Can’t t access “A Fisher Of Men”

[SSJahren]

Hello! 

I try to get to fishing and have done most of the story in chapter 2. I think I got the mission from Abigail already, but failed to take Jack, because I was in the middle of something when I triggered the mission. Now Abigail won’t give me the mission again, and it seems I can’t do it at all. So I stole a fishing pole from another fisher, but all the tackles and bait are locked at the shopkeeper.

Any tips about this would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I'm no help, just saying that yes, in fact, it's taking the kid fishing that unlocks it.  I'm trying to remember how exactly it played out ... have you talked to the kid ?  I think the first thing that happens after the mission starts is that you are instructed to get on your horse and then the kid comes over and is automatically lifted on the horse with you and then you go fishing.

 

Edit .. also, even once you have done it and have fishing abilities, some of the bait at the shop is still locked - crickets is locked for me (and please nobody respond telling me why circkets is locked ... I'll figure it out LOL)

Edit #2 - I also had trouble unlocking this, are you SURE she's offered you the mission ?  Reason I say that is that I had to clear every single yellow element on the map at the time, including some rescues, in order for that mission to unlock.  I thought it was broken until I did that - if you have any unresolved mission elements, finishing them may fix it.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, i talked to the kid and Abigail over and over but she only gives generic reply’s now.

The only mission I have left is the Javier escuela mission where I have to go to Blackwater and rescue Sean. Guess I’ll try that then. Thanks again!

There's your answer, that's exactly the one I had to complete to move on.  In fact, there's another post here on this board that I wrote about this VERY issue, and I even mentioned that the only thing I hadn't done was the Javier Escuela mission, .. and when I did it, that was what fixed it.  Now you know.

Btw, happy fishing, lots of fun!
