After seeing Meara with her super-cute fishing pole at the Hump Day Party, I decided to try out the fishing thing. I read the tips in my last post, bought myself a pro pole, some bait, and parked my bum to fish. It was surprisingly amusing! It appears to be something to do in between IMs, kind of like Tiny Empires. Which is great, because I can play Tiny Empires and fish while sorting inventory.
Seriously, I liked it so much, I even splurged and got myself one of those fishing kits, so I can use it on my own land! XD Its a fun little thing to do - as soon as I can think of a reasonably interesting name for my land, I might request to put it on the fishing area page of the official website.
What I love most about this - the things you catch are so cute! Like, I expected the fish to be little craptastic 1 prim photos that I see so often. But no, these are cute, full prim ones. Someone definitely spends a lot of time making these, which makes me keep coming back to fish. I always can't wait to see what I am going to get next.
I liked fishing so much, I even made myself a pose to put at the end of my dock! XD The head moves, as well as the right arm, so you can cast freely :D (BTW, If you want this pose for your fishing needs, feel free to IM me in-world, and I'll drop it on you :D)

That is so great! You look totally cute sitting there on your dock! And aren't those fish the neatest? Every time I play I keep thinking "just one more cast" to see what I get, and then one turns into two, two into three, etc. I think my favorite fish so far has to be the flying tuna sushi - seriously it's like a little tuna roll with a halo and wings. And since we can name our fishies I named it Wasabi. XD
And I would love that pose if you would not mind dropping one on me. I've been using a Pillow Talk pillow for myself for now, but what you came up with would be perfect! :)

Sent the pose - I hope it works for you! :D
OMG, the flying tuna sushi! I got that last night while I stayed up until 3am fishing (XD) and it is adorable! I think my favorite would have to be the White Ragged Fish ~ its so elegance looking, I did a O.O face IRL when I seen it at first XD
I am so obsessed with fishing now O.o;;

oh, excellent. Glad you're enjoying. the last time I fished I got a couple of jellyfish that were really cute. and a psychedelic mutant fish LOL. DBF got a minature merman!
mind you, I have a bunch of different colors of the ragged fish.. but not white! very nice.
i'd love the pose too if you don't mind.. i'll send you an IM though - my full first name is Nikkidancer, not just Nikki.

Awww, how cute!
Makes me want to take up fishing! Ponders going out and picking up a rod and such...

waht would I do to just sit and fish and make myself poses to match at the same time! LOL
Looking mighty fine, Sai!

Cute pose!! I need to remind myself to IM you when I get back in world, because usually when I fish, I just end up wearing a lawn chair since a lot of places don't have seats.

Your fishing pose is going to be a HUGE hit!
From what I can tell that's one limitation of the fishing craze, you either need to bring a chair or sit in some fashion that doesn't quite suit fishing.

omg if you make fishing poses I may have to finally get in on the craze! That is too adorable!

Hehehe yeah fishing is just too cool! It makes our open water sims so much more fun :) Lucifer and I even started to keep a list of all the fishes and stuff we caught!
We're also throwing a fish contest on Sunday at our .Indulge location ~
Goodluck with catching all those cool fishes and more ~
