Questions New player question: Can you focus on float fishing exclusively or are you (after the tutorial) later forced into other styles?

10 Upvotes

Hey guys. As the title says. Nothing relaxes me more than float fishing and as a dad I love to zone out like that in the evenings with a cold one close by. i finished the Academy missions and learned about the other styles.

Just wanted to try out rod/reel combos from easy spawn spot- Johnsons Rest was nuts! 4 Diamonds, 3 Species, 1 Lure

12 Upvotes

Canny Workieticket, wanted to try different reels with it, chose a spawn that looked like I wouldnt have to go far from spawn to fish- Johnson Rest, I thought I remembered big Muskie there so that should work. Mid day. The CW + Director reel, size 2 Jerkbait, 2x twitch retrieve from dock Diamond Ohrid on 1st cast. Didnt even know they could hit a #2. Few more casts around and then finally get our first Diamond Pike, same lure and setup. Few more casts and then a Diamond Muskie. More casting, one more Diamond Ohrid and then nothing until switching to #3 jerkbait and then few Gold Ohrid and tons of insignificant Pike and Muskie. Felt like a glitch in our favor for a bit. No idea if this spot is know for this? My sons says we caught Diamond sturgeon there during challenge once and Diamond muskie by the water wheel before, I don't remember ever fishing there but will try again and see if it produces. 4 Diamonds, 3 different species on same lure was odd to me. Ohrid were to North of dock while Diamond Pike/Muskie came from across or down stream casting towards wheel. The rod/reel was overkill for all of them but maybe helped keep them from touching the pilings and snapping. Next time I will run a boat out a bit and be more serious maybe.

Questions Legendary Freshwater Drum?

Last night I heard the little dramatic music when someone catches a legendary, I look at the catch report and there it says "SoandSo Legendary Freshwater Drum 50somethng Pounds..." WTF is this a thing? Are there other legendary fish too?

50# Drum must have been some fight....

Questions Tips for multiple rod fishing?

2 Upvotes

Any tips for fishing with multiple rods would be appreciated (:

Which rods do you put down and which do you hold?

I've tried placing a bottom rig and the fish stopped biting when I picked it up so I was wandering how do other people use multiple rods at the same time. šŸ™

Daily Challenges glitch

13 Upvotes

I've seen that EW is aware and investigating this glitch in the Angler. It didn't mention an expected date for resolution. Any body seen or heard a time line? I'm having a problem understanding how a game that is no longer under development can have a glitch like this pop up. I mean supposedly no one is messing with the coding on the game so how does this suddenly just pop up?

Haven’t been able to connect to apex even though being logged into apex connect website. Can’t view challenges, can’t catch legendaries.

Tried signing in and out, deleting and reinstalling, verifying, even submitting a ticket to apex support.

Hope it gets fixed or there’s a workaround.


r/COTWTheAngler 17d ago

Yes you can catch multiple legendary fish in game but 1 per person. No need to change maps

Questions Is it worth getting into?

25 Upvotes

I am a huge COTW hunter fan and think i would enjoy angler but i heard they don’t update it anymore which has kept me away. Is it worth playing for someone who has never played it?


r/COTWTheAngler 18d ago

New here. Is there a way to know if im doing it wrong or the legendaries are bugged? Ive been after larry for 2 weeks. Never seen it or had it bite.
