Claw Fishing Guides Hub
Every walkthrough for Smoothly Sailing's boat-and-claw fishing loop — from your first catch to whale shark hunts.
Welcome to the Claw Fishing Guides Hub for Claw Fishing by Smoothly Sailing. This Roblox experience replaces traditional rod fishing with a mechanical claw mounted on your boat: you drive, lower the claw, grab fish from the ocean, and deposit them in your aquarium where they generate passive money. Up to six players share the same waters, and a tsunami can wipe out careless runs. Every guide below is written for English readers on desktop, mobile, tablet, and console.
If you have never played before, start with Getting Started — it walks through the full loop in order. Returning players can jump straight to the topic they need. The header Guides dropdown shows the top entries and links View all here when the list grows past eight items.
Core loop at a glance
Claw Fishing is built around four repeating steps:
- Drive your boat to fishing zones away from the harbor.
- Lower the claw and time your grab when fish swim within reach.
- Catch fish and secure them on deck without losing them to hazards.
- Put fish in the aquarium so they generate money over time.
Money funds boat and claw upgrades, which let you reach deeper water and heavier rare species. The Aquarium & Money Guide and Best Money Methods explain how to turn catches into steady income instead of one-time sells.

Who these guides are for
New players should read Getting Started, then Controls if anything feels awkward on their device. Mobile and console players often underestimate how much camera angle affects claw accuracy — the controls guide covers that before you frustration-quit.
Mid-game players stuck on income plateaus should pair Upgrades with Best Money Methods and Aquarium & Money. Buying the wrong upgrade first is the most common reason progress feels slow after the first hour.
Rare fish hunters and ranking players should read Rare & Legendary Fish and Leaderboard Top 100 before dedicating sessions to a single target. Legendaries and the Whale Shark require better claw reach, stable boat control, and awareness of tsunami timing — plus Multiplayer Tips when lobbies are crowded.

Frequently Asked Questions
