Eels are an Ocean fish, so you’ll want to head down to the🌊 Beach in order to catch one. However, you’ll need to be wary of three things:
- The weather: Eels can only be caught while it’s raining
- The season: Eels can only be caught during Spring or Fall
- The time: Eels can only be caught between 4pm and 2am
However, if you happen t𒊎o have some Magic Bait, you can use this to nᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚegate all of these things.
