How to Get Secret Fish in Fish It | SABG

Hunting for secret fish in Fish It? These rare and elusive catches are the ultimate prize for dedicated anglers. This comprehensive guide reveals everything you need to know about finding, catching, and collecting all secret fish in the game.

What Are Secret Fish in Fish It?

Secret fish are extremely rare, hidden species in Fish It that don’t appear in the standard fish encyclopedia until you catch them. Unlike regular fish that spawn based on location and bait, secret fish require specific conditions, special techniques, or unique circumstances to appear. These prestigious catches offer massive rewards including exclusive titles, special abilities, premium currency, and bragging rights among the fishing community.

Each secret fish has its own unlock method ranging from fishing at exact times to using special bait combinations or completing hidden challenges. Some secret fish are so rare that only a small percentage of players have ever caught them, making them the ultimate endgame goal.

Types of Secret Fish and How to Find Them

Time-Based Secret Fish

Many secret fish only spawn during specific times, making timing crucial for your fishing expeditions.

Midnight Phantom – Appears only between 12:00 AM and 12:15 AM in-game time at the Deep Ocean zone. Use glow bait for the best chance. This ethereal fish glows blue and is worth 50,000 coins.

Dawn Striker – Spawns during sunrise (5:00 AM to 6:00 AM) in the Mountain Lake area. Cast your line from the eastern shore facing the sunrise. Requires master-tier rod or higher.

Eclipse Bass – Only catchable during in-game eclipse events that occur randomly every 48-72 real-world hours. Check the sky periodically and head to Central Lake when the eclipse begins.

Seasonal Spirits – Four different secret fish appear during real-world seasons. Spring Blossom Fish (March-May), Summer Blaze Fish (June-August), Autumn Harvest Fish (September-November), and Winter Frost Fish (December-February).

Location-Specific Secret Fish

These hidden species only spawn in particular spots that aren’t marked on your map.

Cave Lurker – Found in the hidden underwater cave system accessible through a crack in the rocks at coordinates (X: -250, Y: -80, Z: 150) in Deep Ocean. You need diving gear and a waterproof lantern to access this area.

Volcano Koi – Lives in the lava pools of Volcanic Island, but only in the smallest pool behind the main crater. Requires heat-resistant line and special lava bait crafted from obsidian shards.

Sky Manta – Despite being a fish, this creature spawns on the Sky Islands accessible via the ancient teleporter at max level. Fish from cloud platforms using aerial bait.

Sewer Serpent – Hidden in the underground sewer system beneath Fishing Village. Enter through the manhole cover near the tackle shop. Not the prettiest catch, but extremely rare and valuable.

Weather-Dependent Secret Fish

Environmental conditions trigger these special spawns.

Storm Leviathan – Only appears during thunderstorms in Deep Ocean. When lightning strikes the water, cast immediately at the impact point. This massive fish requires expert reeling skills and sells for 100,000+ coins.

Fog Phantom – Spawns exclusively during dense fog conditions in any body of water. Fog events are random but more common in early morning hours. The fish is nearly invisible, so watch for subtle ripples.

Rainbow Trout King – Appears in Mountain Lake immediately after rain stops when a rainbow is visible. You have approximately 10 minutes to catch it before it despawns.

Blizzard Shark – During snowstorms in Frozen Lake, this aggressive secret fish has a small chance to spawn. Use reinforced line as it will break standard equipment.

Advanced Secret Fish Hunting Methods

Using Special Bait Combinations

Some secret fish only respond to specific bait types or combinations.

Mythic Bait Crafting – Combine three legendary bait types at the crafting station to create Mythic Bait. This attracts the Ancient Guardian, a secret fish worth 250,000 coins found in the Mysterious Depths.

Golden Lure Secret – Purchase or craft the Golden Lure, then attach exactly three luck charms to it. This setup attracts the Golden Koi in Central Lake, which grants a permanent 10% coin boost when caught.

Custom Bait Experiments – Try mixing unusual bait combinations like worms plus gems, or shrimp plus flowers. The community has discovered several secret fish through experimental bait mixing.

Completing Hidden Challenges

Certain secret fish unlock through gameplay achievements that aren’t explicitly stated.

100-Fish Streak – Catch 100 fish in a row without missing a single bite or having line breaks. Successfully completing this unlocks the Streak Master Tuna, which appears as your next catch.

Perfect Cast Challenge – Achieve 50 perfect casts (landing exactly at maximum distance) to attract the Precision Pike in any fishing location.

No-Equipment Challenge – Catch 25 fish using only the basic starter rod with no upgrades, bait, or enchantments. The Humble Catfish then becomes catchable with incredible stat boosts.

Deep Dive Quest – Reach the absolute bottom of Deep Ocean (depth level 500+) and cast your line. The Abyssal Horror has a 5% chance to spawn on each cast at maximum depth.

Tournament and Event Secret Fish

Special events introduce temporary secret fish with unique rewards.

Tournament Champions – Winning weekly fishing tournaments grants access to the Champion’s Pool, where the Trophy Marlin spawns exclusively for winners.

Holiday Event Fish – Major holidays introduce limited-time secret fish. Halloween features the Pumpkin Bass, Christmas has the Candy Cane Eel, and Easter brings the Chocolate Egg Fish.

Update Celebration Fish – When major game updates launch, developers often hide special commemorative fish for 48-72 hours. These become unobtainable afterward, making them highly sought after.

Tips for Maximizing Secret Fish Catches

Upgrade Your Equipment First Secret fish often require high-tier rods, reinforced lines, and quality reels. Invest in at least epic-tier equipment before seriously hunting secret species. The investment pays off with successful catches.

Join a Fishing Guild Guild members share secret fish spawn information in real-time. When someone spots a rare weather condition or time-based spawn, the whole guild can benefit. Some secret fish even require multiple players fishing simultaneously.

Use Luck Boosts Strategically Save your luck potions, four-leaf clovers, and luck enchantments for confirmed secret fish opportunities. Using luck boosts during optimal conditions dramatically increases your success rate.

Keep a Fishing Journal Document every secret fish attempt including time, location, weather, bait used, and results. Patterns emerge over time that help you understand spawn mechanics better than any guide.

Enable Fishing Notifications Turn on in-game notifications for weather changes, rare spawns, and time-based events. Many secret fish opportunities are extremely brief, and notifications ensure you don’t miss them.

Fish During Off-Peak Hours Some secret fish spawn rates decrease when too many players are in the same area. Fishing during less popular times (late night or early morning real-world time) can improve your chances.

Secret Fish Rewards and Benefits

Catching secret fish provides substantial benefits beyond the initial reward:

Exclusive Titles and Badges – Each secret fish grants a unique title you can display. Collecting all secret fish in a category earns master titles like “Storm Whisperer” or “Time Keeper.”

Permanent Stat Boosts – Many secret fish provide permanent account-wide bonuses such as increased fishing speed, better luck, or higher coin multipliers that apply to all future catches.

Special Abilities – Some secret fish unlock unique fishing abilities like extended cast range, automatic perfect casts, or the ability to see fish locations before casting.

Premium Currency – Secret fish often reward gems or premium currency worth hundreds of Robux, making them valuable for free-to-play progression.

Legendary Equipment – Certain secret fish drop exclusive fishing rods, reels, or accessories that can’t be obtained any other way.

Completion Bonuses – Catching all secret fish in the game unlocks the Secret Master achievement and access to a hidden fishing paradise with enhanced spawn rates for all rare fish.

Common Mistakes Secret Fish Hunters Make

Giving Up Too Early – Some secret fish have spawn rates below 1%. Persistence is essential. The rarest catches may require hundreds of attempts under correct conditions.

Ignoring Community Intelligence – Other players regularly discover new secret fish methods. Stay connected with the community through Discord, Reddit, or in-game chat to learn the latest findings.

Using Wrong Equipment – Each secret fish has equipment requirements. Using inadequate gear results in broken lines or lost catches even when you successfully hook them.

Fishing in Wrong Spots – Location matters immensely. Being even slightly off from the correct coordinates can mean the difference between catching a secret fish or wasting hours.

Not Checking Prerequisites – Some secret fish require you to catch other fish first or complete specific quests. Review requirements before attempting difficult hunts.
