Check out the detailed Animal Crossing: New Horizons Fishing Tourney event guide

The first event of the new year has arrived in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. On January 8, the game's Fishing Tourney will return, offering you another chance to earn trophies and other special prizes. Everything you need to know about the event is listed here.

How does the  Fishing Tourney event work?

While the Fishing Tourney has been a fixture of the Animal Crossing series since the first game, it works a little differently in New Horizons than it has in previous installments. To enter the competition, first, speak with C.J. in the plaza of your town. You'll have three minutes to catch as many fish as you can after paying a minor registration fee of 500 Animal crossing bells. By the way, If you don't have enough bells, MMOBC would solve your problem, Mmobc.com now is selling cheap ACNH Bells.

Return to C.J. when the time has passed, and he will total up your points based on how many fish you were able to capture. You'll get one point for each fish you catch, with extra points awarded if you catch three or more before the timer runs out.

You can redeem your points for exclusive C.J. fish-themed items like a tackle bag and a fish umbrella. If you reach specific point milestones, you'll be awarded a special trophy. You can enter the tournament as many times as you like until it closes at 6 p.m.

Fishing Tourney event Prizes

C.J. will reward you with a special fish-themed item for every 10 points you win outside of the Fishing Tourney. You won't be able to choose which item to spend your points on because they'll be distributed at random, but you'll get one of each before C.J. starts to give you duplicates. The following is the complete list of prizes:

 • Anchor statue

 • Fish door plate

 • Fish-drying rack

 • Fish pochette

 • Fish-print tee

 • Fishing rod stand

 • Fish rug

 • Fish umbrella

 • Fish wand

 • Fresh cooler

 • Marine pop wall

 • Tackle bag

When you reach certain point milestones, you'll also receive a special fishing trophy, as previously mentioned. Here is a list of all the trophies and how many points you'll need to get them:

 • Bronze Fish Trophy (mailed to your house after amassing 100 points)

 • Silver Fish Trophy (mailed to your house after amassing 200 points)

 • Gold Fish Trophy (mailed to your house after amassing 300 points)

Some Fishing Tourney tips for you

While you can enter the Fishing Tourney on your own, you'll be considerably more effective if you team up with a friend. At the end of the game, the amount of fish caught by each player will be totaled together, making it much easier to rack up points and win rewards.

It's also a good idea to plan ahead of time for the Fishing Tourney by making a lot of bait. Instead of having to run around your island looking for fish spawns, you can simply camp out and fish in one location using this bait. C.J. will also buy any fish you catch for the same higher price he pays when he visits your island, making this a fantastic opportunity to earn some extra bells.
