Once the bait has been selected, you will see it hanging from the end of your hook. Check out our comprehensive fishing spots and bait guide for a breakdown of what you need for each fish type! As for equipping bait on your hook, the process is similar to getting your rod out. The bait you should use depends on the type of fish you want to catch. There are three types of bait to use in Sea of Thieves: earthworms, grubs, and leeches. With the fishing rod in hand, you can now either cast out and begin fishing or put bait on the end to catch specific fish. Ideally, you will have already chosen a fishing spot. If you’re just looking to cast out a line and have some fun, then you can fish wherever you please.īefore you can go fishing, you will first need to equip your fishing rod.

Picking the right place to fish will depend on what type of fish you want to catch. It’s also possible to fish off the back of your ship while it’s moving. You can fish at the outpost you spawn at, along the shoreline of smaller islands, even in any ponds you find on larger islands. You can fish just about anywhere there’s water in Sea of Thieves. Beyond just casting a line, you will also need to know what bait to use to attract each type of fish and where to sell any fish you do manage to snag. Going for a fishing trip is incredibly easy, but the trick is learning how the rod and reel mechanics work.

Players can now go fishing in Sea of Thieves thanks to the Anniversary Update.
