DayZ SA Noobie Guide: How To Fish / Craft Fishing Rod

Recommended Posts


 


Why don't people fish more? =D

 

Fishing has been out for a while but not many players have tried it so while the DayZ dev team work on fixing the loot spawning bugs Fishing gives you the ability to fend for yourself in the wilderness with nothing more than a fishing rod and a fireplace. To Craft a fishing rod you will need an axe, a fishing hook, a rope and a shovel or garden hoe to dig up the earthworms. For the cooking stage you will need to create a fireplace which will require an axe, rags, matches and to prepare the fish a sharp blade like a kitchen knife, machete or bayonet. I'l post a link on the screen here and in the description for the more detailed video guide on how to create a campfire.

 

First step to craft the rod you will need an Ashwood stick, these can be gather by cutting down an Ashwood tree with your axe with your axe. These short trees have a white trunk with far reaching branches. They can be found along the shore lines and even inside the main cities too. Once you have your ashwood stick you need to combine it with rope. Select the second option craft improvised fishing rod. Next step is to get some bait by digging up some earthworms. Place the shovel in your hands and select dig for worms. 

 

Travel over to a lake or pond. Not the sea, this wont work in the sea. Now combine your earthworms with the fishing hook and you can see the bait is attached! Drag and drop the baited fishing hook onto the fishing rod and your ready! 

 

Approach the edge of a pond and look for the ‘start fishing’ option. Click ‘start fishing’ and your player will cast the line into the pond. You will see two options in your scroll-wheel menu: ‘Check the bait’ and ‘pull out”. Wait about 20-30 second and check the line. You'l receive the messages:

‘I sense no movement near the bait’

‘There is some movement near the bait’

‘Something is cautiously examining the bait’

‘Something has just bit the bait!’

 

As soon as you see the red message ‘Something has just bit the bait!’ it is time to hit the ‘pull out’ option. If you don’t do it quickly enough, the fish will escape. There is a knack to the whole process and practice makes perfect so for your first time you’ll need to make sure you have a lot of worms.

 

so here is my first fish! You gotta love the artwork in this game. They do a lot of great work but the artwork, that artwork is dam cool. Take the tasty fishy over to the fire, bring out your kitchen knife and combine it with the fish. Select prepare fish. Place your fish on the fire, wait until changed from Raw to cooked! Again if your not sure how to make a campfire check out my How to craft a fireplace video.
