    Each of the quests favors 1-3 fish that they work on. You have to learn their tug timers and then you can easily make use of your toolkit.
    It also would be way to easy if you could simply tripl hook anything. The quests are made for being a challenge to complete your log, you are not supposed to grind all of these. Do red alerts, if you want to farm points

    there also is this sheet to make fishing kinda easy

    I came back to the game a few days ago, and I have mixed feelings about it.
    Some objectives are interesting, and the short windows make it kinda like big fishing in some aspects.

    I agree that DH/TH not working on most thing and being a waste of GP is a problem, as is losing any AA left at the end of a mission.

    My main gripe is that there is no "fishing guide" or cosmic version of it. With each mission having it's own fish pool, It's hard for someone with a goldfish's memory to run a mission without having to relearn what is available.

    you didnt have a guide for ocean fishing neither. People made spreadsheets and websites with collected data and the same thing is happening with moon fishing

    They're talking about the Fishing Guide - where you can see what fish are in what hole. Ocean Fishing did have this already, but - as you pointed out - the spreadsheets with additional information was not present and is something made every expansion or major fishing update, really.

    I kinda get why they didn't put it for cosmic exploration. Since every hole has a ton of different possibilities of fish based on the mission you're doing. It would be nice if it could be included per mission. Like add an extra button where you have the crafting and desynth options for a fishing guide for that mission only.

    ocean fishing gave you a list of "possible" fish but it was realistically of zero use, since they were divided by 3 daytimes. You technically didnt know which fish was available at the time you were on the boat

    That's a valid point, but it at least shared the expected functionality of the fish guide in general which doesn't tell you conditions.

    the weeping pond for example has 17 different fish in it. The ones that bite vary by the quest that you are on. It simply exceeds the maximum amount of fish (10), that their log can show.. x)

    That's why I mentioned a "cosmic version" of that.
    SE proved that they were able to update the systems with the "recent" update to the log and the release list.

    The other places without a fish guide don't have so much fishes and the pool doesn't change*, so it's less of a problem

    how would that help? You'ld see 17 different fish then and still have no clue which bite during that specific quest or what bait to use
