Nyalia -- in your OP the info for the Gigantshark is wrong. Mooch is from a Merlthor Goby -> Gigantshark. Double mooch from Merlthor Goby -> Ogre Barracuda -> Gigantshark is supposed to be possible, but all mine have been the single mooch off the Merlthor. And best bait is a Lugworm. Minnows get all sorts of trash fish, but Lugworms limit you to Merlthor Gobys or Finger Shrimp .. much less hassle.

The possible ways to catch are Goby --> Gigantshark, Harbor Herring --> Gigantshark or Herring --> Ogre Barracuda --> Gigantshark. Personally, I've found minnows to give better results, plus you don't have to deal with restocking bait or carrying around stacks of them. If you use the statistics on ff14angler - which you have to take with a grain of salt since there's no indication of what % of attempts was in what weather, but still, the sample size is large enough to dampen some of the effects - then lugworm and minnow have roughly the same total % on gigantsharks.
