Spot #6: Adan Lake
To reach the fishing spot in Adan Lake, simply use the fast travel point by the campfire and the pier will be right there.

Hawksbill Trout Cave Sea Bass Emerald Salmon Lesser Pirarucu Aqfotle Arowana
Spot #8: The Ocean (The Hidden Wharf)
To travel to the fishing spot in the Ocean, you’ll have to make use of the cargo freighter from the Hidden Wharf in Mahag Saar. Simply talk to the captain, marked by the green circle on the minimap, and ask him to take you to the fishing spot. Note: To unlock the ability to fish here, you must first finish the Wedge dungeon at a later point in the story. The following fish can be caught from the fishing spot at sea:

Spot #10: Lavtu Marshlands
To reach the fishing spot in the Lavtu Marshlands, you’ll want to enter the area from the direction of Pelegion. Upon entering Lavtu Marshlands from the west, head south and hug the western side of the map, swimming past a small island with strawberries and a larger one with rice. The fishing pier is just southwest of here, in the corner of the map. The following fish can be caught from Lavtu Marshlands:
Dahnan Bass Tricolored Catfish Lavtu Tilapia Lavtu Arowana Lesser Pirarucu Cobalt Trout
Spot #11: Fogwharl Limestone Caverns
The fishing spot within the Fogwharl Limestone Caverns is found deep inside the dungeon, in the Inner Sanctum. You’ll need to fight a very powerful boss called Luo Undine to even access the area, so you probably won’t be seeing this until the very end of the game. The caverns themselves can be accessed from the Shinefall Woods. Note: You’ll find this fishing spot after undertaking the endgame side-quest ‘Untamable Rage’ from an NPC in Thistlym. Keep an eye out for an old man standing on the ridge above the settlement itself to begin this quest. The following types of fish can be caught from this special fishing location:
Ganath Haros Piranha Pearly Pike Azure Tilapia Ganath Haros Catfish Fogwharl Pike Cygni Pirarucu
Other
Spot #12: The Uninhabited Island
Finally, we have the Uninhabited Island. This is initially accessed by the cargo freighter, but after traveling there once and activating the fast travel spot, you can go there directly using the map. You’ll only be able to come here after unlocking Rena in the main story. Once you’ve done so, head to the Tuah Seashore just east of Thistlym, after which the side-quest ‘Beyond the Grave’ will begin. From here, head back to the Hidden Wharf and talk to the captain. The option to travel to the Uninhabited Island should be available. The types of fish that can be caught at the Uninhabited Island are as follows:
Vesper Sea Bass Tsuyukasa Mackerel Mahag Saar Flatfish Zesti Grouper Gluttonous Barracuda
