You cannot recycle the Joja cola, however it can be a great gift for Sam as he is the only NPC that likes it.Trash sometimes get turned into ore, and driftwood can be turned into coal, etc. Learn where and when to find each fish and complete your collection today.

The pond by the Mine is different than the pond by the Wizard's Tower. Treasure can be basically any mineral artifact or even trash (sometimes fish bait). When the smaller progress bar fills, you can gain the treasure at the end of the activity, but only if you also catch the fish. If the green brick is held under the chest icon, a smaller progress bar will appear over the chest to display your progress towards also getting treasure. Occasionally, a red chest icon will appear in the vertical bar on the left with the fish icon. When the catch meter is full, the fish will be caught. Try to keep the fish inside of the brick as much as possible to raise the catch meter. For the guide to catch all fish, see Fishing Strategy.Clicking and holding the left mouse button will move the green brick up, and releasing the mouse button will cause the brick to drop. The bar on the right is your catch progress, filling as the fish icon stays over the green brick on the left, and falling when the fish icon isn't. A vertical bar with a fish icon and a green brick will appear on the screen next to a vertical progress bar.The Hit! text will display next to your bobber to show that you've hooked a fish. Wait for an exclamation point to appear next to your bobber and click the left mouse button.Release the left mouse button to throw your line. A progress bar will fill and empty, moving from colors red to green, to determine how far your bobber will be thrown, with red being closest to the player and green being furthest. Press and hold the left mouse button to use the fishing rod.Equip a rod while standing next to a body of water.Luremaster - crab pots no longer need bait.Mariner - crab pots never catch trash items.Pirate - chance to find treasure while fishing doubled.Trapper - resources needed to craft crab pots reduced.Your fishing rod does not factor into your fishing skill, it only allows you to attach bait and lures which can 'customize' your fishing needs (keeping the fish in the green brick, make it easier to catch treasure, etc.).Your skill level will gradually make your green brick wider (fishing bar), allowing you to catch fish easier at higher levels.You gain fishing experience from both using the fishing rod and using crab pots.
