#Fishing Zones

Draw zones on the map and configure their:

• Bite times (e.g. dawn-only, night-only)
• Fish density
• Abundance modifier
• Weight modifier
• Permit requirement
• Per-fish overrides — boost or restrict specific species

Zones are drawn and edited entirely from the configurator's Zones tab — no Lua coordinates required.

#Grid-Based Fish Populations

Every player sees the same fish pool in the same water cell. A productive spot is genuinely productive — and gets fished out if it's hammered.

This means:

• Players fishing the same area compete for the same fish.
• Spots regenerate on a timer.
• Fish Finder readings are accurate across all players.

#Sea Boundary

A single polygon traces the coastline. Points inside the polygon are freshwater, points outside are saltwater. Fish species can be locked to either or both, so a freshwater rainbow trout will never spawn in the ocean.

Edit the boundary visually from the Zones → Sea Boundary tab.

#Depth Overrides

GTA's native water depth detection is sometimes wrong (rivers, shallow bays). Draw a depth-override polygon to force a specific depth in those areas — or set depth to 0 to mark a zone as completely unfishable.

#Fish Finder

A tablet item that scans the surrounding grid cells and tells you what's biting where. Useful for finding rare species and seeing whether a spot has been fished out.
