Black Hole Fishing Beginner Guide

Your first goal in Black Hole Fishing is simple: scare fish into the black hole, earn money, and grow stronger. This page focuses on the first hour of play so you can reach a stable loop with minimal wasted upgrades.

🎯 Step-by-Step Beginner Steps

Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting started in Black Hole Fishing:

  1. Start Throwing Stones

    • Right-click stones near the pond to launch them across the water.
    • Aim to scare fish toward the black hole. The more fish you scare in, the faster the black hole grows.
    • Initially, focus on catching small fish; they’re easier to get and help you reach level 5 quickly.

  2. Upgrade the Black Hole to Level 5

    • Use the money you earn to upgrade the black hole.
    • Each level gives you a 1.25x money multiplier, so reaching level 5 is crucial for early profit.
    • Don’t spend too much on other upgrades yet; keep upgrading the black hole until you hit level 5.

  3. Buy Your First Auto-Stocker

    • Once you’re at level 5, buy an Auto-Stocker (Stalker).
    • Auto-Stockers automatically replenish fish in the pond, so you don’t have to manually throw stones all the time.
    • Upgrade the Auto-Stocker to level 5 as well; this will give you a steady supply of fish for the black hole.
