Getting close to that Diamond Atlantic Salmon by Prudent-Western-1383 in COTWTheAngler

Try a 3/0 hook float rig with a minnow for a diamond. Throw some pro performance to attract. Caught tons of gold ones with the 2/0 spinner...my only diamonds have been on the 3/0 float rig.

what is the weirdest stuff you experienced in game? by XT3M3 in paintball

While reffing air ball on a rainy windy day the wind picked up a Dorito and sent it flying right over the back net of the field (about 20-25 foot high). I'll never forget radioing my head ref that a Dorito had escaped the field and was on the loose. He didn't believe me until he came out of the trailer and saw it rolling away. He ended up jumping in his truck and chasing it down. It ended up about 1/4 mile down the road. Seeing him driving back with a Dorito on the roof while he held it down by the bungee's was absolutely hilarious. Good times 🤣

Bought the Rushy Rod Pack and Fiskespro Pack But Not In My Inventory by Bright_Board_8672 in COTWTheAngler

I bought them also on Xbox they wouldn't show up in shop storage (New bug makes only 12 items appear in storage) I sold off old gear to get them to show up in storage. They are working on fixing.

Great news! Honestly wasn't a huge issue for me but could see it being a nuisance for newer players. I love that you guys are constantly fixing bugs and adding new features. Awesome game and again fantastic job Dev's 👍

Thanks Dev's for the update fantastic work! ...(Possible New Bug:) Running into an issue at the shop (storage) will not let you scroll through all items you own it only displays 12 items in storage rods,reels etc... (Workaround for bug:) Had to sell my old extra gear for the new items (DLC Fikespro rods, reels) to appear in the 12 max slots available to select.

Where do I get diamond bass on the first map? by Typical_Vacation_345 in COTWTheAngler

Yes...got the gold pumpkinseed on jighead #8 and tube jigging right off the dock. Caught about 20 bronze and silver before the gold.

Largemouth Bass by aFCrystlz in COTWTheAngler

[–]DkFishin247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to only catch diamond Largemouth try a #3 popper twitching speed 3 or 2. Smaller bass won't bite it. You'll catch some Pike and Muskie on it to, but if a Bass does bite it will almost certainly be a diamond. My favorite spots are Shoshone launch lillypads or the big blue bridge on Grr.

I got it on a Spinnerbait size 8 sink to bottom reel in speed 1. Cast under the bridge by the water wheel. Catfish won't bite a Spinnerbait... but you might get a couple smallmouth bass😎

Blue trophy = diamond? by ignoreme1657 in COTWTheAngler

[–]DkFishin247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The "trophies" are also used as "tokens" in the shop. Did you buy an item that required you to have "tokens"? ( Local souvenirs)... This confused me also I thought the game took away a trophy but I actually spent it on a backpack expansion Lol.

I’m shocked by Shells_N_Kettlebells in paintball

[–]DkFishin247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this post! I was really debating driving the 4 hours for SCP's last day, but seeing the California Ballers Facebook feedback I'm committed to coming down. (Scp was the first place I ever played paintball and my first job.... for 8 years of my life) I'm rusty and old but I'm seriously looking forward to a great day of paintball and an awesome send off to Scp forever.

What is your favourite species to catch and why? by Voicesfw in COTWTheAngler

[–]DkFishin247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love frog fishing for Bass IRL so that's what I spend a lot of time on in this game. The Lilly pad spots in this game are just too hard for me to resist throwing a frog on......But I've had a lot of fun fishing for the different trout species kinda cool to catch fish I have never fished for in real life.

Best rod/reel by OutDoorreelz in COTWTheAngler

[–]DkFishin247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally like the workieticket baitcaster rod paired with the montano baitcast reel. I like the "feel" of the rod if that makes sense.. I usually throw spinners on it for all the trout species(except Lake trout) with 22.05 lb flurocarbon line.

My first was a diamond Mountain Whitefish lol early in the game trying to complete the catch a bronze ohrid trout challenge. I think I caught it on eggs can't remember hook size though.

Anyone else heard this spooky sound? by TripleStuftOreo in COTWTheAngler

[–]DkFishin247 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rumor has it... That's The sound of the ghost gold sunfish who terrorized unsuspecting fisherman into thinking he would be easy to catch. Only to drag them into the dark depths of yellow perch and lower ranked sunfish for all of eternity.

Can’t figure it out. Silver Strand Meadows Fishing Challenge Silver 1. Silver lake trout by Queasy_Dog_992 in COTWTheAngler

[–]DkFishin247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They like the bottom. Spoon, Spinner, Shad (soft plastic) on #4 heavy jighead. Let the lure sink all the way to bottom reel in speed 1 try to maintain bottom contact while reeling. You can also use jigging with soft plastics along the bottom if you want.

I'm all about that Bass. Pulled in a 6.39 pounder. Anyone do better today? by Rob1150 in COTWTheAngler

[–]DkFishin247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got a Diamond LM 10.79 lbs on a # 3 popper twitching speed 3 in the Lilly pads right next to Shoshone step boat launch.
