Sea

Fishing by the sea provides access to several fish that can be found no where else in the game, and can make your weekly trips to visit the astrologer slightly more profitable. More importantly, fishing at the sea is required if you happen to be an achievement hunter, as the elusive goldfish can be found nowhere else and there are several other fish unique to this spot as well.

Finding the Fishing Spot
Starting from the tavern, follow the roadway path all the way to the east where you will come across a ruined sea bridge. From there, head north along the beach sticking beside the coastline. A short ways up north you'll find a pier, which you can interact with in order to start fishing.

Fish by Zone
Keep in mind that at the sea, the near zone will be on the left of the bar and the far zone will be on the right side of the fishing bar, as replicated below. Information provided is accurate as of Version 1.030.



Zone Specific Fishing Tips
Catching fish at each different fishing location can create different odds towards catching specific fish. For each fish present at the sea, some tips are provided below to help you catch each specific fish type available at the sea. Not all combinations are provided that could lead to catching the fish, only the best possible odds are considered. Further, time of day is only mentioned if it is relevant to the availability of the fish or if it increases the odds to catch them.

Anchovy
Unique to the sea, are the alternative to  if you are in need of the bait fish. Despite that, you may just need one for the ichthyologist achievement, but they make the bait fish incredibly easy to catch. Just bring the with you, and you'll be able to nab it in either the near or middle zones with a 100% chance to put them on the hook.

Eel
While it may be easier to catch the over in the swamp, the fishing spot at the swamp is not the most convenient. But unlike the fishing hole in the swamp, you'll have to be a bit more timely regarding eel fishing at the sea. During the day, you can reach 100% odds with the and using s as bait. At night?, you're out of luck, because eels simply won't be caught at all at night in the sea no matter what rod and bait combination you try. However you can catch eel at night in the swamp.

Sardine
is another fish unique to the sea, but one with far less utility than the anchovy. Thankfully, it isn't much harder to get this fish to have 100% odds of being on the hook. You'll need the to have a shot at it, and just add bait. Any bait will do whether it be s, either of the bait fish, or either lures.

Tuna
The third of the unique sea fish, fishing for is more about choosing the right zone. For 100% odds to hook one, fish in the far zone with a or either bait fish with the. Don't have that rod yet? Not to worry, you can also get 100% odds to hook one with the and either of the two lures or with bait fish.

Salmon
Apparently, our little slice of land in Graveyard Keeper must be near an estuary, because we can find the here despite it normally being a fresh water fish, which seldom visits the sea. You can certainly find it elsewhere, but if you want to grab it while you are here with 100% odds, bring out the and bait it with s. Sweet and simple.

Goldfish
Now this is a tricky one, and the last of the sea specific fish. Not just tricky, but the is the hardest fish to catch in the game right now, so it makes sense that there is an achievement based on catching one. You will need the as well as the  to even have a slim chance at it. Better to come in at night for this particular beauty too, 5% odds to hook is significantly better than the 2% odds you'll face in the day. Trying to catch one will lead to a whole lot of tuna too, so make sure you have room in your inventory for those as well if you are fishing for the achievement. Your reward? On top of the achievement, you can sell these for around before diminishing returns kicks in.
