If you are trolling over the resource grid (or however it is organized now) at a rate where you (or all 3) are constantly fishing and never casting into an empty resource pool, then you should pull 1 (or 3) mibs per hour on average. If you fish up the area, and keep tossing out failed casts, it probably will decrease your average.

Very interesting. I will explain my method. It's simple, really. My macro looks like this:

select fishing rod
wait for target (1 s. delay)
target reloc (x,y)
If sysmessage "the fish don't seem"
say: forward one
end if

I fished for ~4.5 hours last night, and pulled 1 mib. I'm intrigued as to what I am doing wrong?

You need to toss the line in, wait a bit, and then fish again.

You are doing the same thing Darkwing was. Read up a few posts and look at the delay information. You have to cast and wait like 8s or so.

Thanks, I will try this and report back on the method.
