The Great White Shark will spawn at the sea, near the pier or somewhere else. You will notice a large shadow that is finned. Its appearance is quite reminiscent of the Jaws movie, but in a significantly less terrifying way. When you see it, simply use the fishing rod as usual, wait for the shark to bite and reel it in when it does.

Once you catch this prized shark, you can sell it for 15,000 Bells. If you’d like to sell it for more, then try selling them to CJ for a higher price later.

Make sure to use fish bait to attract fish and catch them. Note that the Great White Shark is quite a rare fish so if you are really lucky, you might get it on your first attempt. If not, keep trying during the months of June to September and eventually might catch one or more. As of now, there is no known method to increase the spawn rate of this shark.

That’s everything about the Great White Shark in Animal Crossing New Horizons. For more information about other creatures in the game as well as tips to make the best island ever, check out our ACNH guides.
