When to chase Sandfish

Chase Sandfish when Spring / Summer / Fall / Winter is active, the 6:00 AM - 8:00 PM time window fits your day, and you do not need to wait for special weather. For planning, catch and store one before selling extras.

Skip the trip when the season or weather is wrong, but make a plan to return before the bundle window closes. The location is The Desert, so combine the fishing trip with nearby errands when possible.

How to use this data

Plan a Sandfish catch without wasting the season

Fish pages are most useful when you turn the season, weather, time, and location fields into a short fishing plan before the day starts.

  1. Check the season first: Sandfish is only useful to chase when Spring / Summer / Fall / Winter is active.
  2. Match the time window before traveling. If the window is narrow, finish watering, animals, or mining plans before committing to the fishing trip.
  3. Use the location and weather fields together. A correct location on the wrong weather day is still a failed trip.
  4. If you need this for a bundle, catch and store one before selling extras.
