Coral Island: How To Catch Fish Efficiently

This fishing guide for Coral Island offers comprehensive strategies for mastering fishing, from mechanics and pole upgrades to casting techniques and bait usage. It includes tips on selecting perks, exploring various fishing locations, and a unique tip on finding critters in trash cans, enhancing the overall fishing experience in the game.

How to Catch Fish

Fishing in Coral Island is an engaging activity that requires skill and patience. To fish, stand near any body of water, equip your fishing pole, and cast the line by clicking and holding the mouse button. The distance your line reaches depends on how long you hold the button.

Once a fish bites, a mini-game starts where you need to fill a meter to reel in the fish, balancing reeling with the tension indicated by squiggly lines on the meter. Too much tension can snap the line, so it's a game of careful timing and control.

Casting: Click and hold the mouse button to cast the line.
Mini-Game: Balance reeling in with the tension to catch the fish.

Casting and Catching

For effective fishing, always cast as far as your pole allows, as it minimizes the chance of catching trash and increases the odds of catching larger and rarer fish. For smaller, common fish or trash, shorter casts are more effective. The key is to understand the fish you're targeting and adjust your casting distance accordingly.

Long Casts: For rare and large fish.
Short Casts: For common fish and trash.

Fishing Perks

Choosing the right fishing perks can greatly enhance your fishing experience. The Strong Arms perk reduces fish resistance by 10%, making it easier to reel in. The Lucky Angler perk gives a 3% chance for an instant pull, which can be a game-changer for legendary fish. The Quality Fish perk increases the chance of a better quality catch by 10%, useful for catching specific quality fish required on the catch altar.

Strong Arms: Lowers fish resistance.
Lucky Angler: Chance for instant pull.

The Quality fishing pole, available at level 5 in fishing for 12,000 coins, offers increased cast lengths, better reeling speed, and higher tension tolerance, making fishing much easier.

Using Fish Bait

The large fish bait is particularly useful for catching the more elusive large fish.

Large Fish Bait: Best for large, elusive fish.
