——-
Fish: Jhinga
Location: Thavnair
Hole: Thavnairian Coast
Bait: Mackerel Strip
Conditions: Any Time, Any Weather
Folklore Book: Ilsabard and the Northern Empty
Min Gathering: N/A (though Lv90+ gear is recommended)

🎣Basic Catching
Start off by using Prize Catch and casting out into in the Thavnairian Coast with Mackerel Strip. Jhinga is the only ! bite after 18 seconds (with a macro timer, see below) and thus is the only thing you should attempt to hook. On your first cast out after using Prize Catch, use Triple or Double Hook. You will get 3 or 2 Jhinga respectively. Once you’ve done that, cast back out and continue to hook (single, double, or triple) ! bites after 18s.

đŸ§ȘEfficiency/Optimizations
If you are at GP cap, use Prize catch and then Triple Hook. This will get you 3 Angler’s Art stacks. This is basically 150 GP you get to use via Thaliak’s Favor.
Jhinga has a surprisingly high bite rate, so Surface Slap and Chum are NOT recommended.
Versatile Lure is also NOT recommended. This is because it makes the bite times very long, and makes it so that Chalky Coral will bite during the window, meaning you can not blind hook Jhinga. This means you’ll be spending GP on Surface Slap instead of Prize Catch, and Double/Triple Hook.

Good luck and happy fishing!
