Currently we only have one fishmonger in Sandy Shores, and the only locations displayed on the Fishing app are near Sandy Shores as well.
While this is kinda fine, it limits where players can successfully fish and sell their fish. My solution? Add more fishing locations and at least two more fishmongers.
Where, you ask?
Location #1: Paleto Bay Pier
This location is closer to Paleto Bay allowing players who would like to be more Paleto orientated a place to fish.
As you can see, there is an extensive pier at this location along with a dock for boats (could be nice to move the Paleto boat vendor to here as well).
And I also believe this is where we should have our second Fishmonger. At the start of the dock, there is actually a bait and tackle store! (I think he'd fit well right where I'm standing).
Location #2:
Yes, Del Perro Pier. At the end, there's a nice spot that would be good for fishing into the sea, and would give the pier some actual usage!
And for the third Fishmonger? I think the best place would be:
La Spada, a medium italian seafood restaurant located fairly close to the Boat Rental location for the city, and not too far away from Del Perro Pier!
And lastly...
Location #3: The Deep Sea
I don't have any funny pictures for this one, but it would be cool if the deep sea (as in, anywhere off of where the map is drawn) is a 24/7 hotspot for fishing and would give the player either a lot of fish or expensive fish for each successful catch, as to offset the cost of renting a boat (I know the LSPD have their own boat and they also have the heli so if people start stealing boats then it can be dealt with).
Now the obvious question people are gonna ask me is "nobody goes fishing so why bother" well I think this is only due to how it's been implemented. If you look back at the early progress threads there was loads of people ranting and raving about wanting to do fishing, but there aren't any. I think this is just due to how limited it is. There isn't much in Sandy (at the minute) and for me, I want to get into Fishing on my EMS character Dr. Lively but I, as an EMS, cannot be all the way in Sandy all the time, but Del Perro Pier? That's not too far away.
If there's more locations to sell your fish, and more locations to get good catches, then I honestly think more people will go fishing. I've yet to work out the prices of all the available fish so if they need tweaking at all I'll probably make a new thread for that, but for now I think it's just a matter of how far away it is for fishing.
(Also, if this goes through I will personally oversee the creation of a fishing club on Lively and maybe host fishing tournaments on Current Affairs.)
(I also might add more locations as I explore the map for good fishing spots, so stay tuned.)
