    I'm lv.18 fishing using Bloodworms near the Bloodshore camp. Very often, I would say in 80% of Nibble/Bites I'm getting "The fish got away." message on the first try to find a sweetspot. What am I doing wrong?

    - EDIT -

    I would like to ask, what is the difference between "You feel a nibble." and "You feel a bite."?
    And another question. Why sometimes I'm pulling the fish right away when I hit the right sweetpoint, and sometimes I got the "fish is tired" message even if it's the same fish e.g. Bianaq Bream?

    I'm wondering the same thing. I'm level 22, my gear is up to date giving me 50 gathering, 32 output, and 41 perception. I'm fishing at Emerald Moss, which is grade 2, and the entire camp is aimed towards folks 10-19, which you'll note I'm over. I'm using Snurble Flies, and usually get the "The fish seem to be biting on snurble flies" message.

    So, why is it I keep getting fish leaving on the first jig? Or, perhaps more annoying, I get fish where I only get 2-3 tries, which means not only do I not have enough attempts to play "hot or cold", but it uses up a spot at a fishing node if I'm using one. I should be quite overpowered for this camp, I'm only here to try and work on my achievements, you'd think I'd have an easy time here like with mining or botany... and instead it feels like I'm underlevelled instead of overlevelled.

    Nibble means you must Wait until it turns into Bite, getting constant Nibbles and no Bites means the area outranks your current level, you can still get catches but it takes far longer than if you cast at an area suited to your level.

    I dont understand your last question, Fish is Tired means you just repeat the same place you last hit.
