The casting of your fishing line is you looking down, moving the mouse until a green circle comes up, and then clicking to cast. You’ll need to be persistent since catching theseDeviants can take a few tries.
However, your chances improve during Party and Surge of Fish events. They are marked on the map, where each lasts 30 minutes.
