Dredge can be considered an encyclopedia of marine life. In this game, you will have a brand new understanding of marine creatures. The lanternfish is one type of marine creature, and many people may not know what a lanternfish actually is. Today, I will share with you the location of the lanternfish in Dredge as well as related information about it. You can prepare your tools and go fishing based on the location I provide.

The name "lanternfish" might sound unfamiliar to gamers, but its other name, anglerfish, should be more familiar. The reason anglerfish are also called lanternfish is due to the structure on their head, which resembles a lantern.
Lanternfish only appear in the Stirling Bay area. If you want to catch one, you must go to Stirling Bay. However, to catch an anglerfish, you need to meet certain conditions.

1. Unlock Stirling Bay
Due to the location of the lanternfish, to catch it, you must first unlock the Stirling Bay area. The method to unlock it is very simple; just keep advancing through the main storyline.
2. Specific waters where they appear
Although lanternfish only appear in Stirling Bay, there are specific requirements for the waters where they appear. This fish is a deep-sea species, so it can only be found in deep waters, not in shallow or near-shore areas.

3. Time restrictions and required tools
The good thing about catching lanternfish is that there is no specific time requirement, meaning you can catch them during the day or at night. When choosing the fishing tool, you need to use a special rod designed for catching lanternfish. If you haven't researched and crafted the specific rod, you won't be able to catch it. Some may wonder if a trawl net could work, but I'm here to tell you that trawl nets cannot catch anglerfish. It's recommended to complete the researcher tasks first, unlock the specific rod, and then head to the deep sea area.
After completing all the preparations, you can go and catch the lanternfish. While fishing, observe the water surface. If you see small white dots, it means there are lanternfish present, and you can definitely catch them there.
