The Mirror Carp is one of the easiest ways to start filling your catch list at Weeping Willow, and it is a good looking fish while you are at it. Its patchy, oversized mirror scales make it stand out from an ordinary carp, and it takes plain corn on a simple bottom rig without much … Read more
Weeping Willow Fisheries is the map I point people to when they reach Level 50 and want a break from saltwater. It is a freshwater carp complex in South East England, five still lakes and a river packed into one large site, and it is about as far from a 400 kg tuna as fishing … Read more
This is the biggest Giant Grouper I have landed anywhere. My Unique came in at 381.301 kg and 277.9 cm, near the very top of what the species reaches, and it paid 129,460 coins with 115,580 XP. I have written up this fish before at Kaiji No Ri, but that one was only a young … Read more
The Black Marlin is the biggest single payday on this whole site. My Unique came in at 599.551 kg and 469.9 cm and paid 305,253 coins with 182,255 XP, more than double what my best European Sea Sturgeon returned. It is a giant billfish that hunts the open water off Noomaa Kuda Atholhu, and I … Read more
The Wahoo is the fish that makes Noomaa Kuda Atholhu worth fishing the surface for. It is a fast, savage open-ocean predator that ambushes a topwater popper and then tears off at speed, and it pays far better than the King Mackerel I started this map with. My catch was a Trophy at 21.856 kg … Read more
The Indo-Pacific King Mackerel was one of the first fish I chased at Noomaa Kuda Atholhu, the tropical atoll map, and it takes a fast pilker jig rather than bait on the bottom. It is an active, hard-hitting pelagic that hunts in small schools, so once you find the right water you can often pick … Read more
The Green Jobfish is the fish that finally gets you fishing bait on the bottom at Kaiji No Ri. Almost everything else on this map is a lure or trolling target, but the Green Jobfish is a reef-dwelling bottom feeder you catch by dropping a simple baited rig down to it. It is not a … Read more
If you have read my Skårland Fjord guides, you have already seen the gear in this pack at work. The Valkyrie Saga Pack is the saltwater bundle that kitted me out for deep bottom fishing in Norway: the boat I run in every saltwater guide, the three electric rods I keep rigged for different weight … Read more
The Mahi-Mahi is one of the most beautiful fish in the game, and one of the most fun to catch at Kaiji No Ri. It is a fast, surface-hunting open-ocean predator that smashes a topwater popper in broad daylight, and it pays well for the effort. My Unique came in at 29.866 kg and 185.7 … Read more
The Narrow-Barred Mackerel, also called the Spanish Mackerel, is a fast, toothy reef predator that will grab a bucktail at Kaiji No Ri. It is not a big earner, but it is a bigger, meaner fish than it first looks, and it is a satisfying species to add to your list. My Trophy came in … Read more
