Sell only fresh fish — older fish lose value.

Fish during peak hours (early morning, late evening).

Join competitions — winning gives big rewards.

Avoid overfishing a spot — change places if catches drop.

Use premium if possible — speeds up skill gain and silver income.

Use café orders — some fish fetch 2–3× normal price.
