Giant Snakehead

[charmed girl]

I have almost caught all the fish for the month of August, all I need is Giant Snakehead and Soft Shelled Turtle.
Has anyone else had any luck catching these? All I seem to be catching is Sweetfish and Black Bass. Getting so frustrated

I got lucky and caught a Giant Snakehead when it was raining. I STILL haven't caught a single soft-shelled Turtle though.

I've caught a couple of Giant Snakehead. No turtle yet, though, which is a shame because it's the "fish" I most want. D:

I've caught both. Didn't like catching the turtle.

The turtle took forever because there's a lot of grunt fish that size :/

I get snakeheads pretty frequently- there's one spot of my river/lake thing where I don't think I've caught anything BUT snakeheads (there isn't usually a fish in that spot, but whenever there is, it's been a snakehead)


you shouldn't be catching any bass, btw- neither of these fish are bass-sized :/

I was fishing a little bit ago for a nice fish to give to one of my villagers, and I ended up catching 4 soft-shelled turtles. The shadow for them is surprisingly small (medium-sized shadow) compared to how it looks while you're holding it.

I haven't caught the giant snake head for this town, but it's a lake fish and the shadow is pretty large. And apparently it's only found from 9am-4pm.

both. I caught them easy.

I had more trouble with the piranha and saddled bichir.

I didn't catch any of them yet xD I'm too busy working on upgrading super T&T so I can buy bushes at T.I.Y

It took some time to catch the Snakehead, but I used a trick that made it easier. If you don't see a large shadow in your lake, just save and continue. It will reset the fish.

I finally caught the soft shelled turtle!!!! no luck on the snakehead, though will try again tomorrow.

I have caught several snakeheads, but only 1 turtle. What I'm having trouble catching is the centipede, house centipede, scorpion & tarantula. I know where/when they appear, but I just don't seem to have any luck getting them. When I spot a scorpion or tarantula (which isn't very often) they either run off a cliff, dive into the water, disappear or sting/bite me. I might have to TT back to get the tarantula if I can't get it by the end of the month & I hate to TT in either direction.

Still no scorpion either but I caught my second tarantula tonight, the best thing to do is hold the A button while you're sneaking up on it. That's what I did earlier and it worked

I finally caught the turtle yesterday after lots of fruitless fishing. I'd literally catch 10's of dorados and ariapaimas and no turtles. Caught 2 back-to-back just after 5 pm (one for Blathers and one for my desk). Their shadow is the same as the sweetfish, barbel steed, etc. which is probably why it takes so long to find one; those other fish are just so painfully common.

lol same here.

The turtle is a little bit smaller than the Black Bass. (About 11 in. if that helps)

 

[ben_nyc]

I'm missing the turtle... oh better hurry! ^_^

 

[missglorianicole]

I'm usually able to catch the snakehead in the mornings. Just look for giant fish in the river.

Also, the turtle took me forever to find, but if you have patience, you will find it.

I have been very lucky with catching fish, I found a coelacanth in around 10 minutes of searching, accidentally found a char by just fishing casually for a bit, and same for the giant snake head. I was looking for the soft shelled turtle actively and was only looking for around 15-20 minutes and caught that too. Just need to find that turban shell... I looked it up and apparently they come from August to May by diving? Looked a few times for around 20 minutes and haven't found anything.

 

[Joy]

I've caught both multiple times o.o
I've yet to come across a coelacanth though
