3 Essential Fishing Tips
🔊 1. Listen for Sound & Vibration Cues
When a fish bites, you will see a red "!" exclamation mark. Relying on sound cues or controller vibration allows for faster reaction times, preventing fish from escaping.
✦ 2. The East Town 3-Pond Refresh Trick
Go to the east side of town where 3 ponds are located. Catch all large fish shadows, then walk out of the zone and re-enter immediately to instantly refresh fish spawns!
✅ 3. Always Donate First Fish to the Museum
Whenever you catch a new fish species, check if it has a small museum icon on it. Always donate your first catch to Eiland and Luc at the Museum before selling or cooking it!
