I noticed in your culinarian section of the guide, the pirucuru (sp?) is listed at 17.5% catch. I was just fishing them and I was getting 1/4 with lvl 60 HW equips, but the usual bait. It took me under an hour to fish up 20 to level my desynth skill. Also...with HQ tinkers, and NQ broth I had 2.5% on better crowned pies at 76 skill. Did not read if you ever got data on the buffs increasing from a negative skill % or not.
