Fishing is pretty solid if you’re doing it right. The RNG is minor and not that crazy like everyone is making it out to be. Depending on what you’re trying to catch (bait/hook/depth) determines what’s available in the potential catch options. If you seem to be getting many different things with the setup you are using, change it up and find something else. You may still be able to catch what you’re trying to catch but lower the total catchable options in the availability pool.
My personal experience from what I fish for gives me a total of 4 outcomes. 2 of those outcomes are what I’m fishing for, 2 are generally not what I’m fishing for.
Typical 1 hour of not being distracted will net anywhere from 90-150g.
Ok now go do that somewhere that isn't toxai or meduli and try to catch fish you don't know the setup for. Once you understand a fish's setup things aren't so bad, sure, but the amount of time and bullcrap you have to invest just to test a singular area with all sorts of bait, depth, time, weather, and hook size is ridiculous. These people are either getting lucky, using MO1 setups that worked and were not spread around, or spending hundreds of hours testing various locations with the above factors.
Oh and don't forget that there are constantly people roaming around trying to kill you outside of town. You may have alts right now to relieve some of the pressure, but those won't last forever.
