Sorry about duplicate images.

The only reliable location I catch a fish is in one pond next to my house.

The second pond beyond the greenhouse does not catch fish.

My only success with now 25 traps in five locations, Is one pond next to my house.

I added new location on the side ocean. Two days no fish yet.

Hiya @frigid gull. Thanks for reporting this issue!
Can you let us know how many days you checked and took items out of the bamboo net? 😄

[frigid gull]

Hi dinda, I try to clear the nets every day. no less than every other day tho, because I want to have an empty net to give the best chance to catch a fish. If I see a garbage or a magazine I clear it out to give the net another chance to catch a fish.

Today on day 6 of fall I caught one fish in the mine all other 23 traps is trash or magazine again, or just empty until tomorrow.

What is the expected percentage chance to catch a fish? So far I am 8 or 9 days x 20+ traps and only 1 fish caught in mine and zero percent in Ocean Forest, Ocean Beach.

Lots of fish for Pond by house, almost 100% each day.

0 percent for pond by greenhouse.

Today I will try new nets for Forest, Farm and Town rivers. 👍🏻

I did have some success in my new locations today, Ocean Dock, and mines, But NOT the ones I mentioned above.

Estuary and Ocean Dock is working first day!

Thanks for sharing all this info with us, @frigid gull! Just to check—are you using fish bait or not? We’ll work with the team to check the fish chances percentage for you!

[frigid gull]

I have not used any baits for any traps. I use mostly large and some small.

I have also used a high casting number 3 to throw the nets?

For the ocean beach, I will use baits this week (Coral time) and see what happens.

[frigid gull]

New locations working fine first day, no bait.

[distant sorrel]

So, I checked with the team about the bamboo net percentages, and even without bait, the chances of catching fish are actually higher than getting trash. I’ll let them know about the specific location you shared that isn’t catching any fish at all

Thanks for bringing this to our attention @frigid gull!

We're also glad to hear you're able to catch fish in other spots now! 🎣
If you come across any other locations with the same issue, just let us know 😊

[frigid gull]

I appreciate your attention to the matter and your feedback!

I did put bait in 15 large nets at various location at the Ocean Beach, using maximum cast, so next time I play I will reply with any feedback.

The good news for me is I still enjoy the game and I have already completed the journal fish set, so this is more just passive collection to past the time while I wait for the next update.

Thank you team!

So it's been four farm days and I relocated all of these and put bait in all.
.. and I haven't caught a single 🐠
And mostly they just stay empty.
😭 🌊

Seems to be just the Ocean Beach that is completely empty of 🐠 for me. If I use my fishing rod of course I will catch lots and lots of fish, But not with the net traps. 😩

I think that is all of the testing I will do. I have found some good spots for fish so I will just keep using those spots, And on the beach I will use my fishing rod. 🐟🎣 Thank you!

@distant sorrel I think it's fixed????

[frigid gull]

Yay!
