Complete Fishing Guide

Fishing in Seikyu

Fishing is one of the six core skills and a reliable source of income year-round. Unlike farming, fishing never stops — even in Winter, the waters hold valuable catches.

How Fishing Works

1. Equip your rod and stand near water
2. Cast and wait for a bite (visual + audio cue)
3. Reel in by timing your pulls — watch the tension meter
4. Don't over-tension — the line breaks if the meter stays in the red too long
5. Higher Fishing skill = larger catch window = easier catches

Fishing Spots Guide

# Rivers

• Best for: Black Bass, Eel (Summer), Salmon (Fall)
• Access: Multiple points along the main river through town
• Tip: Cast near rocks and fallen logs — fish congregate around structure

# Ocean

• Best for: Tuna (Winter), Blobfish (Fall/Winter), Pufferfish (Summer), Cuttlefish (Spring/Summer)
• Access: Beach area south of town
• Tip: Ocean fish are generally more valuable than river fish. Prioritize ocean time.

# Shallow Sea

• Best for: Crystal Shrimp (Spring/Summer/Fall)
• Access: Wading areas along the coastline
• Tip: Crystal Shrimp are consistent mid-value catches

# Ponds

• Best for: Bream (Summer)
• Access: Small ponds near the forest area
• Tip: Less crowded with fish but sometimes yield surprises

Tips for Catching Rare and Precious Fish

1. Fish during the right season — Rare fish only appear in specific seasons
2. Upgrade your rod — Higher-tier rods make precious fish possible to catch
3. Fish at optimal times — Early morning (6:00-8:00 AM) and evening (6:00-8:00 PM) tend to have better bites
4. Watch the weather — Cod only appears on rainy days
5. Be patient — Precious fish bite less often. Don't leave the spot; keep casting
6. Use bait (if available) — Some bait increases rare fish appearance rates
7. Level Fishing skill — Higher skill widens the catch window significantly
