These little wrigglers are the key to attracting this slimy delight. The good news? Oily Anchovies are active throughout the entire day, so you have ample chances to snag one. With the bait in your inventory, equip your Fishing Rod, then equip the bait, set your cast’s distance by holding the left mouse button, and release to land your bobber. Three bobs and a splash signal a fish’s bite; set the hook by clicking when the fish jumps. The fishing minigame commences, testing your skills at reeling. Aim the reticle over the bobber, hold the left mouse button to reel when green, and pause during red for less damage. It may take you a couple of attempts before you bag this fish.
