Sometimes, a pool of bubbles appears in the water (referred to as a '''Fish Splash Point''' by the game code). Casting into them results in blue sparkles appearing. Bubbles grant two benefits:<ref name="bubbles" />

* When determining the type of fish that is hooked, the effective [[#Fishing Zone|Fishing Zone]] is increased by 1, ''i.e.,'' trash is less likely to be caught and difficult-to-catch are more likely. Some [[Fish#Legendary Fish|Legendary Fish]] can be found closer to the shore when bubbles are present.

** This adjustment to the fishing zone only applies to the type of fish that is caught.  Bubbles have no effect on fish size or quality or on treasure chests.

No more than one bubble spot can exist per area (''e.g.,'' [[Pelican Town]], [[Cindersap Forest]]) at any given time, but different bubble spots can occur in multiple areas simultaneously. Some bubble spots are not possible for the player to reach with the fishing rod. Bubble spots cannot spawn on [[the Farm]] unless the player has chosen the [[Farm Maps|Riverland Farm Map]]<ref name="performtenminuteupdate" />.

It is possible to slightly alter the line's placement mid-cast with the movement keys, allowing better control over aiming the cast. Angling the cast is useful in two scenarios:

* In some non-standard fishing spots, it is necessary to angle the cast to get further from land.

<ref name="treasure_special">The chance of a special item appearing in a treasure chest is adjusted by <samp>LuckModifier</samp>, which is set to <samp>(1 + DailyLuck) * FishingZone/5</samp>. This means that fishing zone is the most important factor, as special items are 5x more likely to be found when caught in a fishing zone of 5 instead of 1. Special items are only 1.25x more likely to be found with maximum daily luck (0.125) instead of minimum (-0.1). For example, the chance of finding a Broken Trident varies from 0.075% (DailyLuck=-0.1, FishingZone=1) to 0.469% (DailyLuck=0.125, FishingZone=5). The page lists the chance of finding special items with neutral luck and Zone=5.</ref>
