How to Fish Game money and trick-shot guide

Cash in Dazed Games' How to Fish game funds the equipment that keeps a run moving: SMGs for Piranhas, faster engines for open water, and attachments for later bosses.

Regular catches provide steady income, while cooking, killscore bonuses, later-island fish, and Drip variants change the return. Use this route for making money in How to Fish without confusing cosmetic gambling with dependable profit.

1. Inspect Every Catch Before Selling

Press F while holding a catch to view its value, weight, cooking status, and killscore information. This readout is more reliable than a fixed online price table because catches and multipliers vary.

• Raw value: Record the inspected price before deciding whether to cook or sell.
• Quest check: Keep named boss drops and NPC-requested creatures out of the sale pile.
• Drip check: A rainbow-colored name marks a Drip creature, which can be sold or spent at the Reel of Fortune.

2. Cook Saleable Creatures for 1.5x Value

Once the grill is unlocked on Island 3, a properly cooked creature sells for 1.5 times its raw value:

1. Inspect the raw catch with F and note the displayed value.
2. Place only sellable creatures on the grill.
3. Remove the catch when it reaches the cooked state.
4. Inspect it again to verify the 1.5x result, then sell it.

Do not cook NPC request items, named boss drops, or a Drip creature you plan to use in the Reel of Fortune.

3. Raise Killscore with Trick Shots

Combat finishes can raise a creature's killscore and therefore its sale value. A 360 no-scope is one recognizable route:

• Let a suitable creature become airborne.
• Complete a full 360-degree camera rotation.
• Land the finishing shot without aiming down sights.
• Inspect the result with F instead of assuming a fixed multiplier.

The “360 no scope” achievement records the trick shot, while “Impressive” is tied to reaching a 5x score multiplier.

4. Decide Whether to Sell or Spin a Drip Creature

A Drip creature is identified by its rainbow-colored name. It creates a real trade-off:

• Sell it: Keep the creature's inspected value and any applicable cooking or killscore return.
• Use the Reel of Fortune: Consume the Drip creature for a random cosmetic weapon or rod skin.
• Legendary result: A legendary cosmetic result unlocks “GOLD GOLD GOLD.”

5. Treat Roulette as an Achievement Attempt

Roulette can pay out, but it is not a repeatable profit guarantee. Winning on green unlocks “All in”; losing removes the stake. Buy story-critical gear first and take only surplus money to the table.

A practical spending order is:

1. Required bait and ammunition for the current objective.
2. A dependable weapon and useful attachments.
3. Boat or rod upgrades that remove a current progression bottleneck.
4. Roulette attempts and cosmetic Reel of Fortune spins.
