Catching Santa Present is one of the required steps in the Fischmas update in Fisch, and it is also one of the most confusing parts for many players. The game does not clearly explain what counts as a Santa Present, where to find it, or how to increase your chances. This guide breaks down exactly how Santa Presents work and the fastest way to catch them without wasting time. Also check out our Fisch Codes for more rewards!
What Is Santa Present in Fisch?
Santa Present is a quest-related fish item, not the normal present you see during abundance events. Many players get stuck because they try to fish from present abundance spots, which does not count for the Santa quest. Key things to know:
- Santa Present is a separate catch
- It does not come from present abundance
- It can be fished almost anywhere
Where to Catch Santa Present
You can catch Santa Present in most fishing spots, including:
- Village river area
- Carol Pond
- Open water near the Fischmas village
There is no special zone required. However, fishing near the village tends to be more convenient since you can quickly return to Santa after catching them.
Best Rod and Bait to Use
While Santa Present can be caught with any rod, using the right setup makes a huge difference.
Recommended setup:
- Magnet Rod
- Magnet Bait
This combination significantly increases your chance of hooking Santa Present because it prioritizes special and non-fish items.
Important notes:
- The presents you need are slightly larger than normal event presents
- They show up as individual catches, not clusters
- Each catch counts as one, no double rewards
How Many Santa Presents You Need
For the Santa quest, you need to catch:
- 3 Santa Presents
You must personally fish them:
- Trading does not count
- Other players cannot give them to you
- Each present must be caught individually
Rewards for Completing the Santa Present Quest
After turning in the quest, Santa rewards you with:
- Santa’s Lantern
This item is cosmetic but is part of the Fischmas progression and proof that you are moving forward in the storyline.
Catching Santa Present in Fisch is simple once you know what you are actually looking for. Ignore present abundance events, use the Magnet Rod setup, and fish normally around the village. With the right approach, this quest becomes one of the fastest parts of the entire Fischmas update instead of one of the most frustrating.
