Notes

Some experiences (from Detour):

I went out fishing with 2 Red cricket (Fresh) lures. Hopped to about 6 different locations and cast about 10 times before losing both lures with no fish caught. I was getting the messages, "No fish bit. Try different lures and locations," or, "No fish bit. You also lost your lure. Try different lures and locations."

Next I used a Woodmoth (Fresh) lure. I caught 3 fish before losing it. They were 7, 6, and 6 deben Malapterurus. I was standing at 777, -1428 at around 6:26 AM game time. I lost the lure on the same cast as catching a fish and didn't get a notice about it. It just disappeared from my inventory.

Finally, I used a Wooly aphid (Fresh) lure. I got to cast it about 3 times from different locations before I lost it with no fish caught.

Amora: I caught a 1db Pancake Loach with a pickel slug lure at 8:08 a.m. and next cast with the same lure told me to try different lures or locations. This tells me when we get the message "try a different lure/location" that might not mean a fail. I will need to keep trying 5-10 times? Khatz Fishing notes
