Len’s Island Guide to Fishing Mechanics

You cannot fish in any random body of water. First you want to find a body of water with a circle visual representing the movement of fish.

Equip the Wooden Fishing Pole and click on the circled fishing spot in the water to cast your rod.

Fishing Circle & Casting

Periodically a white circle will appear on your screen. When you see the white circle click on your controller or mouse. From time to time you may see a red circle. Do not click when you see the red circles of you will fail your cast. Eventually after successfully hitting the white circles correctly you will catch the fish.

Angler Fish Catch

Keep in mind, more rarer fish such as the Swordfish or Angler Fish will be more challenging to catch.
