3 updates to the reported issues megathread and still no mention of this bug! I reported the problem in a support ticket 4 days ago and never got a reply. Ubisoft this is getting beyond a joke now!!!!

@ubi-swaggins This is driving me insane! I`ve been fishing for 3 days straight now (about 30+ hours) and the coastal fish constantly vanish after 1 or 2 seconds no matter what the weather or waves are doing. I reload the game every few minutes and occasionally (maybe 1 reload out of 50) the coastal fish will stick around for 10 minutes but then they vanish again, even while I am pulling in a fish they will just vanish. The coastal fish in Norway vanish much more than England but even in England they vanish about 99% of the time. And again this is in all weathers not just bad weather. Plus I have never seen a big flat fish or regular and big mackerel in over 100 hours playing. I`m on Xbox one. I know the next update is supposed to fix the fish in Norway spawning in bad weather but there was no mention of the England coastal fish and no mention of fish vanishing after 1 second. So when will this be fixed?

@ubi-swaggins This bug is still NOT FIXED!! The coastal fish in England (kent and sussex) STILL VANISH in less than 1 second and the fish in Norway are at least spawning but STILL VANISHING after 20 seconds to 1 minute. In 2 hours of continuous fishing in Norway I have managed to catch 8 fish (3 x regular mackerel, 1 x regular hake, 3 x small mackerel 1 x big redfish) and STILL NO BIG MACKEREL!!! 90 minutes downloading an update that did almost nothing!!!

@ubiexcellent Thanks for a sort of update but tbh we already knew that this would be fixed "in a future patch". The problem is the future is a long time! After having this BROKEN game for almost 2 months what we want is a definite timeline for this fix.

I finally got a reply from support about this bug, this is some of what they said today "We've received reports of players unable to catch fish in the ocean.
The development team has been made aware of this issue and they are currently investigating it. Once additional information becomes available, it will be posted to the game's official forum" . So hopefully there will be a fix on the way soon!!!

As far as I`m concerned it is now too late for Ubisoft to fix this issue because I am now giving up on this game! I have waited almost 2 months for them to fix an issue that prevents 100% completion but it is STILL NOT FIXED. It is such a shame because this could have been one of the best AC games without all the bugs, it is a beautiful looking game with great characters and a really good story but the crazy amount of bugs has ruined the game. It could have been an 8.5 or even a 9 from me but with all the bugs I would give it a 5.5 instead

This is driving me insane! I`ve been fishing for 3 days straight now and the coastal fish constantly despawn after 1 or 2 seconds no matter what the weather or waves are doing. I reload the game every few minutes and occasionally (maybe 1 reload out of 50) the coastal fish will stick around for 10 minutes but then they vanish again, even while I am pulling in a fish they will just vanish. Plus I have never seen a big flat fish or regular and big mackerel in over 100 hours playing. I`m on Xbox one. FIX THIS MESS UBISOFT!!!!

@yuri-22 I found the small sturgeon upriver from rouecistre blockade. there is a jetty on the same side as the blockade where you can get a small boat and the small sturgeon are on the opposite side a little bit further upriver next to a small beach. and in a river at least these shouldn`t vanish! all I have to find now are big flatfish and big mackerel. good luck

5 months after launch and Ubisoft still haven`t bothered to fix this bug!!! This is a disgusting way to treat loyal customers and I think it is obvious now that they don`t intend to ever fix this as most of the devs are probably all working on the next AC bugfest!!!! Well I won`t be buying any more Ubisoft games at launch, I will wait 6 months after each launch and check the forums to see how badly broken they still are before I go near them.

so there is no point in coming back to the game then? 4 months since release and the game STILL can`t be completed!! this is beyond a joke now Ubisoft!! you have sold us a game that is impossible to complete, I want my money back

@ratchit66 have you caught Big Flatfish and Big Mackerel? if you did can you tell us exactly where please? I caught all sizes of Bream at Folkestan dock, you will have to move your longship then walk back to the dock and save the game, then reload a million times trying to get the fish to stay long enough to catch them without vanishing, but all sizes were there.

Fish still vanishing on Xbox one after todays patch Support did say that the devs are investigating the problem and a youtuber MrReign said he has had emails from Ubisoft saying that they are looking into it. so they must fix it soon!!!!
