Swim into the fishing nets at Pailune’s docks to grab infinite fish without a rod in Crimson Desert. Here’s how to go about it:
Key fishing spots around Pailune docks
Multiple nets line the docks in Pailune, within the Pailune zone. These are accessible once you reach Chapter 7, right by the water’s edge near shops.
Swim freely between them for non-stop action, as fish respawn quickly without depleting.
Infinite fish spot – Location
Reach Pailune in Chapter 7 and head to the docks area.
Spot the hanging nets over shallow water—these hold the fish. No special gear required beyond basic swimming ability.
Step-by-step guide to catching fish by hand
Follow this detailed process to farm without limits.
Step 1
Approach the docks in Pailune and locate the first set of fishing nets hanging over the water.
Step 2
Jump directly into the net-covered water—dive in headfirst to start swimming around immediately.
Step 3
Swim in circles or back and forth within the net area; fish like yellow bass appear as interactable objects.
Step 4
Hold the interact button (Catch) repeatedly as fish come into range—they respond quickly and actively.
Step 5
Collect as many as your inventory allows; yellow bass are the mainstay, with northern pike popping up sometimes.
Step 6
If fish stop appearing in one net, swim to the adjacent one—drop in and repeat the process seamlessly.
Step 7
Monitor your stamina bar; if it depletes, consume stamina-restoring food from your inventory to continue indefinitely.
Step 8
To exit any net, swim to the edge platform and climb out safely.
Managing stamina for endless farming
Stamina drains fast during prolonged swims, but stocking up on food items beforehand keeps you going. Equip stamina-boosting consumables in your hotbar for quick access. This turns a short session into hours of farming without breaks.
Processing and using your fish
Raw fish sell easily at the dockside shop, but breaking them down into fillets maximizes value for cooking recipes or further sales.
Avoid eating them accidentally by checking your quick menu carefully.
Rewards from infinite fishing
Farming here yields stacks of yellow bass primarily, with pike as bonuses for better rewards.
The best spot for rod fishing
Hand-grabbing skips the wait for bites, rod tension, and line snaps entirely. It’s faster, infinite, and perfect for early Chapter 7 resource grinds. Combine with nearby vendors for instant turnover.
Stock stamina foods, clear inventory space often, and cycle nets every few minutes for peak efficiency—unlocks reliable income and cooking materials right at Pailune docks.
