ESO: Fishing For Beginners Guide!

Hello All!
After gaining master fisher, I get asked a lot of questions. I put together a fishing tutorial that covers addons, bait grind locations, how to fish, and maps with fishing hole types with achievement info on each zone. Enjoy! To access the time click buttons you will have to view it on youtube to see the about section :smile:

Accidentally put this in the community creations before I realized there was a Guide forum :( my bad.

    I've always wondered what the point of fishing was - so thanks for clearing that up for me. Very detailed guide! I spat my coffee out in laughter during one part, though. The sky grows dark, cult members being sucked up into the sky as sacrifices, the dramatic music playing in the background, and you, happily fishing while this is going on right beside you.

    I do it for the roe....I don't think consoles have a fishing achievement let alone the dozens you mentioned....unless they are part of the half that are secret achievements :/
    What's the matter? Did somebody steal your sweet roll?

    Brilliant guide. Thanks.

    I am still yet to:
    A: manually pick a lock
    or
    B: catch a bloody fish.

    And it's not for lack of trying either.
    Daedric Lord Slayer took me 159 dolmens to achieve so I have plenty of patience lol.

    Yea my husband made me do the dolmens. I cant stand it when he has a achievement I don't have, so I had to tag along. Daedric Lord Slayer was brutal!

    I didn't see the appeal for fishing (as I tend to just get used bait) but now I will be fishing more. Thanks this guide has heaps of info and will be posting to my guild mates!
    FYI with gaming you meet a lot of different people

    You get used bait because you are using the wrong bait in that type hole. You will get the normal fish to filet, or wet gunny sacks, or the green and blue fish from using the correct bait for that type of hole.

    Trophy fish were changed to collectibles, so they're no longer consumables and you can't bank them.
    Any you already have are in your miscellaneous tab.

    Kind of lame you can't keep them, but that's how they do.

    @Sylance9 Wow I'm loving your video tutorial.

    It's everything I always wanted to do with a video guide, but never had the time. And it's much better than mine would have been. Great work!
