Alright, so I’ve been hooked on Stardew Valley again lately. My current mission? Catching every single fish in the game. Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong! Some of these fish are a real pain. Today, I decided to tackle the Red Snapper.
First thing I did was check the wiki – gotta know your enemy. It said Red Snappers like the ocean, show up when it’s raining, and are around from Summer to Fall, 6 AM to 7 PM. Okay, not too bad. I made sure it was Summer in my game, and then I just…waited. And waited. Stardew days can feel long when you’re just waiting for rain!
Finally, the next day rolled around, and boom – rain! I grabbed my trusty rod, some bait (because who fishes without bait?), and headed to the beach. I picked a spot on the pier – seemed like a good, fishy location.
I cast my line out, and the waiting game began again. But this time, it was more exciting because I knew I had a chance. First few bites were just the usual suspects – sardines, anchovies…nothing special. Then, I got a bite that felt…different. A little stronger, a little more fight. I played the mini-game carefully, keeping the little fish icon within the green bar. It was a struggle, but I finally reeled it in!
My Catch!
- Red Snapper!
I was stoked! One more fish checked off my list. It took a few tries, and a whole lot of waiting for the rain, but I finally got my Red Snapper. I even managed to catch a couple more before the day was over. I put one in my fish pond on the farm and sold the others, those suckers fetch a decent price.
So, that was my Red Snapper adventure. Not the most exciting story, but it’s the little victories, right? Now, onto the next challenge… which I think is that darn Walleye.
