Final Fantasy XIV: All Ocean Fishing Bait & Fish To Catch

Ocean Fishing is a favorite activity for several players in Final Fantasy XIV. Suppose you’re trying to level a character through the Fisher levels. In that case, it’s also a good activity to gain some substantial levels, making it desirable for many or anyone who wants to hook some achievements.

But you want to make sure you bring the correct bait with you before you set out to the sea. This guide covers all the bait you need to bring with you for Ocean Fishing in Final Fantasy XIV.

How Ocean Fishing Bait Works in Final Fantasy XIV

It’s important to note that your ship will visit various zones while on the route, so you’ll want to make sure you speak with the NPC before boarding the fishing boat to see where you’ll be going. It helps to bring all of the bait with you as you progress through the various routes, but you can always purchase more while on the boat. You can potentially take four routes with three locations in them, each with unique fish.

These are all of the bait you want to bring with you or that you can purchase on the boat.

Krill
Plump Worm
Ragworm
Shrimp Cage Feeder

These are all of the fish you can catch while Ocean Fishing and what routes they appear on, along with the bait you’ll use to catch them.
