How to catch Large Yellow Croaker

Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
2. Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
3. Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.

Coastal Reef Zone · Larimichthys crocea

Large yellow croakers have two large otoliths in their heads.

Sound waves from striking hard objects can travel underwater and resonate with these otoliths, stunning the fish and causing them to lose direction and float to the surface.

In the past, fishermen used this clever method to hunt them. However, in order to protect the yellow croaker population, this fishing method and similar ones have all been prohibited.
