Did they change this?...

Is it not possible to find rare fish on the mystery tour islands now? I’ve been searching for a barreleye and oarfish for awhile now and thought maybe I could find them a little easier on the mystery tour islands, but I’m not having very much luck...

I think it depends on the islands. You'll probably need to find a rare fish island or something similar.

The chance of finding such an island is about 1%, so you may have better luck just looking for them in your own ocean.

OK, thank you. I decided to look on my own island and finally found the barreleye, so I’m at least good with that fish.

I've never found anything rare on those islands.

Exactly the same as my island.

Here is a guide of the islands! I found it on google, though I have used it before and gotten a big fish island. I check my islands like this

Both my boyfriend and I found our first barreleyes last week on mystery Islands!

I think so and in my case, I use a lot of bait to catch rare fishes in my island, it is easier for me.
I kinda gave up about finding rare islands since I am not lucky lol ^^

When it comes to catching the rare cliff fish or pier fish, I'll always go for the fish bait. The regular ocean fish I tend to catch by running back and forth old-school style. My only problem is no matter how much I try to train myself, a size 5 sea bass/olive flounder will always look like a size 6 fish.
