Now that I've actually tried controller fishing for a bit, this is how it's sorted.

XHB1 RT/RH: Actions here are grouped together for simple line fishing that does not involve mooching.

I am currently lvl 45 fisher, and this is the layout I use. I will update as I lvl up.

For level 100 FSH

5-year KB+M player gets Steam Deck, is forced to learn controller. regular fishing is heavily prioritized over spearfishing.

Custom Slots

• [1] Cast/Hook macro (see below)
• [2] Cordial
• [3] /sit Emote

!GENERAL FISHING CROSSBAR!

1= HI-CORDIAL

The XHB setup I use for my Fisher. 1-3 are unique to FSH, all else are shared between all jobs. XHB4's LT->RT pane is a selection of emotes. XHB7 is my job selector.

fishing for controller

1 - Easy general fishing

Here is to make it easy to do general fishing.

2 - Buffs and macros

I have /sit on [1] and Cordials on the far left macros.

PROVISIONAL - NOT LEVELLED OR TESTED

The idea for my Fisher setup is that there is a main hotbar for the most useful actions for general/ocean fishing, you press R1 to access spearfishing skills, and the middle hotbar is for ease of movement, large-size fish and Patience skills. Dye button here = Cordial

All are FSH specific. Extra bait stays in Saddlebag. Tried to keep things grouped functionally. Untested so far, purely hypothetical.
