How to Catch the Rare Mahi-Mahi Fish
Note: Rare fish are rare spawns which means some may get it soon while other’s may take a little longer. Don’t give up.
The location to catch the rare Mahi-Mahi fish in Animal Crossing New Horizons is the Pier. The Pier is the wooden structure on the beach of your island. Off the Pier you will want to look for extra large shadows that spawn. If they don’t spawn you can scare away the other fishes and use bait to force other fish types to spawn in.
Infinite Fish Bait: If you feel like using a bit of an exploit to preserve your Fish Bait I have one for you. Craft about 5 – 7 Fish Bait and then save and exit your game. Head back into the game and go to the fishing spot. Here you have about 2.5 Minutes to fish before the game autosaves. Before the autosave triggers simply kill the game via the Nintendo Switch homescreen to have essentially infinite Fish Bait. Repeat this process until you’ve caught the fish you desire.
Focus your time trying to catch the extra large shadows you see appear in off the Pier and eventually you will catch the Mahi-Mahi. This is one of a few rare fish players can catch in Animal Crossing New Horizons.
