Fishing Tourney 24 (Island Excursion) is an event featuring Tom Nook which utilizes the Saltwater Shores location. The event introduces rare types of fish, as well as Island Excursion themed rewards.

The tourney began on March 12th, 2020 and the player could collect fish to complete the challenges and goals until March 19th, 2020. The trophy earned for the tourney was available in the player's mailbox from March 19th to March 20th, 2020.

Fish could be obtained various ways:

By fishing with the regular fishing rod near sparkling water, for a total of 5-8 spawns per 3-hour rotation. There is a 13% chance for a single spawn to result in capturing two fish at the same time.
By renting the Golden Rod and using it to fish near sparkling water, for a total of 5-8 spawns per 3-hour rotation. Each spawn will result in capturing two fish at the same time.
By using the Tourney Throw Net to capture x6 random tourney fish.
By buying a Lg. Tourney Throw Net and using it to capture x1 Island Red Snapper, x1 Island Olive Flounder, x3 Island Tuna, plus 5 random tourney fish.
By fulfilling requests for villagers at the campsite and receiving fish as a reward.

Fish could be turned in to Tom Nook at any point during the tourney, although once the player had at least 20 fish in their inventory Tom Nook would automatically collect them all.

The player only received one trophy at the end of the event, for the highest level earned.

Any tourney nets left over at the end of the event will stay in the player's inventory and may be used in future fishing tourneys at either location.
