Big Fish and you: What bait is needed when to land the big one

[zigholliday]

Base is 339 gathering 280 perception. But mostly I am using tomato pies so that makes it 358/288.

Thanks for the Japanese info Huckster, I'll use butterworm instead.

Thank you so much Huckster! I've edited the first post with all the info you provided. From this point on it's just narrowing down (or broadening) the appropriate catch parameters.

Thanks again everyone!

Navigator's Brand - based on 117 catches bites only between 9-13 (http://ff14angler.com/fish/216)

I'm going by all the baits and times in the charts. Here is additional info.

Jacques the Snipper was caught in the daytime in rainy weather.

High Perch was caught in Fair weather.

Judgeray in rainy weather.

Beguiler Chub in Fair weather.

I seem to get better results using perception food instead of gathering food.

Oh and, what are you guys doing with all those fish?

The only thing is have caught outside of the parameters on the op is the High Perch in Cloudy Weather.

Blue Widow was caught in the rain, but I didn't try other conditions.

Hi i got a few on floating minnows nice weather daytime, 310 was not enough, went back at 345 and got them.

I've tried to catch the Slime King with base Gathering 342 / Perception 283 -boosted with Tomato Pie (15/6) - so 357 / 289 in total - but I got "Fish gets away..." message 3 or 4 times (the weather and bait was OK). Slimy bastard! I think I'll make a stack of Spinach Quiche (this is now the best Gathering food) and use it while fishing.

Right now the max gathering you can get is:
- from gear - 348
- from company action (Live off the Land II) - 10
- from food (Spinach Quiche HQ) - 24
--------------------
Max pimped boosted gathering as of 2.2: 382

And perception:
- from gear - 289
- from company action (What You See II) - 10
- from food (Landtrap Salad HQ) - 19
--------------------
Max pimped boosted perception as of 2.2: 318

Just on the Faerie Queen. I think that was a mistake to put streamer as the bait. The picture from the Japanese source is actually a spinnerbait. I tried Streamer for a while and got nothing then used Spinnerbait a different day and got 5 bites. But even with 345 gather and 296 perception (that includes a buff from stuffed artichoke) I lost every one of them. So I don't think it can be a fluke. Didn't have any tomato pies left at the time plus I kept at it to see if it was just bad luck.

Thx for the info - that was my mistake during automatic translation - here you can see it's really Spinnerbait: http://ff14angler.com/fish/220 - so you're right!
