In Like A Dragon Ishin, you can always take a break from deadly fights and go fishing. Since the game features various mini-games that can captivate you for several hours. The fishing mini-game will not only help you farm Virtue, but also allow you to cook your own food. It is introduced early in the game, but doesn’t help the player much in how they can catch fish. If you have already started fishing, but you are not able to catch a fish, then we will support you.

To catch a Fish or any other creature in Like a Dragon Ishin, you have to wait until the shadow turns red. And for this you will need to cast a line in front of the white shadow. Once you successfully lure the fish, the shadow will turn red and your console will vibrate. After that press the hint button i.e. X or A and you are done. However, you won’t be able to play the fishing mini-game until you reach the second chapter of The Man Called Saito. And then move forward until the character wakes up in the Teradaya tavern. As soon as this happens, in the southeast direction from the tavern you will see the Uji River. Just interact with him, grab the Easy Starter and start fishing.
As mentioned earlier, here you will need to aim in front of the white blob, and this will help. You can also improve your chances by purchasing the best fishing rod at the Shinto Shrine. For reference, below are all the fishing rods available in the game.
