    I like it. It took me some time to realize, that fishing isn't only well scripted, but also the least stressful way to earn money.

    Can you not turn those things off in the "interface" section in the settings menu?

    I don’t mind the fishing. Seems like it was the only time I wasn’t getting attacked. It’s generally an easy way to collect several hundred dollars.

    'Fraid not. Not sure if it's something the programmers forgot to include, but I have my Interface set to 'All off' and the controls remain there.

    The only shred of hope is the fact that I had to do the fishing as a side mission. Not tried it in free roam yet, but I fully expect the controls to pop up as soon as I equip my rod.

    I sometimes stop to catch a fish or two. But then get bored very fast and leave. I prefer much more watching vistas, sunsets and being under rain like in FC2.

    Can your fishing line even break?
    Yeap, mine broke yesterday for the first time, better leaving line when it´s getting orange.

    Don't know about the poster you quoted, but yes I'm on console (ps4) and the button controls remain. At least they did during the side mission which required me to fish. Not tried fishing in free-roam but I don't expect it to be any different.

    It's a real shame they neglected this in the HUD options, because as one of the more peaceful-seeking gamers it was one of the pastimes I was looking for to after liberation. Yes I can still do it, but the button controls kill the immersion for me.

    As for the fishing itself, I'd have liked it to reflect real life a little more. Fish are far FAR too easy to catch in this game, and this fact kills the sense of a peaceful hour's fishing on the lake. That said, I think the catch can be forcibly prolonged by not reeling in, as I don't think the fish bite until you do.

    After trying to complete acquire all 4 fishing rods trophy, it got boring and very annoying other than that it's great. I wish it was even harder because with 3rd rod, it's waaay too easy. 4 fish in a minute...
