Labor Day

I noticed that Puck was hanging out in Acre B-4 today. That’s the acre where Candi lives, but more importantly, it’s where I use a glitch to push animals off the bridge and into the river. I don’t recall using the glitch on Puck before, so I figured he was overdue for a good bath.

I was tired of wearing my whirly shirt, so I tried on this green tie-dye shirt at Nookington’s. I decided to buy it and wear it.

Today is Labor Day in the U.S., so I went to visit with Tortimer at the wishing well. He spoke about the holiday, telling me that I shouldn’t work my fingers to the bone for the example.

He also suggested that I could use him as a role model. And hero.

If you haven’t played on Labor Day before, he will give you a shop model. But I got mine many years ago, so I didn’t get it again.

I then found Gulliver washed up on the beach.

After waking him up, he gave me a compass. I think he needs this more than I do, as often as he gets lost.

And since it’s early September, this is the best time of the year to earn big bucks! There are no sea bass in the ocean, so any ocean fish you catch will be worth at least 3,000 bells (as long as you avoid one specific acre–see the September Fishing Guide for more info).

I emptied my pockets and filled them up with fish. I also caught a piece of garbage (a boot), but I dropped it back down for now. (Ursala actually applauded me when I caught it. I may include that in a future video). I kept going until I had 15 fish–that included nine red snappers and six barred knifejaws.

That earned me 57,000 bells. If you have the time, you can keep doing this over and over, earning hundreds of thousands of bells in a relatively short time. If you wait for a rainy day, you’ll also catch coelacanths, which sell for 15,000 bells each. That will really speed things up.

No villagers moved in or out this time, but I’m sure that won’t be the case next time. I’ll see you all then. Happy fishing!
