General Knowledge
All places that all the different fish spawn can be found on the map below:










Red = Mortus Lungfish (Night), Yogwun, Khut-Khut (Day).

Fishing Spears +
There are 3 available fishing spears that can be purchased from Fisher Hai Luk.
(Lanzo fishing spear, Tulok fishing spear and Peram fishing spear.)
Some fishing spears only work effectively on certain fish. Here is a list on what works with what:

(Also includes standing gained from fish and Max Weight of the fish)

Mortus Lungfish = Peram or Lanzo Spear (Max Weight = 40.0kg)
Standing: S= 100 M= 125 L= 200

Khut Khut= Peram Spear (Max Weight = 20.0kg)
Standing: S= 25 M= 35 L= 50

Yogwun= Tulok Spear (Max Weight = 32.0kg)
Standing: S= 25 M= 35 L= 50

Goopolla= Tulok Spear (Max Weight = 20.0kg)
Standing: S= 25 M= 35 L= 50

Sharrac(B)= Tulok or Lanzo Spear (Max Weight = 40.0kg)
Standing: S= 100 M= 125 L= 200

Karkina(B)= Tulok Spear. (Max Weight = 30.0kg)
Standing: S= 100 M= 125 L= 200

Charc Eel= Tulok Spear (Max Weight = 20.0kg)
Standing: S=25 M=35 L=50

Mawfish= Tulok Spear (Max Weight = 30.0kg)
Standing: S= 25 M= 35 L= 50

Tralok= Tulok Spear (Max Weight = 40.0kg)

Standing: S= 500 M= 625 L= 1000

Norg(B)= Peram Spear (Max Weight = 40.0kg)
Standing: S=500 M=625 L=1000

Glappid(B)= Peram Spear (Max Weight = 45.0kg)
Standing: S= 1200 M= 1500 L= 2000

Boot= Any spear, anywhere. (Max Weight = 4.0kg)
Standing: S= 0 M= 0 L= 0
(^^^ (B) = Bait, fish with (B) need or recommend bait to catch.)

Baited Fish
Baited fish are fish that can only be caught with bait, or be easier to catch with bait. There are 2 aquatic animals in PoE that don't require a specific bait (Karkina & Sharrac), easily caught with Twilight bait. Though, there are 4 fish that can only be caught with their respected bait:

.Murkray
.Norg
.Cuthol
.Glappid

Bait is better used in the hotspots of the fish, yielding 1-3 fish on avg.








^^^ This is a hotspot. It is shown as bubbles on the surface of the water, generally near the shore.
If you attempt to throw bait in it or near it, it will raise the spawn rate of the fish of the bait you used. Murkrays are found in Ocean hotspots, along with Karkinas, Sharracs and Glappids. Norgs are found in the hotspots in the large lake near the spawn, and Cuthol can be found in small, shallow lakes. All of these fish are better found at night, the only exception being the Murkray, found at any time of day.
Personal Favourite Fishing Hotspots & Locations.
Here's the places where I find the most hotspots, heavy fish, and frequent spawns.

(Red = Ponds, Green= Lakes, Blue= Ocean)


















Any better spots for me to try out? Comment them if you like any!

Can you take a better screenshot of the bait spots? I'm having trouble finding anything resembling your screenshot or "bubbles on the surface of the water".

Yeah, the mortus lungfish is also common during the day, but not as much as the other fishes
(AUD) Auto  [author] 6 Nov, 2017 @ 11:49pm 
I have the locations and times crammed under the photo of the hotspot, @Rizik. and @The Dark Lord Haze, I only put the times they're most common,
Rizik 6 Nov, 2017 @ 7:12pm 
Could you please add the locations and times of day for baiting rare fish? Thanks!
