    Been After The Admiral For 30 Minuntes (PC)

    Is fishing just borked on PC? Been after the Admiral for 30+ minutes now and I have to constantly swipe the mouse in a near spastic motion to go the opposite directions of the fish and the pole just starts to auto center. I have attempted the following "fixes"

    - Turn mouse acceleration on and set to 100 (max) in game and in windows.

    - Cranked up the DPI on my mouse to maximum. 5700 dpi.

    I watched a PS4 video just for ****s and giggles and the pole for them doesn't auto center.

    P.S. Using the upgraded (1-star) pole.

    Edit: Lets make it an hour now.

    same issue with the second shop bought rod and the perk, every video I see its been caught while in coop on pc with guest driving the boat to make it easier. As it i I run into the hidden timer when it gets off the hook, while constantly reeling in opposite direction when the line isn't red

    I tried to so it from the shore a million times and never got anywhere. Did it once from the boat in the middle of the river and caught it. This game is stupid.

    so ubisoft every play through I try for a while and each attempt on pc fails, beginning to wonder if its down to graphic settings or as OP thought mouse settings, so 1366x768 on low graphic settings and tried with vsync on and off, mouse Logitech G403

    I had the Admiral on the hook for a good 10-15 minutes. Kept reeling in, relaxing the line, doing opposite pulls and so on. Eventually I screwed up and the line snapped. Cast the line again, hooked him right away and I reeled him in real quick.

    After the line snapped on first try I heard Skylar tell me "He's starting to look tired" or some such... so I guess when I caught him 2nd time he was worn out and I just reeled him in with no more effort than when fishing for Rainbow Trouts.

    I was using the 2nd fishing pole from the Store and I was fishing from land

    Yeah I couldnt catch it on first try either(PS4). 2nd try it was much easier so maybe the first try is supposed to be hard or even fail?

    Is this the fish near Adelaide's base on the island out on the lake?

    You don't need to swipe your mouse at all.

    Once you hook the fish, then start reeling it in.

    If the fish starts to pull away from you then move your mouse in the opposite direction whilst still reeling.

    If the line changes colour from green, then stop reeling until it goes green again.

    Then start reeling again.

    It's easy when you know how...
