubbarb and custard hard sweets. (for some reason) 😆

[@sleepygopher9728]

Pike is more fun for me. I use 2 rods float and spinner never get bored so i can fish longer and that makes more xp/cash :D

[@nickn5419]

I think the faster you fill the keepnet, the faster you make money. No matter the fish. I have 700 hours and the average amount is always within 2k to 10k depending on the species. So what's my point? At the end of the day fill the keepnet asap unless your that hell bent on min maxing. Sometimes you can't fill the keepnet though cause rng is rng. It is what it is.

[@TheeRyanBrice]

SECOND COMMENT: You have to admit though, those northern pike spawn rates has been nerfed a little. I left the game for 8 months and returned to hardly catching any of them despite having the best equipment for it. Before leaving, those pikes were constant all day every day. Now, it's like the devs caught up and slowed it down a bit.

[@fishingwithevan7892]

I think sturgeon is better if you have the equment if not pike is better

[@TheSteezFeeds]

Its close if you are fishing like this, with three bottom rods in the water pike win every time. It is nice to switch it up though.

[@BoAngles]

At this level, it shouldn’t be possible. The whole point of this series is to be free to play- and go by level, so if your comment doesn’t apply, then dont confuse people.

We’ve also tested multiple rods on the other FP account, and it’s not even close- sturgeon blow pike out of the water.
