The Elusive Blowfish

[Annabat]

Anyone having/had trouble catching the Blowfish?

Any tips? It's the only one I'm missing in my ocean dex so far.

I understand it's just a rare fish, but would you recommend catching it in the village ocean or island ocean?

I think certain fishes only can be catch in your town unless it stated all year in island =x

Ugh, I had trouble with this one too. :c
I don't think it's possible to catch one off the island coast, so fish in the village ocean. And I'm pretty sure you can only catch it past 9 PM. It's about the size of a horse mackerel or dab.

Good luck!

You can only catch them from November to the end of February, so you can't go to the island. I didn't have much difficulty catching it.

I got one first try when I was searching for one o-o
It's like the shadow of a dab, so medium-ish to small. Somewhere around that I think. Good luck

Blow Fish come out at an odd time of 9PM and shadow size in the water is medium, so just look for a medium sized at 9PM and you should be good

You'd think they'd make it a round shadow.

Guess once 9pm hit my town I will catch whatever shadow I see, if is not what I want I can just sell it to retails once my bag full =x

The Pop Eyed goldfish I got. It kinda made me scratch my head when I caught it though. Keep trying!

Also- thanks for the size of shadow reference. I'll continue questing in the village ocean for this fish!

Is it only out at 9pm?

 

[Mayor Jamal]

I didn't have any trouble catching the blowfish. I remember it being fairly easy.

I think I've caught it...I'm having more trouble getting the stringfish than anything. ;_;
Figures, out of all the river fish, Merengue would ask for one that's worth 15,000.

those come out after 4 and are pretty rare but you'll know when you find one as soon as you see it's shadow in the river.

Yeah, I know the time period they're out but still had no luck fishing for almost two hours...
So sadly she never got her fish.

 

[Mayor Jamal]

Oh well, better luck next time hopefully.
