Overlapping Fishing spots

[bold lance]

Platform: PS4
Issue: Even More miraculous fishing bait not expiring. I need common fish. 😩

[tough creek]

Platform: Switch
Issue: Catching Here and There fish don't count towards dreamlight duty for catching 3 fish in Frosted Heights

[hardy void]

Encountered same on PC (Epic Games), for Forest of Valor.

[fleet river]

Platform: Steam/PC
Issue: Even More Miraculous Fishing bait is permanent. I cannot catch any fish in white circles as the circles all turn red. This means I cannot catch fish such as herring and cannot complete tasks requiring herring.

[granite onyx]

I cant fish since update. Cant get tool wheel at all . Cant do anything

[flat shadow]

Platform: Switch
Issue: I haven’t been getting any Fugu from the gold fishing spots while fishing in Dazzle Beach in the rain for a very long time and the issue still persists as of the latest update.

[unborn marten]

Platform: Steam
Issue: Catching 3 Bass in Peaceful Meadow counted towards Dreamlight Duty "Catch 3 Fish from Frosted Heights".

[junior cloud]

Platform: Switch
Issue: Catching the mirror in the water with new update. Bubble appeared under a rock and it not view able to catch.

[dull tendon]

Platform: Switch
Issue: same as others-- can't get a regular fish like herring because the bait won't wear off.

[wraith kelp]

Just caught a fish at Dazzle Beach, and got the achievement for catching fish at the Glade

[hollow turtle]

Platform: Xbox
Issue: The emerald bottle in the small pond in the Meadow isn't there for me.

[ocean horizon]

Platform : PS5
Fishing Rod miracle bait elixir won't wear off, making it impossible to catch herring and complete the star path duties

[odd turret]

Same problem here since update

[calm pulsar]

Let me know if anybody else has this issue. How come I have to catch 99,9 million fish in order to complete this task?

[placid sail]

Platform: PS5
Issue: 16th emerald bottle is missing for green potato quest. Cant find it anywhere even with guides.

[dark grove]

Platform: Pc
Issue: miracle fishing rod shine none stop for a months now I use Miracle Fishing Bait just one time. And rn I can’t fishing white bubble

[dark grove]

Same

[blazing moat]

Platform : Xbox One S
Issue : Once in a while ( not frequent; it happens maybe once in 75 or so,) the shrinking catch circle doesn't show up. The noise and green signal does still show up so it's still possible to tell when to hit A, but it's harder. (I actually prefer it and would like an option to turn it off permanently, but I figured it might be an issue.)

[fleet river]

@manic sundial Same here - I've searched every square inch of water in both regular and decorating mode. I've moved every movable item out of the way. No 16th emerald bottle.

Also, I just caught three fish in Sunlit and got the daily duty achievement for catching three fish in Forgotten.

[manic sundial]

Platform: Switch
Issue: 16th emerald bottle is missing for green potato quest. Cant find it anywhere even with guides.

[formal wedge]

Also same, except I play on pc through Steam.

[fleet river]

I forgot to put that I also play on PC through Steam.

[ivory mural]

Playing on PC/Xbox, i have no bubbles in Sunlit Plateau (Scar is leveled up) and I can not fish for walleye.

[atomic linden]

Is there a fix to find the 16th emerald bottle I've checked everywhere

[verbal mirage]

Platform: PC, Steam
Caught fish in Sunlit Plateau and got achievement for catching fish in Forest of Valor, got the same earlier just with the beach and the glade

[eager horizon]

Platform: Xbox
Issue: Moana's fishing boat says it won't have more fish for days. When I look on the switch its working like normal, it's just on Xbox that it says Wait Time: 4 days

[tough creek]

Platform: Switch
Issue: In pond towards back of Sunlit Plateau, fish often spawn right in the middile of the pond and can't actually reach with fishing pole from anywhere on the shore

[unique snow]

Not getting Kingfish or Here and There fish, need them for the Star Path. Farmed for 2 hours last night 9-11pm for kingfish, and didn't get any. Photo is just one of my attempt at the Here and There fish.

[bold marten]

Platform: Nintendo Switch
Issue: Miracle Fishing Bait not expiring

[atomic linden]

Still haven't found the 16th emerald bottle I've checked everywhere I've noticed some others have this problem too, does anyone know if there's a fix or if the devs will fix it?

[twilit sandal]

On Xbox platform
Issue: I have fished for days (almost daily since the update) in all the spots for bass to spawn. In all the colors fishing spots (but especially white since that’s where they spawn). I haven’t caught a single bass since the update and I can’t complete the star path quest for it. When I fish, I go to each bass area and try there before I give up again.

[jagged girder]

On Switch : I have the same problem with the 16th bottle in the Glade of Trust. In the guide it shows where it is but all I have are strange lines moving across the bank where it's supposed to be in the water.

[umbral torrent]

platform: nintendo switch
issue: when fishing, sometimes the timing circles dont show up and i dont know when to press A
video:

[hybrid pecan]

Platform: Nintendo Switch
In the frosted heights I fished in every spot and the fish won't respawn. I tried walking away and they still won't respawn

[wheat roost]

Platform: PC
Issue: I was fishing in the Glade and a Dreamlight task marked as complete for fishing on Dazzle Beach. The fish that marked it was Herring.

[ionic pivot]

I'm having the same issue. I've caught probably 100 fish without the Even More Miraculous Fishing Bait expiring. I've been stuck with it for days. It's interfering with my ability to do quests because I can't catch more common fish.
Platform: Steam

[fickle fractal]

Platform: Switch
Issue: Herring is the only fish spawning on dazzle beach

[humble sail]

Same here... like, I need to catch bass for the star path but now I can't 🙃 it's a tad frustrating... like it would be so op if all I wanted was to farm gold standard fish but 🤣

[gaunt dock]

Also having the same issue

Issue: 16th bottle is not appearing for me following the guides the one I'm missing is in glade of trust  by the stone bridge.

[topaz oxide]

Platform: PS5
Issue: Sometimes fishing nodes will disappear and respawn elsewhere while I’m actively fishing in that node

[placid sail]

The one that was missing for me was the one in the largest pond in the meadow. I ended up having to cloud save, delete the game, reinstall, and reload my cloud save to finally get it to repawn so i could fish it 🙃

[zenith sable]

Platform: PS5
No bass spawning for days

[tawny cairn]

I have this same issue on PS5

[jade haven]

Platform: PC
Issue: No 16th emerald bottle for the green potato quest. I have looked everywhere, used guides, and even restarted the game and my computer. It is just missing.

[tough knoll]

Platform: switch
Issue: Can't fish up any bottles (may be user error as I caught one, but in prepping for making the rainbow potion I transformed the gold potato into a potion before I got the others?).

Edit: I am apparently two halves of a whole. I've been looking for them in the fishing bubbles because that's where I got the first.

[cedar flume]

I am having this same problem.

[half pawn]

Can’t catch carp. Fishing for over 1.5 hrs in the areas they spawn and have caught 2.

[fallen jasper]

Platform: PS4
Issue: I fished all the spots for the emerald bottles but when changing them into the emerald slivers, I got to 11 and on the 12th one it went back to 10 slivers and now I only have 14 slivers and I have triple maybe quadruple checked all bodies of water and there is nothing to get.

[thick merlin]

Platform: steam
Issue: I'm missing one green bottle for the potato

[primal wind]

Any having issue with finding the emerald bottles I got 15/16 and the last one just isn’t there for the green potato

[proven lark]

Platform: Switch
Issue: Villagers coming to watch you fish get in the way, this affecting your ability to complete the ‘Catch 100 Fish without Failing’ task.

[muted ore]

Platform: Xbox Series X

Issue: No bass spawning. Ive been playing for at least 4-6 hours a day for the past few days and absolutely no bass is spawning at all.

[lethal panther]

Platform: switch
Issue: miraculous fishing bait WILL NOT expire, it’s literally been 2 months and I can’t catch one single common fish for any quest atall, I really thought this would of been fixed with the new update😩

[fiery walrus]

Platform: Xbox
Issue: Unable to find kingfish for star path task

[pure sorrel]

Platform: PC X-Box
Issue: The new Dreamlight dutie shave the task to fish for a certain fish or in a certain Biome. I had three tasks;
Fish in the Peaceful Meadow, Fish in the Frozen Heights and catch 3 Walleye. So I went to the Sunlit Plateau to catch Walleye, did my round of fishing there and all of a sudden the 'Fish in the Frosted heights' was completed and the 'Fish in the Peaceful Meadow' had 1/3 done. I don't think I did this, I'm like 98 percent sure I went to the Sunlit Plateau and the tasks were uncompleted. Someone told me to post here.
Screenshot/Video: N/A

[tough flicker]

Platform: Switch
Issue: Can't catch the kingfish no matter how many times I've tried all I get is shrimp and other fish

[winter oracle]

Platform: PC (Xbox)
Issue: Never Expiring Miraculous Fishing Bait - I forgot this was an issue and my smart self applied some to my fishing pole 😢
Screenshot/Video:

[manic tartan]

Platform: Switch Issue:If I fish out a bubble, no more spawn. I also cannot pick any herbs.

[worthy nebula]

Platform: Xbox One
Issue: Miraculous fishing bait will not expire. I am unable to complete the star path tasks. The fish are not counting toward the limits. My fishing rod is still glowing after fishing for days.

[atomic linden]

Platform: Steam & Switch
Issue: When receiving the timer bonus for fish, the wrong fish appears. Example: I fished an anglerfish in the Forgotten Lands, and Sole showed as the timed bonus.

[zenith sable]

Try fishing blue circles at night, ideally after 6pm

[stiff jay]

I’m having the same issue, so far it’s only bass. I’ve gone several times in different biomes. Did they lower spawn rates ?

[brave prawn]

I've been having the same issue of my fishing bait not expiring. I went into the wardrobe section, tools, and then clicked on the fishing pole. It may be a coincidence but when I left that screen my fishing pole was back to normal. Something to try, maybe?

[honest oasis]

Hi, none of my fishing spots are spawning. What do i do?

[inner nymph]

Platform: Switch
Hi idk what to put this under but I’m finishing my Dreamlight tasks and I noticed the “here and there fish” isn’t registering as me having caught a fish in any biome or under catch seafood so it’s not counting towards any tasks when I catch them anywhere

[vale obsidian]

I got an email from gameloft today and they said they are aware of the fishing issue on Xbox and are working to fix it. Hopefully they will soon

[stoic cove]

platform- pc - Issue: can not fish up the green bottle from the pond in the back of goofy's house for the crystalinne green potion quest to be able to eventually make the rainbow potion. i have fished in the right spot at the pond for house and yet no signs of that green bottle XD, it is the last green bottle that i need for the crystalline green potion
