How to catch Pirate Captain’s Goldfish
Preparation involves gathering bait and gear first.
Gather Truffle Worms by cracking open Volcanic Geodes or Coral Geodes, or fall back on Shrimp from Bait Crates for easier access.
Select your rod prioritizing Luck to improve spawn rates and Resilience to handle the fish’s wild bar movements.
Position at the pond and fish repeatedly, casting with bait equipped during day in summer for optimal conditions; use totems like Vera for extra luck if available.
