On July 8, there will be a new Fishing Tournament happening now for both hemispheres.

To enter, you talk to C.J. who explains the rules - you have 3 minutes to catch fish and earn 1 point per fish, plus a 2 point bonus for catching 3 or more fish. All fish caught are stored in C.J.'s cooler and can be sold back to him for bells or kept. Players earn trophies (bronze, silver, gold) based on accumulating point totals of 100, 200, 300 over the whole tournament day. Points can also be exchanged with C.J. for various fishing-themed prizes like poles, clothing items, and wallpapers/rugs.
2. Bug-Off
For players in the northern hemisphere, we will have another summer Bug-Off and this will be taking place on the third Saturday of the month. It's hosted by Flick from 9AM-6PM. To participate, the player talks to Flick who explains they have 3 minutes to catch bugs. Each bug caught earns 1 point, with a bonus of 2 points for catching 3 or more bugs at once. Caught bugs go into Flick's bug cage and can be sold back or kept. Points can be redeemed with Flick for bug-themed items in exchange for 10 points each. Trophy prizes are awarded at point thresholds of 100, 200, and 300 total points. It can be a really great opportunity to get some ACNH bells as well.
