Fishing Tourney 18 (Dance) is an event featuring 
Chip which utilizes the 
Saltwater Shores location. The event introduces rare types of fish, as well as Dance themed rewards.
The tourney began on September 11th, 2019 and the player could collect fish to complete the challenges and goals until September 17th, 2019 at 5:59am (UTC). The trophy earned for the tourney was available in the player's mailbox from September 17th, 2019 to September 18th, 2019 at 5:59am (UTC).
Fish could be obtained various ways:
- By fishing with the regular fishing rod near sparkling water, for a total of 5-8 spawns per 3-hour rotation. There is a 13% chance for a single spawn to result in capturing two fish at the same time.
- By renting the Golden Rod and using it to fish near sparkling water, for a total of 5-8 spawns per 3-hour rotation. Each spawn will result in capturing two fish at the same time.
- By using the Tourney Throw Net (Sea) to capture x6 random tourney fish.
- By buying a Lg. Tourney Throw Net (Sea) and using it to capture x1
Black Horsehair Crab, x4 Giant Isopods, plus 5 random tourney fish. - By fulfilling requests for villagers at the campsite and receiving fish as a reward.
Fish could be turned in to Chip at any point during the tourney, although once the player had at least 20 fish in their inventory Chip would automatically collect them all.
The player only received one trophy at the end of the event, for the highest level earned.
Any tourney nets left over at the end of the event will stay in the player's inventory and may be used in future fishing tourneys at either location.
