Idle Fishing

You run a fishing operation, catching fish across different zones and building up a fleet. Each zone has its own fish to discover, ranging across six rarity levels. Fishing can continue automatically through hired crewmates, including while the game is closed, or you can join in with a skill-based catching mini-game for larger rewards. Seagull events, fishing contests, chest hunts, and daily quests offer additional activities. Spend earnings on buildings, boats, crew, and other upgrades. Ascension grants access to permanent improvements, while rebirth adds another progression layer. You can also collect and evolve pets for passive bonuses, and dig through a tile grid in a separate excavation mini-game.

Grow a fishing business across 11 zones by catching fish, hiring an automated crew, and investing in upgrades and side activities.
