The best way to catch fast-moving sea creatures is to sneak up on them. While sneaking up on a fast-moving prey is the best strategy, chasing it into a corner can produce successful catches. While less than ideal, this strategy can be an option if you are not a sneaky fisher. Here are some tactics that can help you catch a fast-moving prey:

Getting a wet suit
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can get a wet suit and go swimming in the ocean! While you can swim in the water without a wet suit, you need it to dive in the ocean! You can use the wet suit to explore the sea creatures and marine life in the deep ocean, and you can even use it to trade for food! You can get a wet suit at the Nooks Cranny shop, too.
Getting a wet suit to catch fish in Animal Crossing New Horizons is easy and fun! All you have to do is collect enough bells to buy a wet suit. Once you have a wet suit, you can go diving and meet Pascal! Pascal will even give you new recipes and DIY projects! You can purchase a wet suit from Nook’s Cranny or through the Nook Shopping app in the game.
Diving for sea creatures
In the game Diving for Sea Creatures, players must learn to swim, dive, and find fast-swimming critters. These creatures are hidden deep within the ocean and can be spotted by following the shadow cast by a bubble column. Each creature will have a unique swimming pattern and bubble column. Once you find them, you can begin collecting them. It is important to know the right tricks for this type of diving.
You can also catch a sea creature while underwater by watching for bubbles. Usually, these creatures are not moving, but if you see one, you should dive in to catch it. Once you reach a sea creature, your camera will change to a top-down view. You then swim into its shadow and resurface with it. If you find it fast, you will need to adjust your speed to catch it.
Finding them
You can find new underwater creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons thanks to the game’s latest update. New underwater creatures like sharks and octopuses have appeared in the game, and Pascal has made a comeback with philosophical pearls of wisdom. However, you still need to time-travel to finish museum exhibitions, and you can’t naturally catch them. In the meantime, you can still earn coins by trading for the rare items you need to complete them.
To find these new sea creatures, you need to swim through the water in any season, as the temperatures can become very cold in the winter. If you catch a sea creature, it will then become available to you in the corresponding Critterpedia, and you can donate it to the Blathers at the Museum. If you’re having a hard time finding a certain creature, check out our guide to find them in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Donating them
Depending on the species, you can even donate the sea creatures to an aquarium. If you catch any of them with your fishing rod, you should take them to the museum for identification. Generally, you should only donate one specimen of a species to a museum, since they will only accept a single specimen per entry. Donating duplicates, however, is fine, as they will be displayed or sold. In addition, you will get interesting information about the species that you donate.
If you’ve ever donated items to the museum in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you probably know how to donate sea creatures. You can choose the location of your museum and upgrade or move it. The “I found a sea creature!” option will disappear after donating 1 sea creature. You can, however, donate multiple sea creatures by using the “Make a donation” option. For instance, if you donate Blathers, you will receive the Blathers’ Tent and can upgrade their tent.
