1. A complete guide to the charms and basic preparations of dinkum fishing

Dinkum Fishing is designed as a realistic mini-game. The tension-filled operation from casting to reeling is appealing. If you are successful, you will receive a high reward. Even if you fail, you will definitely improve with practice. Fishing requires little stamina, can be used late at night or in the rain, and can be done concurrently with other activities.

First, we will explain step by step the necessary preparations to start fishing.

Procedures for obtaining a fishing license

You need a fishing license to start fishing. Talk to Fletch in the base tent. Select “Apply for License”.

• Fishing license Lv1: Can be obtained with 250 permit points. You can apply from the second day of the game. You can now purchase fishing rods and start fishing.
• Fishing License Lv2: Obtained with 1000 permit points after reaching fishing skill level 10. Bubbles in the water will become visible. Copper fishing rods can now be crafted.
• Fishing License Lv3: Obtained with 3000 permit points after reaching fishing skill level 20. Crab cage crafting and iron fishing rods will be unlocked. It will also be possible to utilize fish ponds.

Permit points are earned by completing milestones and quests. Get your license Lv1 as your top priority.

Obtaining and types of fishing rods

After getting your license, purchase your fishing rod at John's Goods. Limited to 1 bottle per day for 1260 Dink. Since the durability value is low, it is safe to secure multiple copies.

• Basic fishing rod: For early stages only. Reel speed is standard. Durability is low.
• Copper Fishing Rod: Crafting is unlocked at Fishing Lv5. Increases reel speed. This makes it easier to handle large objects.
• Iron fishing rod: Can be crafted with a Lv3 license. It has maximum speed and excellent durability. Great for sharks and lungfish.

Upgrades increase reel speed. Reduces stamina consumption. The heavy duty version may be sold for 4400 dinks on event days.

Selection of optimal fishing spot

• Sea: Northern and southern coasts. High-value fish such as yellowfin tuna will appear.
• River/Billabong: An inland stagnant body of water. You can often catch lungfish.
• Mangrove: A tropical area. You can aim for lionfish.
• Underground lake: Inside the mine. Deep-sea fish appear all year round.
• Southern and Southern Arctic Oceans: Cold region. Marlin and barracuda will appear. Measures against the cold are required.

Look for fish shadows. Place the rod in your tool belt and start fishing. The Fish Book (purchased at Fishing Lv5) identifies unknown fish. This is a useful item that displays the appearance conditions.

2. Perfect casting and how to identify fish shadows

The first barrier to fishing is casting. By dropping the lure accurately on the fish's shadow, the bite rate will dramatically improve. To cast, press and hold left click to charge. Short for short distance, long press for long distance. The basic trick is to drop it behind the shadow of the fish. Make a splash to attract the fish's attention. Rotate the camera to check the movement of the fish and make adjustments.

Points for identifying fish shadows

• Small fish: Many are found in shallow water, and are easy to catch with repeated strikes.
• Big fish: They are common in deep waters and are violent.
• Rainy weather: The number of fish increases dramatically. Aim for priority.
• Night: The appearance rate of rare fish increases. Bring a lantern.

As a practice method, repeat the cast 100 times in the early sea. Stable fishing will be possible if you aim for a 90% hit rate. Bubbles (after obtaining Lv2 license) indicate schools of fish. Efficiency is greatly improved.

3. Hit timing so you don't miss the bite moment

After casting, the float will shake a few times and then sink completely. The sound “Thunk!” will sound. At this moment, immediately left click to hook. The grace period is only about 0.5 seconds. It is safe to adjust the timing by relying on the sound.

failure pattern

• Too early: You will miss the shot.
• Too late: the fish will run away.

If you cast close to the fish shadow, the bite will be faster. The success rate will increase. Practice and get your ears used to it.

4. Tree mini game gauge management and reeling secrets

When hit, a treet gauge will appear. When the fish goes wild (splash), the gauge decreases. When it turns red, the line will break.

• While the fish are running wild: Never reel and wait quietly.
• While the fish are quiet: left click and hold to reel.

If you can pull it all the way to your feet, you'll be successful. The key to gauge management is the quality of the rod, which increases its durability. Fishing skill 75 optimizes stamina consumption. Big fish can be conquered in 5 to 10 cycles while waiting for silence.

5. Super easy techniques and practices for beginners

Beginners should start with small fish in shallow water. If you reel by pressing the button repeatedly, you can ignore the rampage and catch the fish quickly. The success rate is over 95%.

Recommended practice routine

1. Catch 50 fish in the shallows of the sea.
2. Target medium-sized fish in the billabong on rainy days.
3. Try your hand at deep-sea fishing in an underground lake.

If you repeat this, you will be able to master the basic operations completely. Sharks can be killed without dropping items by hunting them after being stunned.
