How to Catch the Sandslasher in Fisch Fischfest (2026)

The Sandslasher is the headline catch of Fischfest, the summer event running in Fisch on Roblox from June 20, 2026 through September 5, 2026. It sells for an average of 25,500 C$, far above any other event fish, which makes it the most lucrative species at the beach plaza. Hooking it comes down to matching three conditions at once and using the right bait.

Quick answer: Fish at the Fischfest beach plaza during daytime, foggy weather using Beached Pearl bait. The summer season is fixed at the plaza, so once it is day and foggy with that bait equipped, the Sandslasher can appear.

Sandslasher catch requirements

Every Fischfest fish has a fixed set of favorable conditions, and the Sandslasher needs all of its conditions lined up together. Because the plaza is permanently locked to summer for the length of the event, the season requirement is always satisfied while you are there. That leaves time of day, weather, and bait as the variables you control.

Requirement	Value
Bait	Beached Pearl
Time of day	Day
Weather	Foggy
Season	Summer (fixed at the plaza)
Location	Fischfest beach plaza
Average sell value	25,500 C$

Reach the Fischfest beach plaza

Load into Fisch after the event has gone live and confirm the game has updated to the Fischfest version. You will know the event is active when the Magic Conch appears in your inventory.

Open your inventory and use the Magic Conch. This teleports you straight to the summer plaza, where the season stays set to summer the entire time.

Once you arrive, you are already in the correct season zone. There is no level gate or quest needed; just stand at the plaza and fish.

Catch the Sandslasher

Equip Beached Pearl as your bait. This is the specific bait tied to the Sandslasher, and other baits will not bring it up.

Wait for the weather to turn foggy and confirm it is daytime. Both must be true at the same moment, so if the sky is clear or it has turned to night, hold off until the foggy daytime window comes around.

Cast from the shoreline at the plaza and keep fishing through the foggy daytime window. The Sandslasher is a high-value catch, so a rod with strong Luck improves your odds of pulling rarer fish.

Tip: The Popsicle Rod carries 150% Luck, the highest among the event rods, which raises the chance of hooking higher-rarity species like the Sandslasher. The Paper Fan Rod and Tidal Wave Rod work as well, but they trade luck for weight capacity and control.

Confirm the catch and why it fails

You will know it worked when the Sandslasher registers in your Fischfest bestiary and shows the 25,500 C$ average sell value. The bestiary entry filling in is the clearest sign that the catch counted toward event completion.

If it never appears, check these conditions in order. They are the usual reasons the Sandslasher does not show up.

You are not using Beached Pearl bait.
The weather is not foggy at the time you cast.
It is nighttime instead of day.
You are fishing outside the Fischfest plaza, where the summer season is not locked in.

Since the Sandslasher leaves the game once Fischfest closes on September 5, 2026, it is worth chasing the foggy daytime windows early rather than waiting until the final days. Bank a stack of Beached Pearl bait, keep a high-Luck rod ready, and you can secure the most valuable fish of the summer well before the plaza disappears.
