Bubbles In Water?

[Melody]

Hey soo, Ive been doing alot of fishing but I see something that I haven't seen before.
On the dock at the beach next to the fish guy's house, there are bubbles in the water. Ive been fishing there for a couple minutes but havent gotten anything special.
Do these do anything or?

[Melody]

Ah, alrighty then. Continue if you must haha.

Well I just started a new game because I really thought willy mentioned something about bubbles, but, no.

[Thorstorm]

The bubbles in the ocean raise the chances to get a chest, I've been fishing A LOT and I'm pretty sure about it.
As for the bite raise, I don't see much difference as I use baits most of the time and they're pretty fast to bite.

Woah guys, chill. All I asked was what they do, there's no need to argue with one another. o.O

Argument are the main course of the forum. As long as everybody keep it civil, it's good enough. Even better If something usefull come out from it. Heated argument are not always a bad one, just happen that heated argument prone to swearing, rudeness, and other unwanted behaviors. So far so good i guess

I dont know why but I was SURE I read the information about bubbles in game, but starting over and then finding bubbles doesnt bring up any messages either :-(

Maybe an earlier version?

RE: Perfect catch.

I often get 'New Record' on a Perfect catch, so I think it gives you a large fish, and thus a higher star rating.

Precisely why i quote guide instead of wiki. Found nothing over there. Regardless, it seems we're all agree that both perfect and bubbles in the water are helpful.

I just fished a bubble spot, and all six fish I caught from it was gold. When the spot disappeared, the next fish was silver. This isn't concrete proof, it's one incident, but to me it seems the bubbles improve quality. I'll update if there's a change in the data.

[Melody]

All the bubbles do is increase the rate in which you find fish. I realized this after experimenting for a week.

[Darkwood]

For me, I think the bubbles increase bite rate. Since I only sometimes use bait I've noticed this.

For the Perfect (as in, keeping the fish in the green bar), since it gives you extra points on the Fall Festival thing they have, I think that it probably increases the number of experience points you get. I've never noticed an increase in quality of fish.

In case any of you are still wondering a year later, the perfect lets you get a few things in the chests that you couldn't get if you didn't hit it perfect.

As far as i know, that bubbles raise your bite rate, to put it simple, it reduce your wait time for each cast. Not so sure about other effects

Ah okay. And what does "Perfect!" do? Is it just a fun thing to get or does it like, catch you a better fish or give you a higher quality fish?

In my experience, every time I get a max cast with the iridium rod and a perfect catch, I get an iridium quality fish. If I don't get the perfect catch, it's gold. And I've tested it like 100 times in a row and I was able to guess the quality of my fish every single time.

How do people find these old threads to bump like this?

The base quality of a fish depends on how far away from land you reached with your bobber. Getting a Perfect catch will increase the quality of the fish (so Silver -> Gold, Gold -> Iridium).
With a high enough fishing level, and in the right spots, you will ONLY ever catch Gold quality fish, which become iridium with a Perfect catch. This mechanic was added in the 1.4 update, prior to which iridium fish didn't exist at all.

Yeah, right? I haven't thought about Stardew fishing in years.

bro I'm pretty sure that the person you're responding to, when they posted this, iridium quality fish weren't even a thing... You're answering questions that weren't even asked
