finding fish

[WolfieDream]

I was wondering why we can't search for fish in a search bar like we can other gathering items? I am sure there is a reason it is not included but it would be so much more efficient than the current means to locate fish and their data. Thank you

I think it's to give fishing a bit of a challenge - figuring out what bait, location, time, and weather - but once you catch a fish, it should keep it in your log, i think. right now it only saves the fishing hole you get it at. I get tired of pulling up ff14 angler because I can't remember where they're all from.

you can actually but it's introduced way later than for BTN/MNR but you WILL get it eventually. Also I figure the devs thought the skill would be superfluece because you can basically fish in any body of water and later in the air, in lava, in Aether and all other sorts of liquids too

There are several ways to isolate the fish you want. Its part of the fishing game.

Bait, timeing, how hard they move your rod. Cat became hungry is a godssend.

I am pretty sure OP gets that. They are wondering why there isn't more information available to us in game, especially for fish we have already caught and discovered. We shouldn't have to rely so heavily on a third party website. We also can't search the fish log. I can't type in Sweatfish and get its location (the only info saved in game) to pop up for me, but I can type in Wind Shard and it'll tell me all the places I can get that item. to find a fish's location I have to manually look through the log.
