Conclusion

Thanks very much for using my guide.
If you like it, I would appreciate a like and perhaps even a favourite!

[Revalopod]

np :)

[Link117]

ty been pulling out my hair trying to find out how to get Muon Battery since fortuna came out

[Toxic-spin]

try the cave at the bottom right on the map, it has a large body of water and most of the time a fishing hot spot

[Revalopod]

thanks so much :)
i havent found any cave hotspots myself, apparently they're very rare

[Kernel Panic]

Love this guide. I come back to it every time I need to head out for those damn fish. Thanks for the map too! Do you by any means know what the cave hot spots are?

[Dama733]

Alot of the fishable Caves are bugged at the moment, some never spawn anything and some even keep spawning cold weather fish during the way too short Warm period.

Luminos dye is also buggy in caves, most fish never get highlighted.

[FunkDanceSelfDefense2]

yeah the cave fishes, at least the charamote is, are only active in warm periods atm.

nothing in cold weather, lost three baits +

and in warm weather they spawned.

but below the surface a lot.

[Bl@ckb!rd]

slashy some cavves are bugged they just cosume baits naad spawn nothing

[Beep]

I've used 4 cynathid bait in a cave with a green circle on that map, and seen none. I'm using the dye for visibility too. Am I doing something wrong?

[Bl@ckb!rd]

thia might help with cave hotspots ::

persoanlly i prefer to fish in the bottom cave on the map, has consistent hotspots and if there are none then wait for weather to change and it will spawn alot of hotspots..
