Starsand Island Fishing Guide

Unlock fishing by starting the Angler profession quest line, then cast toward visible fish shadows and manage line tension while reeling. Fish availability can depend on water, season, weather, and time, so a correct location alone may not be enough. Bait creates shadows, nets collect groups of lower-rarity fish, and King fish still require a rod.
