Fisherman
Fisherman Job
The Fisherman job allows you to fish either from land or from a boat (Reefer). You can fish at various locations in San Andreas, with fish availability depending on the area’s fish population.
How to Get Started
Job Location: Any location with water around San Andreas.
Fishing Method: You can fish from land or use the Reefer boat. When using a boat, you must remain near it to fish successfully.
Fishing Process
Fishing Setup: Once you've taken the job, find a location with water. You can use land or a boat to fish.
Fishing Mechanism: Hold the Right Mouse Button (RMB) and aim at the desired fishing spot, then press Left Mouse Button (LMB). After a few seconds, a mini-game will appear. Keep the green bar aligned with the fish while it rises. If the bar turns red, your meter decreases, and you could lose the fish.
Fishing with the Reefer: Drive the Reefer into the water and either a fish or garbage will appear at the bottom of your screen. Press the left button if you have a fish and the right button for garbage. Continue until your Net Capacity reaches 100%, then head to the unloading point marked by a red 'S' on your radar.
Fish Population and Types
Fish Population: Determines which fish you will catch. If the area’s fish population hits 25%, you can no longer fish there.
