Fishing

When your Toon is ready to go fishing, just step up to any unoccupied pier at any pond. There are ponds in every playground and on every street, as well as a pond at your Toon's estate. Stop by the harbor in Donald's Dock—there are fish to be caught here, too! Please, do not stand or run through a pond that other toons are fishing at. First come, first serve for each pier. Which district or pier that you choose to fish at has no bearing on your chances to catch the fish. Batleth's Fishing Guide is a great guide on where all the fishes are located.

• Aunt Nutmeg’s Pond Recommendations can help you narrow down your search for a lucid non-mega-rare species.
• All Star Fish Report & Devil Ray Fish Report can help you with these very hard to catch species.
• If you would like to see what all the different species look like, you can find them all on display at the Illustrated Fishing Guide.

Step up to the pier and your Toon will get in position to cast his line. Watch the shadows in the water—these are fish just waiting to be caught. Location of where you hit the shadow or proximity has nothing to do with what fish you catch. Click and hold down the red "cast" button in the center of the screen. With the button down, move your mouse to determine where you want to drop your fishing line. When you're ready, release the "cast" button. You may experience lag or "cast" button will change color for a long time before you actually catch a fish. This is normal. Your Toon has a bucket that can hold up to 20 fish at a time. When your bucket is full or if you run out of Jellybeans, take it to the nearest Pet Shop Clerk. They'll be happy to take your fish—and pay you for your hard work in jellybeans! Pet Shop Clerks are at every pond in the playgrounds and streets. Pet Shop Clerks are easy to find by looking for "Fisherman" at the beginning of their names. You may, instead, turn in your fish in the Pet Shops to a clerk.

Every Toon starts with a Twig rod. You Toon can catch a lot of fish with it, but Toontown's heavier fish can only be caught by stronger rods. Purchase better rods to catch bigger fish, and help attract rare fish. New rods can be purchased from Clarabelle's Cattlelog. A new, more advanced rod will be for sale every four weeks. More advanced rods will be more expensive to purchase, so save those beans! The Fishing Rods are only available in the 4th, 8th, and 12th Cattlelogs of series 1 and the 3rd, 7th, and 11th Cattlelogs of series 2. If your Toon is already beyond an issue with a rod, you will have to patiently wait for the next fishing rod issue of the Cattlelog. If you are experiencing any problems with this, then contact Disney's ToonTown support.

If you don't buy a rod before it goes to the backorder section of your Cattlelog, it will then cost more jellybeans than is listed below. You are able to store your newly bought rod in your mailbox until you are ready to use it. You can store multiple rods in your mailbox. If you take a heavier rod out of your mailbox than one that is in there, then you'll never be able to use the smaller rod. There is no time limit to how long a rod can stay in your mailbox. Rods listed on fishing guide are the minimum required rod needed to catch that species.

When you've caught 10 new species of fish you'll earn your first fishing trophy—and a one-point Laff boost! For every additional 10 new species you catch, you earn another trophy and Laff boost. This means you'll be able to increase your Toon's Laff limit by seven Laff points by catching all of Toontown's fish.

Every Wednesday is Bingo night at the ponds! Toons at each pond work together to fill out the Bingo card before the clock runs out to win jellybeans. Every hour on the hour, there is a special Super Blockout card. The Super Blockout card is played not only against the clock, but against all of the other ponds in that district. Each Super Blockout starts with a 1000 jellybean jackpot. Every Super Blockout that ends without a winner will increase the jackpot by 100 jellybeans (up to 10,000 jellybeans). Walk up to any available pier between the hours of noon and 9:00 PM, Pacific Time, to participate. Play on any street or playground or invite friends over to your estate. During Bingo hours you will be able to sell fish at your estate.

There are five different types of cards:

Classic

Get any five in a row, across, diagonal, or top to bottom

Three Way

Get both diagonals and the middle

Diagonals

Get only either diagonal

Four Corners

Get the four corners

Super Blockout

Mark all of the spaces
