I know you can get them in the mines but everytime I try to get them I get overloaded with algae and rubbish where is the best place to stand to fish for them.

This is "fantastic" help :/

There's no real.. 'secret' or well-known spot to stand on those floors in order to fish them. Just keep casting your rod out and you'll eventually get them to show up.

Unique mine fishes have low encounter rate. theres no cheats or hints to get them easily

So you would rather not get help at all?

You could try using wild bait, if you've befriended Linus. I don't know if any data miners have proven it to be true or if it's just the old "Mash A+B+Up/Down when you throw the Pokeball." effect, but from what I've read the popular theory is that wild bait increases the odds of rarer fish, such as legendaries and lava eels, to bite.

According to the wiki, all that Bait does is decrease the waiting time for a hit, as well as reducing the chance of trash items. Wild Bait decreases the wait time slightly further than that.

You could say it increases the odds of finding rarer fish in a day, since you'll be catching more fish/junk in a day, but that's just a technicality.

The wiki also said I should've had enough points at the start of year 3 to get all four candles lit but I only had three. I've never bothered trying wild bait because it's prohibitively expensive, so I can't confirm whether the Wiki is accurate or not, but it's worth a shot if you're having trouble, worst case scenario you waste some easy to replace materials.

This is completely anecdotal, but I tried catching the Stonefish with regular bait and never had one bite. I used Wild Bait and had caught one within 5 casts.

Try going on a lucky day as well, just to hedge your bets.
