In the Grotto I can catch these really easy with a lvl 29 fishing skill, Haly rod + Minnow just don't reel in on !!!s you'll never lose a Minnow to a bluetail but if you hook a bastore bream it has a possibility of doing so
Areas where found: Batallia Downs Bibiki Bay (Purgonorgo Isle) Buburimu Peninsula Den of Rancor East Sarutabaruta (Sea) Ferry (Normal) Ferry (Pirates) Manaclipper (Maliyakaleya Reef) Qufim Island (Ice Pond) Qufim Island (North) Qufim Island (South) Sauromugue Champaign Sea Serpent Grotto (Lake) West Sarutabaruta (Sea)
I can't imagine how this is a 55 skillcap. I'm a level 8 fisherman and can catch them on the ferry with a Halcyon rod and minnow lure, without getting a skill-up after my catch. In contrast, I was catching copper frogs at level 6 in the mine pool and getting .2 skill-up per catch.
with a fishing skill of 0 u can catch a Ryugu Titan (caps fishing 100 ) and won't get a skill up. As soon as the cap of a fish is alot higher then your current skill, you won't get skill ups unless you're really lucky.
You can catch a bluetail on the ferry in selbina/mhaura with a hume rod and a minnow at lv 20+. You can also use a comp rod or a Halcyon rod. I wouldnt suggest anyother rod because of breakage.
Bluetail is found in Saltwater locations, including Battalia Downs, East and West Sarutabaruta, Buburimu Peninsula, Sauromugue Champaign, Qufim, and Ship bound for Selbina/Muhara. If you use a composite/mithril/lu shangs rod you can break it on the ship. Fishing craft skill level is about 55. The fish is considered a small fish. The fish stacks now. You can catch the fish with sliced sardine or shrimp lure and the fish sells to the fishing guild for 675 gil.
