Fish It Ghost Shark Guide 2025: How To Get the Secret Ghost Shark in Roblox Fish

The Ghost Shark is one of the hardest Secret fish to pull in Roblox Fish It, and most players never see one without the right setup. It only appears in the Ocean, and the odds are rough unless you stack luck boosts and fish during the Ghost Shark event. In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to make the grind actually worthwhile. We’ll break down the recommended rods, bait, enchants, potions, and the exact routine you should follow when the event starts so you can give yourself the best possible chance of landing this rare catch.

Ghost Shark at a Glance

Quick facts

• Game: Roblox Fish It
• Rarity: Secret
• Location/Biome: Ocean (the global sea around the islands)
• Base odds: ~1 / 500,000 per cast (community research & calculator)
• Type: Secret “big shark” style fish, visually translucent according to recent guides/screenshots
• Spawns:
  • Always tied to the Ocean biome
  • Massively boosted and sometimes treated as event-only during the Ghost Shark event

Because it’s a Secret fish, Ghost Shark sits alongside monsters like Megalodon, Worm Fish, Blob Shark and other ultra-rares that share the Ocean pool.

How Secret Fish Work in Fish It (Why Ghost Shark Is So Painful)

Before focusing on Ghost Shark itself, you need to understand how Secret fish behave:

• Secret fish are the rarest tier in Fish It, with spawn rates far lower than Mythic or Legendary.
• They only appear if:
  • You’re fishing in their correct biome/location (Ghost Shark = Ocean).
  • Your rod class is high enough to hook Secret rarity.
  • You have enough Luck to make the odds even remotely playable.

For Ghost Shark specifically, community tools estimate roughly 1 in 500k base odds. That’s the chance before your luck stats kick in.

So if you’re using a weak rod or no luck setup, you’re basically rolling a terrible dice over and over.

Requirements to Even Hook Ghost Shark

1. Use a Secret-Eligible Rod

According to secret-fish guides, you must use at least these rods to hook any Secret fish (including Ghost Shark):

• Minimum:
  • Midnight Rod or
  • Lucky Rod
• Ideal / high-end options:
  • Ghostfinn Rod (best overall Secret-fishing rod right now; obtained via Deep Sea Quest at Lost Isle)
  • Ares, Astral, Angler Rods are also strong Secret-capable choices

Anything below Midnight/Lucky cannot hook Secret fish at all, so Ghost Shark will effectively never appear on your line.

2. Run High-Luck Bait / Bobber

Meta setups use “premium” bait that boosts Luck:

• Best-in-slot baits (from Stingray Shores / Fisherman Island shop):
  • Aether Bait
  • Dark Matter Bait
• Minimum recommended:
  • Chroma Bait (anything worse and you’re hard-griefing your odds)

These baits increase:

• Luck (bigger chance to roll low-rarity numbers)
• Often mutation/shiny chances, which is nice if you happen to pull a fancy variant.

3. Stack Luck With Enchants & Totems

The big Secret-fish guides recommend stacking Luck as much as you can via enchants:

• Rod enchants:
  • Aim for Leprechaun I or II on your rod.
  • These can add up to ~50% Luck on top of rod + bait stats.
  • You’ll need Enchant Stones, farmed in spots like Esoteric Depths or as ultra-rare catches (e.g. Tropical Grove enchant stone).
• Luck Totem / extra boosts:
  • Codes such as LUCKYTOTEM, CRYSTALS, BLAMETALON, MEGA, ARMOR, etc. have recently distributed Luck II potions and Luck Totems that further amplify your odds.

If you’re chasing Ghost Shark specifically, don’t settle for a random enchant. Keep rerolling until you get at least one strong Luck-focused perk.

4. Use Potions & Event Buffs

Two more layers of RNG stacking:

• Luck Potions
  • Bought from the Scientist NPC at Stingray Shores / Fisherman Island.
  • Temporary but very strong Luck boosts.
• Server-wide events:
  • 2x Luck server events are the prime time to grind Secret fish.

If you’re going to burn good bait and enchants, always try to combine:

Luck rod + luck bait + Leprechaun enchant + Luck Potion + 2x Luck server event.

That’s how you turn 1/500k base odds into something at least achievable in a long session.

How the Ghost Shark Event Works

Recent guides and clips mention a special Ghost Shark event / Ghost Shark Hunt that dramatically increases your chance to see one.

From what’s publicly documented:

• Biome: Still the Ocean – you must be fishing there.
• Event spawn rule: Some sources explicitly state that Ghost Shark only appears during the Ghost Shark event in practice.
• On-screen warning: About 5 minutes before the event starts, a message pops up on your screen announcing the Ghost Shark hunt.
• During the event:
  • Ghost Shark’s effective spawn rate is heavily boosted inside the Ocean pool.
  • You’ll still be competing with other Ocean fish (including other Secrets), but the odds are far better than the default 1/500k rolls.

Because of this, the practical way to farm Ghost Shark is:

Wait for / hop into a Ghost Shark event, then sweat your Luck setup for the entire event window.

You can theoretically hit one outside of events if the game still uses the base table, but guides and calculators all treat it as so rare that it’s basically a statistical miracle without boosts.

Best Ghost Shark Build (Recommended Setup)

Here’s a simple “target build” that balances realism with efficiency:

Core Gear

1. Rod
   • Ideal: Ghostfinn Rod
   • Alternatives: Ares / Astral / Angler Rod
   • Bare minimum: Midnight or Lucky Rod
2. Bait / Bobber
   • Priority: Dark Matter Bait or Aether Bait
   • Backup: Chroma Bait if you’re broke.
3. Enchant
   • Leprechaun I or II on your Secret-capable rod.
   • Any extra Luck-boosting enchants are a bonus.
4. Potions & extras
   • 1–2 Luck Potions ready to pop as the event starts.
   • Any Luck Totem active if you claimed one from codes.

Exact Step-by-Step: How To Farm Ghost Shark

Step 1: Park Yourself in the Ocean

• Use the Ocean biome, not a specific island shoreline:
  • Off the starter island pier.
  • Or from a boat sitting in open water.

As long as your cast lands in the “Ocean” region, Ghost Shark is on the loot table.

Step 2: Watch for the Ghost Shark Announcement

• Keep an eye on:
  • System messages across the top of your screen.
  • Chat / event notices.
• When the Ghost Shark hunt is announced, you usually get about 5 minutes of warning.

Use this warning window to:

• Equip your best rod.
• Swap to Dark Matter / Aether bait.
• Pop a fresh Luck Potion just before the event actually begins.

Step 3: During the Event – Max Casts, Zero Downtime

Once the event kicks in:

1. Cast into the Ocean and reel in as fast as possible.
2. Don’t waste time changing spots unless you’re clearly out of the Ocean region.
3. If you miss a bite, recast instantly – this is a pure volume game.
4. Keep your inventory under control so full bags don’t stop new catches.

Because Secret fish roll separately from common fish, your goal is to generate as many rolls as possible while your Luck stack + event buff are live.

Step 4: Between Events – Passive Ghost Shark Attempts

When the event is not running, you can still:

• AFK-fish in the Ocean with:
  • Your Secret-capable rod.
  • Cheapest high-Luck bait you’re comfortable burning.

The odds are terrible without the event, but if you’re fishing anyway (for coins or other Secrets like Worm Fish / Blob Shark / Megalodon), you might eventually high-roll a Ghost Shark.

Why You’d Want Ghost Shark

Even without leaking exact coin values (they shift with balance updates), Ghost Shark is worth chasing because:

• It’s a Secret rarity catch, which:
  • Sells for much more than regular and even many Mythic fish.
  • Counts toward Secret-fish related quests and badges.
• It helps progress Deep Sea Quest / Secret-fish objectives, which ultimately unlock powerful rods like Ghostfinn.
• It has real flex value in:
  • Your Fish index completion.
  • Screenshots, social bragging, and sometimes player-driven trading value on various communities.

In short: Ghost Shark is a prestige collection piece that also pays very well in coins compared to your average catch.

Common Mistakes That Waste Your Time

1. Fishing with a bad rod
   • Anything below Midnight / Lucky Rod literally cannot hook Secret fish. You’re rolling for nothing.
2. Ignoring Luck stats
   • Fishing for Ghost Shark with zero Luck setup is like buying 1 lottery ticket and expecting a jackpot. At least stack bait + enchant + one potion.
3. Not realizing it’s an event fish in practice
   • Many players grind for hours at random times, never noticing the Ghost Shark event is when the rates actually spike.
4. Fishing in the wrong biome
   • Ghost Shark is Ocean-only. Fishing at Coral Reefs, Esoteric Depths, Kohana, etc., will never roll it.

Quick FAQ

Where do I catch Ghost Shark in Fish It?

Only in the Ocean biome. Any cast that lands in the Ocean region can, in theory, roll Ghost Shark, provided you meet rod and Luck requirements.

How rare is Ghost Shark?

Community tools list Ghost Shark at roughly 1 in 500,000 base odds per cast, making it one of the rarer Ocean Secrets.

With strong Luck builds and events, your effective odds improve, but it’s still a long grind.

Do I need the Ghost Shark event?

Strictly speaking, the game’s data treats Ghost Shark as a normal Secret Ocean fish. But:

• Guides like Sportskeeda describe it as only practically obtainable during the Ghost Shark event, where it gets a special spawn boost.

For most players, yes, you should rely on the event if you seriously want one.

Does Ghost Shark help with Ghostfinn / Deep Sea Quest?

Deep Sea Quest requires catching Secret fish as part of progressing toward the Ghostfinn Rod. Any valid Secret catch, including Ghost Shark, can contribute to these kinds of objectives.
