Very minor update.

I largely spent my night fishing for the Crystal Bass for one of my Nation missions, and I am now starting to understand why the guide I'm using said to just buy it.

The issue is that when I use this one type of bait that's supposed to lower the opportunity of catching the wrong fish, it seems the only option I really have is to try and catch something I don't have a good probability of catching. So I have a feeling its a numbers game because I get the impression I need some serious fishing levels to catch it somewhat painlessly. The other bait option I had kept having me catch an army of crayfish I put up for auction for various prices as a screw over the economy in there because I'm more interested in getting quick cash, not gouging prices to get the most money. Which has surprisingly been working for me in the past.

Anyway, I may spend one more night trying to catch this fish naturally before I just stop being a dragon miser and just spend some gil I'm hoarding.
