The photos show my inventory with 6 white sturgeon. I caught one and my buddy gave me one. So I have two more giving me 8 total.
No extras due to the elixir.

Platform: PS5
Issue: Was fishing fine all day, but just now all the fishing spots disappeared and they don’t seem to be respawning. It happened while I was finishing tasks for The Astronomy Club and The Club Renewal. Not sure if it’s related, but I went into Remy’s just now and all the furniture is gone and the customers are just standing on top of each other.

Seems the ratio of catching herring has gone up. Catching anything else like cod or kingfish has become arduous. Two cod and two kingfish in 2+ hours of fishing. Also finding herring in the white and the blue circles. Am appreciating the higher count of shrimp. Herring not so.

Platform: PS5
Issue: the ring colors are no longer accurate to the drop. Unsure if applicable to all villages, but in Dazzle Beach I am certain shrimp are blue rings, not white. There was a blue ring for an herring (in Dazzle & Glade) which I’m certain are white ring drops.

Platform: Switch
Issue: red algae: fished with buddy all locations over 4 hours; only found one. Don’t think it’s supposed to be that rare.

Platform: PC
Issue: caught 4 kingfish fairly easily. I’ve now caught over 100 fish at the beach and no sign of a kingfish- blue spots are giving me herring

Not getting any kingfish from dazzle beach even after using a fishing potion Friend told me kingfish are after 7pm from blue bubbles, not orange. If this is true, can we get times listed for fish like the critter schedules please.

Also. On a crit fish Splosion They gave me herring on the ground instead of something from the orange dropped fish while under the effects of the fishing potion.

#

Platform: Switch. Catching Kingfish is impossible even with new potion. I’ve been fishing for 8 hours and haven’t found a single one. All orange bubbles are giving swordfish only. Blue bubbles are giving shrimp and herring. Even fishing with a buddy will not help generate kingfish.

Issue(?): The lake in Sunlit Plateau has a fishing spot that is dead center and is very difficult to access unless in a very, very accurate spot. I also find it strange that this huge lake only allows 1 ring per spawn.

Kingfish are not spawning, despite fishing for hours, including at night, at dazzle beach. I now have a lot of shrimp, and no kingfish.

#

Platform: switch
Issue: only 2 of my fishing spots on dazzle beach are respawning. 1 is by the entrance to the glade/rocks, the other is at the bottom of the stairs on the left. The rest haven't respawned in almost 40 minutes. My meadow was also slow to respawn, but not like this

#

Platform: Switch
Issue: Fishing spots are not respawning in any biome. Also, Kingfish are not appearing. Orange spots give Swordfish only, blue spots are giving Shrimp and Herrings, and white spots are giving mostly Herring with a random Cod at times. Also I have found no Fugu in my game at all when fishing in rain and thunderstorms since the launch.

Platform: Nintendo Switch
Issue: I’m not sure if this has happened to anyone else but ever since the new update I haven’t seen a single festive fish. Ive gotten on every day since the update and have went to different areas trying to find them or even tried catching all the fish in that area to try and get a festive fish. Is there something I’m missing on my end? Do they come at a certain time or do you need something to obtain them?

Platform: PC/Steam
Issue: No festive angler fish spawning. I tried it from my local time at about 10.00 until now 15.46, various times. If I get a red circle for the angler, it's only for the normal one - no red/green circle. The other 4 festive fish were no problem. I restarted game several times, even verified game files, didn't help. Update: I finally caught one at 18.03 (6.03 pm) my local time. So is the normal angler a day fish, the festive one a sneaky night one?

Plastform: PC/Epic gaming.
Issue: No angelfish here either. Have tried fishing in regular fishing spots, blue spots, gold spots to see if it spawns in those spots randomly and it was glitched and they "forgot" to change colors to red and green. No such luck. I'm able to get all other festive fish but this one in Forgotten Lands.
ETA: I was able to get my angelfish later in the night.

The counter on the 'duty' didn't advance. Hoping I'll get another ring to fish, but if not I won't be able to complete my festive fish collection. I have all of them except the Fugu.

Hello happy holidays. I have been trying to find and catch festive fish. Unfortunately I have not had any spawn in on my island since day one when i caught a festive salmon. But then next day when i logged in, it had disappeared. Is this a known issue?

I finally saw some red and green bubbles today. When I tried to fish them it never worked. my rod would just go back to a normal standing position. I am able to catch and fish all the other holes. Just having issues with the christmas ones. I am on the switch

dapper copper
#

Platform: PS4
Issue: No Fugu are spawning at all. It is the only fish I do not have. (I am not talking about the festive one, I got that already) I have caught every other fish but no matter how much I fish on dazzle beach while it’s raining (been days now) I get nothing. Plenty of sword fish, but not a single fugu since I unlocked the biome days ago. I have even tried using the potion and still nothing. Hours upon hours spent at the beach trying to catch fugu to complete my inventory and recipes.

The fugu only shows up on dazzle beach when it rains. No other time. Hopefully it shows up soon. It’s very frustrating having things incomplete.

Platform: Nintendo Switch

Issue: When trying to fish for a festive fish in Dazzle Beach, the fishing rod doesn't work. Once I throw the line into the water, the line glitches back to the rod as if I never threw it (yet my character still poses as if they are fishing until I move them around). So I am unable to fish for it. I tested other bubbles and in normal nonbubbly water and the rod works as normal, but for the green and red bubbles in Dazzle Beach, it does not. And it's the last festive fish I need to get, the other 4 I gotten all in 1 day a few days ago.

Issue: Can’t fish the festive fugu. It has only appeared once and it was doing like everyone else in this thread where you throw the rod but then it won’t stay in the water or let you catch it. Also, the festive fugu is the only left I need to complete the duty and it hasn’t spawned anymore since that first day the others appeared. Regular fugu have also not been spawning at all for more than week or two now.

Platform - Xbox Series X
Issue - I’ve been trying to catch the festive Fugu for many days now and it hasn’t rained once in my game for weeks, and I’m assuming that the option to catch them will disappear once the event ends (could be wrong).

Is there some reason it used to rain regularly in my game and now it hardly ever does? A bug or just really bad luck 🤷🏻‍♀️

Platform Switch: Issue: Dazzle Beach not spawning Festive Fugo fish. I have played since the Fish released prior to the holiday, I managed to collect all fish in one night except for the Fugo one. It has rained 3 times today in my game (I've played for 4+ hours) no festive fish circle in any water. I have restarted my game, confirmed it is up to date, and fished all spots in hopes clearing them would help to spawn the festive circle. Nothing so far. I have 29/30 fish, it's the only one I am missing. SadBbyYoda
