⚡ Pro Fishing Tips

• Timing matters: Fish during rain, blizzards, or sandstorms for a +20% bonus to fishing power
• Location strategy: Mushroom biomes provide the highest environmental bonus at +15%
• Potion power: Always use Fishing Potions (+15) and Crate Potions (+10) for serious fishing sessions
• Moon phases: Full moons provide an additional +10% bonus - plan your fishing trips accordingly
• Accessory stacking: All fishing accessories stack together, so wear as many as possible
• Bait efficiency: Master Bait and Truffle Worms provide the highest power but are consumed per catch
• Pool size: Larger bodies of water don't affect fishing power but provide better variety
• Lava fishing: Requires special equipment but can yield unique catches despite the power penalty
