How to Fish in My Time at Sandrock

Welcome, fellow adventurers, to the unique and exciting world of fishing in My Time at Sandrock! As you explore the charming town of Sandrock and uncover its secrets, you'll quickly discover that fishing plays a vital role in the game. In this guide, we will take you through the ins and outs of fishing, from building your very own Sandfish Trap to selecting the right bait and improving your fishing skills. So grab your fishing rod and let's dive in!

One of the first things you'll want to do as an aspiring angler is to build your own Sandfish Trap. Fortunately, the main fishing spot is conveniently located directly east of your home, making it easily accessible. To construct the Sandfish Trap, you will need 2 Copper Bars, 2 Wooden Sticks, and 1 Thick Rope. These materials can be obtained through gathering and crafting or purchased from the local shops in Sandrock.

Once you have gathered the necessary materials, it's time to put them together. Simply go into your crafting menu and select the Sandfish Trap blueprint. Follow the step-by-step instructions, placing each material in its designated spot. Once the trap is complete, it will be automatically placed in the fishing spot east of your home. Now you have your very own fishing trap ready to catch some fish!

Building a Sandfish Trap is not only convenient but also highly effective. Instead of spending hours casting your fishing rod and waiting for a bite, the trap does the work for you. All you have to do is check on the trap periodically and collect the fish it has caught. This saves valuable time and allows you to focus on other aspects of the game, such as farming or building relationships with the townsfolk.

Now that you have your Sandfish Trap set up, it's time to select the right bait to attract the fish. To do this, interact with the fish sign located near the trap. A toolbar will appear, showing the available bait options. In the beginning, you will have access to basic bait types, such as Worms and Insects. As you progress in the game and unlock new areas, you will discover more advanced bait options that can attract larger and rarer fish.

Experimentation is key when it comes to bait selection. Different fish have different preferences, so it's essential to pay attention to their behavior and adjust your bait accordingly. Some fish may be attracted to worms, while others may prefer insects or even specific types of bait that can be crafted or purchased from the local shops. Don't be afraid to try out different combinations and see what works best for you.

As you spend more time fishing in Sandrock, you will notice that your fishing skills naturally improve. However, there is also a dedicated skill menu called Gathering that offers three levels of progression specifically for avid fishermen. Each level provides unique benefits that enhance your fishing experience.

Level 1 of the Gathering skill menu reduces the stamina consumption of the Sandfish Trap, allowing it to operate for longer periods without needing intervention. This is especially useful when you're busy with other tasks and can't constantly check on the trap.

Level 2 increases the probability of fish being attracted to your bait. This means you'll have a higher chance of catching rare and valuable fish, making your fishing trips even more rewarding.

Level 3 of the Gathering skill menu reduces the stamina consumption of the Sandfish Trap even further. With this level unlocked, you'll be able to operate the trap for extended periods without worrying about stamina depletion.
