50 documented pre-Islet entries · five campaign stages

Fish, lures & Fishipedia tracker

Find the documented island, rod and bait pairings, then keep a private browser checklist for Collector and drip cleanup.

1.1.0 coverage: a legacy subset, not the full new roster

The Islet Update adds more creatures. These 50 rows preserve the documented pre-Islet catalog and your existing checkmarks; they do not enumerate every 1.1.0 catch. For the Euro-section slot between Char and Mahi-Mahi, use the Fishipedia 61/62 checklist. See islets and euro tasks for the new collection context.

Existing campaign bait pairings

Match the lure tier to the island: Free Lure or Hot Dog at the Lighthouse, Free or Beginner Lure in the Forest, Standard Lure in the Desert, Professional Lure at the Rocks and Scientific Lure at the Volcano. Bosses in this catalog use separate bait. For these documented pre-Islet entries, Drip variants do not have a documented special lure—use the Tab encyclopedia to see what is missing, then hunt the matching creature on its normal island.

Current high-demand routes: Drip Voxelfish uses the Island 4 Professional Lure pool; Bing Bong is a separate Island 3 Coconut Easter egg.

Patch 1.0.10 change: Anglerfish health was reduced slightly. The official note does not publish the old or new health value.

If the lure is correct but nothing bites after you buy the Island 2 rod, use the fish-not-biting guide: hold left click while the hook is in the water before diagnosing bait or co-op state.

Fishipedia cleanup

Drip Voxelfish

Use Island 4, the Fishing Rod and Professional Lure. Current reports include one claimed catch alongside very long dry streaks; no fixed odds or pity count are published.

Easter egg

Bing Bong

Buy the community-reported $350 Coconut from the central palm-tree area on Island 3, equip it as bait and prepare for a dangerous catch.

Lure ladder

Regular catches become simpler after Island 2

Island 1 and Island 2 mix Free Lure, Hot Dog and Beginner Lure. From Island 3 onward, regular catches use one main tier per island: Standard, Professional, then Scientific. Keep boss bait separate from this ladder.

Island	Regular lure
1 · Lighthouse	Free Lure or Hot Dog
2 · Forest	Free Lure, Beginner Lure or Hot Dog
3 · Desert	Standard Lure
4 · Rocks	Professional Lure
5 · Volcano	Scientific Lure

Collector vs Fishipedia

Use the in-game Tab encyclopedia as the authority

Collector asks you to find and kill every creature. Fishipedia asks you to find and kill every drip creature. Drips are visually distinct rare variants; current guide evidence says they use the ordinary creature route rather than a separate lure.

The tracker contains 50 distinct creature entries: 38 ordinary creatures, five mini-bosses, five story bosses, Bing Bong and the final Mutated Bowhead Whale. Use the in-game collection entries to check Collector and Fishipedia completion; the tracker total is not an official achievement requirement.

Collector: 49 or 50 creatures?

50 is this database's entry count, not an official Collector target. Steam describes Collector as finding and killing all creatures without publishing a number. Removing the separately listed Bing Bong Easter egg from these 50 rows leaves 49, but that arithmetic does not establish which creatures the achievement checks.

A September 12 player reports Collector still locked after claiming all 49 kills. The report does not identify a missing creature or a fix. Compare the in-game Tab collection with the names below, and distinguish a caught creature from a recorded kill. Do not assume that catching Bing Bong, deleting progress or repeating every kill will resolve a locked achievement.

What is included in the 50 entries?

Group	Entries	Included encounters
Ordinary creatures	38	Includes Brown Crab, Goby, Bowlfish and Dripper; variants are not separate rows
Mini-bosses	5	Sunfish, The Old Pike, Blue Shark, Tuna and Goblin Shark
Story bosses	5	Spider Crab, Giant Piranha, Pufferfish, Albatross and Bowhead Whale
Optional Easter egg	1	Bing Bong, caught with Coconut
Final boss	1	Mutated Bowhead Whale, counted separately from Bowhead Whale

The earlier 44-row tracker lacked Brown Crab, Goby, Bowlfish, Dripper, Sunfish and Bing Bong. Existing saved checkmarks are kept. For the last missing Drip, try the sprint-fishing and reel-release controls while keeping the in-game collection entry as your completion check.

This page stores checklist choices only in this browser. The “Drip found” control is bookkeeping: mark it only when the in-game encyclopedia shows a drip slot and records the kill. The table does not invent spawn rates, guaranteed farms or boss-specific drip eligibility.

For the last missing dripFilter to its normal island and lure, then repeat that ordinary catch route. The game encyclopedia identifies the missing name but does not publish its island, so this database supplies the location cross-reference.

Using a Drip after you find itTake a confirmed Drip creature to the Reel of Fortune for one random cosmetic skin, then hold the named item and use Z or C to equip it.
