    2. Locate a fishing spot with Goldenfish visible (they are identifiable by their shiny golden scales).
    3. Cast your lure near the fish and wait for it to bite.
    4. Reel it in quickly to secure your catch.

    Tips for Success

    • Use fishing spots in caves or shaded areas for higher success rates.
