Animal Crossing New Horizons Mahi Mahi Pier

Mahi Mahi Location

Replacing the Tuna and Blue Marlin that departed with the conclusion of April, the Mahi Mahi is one of the new pier-only fish you will find in Animal Crossing New Horizons.

As you may recall from trying to hunt down those other pier-specific fish, they are super rare and tough to find, so this one might take a while. Using fish bait to quicken the spawning process will be your best bet, along with patience.

As is customary with other fishing endeavors, you will want to steady your aim directly in front of the shadow of the fish, making sure not to readjust if the target has spotted your lure.

Waiting for the lure to dip below the water before quickly hitting the A button will mean the difference between excitement and disappointment.

Since this fish will be so rare to find, it comes with a high Bell price of 6000 Bells for those lucky enough to reel it in.

If using the drop-off box, that would calculate down to 4800 Bells, or if CJ just so happens to be in town you will be able to haul in a cool 7200 Bells for your trouble.

That about sums up everything you’d need to know about how to catch Mahi Mahi in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Check out the wiki for more guides for all titles, or search Twinfinite for all your video game needs!
