    Diadem Fishing locations?

    I've found a list of 6 spots that are supposedly the Fishing holes on the Diadem islands.

    Southern Diadem Lake (8 / 30)
    Secluded Diadem Pond
    Northern Diadem Lake
    Blustery Cloudtop (12 / 25)
    Calm Cloudtop (33 / 13)
    Swirling Cloudtop (28 / 33)

    Still missing coordinates for the 2nd / 3rd ones, and a map would be a bonus, anyone?

    I'll update your list a bit.

    Southern Diadem Lake (8 / 30)
    Secluded Diadem Pond (Easy: 8,31)
    Northern Diadem Lake
    Diadem Grotto (it's in the southwest caves)
    Diadem Skyspring (it's a dead end in the southwest caves)
    Blustery Cloudtop (12 / 25, Easy mode only)
    Calm Cloudtop (33 / 13, Normal mode only)
    Swirling Cloudtop (28 / 33, Hard mode only)

    The Secluded Diadem Pond is also available in Normal, but I don't remember the coords. It's probably in Hard as well, it's position changes with difficulty, but in Normal I do remember it being somewhere on the southwest body of water.

    Bait Type

    What kind of bait are you using to fish? I've been using the freshwater bait on hand but the game states that it is not suitable.

    Purse web spiders work for the freshwater spots. I haven't done extensive testing (since I'm mostly out for pterodactyls at the moment) but I'd imagine that brute leeches might work too.
    I've primarily used giant crane flies for skyfishing, though it's possible to use red balloons too.

    Has anyone found a spot for Pterodactyl on Hard? I found the Swirling Cloudtop hole in the southeast side of the map but never came across a Ptero or even a Marimo. I cast about 20 times. Bad luck orrr...?

    I've been told that Brute leeches are the way to go for the Steel spoils, however I didn't have any on me last night when I went with my FC to get some Pterodactyls. I've been told to stick with the Bladed steel jig for fresh water, and the red balloons have a pretty good success rate on Pterodactyls i got 12 in 15 min last night.

    I love the official forums, they tell you to use the search for thread about what you wanted to talk but when you use it they judge for necro a thread.

    Is it a larger island with mobs or an isolated small island? I checked quite a bit around there but I guess I need to check better.
