How to catch fish in Starsand Island
To catch fish, you’ll need to get a permit. To get the permit, speak with the Fishing Mentor at the AquaBlue Outpost. Then meet Marston at the broken port and help rebuild it. This completes the Starsand Port Construction quest.
Next, take a yacht on rent and find a water body. Once you reach the ripple, tap and hold the fishing rod icon to aim. The line gets cast once you let go of the button. Now, wait for the fish to take a bite. The minigame is simple: reel in when it turns white and let go when it turns red. Keep doing so until the fish is caught.
