9 Species needed

My main toon has has been fishing 4 at least 1 hour a day and my newest fish was All Star Fish 3 days ago.heres what i need

Devil Ray Fish
Holey Mackerol Fish
Grizzly Bear Acuda
???? Moon Fish
New Moon Fish
Cresent Moon Fish
Baby Grand Piano Tuna
Grand Piano Tuna

The only reason everyone says a species is easy to catch and someone else dont have it is because it is easier to catch once u already get it!Right after i caught the Kodiac i got 10 more of em in 4 buckets

True, once you catch a species, it is easier to catch more of that type. I'm not sure why, it just is!

This is where I've found the following species:

Devil Ray Fish = DD, playground or Lighthouse Lane
Holey Mackerol Fish = 2nd pier from right at estate
Grizzly Bear Acuda = pier closest to pet shop clerk in TB's playground
???? Moon Fish = wish I knew!
New Moon Fish = DL playground
Cresent Moon Fish = Lullaby Lane in DL
Baby Grand Piano Tuna = pier closest to pet shop clerk in MM's playground
Grand Piano Tuna = pier closest to pet shop clerk in MM's playground

Np..lol. Just go fish at Lighthouse lane in hopes of catching the Old King Crab and/or Devil Ray. Even the Holey is catchable at DD.

Kewl, one down!

Sorry, forgot to reply to "so u have 48 species tho?". I have 4 toons I'm fishing with that have 4 different rods to get a better testing of rarity values. Each toon has caught different species. My toons have the twig, hardwood, steel, and gold. I've always found very little difference between bamboo and twig, so I omit that rod from my testing. Saves me time at least and I can't imagine making a 5th toon and still being able to keep up with it. I think my toons have the following in order by rod: 17, 32, 39, 42 I think Loosy has the most caught by a single toon. I think he has 45 species, but correct me if I'm wrong, Loosy.

New Species vs. Old Boots

My speculation on that after 39 species on my oldest toon...

[Speculation]
Old Boots are fish that you have not yet caught. There are either species you can't catch with your cureent rod, individual fish that are too big for that rod, or a new species that the random generator does not "award" to you. That last part would explain a couple of things...

- Why you see more boots when you have caught fewer species
- Why you see more of a "rare" species after you finally catch one

If the theory is correct, once someone finally gets all 50 species, they will never get another Old Boot.
[/Speculation]

Thanks for the fishing spot information. I hope it helps me get that elusive species #40.

That boot idea is really unique! Never really thought of it that way...

P.S. Batleth, thanks for fishing info!

We've speculated this before and it has merit, yet it doesn't take into account that the fact that old boots may have a listing on the random generators for species. Toons with Gold Rods should be able to catch all species, but they are still getting old boots.
Though I think your theory is correct to a point from what we've seen of fishing, I believe that old boots is still on the random generator of species caught just as JB jars are. At best, this would give us 52 different items that could be caught with the gold rods. This would only be possible if all species were able to be caught in that pond you were fishing at. This is doubtful since some species can only be caught at certain locations. I don't believe there is a single pond that would allow 52 different items to be catchable. Disney may have just filled in some of the non-catchable species at certain ponds to be filled with boots instead. This sound highly likely, but I have no proof to show you on this. Without the means to piecemeal their programing apart, we'll never know for sure.

Both should be very easy to catch. I'm still catching tons of both when fishing in DL. The Harvest is fairly easy as well. The Full Moon will give you a bit of trouble catching and we've still got 2 other species of moon fish that no one has provenly caught yet.
