How to Catch Blue Marlin in Animal Crossing New Horizons

The Blue Marlin is one of the few new fishes that can be caught this month. However, it is only available right now in the northern hemisphere. Catching the Blue Marlin can be somewhat tricky at first, especially if you are unsure how to locate it, identify it, and catch it.

Unfortunately, the Blue Marlin does not have a specific time of day that the fish spawns. This is good and bad in the sense that you don’t have to wait for the Blue Marlin and start fishing anytime, but it also means that you cannot narrow your chances of catching one. Either way, when you are ready to catch the Blue Marlin, make your way towards the pier as this is the only location you can find it. Don’t waste your time looking for the fish in the sea or in ponds and rivers.

The Blue Marlin can also only be guessed by its shadowy appearance in the water. The fish has a large size than normal fishes which is the only indication before you can catch it. In addition, you can further increase your chances of finding one if you use bait and are fishing when it is raining. These are two factors that can greatly increase your chances of catching better fishes.
