The Avian Big Catch Contest! [CANCELLED]

That's right ladies, gents, and Bothans. The Big Catch Contest is back, this time under new management so the rules are a little different.

The Contest:
The fisherman that makes the largest catch for the month will be awarded 20,000 credits and a personalized trophy. If that catch also happens to break the all-time record an extra 20,000 credits will be awarded. The catch will need to be verified before the award is given.

The Extra Opportunities:
Even if you don't win the contest you can still benefit for your effort. Through my vendor I will be purchasing fish meat for 5cr per unit (just as Ta'lon did). I will also be purchasing the actual fish for 500 credits each. I'll be reselling these with a small markup just to cover my vendor costs. I may not always buy them though, it will depend on my current stock. Remember that I will always be buying the fish meat.

FAQ:
Q. How do I fish?
A. Check out Talon's Guide to Fishin'

Q. Where can I get a fishing pole?
A. At Romsuiag's Retail Merchant Tent. Located in Avian City, Talus on the main commercial strip. The coords are, -6011, 347

Man... I really miss fishing with Obo in front of the old Naboo PA Hall.

Oh well... one more thing to look forward to when I get back!

Funny you should say that because I was just about going to put the nix on this whole thing due to the lack of interest. We'll see though.

I've just been saving my largest fish until closer to the end of the month Rom, so you have at least one person still doing it.

Im in, & I think I might have a winner....

Where can I find cheap baits ?

_________________
Flyoc,
Farm with attitude.

Sometimes I have bait on my vendor, but that stuff sells out faster than I care to collect.

Bait is found either by foraging or, when you fillet a fish, you get chum bait from it. Ask around and someone may be able to help you out.

Nice Rom! Do the old records still stand? (besides the all-time record you posted i mean)

How much do you buy bait for?

I read it as just the overall largest fish for the month and not the largest of each type like we did before (though that was a lot of fun breaking them down that way).

Like Warnel said, the largest fish caught that month regardless of species.

100cr per bait unit

I have been having problems with fishing. When I try to /fish, I get the message that I do a cast, but I see no animation and get no fishing window.

No fish from me...

Edward/Rak Hagga

Yes, the devs did something and now fishing is bugged (at least it was prior to todays patch, maybe it has been fixed).

You might want to practice your skills on Rori right now. Great fish meat, the Avian Chefs would take it out of your hands in a hurry.

Edward/Rak Hagga
travelled to Rori just in order to fish some

master ed can u send send me a waypoint to a good fishing spot on rori
and 1 question is there such a thing as a "big reel-in" opposed to a "small reel-in"?

_________________
-Jedo Snidre

Nope, no "big reel-in"

Send me (Rak) an ingame mail, so I'll remember to send you the WP where I have been fishing. Only 4 stars, but nice and shallow, so no danger to lose your fish when running towards the bobber.

Edward/Rak Hagga

This is a actually an old thread and since I made it I received no interest so it has been called off.

Sorry. I'll edit the first post.
