Looking for fishing games, but not the serious ones, more like Dredge, fishing in Stardew or Animal Crossing, stuff like that.
I heard Moonlight Bay wasn’t good, unfortunately.

Cat Goes Fishing
The only fishing game I’ve ever played was The Black Bass on the NES. Being an older game, it has fairly simplistic gameplay that’s actually very similar to the fishing mini games that you see today.
My whole family played the heck out of Super Black Bass! Probably the best fishing I’ve ever had in a game.
Sea of Thieves is amazing and has some decent fishing. Might want to stay in the single player world if you just want cozy, although a sense of (PvP) danger can definitely liven things up too.
I never dared to get into the game, it’s intimidating.
It is if you really want to git gud.
But what it also is is the nicest open sea sailing simulator, with awesome ambience and a fantastic world to just sail around in and do some relaxing things like fishing and just exploring all the islands. Especially in Safer Seas mode.
It has “safe seas” now iirc
Ah, yes, that’s what I meant with single player (or really single ship, since you can play with your friends) mode, couldn’t remember the name
The games I’ve really enjoyed fishing in so far have been:
My Time At Portia Palia Spiritfarer
Of those 3 I’ve easily spent the most time in Portia. I really love the fishing in that game and when you get the super valuable fish you really feel like you earnt it :)
I have Sandrock on PC. Does that also have fishing? 🤔
Yeah it kinda does. It’s this weird sandfishing minigame though with a kind of claw thing that you throw out. Nowhere near as fun as the fishing in Portia imho.
It’s not my cup of tea, so I can’t speak by experience, but a friend of mine tried WEBFISHING and loved it.
Thanks, I’ll check it out, although it looks a bit dated. Let’s see if it catches me (haha…ha…?)
That game is abandoned at the moment.
I don’t think it’s “abandoned,” I think it’s just “done.” It’s like a $5 indie game made by a solo dev, there isn’t an unfinished road map or anything.
Zelda 64
Nice Day for Fishing might be worth checking out. It’s a new game made by the YouTubers Viva La Dirt League. Haven’t played it but looks like a fun twist on a fishing RPG.
Thank you, I’ll try the demo!
I always find myself coming back to Sega Bass Fishing. The old arcade/Dreamcast game.
The Yakuza series has surprisingly fun fishing.
The spearfishing minigame in Y6 was way more fun than I’d expected it to be!
Far Cry 5 strangely has very enjoyable fishing.
The varied enviroment really helps.
You can stand on a leafy, forested river bank with deer grazing nearby in the reeds as the sun rises. It can be the dock of a large lake with boats driving by during the day. Or you can be by a tiny rocky mountain lake shore as the sun sets over the distant hills. It’s can be really relaxing(as long as you’ve cleared the are and aren’t attacked by a wild animal)
Fishing in Red Dead Redemption 2 is very relaxing.
The only game I’ll boot up just to fish in.
RIDICULOUS FISHING
Monster of the deep final Fantasy 15
