To help you out, we’ve put together a comprehensive fishing guide for Sea of Stars.

How to Fish in Sea of Stars

To begin fishing in Sea of Stars, you’ll need to be near a fishing lake or pond. These can be found throughout the world map. Once you’ve located a suitable spot, follow these steps to fish:

• Stand at the dock of the fishing lake or pond and press the Confirm button to cast your fishing line or bobber.
• While the hook is in the air, use the D-Pad to control the direction of the bobber.
• Once you’ve chosen the direction, press the Confirm button again to drop the bobber into the water. Wait for a fish to bite.
• Press the Confirm button to reel in the fish once it bites.
• When reeling in the fish, steer the bobber in the opposite direction to prevent it from escaping.
• Keep the fish within the blue wavy light to ensure a successful catch.
• Be gentle with the fishing line and bobber to avoid breaking it.
• If the fish jumps out of the water, press the Confirm button to knock it out.
• Once the fish is subdued, reel it in quickly in your direction.

After catching a fish, you can choose to turn it into fillet or release it back into the lake or pond where it was caught.
