While there are plenty of spots to catchnew fish inAnimal Crossing, some are still harder to find than others and require prior knowledge for players to efficiently spend their time catching them. The same can be said of the ray.
The Ray is a large shadow-sized fish, so players should keep that in mind when searching if they don’t want to waste their time with smaller shadow sizes. It isn’t a necessity to avoid smaller shadow sizes, but it will be tedious to deal with smaller fish when players have to work around the vast numbers of sea bass and flounder that can pop up. They can be most commonly found near the pier, not including the bridge leading to theAnimal Crossingairport, and everywhere else in the ocean surrounding the island.
Rays are also only available for certain times andseasonal months inAnimal Crossing. For players located in the northern hemisphere, Rays are available from August to November from 4 am to 9 pm. For players living in the southern hemisphere, Rays can only be found from February to May from 4 pm to 9 am.
