Fishing

Fishing is a minigame introduced in Yakuza 3 and returning in subsequent games. It is divided into Sea Fishing and River Fishing, the latter of which was introduced in Yakuza 5.
It is part of the Minigames Challenge. Completion usually requires catching every type of fish, including trash like broken umbrellas, coral, and metal barrels.
==Gameplay==
===Yakuza 3===
The fishing spot is on Morning Glory Beach
Eight (8) types of fish must be caught. Fish and sea snails stack to 99 in the hideout's item list, but coral and umbrellas do not.
Catching a tuna is one way to complete the Sea Bream Strongarm substory.
===Yakuza 4===
The fishing spot is at the Fishing Pier
Twenty-three (23) types of fish must be caught. Fish do not stack in the hideout's item list.
Catching a squid and a marlin is necessary to complete the Modding Challenge.
Fishing successfully at least three times is necessary to complete Saejima's substories.
Bait can be bought from the Fisherman at the Docks.
===Yakuza Dead Souls===

Twenty (20) types of fish must be caught.
Catching a zombie (Esper Ito) is necessary to complete other minigame challenges.

===Yakuza 0===
The fishing spot is on the Sotenbori Footpath.
Catching a Salmon, a Soft-shell Turtle and an Eel is necessary to complete a substory in Sotenbori.
In the Kamurocho region, the sea fishing spot is from the Pier, accessible via taxi.
== Bait ==
Bait, used to catch fish, is sold at various specialized vendors in the series. Though it can be used in the same manner as any recovery (food or health) item, by selecting and using it from the inventory, doing so with most bait depletes the health bar of the currently active character. Some food items, such as onigiri, buns, or bentos, can also be used for bait.
===Yakuza 3===
Worms can also be picked up next to the seesaw at Morning Glory Orphanage.
