Tips for Winning Fishing Contests

  • Bring multiple bait types. Some contests require switching bait mid-round.
  • Aim for bigger fish. Size sometimes counts more than quantity.
  • Upgrade your fishing rod if you struggle with stability.
  • Position yourself well. Move slightly along the riverbank to find active fish zones.
  • Don’t spam the reel key. Smooth, controlled reeling helps maintain the green zone longer.
  • Use buffs. Some food or elixir buffs improve stamina and fishing efficiency.
