Player usage

There are no commands — players use a fishing rod from their inventory to cast, and talk to the shop and rental peds through your target resource.

​

Fishing

1. Buy a rod and some bait from the fisherman (SeaTrade Corporation blip on the map).
2. Stand facing open water — on the shore, a pier, or the deck of an anchored boat. You can’t cast while swimming or while seated in a vehicle.
3. Use the rod from your inventory. Your character casts and one bait is consumed.
4. Wait for a bite. The wait time comes from the zone’s waitTime (or Config.outside.waitTime in open water), divided by your bait’s waitDivisor — better bait means faster bites. Press E at any time to cancel.
5. When a fish bites you get a warning notification, and a moment later the skill check starts.
6. Pass every round and the fish lands in your inventory, along with XP and renown. Fail and the fish gets away — and your rod may break, based on its breakChance.

​

The skill check

Each fish has one or more rounds. A marker bounces across a bar — hit SPACE while the marker is inside the catch zone. Missing the zone, running out of time, or pressing ESC fails the whole check. Harder fish have smaller zones, faster markers, and more rounds.

​

Zones and levels

• Fishing anywhere with water works and yields the open-water fish (trout, anchovy, haddock, salmon by default).
• Fishing zones hold rarer fish. Zones with a blip show on the map with a colored radius circle, and entering or leaving one shows a notification.
• Zones can be level-gated — their blips and effects only appear once you reach the required level. You gain Config.progressPerCatch XP per catch (0.05 by default, so 20 catches per level), and you’re notified on every level-up.

​

Renown

Every catch also grants renown (never lost, never reset). Climbing tiers unlocks permanent perks — a fish sell bonus, a shop discount, and a boat rental discount. Your current tier, progress to the next one, and active perks show at the top of the fisherman menu.

​

The fisherman shop

Walk up to a SeaTrade Corporation ped and select Talk. The menu shows:

• Current level and renown progress
• Buy fishing rods — rods below your level are locked with a LVL badge; each rod lists its break chance
• Buy fishing baits — each bait lists its bite speed multiplier
• Sell fish — only fish you actually carry are listed, with live prices including your renown sell bonus

Buying and selling opens an amount dialog with a running total.

​

Boat rental

Walk up to the Boat Rental ped and select Rent Boats. Three boats are available by default (speeder, dinghy, tug), priced with your renown discount applied. After confirming, the boat spawns at the dock with keys and a full tank.

​

Keybinds

Both are FiveM keybinds — players can rebind them under Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM.

​

Returning a boat

Drive the rented boat back to within returnRadius (30.0 by default) of the rental spawn point. A text UI prompt appears — press the return key and confirm. You get part of the rental price back: what you paid divided by returnDivider (5 by default), and the boat despawns.
