How to Catch Ocean Sunfish in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The Ocean Sunfish will be one of the aquatic creatures that Animal Crossing: New Horizons players can catch in July.

One of the most exciting aspects of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is when a different month arrives. The reasoning for why it is an exciting time when a different month comes is the addition of fish that were not available for players to encounter and catch in the previous month. This will be the case for July, as players will have a group of fish that they now have the opportunity to catch. One of these fish is the Ocean Sunfish, and we have everything you need to know to catch an Ocean Sunfish covered for you.
