One of the main goals in Stardew Valley is to complete the fishing bundles as part of the Community Center restoration. These bundles are found in the Fish Tank and require players to catch specific fish. Successfully completing these bundles not only provides rewards but also advances you in the game. In this guide, I’m going to go over everything you need to know about the Stardew Valley fishing bundles.
Complete List of Stardew Valley Fishing Bundles
Ocean Fish Bundle
Sardine: To catch a Sardine, you’ll need to fish in the Ocean in Spring, Fall, and Winter. You can find this fish before 7 pm. They’re easy to catch due to their relatively high spawn rate.
Tuna: Tuna can be found in the Ocean during Summer and Winter, before 7 pm. They’re a little trickier to catch, but they’re still manageable if you level up fishing and use the proper gear.
Red Snapper: Red Snappers can only be caught in the Ocean during rainy weather and can be found throughout the year except for Spring. They can be caught in the Winter if you use a rain totem.
Tilapia: The Tilapia can be caught before 2 pm in Summer and Fall. This fish is often found in the Ocean in both Pelican Town and Ginger Island.
River Fish Bundle
Sunfish: Sunfish are available from 6 am to 7 pm during Spring and Summer in sunny weather. You can find them in the river, and they are one of the easier fish to catch due to their high spawn rate.
Catfish: Catfish are available in the river and Secret Woods during Spring and Fall, but only on rainy days. They can be hard to catch, so be sure to use the iridium rod and trap bobber.
Shad: Shad can be found in the river, secret woods, and the mountain lake after 9 am, but only during rainy days. They can be caught throughout all seasons except Winter.
