Please consider adding Guru fishing gear such as guru rods, lures, clothes, chairs, spears etc with high durability!!!

It was nice to have the crio's fishing rod but it would be even better for it to be brought back as a permanent repairable item!!!!

It makes no sense for them to waste time adding new items to dead content. Let them thoroughly rework all the fishing first.

Correct.

First of all, harpoon fishing from any vessel and afk harpoon fishing because manual fishing is completely unprofitable and boring.

All they have to do is add manos fishing rod with triple float function 

Triple float it's a scam. You only get a chance to catch 3 fish, on average it's about 15-20%. 

Also (and this is much more important) fishing mastery do not increase the chance of catching a better quality fish, so the whole fishing mastery make no sense because the chances of catching rare fish are so minimal that they are close to zero. This also makes obtaining titles for catching x number of yellow fish extremely difficult because all these titles are copy-paste: catch 50 / 150 / 450 fish. Green - no problem, blue requires a lot of time, yellow - it makes no sense. And there are also titles for catching rare fish (fortunately only 10 pieces).

Additionally, we have huge disproportions between fish. Some can be caught quite easily, e.g. mandarin or purcupine, while catching others is much more difficult, e.g. golden siniperca or charr. Charr fishing in particular is pointless. Currently I have about 150 of them, and the dark chub (green) ones over 2200. Another problem is that the fish spots are not the same. They have different chances of catching keys, relics and broken bottle fragments.

And one more thing at the end. Fishing rods and floats with a bonus for blue/yellow fish are also a scam. According to my tests, using these rods and floats I caught fewer blue/yellow fish than using the balenos rod, which reduces fishing time.
There is nothing strange about it, because a fishing rod + a float gives 10% to yellow fish. But what is 10%? It's nothing. The base chance of getting a yellow fish is about 10%. 10% + 10% = 11%. 1% more, but we lose 25% reduction in fishing time.

No.

Fishing mastery gives almost nothing.

Fish prices in trade manager are a joke.

Imperial fishing delivery is a joke - daily limit for whole server? Really? They couldn't invent more stupid thing.

So:

- highly (very, very. very highly) increase base prices for fish. To prevent abusing afk fishing make bigger distinguish between active and afk fishing

- remove completely imperial fishing delivery or at least remove those stupid server limits

- create good, ingame map that shows where to catch specific fishes so people won't need to study google in order to find where to catch what they need

- add better fishing boat - something with good turn and speed, like carrack that is smaller and cannot barter/sea monster hunt etc

- rework that useless harpooning - minigame, interface, price of fishes

- rework mastery - they should give real benefits instead of 5% chance of catch rare fish at 2000 mastery (seriously?)

Then, after all those things completed they can add new items like manos rod, manos float, new item like manos riding crop etc. In current state of fishing those items would be totally useless.

If you want currently afk fishing just get balenos rod and brand it. It will be enough for +/- whole night.
