Sea of Thieves fishing: All the locations in one chart

For some, Sea of Thieves is the go-to option for grand pirate adventures. For others, it’s a fishing simulator. There are ten species of fish to catch if you’re hoping to heed the Hunter’s Call, but first, you’ll need to find out where they roam.

Given the scope of the high seas, that’s easier said than done. There’s also the matter of bait. Splashtails and Pondies aren’t picky, but others absolutely are. Let’s check out every fish type available in Sea of Thieves, including their spawn locations and bait preferences, in a comprehensive fishing guide.

The fish you find in Sea of Thieves have drastically different spawn locations and bait requirements. While Pondie and Splashtail fish don’t need bait, species like the Devilfish appear in one particular spot and require grubs.

In that spirit, I’m super thankful whenever someone bundles all of the necessary details into an easy-to-skim chart. Below is a complete list of every fish location in Sea of Thieves.

More than the story-driven Tall Tales and PvP skirmishes in The Arena, fishing speaks to me most in Sea of Thieves, especially if I just want to relax alone for a bit. It’s certainly one of my favorite pastimes in gaming. The activity was sorely missed at launch, but now that fishing is here and it’s more fleshed-out than I would’ve expected, I’m happy.
