Fish are catchable when fishing using a fishing pole. They can be found in the ocean, lake or river, and some are unique to either day or night or only appear when it rains. Fish are used in cooking and the fishing community center bundles. The length of each fish type is recorded, and viewable on the collection screen.
Fishing can be done near any body of water, but some places have lower rates of fish. These areas have a higher chance to reel in junk, which can be sold for a small profit or saved and turned into useful items with the recycler (which unlocks with level 4 fishing.)
There are certain locations that seem to have a guaranteed chance of a gold fish if you have the "max" cast. These are: the northern shore of the island above the hat shop in the forest, the southern tip of the second island in the mountain lake and the eastern pier in the ocean. (there might be more spots as well)
Fishing Mini Game
When a fish is hooked a window appears with a fishing mini-game. The player must move the highlighted area up or down to keep the fish inside it. While the fish overlaps it the catch meter will fill, while the fish is not inside the area it will decrease. If the catch meter fills completely the fish is caught, if it becomes completely empty the fish escapes. If the fish does not leave the meter boundry once, you will receive a "perfect".
See the fishing page for more details about equipment, mechanics and things unlocked as the fishing skill levels up.
Fish Types
Crab Pot Fish
Some fish are only catchable using a baited crab pot. All of these crabs can be used in the Crab Pot Bundle
Other Catchables
There are some consumable non-junk catches players can reel in while fishing. They do not trigger the fishing mini-game, but are instead immediately picked up.
