How to Spawn Sea Fish
Sea Fishing Locations
There are only two locations to keep in mind when fishing for Ocean fish.
| Pier | Ocean |
Pier
| 1 | Craft Fish Bait and throw it from the end the pier |
|---|---|
| 2 | Check for the shadow of the fish you want |
Both pier and normal ocean fish can spawn on the pier, so you may have to go through some fish bait before spawning a rare fish!
Note: Pier fish will not spawn on the bridge leading to the Airport.
Ocean
The process is exactly the same as pier fishing. Pick a spot along the beach and hook, line, and sink 'em!
