Guest Posted January 3, 2016 I've been meaning to try out fishing. what bodies of water produce fish? I'm pretty sure the large ones with docks do, but what about others? streams? the ocean? I have both a fishing pole setup and fish traps made and ready. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
w1ked (DayZ) 0 Posted January 3, 2016 Any pond can be used to fish with the improvised fishing rod,however fish traps only work in the ocean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonvel 5 Posted January 3, 2016 And remember each implement you use requires "bait." You can dig up worms with any of the tools you can use to make a garden plot. (Not sure if how you bait a fish "net" trap... may not apply). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RECTopcat 4 Posted January 3, 2016 yeah my hooks are baited. I think you bait the net traps with guts. the traps I have are the small ones made from water bottles, though.Those are sardine traps and can only be used in the ocean ! Where as regular pole fishing can only be done in ponds / lakes (meaning not in the ocean). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 4, 2016 tried several pond-ish bodies of water and the 3rd one let me fish (they have to be a certain size I guess). caught 4 fish and a pristine pair of wellies XD (seriously) before I exhausted the worms I brought. and then I shot a cow on the way home. surf and turf! :-D almost had a boar too (that woulda been all 3 food groups) but it got away. :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nexdemise 16 Posted January 6, 2016 You can fish anywhere. I had a small puddle (about 3x6m) in my old camp back in .55. There were fish in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
