Mate I am level 62 almost 63 haha, it's not the Catfish you target at St. And the money you put in your pocket is as real as it gets when it comes down to affording the rods, reels, boat and equipment you want. I'm well past level 30 and still fish Emerald (occasionally at least) due to the money factor. And if you need money Emerald is the place to find it (that doesn't cost an arm and leg). Sure make trips to all the lakes available, but grind out Emerald if you need money.
I've done this several times with different nets and I'm here to tell the newer members.ĭon't rush yourself to the higher level lakes until you have a decent sized net (551 or 660). You can't put enough of the larger fish in a moderate size keepnet to make those lakes pay off like Emerald does. That's $31791 - $3900 = $27,891 in the pocket dollars.ĭon't forget you started out $17800 plus any bait in the red. Per fish it looks great, but you were in the red when you started between travel, license and bait. Here's how I did with a premium account and a 485lb keepnet.
You've paid $17800 for one day fishing at St. Travel to St Croix is $9800 plus the license. Emerald is a grind, but St Croix is a losing endeavor unless you fish it daily or quite often. It just takes more time.Įmerald is good when lower level but not a patch on St Croix, you will make far more money for the real time spent there, which is more important especially the higher you get, the grind would be too much at Emerald past level 30 Attempted Emerald had $39865 but extending the stay emptied the net.Įither way, Emerald puts more money in your pocket. I did White Moose and St Croix with a 485 lb net as well. Sure you make more money per fish and get more experience per fish, but in the long run, you end up with less total money in your pocket. Would you rather make $41095 - $3000+license or $22665 -7800 plus license?Īt St Croix (9800 TVL) you would average 13 fish for a total of $150 experience.
(average experience per fish 88)Īt White Moose you pay $7800 plus license.ġ rod with lures, same net.330.009lbs of 330 It took 24 game time hours to get 329.258 lbs of 330.7 Now, I took a 330 lb keepnet and decided to fill it up using 1 ultralight rod and spoons, spinners, and jigs. You pay $3000 for travel plus whatever the license is. You're all missing something if you think Emerald Lake is bad.
