Fishing conditions can be either terrible or good, depending on the following factors.

- This is the main parameter needed for fishing. It is provided by fishing rods, bait, accessories, the size of the fishing spot, the phases of the moon, luck, armor, mounts, effects, time, weather, and other things that we will discuss further.

The Fisherman's Pocket Guide will help you find out your fishing power.

There are 11 fishing rods in total in the game, each one better than the last

There are a total of 46 pieces of bait in the game, so finding it will not be a problem. I can highlight the easiest way to get bait at any time. First, you need to go to the jungle and find bushes and leaves that are 4 blocks long. You need to break them, and a larva, bug, or slug will drop out. But in order to catch bait, you first need to purchase a net. You can also find lava creatures in hell that you can fish for in lava.


Below, I will simply insert a table from Wikipedia, because inserting all the bait manually would be madness.
I want to highlight Golden Baits, which are rare golden versions of regular baits with a fishing power of 50%. Also, don't fish without preparation with a Truffle Worm (only available in hard mode, summons a strong boss). And with the help of lava snails, flies, and butterflies, you can fish in lava.

For successful fishing, 75 interconnected blocks of liquid are required (1,000 for the ocean and 50 for honey). The surface area (where the float floats) continues to connect the blocks of liquid as long as they are beneath it.

This image shows global fishing areas. Each part of the world will have different catches, but there are also separate parts of the world:

Ocean
Forest - Underground forest
Desert
Oasis
Winter-Underground winter
Jungle-Underground jungle
Underworld
Corruption
Crimson
Consecration-Underground consecration
Mushroom biome
Floating islands
Lava
Honey

Here is also a table of effects depending on the size of the body of water

The phases of the moon are an integral part of the game and fishing. There are 8 phases of the moon in total. Depending on the current phase of the moon, your fishing power will either increase or decrease (the phases of the moon also affect many other things, but now we will talk specifically about fishing). You can find out the phase of the moon by its appearance or with the help of a sextant.

The weather also affects many things, but we will talk about fishing. There are two types of weather in the game that can increase fishing power: cloudy and rainy. The weather radio will help you understand what the weather is like right now.

Even during the day, your fishing power indicator can fluctuate, specifically at certain intervals, which I will discuss further. To determine the current time, you will need a pocket watch and its variants (you can also use a stationary clock that can be crafted, but it displays the time in minutes).


Here is a table showing the time during which fishing strength either increases or decreases (x1.3- +30% f.p.; x0.8- -20% f.p.).

Luck is another parameter that is not displayed anywhere, but still affects fishing power.









As a result, depending on the player's luck, they can have anywhere from -10% Fishing Power to -40% if their luck is less than 0, and the same in the positive direction.

The game also unexpectedly features a mount that increases your Fishing skill by 5 when you are standing in water. To summon it, you need to buy a Shell Whistle from the Zoologist after filling your bestiary by 25% for 20 gold (there is also an inflatable ring that does the same thing, which can be found in sea chests).

(I don't know what to write, I slept for 4 hours)

There is also special armor that increases fishing power and gives nice bonuses.

I apologize, but I will not be inserting all of this. I could, but it would look poor and take a lot of time, so provide the links instead.

There are a total of 3 potions in the game that affect fishing in some way.

A angler is a NPC that can be found in the ocean. To get him to settle down, you need to wake him up. You can complete one task every day. Tasks are updated at 4:30 a.m., and fish for quests need to be caught in all parts of the world (you can read more details in my guide about NPCs).

(I tried to make a table, but it looks so bad that it's better to just give a link).

In addition to everything listed above, there are four more ways to increase your Fishing Power in the game.
Namely, beer, worms, a toilet, and a bucket from a cham-bucket.

So, to maximize fishing power, we need: a fishing spot no less than 300 blocks away, a full moon, rain, a time slot between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., throw a platinum coin into the shimmer and all luck modifiers, while riding a flamingo mount, be in the water (or in an inflatable circle), list of accessories: float, fisherman's earring, fishing tackle, lava-resistant fishing tackle, and 3 other accessories with a horseshoe or coin (7 accessories in total, i.e. on master difficulty with the demon heart activated), full fisherman's outfit, fishing potion, tipsy effect, sit on the toilet, throw a bucket of bait three times at the fishing spot, activate the marmalade worm, use the golden fishing rod, and finally use the Master's Bait (or any golden bait). Voila! Now you are a professional fisherman! As a result, according to my calculations, we get approximately 308 Fishing Power! (You can't sit on the toilet and flamingo at the same time, so choose for yourself).

It took me a long time to write this guide, but I did it so that you wouldn't have to dig through the wiki and everything would be right here, on the surface. Like, share, throw some rewards my way
