thanks.. guess I should have pored over the Google results more instead of just reading the first one!

The Greatest Bream in the World is my new Arch Nemesis.

I caught 1 around 9pm Game Time using Shrimp Cage Feeders, clear/fair weather..... but now i've spent at least 5 whole game days fishing constantly and have yet to see another.

Anyone have any luck with this fish? Bait? Time? Weather?

I'VE BEEN TRYING ALL WEEK (ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻
Not a single bite honestly. Greatest bream, more like greatest Harry Houdini!

Speaking of Harry, has anyone tried getting the Matriarch in Coerthas? That thing gets away 95% of the time no matter what your gathering rate is.... ಠ_ಠ

ouch D: I've been trying it with 359~369 gathering and just not a single bite at all. According to fishing site people have caught it with 343, 347, 355 so clearly gathering being high is not an issue :T

I'll try for matriarch when i get home and see what I can see too!

DAMN YOU BREAMBLEMORE!

Caught it on my very first try. I suppose I got lucky!

Got another TGBITW; 930pm Game Time. Shrimp cage feeders. Saw two other fishers port out around 11pm Game time. So maybe the window is 9-11?

I've had alot of success around this time window aswell @ clear/fair, shrimp cage feeders aswell

Matriarch keeps getting away for me aswell, friend caught it with foragers rod in 1 out of 3 tries...
RNG, why you do this
