Animal Crossing: New Horizons Saw Shark: How to Catch

If you plan to catch a Saw Shark in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you’ll need dust off your best fishing pole, grab plenty of bait, and head to your favorite fishing spot. The Saw Shark can be caught in the Northern Hemisphere from 4 PM – 9 PM in the months of June, July, August, and September. Alternatively, it can be caught in the Southern Hemisphere during the same time in the months of December, January, February, and March.
