Hi, I am trying to get into the game, it seems very interesting to me, but I can't seem to figure out where to go. I have been fishing for the last few days, but there's a limit to how much I can fish (24 hour limits on spots), and I've only made around $30 in fish after around 10 hours or so. I read that people used to be able to camp for money, but that was removed, I tried the gold hunt game but I didn't have a whole lot of success (areas were very crowded). Am I missing something on how to start out?
