Core Keeper Fishing Guide - How to Fish

Fishing is fairly straightforward in Core Keeper. First, you'll need to get a Fishing Rod. If you can't find one, you'll have to upgrade to the Tin Tier by exploring The Clay Caves biome and mining some Tin. Once you have a Fishing Rod, you'll simply need to look for blue sparkles over water with fish underneath it; this is where you'll have to land your bobber.

Fish spawns will give you different fish depending on which biome you're in. Keep in mind that they don't last forever; eventually, they'll run out of fish and you'll have to move somewhere else.

I strongly recommend that you pay attention to the sound. The noises you hear combined with the on-screen cues will help you quickly learn the pattern of a particular fish. Once you catch a fish, you can choose to eat it raw, cook it, or sell it.

Fishing is simply a matter of casting your rod and pulling it back in when you see an exclamation mark. You can increase your odds by crafting bait (or purchasing it from the Fishing Merchant) and equipping it in your off-hand; this mechanic is also needed to summon the boss Morpha in The Sunken Sea, albeit with a unique bait item crafted at the Ancient Hologram.

There used to be a fishing minigame, but it was removed in the 1.0 update and it will return at a later time after it has been refined.

Core Keeper Fishing Guide - List of Fish

I'll wrap this Core Keeper Fishing Guide with a list of all of the fish I've found in the game. Bear in mind that this list doesn't include every possible fish — some of them are very rare and have a fairly low chance of appearing.
