Fishing in Fortnite can be fun when you’re unbothered, but if you’re in a pinch, then this player’s neat trick can show you how to instantly catch fish in seconds.
Fishing was introduced in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 1, letting players do exactly as the name implies, provided they had the proper equipment.
