Fishin' Lakitus are a type of Lakitu who first appeared in Super Mario World. They bait Mario or Luigi with a 1-Up Mushroom on the end of a fishing rod. Once the mushroom is taken, the Fishin' Lakity will start attacking as a regular Lakitu. In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Fishin' Lakitu would appear without a bait with a fishing pole ending in a hook attempting to steal Baby Mario.

They have also appeared in the Mario Kart series as well as many spin-offs. In cases like Super Mario 64 they could appear as a friendly version carrying the camera for the player to see Mario.

The Fishin' Lakity have a subtype, which is a mix between a Fishin' Lakitu and a Boo. It is called the Fishin' Boo, and instead of a 1-Up Mushroom, it carries a flame that hits Mario or Luigi whenever they come in contact with it.

A Fishin' Lakity makes a cameo in the Yoshi's Island stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee and which appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's past stages as well, in the background along with Banzai Bill.
