How to Catch

I have caught nearly 2 stacks in an hour at fishing level 50 at Jugner Forest. I have caught more gold than moats, I also have a Lu Shangs Fishing Rod and full gear, so maybe I have more of an advantage.

The problem with not catching many, is low skill. to catch these comfortably I would recommened a skill of 45+

they are not that hard to catch. My advice would be to buy a mithran rod and a shrimp lure and fish in port Sandy or Windurst Waters or bastok market. This method will level you up, tricoloured carp from 15-27 and gold till 36 and as you catch tri coloured carp as well as gold carp and you will never lose bait. Doing this in Port Sandy I have caught lots of gold carp and my fishing skill is at 16

The best I did catching Goldies was 4 in an hour, new moon at the lake in Jugner, using a Carbon and Insect Paste.

I was also catching a mess of Moats and Tris as well as Dark Carp.

These are a rare bite, and as such are difficult to target. Jugner lake with insect paste is perhaps the zone I catch the most at. I have also heard that the rotunda in Windurst Woods is good for Gold Carp.

Again, they're a rare bite. The most I've ever gotten was 5 in a 4-hour fishing session.

I usually fish with a composite rod but once I used a carbon rod and caught my 1st gold carp at level 13 skill. Also caught lots of Tricolored carp for the 1st time. All in Port San d'oria

Other than food for mithra, i don't think it's used for anything. Good money, though - i sold it to the NPC at the fishing guild for over 600 gil.
