Voodoo Fishin’ — Missions & progression
Missions & progression. Finish introductory errands first, then prepare the right fish, junk or equipment before accepting timed jobs. Keep mission items out of your sales batch.

Objectives
Delivery jobs and catch-on-the-clock jobs are different. Keep delivery items separate from sale stock. For timed catches, prepare the rig and route first, accept the job, then make the required catches; fish caught beforehand may not count. NPC visits and job availability change, so use the active objective in your game.
Quotas
The quota tracks fish sales toward the next reward; it is not a countdown to failure. Check what actually spawns after reaching a milestone. To replenish a spot, place the chum bucket nearby, turn a fish into chum, then throw the chum into the water.
The Quota Meter displays your progress towards the next upgrade
Sell Fish to raise the Quota Meter
You picked up the Chum Bucket! Place it near an area that's fished out.
Now catch a Fish and bring it to the bucket to turn it into chum.
Throw chum into the water to attract fish. Multiple pieces will attract even more fish.
