To go with the new Sonar Bobber in Stardew Valley, there is a new fish to catch in the forest waterways. However, the Goby’s location is surprisingly tricky and may leave fishers frustrated. The Goby is one of several new creatures lurking in the waters of Stardew Valley. Unlike the three new Jellies, this little fish has a unique preference for waterfalls. To successfully catch a Goby, players will need a good fishing rod, some bait, and a bit of patience. In this guide, we'll explore everything you need to know about catching a Goby in Stardew Valley.
To find the Goby in Stardew Valley, head to the bottom-left portion of the Cindersap Forest, where the river transforms into waterfalls flowing into the ocean. This unique habitat is the Goby's preferred location, as indicated on the accompanying map.
Players can catch the Goby during any season, but it’s crucial to fish during the afternoon for the best results. Our experience showed that they start biting after 12 PM, making it essential to time your fishing trips correctly.
To catch a Goby in Stardew Valley, you will need to cast your fishing line off the edge of the waterfall into the mist below. Aim to place the bobber as close to the waterfall's edge as possible. If your line lands in the lake above or beyond the waterfall, the Goby won’t bite.
Using the Sonar Bobber or Curiosity Lure with Goby Bait is highly recommended, as the Goby has a low catch rate. Without tackle, your chance is only 15%, but it improves to 30% with the Curiosity Lure and 35% using Goby Bait. When both the Curiosity Lure and Goby Bait are combined, your odds dramatically increase to 55%!
While the Goby isn't edible and can inflict between 56 and 162 poison damage, it is a lucrative catch for players looking to make money. The selling price of a Goby ranges from 150 to 300, depending on its quality, and players can enjoy additional bonuses from the Fisher and Angler boosts from their Fishing Skill.
With the new update, Stardew Valley 1.6 is now available on PC. For those eager to expand their farming knowledge, check out our guide to building the perfect Meadowlands farm!
