Fishing (Skill)

General#

The Fishing skill levels up with every catch, from your island pond to the far fishing areas. It works alongside your fishing rods: the rod decides what you can catch, the skill makes you better at catching it.

Abilities#

Abilities grow one level every 5 skill levels after unlocking.

Ability Unlocks At Effect Rate
Lucky Catch Level 2 Chance to reel in a second fish +1.8% per ability level, up to about 46% at Fishing 120
Epic Catch Level 10 Catches are more likely to be of rarer tiers Grows each ability level
Trophy Hunter Level 11 Reels in larger fish, skewing size toward the top of the tier +0.07 per ability level
Fishmonger Level 30 Your fish sell for more 5% base, +2.5% per ability level, capped at 50%

Mana Ability: Call of the Deep#

Unlocked at Fishing 10. Left-click your rod to stir the deep: for a short time, every catch has a chance to drag up a boss instead of a fish. The chance starts at 10% and grows every 10 skill levels up to ability level 10, reaching about 50% at the top. The cooldown starts at five minutes and shortens as the ability levels.
