Released on March 30, Dredge is the latest action-adventure fishing simulator that’s caught the eye of avid gamers across platforms. Within a single-player RPG set-up, your objective is to explore the ocean’s depths, sell your catch, and upgrade your trawler.
However, it quickly becomes apparent that there is much more lurking beneath the ocean’s surface than meets the eye. Referred to as aberrations , certain monstrous fish can be caught in addition to your run-of-the-mill crabs and anchovies.
This is a far cry from fishing features we’ve seen in other titles like Cult of the Lamb . Catching every aberration in Dredge is no easy feat, and new players are in search of ways to do it.

To use the mixed-bait method in Dredge, follow these steps:
In order to practice the mixed-bait method for catching aberrations in Dredge, you will first need to unlock and obtain mixed bait by completing the Twisted Strand questline.
With the use of mixed bait, all fish local to the area will be fished up. According to Borg2011 , this is useful when fishing in the open ocean, as finding specific spawn locations for aberrations can be tough.

While some aberrations may be easier to find and catch in Dredge, others are much more difficult to obtain.
