Fishing

Fishing first appeared as a fully fleshed-out activity in Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2, and it is set to return in GTA 6.

During the July 2026 preview event, TGG got confirmation directly from Rob Nelson, current head of development and co-studio head at Rockstar North, that fishing returns in GTA 6 and will be as detailed as it was in Red Dead Redemption 2.

However, one major difference is that players won’t be able to keep the fish they catch, as fishing is a “catch and release” activity. Nelson also said fishing is mainly for fun, but it also has narrative significance, with challenges and collectibles tied to it.

In the GTA 6 Extended Look, we saw Jason, Lucia, and Cal fishing and drinking beer on the Lure Predator L35P during a narrative sequence.

Fishing has been explicitly mentioned in Mount Kalaga’s official description:

A national landmark up against the state’s northern border, Mount Kalaga offers prime hunting, fishing, and off-road trails.

In one of the official screenshots, Jason is shown using a fishing rod alongside Cal Hampton on a boat in Leonida Keys. Given the abundance of coastal regions in Leonida, fishing would be a natural fit for the setting, especially when it already exists in a fairly detailed form in Red Dead Redemption 2.
