It's challenging to fish for the Slimejack, as the Mutant Flies inside the Mutant Bug Lair will continuously spawn and attack the player while fishing. To avoid this, fish right at the entrance before any bugs are triggered.

In the submarine ride at the Night Market, there is a 10% chance to hook a Blobfish (20% if using a Curiosity Lure). If using Magic Bait in the southwest corner of the beach, there is a 3.3% chance to hook a Blobfish (10.2% if using a Curiosity Lure).^[1]

The Blobfish and the Pufferfish are the only fishing rod fishes that have a "floater" behavior in the fishing mini-game.

The special requirements necessary to hook an Angler are:^[1]

• Fishing level 3, either naturally or using Fishing Buffs.

• The player must be standing at the northernmost end of the river (within 15 tiles of the map edge). This includes the wooden plank bridge, all shoreline north of the bridge, as well as the shoreline up to three tiles south of the wood bridge.

• There is no Fishing Zone requirement; the bobber can be located anywhere in the river as long as the player is standing in a valid location.

When all of these requirements are met, each cast has a 20% chance of hooking an Angler (25% if using a Curiosity Lure).

The special requirements necessary to hook a Legend are:^[1]

• Fishing level 10, either naturally or using Fishing Buffs.

• The bobber must be located in water with a Fishing Zone of 5, i.e., it must be at least five tiles away from any land (including bridges) in every direction.

  • The Legend can appear one tile closer to land (Zone=3) if the bobber lands in bubbles.

The special requirements necessary to hook a Glacierfish are:^[1]

• Fishing level 6, either naturally or using Fishing Buffs.

• The player must be standing on one specific tile: the one at the southernmost tip of Arrowhead Island. This exact location is revealed in Secrets of the Legendary Fish.

• The bobber must be located in water with a Fishing Zone of at least 3, i.e., it must be at least four tiles away from any land in every direction.

  • The Glacierfish can appear one tile closer to land (Zone=2) if the bobber lands in Bubbles.

There are no special requirements necessary to hook a Mutant Carp; every cast in the sewers has a 10% chance of hooking one (20% chance if using a Curiosity Lure).^[1]

Although the Mutant Carp cannot be hooked again after it is caught, it is possible to obtain multiple Mutant Carp (per player) by using Challenge Bait to catch it.
