Fishing

Toons fishing

Fishing is an activity in Toontown in which toons catch and sell fish. It is a very useful method of getting jellybeans. There are seventy fish species to find, seven trophies to receive, and consequently seven possible laff boosts. Fishing came out on the Test Server on October 30th, 2003, and was publically released on November 14th, 2003.

Each cast costs one to five jellybeans, depending on the type of fishing rod the toon is using.

Toons are able to catch other objects while fishing, such as old boots and additional jellybeans from jellybean jars. The old boot is only useful in Fishing Bingo, where it can be used to fill any space on the board. The amount of additional jellybeans toons may receive depend on the fishing rod the toon is using.

Ponds

The fishing pond in the Donald's Dreamland playground

Ponds are where toons go to fish. There are ponds in all playgrounds, streets, and estates. To use a fishing pond, just walk up to an un-occupied dock; your toon will automatically pull out their fishing rod, and you may begin to fish. Each pond has two fishing shadows, with the exception of the toon's estate, which has three. The goal is to land on these shadows, in order to catch a fish or an object.

Fishing rods

There are five rods in Toontown. Each toon starts out with the weakest rod: the Twig Rod. Toons can purchase stronger fishing rods through Clarabelle's Cattlelog. Stronger fishing rods will be able to catch rarer fish but will use more jellybeans for each cast. The gold rod is the strongest rod. The order of the least advanced rods to the most advanced rods is listed below:

1. Twig Rod - 1 jellybean per cast
2. Bamboo Rod - 2 jellybeans per cast
3. Hardwood Rod - 3 jellybeans per cast
4. Steel Rod - 4 jellybeans per cast
5. Gold Rod - 5 jellybeans per cast

Fish bingo

Main article: Fishing Bingo

Fish Bingo is an event that takes place every Wednesday and Saturday. Toons work together at the pond to fill a bingo card shown at the bottom right of the screen. As toons catch fish, they can mark the corresponding spot, indicated by the spot flashing red. When a toon catches an old boot, they may use that to fill in any spot on the card.

There are a few different bingo cards. Depending on the bingo card, toons can win a different amount of jellybeans. The lowest amount of jellybeans toons can earn from Fish Bingo is 10 jellybeans, while the highest amount is 10,000 jellybeans.

Trophies

All the seven trophies.

For every ten new species that a toon catches, he or she will earn a trophy. There are seven trophies, and each one gives one point laff boost. Seven laff point boosts can be earned from fishing.

All the trophies' in a list from lowest to highest:

• Guppy
• Minnow
• Fish
• Flying Fish
• Shark
• Swordfish
• Killer Whale
