Looking for a certain type of fish? The Robot Fish can only be caught at the pond at the Landgraab Industries Science Facility. The Vampire Fish can only be caught at the pond in the graveyard. The best time to go fishing is between 4AM and 6AM. This is when the best and biggest fish are biting!

There are many different fish species to be found throughout town. You can find the best fishing spots by looking for fish jumping or swimming under the water. You can also use the “Inspect” interaction by clicking on the water to find out what kind of fish that body of water has. Fish will always swim in the same locations.

Fish can be sold to the super market for Simoleons, used as fertilizer, or cooked fresh at home as a tasty meal.

Knowing the proper bait will greatly improve a Sim’s chances of catching a specific fish. Larger and heavier fish tend to be worth more. Increase your Fishing Skill and use Perfect bait to catch the best fish!
