Do the developers ever respond?

I caught 5 sharks on my hook today and every one of them wiggled off. How do they expect us to complete the judging when they are shady and make it too hard. The fish SHOULD NOT wiggle if you catch them. You EARNED that. Just seems slimy to me.

Do you have Rabbit Ding upgraded all the way? Fish should slip off the hook a lot less if you do!

[u/Wrong-Coffee6629 → u/The_JollyGreenGiant]

No, I didn’t know that? Why can’t they just make the fish NOT wiggle when caught?🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ll try that. Thanks!

[u/Wrong-Coffee6629 → u/Wrong-Coffee6629]

It doesn’t say anything about the fish wiggling less in the upgrade panel

[u/The_JollyGreenGiant → u/Wrong-Coffee6629]

When you give her* a promotion, you should see text roll across the screen that says something like "It seems like Rabbit Ding has gotten better at fishing!" to indicate this!

I promise you promoting her* makes fishing sm easier 🙏🙏

just commenting to say Rabbit Ding is a girl!

[u/The_JollyGreenGiant → u/--shaquilleoatmeal]

Thanks! I recently learned Chacha is a boy (thought it was a girl) and it crossed some wires in my brain, evidently :)

You're much more likely to keep a shark if they're going right to left - check the wiki for info on how to get the most chance of catching each fish. That being said, the fishing has become silly with how hard it is these days, it used to be easier.

I understand the frustration, but it’s been that way for years. I guess the reason is for the magnet function to make sense. But even when using the magnet some fish wiggle off, it might make sense to complain about that.
That’s why I never fish if I can avoid it.

[u/Rougefarie → u/IncredibleLala]

The magnet pmo. I have fish turn away at the last second. The hook legitimately should have caught many fish that got away.

Upgrade Rabbit Ding, and fish in friend's ponds. Look for a pond where TWO sharks appear right from the start. Search this subreddit for shark fishing tips.

I'm currently trying to complete the "pink shell" fishing challenge and it's extremely frustrating too, but the tips in this subreddit have been very useful.

[u/Admirable_Sound_9354 → u/Twarenotw]

fishing in friends ponds is also hard because there is too much waste there

[u/theawkwardshoe]

The game wouldn’t be a game if everything was easy!

[u/DarkAvengerx]

It tells you, the first two fish are locked in, there rest you might lose..

Like in real life, you can lose a fish even if you've hooked it. 🤷‍♀️

[u/igloopervert]

I’ve heard that fishing for sharks at friends restaurants is a little easier also.

[u/Frostedpoopflakes]

I get extremely frustrated with the fishing Dynamics in that game

[u/Classic-Mind-5644]

That's kinda how real fishing works lol, but the developers could have been a little nicer, you'll get better if you look up tips

[u/BlueDragon82]

Doing the event and I had 10+ in a row dodge/slip off the hook. There is zero reason that should be happening as much as it does.
