My Fishing Pier's latest update has added the Oil Rig, a new location that gives you access to some powerful and brand-new species. However, there are a couple of questions that most players have regarding fishing here. These mainly range from how to reach the Oil Rig to the variety of fish you can catch at this location.
This article offers a brief guide about the fish at the Oil Rig.
How to reach the Oil Rig in My Fishing Pier

To reach the oil rig, you must first talk to the Family Pond NPC and unlock this pool. The NPC can be found in the town. Teleport to the main town area and walk towards the piers, where you will find him standing on the right side near a pool. The NPC gives you a quest that generally requires catching a fish using a specific bait.
Once you bring him the asked fish, he will give you access to the Family Pond. After getting access to this location, teleport back to the town and enter the Oil Rig teleporter near the bait shop. You should find yourself on the floating rig soon after, surrounded by nothing but the vast ocean.
How to fish at the Oil Rig?

Fishing at the Oil Rig is quite simple. You must wait for the fish to spawn and then cast your line near them. This happens at specific intervals, and the game has a timer that tells you when the next school of fish will spawn. The Oil Rig has a couple of themes that change over time, similar to the Family Pond.
The game sends a notification regarding the fish in the pool and the Oil Rig. This is done frequently to allow players to catch something new. The fish at the Oil Rig fall under these categories:
- Greasy
- Oilfish
- Bioshock
- Rift

Each category has three different fish species under it. They appear when the specific water bait is active. You can check the status by looking at the board on the left side of the Oil Fisher NPC. Below, we have the complete list of fish you can catch here:
Greasy
- Greaseling
- Crankclaw
- Boilercrab
