Dinkum: How to start fishing

You can start fishing in any water body present around the island and you can find mini islands too which are near the main island. You will be able to see fishes in the water from land itself. The following steps will help players in starting their fishing journey: 

  • Open the items list and choose the fishing rod
  • You will have to point and throw the reel at the fish
  • Press and hold the right-click of your mouse to throw it even more
  • You will have to wait till the fish notices the rod and move the reel in the water
  • Once it splashes, start reeling in immediately
  • Keep an eye on the fishing stamina bar as you will lose out on the fish if it goes to zero. Furthermore, it will also go down quickly if the fish is battling to escape
  • The best time to reel fishes in is when the struggle is less
  • Keep doing it till you get ahold of the fish

Thus, this is all players have to know regarding the mechanics of fishing in Dinkum. Of course, there will be fishes that get away in the beginning phase. However, it will become easier once you keep at it and start learning when to pull in fishes.
