Can you get a Chub at the Traveling Cart?

[Lefty]

I'm trying to complete the community center quest thing and one thing I need is a Chub, but im REALLY bad at fishing (if you have any tips) and I wanted to know if I can get the Chub from the Traveling Cart, and yes I've read the wiki but I just wanted to double check incase it's wrong.

So if you know please reply, Thanks

Are you intending to get all of the fish by the cart? You'll be there a while - there are a LOT of fish to catch for the CC. Take less time and effort if you learned to fish - no joke. (It's also a good income when you start out).

Start by catching easy fish like carp in the lake by the mine or sardines etc. from the pier. Put out lots of crab pots. Eat fishing related dishes to make it easier (eg: Dish-O-The-Sea). It won't take long. The fishing bar gets much longer and easier to manage once you get to iridium rod and cork floats etc.

(As far as I know there are also mods available if you're time poor.)

The chub can be caught in the lake by the mines. I don't remember them being too difficult. Also I wouldn't recommend avoiding fishing for too long. I did that at first and it took me a few years to realize that it gets easier.

I would assume you can get any fish from the traveling cart. I wouldn't spend the money on a chub though. Puffer fish are far more difficult to catch.

I hate the fishing mini game myself. To make things easier until you level up and get a better fishing pole:

1. buy trout soup from Willy. It's only +1 to fishing for a short while but it helps at lower levels
2. fish at the lake near the mines and just wait for carp to bite. Carp are the easiest to catch, they hardly move.
3. wait until you upgrade your axe and can access the secret forest. The pond these has mostly carp on sunny days. It's the easiest place to fish.
4. invest in crab pots. I tried this but found it fairly slow. You'll level up fishing faster by focusing on carp.

I'm pretty sure the chub is one of the 10 easiest fish in the game to catch... I would think you'd have more problems with other fish.

That said, I think there's another person in the sewers who sells fish one day a week...

Thanks Im getting better at fishing and I should hopefully be able to finish the community center quest quicker now.

You can catch a lot of chub in the river south of town near the place where you go down to the ocean. I've had days that I catch nothing but chub there. Occassional smallmouth bass or sunfish, but there's always lots of chub there.
