To begin fishing in Once Human you need two essential items:

  • Fishing rod
  • Bait

The fishing rod can be crafted at a Supplies Workbench using 20 logs and 10 Copper Ingots. Bait comes in various forms but the simplest is Dough Fish Bait made from 1 corn.

Once the essential items are equipped, you can start to fish in most bodies of water. However, the best spots are often found at docks scattered throughout the map. These locations host fishing events which increase the chances of catching rare fish.

Casting the line is straightforward. You should approach the water area, equip your fishing rod, and hold the left mouse button to aim. Releasing the button casts the line.

The real challenge begins when a fish bites. You will see two bars appear on the screen:

  1. “Hooked – Escape” top bar
  2. “Break – Slack” bottom bar

The goal is to fill the top bar while preventing the bottom bar from depleting. When the bobber glows you have about 5 seconds to press and hold the left mouse button. The key to success is moving the camera away from the fish’s direction. It’s a delicate balance – moving too far risks breaking the line.

Continuous adjustments are necessary. When done correctly the fish will dart towards you filling the top bar rapidly.

For those looking to fish regularly finding a consistent bait supply is crucial. One method involves capturing a specific deviant called “Frog the Leaper.” This creature continuously produces Universal Bait when placed in a deviant station. Frog the Leaper can be found in a specific location south of Grey Roder near River Hart Harbor. Look for a jumping puzzle among a cluster of cars and buses.
