Fishing Tourney 4

For a detailed guide for this event, see Fishing Tourney 4: How to Play .

Fishing Tourney #4 is an event featuring Chip which utilizes the Saltwater Shores location. The event introduces rare types of fish, as well as underwater-themed rewards.

The tourney began on July 25th and the player could collect fish to complete the challenges and goals until July 30th 5:59am (UTC). The trophy earned for the tourney was available in the player's mailbox from July 30th to July 31st 5:59am (UTC).

Fish could be obtained various ways:

• By fishing with the regular fishing rod near sparkling water, for a total of 10 spawns per 3-hour rotation. There is a 16% 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 10 spawns per 3-hour rotation. Each spawn will result in capturing two fish at the same time.
• By using the Tourney Throw Net (River) to capture x1 Spotted Knifejaw plus 5 random tourney fish*.
• By buying a Lg. Tourney Throw Net (River) and using it to capture 10 random tourney fish.
• By fulfilling requests for villagers at the campsite and receiving fish as a reward.

*Changes that are new in this tourney compared to past versions; previously the regular rod had a 20% chance, and the net captured only 4 random tourney fish.

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

The player only received one trophy at the end of the event, for the highest level earned. For example, if the player reached the Total-Size Goal of 7,000cm, they will receive only the Gold Fish Trophy and will not receive the lower trophies.
