Fishing (Dor)

Fishing is a gameplay feature in Doraemon: Story of Seasons.

There are many variants of fish you can catch depending on the season and weather. You can buy fish bait at Sandy's Tackle Shop to increase the chance to catch rare fish. Occasionally your bait will get snagged rather than spawning a fish, and you will get an item like Building Stone, Weed, Wood, or Groundbait/Fine Groundbait or Gems (Splosh Lake and Land Fishing Rod only).

'''When you go fishing in an area, fish will only spawn 3 times. To reset it, you must nap.'''

'''For the sake of efficiency, half hour (30 min) naps are recommended. For example: If you nap at 10:25, you will wake up at 11, but if you try to nap at 10:31, you will wake up at 12.'''

=Fish Info= Some fish require specific weather (very rare and quickly disappears) in order to be caught. If it's been a long time, it is easier to use Land Fishing Rod instead.

Land Fishing Rod is one of Doraemon's gadgets you can buy from Koropokkur using 200 Junk, it allows you to fish on land anywhere anytime. It has a chance to snag gems.
