Wouldn't that be cool? To catch a ghost fish and then cook it over the Flame of Fate and eat it? As a ghost? I think so. You definitely can't fish off the side of the ferry of the dead. Considering this all goes into your food inventory, you might want to put your current load of food in your ship's storage before taking the plunge. Shipwreck barrels are also good spot to find shark meat (and other cookable foods like snake, pork, and chicken) which you can sell at Seaposts. Inside you'll often find a few fish, sometimes even cooked ones (and often overcooked). While you're exploring shipwrecks for treasure, don't forget to search the ship's barrels. You can even collect fish without using a rod. You aren't guaranteed to catch a battlegill every time, but at least you aren't risking your neck and you can see you don't need to be right alongside a skelly ship to make this fish appear. That will give you enough time to fish for the battlegill, and the ship won't shoot at you. Once the fish is done, you can remove it from the pan and eat it. I found it helpful to take out my looking glass (even though I'm standing right in front of the pan) and watch the fish's eyes turn white. Its pupils will gradually turn completely white. Other indicators of cooked fish are the fish's eyes. Depending on the light quality, it can be a bit hard to tell when it's cooked just right, but the fish will gradually lose its natural color and turn white (which makes them undercooked), and then brown (cooked). Take it out too early and there's a chance it'll give you food poisoning (you'll barf). You'll have to keep an eye on your fish while it's cooking: there's not meter or UI element to tell you when it's done. Just approach the pan with a fish in your hand and use the prompt to start cooking. And you'll also find frying pans on most islands, including Outposts, sitting over small campfires. There's now a stove and skillet below decks in every pirate ship for cooking. Now that you've got a fish, you can cook and eat it. Repeat this cycle a few times and eventually you'll have a fish! 5. When the fish wakes up and starts splashing again, stop reeling and go back to countering its movements until it tires again. Your line will go slack, and at that point, you can hold left click to start reeling it in (you can reel a little while it's struggling, but too much and your line breaks). You'll know you're holding the wrong key or pulling in the wrong direction if your rod starts to creak and tremble.Įventually, the fish will get tired of struggling and stop splashing for a few moments. You can also move the mouse to swing your rod in various directions. If the fish is going away from you, hold S. Use the ASD keys to counter its left, right, or forward (away from you) movements. When the fish is struggling, which it will right away, you'll see lots of splashing around it. Once a fish has bitten, don't hold the left mouse button to start reeling it in right away. Don't click the bait or you'll just cast your line without baiting your hook. Re-open the inventory and press R, then hover over the type of bait you want to use (grubs, leeches, or worms) and take your finger off of R to let the menu close. If you want to use bait, pull out your fishing rod from the radial inventory. You don't need baitīait can help you catch certain kinds of fish in certain areas, but you can cast without bait and still catch a fish.
