About the Game
Start out on an island with nothing more than a basic rod. Progress into a radar-wielding master fisher-cat scouring the sea for the biggest and baddest fish. Each fish has unique behaviors that you will learn to exploit as you tailor your arsenal of fishing rods to suit your style of play.
Key Features
- Complete quests to earn cash.
- Unlock better rods to catch more valuable fish.
- Customize your rod with upgrades to suit your play style.
- Unlock boats to travel out onto the sea.
- Find and equip rare hats that dramatically change the dynamic of the game.
- Fill your catalog with the fish you catch.
- Discover what lurks in the dark depths.

Up to date
To celebrate Halloween, we've added a few new fish costumes. We've also finally added the long awaited "Witchy" hat, as well as a new Halloween exclusive fish.
View on Steam
- Now press "Enter" to slow velocity while swimming (instead of "Space"); this no longer drains O2.
- Flicking with an uncooled Magmer on the line now snaps the line.
- Added 3 new fish (one contest winner) and a new hat.
- Phase 100% no longer gets stuck on rocks.
Made swimming a little more fun, made some visual changes, and patched a few bugs. Even added a few fish, but no major content changes. Save files should be more stable, and they are saved redundantly now, but your mileage may vary.
Maybe more to come soon?

Maybe more to come soon?
- Mythic hats are now purchasable after level 45.
- Slightly increased spawn rate for some huge fish.
- Fixed a bug causing Bombats not to bite rocks.
- Fixed a bug preventing the Mamo from being caught.
- Other minor bug fixes.
We decided a new round of performance improvements was overdue. This is a more aggressive version of the last performance patch; we're hoping to make room for an upcoming content update.
In addition to performance improvements, there were a few bug fixes and balance changes:
- improved save file stability
- decreased the value of the Cave Shark and Swordfish
- increase the frequency of storms (during Halloween).
- decreased the Maw's dive depth
- fixed the quest skip bug (for NEW save files)
- fixed some catalog display bugs

- Fixed a bug preventing players from unlocking "Deep Sonar" if they caught ALL fish before completing 30 quests. (Wut.)
- Fixed a bug causing the game to sometimes crash when a Bonefish follows a fish that was following an Anglerfish.
- (Performance): Reduced the range of interactions for all new large fish.
- (Performance): Dumbed down a few of the new large fish; they change targets less frequently.
- Visual: removed controller button sprites until controller is fully supported.
- Swordfish begins fighting sooner.
- Swaller value increased.
- Josie value increased dramatically.
- Josie and Swaller stamina reduced slightly.

New Areas to Explore
Go further than ever before with two new boats! Or go deeper. Below the ocean floor are the caverns, a vast network of caves supporting a variety of habitats. Utilize the new "sinker" rod upgrade and the "deep sonar" tool to scour the depths!
Dozens of New Fish
Discover the Skrimp, Bombat, or Chompy among dozens of new fish. There are two new huge fish lurking in the sea, including the collosal Cave Shark. There are even rumors of giant Nightfish hiding in the caverns.
Better Quests
No more boring quests! The quest system has been updated to prioritize rarer fish once you've gotten a handle on things. Quests to catch multiple fish of the same type are now rarer.

- May have conquered the elusive invisible fish bug.
- UI improvements.
This premier update adds a new challenge to Cat Goes Fishing. The fish are fighting back. Cat's prey will thrall once hooked and attempt to break the line. Reinforce your line and fight with brute strength or cleverly outsmart your flailing foes.
