A negative i can think off is the fact when people get too that higher level they may get targeted by people that look for people too mug as they might think they will get a fair bit off money from this

Simple solution to this, don't be oblivious and get mugged, Carry a gun or a melee weapon. If you are making more from fishing surely you'll be able to afford one.

based suggestion, fishing right now is only viable if you have 8+ rods

As I said, don't be oblivious and go afk in at both docks and kickdown you can position yourself to were you can see if someone runs up.

That's something the fisher has to deal with, they can protect themselves from a mugging, at most, they will lose 15 salmon which is only $3750. The fisher will just have to play it smart.

Tbh if anything about fishing were to be changed, I'd personally prefer a rework, where it becomes possible to equip and use a rod yourself, and catch fish through a mini-game, perhaps with an increased chance of more rare (and new????) fish. Maybe you could even have a 0.001% chance of catching the sea monster. Would definitely make it much more interactive, instead of just feeling like a semi-AFK money farm.

Not to say that I disagree with this suggestion, but I'm not sure if it'll be the "re-revival of fishing" that you expect it to be.

How it should be

I don’t see how this would affect your chances of being mugged seeing as skills aren’t public nor would it really affect the stuff you’d get from mugging one?

In my opinion, it's pretty stupid how passive-rping can result in you getting mugged because all the fishing areas are out of sight

I completely support this, although this will take a significant amount of time because other more detailed updates are in the works. Fishing was what helped me get my first decent car and a rework could actually support a fishing culture. Fishing with @SamSN when it was very profitable was truly a blast.

as a professional fisher I can safely say Ayjay ruined fishing adding random items to the drop table

 

[TkToaster]

Tbh the fishing system right now is incredibly underdone and simplistic, there are far more complex fishing systems even on the workshop that allows for different rods, different bait, more loot, levels, progression, etc...

Would be awesome to see this get reworked into something amazing as fishing in games is one of my favorite things (even in games like FarCry)
I racked up hundreds of hours on the old GMod fishing game mode that involved working your way up to better bait.

Oh nooo me making money with zero risk and getting mugged ahhhhh. The most you can lose is a phone and 4k at best and that is because of the atm right next to the place where you sell your fish.

i think it’s more the fact of how consistent it can happen and annoying to have your own thing interrupted

...Yes that's what passive RP is, Idk personally, if you go out of your way to mug fishermen then you're kinda low and I don't like you
