Trying to fish up Goldenfin. Found that after 12AM in clear weather, my luck with Coral Butterflies has gone substantially up.

Currently attempting with Yumizuno. Will come back with further results. Not sure if there's bait better suited for catching Coral Butterflies.

Just noticed that funny description for Moat Carp (fishing for Cap Diem now) - (...) Legend says that a man in a faraway kingdom once caught ten thousand in a single sitting.

Reporting in with my results for the Goldenfin!

Spent a few hours with the Yumizuno with no luck. Switched to pill bugs and got a bite a few casts in. My stats were too low sitting at 335 gathering and 261 perception.

Weather was cloudy, time was 11:35AM.

::EDIT::

SUCCESSFUL CATCH!

Goldenfin NQ. Pill Bug. 2:05PM. Cloudy Weather. 345 Gathering. Straight Catch. Upper Limsa Lominsa.

My guess would be that my earlier miss was due to a heavier weighted fish.

I also find it funny that the fish caught on the upper deck is different than the one on the lower deck when it literally is the same water. XD

Zalera. 11:00AM. Fair Weather. Rat Tails. Straight Catch. Zephyr Drift.

Kupo you're on the roll!

Kupo you're on the roll!

Haha, it seems I've figured out the secret... maybe. I need to do more testing! In any case, I just caught another. Keep in mind the time and weather just happens to be when I caught it. This doesn't necessarily mean it's the only time and weather to catch it, although I had no luck with this one at night time.

Beguiler Chub. 10:05AM. Fair Weather. Moth Pupa. Straight Catch. Rogue River.

Great!!

From my observations - every KING is a HQ2 from a normal catch - so in order to catch it use regular/best bait suited for NQ version - in this case http://disciplesoftheland.com/fish/#chub is best caught with Moth Pupa, and Beguiler Chub is the king of chubs. Same thing applies to other fish like Stormchaser. I also try to pick a bait that's available from a local Merchant/Mender.
