[@marcw6875]

1. Look for shadows with dorsal fins. 2. Cast your fishing line. 3. Push the A button when the fish pulls the bobber down. 4. Repeat as needed over the course of time until you have all the sharks. :)

[@blackberry8121]

one time i was fishing on my dock and i had a friend over. i threw some bait in, and for whatever reason, she threw her line in after me. she ended up stealing the catch. you know what it was? a hammerhead shark, and it was the only one of the four that i needed

Surprisingly the first day of June my island was only spawning sharks as the big shadow fish. I didnt catch any Sea Bass or Olive Flounders that day, just a bunch of sharks. And then June 2nd I started getting Sea Bass and Olive Flounders again and the shark spawning has decreased by a lot

The saw tooth one no. I now am used to them unless they are in disguise. There is one shark I cannot catch as it hits once even when i hit a button….it takes the bait and leaves. Boo

So far, I caught a Saw and Hammerhead with no bait. I went fishing earlier this evening with all the bait I have been hoarding in my Storage and no luck. I was also trying to catch the Giant Trevally and the Mahi-mahi while I was at the pier. No luck there either lol. But the finned shadows mostly teased my bobber and swam away when I tried to reel them in at the right moment.

I got the giant trevally after a few bait, then on the second day I caught a mahi-mahi first try.

[@ViewtifulDarnell]

I still need the Saw Shark. Also still don't have the Mahi Mahi so I do all my bait fishing off of the pier hoping to get one or the other. I don't want to dedicate a whole day to it though so I usually craft up about 10-20 bait when I'm walking along the beach during one play session and will do the fishing during another play session. Considering the sharks are gonna be around until September I'm not in a rush there. I also need a Dorado from the river. I'll use bait in the river once I have that Mahi Mahi.

If you're going shark hunting, I suggest nmt trips, the best islands to get are bamboo or mountain island, as the only fish that can spawn are the ones that spawn in the sea

The sucker fish is a remora :) they attach themselves to sharks and larger sea animals and catch a ride along, eating food scraps that the larger sea creature may have eaten. Very interesting!

[@twice.asaurus]

I just caught my first shark today: the whale shark: $13,000

[@deloen]

I already know about the sharks, these guys just make great videos.

[@mkdebs9807]

I caught them all the first day. It was really easy.

[@SavvySaxy]

... I just did the math and the amount of time it took you to fish up the first Great White you could have sold those 77 bait and gotten 400 more bells without the hassle. Each fish bait sells for 200 bells and the Great White sells for 15000. Obviously you should still do it for the museum, but afterwards I think I would use other methods to get money.

[@xavierrodriguez6183]

yeah, but idrk if anybody goes fishing for really rare fishes to sell at nooks cranny. most of the time it's either for their museum or to sell to people who cant seem to fish them up themselves

[@caustic9921]

[@viviwillowxo4774]

Tips from your old pal! If your switch vibrates while catching a fish with a fin or a normal fish it’s probably gonna be something over 5k bells. If you go to the nook stop each day u can earn some nook miles. Also go to the nook stop and purchase the pro designs thing in “redeem nook miles” section! It gives you better design outfits and stuff! Be aware of the scorpion & tarantula. They both bite,sting. Only with the net tho. Better chance of huge, good fish in the ocean rather the river. Enjoy! Forgot to mention the sea bass tricks you sometimes thinking that your gonna get t something good because it also vibrates the switch. Just sell it if you get it or if you like it give it a happy home!

I never caught a shark before so I started watching this video and was watching what to do. I am never a lucky person btw.

[@chloeseashells6915]

A little tip that I learned try to catch them at 4:30 that is when I got both the saw shark and the great white

[@ModelAAA90]

Glad it went by smoothly this time! Honestly, I probably didn’t need all the bait I made this time (Even though I blew through probably up to 200 lol), because I’m still to this day catching these Sharks IN DROVES! 😅

[@Plem7]

So I guess I got lucky. Until watching this video I had never even seen a fish with a fin. I only crafted 26 bait, and in the time I was searching for them I saw TWO fins! I caught a Hammerhead, and another fish that apparently has a fin is the Ocean Sunfish. Once I started fishing, I got duped by a sucker fish, caught 2 Moray Eels (which I had never seen before), and let a 4th finned fish get away because I got too excited. Definitely gonna try this again!

[@MzBillyBee]

Thank you for sharing this info, it was sooooooooo helpful. I've caught every type of shark, also I'm not sure if this is helpful or true, but when it comes to recognizing a real shark from the sucker shark, it seems like the color of the fin is different. The red color fin indicates a real shark, and the black fin is the sucker shark. Now I don't know if I'm right, but it kind of seems like it's accurate..I think.. Lol lol....🤔🤔

[@DenyaBiebs]

I just caught a sucker fish and it had a red fin 😭

[@ArchAngel_M81]

I have all four sharks. I noticed something about the hammerhead. It’s profile changes depending on which side of my island I catch it. I have caught a couple of Giant trevally and Coelacanth but no Mahi-Mahi. Finally, in all fairness to Tom Nook, all home loans are no interest with no time tables. So, it’s a bit harsh calling him a loan shark, IMO.

[@Mathy92_]

Caught them all.. no bait needed 😁 Sharks seem very popular on my island 🥰 shared with my mom who is having a hard time catching them and my aunt who is just starting out though. Love your vids! Thank you 🙃

[@vexespifloral3333]

this may be a few months ago, but it really helped me! i time skipped to September 1st 6:30pm and made bait. And first try, i got a shark shadow and got a whale shark!

[@glee5101]

Caught all of them except the hammerhead, not on the same day, but no bait was used. I'm too lazy for that lol Tip: If u don't wanna use bait, go to Nook Mile Islands, as there's such a thing as a 'dorsal fin island' that has cliffs shaped like dorsal fins and all the fish are dorsal fin fish. But these are rare.

I caught all of them in the first couple days and I don't really use bait. I just go along the beach a lot and see the shadows naturally. I have a bunch of Great White Sharks in tanks on my beach cause I don't feel like selling them. So far I've only seen one Whale Shark.

[@itrasheditgood]

I never realized the bait could actually work, I was just selling it, i did however get lucky and catch the sharks just by scouring the beach multiple times between catching bugs and what not. I don't have those other two fish you mentioned though, so I think I will give your suggestion a shot.

[@TaintedGenre]

I've caught all of them. The ribbon eel creeps me out. I had the most luck fishing off the pier using bait during it raining after 5pm. Probably a huge coincidence 😂 My husband seeks to be catching everything in the predia and I keep catching the same ones over and over. At least I caught the golden trout on the very last day 😁
