Where and when can I find Striped Sturgeon in Palia?

I caught my Striped Sturgeon at 3am, and after that, I couldn’t catch it anymore, so I would say that’s the limit if you go fishing at night. Head to the Lagoon as the sky starts to get dark and you should have enough time to catch your Striped Sturgeon.

All you need to do is buy a worm at the general store if you don’t have a worm farm yet. Head to the Fisherman’s Lagoon and left-click to launch the bait and start fishing. Once the fish bites, wait for it to strongly pull the string to left-click again.

It will try to flee by going left to right quicker than the common fish, so don’t panic, and take your time so you don’t lose the fish. Reel in only when the marker is green and try to predict his movement. It won’t jump out of the water as well, so there’s one less thing to worry about when reeling it in.

Nothing will indicate that the fish you’ve hooked is the Striped Sturgeon, so you’ll have to try again if it isn’t. The place you fish from the Fisherman’s Lagoon won’t make a difference when fishing for a Striped Sturgeon, so don’t feel the need to move around. Just stay patient, keep fishing, and you should get your Striped Sturgeon shortly.
