GTA 6 Fishing, Hunting, Diving & the Outdoors

GTA 6 outdoor activities: deep-sea and swamp fishing, hunting in Mount Kalaga, scuba diving reefs and shipwrecks, kayaking, airboats, jet skis and where to find the best spots.

Updated November 8, 2026

GTA 5's outdoors were beautiful but empty. Leonida's are full of life and things to do — some of them profitable.

Fishing

Spot	Type
Atlantic side of the Keys	Deep-sea fishing, rough water
Gulf side of the Keys	Shallow flats and mangroves
Grassrivers	Fishing from an airboat
Gambit Bay	Boat fishing (the Ultimate Squalo is built for it)
Lake Leonida	Big-lake fishing beside Ambrosia
Mount Kalaga rivers	River fishing

Hunting

Hunting is a real way to make money, and Mount Kalaga National Park has the best of it: deer, foxes and cougars in dense forest and canyon country. Wildlife behaves realistically — a cougar stalking deer is one of the official screenshots. Expect Red Dead-style tracking, adapted to modern rifles.

Scuba diving

Reefs, sea turtles, lionfish, sharks and shipwrecks with hidden items. The Keys are the best place to start, and the Atlantic side holds the deeper wrecks.

Kayaking and paddling

Kayaks reach deep inland along rivers and canals. The Ultimate Edition's Crest kayak sits at Jason's stilt house; Mount Kalaga's rivers and the Gulf-side mangroves are great runs.

Airboats, jet skis and boats

Airboats for the Grassrivers.
Jet skis along the coasts.
Speedboats and yachts in Vice City's bays and around the Keys.
Boat tours in the Keys.

Tips

Underwater is a legitimate hiding place from police — deeper and murkier is better.
Bring a kayak to the mangroves; they're too shallow for most boats.

Gameplay

GTA 6 Weather, Hurricanes & Day/Night Cycle

GTA 6's simulated weather: localised storms, wind-driven clouds, wet surfaces that dry realistically, waves and sheltered bays, aircraft in storms, hurricanes, and a day/night cycle longer than GTA 5's 48 minutes.
