Not particularly.

Like all fish, as long as you're fishing in the right season/location/time/weather, it can bite. Then it's just a matter of catching it.

If you miss any of them you can't catch a puffer fish. Be aware that puffer fish has the shortest appearing duration in a single day(4 hours), you may want to use the time spot glitch while fishing.

So far I have no luck in catching it. I think I might have gotten one on my fishing rod but it was so fast I could barely even get it one green bar :(

+2 or +3 Fishing food and a Cork Bobber might help.

You can only equip the cork bobber on the fishing pole worth 7k gold right?

Ah, yes. If you don't have that one, then it's not an option.

+3 Fishing adds a whole lot of bar length all on its own, though. This is why everyone thinks Fishing is hard (bar's tiny at low levels) but also why high-level fishing is boring (bar's huge).

You can buy it from the travelling cart that visits in south of your farm!

Correct, though that will not count as you having "caught" it.

I usually "catch" my Pufferfish at the Travelling Cart.


(Though yes, obviously that doesn't add it to your fishing collection).
