#{Archived} Update 2 - Fishing Issues

Platform - PC
Issue: I have the new elixir on my fishing rod but amnt catching any extra fish.
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.
Hey the fishing elixir isn’t going to give you any extra fish. It just turns regular white bubbles into golden ones. It also doesn’t change the blue bubbles but it gives you a higher chance of finding a rare fish.
Thank you!
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.
Looks like the fishing spots are working again
Platform: switch
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
you're supposed to fish for them?! I found one randomly on dazzle beach and that' the only one I've been able to find.
Platform: Switch
Issue: Cannot find kingfish. Blue circles are giving herring.
Platform: windows
Herring show up in both blue and white bubbles on dazzle Beach
Platform: Xbox - need 3 cod for quest. Fished over 100 fish and no cod. Finding herring in gold and blue spots.
Platform: PC
Issue: This one spot in Sunlight Plateau is inaccessible from any spot around the pond (I have tried everywhere)
PC
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.
Platform: PC ~ Unable to catch any fish (kingfish) at night at Dazzle Beach as there are No fishing holes anywhere.
Platform: Windows PC
Issue: Sometimes when fishing the shrinking ring that indicates when it's time to click does not appear, and you have to go solely by the audio cue.
So this happened last night fishing caught some seaweed and can't get rid of it how do I fix it.
Platform: Xbox
Issue: no fishes in any water spot...like theyre all dead everywhere so I cant complete the quest
Platform: PC
Issue: No fishing spots in Sunlit Plateau
Red algae not appearing. I have fished all over the valley with a buddy and haven’t gotten one single red algae. Nothing but the green ones.
Platform: PC
Have not been able to fish for Fugu or Kingfish. After playing and fishing daily for 3 months. Now it's a requirement
I think he's doing it wrong... fishing bug
Platform: PS5
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.
Platform: xbox one series s
Issue: haven't caught a single festive fish.
Platform: Xbox
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: Xbox Series X
I got the curse of the kissing flounder. After doing some unsustainable fishing, the fish gods cursed me to walk the land as a half-fish half-girl henceforth. Moana tried to remove the fish curse but was only rewarded with a flounder kiss.
Platform: PC
Issue: 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.
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?
lol Goofy trying to catch fish off of Moana's fish rack
the talk is they are for another event in the near future 🙂
according to youtube christmas day is when the festive fish and wrapping paper and everything else will come into the game
Platform: Switch and Xbox Game pass fishing issue Fishing spots aren't spawning in any biome at all. Once I fish from the colored circle they're gone and they don't come back. Unable to finish kingfish task as a result.
Platform: Steam
Fishing spots aren’t spawning in any biome
Platform: Xbox pass PC
Issue: fishing rings not appearing after pushing action button to know when to hit action button again, can't do fish flawless because of issue
Platform: PC (steam)
Issue: colours of fishing spots don't seem to matter anymore, caught a few herring in blue spots. kingfish are non-existent.
Platform: Xbox Series X
Weird glitch when fishing. Instead of showing catch it took a long while and then flashed.
Platform: PC (steam)
Festive Fish red & green bubbles appearing in every land except Forgotten Lands.
Platform: PC /Steam
Issue: Red/Green Bubbles not fishable in this spot of Dazzle Beach (the little inlet where the bridge is), character stands like they are fishing but the rod doesn't hook down into the water/nor catch anything
Screenshot/Video: https://gyazo.com/80415f2ecafb70b53d816eb3f3fa3a96
Same on Xbox. For some reason I can't post a picture of the issue but it's exactly the same as this.
Platform: PC (steam)
Issue: No sign of festive anglerfish. I've been fishing in forgotten lands for at least 40mins but the red/green bubble won't spawn. I've gotten the other 4 festive fish without a problem
Same here - Same platform, been fishing both ponds for over an hour.
I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue
***Update and again along the normal beach to the left of Donald's original house spot... seems to be an issue overall since the update.
Platform: PC/Steam - Actually found this issue again just now at the Swamp end of Dazzle beach https://gyazo.com/a59a4ba72aa7eb02731e1a0c8c20826b
Sure arent, I've also had zero signs of festive fugu OR fugu at all on my beach and only the one festive spot that was unfishable
Same here 😔
Platform: Switch ; Issue: No festive anglerfish!

Platform: xbox
Issue: unable to fish the festive spots in forgottenlands
Platform: PC
Holiday fishing bubbles are making my pole immediately pull out but i can fish regular fish all around it
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?
Platform: Switch
Festive Anglerfish not seen, no red/green bubbles in forgotten lands all day. reload and waited and everything. other festive fish are ok
Platform: Switch
Issue: Festive Angler unable to be fished.
Platform: PC

Platform: PC
Issue: No festive anglerfish spawning 🎄

Just caught an festive anglerfish after 6pm
PC player. Trying to fish in Sunlit Plateau, in the back pond. The fishing pole won’t go far enough to reach the middle fishing spot, except if I’m standing in one spot. Kinda ridiculous.
Platform: Switch
Issue: No Festive Anglerfish spawn spot. Caught all the others! (Been fishing for over two hours.)
Platform: Mac Issue: No festive Anglerfish spawn spot.
Platform: Switch
Issue: No Festive Anglerfish spawn spot. Caught all the others, and had red circles with no green in forgotten lands.
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.
Update: Festive Anglerfish bubbles will appear between 6pm-9am
Platform: PC/Steam
Issue: Can't fish here, can cast into it but bobber immediately returns to pole.
ETA: Can cast anywhere else in that river, but not in the circle itself
Platform: PS5
Issue: Fish in all biomes have stopped spawning. I caught most of the festive fish this morning, and then no bubbles anywhere have appeared since.
Platform: PC
Issue: Cant fish in this hole.
Screenshot/Video:
Can't fish the Christmas green and red hole wondering if it's a bug
Christmas festive fishing spot in dazzle Beach has not appeared yet yesterday or today. Got all the other holiday festive fish right away yesterday in the other biomes. Platform: Switch
Platform: PS5
Issue: Fishing spot didn't reappear after fishing. I don't know if it's because the festive fish update that breaks it.
Screenshot/Video:
I have the same issue!
I’m having the same issue with the festive fishing hole on Dazzle Beach. Same spot!
pc as well? @plush prairie @viscid osprey
No, sorry I am on Switch
So its affecting more then one platform
Reload the game, should fix the issue. @plush prairie @ornate mist
I got it while it was raining, didnt work the first reload
Platform: Xbox
Issue: Festive Anglerfish fishing spot not letting me cast to it
yes, PC
Tried it again today, it worked!
Update: after X reloads and revisits the green bubbles did appear on the next day
Platform: Steam (PC)
Issue: Dreamlight Reward for catching different type of fish isn't working
Screenshot/Video:
Switch last night There were bubbles for me to get seasonal fish at beach and another in forgotten lands but every time I cast my fishing pole it went right back to my pole instead of in the water
Has anyone never had a fugu spawn? I’m still missing it and therefore am not spawning the festive bubbles on dazzle beach
Issue: I can see the festive bubbles but ever time I cast my line, it doesn't attach to the bubbles. I can fish around it fine but anytime I hit the festive bubbles directly, nothing. Platform: PC
Platform: Steam
Issue: green and red bubbles placed right on top of rock, makes the fishing spot inaccessible (casting line position is denied)
Platform: Steam/PC
Issue: Fished the green and red ring on Dazzle Beach; caught fish; made the noises that I caught it, but didn't show it as caught per usual; fish wasn't added to my inventory. 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.
Platform: Xbox on PC
Issue: 1) was trying to sell fish from inventory and kept receiving this error - I sold items that weren’t fish after and was able to (see photo)
2) unfishable blue bubble on dazzle beach (see video)
Platform: switch
no fishing holes on dazzle beach
Same issue in same spot.
PS5 - festive fish bubbles are no longer appearing. They appeared day 1 and then I never saw them again. I never saw the angler and figured ones spawn.
*fugu
Is anyone else having issues with no fish spawning at all after you fish in that spot on the ps5??
Ok fugu and angler festive fish appear after 6pm
Platform: pc
Issue: Trying to fish the festive bubbles on dazzel beach. Hook will not stay in the water. Works in the areas outside the bubbles but not inside the bubbles.
Platform: Playstation 4
Issue : lost inventory
I have an issue regarding the festive fish. I collected all 5 festive fish and stored them in a chest. When I loaded up the game again, the festive squid disappeared from my chest and ever since the festive bubbles don't seem to be popping up anywhere in the game anymore
I’m having the same problem but with switch
same issue here, also on PC
Same issue on switch.
NPCs keep fishing on... sand.
Same here on the switch
no chrismas fishing spawn in the forgotten lands nor at the beach, platform pc
It hasn't rained since the festive fish showed up so I can get the fugu one
Platform: Switch
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?
Platform: switch
Issue: unable to collect fish from moana, no matter how many times i select it she doesn’t appear and nothing happens
Platform: PC
Issue: The last Festive Fish on the beach won't spawn. I've been trying all week. I moved all the islands and Donald's boat and cleared all the fishing spots but got nothing. ...I really want that hat lol
Edit: It heard me complain. Ursula swam over and it showed up. Got my hat. Love it!
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
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.
Glad you posted this. I thought I just had bad luck! I never can get Fugu either. I am thinking of trying the new fishing potion. I also didnt know there was a raining trick...
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: Steam Deck
Issue: on Anna quest: The Spirits of Nature unable to fish in the pond. After each cast, fishing rod returns to standing position and does not remain in the water.
Video included.
Hey! Did you ever get it figured out? My friend is also having this issue and is getting frustrated but I don’t play on the switch so I’m not sure how to assist her
Platform: XBOX
Issue: When trying to fish for the festive fish it won’t let my friend. They cast it but then nothing happens. The rod just resets basically.
Platform: Xbox
Issue: Cannot catch this fish in the Sunlit Plateau. No matter where I stand I can’t get it
Had this issue yesterday on PS4. Once I restarted the game it was fixed and I was able to catch the fish there.
I restarted it too but then a few catches later it appeared in the same position
Platform: switch
Issue: Can't sell more than one fish at a time, I keep getting an error
Might be related to mouse settings. That happened to me on my pc and after resetting my mouse it was fine. I haven't had it happen on my deck but thought I'd mention it
Thanks for the tip! I’ll try resetting the hardware (deck itself). I’d restarted the game a couple times but it didn’t occur to me to restart the hardware, maybe that’ll work!
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.
Platform: PC
Issue: I have not been able to fish a festive salmon no matters how much time I spend at sunlit plateau.
Platform: Steam
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.
Hey, it’s raining in my game and the festive fugu is still not spawning - it’s the only one I need and I’d really like to complete the task
Never got it to work. I dont even get the red and green bubbles any more either.
I have this same problem
Platform: pc
Festive fishing spot not appearing on dazzle beach.
I'm having this same issue also on PC and have been trying for days. I've even tried for the Forgotten Lands fish at night and I always fish on Dazzle Beach during rain cycles and nothing.
Platform: switch
Issue: when I go to moana's boat for fish, it won't let me select browse. It just stays on that screen and won't tell me what fish Moana got for me
Platform: steam
Issue: can you catch more than one glittering herring? Used mine in wrong recipe…now I’m stuck and can’t complete quest.
Platform: Switch
Issue: Has not rained since the 18th update and so I can't get any festive Fugu or fugu in general because no rain.
Platform: Steam
Issue: impossible to fish these festive bubbles, fishing animation gets cancelled the moment it hits
Nintendo Switch:
There are no fish bubbles anywhere for finding Cod fish
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 🤷🏻♀️
Same for me. Playing on switch
I found it was because the bubbles spawned outside the time u can catch that fish
Platform: Switch
I try to collect fish from moana's fishing boat and no matter how many times I press A it won't do anything
I have problems finding fugu fish never appeared in rainy days in dazzle beach, i have few of them when I started playing the game but never again so I can’t complete the recipes or food requests from the villagers.
just happened same platform
Platform: Switch
Issue: Dazzle Beach fish pools not respawning. Also, getting the wrong fish from the pools. Shrimp from white, herring from blue and gold, etc.
Frosted Heights is the only biome that never spawns gold ripples when I start up my game.
Holiday Fugu will not spawn. Rain won't do it, moving all the houses elsewhere won't do it. I can't finish the quest!
Platform: PC/Steam
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. 
Platform xbox. Only getting white fishing spots in certain biomes, and occassionally a blue fishing spots. but the gold fishing spots are not showing up as frequent. dazzle beach and frosted hieghts are the more prominant areas for this issue.
Platform: Xbox series X
Issue: I was doing the "Burying an eel" quest for Maui. When I caught the Eel my game glitched and it disappeared. My fish trap is no longer baited and despite fishing in the same area for days. I haven't caught any more eels. I can't complete this quest for Maui and I feel like my progress is halted. I sent in a report but nothing back.
Platform: Switch
No blue bubbles are spawning kingfish on dazzle beach! Shrimp only
dont know why the glittiering harring not getting fixed i mean i know for sure i never cought and ive been doing it all right followed all the instructions but yet that part of the game not getting fixed dont know why but honestly i gave up whats the bother if the people who own or code the game not fix this problem so meny fixes yet they do not fix this issue that i know a whole lot have this problem also the bubbles circles do not always come back so its not easy to catch or try again once i fish in the circle it does not show for a long while please at least program to have at least more then just one bubble in the glide eather way still love the game even if its still in early accest but for now till the problem gets fix im just gonna ignore the elsa final task......!!
Demongirl…I’m having the same problem with the Elsa quest… I caught one glittering herring but I missed up the recipe….spending weeding trying to catch another one…
unfortanally it might not be possable since we only have one chance hopefully the developers give us a chance to catch another if not just give us one
Platform: Steam
Issue: bubbles unreachable from anywhere around the pond
Platform; pc/steam
Issue: Red algae has gone extinct suddenly. Used to get it somewhat, now nothing in days. I fished over 70 fish and none popped out. same yeasterday and day before that.
Platform: Xbox; Issue: Only blue fishing spots found in the Glade of Trust, fished all spots multiple times and no white or gold fishing spots ever spawn in. Relying on Moana for any and all Lobster she catches for the crocodile critters.
Platform: PC
Issue: There is no where of any spot to spawn Chrismas Fishes. I cant do the Quest.
I think the festive fish bubbles are not available anymore
Platform- PC
Issue: Added elixir to my fishing rod the day it was released, as well as other tools. The other tools wore off over time like they were supposed to but my fishing rod never has- I’ve never re-applied elixir but I’ve had a permanently juiced-up fishing rod for about a month now.
Platform : PC
Issue : For a week I have no fishing spots in peaceful meadow, forgotten lands and dazzle beach
platform: switch and PC
issue: I don't have fish in the whole valley, litterally, once you fish, even if I spend hours playing hopping the fish respawn back, it doesn't.
Is there any update on a glittering herring fix? I mean at this point is starting to feel like the devs simply do not care
Platform: Xbox
Issue: Orange fish spawn rates in Frosted Heights. I've been playing for over an hour and I'm sure I should have gotten at least one by now and nothing. Every other orange fish spawn doesn't take this damn long to pop. Frosted Heights takes too long. I get they're rare but geez I shouldn't have to play for almost 2 hrs to get one. When they don't take that long in other zones.
Platform: PS5
Issue: Characters facing backwards when fishing on Dazzle Beach and/or while talking to my character.
Platform: Switch
Issue: On Moana's boat, when she says to catch the fish, my rod will not cast. It casts fine in all other instances, just not from Moans's boat.
Anyone having issues with oysters not spawning? It’s been almost 2 weeks since I’ve had an oyster spot on.
