Animal Crossing New Horizons has many useful NPCs, one of them being CJ. Here’s how you can find him in the game and what you can buy from him.
CJ is a beaver that deals with personalized status and offers fishing challenges in Animal Crossing New Horizons. In this guide, we will tell you when CJ will come to your island. CJ can either visit your Island randomly or visit once in a fortnight. During Fishing Tourney, he will visit as the head and this is usually arranged four times a year. You can find him on the 2nd Saturday of January, April, July, and October.
Animal Crossing New Horizons CJ Location and Rewards
If the visit by CJ happens randomly, you won’t be able to find him in one place. You need to search for him and find him around the Island. If CJ is coming as head of the Fishing Tourney, you will be able to meet him next to the small stall in the main plaza.
During the Fishing Tourney, CJ offers you SeaSports challenges. Try to catch fish of the same size three times in a row. The trick here is to use fish bait to catch similar-sized fish. There are no rewards here but you can sell CJ the fish you have caught to make some money. The advantage is that you get paid more by CJ compared to Nook.
If you complete the challenge and get three fishes of the same size, get them to CJ. He will be able to get you a statue of the Fish the next day. You can locate it in your mailbox and place it in your home as a trophy. To take part in the tourney, you need to spend 500 bells every time.
The reward for catching fish during the fishing tourney is one point for every fish captured. The points will double if you manage to catch more than one fish in a single turn. You will gain fish-based loot by redeeming these points. To get the gold trophy, you need to earn 300 points in a day, 200 are for silver and 100 for bronze.
