DREADMOOR: (?) – Nothing Is Biting on My Fishing Rod (Workarounds)
Short answer
Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Cast your fishing rod directly at the jumping fish within the visual circle rather than just anywhere inside it.
The problem
I completed the tutorial where you clean and repair the ship and then craft a new bait (the one made with meat and an iron plate). Now I'm supposed to catch 3 fish, but nothing is biting. I've tried every fishing spot, but haven't had a single bite. How long are you actually supposed to wait? ...
What players suggest
Yes, I'm casting my fishing rod into the visual circle. But even after 30 seconds, nothing bites. I've also tried waiting longer. Something isn't right.
Did this work for you?
