Hi and thanks in advance! I love this feature since it helped me a bit with food scarcity. Thing is I don't quite understand the "formula" behind it.

1)Does it matter if I get more than I fishing rod? like one for each party member?
2)The amount of fish caught are related to the party member with the highest survival or is it a combined survival roll?
3)Aside from the black dude who was a realtor, are there any other bonuses I should be aware?
4)Does the trait "Forager" from survival apply to it? do I get an extra 25% plus the other guy's bonus?

Again, thanks in advance.

Fishing is a VERY efficient way to gather food. With a party of my main, Troy, Nathan, and Bud, all with 10 survival, and four fishing poles, I can pull in well over 300 rations fishing at the lake in a day. So adding in all the other food from my chickens (+7 daily), the well (+1 daily), the garden and greenhouse (+30 weekly), the mushroom boxes (+20 weekly), farmers with some perks to farming output (+14 weekly), I can easily sustain my shelter's food needs with 1 trip every four days or so, even with some minor fresh food spoilage.
