Animal Crossing New Horizons Fish Bait

To get Fish Bait in Animal Crossing, you will need to find a Manila Clam. These clams can be found on the beach, so spend a few minutes scouring the shore for small dots on the sand. These dots will spit out water and can be dug up using your shovel.

When you find a Manila Clam, the recipe for Fish Bait will automatically be added to your workbench. Head over to your workbench to create the bait. It only requires one clam to create, which makes it one of the more accessible resources to gather.

Once you have your bait, head down to any body of water, and select the Fish Bait from your inventory. There will be an option to "Scatter the Food." Select this option, and after a few minutes you should start to notice an increase in fish in your area.

Fish are a great resource to farm. Every fish has a different price tag, availability, and size. Some come with a hefty price tag, so be on the lookout for the bigger shadows.
