Fish: Bigcuda

Minimum Gathering: 2780
Folklore Tome: Ilsabard and the Northern Empty

📋Window Prep
Arrive at Ksidora a little before the weather turns to Rain or Showers. Cast out with Sky Spoon Lure and catch either a Ksirapayin or Green Swordtail (with the former being more ideal). Use Surface Slap, and then Chum. Wait for the window to open (ie: when it starts raining or showering at 8am ET)

🎣Window
Once the rains start falling, cast out. Bigcuda is a !!! bite, and the only !!! bite in the hole. Only attempt to reel in any !!! bite. Continue to use Chum for each cast as much as possible, using Hi-Cordials or Thaliak's Favor to replenish GP. If you get a !!! bite, use Hook. If you're using Patience, it required Powerful Hookset to catch - however, Patience is NOT required to catch this fish.

Beyond that, it's one of the longest bites in the fishing hole so there isn't much optimization you can do. Since it's a pretty long window (23 minutes), I generally don't recommend Surface Slapping Bicuda. Despite being a longer bite, it bites much less often and the GP saved by not having to chum as often (vs the amount of times it'll bite) isn't really worth it.

Good luck and happy fishing!
