No Xp for fishing

[Ruble Noon]

I've noticed after online came out of beta I'm not getting xp for catching fish anymore. During beta I was receiving 10xp for small fish and 20 for larger fish. Anyone else notice this?

Howdy ! I believe the xp you get from fishing only lasts untill your outer ring on your cores are full. Great way to shore those up but xp stops once they are complete. Hope this helps.

Damn! I never realised you could get xp when fishing online. I guess my cores were always full.

the xp gets your outer health core to max

A well-thrown stick of dynamite in a group of diverse fish will bring you anywhere from 150 to 500XP. There is also a resettable award for this. Best time to do it? When it is very quiet,  your posse mate is fishing and doesn't see you. Warning: it's best to do this when friendly fire is off 😁😂

I caught over 5000 fish and never noticed any XP, so I only fished when I needed cash in a hurry, otherwise I had to hunt, and do missions for xp.
I didnt think we got any Xp at all for fishing, at least I never noticed any.

As previously stated, catching fish gains you "Health XP" towards your maximum health. 

I don't recall the exact amounts, as this was one of the 1st things I did when I started playing in November, but it's something along the lines of:

+10 for small fish, +20 for medium fish and +30 for large fish.  You will see an indicator on the right side of the screen, with the health icon and the amount of XP gained.  If you are already at max health, then you will not see these indicators.

 

In game, Press the Menu button and click on "Player", then click on the tab for your character, to access your character sub-menu... click either Health, Stamina or Dead Eye and go to "Progression"... It will tell you what activities you can do to increase your outer rings to their max level.

Health:  Fist fights, bow shots, FISHING and other physical strength related activities.

Stamina:  Performing strenuous activities such as sprinting or swimming.

Dead Eye:  Trick shots, hunting, crafting and other survivalist activities.
