Start fishing at the Lakefront

Talk to Fisherman Herb at the Lakefront; the Old Fishing Rod is given after the first conversation. Before casting, equip the rod with bait suited to that body of water, then wait for a bite to start the fishing minigame.

During the minigame, click repeatedly while the arrow is over the blue bar until the progress bar fills. Herb’s “Casting your Line” task is listed at Town South–Lakefront and asks you to show him a Ghost Flounder and a Fog Eel; the task entry notes Leech bait for Fog Eel.
