Tips and tricks to fish in Skull and Bones

Your fishing experience in Skull and Bones can be greatly enhanced by following the set of tips and tricks:

• Enabling Closed Captions: This trick involves abusing the game subtitles to better spot fish. Head to the in-game menu, navigate Settings and enter the Language sub-section. From here, enable the Subtitle Settings. When within range, the Gameplay Closed Captions will inform you of the presence of fish, making the process much easier.
• Using the Spyglass: Fishes can be easily spotted using your Spyglass. Equip the item using the R or Right Analog Stick button (on PC and console, respectively), and survey the area for fish.
• Use Cannons to mass farm fish: Cannons have a larger area of effect when compared to the Hunting Spear. They also deal much more damage, making them ideal for gathering many fish in one go. Simply aim at your prey and fire to loot their corpses.
• Consider upgrading your ship: Upgrading ships is essential for progressing through Skull and Bones’ multiplayer campaign. This naturally extends into fishing as players can use an upgraded boat to better withstand attacks from more exotic prey. Always invest in your ship before seeking out new adventures.

You can also hunt down more exotic animals using the methods described above. Remember that larger prey is more likely to attack you and deal significant damage in return. As such, it is advised to take precautions before a hunt.
