Spiritfarer Fishing Guide

As you travel between the islands with your boat at Spiritfarer, you have the option of relaxing and throwing in your yellow fishing rod to try and catch the fish that pass by your boat. It is a relaxing activity which helps to waste time while wandering around the game. There are various fish that you can catch while doing this activity, and you also have the option to bring back unwanted items which catch on your line. However, you won't find all the fish in one place.

When traveling, the basic idea of ​​Spiritfarer fishing is to go to the lounge chair to the left of the captain's cabin and cast your line. You have to watch the golden bobber resting on the water. When it dives beneath the waves, you want to get started using the "interact" button, which is X for many using an E button controller if you are using a mouse and keyboard. Once the bobber hits the vessel, pull your catch, whether it's healthy fish or scraps caught on your line.

When you come across harder to catch fish, your fishing rod will turn red instead of gold. Although red, you have to constantly press the button you use to spin until it turns gold again. Once this has become normal, you can hold the button down as you traditionally would.

Suppose you are looking for a particular type of fish. In this case, you may need to explore the ocean in different places and at specific times of the day. For example, haddock is a type of fish that you can only catch in a foggy area. You want to continue exploring the map while browsing the game. Spend as much time fishing as possible to complete your fishing book and create recipes for the various visitors to your boat.

Eventually, the wandering merchant, Francis, will ask you to run an errand for them. If you complete this race, you may discover a hidden shard that will grant you access to a better fishing rod. However, you can catch all of the fish using the base fish, according to other players on Steam and Reddit.
