I caught a crawfish/lobster in March...how is that possible?

[thelonewanderer]

I caught the crawfish (look like a lobster) a few days ago.

Its not even part of the fish for March list according to this list https://gamewith.net/animal-crossing-new-horizons/article/show/17100

Did I catch the rarest sea creature of them all?

We weren't suppose to get these creature due to no diving?

I'm in Northern Hemisphere so it not suppose to happen. It available only in Southern
Hemisphere.

No, the list is just wrong. It's not an official guide. The game just came out.

Check the app on your nookphone, what months does it say it appears in?

 

[Cheryll]

Crawfish appear April - September in the northern hemisphere, not entirely sure for southern hemisphere.

Right but I caught it in March, and not today either but a couple days ago?

Crawfish are a rare out-of-season spawn on one of the Nook Mileage Islands, is that where you caught it?

Yes! So it even rarer than stringfish?

It won’t be tomorrow.

Agree but I caught it a few days ago and not today. I'm in Pacific time so it 3 hours
away from April regardless.

i didn’t know we could catch out-of-season stuff on the island tours - that’s cool!

Congrats on the rare find!

I want to mention one thing. The crawfish I caught look like a lobster but the picture in the critterpedia is
off a crawfish.

Thank you! I have proof of it as well. Took multiple screenshots.

I caught one as well. I didn't think they were that rare.

Are you in Southern or Northern hemisphere?
