What’s The Best Way To Catch Them?
- Crafting Fishing bait is a great way to get the catch you want. Craft fishing bait and throw it into the river to attract more fish.
- Verify which shadow you think would be the Soft-Shelled Turtle (remember, it’s a medium shadow) and cast your line near that shadow.
- Make sure it is between 9 AM and 4 PM. Remember, the game’s time is based off what your Switch time is set on.
