Look out for a large shadow in the water near the pier. It’s a bit larger than the Sea Bass that love to show up all the time. You’re not guaranteed to see a Blue Marlin, but we have some tips and tricks to increase your odds of seeing one.

First, if you time travel you may want to head to the pier on a sunny day before 4 PM in December. During this time there will be the least competition between other fish.

If you don’t time travel, make sure you chase away all of the smaller shadow fish from the area. Fishing bait can also be used to spawn the fish more quickly. Again, you can fish at the pier before 4 PM for less competition.

I hope this guide helped teach you how to catch a Blue Marlin in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Good luck!
