That's very valuable to me. Good number of results under unbiased fishing habits. So thank you a lot for that.
But wow, you must've spent forever fishing here.


I get the feeling there are two "amiss" things going on.

The first is the timer one that everyone knows. Maybe around half an hour to an hour, it kicks in and you need to move a short distance. A while later, it resets for that small spot ("grid"? as the devs termed it).

The one I'm seeing has the same message, but feels more like a hard cap for the whole "fishing hole". I hit it again yesterday after going through at least 198+195 crab balls, plus however many mooches and such in between. I should've tried fishing in a different hole, like maybe Silver Bazaar for hammerheads, just to see if it was a global fishing cap or not. Or probably a completely different map entirely, since FF11 had zone-wide fishing caps. But no, for better and worse judgment, I went to sleep instead.
