Five Iron Rules
1.Baits are keys, not upgrades
Pricier bait never raises bite rate — it unlocks different species. Check what your target eats, then buy.
2.Craft > scavenge > buy
Dough crafted, worms dug, shrimp netted, chunks dismantled — four free chains cover 80% of needs. Save gold for glow bait and legendary lures.
3.Legendary lures do not refund
One shot per lure. Confirm the window is open, gear is ready, and your stamina/reel are full before casting.
4.Convert live bait on the spot
Long-press a small fish in your bag to convert. Half the shop price — if you can bear spending today's catch on tomorrow's ticket.
5.The vendor's night stock differs
After 18:00 the pier vendor stocks glow bait and rare items. Browse before every night trip.
“Converted three days of catch into live bait for the King Marlin. Cast one: off. Cast two: off. Cast three landed and I screamed like a seagull on the deck. Worth it.”
