Far Cry 5 eGuide Jacob’s Region: Whitetail Mountains

Side Mission: The Admiral

  • Prerequisites: Complete Side Mission: Gone Fishin’
  • Rewards: Wonderboy Fishing Rod unlocked in shops, 200 Resistance Points, $1450
  • Details: Catch “The Admiral” to claim the cash prize to help Skylar and her boyfriend escape Hope County.

MISSION Commencement

Reach the docks at Clagett Bay, which is just north of Dylan’s Master Bait Shop. Talk to Skylar on the docks. She’s hurt her hand and can’t join you, but she will give encouragement as you hunt for the biggest sturgeon of all!

REACH Clagett Bay

Take the nearby dinghy, and travel to the pristine waters of the bay, close to the boundary with Holland Valley. Check the immediate vicinity for cultists. Cult boats and helicopters will periodically arrive, so pack ranged rifles, along with your best rod. Now go fish!

FISH for the Admiral

Pick a strong rod you purchased at a general shop, and use the Hybrid Sturgeon lure, as the Admiral is a pallid sturgeon. Then fish, either from the boat or the nearby island, anywhere within the mission area. Expect the Admiral to break your line multiple times. Listen for Skylar’s encouragement, as she also lets you know if you’re doing it wrong.

Simply follow the tactics of fishing previously mentioned, and you eventually reel in this 40+ pound monster! Then head back to the docks and Skylar splits the prize money with you.
