[GGFISH]
Some people enjoy the fishing function in this game. If you're amongst
those people, then you'll probably want to know about some of the stuff you
can do with fishing (like catching the King Fish, which can only be caught
when specific circumstances are met), and how the fishing is in the spots
where you can fish. Below is the list of each of the King Fish, and where
to find them. I suggest you use the Fishing Pole (not the Rod) to try and
catch any of these. Most of them are very easy to catch, and can usually
be caught within a single day's worth of trying. The trick is to meet the
requirements, of course.
Catfish - This one is in the winter mine's lake, and can't be reached until
Winter (obviously). There are no requirements for catching it, making it
the easiest one to fish up.
Angler - Fish in the ocean in the early hours (6:00AM to 8:00AM) or the
dead of night (10:00PM to 5:50AM), during Winter.
Char - Get all of the fish-related recipes (Grilled Fish, Sashimi, Sushi,
and Chirashi Sushi), then fish in the river/pond near the Hot Springs (not
where it runs past your own farm). You can do this during any season,
fortunately.
Squid - This one only appears during the Summer. Throw a Small Fish into
the ocean, and then keep fishing. The Small Fish only works for one day,
so if you fail to catch it, you'll have to toss another one in the next
time you try.
Sea Bream - Ship out at least 200 fish total. This is not even remotely
easy to do, since you can only catch one fish at a time, and they breed
very slowly in the fish pond. Once you have met this requirement, go
fishing in the ocean during any season but Summer. NOTE: You HAVE to ship
out the fish for this King Fish by hand; the game doesn't count it if
they're put in the Basket first!
Carp - Caught in the lake during Fall, after having caught all 5 other
King Fish.
Next, we have the overview of each and every fishing spot.
Spot: Stream running by the farm
Fish Types: Small Fish
Fish-to-Trash Ratio: 1 fish to 3 trash
Time to Catch: 5 minutes to 1 hour
Difficulty: Easy
Notes: This is the worst place to fish.
reasonable is if you have only the Fishing Rod and it's Winter.
Spot: Goddess waterfall pond
Fish Types: Small Fish, Medium Fish
Fish-to-Trash Ratio: 1 fish to 2 trash
Time to Catch: 10 minutes to 2 hours
Difficulty: Average
Notes: The fishing here is okay, but I don't advise you bother with it.
There are better catches not far away at the lake, and it takes less time
up there.
Spot: Mother Lake
Fish Types: Small Fish, Medium Fish
Fish-to-Trash Ratio: 2 fish to 1 trash
Time to Catch: 10 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes
Difficulty: Average
Notes: This is the best spot to fish. The only downside to it is that it's
the furthest away from home. I suggest you use it for all of your fishing
purposes, even after you get the Fishing Pole; it's possible to pull up 8
fish in 6 hours there, which makes catching the Sea Bream that much easier.
Note that you can fish here in winter, even though the majority of the lake
is frozen. If you go to the bridge, you'll see that there's no ice near
where the waterfall flows. Just cast out on either side of the bridge, and
you should hit water.
Spot: Ocean
Fish Types: Small Fish, Medium Fish, Large Fish
Fish-to-Trash Ratio: 1 fish to 1 trash
Time to Catch: 10 minutes to 1 hour
Difficulty: Hard
Notes: If you're feeling especially masochistic, you can do all of your
fishing here.
