RedM Fishing Script Poggy Fishing

A skill-based RedM fishing script with 28 fish across 34 waters: players cast, tug the line to hook a fish, then win a skillcheck fight to land it. It runs on VORP Core, RSG Core and QBCore RedM, and ships with the Poggy Fishing Journal, an illustrated book of every water and each player's records.

What players can do

• Fish 28 fish (sizes of 16 species) in 34 waters: lakes, rivers, the bayou, creeks, ponds and the sea, each with its own fish list.
• Hunt four legendary fish, each in one water: lake sturgeon in Flat Iron Lake, rainbow trout in O'Creagh's Run, muskellunge in Owanjila and channel catfish in Bayou Nwa.
• Pick from six baits and lures with G. A bait makes its target fish three times as likely to bite.
• Fish at the right hour: 21 of the 28 fish only bite at set times, such as bullhead at night.
• Keep a fish or throw it back. A kept fish has a random weight and gives a bonus item, such as a pearl or an uncut diamond.
• Press D to cycle four music tracks while fishing.

How a catch works

1. Cast with the left mouse button. Nearby players see the splash.
2. Hook the fish. With the normal rod, tap E to raise interest without letting line tension reach 100.
3. Fight it. Skillchecks fill the progress bar. Misses take progress away and speed the needle up.

A fish's price sets its tier: Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert or Legendary. With no bait, legendary fish never bite.

The fishing journal

• The journal item opens a map of every water, which fish live there, which are in season and when each bites.
• It keeps each character's discoveries, catch counts and best weights, with a gold message on a personal record.
• Catches are recorded only while the player carries it. You decide how players get it.

What owners get

• Seasons: at every start a random 80% of the fish are in season.
• Every setting in game under /poggy, with guides for tuning baits and difficulty.
• Two HUD looks, brass or default, and room for your own skin.

Commands

Settings you will change first

• Config.Fish: price, size, weight range and hours of each fish.
• Config.Baits: bonus, target fish and lose chance of each bait.
• Config.LootDrops: the bonus loot table.
• Config.Season.ActivePercent: share of fish in season (80).

Which fish live in which water is built in and cannot be edited.

What you need to run it

• VORP Core, RSG Core or QBCore RedM, through the free poggy_core 0.27.0 or newer.
• The free Poggy Skillcheck and oxmysql.
• No SQL to import. On RSG Core and QBCore RedM, add the items to your framework's item list; the script names any that are missing.
• config.lua is open in both resources. The rest of the Lua is protected by Cfx escrow.

Tuning is covered in how to set up fishing.

Updates

poggy_core installs new versions of the script and the journal and merges your config: new settings arrive with their defaults and your values stay.
