A school of Fancy Tail Chompers off the coast of Critter Cove.
So, you want to learn how fish? Barnacle will help you get started! He can be found on a small, unmarked island just south of Critter Cove, called Oh Cay. Barnacle will give the player the quest Fishing is Oh Cay during which the player will learn to craft a Basic Fishing Pole and catch fish. As the player advances in the game, they will have the opportunity to open the Bait Shop and buy additional types of lures to catch different fish.
Current Knowledge[]
- The time of day does not affect the fish availability. Devs on Discord suggest this might change in the future.
- If you see a fish swimming in the water, it can usually be caught there.
- Some fish are rare and have a very low chance to be found.
- Some fish need a specific lure to be caught.
- While fishing you will catch Trash Salvage items. These items are on a worldwide loot table, and some are rarer than others.
- Lures are only used up when catching actual fish and not with salvage items.
- To attach a lure to your hook, in inventory, click on the lure you want to use and an "X" symbol will appear on the item (clicking again un-equips it).
- All fish can be recycled for oil (some give more oil than others).
