Keep track of the biggest catches in ECSD and post and submit your own records for the list!
I have created a Google Docs Sheet that should be editable by all, there’s enough rows for all of the fish so feel free to add your own or if you’d prefer to just post your records I’ll be routinely checking and combing through to see it’s all up to date.
Posting screens with evidence of your catch is a bonus but not required. We’ll operate on the honour system as I don’t see this being at much risk of abuse in this community <3
Below is the Etarc Fishing Line for handy local references.
I will also build fishing ports for handy portaling in Epic Ziagarno-Tash and Snider ECSD.
Let me know if the Google Sheet share is working okay or if theres any problems adding your records or crushing somebody elses ;0;

I am not a pro at it either but it seems to be ok. All I see is the doc and if I press the ← on it, I am taken to my own google drive which I cannot open from there…
Added my 2 cents to the doc. Hope I did it correctly.

They show up fine and look to be correct, hope the drop down options functioned okay. I have changed some of the colouring to make it a bit more legible (I pick the colours but it autopicks the font colour to contrast with it).
The great news is, the edits show up as “by anonymous users” so I am relieved I am not doxing anybody!

New Fishing Pools have been added for Gas Giants and Water Planets so this will need to be updated once I figure out what they all are 
Which has me thinking, I’ll need to add to the fishing map but also…
For the first time in years, the ECSD StarChain has undiscovered star systems…

I was wondering about that after seeing the sequence where all the 'new" purple systems blink into existence.
Made me wonder how much the area ‘filled-in’ around the star chain central column & if it did much to lessen the appearance of it.

Looks like it added to it, some are in the chain and others are dotted around it…

I think we’re safe to discuss this here, even search engine bots avoid forums discussing fishing 
If anyone asks we’re just comparing tackle
There’s a gas giant just left of centre chain, system is called Chardsent. Feels a fitting name to procgen, might start exploring around there

I’ll take a Marsh Minnow as long as there is a place to run my sinking lure. I need deep enough water to have a reason to use my octopus hook with the glowing eye jighead.

Started fishing to see if I could unlock some of these new fishing milestone rewards…
First problem, absolutely zero way to track or understand what these milestones are.
Second problem, I started fishing in a water world to gather some of the new fish and it was only 30 or so fish in I realised I should’ve checked appearance modifier first, to see if any were unlocked already, in case my active fishing progress already unlocked all the “milestones”.
So I have no idea how, or when, and if there was an indication of it unlocking, I didn’t notice it, but I have one of the new fishing helmets unlocked.
I got the Shrimp one.
There are also some lures that are locked, which I assume will be from fishing milestone rewards…
So… How the hell do we figure out what the milestones are?
Are they all just catch X number of fish? Or could some be for releasing X amount of fish in water? Or catching x amount of fish during storms?
Dear Seanta Claus, please add a fishing tab to the milestones page and make it official 
Edit:
Had a glance at the patch notes again and it mentions there are also new titles related to fishing milestones, so those will most definitely have our answers.
Will check those when back in the sim 07

Added some more catches to the records sheet as well as options for the new fishing biomes in the drop down selections.
I was curious what my heaviest catch across all biomes and rarity would be so far and decided to check.
I probably should’ve guessed it would be a fish from the all biomes category since they’re the most commonly caught.
The closest weight I had to this was 28kg, nothing else came any closer to 30kg
I might just have to switch back to a lure that increases size of catch and see if I can’t break a few more over the 30 mark, have been chasing those legendary with bionic lure lately.
