This mod adds a lot of variation to the fish that can be caught (which is especially appreciated when combined with food mods such as Farmer's Delight) but it also makes other small nice improvements to oceans and waterways as a whole.

I personally really like the pickerelreed and driftwood, although the generation can sometimes make traversing waterways a bit annoying. Unfortunately, the new armour set and tool tier feel a bit out of place which is annoying when adding this mod to a pack.

The bait system is interesting, but with how easy it often is to find fish as creatures and to fish without i often don't find myself using it that often. I do however like the fact that tins can be used as an extra source of iron which can be nice early game.

I would still recommend this mod, but in a pack it probably needs some configuration especially to make the armour set fit the progression and theme.
