Fishing & lobster nets

Hi clearly I haven't been using the fishing area properly as I just put the lures in & hope for the best. I suspected that I could be more specific & fish in particular areas for specific fish but no idea how to do it. Also reading forum I discover you can visit other fishing areas. How? Also I have lobster net & pot but cant put them in my fishing area. Where do they go? Where do you find instructions for all this?

After your nets and traps are made, go to a fishing area and touch to bring up your lures. There is a 2nd page button. Touch that and it should bring up your nets. You drag a net or a trap to the fishing area. The thing is the nets and traps take many, many hours to fill. This makes the area unavailable. For nearly a full day. I'm not sure that what you get is worth losing fishing acess for that long. I may just have Tom get the lobsters I need. Happy Farming& fishing!

Oh, that's good to know. I haven't tried using a net or a lobster trap yet. I accidentally tapped the upgrade button on my lobster pool once it was ready. Then it asked me if I wanted to upgrade. I thought, "Sure, why not?" But I didn't realize it would be back to waiting while it was under construction again. I guess I should have known better, but I'm still frustrated.

How long do the lobster traps take? After you catch the lobsters, they have to go into the lobster pool to cook? Or how does that work? I'm confused.

it takes 6 hours in the water to catch the lobster, then another 6 hours to cook the lobster.

Thanks for that, I found them. But how do you catch specific fish or is it just luck? I'm missing some but don't know how to get them. I'm just catching the same fish over & over

I've made several traps and nets and additionally was given a 'free' one, but yet do not have a second page to show my inventory. I upgraded my pool by mistake thinking it was part of the process after I wasted my free trap. It is gone, now the pool just shows a net I can't do anything with and an upgrade button. Please help.

Catching specific fish with nets would be luck, but judging by what others have said you don't get much of a variety with nets. I haven't brought up my nets yet so couldn't tell you.

Catching specific fish with lures requires you to use the vouchers that make that colour lure - so blue vouchers for a blue lure, green vouchers for a green lure. Some fish prefer 1 colour lure, but will also be able to be caught by another colour lure.

The golden trout can ONLY be caught by a lure made with a gold voucher.

Now that you can visit other peoples' fishing areas you can also open up their books and see clearly what colour lure is needed for different fish.
