Introduction
Animal Crossing New Horizons has become an incredibly popular game since its release in March 2020. Players of all ages are enjoying the game's vibrant world, wide array of activities, and of course the ability to make friends with other players. One of the main activities in the game is catching fish, which can be sold to earn bells or donated to the museum. Catching fish can be a difficult and time consuming task, but with the right strategies and tips it can be made a lot easier. This guide will provide you with everything you need to know about catching fish in Animal Crossing New Horizons.
Where To Find Fish
Fish can be found in various bodies of water around the island. Sea creatures, such as octopuses and sea stars, can also be found in the ocean. The best way to find fish is to look for shadows in the water. Fish shadows come in different sizes and shapes, and they will move around the water when you approach them. When you see a shadow, press the A button to cast your line and see if you can catch the fish.
What Time Of Day Is Best For Fishing?
The time of day can have a big impact on your success rate when fishing. Fish can be found all day long, but some species are more active during certain times. Generally speaking, the best time to fish is early in the morning (4am to 9am) and in the evening (4pm to 9pm). During these times, more fish will be active and you will have a better chance of catching them.
What Bait To Use
Bait is an important factor when it comes to catching fish. There are several types of bait available and each type will attract different types of fish. The most basic bait is the tiny fish bait which can be used to catch small fish. Medium fish bait can be used to catch medium-sized fish and large fish bait will attract larger fish. In addition, there are special bait types such as honey and manila clams which can be used to catch rare fish.
What Fish Are Available?
Animal Crossing New Horizons has a wide variety of fish which can be caught. There are over 40 different species of fish, including bass, trout, salmon, carp, and many more. Each fish has a different size, rarity, and value which can be used to determine which fish to keep and which to sell. Additionally, some fish can only be caught during certain months of the year, so it is important to pay attention to the time of year when fishing.
How To Catch Fish
Once you have found a fish, you will need to cast your line in order to catch it. To do this, press the A button to cast your line. You will then need to wait for the fish to take the bait. Once the fish has taken the bait, press the A button again to reel it in. You will then need to press the A button and the control stick in the opposite direction to the fish in order to catch it. The more you press the A button, the quicker the fish will be reeled in.
How To Sell Fish
Once you have caught a fish, you can sell it to the store for bells. The amount of bells you receive will depend on the size and rarity of the fish. You can also donate the fish to the museum, which will give you a donation reward. Donating fish to the museum is a great way to help contribute to the island and gain access to rare items.
Tips For Catching Fish
Catching fish can be a difficult task, but there are some tips which can help make the process easier. Firstly, try to cast your line in the same spot for a few minutes before moving on. This will give the fish time to find the bait and increase your chances of catching one. Secondly, try to use the correct bait for the fish you are trying to catch. Thirdly, use the rod reel technique to increase your chances of catching a fish. Finally, always make sure to pay attention to the shadows in the water as this is the best way to spot a fish.
