RedGuard 40 Posted July 7, 2014 Ok, it has become clear to me that fishing is not my thing. Got sniped twice while waiting for a darn carp to bite.And then yesterday got gun down at close range while chopping a tree to make a fishing rod. I have yet to enjoy the proteins and amino acids for launching a solid anti-bandit terror campaign... But why on earth do we need to fall a tree to go fishing ? Can't a hook, a worm, a string and a pristine ballistic helmet do the trick ? Red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingOfTime 267 Posted July 7, 2014 I haven't even gotten the chance to get killed while fishing. 10 hours spent searching for a fishing hook and I've found nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doctorbadsign 645 Posted July 7, 2014 Where were you fishing? Maybe go somewhere away from other players? Same goes for chopping wood. With hunting etc. I feel less and less need to go anywhere near the hot spots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xbow 362 Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) The last time I went to Black Lake I went there to observe from cover. On that day I spotted two guys fishing peacefully. but all too soon an unseen party greased one of the fishermen the other fisherman hauled ass out of the area. I hunkered down into a hide position for a minute and then tried to get a look at the shooter figuring that he would expose himself to loot the corpse and I could zap him for his asshole-ery...but he never did show himself. So apparently his sole motivation was the pure idiocy of a cheap shot charlie. Watch going into an open field to cut up a deer or hog you've shot, that's some serious exposure. Bag your game close to a tree line or better yet in the forest its safer. Edited July 7, 2014 by Xbow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are a noob and fish in the Black Lake, that is the closest lake from current spawn points than you deserved that death. FFS it's even right by NEAF and Svetlo "highway" what you expected while fishing there? You may as well fish in the lake near Solnichniy and whine that you got killed. Noob.

But Black Lake is possibly the most beautiful lake to go fishing. People have no appreciation left for anything beautiful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noob.As for myself I don't fish but don't tell me that you are the bozo that got ventilated there while I watched. What a coincidence...man that's funny :lol: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irish. 4886 Posted July 7, 2014 Ive caught fish at least 4 times in my life with my bare hands.. trout, not catfish or some carp BS.. So why I cant at least try in DayZ to catch them is beyond me.. why is there no net to craft? I want to run through the fields trying to collect butterflies goddamnit!
