The Fishing Tournament

The Fishing Tournament is held during the Harvest Festival on the 8th, from morning until 2ET.

To enter the contest, you must use special 'Matra Fighter' bait, which you can purchase from the Work Store for 10 bea on the day of the festival.

The three largest 'Matra' will be prize winners.

To enter a fish, you must deliver it to the supply house before 2 ET.

The first prize for winning the festival is 10,000 bea, 30 'The Mirage X' fishing bait, and the title of Fishing Master.

Fishing Tips

• During the fishing contest enter matra king fish one at a time, and if you get to first place save the rest for next year.
• Elnea Wharf is a great place to fish. You can buy your bait at the market, and in a few short steps you are next to the water. Then you can go back to the market and sell your catch, or go to the warehouse and exchange your fish for work points.
• If you keep your taps at the red end of the meter, without going over, they'll deal more damage to the fish's HP.
• Strength is rumored to help with fishing (based on NPC text).
• Basic ability is related to the power to catch fish. Source: Official FAQ
• Farmers are able to catch fish more easily. This effect is also in Farming Society Trial and Farming Society Disguise.
• Seasonal Bait and Seasonal Fish (such as Shinzo's Buddy in spring) seem to yield the best results overall for cost / time / reward ratio.
• Complete the fishing and bait quests for Miara in the library as fast as you can. The bait that becomes available after doing her quests is really useful and she rewards you with miracle bait which is excellent for catching bigger and rarer fish.
• Since the past few updates winning the fishing tournament in the first year is much more difficult, but if you are wearing a farming society disguise and have decent stats, take a couple of hundred matra fighter bait to the docks and you might be able to do it.
• You get to keep the Matra fish you catch, so if you're in first place and have extra fish you want to keep, you can save them for the next year. You can also continue fishing after the contest is over to prepare for next year's contest.
• Ask your spouse to come fishing with you when you plan to go fishing. It will boost their WP and they will get fish!
