Dredge, as an adventure and fishing game, features a vast ocean. To survive on the sea, you need to establish a base here and continuously catch various types of fish. This article will focus on where to find the second type of bait, catfish, in Dredge. In addition to sharing what the second type of bait specifically includes, it will also introduce the location of catfish. Although catfish are not a rare species, catching them is still quite challenging and requires mastering certain techniques.

In the game, there are regular baits, and there are also more unique second types of bait. This refers not to a single type of bait but to an entire category. First, there is mutated bait, which is one of the categories of the second type of bait. This bait is mainly used to catch mutated fish. To make this bait, you need to complete the Steel Rig level. After completion, you can go to the nearby factory and put in two Dark Splashes, two Rotten Matter, and one Mixed Bait, then spend 75 coins to successfully make the bait.

Another type of bait is the Pilot Fish Bait, which is primarily used to catch some rarer fish. Players can choose to first sail their boat into the Mangroves, where they can use a fishing rod to catch special fish, and then use these special fish to synthesize the bait. Another type is the Rare Bait. To make this bait, you need to upgrade the factory to level 4, and then simply input the required items to make it. The bait made can be used to fish for some special fish, such as catfish.

Catfish are mainly distributed along the Winding Coast. Overall, catching them is not difficult, as they can be found both in shallow and deep waters. However, catching them can be challenging. Firstly, catfish often appear at night, so you should choose to fish at night. Secondly, the whiskers of catfish are very sensitive and can clearly perceive changes in the surrounding environment. Players need to pause in the area for a while before using the fishing rod to catch the catfish.
Apart from the Winding Coast, catfish also frequently appear near the Mangroves, where many catfish can be seen feeding. You can use a fishing rod or a trawl net to catch them. In addition to regular catfish, there are also mutated varieties like the Nightwing Catfish, which move relatively slowly, making them easier to catch. The area where they appear is rich in resources, with other species such as eels and horseshoe crabs, indicating that players will not return empty-handed even if they do not catch a catfish, as they can still obtain other abundant varieties.

The location of the second type of bait, catfish, in Dredge has been introduced above. Catching catfish is relatively easy, and the areas where they are found can be unlocked during the early stages of the game. Additionally, they can be found in both shallow and deep waters, and sometimes even appear directly on the surface. There are no specific requirements for the fishing rod, trawl net, or boat level when catching catfish. The exception is that to catch a mutated catfish, you need to first obtain the second type of bait. The methods and requirements for obtaining each type of bait have already been shared, and you can try to meet these requirements to increase your chances of catching catfish.
