Something changed in C5 with fishing....

Hey everyone. I am having some wierd problems with fishing.
The fish, get my bait and run away!
I mean like, i get 1 bite that i can pull the fish out and tada! i have a fish.
Then, i might use even 20 lures and lose all of em cause **** fish take it and leave!
I use green colored lure. In C4 there were different grade lures (low, medium, high grade). Now only 3. Does that mean the most expencive one will not fail so much? Cause there is no point of getting another color lure that is more expencive and the fish will still take u bate and leave..
if youre talking about the problem of not getting a bite, thats always been there (although it seems more prevalent since c5). the different grades of lures give you a better chance of getting a good fish. it is unclear whether that means a fish that will give you something decent, or if it means youll catch more regular/large sizes than small/regular ones.

make sure youre using fishing shots too; youve less time now to reel in your fish.
I dont care if the fish gives me something decent. I want to be able to actually fish and not see the message Baits have been lost because the fish got away....
Its been up to 30minutes that i kept getting this message.. Of course i am testing the new prize winning lures. Maybe these lures are really crap :P
Its no lures problem just new anti-bot fishing thing.
You need to move to new place every 10-15 min or you will see no fish around 20-30 min.

From my experience you need to move not very far but few steps only arent enought.
If you changing your fishing spots almost 99% lures = fish.
Wow, thats a nice anti-bot thingy ;)
Didnt know that ^^
Thanks for the info, I ll try it. I hope its this :-S
and there are more fish outside of towns
the prize winning lures I think are meant for the King fisher competition. So if your using them that might just be the reason.
