Aim for pirates treasures and keep on fishing until your basket is full and your rucksack has 8 of it. Be patient as this takes a while but it automatically makes you 380,000 richer. just make sure you only do this once because doing this once lessens your wife's heart by three, and all of the townspeople as well, but doing this for the second time will decrease your wife's heart points by 100%. there, enjoy fishing!
