Hi all! I am Gathering 349/364 w/Tomato Pie and 292/297 w/pie. I caught one so far and have gotten "fish got away" at least 7 times. Anyone know why I am getting "fish got away after update so much now? Thank you in advance for any answers.

It does take a bit of work. Patience.
So you will drop a few? It is not a setup thing? I am fine with my setup?
Ok guys update:
Just caught 4 Olgoi-Khorkhoi in a row! Sand Leech - Heatwave - 5pm - 11pm ET. After 11pm got manta's and caravan's and fish get's away! Food: Stuffed Artichokes, Gathering 355, Perception 308. Been trying to get these for past 2 days. I caught one but didn't note time, after missed over 10 with "fish got away"
This seems to be a good time to get them.
Please confirm if this is the best time!

It has been confirmed that desynthing Olgoi-Khorkhoi can yield the elusive Waterproof Cotton (pic in Japanese). It has also been confirmed by others. It is unknown if this is the only fish that can drop it.

I think this fish should be renamed "Sand Troll" honestly, 372/300 Gathering/Perception using Spinach Quiche HQ and I lost it 5 times, without food I was sitting 348/292, lost it once and caught it the next time.... so confused... anyway, one down after almost 45 minutes straight of fishing with a Heat Wave up, not looking forward to the next 2.
Its a tough one.
My fisher alt is max melded and on spinach quiche and can still loose these things.

Finally, new Halcyon Rod Supra
