Scum 0.5 | How To Fish & What Skills You Will Need 

Best tutorial yet. No other tutorial I watched explained the faster reeling option

The realistic nature of fishing in this game is incredible!! You literally build your rod just as you would in reel life 😂 thanks foe the heads up on which skills you need to have in order to craft the rods and such! Great video, much more in depth than any other I’ve seen!

thankyou, you are the first video i could actually watch, the other folks just kept and blithering and blabbing without actually getting to the point

I bought this game a couple of weeks ago after watching some of your vids. This game really is coming on in leaps and bounds with 0.5 and all the additions it brings with it. The lighting update and the fishing mechanics are fantastic.

Pretty damn awesome. Makes me wanna actually go fishing in real life though haha.

Fishing is lovely~ Only thing the disappointed me is, that you can cook the whole fish, without needing to chop it down into fillets, even has "check taste" and "eat" option, it will show you the usually slightly cooked and cooked. But! If you click on "eat", nothing will happen... : / Had a 2.3kg Orata, cooked it, couldn1t eat it... then l tried a 0.1kg Sardine, again, nothing. Hope it will be fixed and we can eat whole fish too!

As a rather new player these tutorial videos are both incredibly helpful and encouraging as they both open up the map in terms of places I feel comfortable enough to explore but also something new to try as I’m currently getting a stockpile and gear ready for a fishing expedition day.

Awesome little guide! U keep postin' i'll keep learning ^^

Been waiting for this, thanks dude!

honestly i was waiting for this vid of fishing. love the tutorial raykit .

Great video mate. Fishing is looking so good and cannot wait to see them expand on this! Maybe some big game fishing for mahi-mahi, sail fish n sharks to come with dedicated big game reels and steel traces. Fish traps and cast nets would be great too.

Very helpful, thank you Ray!

I swear to God! I never figured out how to fish) I was really looking forward to this guide! Thank you very much Mr. RayKit)

Thanks again for an awesome video

More great info! Can't wait to get a line in. Thanks again for the info!!

This was a very well thought out and great explanation video. Thank you!

I found a whole lot of fishing supplies (no rod for some reason) and I thought I would finally try my hand at this. Thanks for the guide.

Thank you so much Ray, you explained it well and I can fish now... You are the best

I'm on a roleplay server, so I like having an outfit (Fishing hat included of course), a radio, and beer. Very relaxing!

Bless brotha, that's what I Was looking for

Lovely video, wow I didn't realise you could use focus mode to see where the fish are, would be great to see a good tutorial vid about Tuna fishing it's very different from shallow water fishing and I'm struggling to master it.

Appreciate tips man, my guy this time around is going to be all about hunting, fishing and gathering veggies / fruits etc. Really excited to get goin.

I hope there will be a craftable hobo reel which fits in the backpack and can be taken out for a little survival fishing at any time even if you have two weapons on your back. (You can take back the line from the water if you press V instead of yank up.)

Best way i have found to fish is just like normal fishing, cast out leave it sitting in the water like you would, no need to keep reeling in then casting again, just leave it where it lands and wait. When the float dips, STRIKE... Fight the fish and bring it in. Fish for dinner. YUMMEH!

Thank you soo much. Taught ne a good amount.

I can’t wait to gather everything to fish

Awesome RayKit. Needed this.

I saved the whole topic "for later" because it seemed to complex to just jump in. Now I will try - thanks Ray.

My gawd.. wait.. There is actually a lot of fishing gear! Played 16 hours running from dock to dock to village and still not a single fishing rod.. can't create one with my low skill but guess I have to reroll a character if i can't find a rod. Thank you for this video! looking forward to get my fishing career started >

This is awesome. It feel like we're having a vacation to go on a fishing trip🤩.

Thanks for the tutorial. What do you think about making a series where you show how to get in and out of bunkers and POI's while avoiding the mechs? With all the new bunkers this would be really helpful.

If the world was really at odds... or "post apocalyptic " I like to think my fishing skill would help.. lol, great video Raykit.

Cheers for this Video, as Allways much appreciated for the great content

neat vid thanks

very helpful video

Thanks you a lot

Nice catch there hopefully i get a bigger one ... awesome work mate keep up the awesome work 🐟

Some fishs are kinda close to the max what your rod+line can handle. Then you have to reel slowly in even if the bar hits the top red box.

I love your videos also your voice and accent :D

oh yea

I do reel line float hook and then bait ...also you holding left click after you cast so you ready to strike

Thanks for the vid

Very good video just 1 question, ou about line 0,5? I sent the most resistent line?

Cheers.

You don't need to reel the line in while fishing. I find its easier to see the bite if you leave it stationary until the fish bites.

What type of skills you need to fish bigger fish? Strength helps in something? And does intelect also affect in some way?

In terms of *survival*... Fishing as a complete mechanic to this level was a simple (not easy!) yet great addition!

wowww this game its insane

you dont have to reel the line in while you wait. just let it float till a fish pulls the bobber down. then you left click not just a quick tap. full click to hook the fish. also there is def a bug around catching larger fish. 1. they dont get tired ever, 2. even a 5kg fish can break your 10kg line super easy. any fish over 5kg good luck they just take all your line

Gone Fish'n :-)

The only problem i have is in the crafting menu it says you can use makeshift rope, thread, or rope to craft the rod but in the game it would only let me use rope and not the makeshift kinds. I hope they fix it.

Do you mind telling us/asking devs, if rods even spawn on the island? And if so, where because as of now, met pretty much nobody who has found a single rod. Everyone spawned one in via command

We've yet to find a fishing pole; or some damn rope to craft one..

did you ever talk about what skills you needed to be able to be a good fisher

The biggest one are in the lake, middle C2. But you need a boat, can't catch them, they are too far.

i was missing the bobber! i thought it would work without it. NOPE! i went ahead and looted a bunch of liquor cabinets in a2 town. got like 10+ in less than 5 minutes of looting, looting those little liquor holders in houses. then i just make needles out of zambie bones. i wish you could loot a full fishing rod in houses but at least you can craft what you need like similar scenarios. like a lack of ak bullets(craft them). over 2k hours in the game so far. i never truly like the vehicle portion. i wish there were servers that had just motor boats and bicycles. i like to get the achievements in this game. i recommended to the devs in my steam review to add more sea crafts like craftables and findables like a big old school wooden ship that can hold cannons. a ferry ship would be insane(carrying vehicles and more). i think there should at least be an automated ferry that goes between z1 base and naval base. CiGrip lets go

Can you use improvised float with the rods or does the improvised stuff only work with improvised stuff?

awsome that you reply to ppl....... I figured it out myself bb

This helps but idk what im doing wrong, the line always breaks on the second throw and the big fish pull so hard its almost impossible to reel it in for me.

I bet the devs could make some money by using branded fishing gear.

yes but how do you make the improvised fishing gear i cant seem to make the rod it says i have everything.

Where can you find the floats or can you craft them?

It's still a way off the fishing in RDR2 (which is astonishing) but it's a great start and I'm sure it'll develop as they go.

wish you would of shown where that was on map very pretty location

is the high end fishing gear available to spawn in. during singleplayer?

I have found the Easter Egg in the video lol ;)

Apparently, it IS possible to catch those super big fish somehow. There are a couple people on my server who I have seen regularly catch tuna at around 20kg! But they won't share their secret... Can you find this out and let us know? I love all your content! Thanks!

as a dane i approve this message. keep of the trawling though, its bad for the inviroment :P

Nice tutorial. But i always have the problem, i cant catch Bigger fish.....the line always brok if i get some fater dudes. If i give hime some Line bc i dont want to break him, the rood make strange wobbles :D U got an answer for that? greetings :)

Fishing is the best part of the update.

😊😊

I just started playing scum after a little hiatus, and from the crafting menu says I can use tree bark rope to make a fishing rod but when I try I can't?? Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I know this is a few months old now. But its patch 6.0 and I am having issues with fishing, it won't reel in all the time and I have to click a few buttons to get it to start reeling, then it still won't work every time i scroll the wheel. I also don't have line animations most the time like it shows here.. anyone else having issues lately? I remember it worked before, but I haven't fished much lately.

where is the best place to find fishing gear?

Why is the improvised reel greyed out for me ? I cant't craft it

Even with the best equipment, some fish break off, anybody knows how to fix it?

Hey dude, have you seen the 15kg line in the wild? Anyone?

Wait what?! How!? When?!? Why are you so shite RU-vid?!! *this video has been out FOUR DAYS!!!* and the Button Basher as only just SMASHED that LIKE button! Im disappointed. In myself and my youtube bell end!!! 😔

Still works like this in 0.7 ?

You don't have to reel it when you put a bobber on.

The corks are hard to find

So to craft an improvised Fishing Rod you need 5m rope, cant use normal rope, that you make from sticks? I dont think I have seen a 5m rope in months. probably will find a rod before I can craft and improvised rod.

has anyone got one of the really big fish on that you cant reel in i dunno if its a bug or not . was using heaviest line all i could do was reel out

Helpful. Can you eat raw fish?

Just a heads-up the floats if you take them out of the package they don't show in the vicinity for some reason the glowing one did'nt show up and only noticed them because it was night

Can you eat raw fish? I haven’t tried the fishing yet.

where are you suposed to find the wine corks

You need high strength to catch big fish. I don't know why no videos say this but if you don't have high enough strength you won't be able to catch much above 5kg.

Try catch a fish biger than 4 kg . :) Its not that simple .

How to catch BIG FISH ?

Me someone who has fished for more than 20 years : no Ray it's not that simple ... Xd

Improvised fishing rods only seem to accept improvised line, even with a legit reel on them... at least a year later *Shrug* or im stupid...

pro tip, don't be this guy, don't reel in a floater, you reel in spinners and lures, not floater bait or sinker bait.

There are sharks in the game. Why can't we be fishing a shark ? Devs should add this before they lead 1.0

Hey RayKit nice Video. I practiced a lot of fishing and could give you some interesting news. If you are intreresseted so send me an dm Massage. Ty for your nice Tutorial...its a lot of helpf and realy helpfully

im be honest, i played the new Update for 1 hour and got bored again. the lack of PvE Content is still too much so i uninstalled the Game again

Totaly wrong way, you can just leave it in water and wait for fish, no need to role it back to You
