R50 eh. Did you try the resource map on this website? Even Yg has comments that tell you where to fish those. You can find the favored baits in this forum.

Humblehearth for Southern Pike, unsure on lure, most likely same as northern

Nine Ivies is good for Northern Pike, high bite rate with Wildfowl/Vulture Fly.

As a note, you can only ever catch 1 pike/cast, cant get 2/3x a catch. So it can be slower then normal fishing.

Good Luck with the stuffed cabbage and/or Earth Crystals, depending what you're doing o.o

Hey thanks for all the great info! Yeah i should have checked yg just posted here first.. I dont really trust much of anything said on YG and know everyone here knows a ton about fishing. Yeah im r50 but mainly followed guide to get there so I havnt cought much of anything. Ive done black soles and crimson but thats about it for profit:P thanks for the help!

Absolutely not. I did this one last night.
R50 @ -1 and I get 1/10th that.
@R44 you cant even fish w/out agro at this pond.
If by an hour you mean you set up your bot and go to bed and woke up to 45-60....then yes, thats exactly what happens.

A lot of made up numbers go on around here, folks claiming they fill up inventories with certain fish at certain places in a matter of hours. Making it sound like they catch thousands of fish in an afternoon.
Its absolute bunk.

Cool :)
if you concentrate for a full hour~, how many are you getting? what rank are you?

I originally said "40-60" in an hour, but I get closer to 60 cause i fully concentrate on jigging and casting, so no time is wasted.

Well lower rank will get aggro from the skeletons, unless you get lucky and they are moved away from the pond
A linkshell mate around your rank came with me once and got lucky with the skeletons being in the other room.

My original post said vulture cause that is what i use at my rank :o I should have been more clear to say freshwater lure.

So maybe try wildfowl for your rank, see if it gets the "fish like this bait" message, or go snurble fly


what's really interesting is once you get used to the final jig spot for specific fish, you will know what fish you are going to get by the 2nd jig.
i believe southern pike hit mostly far right on final. i gotta go check real quick

so i'm here fishing right now

"The fish seem to be biting on vulture flies.
Something big hits your line!
You have hooked something but cannot reel it in.
You reel in your catch!
You obtain a southern pike."


what i do is first jig i go middle, 2nd jig far right and nails the pike. so i can normally catch them off two jigs, which is a huge time saver when you fish for some time.

got 6 southern pikes in just a few minutes


if your 2nd jig far right says fish is taking line, it might be a velodyna carp. so 3rd jig go slightly left from top.

also blindfish are here, which hit right to far right, but not too frequent.

West of Camp Dragonhead in Coerthas, follow the road west about 300 yalms, There is a cave in the cliff face, south of the road. A pool inside this cave has Northern Pike, Crimson Crayfish, and Striped Goby.
I get system Message "The fish seem to be biting on Topwater Frogs" each time I catch a Northern Pike. They are at -1 depth. And have a sweet spot of 1, or 2. (that's far left) I usually start at 2, then go to 1, when the remainder bar indicates a Northern Pike.
I havent counted fish/hour, but I catch northern pike here, easily. No aggro, and Spearfishing/quarry point there too.

The pikes are capped at 1 per catch.

Since you are R33, i really suggest you mostly do SP though. you can try the "grade 10 trick" since grade 10 water has low level fish and you get maximum SP doing that. http://www.disciplesofth...m.aspx?g=posts&t=272
Basically head to south of Bald Knoll where the grade 10 water is, use a sinking minnow, -3 depth. you'll get lots of SP since it's g10 water, and easy to catch low level crappy fish.

Conversation below is about g4 fresh water (which i fish in nanawa mines)

There are two fish that bite at the right, and it's the blindfish and southern pike.

southern pike is far right
blindfish is right to far right
crayfish are kinda random ish from top to left
velodyna carp are top to left
and very very rarely you'll get a monke onke (if you are doing -1 depth) which seems to hit at top


even though you are -1 depth to get southern pike, you'll still pull up a crapload of carp and blindfish. the pikes aren't exactly a high %, so the ratio of fish you'll have at the end of the session won't be that far off.

---

since we are concentrating SOLELY on southern pike here, then the jigs are easy.


so let's start from beginning.

Cast your line
something hits/nibbles/bites
FIRST jig go in the middle, saves time
SECOND jig, since we are fishing for southern pike, go far right, hopefully you'll catch a pike
*****it should only take two jigs to catch pike***** (but that is based off my character)

*if it's not a pike*
if second far right jig states: the fish is taking line, then THIRD jig go slightly left from top, cause it's probably a velodyna carp or a crayfish

if second far right jig states: you are taking line, then it's probably a blindfish. blindfish are right to far right. since your second jig was far right, then that means you are close, which means jig to the right and you'll hit the blindfish.

Vulture Flies, though slightly harder to come by, will net you about 15% more pike than using Wildfoul Flies in the same waters. They are still a favorite of the Crimsons and Carp, but the pike seem to bite on them quite a bit more so than the wildfouls.
