The basic loop
Step
The whole game runs on a simple cycle you repeat each time you go out.
- Cast your hook drop it deep into the sea and wait for fish to appear on the way back up.
- Catch fish time your grab as they swim past while the hook rises.
- Decide what to do sell a fish for money, or add it to your aquarium to fill your collection.
Fishing tips
TipsA few small techniques make a noticeable difference.
- Hold to reel up faster — this also makes it easier to aim at fish that are swimming side to side.
- Upgrade your fishing pole so your hook can reach deeper water, where rarer fish live.
- Rare, fatter fish are found deeper.
- Hook chests when they come up — they contain the rarest fish in the game.
- Upgrade your boat to carry more fish per trip and move faster.

Common questions
FAQHow do I catch rarer fish?
Rare fish live deeper in the sea, so upgrading your fishing pole is the most direct way to reach them. Hooking chests also gives you access to the rarest catches.
How do I get a pet?
Add a fish to your aquarium first, then select it as your pet. The chosen fish will follow your character and collect money as you play.
What does upgrading my boat do?
A better boat lets you carry more fish in a single trip and moves faster.
