Fishing is a Life Skill in Grand Blue that helps with progression (rewards XP and Gold) and obtaining cooking ingredients for various dishes. To start fishing, get a Wooden Rod and buy Worms (to use as bait) from Ricky at Anchor Town. Catch and sell fish to the Merchant to earn Gold and XP and start your fishing journey in Grand Blue. As you progress, you can get better Rods to catch bigger and more valuable fish. See our full guide below to learn about all the fish you can catch, all fishing areas, and where to get better fishing rods.

How to Get All Baits in Grand Blue
As of the Early Access meta, there are three different types of bait/lure that you can use in Grand Blue. The table below shows where to get them and their prices:
| Bait | Stats | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Worm | +10 Luck +10 Lure Speed | Get from the shop on the Docks at Anchor Town (behind the Ricky NPC) for 5 Gold |
| Shimmer Roe | +20 Luck +5% Mutation Chance | Get from the big shop on the Docks at Maple Village (near the Merry NPC) for 75 Gold |
