The Vendetta Flopper was added to Fortnite in Update 14.10, adding another fish to catch if you want a full collection. If you want to catch the Vendetta Flopper, the good news is that it can be caught anywhere, anytime. You don't need to fish at night or in a specific part of the map. You will, however, need a professional fishing rod to catch this fish.
If you catch and eat the Vendetta Flopper, it will mark the location of a nearby enemy, so be sure to save it for any slippery players who manage to escape in a shootout.
How to get a pro fishing rod
If you are lucky, a professional fishing rod can spawn when you loot a barrel in the game, if not, you can just upgrade a standard fishing rod and upgrade bench for 100 stones, 100 wood and 100 metals. The Pro Fishing Rod increases your chances of catching rare fish, and some fish will need a Pro Fishing Rod to catch them.
The easiest way to catch fish in Fortnite
If you really want to try and catch fish that you don't have in your collection, we suggest you fish in the Battle Lab. Any fish you catch in the Battle Lab will count towards your collection, and you can happily fish there for as long as you want without the shrinking storm taking you away from your fishing spot.
You can even make a few changes to the settings to make fishing faster in the Battle Lab. Before charging, set your option to night only. This increases the spawning of the fish and some of the new fish can only be caught at night. It is also recommended that you set your loot to “High Explosives” to make sure you don't catch weapons when fishing. We also have a full list of all the fish in the game, and where you can catch them to help you out.
