Fishing Tourney 1

[J087]

So it started today. The next comming days you'll be able to catch special kinds of fish down at the Saltwater Shores. Chip will only accept the new kinds of fish, which sparkle when they are inside the water. The total size of all fish caught will determine your progress in the event. However, it appears that you can only fish about 7 times every every 3 hours. (those sneaky ********...)

On top of the special fish there are numerous goals to complete, including the regular fish that you can find at this spot. Some goals require 8 fish. Other goals require a certain size. During the event you can collect (or buy) special throwing nets. When using these you can also catch event fish. I recommend using these when you have reached your 3-hours limit.

For 80 leaf tickets one can BORROW a golden rod for 3 days. This rod will (always) catch 2 fish. It might be a good idea to buy it if you plan on getting a gold trophy, but don't have a lot of time to play the game. And while we're on the subject, more leaf tickets can be spend on a new decoration for your campsite.
So go spend your cash and make Nintendo happy.

the 3 hour cool down and limit to how many you can catch is kind of a bummer, but I guess atleast you get some rewards for fishing normal fish in between.. everyone's market boxes are gonna be overflowing with ocean fish haha

However, it appears that only a select amount (i thought 10?) can be caught every 3 hours. (those sneaky ********...)

Well, I tried using the throwing nets ( both regular and large ) outside of the Fishing Tourney hours ( like during the 3 hour wait ) and I was still able to catch the special tourney fish ! In fact, those special tourney fish were the only ones I ever got via the throwing nets. None of the regular fish appeared for me when using the nets during the 3 hour waiting period, and I did use the nets several times.

Just throwing that out there for those reading the thread and those who may not have known.

Just to add: that's only with the tourney nets. The normal sea throw nets do not catch the special fish.

But yeah! They absolutely work at any time. Thanks, iLoveYou.

The price for the complete aquarium background set is an absolutely ridiculous 1050. No way will I be buying that lol.

Yup, you're right. The nets used need to be under the " Event " section.

I just got a clown fish as an extra from one of my campers, so I guess that's a thing too..

Is anyone else getting this bug on Pocket Camp where completing one of Chip's challenges causes the normal goal icon to ping as if you completed one of them? It's nothing bad but it's kinda starting to get annoying.

I'm having the same bug.

Hmm talking about fish, does anyone know if the super rare fish/bugs such as tuna or jewel beetles have any use in animal requests? I've never seen an animal request one so I've been wondering if they're just for selling for bells. Need to know bc if that's the case I must remove them from my market box x.x

don't think they do atm .. I just keep one of each just in case they add something and sell the rest directly from my inventory .. market box doesn't make much sense for them atm, since they have no use, noone will spend bells on them and it's just a lost sales spot.

@Flare have the same happening too

More ways to get fish ? That's really neat.

Does anyone remember the order of Chip's rewards?
I didn't get the Seaweed screen and it's not crossed off the rewards list.
I think it's bugged because I did get Coral Bench and Surgeonfish Tank...

Yup, glad I'm not the only one.

Also...is anyone else is getting glitch...



Like this! When sitting the tank on a small table like item... (only happens when you leave and come back)

I don't believe rewards are given in any specific order.

 

[J087]

Oh... Guess I got a net.
Kinda glad it's not a bug.

This event actually isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I think I might be able to get all the non leaf ticket items if I play enough.

i was wondering why after 10 fish no more tourney fish were showing up, that kinda is a bummer that there's a cooldown only after 10. after 15 or 20 would be better imo, i didnt play all day so im kinda behind more than i should be in overall measurement goals. i used a bunch of nets to up my score to just about 982 cm. i really dont think im going to be buying the new underwater terrains because they're way too many leaf tickets. im trying to save up after ive been blowing them all on stuff i dont need.

Does any one know if the golden rod catches *more* fish or just catches them in pairs or faster?

The golden rod catches two of the same tourney fishes each time you use it. It only catches double the fish, every 3 hours, during the tourney and during the 3 hour wait, it acts as a regular rod and catches one fish at a time. As far as I'm aware, there is no change in speed.
