Fishing Festival (SI)

The Fishing Festival is a festival in Harvest Moon DS: Sunshine Islands.

A yearly festival organized by Denny that takes place on Summer 23 between 10am and 5:50pm. You can participate as long as you have a fishing rod and are able to catch your own fish. Alternatively, you can ask the Ducks that live on Animal Island to find fish for you a day BEFORE the festival.

You can either bring a fish with you to the festival, or you can catch fish on Meadow Island once you arrive for the festival. Time does not pass while attending festivals, so it is a good opportunity to catch something right at the festival. Remember that you cannot save your game while at a festival, however, so watch your stamina to ensure you don't over-do it and faint.

Hold a fish that you want entered in your hands while speaking to Denny to have that fish entered into the competition. A winning fish must be very fresh (7.5 points of freshness or greater ) and must also be a Large fish. Not just any Large fish will do, however, as the size and quality of the fish also has some impact on whether or not the fish will win.

Winning first place will grant a Wonderful, 1000 fishing degree points and 700 friendship points for all the villagers in attendance. If you place second, third or fourth you will only receive Wonderful Pieces.
