Oysters a Myth?

[Crabulon]

have been using the traps for a few seasons now, checking them daily, and have yet to find an oyster. it is the last thing i need and i have like 12 traps in the ocean.

I assure you, they are not a myth. Just keep potting.

Just keep it up. Try throwing a few pots in the river and in the pond in the forest as well.

i just read that they are an ocean catch so i have tons of pots there

I have the sam e problem with Cockles. I dont find any at the beach or in my beach pots. I dont need them for the community center but i just cant find them.

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question ...
Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit.

I would have thought a better offering would have been:

O! Oysters, come and walk with us!
The Walrus did beseech.
We'll walk and talk
and talk and walk
along the briny beach!

Given that the beach is likely to cough up some oysters anyway, your best bet is taking a stroll along the shorline (including the rock pools) when you go to check the traps, particularly in Summer during crab mating season.

Mm... I concede that you have in fact chosen the more apropos quote.
However ...

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

I do not think that they will sing to me.

What have you done to annoy the RNG that much? Oysters are a kind-of rare shell, but they're not season limited or anything...

I guess you can either spam crab pots to maximise your changes, or try burning some sage to remove whatever curse you've called down upon yourself.

Check the beach everyday, they show up there often!
