Updated Date :

Animal Crossing New Horizons brings so many new elements to the game, one of these is in the shape of CJ an NPC who organizes fishing tournaments. If you want to take part in one, this guide will show you when CJ appears and how to win his fishing tournament.

How To Find CJ In Animal Crossing New Horizons

CJ is a bit of an oddball, he rarely appears and you cannot depend on him to show up when you need him the most. CJ is a beaver and this should narrow it down for a lot of people.

To find him, there is a set day when he appears, CJ will show you on your island only on every third Saturday of each month, but his spawn point is random so finding him can be a hassle and you will have to search almost everywhere.

Once you find him, he will organize a fishing tournament, this fishing tournament can be hard but you can learn how to master it and win the tournament.

How To Win CJ’s Fishing Tournament In Animal Crossing New Horizons

There are about two tournaments that CJ hosts that we know of as of right now, one is the simpler time trial tournament where all you have to do is catch as many fishes as you can in the given time. This is simple enough and the time starts as soon as you grab your fishing rod.

The second tournament is however hard, this involves you catching three fishes of the same size, the problem here is the fact that you do not know how big the fish is until you catch it. The only guess you can make is from the silhouette that you can see from outside the water.

This can easily throw you off your judgment but makes for a great way to spend some time in Animal Crossing New Horizons.
