How does fishing work?

Players can do a fun fishing mini-game to catch fish or other items from bodies of water in Adventure Academy.

How does fishing work?

Before a player can try and do some fishing, they’ll need to have purchased a Fishing Rod.

Fishing Rods can be purchased at a few shops. One is at Amelie’s Armoire, which is located in the Marketplace. Another is Reel Time, which is located in the Pier. Players can also try buying one in the Grand Marketplace from other players, but please note that the price for one there will vary since the player selling the item can set their own asking price.

For instructions on how to fish, please see the following steps:

1. Navigate to a body of water in the world of Adventure Academy, and search for groups of fish in them.
   • Most fishing spots are located in the Neighborhood, Marketplace, Pier, Clubhouse and Campgrounds.
     
2. Click/tap the group of fish when you find some.
3. A Cast Meter will appear and quickly move between left and right (red to green).
   • This will determine how well the line you’ll cast is.
   • Your cast will be better if it’s to the far right side of the meter (or green).
     
4. Click/tap the Fishing Rod icon to cast your line.
5. After completing the cast, the Fishing Pole icon will be replaced with a Fishing Bobber icon.
   
6. Click/tap the Fishing Bobber icon when the bobber sinks in the icon–that means something’s on the other end of your line!
   • If you wait too long or miss your chance, whatever’s caught on your line will escape and end your fishing.
7. ​A Fishing Reel icon will appear with a Tension Meter once something’s on your line.
8. Click/tap to hold down and release the Fishing Reel icon as needed while paying close attention to the Tension Meter.
   
   • Holding down the Fishing Reel icon will add tension and reel in the line.
   • Releasing the Fishing Reel icon will release tension.
   • Keep the Fish icon in the Tension Meter in the green zone.
     • If it hits the red sections, your fishing line will break and end your fishing will be unsuccessful.

9. After successfully making a catch with your fishing, the item you caught will go to your Inventory.

What kinds of items can I get by fishing?

In general, fishing will allow players to catch fish and other aquatic creatures, nature (like leaves), and maybe even some litter.

Below are some examples of what can be caught:

• Minnow
• Goldfish
• Catfish
• Rubber Ducky
• Heart Shaped Leaf
• …and more!

Keep in mind that different locations will affect what can be caught while fishing.
