  1. Is it okay to throw fish back in the water?

    Hello. I'm doing a sort of fishing pacifist run, and I will only be collecting fish for the community center and fish ponds. Does the game count it as throwing trash into the ocean if I release the fish I don't need back into the water? If it does count as littering, how does this impact gameplay?
  2. Spawn rate for fish changed/bugged?

    Hi all, since the update I have had the experience that the rates at which I caught several fish were terrible. For example, in a multiplayer game, I was asked to catch 3 sardines and despite fishing all day (and at a relatively low level, 5 max) I did catch basically every ocean fish except for...
  3. 1.6 Update Fishing bug(?), Mining suggestions/requests, and misc

    Hey all, enjoying 1.6 to the core and been playing the game nonstop since the update dropped it is so good, thanks again ConcernedApe for everything ! I had a few observations and request/suggestions that i wanted to share with the community : 1) Fishing : the challenge bait fish quality seems...
  4. iOS Fishing noise keeps playing

    Note: I’ve had this issue before 1.5 came to mobile. Sometimes when I’m fishing, the reeling noise that plays during the minigame keeps playing until I close out the app. It keeps going even if you stop fishing, sleep, etc. It’s not a big deal but it’s annoying,
  5. Windows Out-of-Season Fish in Help Wanted Quest

    Was on Summer 3 and there was a Help Wanted quest from Willy asking for Sardines to be caught, but Sardines are only in Spring, Fall, and Winter. This is in 1.6 on Steam on Windows, single-player.
  6. SPOILERS - Late game fishing

    Hey there :) So I really enjoy fishing, and I know that late game it mostly isn't really worth it anymore... But I did find some things that I still find useful: - fishing up useful fish for recipes like Eel, Midnight Carp, Flounder, Sea Cucumber or in gamefiles where I'm not maxed out yet...
  7. Mac Fishing on tiles next to spa pond

    Hi, I was playing on multiplayer and was fishing in this pond when I accidentally fished on one of the tiles. I could still get hits and fish up debris, even though it was on a land tile. Not sure why this happened. Was playing on mac, multiplayer joined via lan, English, latest version on...
  8. iOS Magic bait keeps disappearing

    On my iPhone 8 with iOS 16.6, I’ve lost more than 200 magic bait as I try to affix them to my iridium rod. I’ve gone back to previous saves and tried many approaches. The stack of 100+ bait always shows up as just one on my rod. And removing it from the rod - there’s still just one.
  9. Attaching Tackle with iPad

    I feel like I have become pretty successful fishing with an iridium pole and eating trout stew. I impulsively bought a bunch of tackle, and can't figure out how to attach it to the pole. I feel like I have dragged/dropped in lots of combinations, but I can still only "hold" the rod OR the tackle...
  10. iOS FISHING ROD SOUND BUG

    90% of the time when i fish, the audio of the fishing rod keeps playing throughout. Even if i exit to the title screen it keeps playing. There is no way i can stop it unless i completely restart the game. This is driving me insane and it ruins the ambient sounds of the game. I've searched on...

    Mod idea: Ability to combine different types of fishing tackle (lures, bobbers)

    I thought perhaps a good mod idea would be to have the ability to combine bobbers, such as the Quality Bobber combined with the Trap Bobber. This could possibly be done in a manner similar to combining rings in the Forge. I'm not a modder, but I thought I'd post here to see if anyone in the...

    Switch First geode from fishing

    1000+ hours player here. I started a new vanilla playthrough and found if your first geode is from fishing chests it will not play the animation that your first geode normally plays- later when in the mines I did get a geode the animation played even though it was not my first

    Linux Wild Bait Recipe

    I have 10 hearts with Linus but never got the Wild Bait event. (I also have max fishing skill) On my farm I have a fish pond where I have slimejacks that require 5 Wild Bait to get to the next level. How can I get the Wild Bait event to play or where can I buy the recipe? Failing all that is...
  14. Crab Pot Question (Not Important)

    Did anyone else level up their fishing level just to make crab traps for Elliot? Is it worth upgrading my fishing skill up more? Also, do I NEED to buy a better fishing rod, or can I just use the one Willy gave me when I first met him?
  15. Android Fishing Bug in the 1.5 Mobile Update

    Type of phone: OnePlus 8T (Android version 12) Details of your issue: Every time I catch a fish, the bar freezes and stops moving. It’s kind of hard to see in the video but once the bar lands on a fish everything freezes and I’m unable to catch anything. This happens everywhere I try to fish so...

    Issue Easy Fishing and MovementSpeed

    Hiya, been having an issue with Easy Fishing that I think is a conflict with MovementSpeed, every now and then when I reel in my bobber (assume when the game is trying to select a fish to start the minigame) there's a short pause before my line reels in with nothing on it. Output in SMAPI...

    Glitchy fishing spot 😁

    The good thing is I was able to get a lot of algae which was my goal.
  20. Windows [BUG] Can't Fish in the Game Any More

    I've been playing Stardew for several weeks and have never had an issue with fishing until yesterday. When I cast my pole, I get the sound indicator that a fish is biting and when I try to click on the bobber to get a 'hit' it does nothing. I click and click and click and it does nothing. RMB...
