Dinkum Fishing Guide: How to Catch Fish
Farming and catching butterflies aren’t the only activities in Dinkum. you may also pick up a fishing rod, locate the nearest river and start living off the land. It’s a great way to make Dinks. But of course, like many aspects of Dinkum, you need a license. Here’s an in-depth guide onhow to catch fishin Dinkum.
to start catching fish, you’ll need two items (other than fish): a Fishing License and Fishing Rod. Both are outside your reach when you first start inDinkum, so you’ll have to do a bit of work in order to obtain both.
How to Get a Fishing License and Fishing Rod
To obtain a Fishing License and Fishing Rod, the two visitors you should be worried about are Fletch and John. Fletch will sell you a Fishing License; John has Fishing Rods for sale. However, both require a specific currency—Permit Points and Dinks, respectively.
Permit Points are awarded for completing Milestones. These are often completed just from playing the game, like catching a specific number of bugs, but you can always focus on completing said Milestones to earn Permit Points faster. Dinks is the game’s currency, which you can earn pretty quickly early on by just selling Seashells.
How to Fish in Dinkum & How It Works
With your Fishing License and Fishing Rod, you are now allowed to fish in Dinkum as well as engage in the fishing mechanic. So, equip your Fishing Rod and head to the nearest body of water, preferably one that’s large.
Holding in the left mouse button increases the distance the line travels.
Fish will nibble at the bait a few times before completely submerging the bait. That’s your time to reel in your fish.
Dinkum’s fishing minigame is like a tug of war. Once a fish has taken the bait, they’ll battle against your line. Don’t attempt to reel them in otherwise, the health of your Fishing Rod will deteriorate, and the line snaps. Let the fish swim away, tire itself out, and then reel in again.
