How to Fish wiki

How to Fish is Dazed Games’ physics co-op fishing shooter, live on Steam since 20 August 2026. You crash onto a lighthouse island with empty hands, hang a lure, fight whatever comes up, and sell the haul until a quest or a boss opens the next island. The store still prints a 1–4 player loop; Patch 1.0.4 raised lobbies to 8, 1.0.5 added invite-only rooms, and 1.0.11 made your own explosives lethal even with friendly fire off. This How to Fish wiki hangs the sealed board the same way Melvin’s cabin does in the official still: 34 regular catches, 10 bosses, 16 baits, six islands, 28 Steam achievements, and the eight patches through 1 September 2026.

Catch, kill, sell

Steam icon for Rich! Millionaire — sell something worth 100,000 or more.

The official loop is three verbs printed on the Steam page: fish, kill, and sell. You start with no gear. Quests and bosses unlock islands. Rare drip variants, trick shots, and gambling with fish sit on top of that loop. There is no real-money wager; the store’s gambling line is in-game fish only, with cartoon violence toward the catch.

Catch uses the rod the island allows. Kill converts a hooked body into something you can cook, eat, or carry. Sell is the cash-out, gated since 1.0.11 by a hold. Impressive is a 5× killscore multiplier; Noob is a kill with none; Rich! Millionaire is a single sale of 100,000 or more. Do not sell a boss body that is also the next island’s bait.

Catch: you spawn with no gear. The first rod is whatever the crash island leaves you, and the Free lure or a Hot Dog is enough for Rock Crab, Shrimp, and Lobster.

The official one-minute upload is YVPYjhBdRbE on the Dazed Games YouTube channel, also previewed in the Steam launch announcement. Steam hosts the same Release Date Trailer as movie 257398070 on the How to Fish store page.

Dazed Games posts on X, Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky, and Discord from the studio site. The trailer facade on this board stays a poster until Play. Catch / Kill / Sell only change the caption under that poster. Facebook was a login wall at capture and is not listed as a confirmed official page here.

What this board lists

Players looking up How to Fish already expect a first-hour path, an island chain, a fish list, bosses, lures, gear, co-op, achievements, patches, platforms, and a FAQ. This board covers those tasks with Patch 1.0.11 facts. Community tables at AllThings.How mapped 34 regular creatures to island, rod, and bait, plus 10 bosses with unique quest baits.

Island names Lighthouse, Forest, Desert, Rocks, and Volcano are community labels; island 6 is the official number because 1.0.11 moved its roulette table. A larger GamesHub roster was not captured. A Sunfish boss page exists on another sitemap and is not hung here. No redeem codes and no tier list: Dazed Games never published either.

Dazed Games also shipped Out of Hand: Deluxe, a 2–8 player party game on the same studio site. Streaming, recording, and monetizing How to Fish is allowed; free Steam keys for curators and channels are not. Launch sold at 38% off for one week from 20 August 2026. On 23 August the studio claimed 1 million fishermen in two days.

Steam listed Overwhelmingly Positive English reviews at capture (16,916 English reviews; 41,918 recommendations in appdetails). Patch 1.0.11 added Steam Deck Verified plus GeForce NOW. Consoles and Mac are promised without a date. Korean storefronts use 낚시 방법; Simplified Chinese uses 渔力全开; other listed languages keep How to Fish.

Out of Hand: Deluxe is the studio sibling on Steam 3193680, a 2-8 player party game, not a fishing sim. Landfall publicly backed the launch week. Those facts keep this product distinct from Roblox Fisch or real-world fishing wikis. Bug mail is contact@dazed.games; this board is unofficial and cannot reset saves or grant keys.
