As you may recall from earlier tips and tricks that we’ve put together about various types of fish, we think that sharks on average are the most profitable thing to actually focus on fishing up when you’re desperate for some cash in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They’re not very easy to get, but if you’re someone who has bait and you start to stick to the sides of your island bordering the sea, we reckon that you’re going to have luck. If you need more tips on how to catch sharks in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, we’ve relinked a guide here for your benefit.
We reckon that one of the best things about Animal Crossing is the myriad of ways that you can enjoy yourself by living off the land. Sure, this one seems a tiny bit exploitative if you’re just farming the natural waters around you for grub to sell to CJ whenever he rolls into town, but that’s life. We sure as hell can’t escape capitalism on the island thanks to Tom Nook, so why not make the most of it? If you need a bit of help with sprucing up how your island looks so that it feels a bit less like a dystopian hellscape, you can always check out our guide on flower breeding right here and we’ve also got a very helpful visual aid in the form of a video if you learn better that way. Check it out below.
