Hey Shuuin,
I just got level 60 fishing last week... yes we all know that it takes forever and a year.
I was thinking about trying these out, have you tried any other lures? Do you have a suggestion as to where to fish on the map, like a position? I heard that the bridge is a pretty safe bet?
Thanks in advance!

I haven't tried out any other lures yet, because from what I can tell, robber rig is the best bet. I was fishing today on the bridge at I-7, and it took a while but I got 2 stacks of trumpets eventually. There's plenty of other bridges to fish on, but that's the one I picked since it was closest to where I warped out from~ ^^

7 in an hour seems pretty low. Are you pulling up lots of non trumpet shells? Or possibly accidentally releasing?
Nah I didn't really pull up anything at all besides trumpet shells. They just didn't bite with much frequency. ;; I heard that they have better bite rate during lightning weather as well, but I'm not totally sure if there's any truth to that. Just something I'd heard. I'll have to pay attention to the weather next time.
For now, I'm going back to skilling up in Qufim with a Minnow and targeting Bluetails and Cone Calamary. I fish to fatigue, so I get about 1~2 levels a day doing that. I'm impatient so I tend to NPC what I get, especially the Bluetails since they go for a pretty penny (300g a pop if I recall). But yeah, that's just my setup for the moment. I'm gonna try getting a bit more skill before I attempt the trumpet shells again, I just thought I was doing something wrong since people were saying they got a trumpet to bite every other cast. O_o; Thanks again for all your input!
Oh yeah! You said you had an Ebisu, Dasva? Do you know if there's a noticeable difference fishing trumpets with that versus a Lu Shang's?
