Fishing for pike from a boat

Any way we could get some info on what fish are allowed to be caught where, using a fishing net? I tried to catch pike with a small fishing net at sea and got the message that I must be on a lake. It would have been nice to know in advance that pike wasn't actually an option even though it shows up as one. Or even better: allow pike fishing at sea?

Thanks! :)

I figured it was, but when using machinery it usually either works or there isn't an option in the game for it. You don't hop on a hematite drill and get a message at the project tick that there's no hematite in that location. Just seems not-so-user-friendly that there's nothing in game to notify people.

Works pretty much the same as when you try to make something that needs a machine present in the room, though ;)

No, not at all the same. When you attempt to do something in a location that lacks the machinery, it gives you an error message immediately that alerts you to the fact the machine isn't present.

"ERROR: You can only build this when you are on a location with a lathe."

When you set up a fishing project to catch pike at sea using a fishing net, it will let you create the project. It's not until the project tick that you get a message saying pike isn't available at this location.

Ah, that's a bit annoying, yeah...
