Fishing in On-Together is one of those systems that looks simple on the surface but ends up being surprisingly rewarding once you get into it. If you’re trying to earn more tickets for customization, or you just want something calm to do between work sessions, fishing is absolutely worth your time.
This On-Together Fishing Guide is meant to be general and easygoing. It assumes you’re new or just haven’t touched fishing much yet.
Fishing
Fishing is one of the most consistent ways to earn tickets without relying on long sessions or group activities. You can do it solo, at your own pace, and it fits the overall relaxed vibe of the game really well.
Based on info shared by the developers:
- Better bait increases your chances of catching higher-rarity fish
- Stronger rods make reeling easier and give better reach
- Floaters are cosmetic only and don’t affect gameplay
So progression mostly comes down to bait quality and rod upgrades.
How Fishing Actually Works
Step 1: Find Water and Equip Your Rod
Any body of water works, but location matters:
- Ocean water gives saltwater fish
- Ponds and streams give freshwater fish
Press H or click the fishing icon in the top-right corner to pull out your rod.
Step 2: Cast the Line
Left-click to cast.
If you hold the click, you can control how far the hook goes. This becomes more useful once you upgrade rods, since stronger rods give better reach.
Step 3: Hooking the Fish
When a fish bites, you’ll hear a ringing sound and see an exclamation mark.
Left-click immediately.
A timing ring will appear next. You need to click when the fish icon enters the colored section of the ring. Do this successfully twice.
After that, the game switches to a button-mashing phase. You’ll need to spam left-click to reel the fish in. Higher-rarity fish require much faster clicking, and if you’re too slow, the fish will escape.
Step 4: Release the Fish
Once caught, release the fish back into the water. This keeps the ecosystem intact and is just how fishing works in On-Together.
Step 5: Managing Bait and Gear
Eventually, you’ll run out of bait. When that happens, head to the bait shop and talk to the vendor.
You can buy:
- Different types of bait
- Better fishing rods
- Floaters (purely cosmetic)
You can carry up to 40 of each bait type. Gummy worms are the cheapest, while candy-based bait is more expensive but gives better odds for rare fish.
From personal experience, mid-tier bait like candy corn tends to be the best balance. It’s affordable, gives decent ticket returns, and still lets you occasionally pull high-value fish.
Using the Fish Catalogue
Press J to open your fish catalogue.
This menu shows:
- All fish you’ve discovered
- Their rarity (common, rare, epic, legendary, mythic)
- Your currently equipped bait, rod, and floater
You can change your equipment directly from this screen, which makes swapping setups quick and painless.
Higher-quality bait improves your chances of encountering rarer fish. Whether it affects fish size isn’t fully confirmed yet, but rarity is definitely influenced.
Fishing in On-Together isn’t complicated, and that’s what makes it good. It’s a steady, low-stress way to earn tickets while doing something calm and repetitive, which honestly fits the game perfectly.
Once you understand the timing and get used to the clicking phase, it becomes second nature. Grab some bait, upgrade your rod when you can, and just enjoy the loop.
You’re officially ready to fish.
