1. Follow the Fishing Plan in sequence.
   • The Fishing Plan does not show all the places that you can find each particular fish. But there is no need to run around looking for the fish in other places. Fish the ponds in the order they are listed.
   • The Fishing Plan is set up, in most cases, to go for the more difficult fish first. Just follow the plan in order and you will usually be able to skip sections (ponds) because you will already have those fish.
   • Make sure you have all the fish before you move to the next section.
   • If you already have the more advanced fishing rods, no problem
     • Just start at the beginning (twig section) anyway and make sure you have all the fish as you go through the Fishing Plan.
2. Fish quickly
   • I suggest fishing a minimum of 35 buckets per hour
   • 40 buckets per hour is better but 35 will do just fine.
   • Accuracy helps increase speed.
   • If you can’t fish that fast, then just do the best you can. You will improve over time.
3. Fish a sufficient quantity in a single sitting.
   • I suggest fishing a minimum of 25 buckets at a time.
   • 50 to 75 buckets is optimal, but 25 will do just fine.
   • I wouldn’t do more than 100 buckets at a time; you will just burn yourself out.
   • If you want to do more than 100 buckets, then take a break after 100 buckets and come back later and do more.
4. Fish often
   • I suggest you fish a minimum of 25 buckets everyday.
   • 75 buckets a day is optimal, but 25 will keep you moving along just fine.
5. Fish in one place.
   • I suggest that you don’t move around.
   • Find a nice quiet place, pick one dock, and stay on that one dock in that one district for the entire fishing session.
   • I personally take this one step further. I usually (about 95% of the time) fish in the same district at the same pond on the same dock for every session of fishing. I do this until I get the fish I am looking for.
   • Don’t get mad if someone has your dock though, it will be okay. Keep a good attitude it is your most important asset.
