Fishing: Barents Sea

This is a fishing sim for people who want to actually understand how the job works, not just cast a line and wait. You start with a boat inherited from your grandfather and slowly work your way up to bigger vessels, better gear and a bank loan or two. The mood is calm, with the hum of the engine and wind over open water. The highlights: - Your first hours go to heading out to sea and tracking fish with sonar and radar, at your own pace. - The trawl setup takes real thought: door sensors, TrawlEye and yearly quotas push you to plan ahead instead of mashing one button. - Weather and seasonal fish migration are built on 20 years of data, so the same spot can behave differently from one trip to the next. - The open map of northern Norway is big, and exploring it alone is relaxing, with the pub in port always waiting for your next job. You can buy Fishing: Barents Sea as a Steam gift here. Send us your friend invite link, and the bot adds you as a friend and sends the game as a gift to your account. Take the helm of your very own fishing boat in Fishing: Barents Sea and explore the vastness of the Norwegian sea in search for the best fishing zones. Start with the little boat inherited from your grandfather, catch fish and earn money for upgrades as well as bigger and better boats. Enjoy the beautiful Barents Sea and make your fishing industry dreams come true. Learn how to catch different kinds of fish with various fishing equipment on several different boats. Every method is easy to learn, but hard to master - time to show what you are made of! Use officially licensed Scanmar equipment like door sensors and the TrawlEye to have complete control over your trawl. Upgrade it to make sure you get the biggest catch! But be sure to stay under your yearly fishing quotas, every step and every fishing run needs to be planned. 20 years of weather data recreate a realistic environment for the schools of fish in the Barents Sea, which move according to season and water temperature. It's up to you to keep track of everything. Visit the harbor pub to hire crew members or accept missions. At the port you are also able to repair or upgrade your ships, get a loan from the bank or buy supplies and bait at the shop.

Look for the best fishing zones with the help of your sonar, radar and GPS and catch yourself the biggest profit.
