Flooded Cavern

Fishing spot 24 in Tap Fishing · 30 kinds of fish · catches worth ×80

A sinkhole open to the jungle above. The water is so clear the fish seem to fly.

The Flooded Cavern is harder to open than the other spots. First catch every fish at The Trench, its special fish included, and beat both of its bosses. Then unlock it on the map for 50,000,000 coins. Every catch here is worth 80× what the same rarity pays at the Pond.
