Regrettably, I had made a competitions thread once before, but due to lack of posts, I deleted it completely. I apologize to all those who were using the thread, but not posting on it. I now realize that even though there aren't current posts, doesn't mean people don't view them often and use the info that was there.
Having given my sincerest apologies, I would love to be able to start over. I am very new to competitions, but have had a decent amount of success. There are several things that should always be considered when joining a competition and wanting to do well:
1) Know what bait is going to best attract the fish you are searching for
2) Know the perfect attack number of the fish you are searching for
3) Know the start times of each competition you want to compete in
4) Start on time.
5) Break the line if it is not the target fish
6) Make sure you have plenty of energy for the comp
Start times are key. You need to start your login as soon as your device reaches the correct comp start time. When you see what fish is the comp fish, the first bait listed is usually the best, but not always. Land every fish every time as fast as possible in order to not diminish you bite rate. FTF is best in sites above Emerald Fjord, but i;l advised for sites under this.
Comp Times and Types: Times listed are PST (GMT-8)
2300 - 0000 -> quantity
0100 - 0200 -> points or quantity
0300 - 0400 -> size
0500 - 0600 -> quantity
0700 - 0800 -> size
0900 -1100 -> points
1200 -1300 -> quantity
1400 - 1500 -> size
1600 - 1800 -> points
1900 - 2000 -> size
2100 - 2200 ->size
For Size comps, Log in early and cast 3XA chum. Catch some fish, log out, change rods, fish at premium or other sites, then go back in and cast a few more. Repeat. In the last 15 minutes, use MB, EB, or RB to maximize you chances. The best rods include STB, SSF, OT, DL.
Point Comps are always at premium sites. Starting an hour b4 and logging out will enable high points early on, but beware, your second round will have very few comp fish. Higher ranked fish give more points, but catching 2 smaller ones will earn you more. Qty and size are important for point comps.
Good Luck as always, and HAPPY FISHING!!

Great new thread Dink. I'll make some notes as I go along and pass the info over to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. I appreciate it
ReplyDeletedinkdink
how recognize time of start next competition?
ReplyDeleteI'll post a list later today after work.
DeleteAnother comp - stats:
ReplyDelete10 min late
~120 casts (with cutting line)
46 fishes
finshed on 25 place
1. place 144 fishes
2-10 place up 115
this is sick !!!
2 hour comp. 444 casts. 237 fish for me yesterday. 2nd place 8). It is possible.
Deleteno, no, no!!!
Deletethis was 1 hour comp and max casts for me was 200 - immpossinle to catch 144 fishes
but ok - iff i'l gain 10-50 place will bee fair enough
I know you were in a 1 hour comp, but cut my numbers in half and I would be in top 10 in that comp you did.
Delete144 fish that 1 is hacker
Deleteme catch half hour 44fish no20++also my game name jowens
DeleteI can do 240-260 cast per hours and I use 3-7 seconds to reel normal fish (PA <1500 and non berserk). Normal fish bite rate is around 1:2-2:5. I usually get 100-120 fish in 1 hours on normal fish. (I'm not good at rare fish). Sometimes bite rate is better than 1:2 I can get more than 120 fish.
DeleteLilalulu
some additional notes that you might find useful:
ReplyDeleteS rank = PA + 2%
SS rank = PA + 5%
SSS rank = PA + 10%
so if the fish has normal PA for A rank = 1000, the S rank will have 1020, SS = 1050, SSS = 1100..
Nice one AMD
Deletei cant do any comp yet, need a good equips badly, ive been trying for a week, placed 15-25 each time, im done for comps in the meantime until ive got dual gladiator sets and a good rod (i hate repair). too much investment (gold) just to do comps for now.
ReplyDeleteim gonna saving up to buy aqua emperor for farmimg GB eggs, star rod still a long way to go.
with my daybreak, i can just catch 3-4 out of 10 try.
it is just too hard. always snapped by red hook.
bye comps.
till we meet again next 2 months. :p

wei lynee cakap ,melayu la woiiiiiiii...aku faham tpi aku saja nak buat2 xfaham..hahahahahah....xpayah beli la aqua emperor..mengaarut ja....aku rasa bek pakai shooting star dari ae...ss +14 lf sng ftf dari ae +15..cam haram...aku dok kumpul * ja la ni nk beli ot jgk..sehari dpt la 50-60 * by farming and competition..jdi la..pelan2 kayuh

Aku semua breeder aku bela ja mna dpt..3*/6*/9* semua ada....
DeleteDeded11
ohh...
Deleteanyway, lynee jangan beli AE la. tu gold rod. skali cast dah kena repair 500 lebih kot. nyesal beli. skarang kumpul nak beli OT je...huhu
SEERUB
Dear lyneee
DeleteGood day
My advise to you is not to buy any gold rod ... they are useless .... even the high ranked ones (aqua emperor, shooting star or day break) believe me, I've used the star seeker sonic for over 6 month ... coz it can ftf while most gold rod cant do ftf ... my advise to you is to participate in events as much as you can ... it will earn you stars ... then you save your stars for sale time and at least you can go for mid range star rod like shark the blood ( I think it will cost you around 900 stars in sale time) then when you have a star rod you can add friends with 3* tank (friends who have Alligator Gar, Nile Perch, Goliath Tiger, Isurus, etc,.. in their aquarium) then you will be 3* breeder, then you can move to 6* friends (Atlantic Wolffish, Killer Whale) .. and so on ... I've became a 9* breeder in less than 20 days ... just wait for sale time to buy star equipment or star rod...
should you need further assistance PLZ feel free to post your question here ...

ReplyDeleteDeded11
Dink have you noticed cheaters in the comps again? I rarely enter them intentionally but have seen unrealistic numbers in the few I've been in. A recent one 1st place had almost 100 more fish than 2nd. To me that sounds fishy (no pun intended)
ReplyDeleteBTW Dink, I've said it before, your work on this blog has kept me playing.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate it. There are going to be cheaters until gamEVIL develops some sort of detection system. I'm not a computer whiz, but I refuse to believe that nothing can be done. They are not in every comp, but in many. Even if a cheater takes the first or even first few spots, there are still some nice rewards available.
Deletedinkdink
I quit participating in comps ... there are many cheaters out there ... and they got everything... I do remember once that my rank was like 4 or 5 then all of sudden I've became like 50 or something... and they catch like 150 fish while my catch was almost 30 ... it is true that I've been rewarded but those people make me sick...
DeleteThanks dinkdink ... your effort is pricelss bro...
aboudeh
when do GV usually give comp rewards? after comp or the next day?
ReplyDeleteRewards are sent after the first comp after refresh.
DeleteDinkdink
Pxcr hows he or she winning all the size comps by miles
ReplyDeletepxcr is a known hacker. Hopefully FS 2.0 will get rid of them, but knowing gamEVIL, I think it's a lost cause.
DeleteFor what I know, he have 136 luck by equipment + xx luck of the bait.
DeleteCan't know if he cheats or not.
Paja
I've got 144 luck without bait. He's a cheat.
DeleteHe's a cheat, I was friends with him until all of his equipment went from +12 to +18 overnight.

Buzzzer
Hi buzzzer,
DeleteThere are few occasions that the comp for GMT 0900-1000hrs is size instead of qty/pts.
I think the CMT 0900-1000 comp at premium site is random.. I've seen a size comp (sunfish), pts comp (saury), qty comp (bigeye tuna) all at that time.
DeleteI noticed it because this is my first available comp at home after finish work.
Wil
Yeah there seems to be a few variations, but start times should be right. I think the 1700 GMT Comp is a two hour comp also.
DeleteBuzzz

ReplyDeleteIf u think u are not fast enough in quantity or points comps. Just keep doing size comps. U might just get lucky one day to hook that winning fish. Most of my pals in the game has gotten at least a size champ before cos they never give up and kept trying. One of them even got that winner with just 2 casts. So don't ever give up mate.

DeleteCongrats cellii. I don't do points frequently. I'm more interested in qty. btw impressed with your bat ray comp.
Deletekelish
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI think in moment we have other problems in competition. did anybody register the competition results top 10 from 3060. Catch a Bonito? anybody knows he's on windy area; competition was running for 2 hours, for me it means 10 Rods maximum use at same time and fastest bite needs 10 minutes waiting time then for me the maximum you can cast out is 12 times for one rod. someone say 13 when starting to cast out before competition starts - will be as it be but fact for me is that Bonito gives 204 Points in A; 214 in S; 224 in SS and 234 in SSS! No comes the big result from this Competition: 1. fiseater - 28 544 points! 2. Nongnaem 28299 points!? 3. draziw 27117 points!? 4. Powwieee 26847 points!? 5. ka34567 with 23494 points! 6. toms112 with 22465 points!? 7. Wtf80 with 21283 points!? 8. jaidmarc 18726 points! 9. Mariusz 17725 points!? 10. b2n with 16886 points! therefore the maximum makeable casts are 130 (im LV 93 PLAYER but i don't make these 130 casts!) maximum reachable points for SSS Bonito is 234 points =30,420 points when anyone can reach these 130 casts but who can catch only this one needed fish 2 hours and getting no other one, I want to see him Live! but the other fact is how can anybody have at least or also between a point result like 28299 or 27117 or 26847 or 22465 or 21283 or 17725 when the catched fish only give even points and no odd points, are the error by gamevil or did they all cheat - but bad!?
ReplyDelete1speedy
Definitely cheat...
DeleteWhatever sweet spot or chum using
Average catch comp even fish in 10 cast about 4 to 5
Sometimes the fish for those premium competitions are avialable at midnight port too, therefore the numbers are so high sometimes
Deletesorry for last comment, but I forgot Bonito at same time also in Midnight Port; we know there they give more points but for me it's the same utopic result
ReplyDelete1speedy
Mate it's totally possible for the scores if u are willing to spend tickets. The champ n some of the top10 players are my pals.
DeleteKelish
so if use chum will get better sss in point com?so what is the theory to use chum.some small fish easy get sss on 3 x a chum .some big fish need use sss chum. some mid fish 3 x s chum.
ReplyDeleteI think some of the best in the comps know what chum to use with which type of fish for the size comps as they are miles ahead of the rest of us, is there any advice on what chums work best for the different types of fish ???
ReplyDelete"Sweet spots and baits" thread contains some good infos about this.
DeleteTroupi
Rather than complaining about cheaters, why not sharing some good tips.
ReplyDeleteI tried a comp for bluefin motho yesterday and finished 18 with mid luck equipment and OT, a-shrimp. Not a great rank, so i wonder how i could improve my score.
I noticed that after having caught 2 consecutively, the next fish wasnt a bluefin. If i broke the line, most of the time, the next one wasnt either, and so on. But if i caught it, then the following 2 were often comp fishes.
I caught about 40 with this method, when the 10th caught twice. I must have missed something, but what ?
What is the key for those "basic fishes" number competitions?
Troupi
Correction : finished 19th place witk 46 fishes and the 10th caught 67.
ReplyDeleteTroupi
For size comps, STB or SSF can give better result than OT or higher (thx demuthen for this info).
ReplyDeleteTroupi
Troupi,
ReplyDeleteUr right, yes there are cheaters out there but a lot of the best in comps are just really good at the game, the likes of Demuthen, Dinkdink, Jones13 and Juupajok, Harry173 to name a few. I've been lucky in getting some info from Demuthen on the size comps. before any advice I was struggling to get into the top 100 but recently have got a 3rd and 4th place. and now regularly getting into the top 50
With the size comps it is about luck, the higher your luck and better your cast the bigger the fish you will get, some of the star players have as much as 217 luck (unfortunately my highest luck with Mater Bait is 155), as they have epic fish in their aquariums that add to the luck value, in some cases they use chum but not all and you need to swap rods and baits during the comp. As an example I used an expert bait instead of the normal version, giving an extra 30 luck and wow within 10 casts I got a top ten finish
I'm sure there are other things that work it is just a matter of trying them out and as you say putting on this site what works. Thanks for you help on the sweet spots as well I will try them out too
Happy Fishing
Beario
Thx for the swap technic.
DeleteLike you, I check the chat regulary to "fish" good tips. You re right : luck stat is very important. I noticed that Napoleon fish give luck bonus. Put one epic in my aquarium to see how many bonus it will give to me with max size
Troupi
Best of luck Troupi plz let us know if it works
DeleteBeario
Current Happy Family Fish Event give only 1 luck bonus point at epic grade. Not interesting. So I sold my Napoleon fish quickly :-)
ReplyDeleteI am compiling a list of "luck bonus" fishes. I will post it asap.
Troupi
We are agree to say that the higher your luck level is, the best are your chances to catch a big size fish in comp.
ReplyDeleteSo, as promised, here is a list of fishes that give luck bonus at epic level after being placed in your aquarium (between parenthesis the max bonus possible).
Following can be hooked at Midnight Port ... sometimes.
NORMAL FISHES :
Bass (+4)
Dolly Varden Trout (+4)
Flowerhorn (+5)
Walleye (+5)
White Salmon (+5)
Butterflyfish (+4)
Napoleon Fish (+6)
Hong Kong Grouper (+7)
Albacore (+6)
Thai Masha (+6)
Sky Emperor (+6)
Grouper (+6)
Bigeye Tuna (+6)
Redtail Catfish (+7)
Roughscale Sole (+7)
Sockeye Salmon (+8)
Chilean Sea Bass (+8)
Coral Sea Bass (+7)
Rainbow Runner (+8)
Green Humphead Parrotfish (+8)
California Sheepshead (+9)
Spoted eagle ray (+10)
Chinese sucker (+9)
African Snakehead (+7)
NAMED FISHES :
Emerald Carp (+12)
The chance to see (and to catch) one of those normal or named fishes at Midnight Port is hazardous.
Remember that epic specimens are stronger than normal ones (for me, ftf technic breaks the line with great ones, whereas my attack stat is more than 4k)
And possessing an epic in his aquarium is not welcome for egg farming.
So if you are strong enough, you can try to battle ...
BOSS FISHES :
Ichthyosaurus (+12)
Dunkleosteus (+13)
Boss fishes are not so hard to catch at it seems (report to the corresponding thread for more infos).
Hope this helps.
Good luck ;-)
Troupi
Size comp.... u think u have a good size fish then joker992 just blows everyone out of the water with a monster... it happens nearly everytime ...is it a joke or what :-(
ReplyDeleteNeillydc
Neilly
Nope he is a suspected cheater, there is another one too (Mr Tom) who is offering people the hack tool for $100, he was told to get lost the other night on the live chat. It is a real shame as most of us doing the comps are genuine. Lets hope GV does something about the hackers so they don't keep spoiling the comps
ReplyDeleteBeario
Hi Beario,,, gotta be n i seen mr tom's comment on here ,,,, even though i aint much chance of winning the comps its starting to put me off even trying for them... hope they sort it out
ReplyDeletePs thanks for feeding my fish :-D
Neillydc
Hi Neillydc ... It is frustrating but you can still get a top 10 sometimes, which is really good. I managed 6th place on the size comp the other night and was really happy. It really is about luck, mind you the cheaters don't seem to be there as much on the quantity comps and that's what I'm going to try next. There are some really good tips above from the best of the fishers and also on the live chat. It has really helped me and others
ReplyDeletePS Thanks for feeding my fish too :-D
Beario
Hey beario.... sorry for late late reply , not looked in this thread till now... seems to have gotten a little better since i posted, few of players i noticed at top all the time are no longer there... had a couple of top 10s since so things looking up,,, except when u n likes of pack come n take my place { hehe}...
DeleteHappy fishing as always
Neilly
Nice to see the prizes have changed on the comps, not just spinner bait now but also cranks !!!
ReplyDeleteBeario
But still you have to finish in the 10 first places to win them. Unfortunatly, this has not changed. ;-)
DeleteThat's true and it is a shame the prizes can't be changed lower down by adding in say some other s baits, or useful items upgrade / destiny potions???
ReplyDeleteBeario
Comps not working for me at the moment. Whenever the time rolls over instead of starting it just goes to the countdown for the next comp. I can catch the fish but no recognition. I can go to the results tab and see people scoring but it acts like the competition is over, even only a few minutes in. This is really strange.
ReplyDeleteYou need to log out then back in after the comp start time
DeleteCould someone clarify these two bits of advice?
ReplyDeletePerhaps I'm just not getting it...
5) Break the line if it is not the target fish.
AND
Land every fish every time as fast as possible in order to not diminish you bite rate.
A couple after thoughts:
Competitions - I'm not as concerned attempting to place in the Top Ten any longer. While it'd be nice to finish in the Top Ten, I like to use Competitions to win Gold Keys/Upgrade Scrolls/etc.
And thanks dinkdink for all the work on the blog.
Keegan55
Sorry for the late reply, do not snap lines in qty comp. I'll write a new comp thread shortly.
DeleteDid anybody knows more about new Global - Competition? I mean spezialy price for the Ranking, becoue there are two rankings in the List, one for the Nation you registered and one called Total Ranking for each players different points. Did we get for both rankings different price or if not, wich one of those two ranking is relevant for rewards? Fact is points are based on exp for every fish you catch on the competition location, no spezial fish is needed; try to get fishes with higher exp with higher bite to get more exp points.
ReplyDeleteFishermans Luck
1speedy
I don't remember any rewards for the nation rankings. It's probably just to show u how many participants n the scores from the nations. Rewards r only for individual participant, based on your won catches.
ReplyDeleteI WON A COMPETITION!! I saved tons of batteries and am at level 39. It was a Freshwater Ray competition and I used A-Earthworm bait. I reeled in everything even if I knew it wasn't a ray (usually dives +8). It was neck and neck for an hour and half but I pulled away with my cache of batteries. :) so yeah you don't need to cheat to win these competitions....
ReplyDeleteAlso I had enough batteries I didn't need to buy any with stars and it was a points accumulation competition. Add me as your friend angie3z
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dink. Your advice was great as usual, I followed it (using a VB in a size comp at Golden Viewing Platform) and hooked a daily high on the second cast -- it held up to the end. Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGamevil attention.....there are a player WHO there are no correct....possibile che in un ora al gioco competition global pescando moltissimi pesci sono arrivato 450 con una media di 1 pesce ogni 10 secondi i primi 10 della competizione o giovani sporco o prendono 10 pesci per volta il che รจ impossibile.....fuori dai coglioni chi nn gioca correttamente
