Fishing... we need to talk.

[Zorlinta]

But I have fun doing it. The point of this is for discussion and ways to help improve a job I'm passionate about. I believe you missed the point of my post if this is your take-home message.

The impression of your post is that you are not having fun fishing. Most of your suggestions will make it less funnier job. The only thing i would agree with you will be tacklebox just for have more order and less bait space to can later use with more fish.
Also the suggesion for having reduced gp is just out of place. We are really now gratefull that have something in wich spent GP and that it helps on catching fish (wich came with heavensward update).
