Thank you for this! I was trying to figure out the best way to catch these, and I was pretty close to the method you used, but this should make it a lot easier.
...Spent ages trying to catch the carp earlier just for log completion. Didn't even realize it was a fish that might need Ambitious Lure until I saw that you had a guide for it... Thank you for this :P
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but this method doesn't work for me. A full 90% of the casts I throw out are small (!) hooks. After about 8 minutes of Rest I finally got a (!!) hook which was the giant snake head that I surface slapped and then started casting out again. It took another ten minutes before I got my first Carp. And then another 5 minutes after that of nothing but small hooks over and over until I surface slapped another Giant Snakehead again. 2 carps in 45 minutes seems like an insane waste of time. UPDATE: I stayed for another 15 minutes until I ran out of lures completely, and I walked away with 11 Carps which reduced into 35 sands, for an hour of farming.
You would, but I've found that you can just use it until you get the slap *anyways* because it'll help you build AA stacks to use Big-game Fishing. So, you're right, but also you don't need to wait that long to reapply if GP management isn't a huge issue for you.
Do stats effect how often the lure will trigger the dark form thing or other lure specific fish messages? Because i get the dark form message like once every like 20 ish lure uses.
Oh yeah after a 1 hour test run each; longnose gar is far far superior for sands but it gives the far less valuable ice crystals vs the water ones carp reduces, so I guess that's the trade off
Exactly my experience; I had literally not even done spearfishing since the revamp back in ShB or whenever and was able to figure it out within 10 mins and come out with far more aethersand
It's weird. The other day I did this and it went totally fine. But I went again today to restock on aethersand a bit and this was my experience. Took forever to even get 1, I got a couple more in pretty quick succession, and then it was cursed again. Wish I'd just gone spearfishing.
Thanks! I didn’t see it in the description so here’s my experience on the approximate sand amounts:
Bah, I knew I forgot something this morning.

this optimises things perfectly, thank you very much!
And here I was just strugglebus with spearfishing. great video
THANK YOU so much for this video!
If you told me that fsh would've gotten a fishing rotation in dawntrail I would've laughed and went on my day but here we are
This type of thing has always been around and used. It's just not been as obvious until now.
This is really helpful, thanks!
amazing as always dude!

after the first catch, wouldn't we need to surface slap again before using another prize catch to guarantee we get the cleyran carp?

@@FruitySnacks oh that's true. Thanks!

@@sopht_serve nope!
would you recommend catching carps when they bite on the first/second ambitious, or just going for the thirds?
You could go for the third ALure, but you can also just stop using ALure as soon as it triggers for GP management if it's needed.
all I get are frogs when I do this.
Is this better or worse than the Gar?
@@zemperish i do not have any numbers on that yet to answer with.

Spent like 10 minutes (after surface slap) just to get one fish.... I am not doing this for aethersand again lol
