How to catch Leatherjacket Fish

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.

While leatherjacket fish and the delicious horse mackerel both belong to the Carangidae family, the leatherjacket's larger size offers better meat yield and easier catch. This should theoretically make it a star competitor in fish markets against the mackerels.

In reality, however, due to its meat having a strange, oily taste, it's largely ignored by the masses.
