Recommended Bait
Fresh Tuna Carcass (Ground Placed)
Using the correct bait shortens bite latency by up to 60% and filters out lower-tier clutter.
Recommended Rod
Heavy Deep-Sea Rod + Heavy Braided Line
Provides adequate line strength to prevent snapping when tension spikes hit.
Veteran Mentor Tactical Advice:
You must use the Scoped Sniper Rifle ($1,200). Position yourself on the mid-tier basalt ledge. As the bird swoops into its attack loop, lead your crosshair slightly ahead of its beak to land the critical 3.5x headshot multiplier.
