Farming Crafting Materials – Materials are really important in this game. You will come across various things that will require crafting. You can acquire crafting materials in exchange for fish.
There are 13 Legendary fish in RDR2, all of them are found at different locations.
Use Baits from General Good Stores – The baits and lures have the fish name written on them that they will attract. This is good for attracting a particular legendary fish.
Throw the fishing line as far as possible – while retracting it will cover a lot of areas when comparing to throwing it at a short distance.
Reel Only When Fish Stops Struggling – If you start reeling as soon as you catch the fish, there’s a chance that the wire will break.
