16:30 congrats! just for reference, I'm lvl 38 and got 1100 hrs real life playtime. caught my first ever bream trophy last week at the same spot. been trying for at least 150 hrs.
Kuori soon, and that's a great map for both XP and silver: trolling during the day, bottom fishing for burbot and char at night. Can also float fish for trout and whitefish.
Have you spent any skill points yet? Certain skills are more important early on than others, some skills can wait till later, either because they aren't used until a later point, or because unlocking the different things attached to the skill cost too much silver for new players.
