FischFright 3 is Fisch’s third Halloween event. It went live on October 17, 2026 at 16:00 UTC, and no end date has been announced. The event Bestiary holds 44 entries, all tied to the Caustic Hallow event island. Most of them need a specific candy bait plus the right weather, and a handful also need nighttime, a Frightful Pool, or an admin-triggered event. The weather is what slows you down, so the catches below are grouped by the condition you have to wait for.
Quick answer: Travel to Caustic Hallow through Captain Jack at Moosewood Dock. Equip each fish’s listed bait, then fish in its matching weather, cycle, and Autumn season until “Bestiary: New Catch!” appears.
How to reach Caustic Hallow for FischFright 3
Head to Moosewood Dock and talk to Captain Jack on the Haunted Ship, which is moored on the east side of Moosewood for the event. Choose “I want to Travel” in the dialogue and you’ll sail to Caustic Hallow, the limited-time event island where the Halloween fish live.
Almost every entry also lists Autumn as its preferred season. The one exception is Frightful Casket, which has no season preference.
Bait you need for the FischFright 3 Bestiary
Four candy baits cover nearly the whole list, so stock up on these before you start chasing weather windows.
- Black Licorice is used for 11 entries, including most of the Relics.
- Sour Jelly Candy is used for 9 entries, including Ghoul Nessie.
- Taffy Pieces is used for 7 entries.
- Licorice is used for 4 entries.
- Hallow-Pop, Gobstopper, Candy Corn Cluster, and Magnet each work as an alternate or single-fish bait.
Jack-o-Moon night catches
Jack-o-Moon is the event’s own weather. Every fish in this group also needs the Night cycle, which makes these the slowest entries to finish. The Flying Dutchman, which floats over Caustic Hallow, sells a Jack-o-Moon Totem for 15,000 Treats, one per player.
| Fish | Bait | Where | Trick or Treat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doomed Relic | Black Licorice | Anywhere on event waters | Yes |
| Eldritch Relic | Sour Jelly Candy | Anywhere on event waters | Yes |
| Grim Relic | Black Licorice | Anywhere on event waters | Yes |
| Headless Halibut | Black Licorice | Anywhere on event waters | No |
| Jack-o-Angler | Black Licorice or Hallow-Pop | Anywhere on event waters | Yes |
| Dobhar | Black Licorice | Doomed Frightful Pool | No |
| Ghoul Nessie | Sour Jelly Candy | Spooky Cemetery admin event | No |
Dobhar and the Doomed Frightful Pool
Dobhar’s odds go up in the Doomed Frightful Pool. That’s a swirling red pool that spawns out on the ocean, and the server announces it with a message such as “There is a Doomed Frightful Pool near Harvesters Spike!” Sail to it and cast inside the glow. The pool also turns up Doomed Relics. The event has four Frightful Pool types in total: Vile, Doomed, Grim, and Eldritch.
Ghoul Nessie and the Spooky Cemetery admin event
Ghoul Nessie is a Limited+ catch. It only appears while an admin is running the cemetery event, which is announced in-game as “[ADMIN EVENT] SPOOKY CEMETERY IS HERE! (START FISHING ANYWHERE!)”. While the event is active you can fish anywhere, Caustic Hallow included. Jack-o’ variants of other fish, such as Jack-o’ Coelacanth and Jack-o’ Ghost, also show up during it. Its Bestiary page lists Jack-o-Moon weather, Night, Autumn, and Sour Jelly Candy as its preferences.
Admins trigger the cemetery event manually, and there is no fixed schedule for it. If you see the announcement, drop everything else and fish.
Grim Frightful Pool catches
These four fish can be caught normally, but they have a higher chance of appearing in the Grim Frightful Pool. When that pool spawns, it’s the fastest way to fill out this group.
| Fish | Bait | Weather | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corpse Cod | Sour Jelly Candy | Any | Night |
| Grim Skull | Black Licorice | Clear | Night |
| Poltergeist Perch | Taffy Pieces | Windy | Night |
| Skeleton Sturgeon | Black Licorice | Foggy | Any |
FischFright 3 fish by weather
The rest of the weather-locked fish fall into four buckets. When the sky changes, swap to the matching table and work through it before the weather shifts again.
Foggy weather
| Fish | Bait | Time | Trick or Treat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alchemist Alligator | Sour Jelly Candy | Any | No |
| Gargoyle Grouper | Taffy Pieces or Gobstopper | Night | Yes |
| Vile Relic | Black Licorice | Day | Yes |
| Voodoo Vendace | Sour Jelly Candy or Taffy Pieces | Night | No |

All three rain fish take Sour Jelly Candy, and two of them want daylight. A rainy day lets you clear the whole group without changing bait.
Clear weather
| Fish | Bait | Time | Trick or Treat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Candy Corn Pack | Black Licorice | Day | Yes |
| Jawbreaker Jellyfish | Sour Jelly Candy | Night | Yes |
| Licorice Lamprey | Licorice | Any | Yes |
| Scarecrow Snapper | Taffy Pieces | Any | No |
FischFright 3 catches with no weather requirement
These entries don’t care about the sky, so they’re good filler while you wait for fog, wind, or a Jack-o-Moon. Crypt Crab is the only one here locked to Night.
| Catch | Bait | Time | Trick or Treat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cobweb Cod | Black Licorice or Candy Corn Cluster | Any | No |
| Crypt Crab | Black Licorice or Hallow-Pop | Night | Yes |
| Decayed Dace | Licorice | Any | Yes |
| Graveyard Gudgeon | Taffy Pieces | Any | No |
| Taffy Trout | Taffy Pieces | Any | Yes |
| Frightful Casket | Magnet | Any | No |
| Haunted Eyeball | None listed | Any | No |
| Wooden Stake | None listed | Any | No |
Jagged Bone, Mummy Mackerel, and Tombstone Tuna are also part of the event, but their bait, weather, and timing haven’t been confirmed yet. Several more of the 44 slots are still unnamed. Treat the in-game Bestiary as your checklist for those, since each entry shows its preferences once you’ve discovered it.
Trick or Treating for FischFright 3 fish
Every entry marked “Yes” above can also drop from Trick or Treating. That includes three of the Relics, which you’d otherwise have to fish for under a Jack-o-Moon.
Houses don’t hand out a fish every time, and you can knock on several doors in a row without getting one. Fishing with the right bait is the more reliable route to 100 percent. Trick or Treating is best used as a side source, and it also earns Treats, the event currency.
How to confirm a FischFright 3 Bestiary entry
A first catch pops a “Bestiary: New Catch!” notification on screen. If the fish is also shiny, a second “Bestiary: New First Shiny Discovery!” message follows. Open the Bestiary afterward and the new entry lists “Location: FischFright 3” along with its preferred weather, cycle, season, and bait, plus your catch count and largest weight.
Only fish you reel in yourself count. A fish you get through a trade from another player doesn’t add to your completion percentage, so every entry above has to come off your own line or out of your own Candy Bucket.
