Voodoo Fishin' Guide

Every Voodoo Fishin' guide

Quick answer

Start with the first hour guide if you are new; the tackle, fish and crew sections cover the rest of the game.

This is the full rack of Voodoo Fishin' guides, grouped the way the game actually splits: getting your first rig working, getting the tackle right, finding fish, and surviving a crew night in the swamp.

Start here

Five pages cover the part of the game the tutorial skips. The first hour guide walks the spawn-to-first-upgrade loop. How to cast further fixes the single most common complaint on the Steam forums. Making money covers payouts, bounties and the cheap early income that comes out of loot crates. Tackle loss explains what the swamp keeps when you die. Settings and controls collects the keybinds, camera shake toggle and voice options in one table.

Tackle

The rods guide breaks down Strength, Rebound and Cast Distance, and why the balance pass changed which rod is "best". Reels and water depth is the page to read when the journal promises a fish that never bites. Bait explains rarity ceilings and bait tags. Enchanting covers Auntie Brigitte's pot, enchanted bait and the one-time loss-prevention enchantment for rods and reels. Traders and shops maps every counter in the bayou, and junk covers the loot containers and everything you can do with the trash.

Fish

The fish list has all 18 official species with their binomial names from the achievement list. Habitats and spots teaches you to read water type by eye. The journal guide explains both pages of a fish entry. Map and areas covers the Compass, the named locations and where the traders sit.

Crew and swamp

Dock Quotas and chum and the fish club are the two teamwork systems. Missions and locals covers the 37 jobs and the four locals who hand them out. Monsters and survival is the threat list. Achievements has all 32 of them, and updates tracks what 1.0 added. The FAQ answers the short questions.
